Lin Siran looked at her and kept quiet for a while. She then reached out and patted her on the shoulder. “A-All the best.”

She continued doing her own revision but would turn around to check on Qin Ran once in a while. Qin Ran rendered her speechless.

Soon, a note was passed down from the back. It was Qiao Sheng asking about what was wrong with Qin Ran.

Lin Siran looked at the note and wrote a reply expressionlessly.

She turned around and passed it back to Qiao Sheng.

“Guys, we were so cool!” The back row students were so proud of themselves. “Li Airong, she... I just want to thumb her down!”

The First Class was basically the top 100 students in the school. They had a sense of superiority over the other classes. Even Li Airong herself despised the rest and often said, “Our First Class would...”

The Ninth Class had resented her for the longest time.

Now that they got her out, everyone was more than happy!

Qiao Sheng put his pen down and opened the folded note.

Lin Siran wrote: [She said she wants to study and do well.]

“Are you alright?” Qiao Sheng’s deskmate asked him.

Qiao Sheng shook his head. How could he be alright? Li Airong had agitated her so badly...

**

Ms. Chen only took the 19th Class and a humanities class in Year Two. Now that she had the additional Ninth Class, her cubicle was moved to the Year Three teaching building.

It was a Tuesday.

It was the first time Ms. Chen was going to the Ninth Class for lessons, so she was a little anxious.

The other teachers in the staff room had offered a few words of concern.

“The kids in the Ninth Class have pretty good brains,” a physics teacher said with a thermos flask in her hands. “They’re willing to listen in class too. That Lin Siran is rather smart and improves really fast.”

The physics teacher was sharing her experiences with Ms. Chen. Recently, the Physics results of the Ninth Class had improved tremendously.

Ms. Chen listened attentively.

Mr. Li, who’d turned Gao Yang down the previous day, said, “Ms. Chen, don’t be too nervous. You’ve got three renowned students in your class, not a bad thing.”

That was what he said, but it was obviously not what he meant.

Even Qiao Sheng alone was hard to manage. Li Airong was so angry she left the class. If Ms. Chen wanted to take them in hand...

It’d be hard.

Ms. Chen arrived at the Ninth Class.

To her surprise, they were all silent and doing their work when she entered.

Ms. Chen intuitively turned towards Qin Ran.

Qin Ran hadn’t been in First Middle School for a long time, but word about her abounded.

The most common of which was her bad temper.

The other one was Xiu Luochang, also from Year Three, the Ninth Class.

The three renowned figures of the school were gathered in one class.

Qin Ran sat by the window, leaning against the wall slightly. She was looking down, so Ms. Chen could only see her side profile. Even so, she was exceptionally pretty.

She had her pen in her left hand, and on the table was a very popular English resource material.

She was wearing the school uniform, which many others were unwilling to. Overall, she looked obedient.

But given that an important teacher like Li Airong couldn’t take them in hand, Ms. Chen obviously had a cause for concern.

Even so, Ms. Chen found that the students of the Ninth Class were not as rude as she’d expected them to be. They were listening in her class attentively.

Even Qin Ran, the big boss among the students, was listening.

She also noticed that besides Xu Yaoguang, Lin Siran’s English knowledge was the best.

After the class, a few students even went up to Ms. Chen to ask her some questions.

Ms. Chen cleared her throat and answered them one by one.

Only when the next period started did she leave the class and head for the staff room.

What happened to the horrible, inattentive Ninth Class? What happened to the Qin Ran who was always sleeping or reading other novels?

This...

Wasn’t this completely different from what everyone had told her?

**

The teachers in the staff room were chatting and couldn’t resist asking a few questions when they saw her return.

Mr. Li was marking some English scripts. Seeing that Ms. Chen appeared rather stunned and confused, he felt fortunate that he didn’t have to be put through it. But he consoled her, anyway. “Ninth Class is like that. Ms. Chen, don’t worry too much about them.”

The weather was quite cold that day.

Ms. Chen poured herself a cup of warm water and held it in her hands. She quietly said, “No... the Ninth Class students are very obedient. They’re attentive in class, and they even have questions for me.”

Li Airong had been waiting in the staff room to watch Ms. Chen’s reaction.

Hearing what Ms. Chen said, Ms. Li gathered her stack of papers and headed for First Class. Before leaving, she said sarcastically, “Too stubborn to admit it.”

The Ninth Class students were either playing games or sleeping in class. Listening attentively? Who was she bluffing?

As for Qiao Sheng and Qin Ran, they wouldn’t even be bothered.

Li Airong did not want her teaching award to be at stake because of the Ninth Class. It was obvious from the moment she refused to let Qin Ran into her class.

The other teachers in the staff room also felt that Ms. Chen didn’t want to admit the truth. Even though they were smiling on the outside, they were annoyed on the inside.

Seeing their reactions, Ms. Chen decided not to say anything more.

Anyway, they wouldn’t believe her.

Dismissal time in the afternoon.

Qin Ran, Lin Siran, and a few others went to the canteen again. It was only later in the afternoon did she remember that she’d forgotten about the school doctor’s office and Cheng Juan since the previous evening.

When she left at night, she went to the school doctor’s office.

Lu Zhaoying was attending to a girl when she arrived.

“Come and get more painkillers when you need. You can’t leave your condition like this, go to a dentist as soon as you can.” Lu Zhaoying handed her two tablets of painkillers and wrote a medical certificate for her, asking her to go to a professional dentist outside of school.

The girl thanked him while holding one side of her face.

Lu Zhaoying removed his white coat when she left. “Qin Ran, why are you here only now?”

Cheng Juan, who was sitting inside, looked up when he heard him.

Qin Ran found herself a stool to sit on. “Well, our examinations start this Saturday. I was studying.”

Her cell phone rang in her pocket.

She glanced at it and saw that it was Chang Ning’s message.

Ever since they exchanged their cell phone numbers the previous day, Chang Ning had been calling her directly instead of going through her false account.

She figured that Chang Ning was asking about the situation yesterday and decided not to read it.

She would look at it later instead.

Lu Zhaoying was getting his cell phone from the drawer and almost dropped it when he heard her.

It was indeed rather shocking to hear someone who often scored 20 to 30 marks say that she was studying.

Cheng Juan leaned back in his seat and encouraged her. “All the best, don’t be too stressed out.”

“I know.” Qin Ran nodded.

Lu Zhaoying was speechless.

How stressed out could she be...

Were they mad...

Then, some voices came from the door.

One of them was Cheng Mu’s.

He and Hao Dui came in. Hao Dui’s face was stern and his voice loud.

Cheng Mu was looking at Hao Dui, surprised. “Really?”

Cheng Mu hardly spoke much and he often had a default expression.

Lu Zhaoying turned his cell phone on and asked, “What is it? You seem so excited.”

“Well...” Hao Dui was about to say something when he saw Qin Ran. It was obvious what he meant.

Qin Ran drank a cup of water quietly, wondering if she should leave.

But Cheng Mu went on anyway. “My goddess signed up for it! Young Master Mu, 129 is definitely recruiting her this time!”

Qin Ran went completely silent upon hearing “129” and her fingers started tapping away on the table.

Realizing that Cheng Mu went on ahead and said it without a second thought, Hao Dui turned around and looked at Qin Ran. It’d only been a few days, why did Cheng Mu change so much?

He wasn’t guarded against Qin Ran at all?

Qin Ran continued drinking her water without looking up and did not react to Cheng Mu’s words at all.

Hao Dui was slightly stunned. He found her lack of reaction strange. Then, something came to his mind. Qin Ran was an ordinary Year Three student, how would she know what 129 Detective Agency was?
