This Slacker Was Going Too Far!

The dean leaned close to Bai Chi's ear and whispered, "Lan Qingxin is famous among the first-years for being a total waste of space. She's come in last on every exam, and she'll probably be expelled after the final exams this time... This also proves that Imperial University is fair. If your grades are bad, you won't last here..."

Bai Chi agreed wholeheartedly. "I'm relieved you think so too."

Lan Qingxin was exactly the same as before.

Still just as useless.

And, somehow, even uglier...

Bai Chi looked at the hideous dark-green birthmark on Lan Qingxin's face and couldn't help shuddering.

Jue was far too intelligent to waste time on a little nobody. He certainly wouldn't let that affect his decision to sell Bai Chi the robot and ruin their friendship of more than twenty years.

Well, even if Jue, the ten-thousand-year iceberg, had started taking an interest in women... Bai Chi could play matchmaker and introduce him to a few beautiful, high-IQ top students. Heh.

Like Gong Niannian, the little CEO of the Gong Family, or Huo Yangyang, the little beauty of the Huo Family...

In the hospital room.

Qin Xin raised her eyes and gave Bai Chi's retreating figure a casual glance.

The young master of the Bai Family.

When she'd been in charge of the Qin Family's businesses, she'd focused on the pharmaceutical trade and secretly investigated every pharmaceutical giant in the empire. Bai Corporation was naturally no exception.

According to her research, the young master of the Bai Family had never failed to win over a girl he pursued, but not one of his business ventures had ever made money.

"Why would that idiot take an interest in Lan Qingxin?"

Qin Xin bit off another piece of winter chrysanthemum. The faint fragrance of medicine mingled with the floral scent, sweet and pleasant.

She raised her little mirror and saw that the green around the edges of the dark-green birthmark on her forehead had begun to fade.

The detoxification was working well.

Of course, it would be even better if she had more natural bezoar and dog gallstones, two medicinal ingredients.

"I still need to find time to go back to Qin Corporation." She pondered silently. "I can't let Qin Wenrou and Lan Yingjun get their hands on the precious medicinal ingredients accumulated over all these years."

The old teacher stared resentfully at Qin Xin, who was daydreaming in class and, despite being hideously ugly, kept holding up her little mirror to admire herself. "..."

This slacker was going too far!

Stare~!

Three days later.

The wound on Qin Xin's forehead had scabbed over, and she was ready to leave the hospital.

The doctor wanted to remove the bandage, but Qin Xin refused.

Instead, she wrapped another thick layer of bandage around her forehead and let her long hair down, covering almost half her face.

Xiangxiang thought sympathetically, Little Miss must be afraid her classmates will laugh at how ugly she is.

"Little Miss, if anyone talks about your face... just treat them like... crazy people spouting nonsense, okay?"

Qin Xin: "Mm."

She'd taken the detoxifying medicine for three days, and the birthmark had faded considerably. Lan Qingxin's face had also grown much fairer.

If she showed her face so soon, she really would scare a bunch of people out of their minds.

So she had to keep it hidden for now.

Xiangxiang was still worried. "Little Miss, focus on your classes. I'll be working part-time in the cafeteria, so you can call me whenever you need me. If anyone bullies you, Young Master Jue can—"

Qin Xin raised an eyebrow. Her cheap older brother had even hired a maid who worked part-time? That big-shot CEO was a real penny-pincher.

She started to leave and casually waved her pale hand behind her. "Take good care of my plants."

The winter chrysanthemums on the windowsill strained to bloom, one after another. "..."

Xiangxiang was confused. "..."

Why did Little Miss always cut her off whenever she mentioned Young Master Jue?

She hadn't been like this before.

Qin Xin wasn't leaving to go to class. She was planning to return to the Qin Family.

But...

As soon as she stepped out of the school gate, a Benz came speeding toward her and screeched to a stop right in front of her.

It had nearly run over her foot.

—[Bedtime Mini-Story]—

Young Master Jue: "Why weren't you paying attention in class?"

Lord Qing: "I'm ugly. I didn't want to scare the teacher."

Young Master Jue: "Why didn't you do the exercises?"

Lord Qing: "Because I'm useless."

Young Master Jue (forcing down his anger): "Why did you get into a fight?"

Lord Qing: "Oh, that? Because I'm weak."

A group of classmates she'd beaten bloody glared at her resentfully.

Lord Qing, who was ugly, useless, and weak, spread her hands innocently. "Believe me, I really didn't use any strength. Sigh, it's hard being human."
