Chapter 130: Feng Xiran's Venomous Grudge

Feng Xiran hated Su Ruo intensely, but she still pretended to be an innocent, hurt little white flower.

But Guan Yue's words quickly shattered her pretense: "Classmate Feng Xiran, I don't know who gave you this, but I advise you not to give it away casually; everything one obtains in life is predetermined, and if you try to forcefully take what isn't yours, you will surely suffer backlash."

Su Ruo looked at Guan Yue in surprise; she had only learned the gourd's origin from the system's reminder, and she hadn't expected Guan Yue to see through it at a glance.

However, Su Ruo wasn't surprised by this; after all, Huaxia Country hides many experts, so it's not strange that a few people understand feng shui and the occult.

Feng Xiran widened her eyes in shock; she hadn't expected Guan Yue to know the gourd's function, and instantly a chill ran down her spine.

But she quickly composed her expression: "Classmate Guan Yue, I also bought this gourd because it looks nice and wanted to give it to everyone; if you don't like it, you can refuse it—I don't know why you're saying this about me."

As Feng Xiran spoke, tears poured down like beans, as if she had suffered a tremendous injustice.

Guan Yue expressionlessly threw out a sentence: "I'm kindly reminding you—whether you listen is up to you!"

Guan Yue's words practically said outright that your thing is problematic, and Feng Xiran instantly found herself even more unable to save face.

The twins glanced at Guan Yue, then at Feng Xiran, and finally returned their own small boxes, feeling deep down that something was off about them.

This action made Feng Xiran's face change instantly, but she couldn't lash out; she hated Guan Yue and Su Ruo intensely in her heart.

If it weren't for them, she wouldn't be having such bad luck; all of this is their fault.

Seeing that Su Ruo and the others refused to take them, Sun Yanni immediately snatched all five small gourds, hung them on her person, and they jingled with every step.

She also comforted Feng Xiran, saying: "It's fine if they don't like it; I like it very much, Feng Xiran, thank you for the gift."

Feng Xiran stiffly twitched the corner of her mouth; she had taken a liking to the fortune of Su Ruo, Guan Yue, and the Ji Xiang and Ru Yi sisters, while Sun Yanni's meager fortune was nothing to her—how could she possibly value it, yet she had just wasted five gourds on her, making Feng Xiran seethe inside; she truly didn't know whether Sun Yanni was genuinely stupid or pretending.

Sun Yanni's move left even 001 speechless, and it said: "These gourds and silver money were originally meant to steal people's fortune; your roommate's fortune is already weak, and now she's put on five at once—who knows what misfortune will befall her later."

Su Ruo also had no particular reaction to this; since Guan Yue had already warned that the gourds were problematic, and Sun Yanni still wanted them, that was her own choice—if anything happened later, it wouldn't concern Su Ruo.

001's words were soon proven true; that night, when Sun Yanni went to the bathroom, she accidentally tripped on a step and knocked out two front teeth.

When Sun Yanni returned with her mouth full of blood, even Su Ruo was startled.

Fortunately, Sun Yanni's wound wasn't deep, and the bleeding stopped quickly; however, the two front teeth she knocked out would never grow back.

Sun Yanni wasn't good-looking to begin with, and missing her front teeth made her speech sound airy, looking utterly ridiculous.

Su Ruo and the others had held back for a long time before they managed not to laugh out loud.

Sun Yanni felt terrible, clutching the teeth she had knocked out, and cried all night; the next morning, her eyes were swollen, making her look even more ridiculous.

The next day, when Su Ruo went to the classroom for class, she was told she had been assigned to Yan Jiaoshou's class.

Su Ruo staggered slightly, but she quickly accepted and asked the counselor which classroom she should go to.

The counselor gave Su Ruo a sympathetic glance and said, "I'll take you there; Yan Jiaoshou is strictly severe in name, and to the students he's famous as a Living Yan King—being placed in his class, Su Ruo will surely have a hard time."

But the counselor, recalling the Education Director's words, dared not say more and directly took Su Ruo to the classroom at the end of the hallway.

After Su Ruo announced her arrival and entered, she saw a sixty- or seventy-year-old man with a stern face standing on the podium.

Only a handful of about ten or so people were listening in the classroom, and Su Ruo thought, "There are really few people in this class!"

But reality didn't give her time to think; the old man gestured with his eyes for Su Ruo to sit, then launched into a nonstop lecture.

The old man lectured on profound and obscure medical knowledge; for a beginner, it was needlessly difficult—so hard that one couldn't even understand it by listening.

Yet Su Ruo listened with great interest; although she had been studying medicine through the system during this period, that kind of learning was overly rigid.

But when the old man before her presented this knowledge, it immediately gave Su Ruo a completely different feeling.

The old man not only lectured, he also shared his opinions and experiences, telling Su Ruo and the others how to do better.

Moreover, each time he would accompany the lecture with several representative cases, analyzing in depth the advantages and disadvantages of doing so.

Su Ruo was utterly engrossed in listening, so much so that she didn't even hear the bell.

The old man had originally thought Su Ruo was just there to make up numbers, but seeing her listen so attentively, his eyes involuntarily filled with a few more degrees of relief.

Regardless of whether Su Ruo truly understood, at least her attitude was good; for someone studying medicine, if they can't endure loneliness and can't bear any hardship, they simply cannot learn.

The old man lectured nonstop through the lesson, and Su Ruo listened with utmost concentration, not even knowing when the class would end.

Until the old man said, "Exam: now take out your paper and pen, draw all the plants we learned today, and label their characteristics and medicinal effects."

In the classroom, a chorus of groans instantly rose; everyone said Yan Jiaoshou was strict, famed as the school's Living Yan King, and indeed today proved true—who has an exam on the first day of school?

Only Su Ruo remained calm and composed; the system's eidetic ability granted to her ensured that whatever she heard or saw would never be forgotten.

Therefore, while other students feared the exam, she had no fear!

At that moment, the Education Director stood outside the door, originally intending to watch Su Ruo make a fool of herself—Su Ruo isn't formidable, is she!

So she assigned Su Ruo to the school's strictest, most difficult professor, just to see how arrogant she could still be.

But the Education Director waited outside for a long time and never saw Su Ruo show a frightened, terrified, or panic-stricken expression.

He was sure Su Ruo was just putting on an act; once he handed her the test paper, he would know how capable she really was.

The Education Director had wanted nothing more than to see Su Ruo embarrassed, but this time he was destined to be slapped in the face.
