The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 37: Not Even a Thank You After Using Me?

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Not Even a Thank You After Using Me?
Qiao Qiqi, "..."
"Return it to me." She reached out her fair, delicate hand.
Ning Xiuyuan looked at his little deskmate’s fair, delicate hand, his own hand itching, feeling the urge to scratch it.
"No thanks after using it?" Ning Xiuyuan twirled the phone in his long fingers, his voice tinged with roguishness.
Qiao Qiqi earnestly studied his face. In her past life, she was surrounded by a few thugs, humiliated; those people with malicious intent, thinking that an already ’tainted’ woman could be taken advantage of again.
At her most desperate moment, Ning Xiuyuan walked over from a distance, seemingly just passing by, helping her drive away those thugs.
She didn’t have time to thank him, and the next news she heard about him was his death.
Ning Xiuyuan was very tall, and Qiao Qiqi wasn’t short, but she still had to look up at him, her brow furrowing unconsciously, wondering who exactly had killed Ning Xiuyuan?
"Hey."
"Thank you."
Qiao Qiqi suddenly spoke up to thank him, not for the phone, but for in the past life when he drove away those bad people for her, the thank you she didn’t have time to say.
Ning Xiuyuan, "..."
Being stared at by his little deskmate like that, he felt extremely uncomfortable. Her eyes were really beautiful, though normally they seemed a bit cold, when looked at seriously, it was as if there were fire inside them.
Ning Xiuyuan awkwardly coughed, turning away, the tips of his ears a little red. He quickly removed the doll charm from the phone and handed the phone back to her.
"Compensation." He waved the little doll in his hand.
"Oh, it’s a gift for you." Qiao Qiqi didn’t mind, taking back the phone.
After that, neither of them spoke again, the corridor was quiet, with only two students standing there in an unruly manner.
Qiao Qiqi was puzzled, thinking to herself whether this person was sick? Teachers didn’t dare punish him to stand, so what was he doing standing here?
Admiring the scenery?
...
After school at noon, Lin Tingyu invited Qiao Qiqi to go to the cafeteria for lunch together, but she refused.
Qiao Qiqi packed her things and went to the cafeteria alone.
The classmates passing by all looked at her a few more times. After all, everyone loves something beautiful, and just the sight of Qiao Qiqi’s face could cheer someone up for several days.
The school’s cafeteria was two-tiered, very upscale. Students from ordinary families ate on the first floor, while wealthy students ate on the second floor, where there were premium restaurants with all kinds of dishes.
On the roof of the second floor cafeteria, two boys were peeking around, while a boy at the entrance was readying a phone for recording.
Qiao Qiqi had long noticed all this, but pretended not to and continued walking forward.
"Do it!" Li Kuan whispered into his earpiece. The two boys upstairs, hearing his command, immediately threw a potted cactus downstairs.
Qiao Qiqi just reached the steps as the spiky cactus was about to hit her head.
Not far off, Qiao Yue’er and her clique eagerly watched, waiting for Qiao Qiqi to get her head hit and face pricked!
The thought of such a scene was thrilling.
Qiao Yue’er appeared worried, but inside, she was extremely excited, wishing the pot would smash Qiao Qiqi to death!
Screams arose, Li Kuan was eagerly preparing to film, when Qiao Qiqi suddenly jumped back, her slender, pale leg flying up to kick the cactus, and it shot back towards Li Kuan, who was filming.
