The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Little Master of Curses

Liu Fufeng slickly climbed onto the Floating Car. The speed was so fast that Ji You couldn’t quite catch up, and she couldn’t help but wonder, ”Didn’t you say your legs hurt and you couldn’t walk?”

Liu Fufeng reached out, pretending to rub his leg, a slight sheepish smile on his lips, ”It hurts! But I was afraid you’d change your mind and not give me a lift, so...” So despite the pain, that’s why he climbed up so quickly.

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You curled her lip: ”Little bro, you really are honest, aren’t you?”

Liu Fufeng slightly lowered his gaze, revealing a shallow smile.

Just as Ji You was about to climb aboard, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a mess of scribbles on the floor where Liu Fufeng had been squatting...

Ji You paused, asking, ”What’s this?”

Liu Fufeng’s neck retracted slightly, and he explained somewhat uncomfortably: ”Nothing...it’s nothing.”

Ji You wasn’t short on anything except for an overload of curiosity. She simply squatted down and closely examined the chaotic lines drawn with a stick on the ground. But even after looking, she still couldn’t understand.

She was about to leave when suddenly—

She recognized a few characters. Ji You halted in her tracks, bent over, and followed the writing, reading it out unintentionally, ”You big meanie, I...I draw a...what? Huh? A circle curse on you?”

Boom—

Aboard the Floating Car, Liu Fufeng’s head went blank, his snow-white face instantly turning tomato red.

Ji You looked at Liu Fufeng, clicking her tongue, ”Did you draw this?”

Liu Fufeng bit his lip, ”No.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You didn’t believe it.

She bent over again, preparing to decipher it more closely, then heard Liu Fufeng urging, ”Ahem...Student Ji You, can...can we leave quickly? My leg... It really hurts, I’m so tired...”

Ji You kept her gaze on the ground, muttering, ”Curse you! Curse you! Curse you!”

Liu Fufeng’s whole face was beet red, the blush spread to the roots of his ears, and down his neck.

Ji You gestured for a nearby cleaning robot to come over, signaling it to clean.

The cleaning robot’s electronic eyes took in the scene and immediately expressed disapproval: ”Who vandalized and deliberately damaged the school environment? That’s so uncivilized.”

Ji You patted the robot’s big head and pointed at Liu Fufeng, saying, ”It was this fellow right here.”

Liu Fufeng: ”...”

The robot turned to Liu Fufeng and promptly performed a scan.

Ding—

Robot: ”Student Fufeng, you are hereby given a serious warning. Repeat this offense and points will be deducted.”

Liu Fufeng’s mouth twitched, and from the corner of his eye, he saw that Student Ji You beside him was actually grinning from ear to ear...

Liu Fufeng lowered his gaze, repentant attitude on show, ”Yes... Mr. Robot, I won’t dare again.”

Robot: ”I’ve got you recorded.”

Liu Fufeng: ”...”

Swoosh—

The Floating Car started up, slowly heading toward the dormitory area.

Thinking about how he’d been officially logged by the school’s cleaning system, Liu Fufeng was filled with gloom.

Ji You felt no guilt whatsoever, and instead curiously pressed on, ”Student Fufeng, who were you cursing with that circle?”

Liu Fufeng raised his eyes, his beautiful pupils silently staring at Ji You, mute.

Ji You pressed on: ”Who is it? Just tell me, I just want to laugh.”

Liu Fufeng said: ”Teacher Mu Jianling.”

”Phew—”

”Cough—”

Ji You choked, almost spraying saliva all over Liu Fufeng’s face, her body convulsing as she nearly laughed herself into a fit! Ji You shook her shoulders and with wide eyes said: ”You... You’re not crazy, are you?”

Liu Fufeng: ”...”

Not crazy.

Also—

Liu Fufeng silently added: Don’t worry, next time I’ll draw a circle to curse you.

Ji You coughed violently for a while before finally catching her breath, having nearly choked on the saliva stuck in her windpipe. For a moment, Ji You looked at Liu Fufeng’s face, which was more beautiful and delicate than a girl’s, rather speechlessly, and said, ”Buddy, next time before you tell a joke, could you give me a heads-up? It’s literally killer funny.”

Liu Fufeng pursed his lips.

Ji You gave him a sideways glance and said, ”You actually dare to secretly curse Teacher Mu Jianling. Be careful, I might tell her.”

Liu Fufeng fell silent.

Ji You frowned and said, ”That’s not right. What has the teacher done wrong for you to curse her?”

Liu Fufeng, who had been sulking in silence and saying nothing, suddenly said, ”She punished me by forbidding me from using credit points, leaving me penniless and unable to borrow any points. I had no choice but to walk back to the dorm. My legs hurt so much I couldn’t help but draw little circles...”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You opened her mouth but, being tactful, shut it again.

This guy—

Is he a primary school kid?

Is he even an adult?

How can his thoughts be so childish?

No!

That’s not it!

He must be trying to play the pity card in front of me to borrow points.

No way!

Any scheme to extract money from me is a paper tiger!

After Ji You saw through Liu Fufeng’s ploy in a second, she closed her mouth and did not speak again.

Liu Fufeng stole glances at her and realized she was indeed not saying another word; for a moment, he felt disappointed.

The Floating Car followed the tracks, passing through buildings, through forests, through... and finally arrived at the dormitory area. Unfortunately for Liu Fufeng, he also lived in the self-paying students’ dormitory area, but unlike other students, he lived alone in a villa, which came with a swimming pool, training room, garden... everything was all-encompassing, simply incredible!

Ji You was astonished.

After dropping off Liu Fufeng, Ji You, holding back her curiosity, directly drove away in the Floating Car!

This down-and-out Prince of paupers, better to stay as far away from him as possible.

Ji You didn’t feel the slightest urge to cozy up to him.

After returning to her dormitory and with the rest time arriving, given she had cleared her name and experienced too many emotional ups and downs through the day, Ji You fell asleep in bed as soon as she touched it.

The next day.

After the morning Physical fitness class ended, a crowd ran to the canteen; Ji You managed to grab some natural food and was just about to sit down and eat when Lin Lele suddenly came over and looked at Ji You.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Ji You felt bizarrely scrutinized, to the point her scalp tingled. She lowered her eyes to the piece of meat in her bowl and couldn’t help but swing her elbows out, defensively guarding her plate while righteously stating, ”Lin Lele, I admit you have big eyes, but you shouldn’t stare at my meat. It might give me the wrong impression that you’re trying to steal it.”

Lin Lele: ”...”

Lin Lele’s mouth twitched, not knowing what to do; she glared at Ji You and suddenly took off.

Ji You muttered, ”How strange.”

Lin Lele’s footsteps paused, but she continued to stride away.

Then—

Apart from Lin Lele, quite a few others passed by Ji You’s side with sneaky glances or stopped to stare at Ji You for a few moments.

Again and again, being gawked at as if she were a gorilla, this feeling wasn’t too pleasant.

Ji You furrowed her brows, feeling even the meat in her bowl wasn’t appetizing anymore.

Beside—

Yue Qiyuan said, ”Number 4444, the school just posted an announcement.”

Ji You: ”Huh?”

Shen Changqing said, ”It’s related to you.”

Yue Qiguang said brashly, ”Why say so much? Let this idiot check the official website herself!”

Ji You had a vague guess.
