The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 434: Chapter 433: Truly Capricious Because of Beauty!

Chapter 434: Chapter 433: Truly Capricious Because of Beauty!

Lu Mian had known that her room was very likely arranged by Xiao Qimo.

Because there were many details only Director Qimo, who had visited her home, would understand.

If she counted this way, it was easy for her to deduce that the investor of this physical training camp was Xiao Qimo, and it seemed like something he would do.

She listened with a bored expression and overheard a keyword amid the gossip.

The investor was Xiu Qian’s uncle, here for Xiu Qian.

The “Xiao” of Xiao Qimo.

The “Xiu” of Xiu Qian.

This probably wasn’t a coincidence.

Before she could think more, piercing screams from her classmates filled her ears.

Tired, she simply pulled up her hoodie, rested her head on the desk, and closed her eyes to rest.

“Ah, my male god is so cool!”

“Xiu Qian’s uncle must be a domineering CEO, right?

Although an uncle might be a bit old, looking at Xiu Qian’s looks, I think age isn’t a problem!”

“Me too!

We’ve truly encountered a real-life domineering CEO this time!”

The boys, on the other hand, sighed more.

“Finally found the reason, I thought we all just got incredibly lucky!”

“So it’s not because we are outstanding, but because Xiu Qian is outstanding…”

However, this excitement didn’t last long.

It stopped abruptly when Wan Haixiang and Xiu Qian arrived.

From then on, the way the girls looked at Xiu Qian changed.

In addition to admiration, their eyes sparkled.

Especially Fang Xilan, who even quietly greeted him when Xiu Qian passed by her.

——

Today was Wan Haixiang’s first day as a substitute teacher.

After entering the class, he scanned the students and his gaze landed on the last row by the window.

Lu Mian had already stopped lying down, but her tired and languid appearance was really off-putting.

He shook his head, but when he looked at Xiu Qian again, his attitude softened slightly.

Fortunately, he chose Xiu Qian and not that Lu Mian.

Everyone listened carefully to Professor Wan Haixiang’s lessons, and without realizing it, two classes had passed.

After the lessons, there was a half-hour break, and the girls gathered to gossip, talk about scandals, and occasionally discuss beauty products.

Qiao Yaning, being the daughter among these girls, naturally became the center of attention.

Qu Weiwei hovered around her, complimenting both her slimness and her fairness.

Qiao Yaning was in a good mood too, looking around at the new classmates, she shared, “Let me share a whitening product with you.

I succeeded in becoming fairer using this.

Oh yes, I’ve placed a new order; it should be delivered soon.

You guys can try it out then; don’t be shy with me!”

“Yaning, you’re too polite.

The beauty products you buy must be very expensive!”

“Definitely!

When has Yaning ever bought something cheap?

The sweater she’s wearing costs several thousand.”

“Then the beauty products must be for the affluent, right?”

The girls looked at each other, sighing in admiration.

Qiao Yaning waved her hand, “Don’t say that, they’re not so expensive, just over ten thousand yuan.”

“Over ten thousand yuan!”

Most of the girls around gasped, not one of them was a tycoon, let alone born into a prestigious family.

They had never seen anyone casually throw ten thousand on skincare or makeup.

Some of them didn’t even know there were cosmetics that cost ten thousand yuan in this world.

“But Yaning, your skin is really nice, it’s true that a girl has to take care of her skin.”

Qiao Yaning nodded as well, “Yeah, I’m sure all of us take care of our skin, right?

It’s just basic for a girl.

You see, our faces are full of collagen now, but once we hit twenty-four or five, if we don’t maintain it, our faces will slowly be overrun with wrinkles.”

While they were on this topic, Zhang Yanyan suddenly turned her head to look at the girl sitting next to her.

She had never seen Lu Mian wear makeup and asked out of curiosity, “Lu Mian, do you do skincare?”

Lu Mian shook her head, her fair face brightening with a natural, clean smile, “Just some moisturizer.”

Zhang Yanyan let out an “Oh,” admiringly.

Pretty and capricious indeed!

Such a beautiful face and good skin, even he, a boy, was jealous.

“But, you look a bit pale today; are you not feeling well?”

Lu Mian lazily lifted her eyelids, “Nope.”

The activity lasted half an hour, and after chatting for a bit, someone holding a phone called out, “Stop just talking about that, let’s do something productive.”

“Class just ended, let’s rest for a while.”

The person waved their hand, “No, I have this little game here, it’s about physics, and pretty fun.

Come and try it.”

Since Wan Haixiang was sitting on the stage drinking tea, everyone had to show interest in the game to impress him.

The game was quite easy to get the hang of and was entertaining.

It even helped consolidate some physics knowledge through the levels.

Although they didn’t really want to play such games after class, Wan Haixiang was there, after all.

“Look at this game, there’s a leaderboard!

It selects 10 random questions, and ranks you based on time and accuracy.”

Since their arrival, they hadn’t had any exams, only knowing their competition scores.

But competition scores were only a part of it.

Now that they came across a leaderboard that could instantly evaluate everyone’s level, many were intrigued.

“Come on, give it a try, it’s time to prove our strength.”

Even Wan Haixiang showed interest.

He walked down from the stage, adjusted his glasses, picked up a phone to look at the game, and nodded, “This game is good, you can play for a bit.

Learn while having fun.”

Hearing they were going to compete, Zhang Yanyan couldn’t sit still at his own desk.

He couldn’t help but grab his phone and run over.

But ever since Lu Mian had established a reputation for him, some automatically felt hostility against him and deliberately excluded him from the game.

Additionally, since Fang Xilan had told everyone about the notebook incident yesterday, the resentment had grown.

“Zhang Yanyan, go play with Lu Mian, why don’t you?

You keep things to yourself instead of sharing physics resources with us, so why should we include you in the competition?”

“Right, Zhang Yanyan, your status isn’t the same anymore.

You’ve got a big shot to boost you, so don’t hang around with us.

You’re the future top five, so we’re rooting for you!”

Their words dripped with sarcasm, grinding on one’s nerves.

Wan Haixiang already had no fondness for Lu Mian, so after hearing a gist of the comments, he glanced over at Lu Mian’s seat.

Zhang Yanyan could only slump back to his seat with his head hung low.

Once settled, he glanced in Fang Xilan’s direction, his gaze deep with thought.

Fang Xilan seemed to notice and averted her gaze guiltily.

Lu Mian, on the other hand, didn’t take it to heart.

She exited her game interface and lifted her chin, “What game?

I’ll join you.”
