Chapter 143 - I Will Make Sure To Enjoy My Prize (1)
Shen Minyao didn't look for her human contractor since their last argument and chose to home-study with Li Fei'er in her dorm instead. The younger woman seemed to notice that Shen Minyao was in a foul mood.
"Little Master, did something happen recently?" She asked Xiao Bai, who was resting on her lap, as she scratched the back of his ears.
"She had a quarrel with Master Yichen," the white cat replied as he purred from being petted by Li Fei'er.
"Oh, is that so? No wonder she isn't in a good mood lately," Li Fei'er said in return.
Shen Minyao, who could hear their conversation clearly with her heightened senses, scoffed and chose to focus on her notes. Zhao Yichen should know how wrong he was for lowering his guard in front of another demon by now. Anyway, with only a week left before their midterm exams, she couldn't waste time wondering what her contractor was up to.
The bet she had with Shen Qing and Xu Shenshen was still on. She couldn't possibly lose to those idiots, right? Thankfully, Li Fei'er and Fu Xiyan were willing to help her with some parts of the lessons she couldn't understand, much to the two humans' confusion..
The things Shen Minyao was asking about were too easy to understand in human terms. Was Shen Minyao teasing them or what? However, as they looked at Shen Minyao's serious expression, they yielded and still answered her questions willingly.
Shen Minyao didn't take a break from studying even after Fu Xiyan and Li Fei'er went home. Even the nights were spent reading and reviewing the notes the real Shen Minyao had written. Thankfully, the notes she had written were easy for the fox woman to understand. The words were very concise and straightforward, unlike the other textbooks she was reading.
A week had passed, and the midterm exams would be taking place today. After completing the exams, it would be another weekend the fox woman was looking to enjoy.
Upon going to school coming from her dorm, Shen Minyao paused in her tracks when she met Shen Qing's hateful gaze, to which the fox woman answered by flashing an evil smile at the other woman.
Shen Qing's heart skipped a beat. What could Shen Minyao's smile mean?
Something really changed about this cousin of hers. How could Shen Minyao be so daring like this?
"Good luck on your exam today, Cousin," Shen Qing said with a mocking tone.
"Hn. Dear cousin should prepare ice packs and ointments once the results are out. I will make sure to enjoy my prize later."
Shen Minyao went straight to their classroom and found Xu Shenshen looking at her smugly. The moment the fox woman saw Xu Shenshen's face, she had this itch to find the woman in her pitiful state for the third time.
The fox woman scoffed and tucked a few stray locks behind her ear as she took a seat, ignoring the unkind gaze Xu Shenshen was sending her way. The young woman could glare all she wanted, but it wouldn't change the fact that she and Shen Qing were destined to lose to Shen Minyao in the future. In the meantime, the fox woman could only wait and do her best on her exams to ace it.
"Heh, are you ready for the exam, Classmate Shen? Please don't disappoint us, okay?" She taunted Shen Minyao.
How could she not use this time to insult Shen Minyao? After all the humiliation she suffered from because of this woman, she couldn't wait to see Shen Minyao's pitiful expression later once she lost their bet.
"Hn. It seems Classmate Xu is certain she will win because she had spent some time with a man rather than reviewing her notes," the fox woman said with a mocking tone, which made Xu Shenshen pull a long face.
The rest of the class was paying attention to them, so Xu Shenshen could only sneer at Shen Minyao and return to her seat. She had no idea how her classmate found out about her private affairs, and it's not like spending time with a man was a luxury.
The jealousy on Xu Shenshen's face intensified upon receiving Shen Minyao's nonchalant attitude. She had always been confident in her beauty since she was a child, but compared to Shen Minyao, her face was lacking and boring.
Shen Minyao's appearance made her realize that she was never the most beautiful or even outstanding. Her hatred towards Shen Minyao only intensified when the other woman gained so much admiration from their schoolmates while Shen Minyao repeatedly humiliated her at the same time.
What was the deal with Shen Minyao, anyway? How could a meek and gentle person like her turn over a new leaf in such a short time?
Xu Shenshen had to admit that the Shen Minyao they were seeing now was so frightening. No matter how she schemed in the past, this girl could easily outwit her and beat her in her own game.
"Yaoyao, are you ready for today?" Li Fei'er suddenly appeared next to Shen Minyao.
The fox woman raised a brow, noticing how this human shed the formalities between them and acknowledged her intimately. What was their relationship aside from being classmates? Who gave Li Fei'er the right to call her Yaoyao?
"I think I'm ready," she admitted.
Heck, she spent days studying nonstop to catch up with the lessons she wasn't able to learn before she took over Shen Minyao's body. She couldn't allow those two sluts to win the bet. Her pride wouldn't allow her to do so.
"Then, that's good. Dad has been nagging at me for days, and I barely have time to sleep," Li Fei'er complained.
The corners of Shen Minyao's lips curled up.
"Don't take it to heart, Classmate Li. I'm sure your father only wants the best for you."
Li Fei'er huffed at that. "You always take my father's side. Yaoyao. Why can't you be on my side?"
