Loid put on his clothes and then pulled Lily into his embrace. Leaning in close to her ear, he said, “Thanks. “His voice was sultry.
Lily pushed him away with a dry smile. “Don’t take advantage of me, Loid.”
Loid didn’t know what to say to that. He felt a headache coming on.
That Friday, while Lily was at school, many people were arguing about the selection of the school beauty queen on the school forum.
Most students were in support of Lily. They thought that she was not only pretty but also had a sense of justice. Just for her courage in standing up to Jack, she deserved to be named beauty queen.
The rest of the students supported Shannon. She was from a good family, had a pretty face, and was a straight–A student. She was also elegant and generous.
While Lily was also pretty, they thought that she was not only bad at studies but also always got into fights. To them, she did not deserve the title of beauty queen.
When Anya saw those comments on the forum, she turned off her phone in anger. For her, Lily was the undisputed beauty queen.
Lily noticed her displeasure when she came into the class. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
She slung her bag over the back of her chair as she glanced sideways at Anya. “What’s wrong with you?” “It’s nothing. I was just reading the comments about the beauty queen selection on the forum. Our class thinks it should be you, but most of the other students support Shannon,” Anya said sulkily.
“That’s it?” Lily gave her a look before taking a book out of her bag.
It was an ancient medical tome, written in an ancient language.
Anya glanced at the book, but she did not know what kind of book it was, so she looked away again.
Lily had always been strange. She was always reading books in strange languages that no one else could understand. Anya was used to it by now.
“Are you not angry?” she asked curiously.
After spending so much time with Lily over the past few days, Anya had come to know her better. Lily had a hot temper. If anyone offended her, she preferred to get physical rather than talk it out.
However, she seemed unbothered this time.
“Why would I get angry?” Lily flipped to the middle of her book as she answered Anya casually.
She was currently researching a new acupuncture technique that could elevate her medical skills to another level.
“They’re saying that you’re hot–tempered and a bad student. Shouldn’t you get offended by that?” Anya was starting to feel like she didn’t understand Lily at all
Lily smirked. “I am hot–tempered and a bad student.”
Defeated, Anya stopped questioning her. Then, she suddenly thought of something and took out a drawing from her bag.
“Poppy Graham from Glass 1 asked me to give this to you.”
It was a cartoonish drawing of a woman in a cap and a pair of large headphones. She had her hands in her pockets as she leaned against a tree. Her fringe was slightly parted by an unseen breeze. She looked cool.
Lily smiled when she saw the drawing. So bright and happy was her smile that Anya was dazed when she saw it. She’d seen Lily smile before, but her smiles were typically faint and cold.
This time, however, her smile was sincere. There was no trace of coldness at all.
Anya watched as she put the drawing into her bag. Her movements were gentle as if the drawing was some precious treasure.
“Do you know Poppy?” Anya asked dazedly after a moment.
“Yeah.” Lily seemed to be in a good mood. Her tone was lilting.
Anya fell deep in thought for a moment, biting her lower lip in worry. She grabbed Lily’s arm anxiously but let go again quickly without saying anything.
Lily looked down at her hand. “What’s the matter?”
“It’s… nothing.” Anya’s smile looked forced.
Lily closed her book and looked at her earnestly. “Is someone making trouble for you?”
“No, not me,” Anya said hurriedly. She lowered her head back down to stare at her book. Lily narrowed her eyes. She did not press further.
