185: Who The Hell Do You Think You Are?

Who The Hell Do You Think You Are?

The city level National Quiz Contest results were scheduled to be out in a couple of days. 2

Huo Yao looked at Lu Xia and gave her a spurious smile. A light breeze played with a lock of her hair and made it flutter gently around her mouth. She replied in a lazy manner. "Who do you think you are?"

Her voice was slightly husky and naturally arrogant. Even when she cursed, it did not sound uncouth. Instead, she gave off an impish air.

Lu Xia's expression gradually froze. But then her lips quickly curved into a mocking smile and she said, "Are you getting cocky after attaining the first position a couple of times?"

Huo Yao raised her brow. She had always wondered about the reason why the Lu family's biological daughter sought her attention so desperately.

Lu Xia had already returned to her powerful family and was surrounded by her doting parents. Did she keep posturing like this because she had nothing better to do?

Huo Yao shook her head with disinterest before veering her eyes away. She could not be bothered speaking to her and made a move towards the school gates.

Lu Xia watched Huo Yao walk away with angry eyes.

Lu Xia hated how Huo Yao looked down on everyone. Despite growing up in the countryside, she kept acting cool. Did Huo Yao think she was someone important?

That was hilarious!

Lu Xia wound up the car window and angrily told the chauffeur to drive on.

After entering the class, Huo Yao noticed that Meng Ying was in school today. She sat down and patted Meng Ying on her shoulder.

Meng Ying was in a daze. In the past, she had always walked over to say hi when she saw Huo Yao. This time, she only managed to gather her thoughts when Huo Yao patted her on her shoulder.

"Sister Big Shot, hi," said Meng Ying tiredly.

Huo Yao looked at how weary Meng Ying looked. Her dark eye rings could almost compare to that of a panda's. She asked her in a gentle voice. "Didn't you get any sleep last night?"

Meng Ying lay prone on the table with her eyes narrowed and replied sadly. "I couldn't sleep. The moment I think about my Dad, I feel awful."

"Take care. Or else, if you fall sick when your father wakes up, he will feel bad. Moreover, you have to take care of your mother," said Huo Yao calmly.

Huo Yao wanted to help, but this was not the right time. After all, Meng Ying's father had just undergone a major surgery and was still in the recovery stage. If she gave him acupuncture at this juncture, he might not be able to take it. Instead, it would be counterproductive.

Meng Ying sniffled and did her utmost to cheer up and said, "Yes, I get it."

Huo Yao smiled. She took out a notebook from her desk, and found the Mathematics notes she had taken yesterday. She placed them on Meng Ying's table.

Meng Ying looked at the powerful writing in the notebook. When she saw the easy to follow methods to solve equations and the main points, she was deeply filled with gratitude and said, "Thanks."

Huo Yao raised her brow and teased her. "My deskmate can't perform too poorly. Or else, it will be a disgrace for me since I'm the top ranked student."

Meng Ying nodded and took the notebook without continuing with the conversation.

Every minute mattered during the senior year. If someone was willing to sacrifice her time and prepare revision notes for her, then that person was a true friend.

The third period was English. The teacher came in and handed out a test paper before telling everyone to complete it on their own. Then she asked Huo Yao to follow her into the office.

She was used to getting called to the office by her Chinese teacher, Chen Yu, but this time, it was the English teacher. Also, she asked her to do this in the middle of class… so Huo Yao was caught by surprise.
