“Huh, what the heck?” Su Xiaoye frowned. Why wasn’t her password working? She tried the lock screen password again.
“Wrong password.”
“Sh*t,” Su Xiaoye got angry. She had been using this password for many years, there’s no way she could have forgotten it. Why on earth was it showing the wrong password?
“Hey, classmate, the teacher is watching you,” a classmate from the front row poked Su Xiaoye’s arm and reminded her aloud.
Su Xiaoye looked up and locked eyes with the teacher at the podium, and for some reason, she was taken aback. It was probably because she had unconsciously uttered “sh*t” a bit too loudly earlier.
Not only the teacher, but even several classmates were staring at her.
Su Xiaoye hurriedly put her phone away and tucked it into her desk. She tried to appear as a well-behaved student.
The teacher then shifted her gaze and continued with her lecture.
Though Su Xiaoye appeared to be sitting properly, her mind was preoccupied with her phone’s lock screen password, which couldn’t possibly be wrong.
During a brief pause when the teacher was writing on the blackboard, Su Xiaoye discreetly took out her phone again. She pulled down the notification bar, and it was a call from her mother.
Her mother must be worried about her since she hadn’t called to check in after arriving here. But her phone couldn’t be unlocked, and she couldn’t return her mother’s call.
The whole class, Su Xiaoye was in a state of frustration. Even when the bell for the end of the class rang, she hadn’t quite registered it yet. Her slender fingers kept sliding back and forth on the phone’s screen. Should she just go to a specialty store to get her phone unlocked?
Su Xiaoye was planning to go to a specialty store after school to get her phone fixed when a sudden shadow loomed in front of her. It was only then that she noticed that the previously quiet classroom had turned quite noisy.
“What the heck? Why did Land Lord stop in front of that girl?”
“Hey, look, Land Lord is actually smiling! Who is that girl?”
“Hmph, who is she to have caught Land Lord’s attention? On her first day, she doesn’t even know the rules.”
“That kind of girl couldn’t possibly be of any interest to Land Lord. Don’t worry about it.”
…
The room buzzed with discussions. Su Xiaoye barely paid attention. She was still focused on her phone’s malfunction, unaware that it had caused such a commotion.
This confounding person, why couldn’t he just go away?
Su Xiaoye hadn’t forgotten that this guy had interrupted her call, grabbed her, and even took her ID card.
“Why don’t you leave? Are you infatuated with me?” Su Xiaoye frowned and glared at Luo Sichen, feeling irritated.
Still not in a good mood, her phone inexplicably malfunctioned, and now this persistent guy appeared. Su Xiaoye even wondered if the feng shui of this place was unfavorable for her.
“Goodness, what did that girl say? Land Lord likes her? Impossible!”
“Who is she to think that Land Lord would like her? Delusions…”
Su Xiaoye’s casual words unknowingly stirred the anger of a group of infatuated girls.
“Did you hear that? Take a look at yourself in the mirror. I would like you? Wishful thinking…”
Luo Sichen smirked and, listening to those comments, his mood couldn’t be better.
“Pff, a group of short-sighted infatuated girls.”
Su Xiaoye glanced at the girls who had spoken earlier, her face filled with disdain.
“Since it’s not about liking me, go about your business and stop bothering me. Annoying.”
