Chapter 22 - The Lotus Flower, Li Qiuqiu! (1)

The first day of the week has arrived.

Yan Shu reluctantly went to school after her tiring weekend.

"Mo Ran, you have such a handsome driver." Sheng Chen winked at Ling Mo while putting over her arms on Yan Shu's shoulder.

She happened to reach at the same time as Yan Shu and saw Ling Mo who was opening the Dorr for Yan Shu. 

'This kid is dangerous.' Ling Mo was startled by Sheng Chen's wink. As Sheng Chen stared at him with her sharp eyes from head to toe, her hooligan behavior made Ling Mo feel like someone was ripping him off.

"Miss, I shall leave now." Hence, he hurriedly rushed off after informing Yan Shu.

Yan Shu nodded at him then headed towards the school. Well, to her, Sheng Chen's behavior was no more odd now cause she has witnessed it already on her very first day.

Sheng Chen followed her.

"Wait, how come the pretty eyes of my darlings turned into a raccoon's eyes within two days?" Sheng Chen was displeased after glancing at Yan Shu properly.

"Horror movie effects." Yan Shu nonchalantly replied. For her, Darkmagus was no less scarier than the horror movie ghosts.

"You shouldn't have watched it. Look at what you've become. You look so haggard and lost so much weight in just one weekend." Sheng Chen then kept nagging to her till they reached their classroom.

Yan Shu was heading towards her seat in last row but was stopped midway. 

"Wait, did you forget something?" Mei Qian arrogantly stood infront of her with her folded arms.

Yan Shu was in no mood to argue so she went out and entered again through the backdoor and sat down in her seat and dozed off. School was the only excuse she can herself to take a break from those notes.

The whole class was dumbfounded at her conduct.

"Huh! You are lucky that I am in no mood to play today." Mei Qian scoffed and went back to her seat.

'This is huge. Only Mo Ran can humiliate Mei Qian like this.' Everyone in the laughed inwardly.

Yan Shu slept in all the classes. Even during the lunch time she didn't wake up neither anyone bothered to wake her up.

Ren Zhenting didn't know that his deskmate would be more over-sleeper  than him. At least    others knew why he slept while it was opposite for Yan Shu.

Yan Shu woke up just few minutes ahead before the school was about to be over.

She had discussed about taking a month of leave from school with Old Master Su. So she needed to take the allowance slip from her homeroom teacher's office, the only reason she woke up.

After sleeping whole day, she felt more relaxed and energetic than she was in the morning. After eating her lunch, she once again headed to her study room and Locked herself up.

The last two days she shut herself in the study room. At first, Old Master Su and the others thought she might have just found something interesting and taking her time to study it. But when even after a whole day passed and she wasn't out they got scared thinking if she'd collapsed again. There was a slight chaos in the Su Villa that day. Unwillingly she had to come out and eat her dinner and had to head to her bedroom. When everyone thought she went to sleep she sneaked out into the study room again and spent whole night studying. Same happened yesterday and we'll the same thing is scheduled today too.

Another week passed by and she looked more thinner than she was before and the dark circles under her eyes was bigger than it was before.

"Mo Ran, this way you will collapse and your past problems will trigger up too. No need to overwork yourself. What thing did you get into that you don't even have the time to take care of yourself. Nothing matters more than your health." Old Master Su reprimanded her. In the past days he and the others had been trying various ways to make her stop doing whatever she was doing in that stuffy study room but to no avail. Today, she had come down to eat breakfast hence he took the chance to persuade her.

"I am fine, Grandpa. It will be over soon. Nothing will happen." Yan Shu said with a straight face.

"Your excuses won't work today. Get yourself some sleep. Tomorrow we have to go attend your school anniversary program. Principal Liu personally called over and asked for your presence." He paused to look at Yan Shu, if the latter had any changes after hearing it.

When she came to him to help her take leave from school, he thought she might not have adjusted well so she wanted to take a break to clear her mind. Who knew that she took it only to overexhaust herself.

Afraid that she will reject, Old Master Su added, "The other students have already started to have a bad impression of you to the point that they gathered up in the school administrative office to question the school's equal treatment to every students. And now they are also trying to figure out your background. So ,Principal Liu wants you to attend the program and convince others that you took leave cause of health problems and not for fun."

Yan Shu carefully thought over what Old Master Su said. He was actually right. Since the real Su Mo Jiaran had no wish to expose herself, she had no right to do it too as another person. So, she agreed to go over.

Tonight, she didn't stayed in the study table but decided to take a good nap.

Since, the event was at night, she spent her whole day studying then came out just when the day turned dark. 

As she dressed up and came downstairs, Old Master Su was already waiting for her. Today, Old Master Su had glanced himself up as he was one of the main guests of the event.

The grand duo hopped into the bentley and headed to the venue escorted by Ling Mo.
