Chapter 5: Qiao Ning Xi and Leng Shaoming's past

Few minutes had past and finally Qiao Ning Xi has calmed down. Cai Zhenghao and Leng Shaoming wanted to guide her to the cafeteiria but the first bell ring, indicating it's five minutes before the next class.

"It's fine. Let's go to the cafeteria after the second class. Okay?" She said after seeing Leng Shaoming displeased expression. Hearing her Leng Shaoming nodded and smiled brightly at her.

Seeing Leng Shaoming smile, she remembered that in her previous life something happened that changed her previous impression of him being a bully into a naughty boy. Qiao Ning Xi chuckle.

While the two was laughing, Cai Zhenghao was upset looking at the interaction of the two. Cai Zhenghao turn around and walked toward his desk without saying a word. The two was dumbfounded feeling that there was something wrong with him, it felt like he was upset but why.

The teacher walked inside the classroom and both of them sit down in their own chair. Then teacher started his discussion.

During the discussion Qiao Ning Xi asked Leng Shaoming about the previous lessons and the next lessons they might discuss. She was planning to review the lessons she had learn in the past. Also she wanted to improve her comprehension because she knew in this life she could only rely on herself.

After the second class Qiao Ning Xi and Leng Shaoming called Cai Zhenghao and went to the cafeteria. They found a table near the window and sat down.

The cafeteria is located in a separate building. Gracelle Elementary School is popular for it's smart students and wealthy students. The cafeteria has three floors. The first floor are for ordinary students with an ordinary allowance, the foods are ordinary and plain and the environment is normal. The second floor are for richer students, the foods are expensive because it is a middle class and upper class kind of food. The environment are also luxurious, not as luxurious as a hotel but still considered luxurious. While the third floor are for the teachers and school staffs.

"Do you want to go to the second floor? The first floor food is too plain and for the poor. Should we go to the second floor?" Leng Shaoming said while staring at the ordinary design and environment of the first floor full of disgust.

Hearing him, Qiao Ning Xi looked at him and sighed. Since before, Leng Shaoming always looks down on ordinary people, in her past life before she and Leng Shaoming got along. Leng Shaoming looked at her full of disgust because in her school someone spread the story about her being an orphan and seducing guys to earn money. They mocked her for being an orphan and hated her because of the engagement between her and Gui Han was also spread. They defined her as a woman who clings to rich guys and that's why Leng Shaoming had a bad impression of her.

When they were desk mates he pulled pranks on her and everytime those happened Cai Zhenghao helped her. That made Leng Shaoming feel disgusted toward her more but it changed because of an accident.

Qiao Ning Xi was being bullied outside the school, somebody wanted to rape her then take a picture of her. She managed to escape before something happens but those guys were chasing her.

She went to the bridge but she was taken back seeing some gangsters were fighting a student wearing a uniform and that student was Leng Shaoming.

She wanted to turn around but saw that the 4 guys who were planning to rape her caught up. She took the bat on the ground that was used by the guys who were fighting with Leng Shaoming and smashed it to the guys who were planning to catch her.

Someone kicked her stomach and she let go of the bat. Unable to do anything those guys managed to hold her and began to tear her clothes. She screamed while crying and begging. Leng Shaoming heard her scream then looked at her. Seeing her like that Leng Shaoming felt that she was pitiful and maybe she's not bad as he thought.

He ran toward Qiao Ning Xi leaving the gangsters he was fighting with and punched the guy who were groping her. He saw the bat Qiao Ning Xi let go and smashed it to the legs of the 4 guys. The guys cursed and wanted to get up and beat him but wasn't able to. Qiao Ning Xi wanted to thank him but the gangsters who Leng Shaoming fighting with smash something in Leng Shaoming's back. Seeing that he can't beat them, Leng Shaoming pulled Qiao Ning Xi and jump on the river under the bridge.

Leng Shaoming lose conscious after they jump on the river but luckily Qiao Ning Xi was a good swimmer and saved them both. During the times when she was an orphan they usually play or took a bath in a river. When Leng Shaoming woke up, they were in the hospital and he heard what happened through the doctor.

After that, Leng Shaoming and Qiao Ning Xi started to get along and the more Leng Shaoming know and understand Qiao Ning Xi, the more he felt guilty on how he treated her. Ever since they got along, Cai Zhenghao and Leng Shaoming also learned how to get along in front of Qiao Ning Xi but they were still fight when she's not around.

Remembering the past, Qiao Ning Xi smiled which made Leng Shaoming and Cai Zhenghao look at her.

"What's funny? Are you mocking me?!" Leng Shaoming yelled thinking that she was laughing at him. She just shook her head and answered, "Are you looking down at poor people? Does this mean you hate me too?" She looked at him with a wet eyes but was still smiling.

Cai Zhenghao immediately elbow Leng Shaoming and said, "Of course not, we just wanted to treat you since today is your first day. Right?" He looked at Leng Shaoming giving him signals.

Leng Shaoming got what he was saying. "Yeah, Yes, That's right!"

Qiao Ning Xi looked at them with a face asking if it's true. They both nodded. "Well, if you want let's eat here." Cai Zhenghao said then they all agree to eat here in the first floor. Leng Shaoming and Cai Zhenghao waited on the line while Qiao Ning Xi was on the table waiting for them.

Students who saw Leng Shaoming and Cai Zhenghao waiting in line was surprised. They all know both of them came from a wealthy family because Leng Shaoming usually cause trouble and fought with a lot of students. Both of them are also popular. Usually they eat in the second floor and they wouldn't need to wait in line that's why they were surprised and at the same time suspicious.

Cai Zhenghao and Leng Shaoming got their food and Qiao Ning Xi's then both sat on the table with her. Seeing two popular guys sitting with her the girls looked at her with envy but didn't care that much except for the daughters of the wealthy families. Their parents told them to be friend or get along with some students who have a powerful background and Cai Zhenghao and Leng Shaoming were among them.
