"Thank you so much. If it wasn't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do." Sun Yingyi happily took the book from Xiaolin's hands.

"You are welcome. You are my friend, so naturally, you are my friend as well." Xiaolin waved her hand and dragged Sun Yingyi out of the library. "Just remember to return it to me as soon as you finish reading it."

After all, she was usually a very open-minded person. She would never have any ulterior motives when she did things. It was also because of this that she was able to become friends with Sun Yingyi.

Sun Yingyi looked at Xiaolin's back and felt a little emotional. Ever since her family had fallen, Xiaolin had been the first person who was willing to help her without asking for anything in return. Thinking about this, she felt a little lucky for herself. She was able to obtain such a friend.

At this moment, Sun Yingyi suddenly remembered Soong Xiaoyu. The person who would help her without asking for anything in return just like Xiaolin.

However, time had changed. She no longer knew where Soong Xiaoyu had gone to, nor did she know if she would have the chance to meet her again.

Xiaolin noticed that Sun Yingyi's mood was a little off. She was not as energetic as before, so she turned around and asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I was just stunned for a moment. We still have classes in the afternoon. Let's go back quickly." Sun Yingyi shook her head and forced a smile at Xiaolin. Then, she took Xiaolin and ran towards the classroom.

Knowing that Sun Yingyi had something on her mind, Xiaolin did not force her.

Sun Yingyi originally thought that after the last competition, Lau Qianqian would become calmer. Although it was not to the extent of breaking off all previous grudges, it should still be fine.

However, this time, she had miscalculated. From the moment Sun Yingyi entered the school, she could feel Lau Qianqian's sharp eyes shooting at her. If these eyes had any killing power, she would have been riddled with holes by now.

Even Xiaolin could see through Lau Qianqian's scheme. Taking advantage of the time when the teacher turned around, she quietly moved to Sun Yingyi's side and whispered, "Lau Qianqian seems to have come with ill intentions. You have to be careful."

"Don't worry."

Sun Yingyi patted the back of Xiaolin's hand to comfort her.

She was not a fool. She could naturally see Lau Qianqian's ill intentions. Therefore, during the entire class, she maintained a very far distance from Lau Qianqian, afraid that she would do something to her.

After all, this was the school. Even if Sun Yingyi did not like Lau Qianqian's personality, she could not fight her head on. Furthermore, it was in front of the teacher.

If she fell into Lau Qianqian's trap, it would be fine if she was punished. If she caused a big problem, perhaps the guarantor behind her, Zhao Mohan, would be implicated.

If she failed to live up to Zhao Mohan's trust and ruined his plans, then her mother and her family's grievances would not be able to be alleviated by her. Since she could not afford to offend him, Sun Yingyi decided to take the initiative.

"Hiss—"

While picking herbs, Sun Yingyi felt as if she had been tripped by something. Her body leaned forward and she was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, she was quick to react. With just a few swaying, she stood firmly on the ground.

Sun Yingyi wanted to check out what exactly was blocking her way.

When she lowered her head, she saw a brick lying on the ground, but it was hidden very well. If she did not look carefully, she would not be able to find it.

"Where did the brick come from?" Sun Yingyi frowned and muttered softly. Then, she looked around, but everyone present was busy with their own things, so she could not find anyone suspicious.

Even so, Sun Yingyi could guess that it was most likely Liu Yiyi's doing.

Sun Yingyi did not expect that even though she had deliberately avoided Liu Qianqian, she would not let her go. She even used such a method to make her embarrass herself.

If not for the fact that there were so many people around, Sun Yingyi would have rushed to her and asked her what was in her head.

At this moment, Sun Yingyi was very clear that no matter how she tried to retreat, Liu Qianqian would not let her go. As long as she was in Liu Qianqian's line of sight, she would fall into her trap.

Therefore, Lau Qianqian decided not to hide anymore. She stood in front of Lau Qianqian openly to see what tricks she was going to play.

"You are so slow. Be careful not to delay everyone's progress."

Seeing that Lau Qianqian had taken the initiative to approach her, Lau Qianqian pretended to be arrogant and scolded her loudly, attracting everyone's attention to the two of them.

"Many thanks to Miss Mo for your reminder. However, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between us. If I am slow, I wonder what Miss Mo will do?" Lau Qianqian asked calmly, not flustered at all.

Ever since Lau Qianqian became familiar with Lau Qianqian, she had become famous in the Imperial Hospital. In this secret competition, she was not the slightest bit weak. It made everyone present feel that she had some courage.

After all, no one in the Imperial Hospital was not afraid of Miss Mo. Even the principal could do nothing to her.

"If Miss Mo has nothing else to do, why don't you let me pass? Otherwise, not only will it delay my time, it will also delay your own studies."

After saying that, Lau Qianqian did not even look at Lau Qianqian and directly walked past her.

Lau Qianqian, who had been ignored, was even more furious. She wanted Lau Qianqian to show her true colors.

"When your identity is exposed to everyone, let's see what you can use to show off your power to me." Lau Qianqian muttered to herself fiercely.

After saying that, Lau Qianqian placed her hand behind her back. With a flip of her hand, a gust of air flowed past, and a dent appeared on the path that Sun Yingyi had to pass through.

As Lau Qianqian expected, Sun Yingyi, who was looking straight ahead, stepped into the dent.

Because she had stepped on air, Sun Yingyi did not grasp her balance and fell to the ground.

"Dong!"

The muffled sound of Sun Yingyi falling to the ground attracted everyone's attention. In an instant, everyone gathered around Sun Yingyi. From time to time, a few concerned voices could be heard from the crowd.

"Xiaoliu, are you alright?" Xiaolin knelt down beside Sun Yingyi and asked with a worried expression.

Sun Yingyi remained in the same position as she fell to the ground. No one knew how she was doing.

"What's wrong? Even our Imperial Hospital's geniuses have times when they miss their steps." Seeing that the time was almost up, Lau Qianqian also gathered in the crowd. She revealed a malicious smile and ridiculed Sun Yingyi.

"Xiaoliu is already injured. As a fellow classmate, Miss Mo should be concerned about her. Why are you ridiculing her like this?" Xiaolin could not stand it anymore and glared at Lau Qianqian as he questioned her.

Lau Qianqian's goal was not Xiaolin, so she did not care about this little thug's taunts at all. Instead, she focused all her attention on Sun Yingyi.

However, Xiaolin's words were also a blow to her. Lau Qianqian took advantage of her words and set a fire, revealing her true motive, "Since you're injured, why don't you take a look at the students here? First, you can examine what you have learned in the past, and second, you can be friends with your classmates. Otherwise, some of you might be a bunch of jackals."

"Since you're injured, you naturally need to see if there are any symptoms on your legs." Lau Qianqian added with a "good heart".

At this moment, Sun Yingyi, who had been lying on the ground and listening to everyone's movements, finally knew why Lau Qianqian was trying to tease her today.
