Chapter 005 Intentional Exploration

Pei Yumeng was shocked by her words, her heart pounding. Could Xia Zhixing have found out something? Impossible! She and Song Zian were always very careful. With Xia Zhixing's naive and straightforward personality, she definitely wouldn't have found out. She was destined to be played around by herself!

In just a moment, she put on a look of grievance. "Zhixing, what are you talking about? Even if Song is great, he's your boyfriend! How could I have such dirty thoughts about my best friend's boyfriend?"

As she said the last sentence, her voice choked up, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Xia Zhixing sneered inwardly. It was a familiar and nauseating sympathy-seeking tactic! But it wasn't the time to confront Pei Yumeng yet. She wanted to slowly play with her, play her to death!

Casually, she laughed, "I was just kidding! Look how scared you got."

Pei Yumeng's suspended heart instantly relaxed. It was her fault for being too anxious just now, for holding Song Zian in such high regard. Xia Zhixing loved him so much, it was normal to feel jealous.

She pretended to be angry and said, "You can't make jokes like that so casually!"

Xia Zhixing smiled, "Let's go! Class is about to start."

She certainly noticed Pei Yumeng's unpredictable face. She had a vague feeling that Pei Yumeng might already be involved with Song Zian, otherwise she wouldn't be so flustered.

Ha! It's getting more and more interesting.

Pei Yumeng was full of suspicion and uncertainty. Why did she feel that today's Xia Zhixing was different from her usual self?

She couldn't help but look at her again, and she happened to see the faint red strawberry on Xia Zhixing's chest. As an experienced person, how could she not understand?

In an instant, a raging fire ignited in her chest. Why? Besides having a good family background, what else did Xia Zhixing have? Why did she get the affection of two such outstanding men?

She clenched her palms tightly, not letting her emotions show, and walked towards the teaching building with Xia Zhixing.

***

Just entered the classroom.

Xia Zhixing heard the surrounding students whispering.

"Isn't that Xia Zhixing? She's actually coming to class?"

"I heard her family's company is about to go bankrupt. She probably ran out of money to squander, right?"

"Keep your voice down! She's still a rich young lady, even if her family is in trouble, she still has Song Zian!"

...

Xia Zhixing calmly listened to the mockery of those girls. Her marriage to Bo Yehan had not been made public, and only Song Zian and Pei Yumeng were aware of it. In her past life, she would have exploded with rage upon hearing these comments, but now, she felt it was unnecessary.

In her past life, she was a spoiled princess, arrogant and disregarding others' feelings, saying whatever she wanted. She had almost no friends, so she cherished Pei Yumeng even more.

Because of her good family background, she was casual about her studies, and even getting into A University was because of the lower score requirement for the arts program.

She arrogantly chose to major in directing, thinking of making money by making movies...

But unfortunately, she was too focused on love in her past life, often skipping classes and foolishly giving up various opportunities to Pei Yumeng. She watched as Pei Yumeng climbed to the top of the entertainment industry step by step, while she remained an unknown rookie director.

She wasted her time and age, not knowing anything, and in the end, she couldn't find a job, let alone make movies!

It was incredibly foolish!

Because she had skipped too many classes before, Xia Zhixing clearly felt that she was falling behind. She marked everything she didn't understand, planning to go to the library to look up the materials after class.

Moreover, she suddenly had a new idea. The path of a director was too distant for her at the moment. While studying directing, she should also focus on acting, and then take back all the good resources she had given to Pei Yumeng in her past life!

In her past life, she climbed to the top of the entertainment industry by stepping on herself and others, didn't she?

This life, she would make sure she never reached the top!
