Summer casually glanced at her and said, "Well, the final exams are coming up soon. If I keep slacking off like this, I probably won't graduate, right?"
Her tone was light, and the last sentence was even accompanied by a slight self-deprecating humor.
Not only Pei Yumeng, even Xu Cheng, who was sorting through photos, looked up at her.
Summer sighed leisurely, "Actually, the headmaster has talked to me, even called my home, my dad is a person who cares about his reputation..."
She deliberately didn't finish her sentence, leaving room for people to speculate. She had to find a suitable excuse for her changes. If she said she suddenly realized that she wanted to study hard, it would raise more suspicion, especially from someone like Pei Yumeng, who was cunning.
Pei Yumeng's doubts vanished instantly. The Summer family used to be one of the prominent families in Jiangcheng. The most prosperous period was when Mr. Xia was in charge for over a decade. After Mr. Xia passed away, the Summer family clearly declined. However, they still had connections and a solid foundation, no matter how much the Summer family faltered.
Pei Yumeng had no doubt about Mr. Xia feeling embarrassed about his daughter failing every semester, because she had heard some gossip from Liang Zhizhi before.
Although Liang Zhizhi was not from Jiangcheng, her family was extremely wealthy. The upper-class circle was relatively small, so it was inevitable to hear some gossip about the Summer family.
Pei Yumeng then grabbed Summer's hand and said softly, "Today is a public class, let's go together!"
Summer responded with a "okay" and subtly withdrew her hand to pick up her textbook on the table.
From her understanding of Pei Yumeng, she must want to ask about what happened last night on their way to the teaching building. She really is persistent!
After leaving the dormitory building, Pei Yumeng asked in a low voice, "Xingxing, are you really okay? I thought you would be..."
She didn't finish the last two words, but Summer guessed what she meant. She secretly sneered, but kept a calm demeanor, "After all, I'm still a student. I can't stay at home every day."
Her ambiguous words made it difficult for Pei Yumeng to make out their meaning. She then asked, "Did you two have another argument last night?"
Although her tone was full of concern, Summer sensed both probing and schadenfreude in her voice. After all, Pei Yumeng wanted to see her and Bo Yechen completely fall out and be kicked out by the Bo family.
"Nope!"
Summer's tone was light, as if nothing had happened last night. She didn't deceive Pei Yumeng on purpose because she suspected that someone around her might have been secretly informing Bo Yechen. Maybe it was Pei Yumeng, and if she heard what she said and went to Bo Yechen, all her efforts before would be in vain!
Secondly, she deliberately tested Pei Yumeng, wanting to provoke her and make her reveal her true intentions.
Pei Yumeng, in disbelief, stared at her as if she wanted to see something from her face. Perhaps she was too shocked to disguise her emotions.
Summer awkwardly touched her face, "Do I have something on my face?"
Pei Yumeng snapped back to reality and instantly concealed all improper emotions. She smiled casually and said, "No, just that I always heard you say that Bo Yechen is a cold and heartless demon king, so I imagined him to be a terrifying and difficult man to deal with. That's why I was worried you would be bullied by him, especially since Song Xuezhang is so gentle and elegant."
She cleverly chose not to elaborate and changed the subject.
Summer smiled as she looked at her, impressed by her quick reaction.
"Well, let's go! I want to secure a good seat!"
"Sure."
