After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Eager for a Slap in the Face? Then You’ll Get One (1)

Tang Yiyi is Lu Qianrou’s close bestie.

They say birds of a feather flock together, and indeed Tang Yiyi and Lu Qianrou hit it off nicely.

Ever since their first meeting at the Fu family banquet, she took an instant dislike to Lu Sheng. In class, she always seemed eager to pick a fight, but Lu Sheng never paid her any attention.

Sometimes with an expressionless face, just a few words from Lu Sheng would be enough to deflate Tang Yiyi and leave her frustrated.

But today was different from the usual.

Today You Yi was here, seemingly gentle and patiently instructing with scholarly grace, yet every casual move was a probe, every softened glance an observation.

Seemingly calm on the surface, but never truly abandoning suspicion.

Ever since then, Lu Sheng also appeared to just concentrate on horseback riding, but in reality, she was always on high alert, subtly matching wits and maneuvering with You Yi.

It’s just that no one else could tell.

Usually, Lu Sheng didn’t even want to bother with Tang Yiyi, and in today’s circumstances, she was even less willing to waste her energy on someone like Tang Yiyi.

So when she saw Tang Yiyi come over to provoke, suggesting a showjumping competition, Lu Sheng didn’t want to say another word to her, and her first reaction was to refuse.

She wasn’t someone who cared about how others saw her, nor was she keen on showing off her abilities in front of others.

That was until Tang Yiyi declared that she would put Lingxi up as a wager for the contest. That’s when Lu Sheng suddenly felt a twitch in her brow and looked up at her.

— Lingxi.

She is Flower Demon, naturally close to all plants. Coupled with the original owner’s profound knowledge of herbal medicine, she was even more familiar with medicinal herbs.

Lingxi is a kind of medicinal herb with excellent moisturizing and kidney-enhancing effects, very effective in aiding the recovery and conditioning of asthmatic patients; indeed, it’s not an overstatement that it has miraculous effects.

Moreover, Lingxi, this herb, is extremely rare and can only be found in remote mountainous areas if at all, something that not even money can acquire.

Since that night at THE DEEP when she met Lu Youming, Lu Sheng had been constantly preparing medicinal pills to regulate his body.

Among them, for those pills intended to treat asthma, lacking Lingxi, Lu Sheng had always been substituting an herb with the same functionality but much less effective.

But now, Tang Yiyi had Lingxi in her possession.

If Lingxi could be used in the medicine, the effect of the pills would be much improved compared to the current formula.

Lu Sheng looked up, saw the disdainful look on Tang Yiyi who was lifting her chin, and narrowed her eyes slightly—

So, Tang Yiyi really thinks she’s something, believing that even when challenged in public, she wouldn’t dare to accept the challenge.

She did it on purpose, using Lingxi as the wager.

If she didn’t agree, it would not only prove she was afraid and timid, making her unable to hold her head up in front of so many classmates.

It would also imply that her feelings for Fourth Brother were nothing more than that, only caring about not wanting to do dangerous things, and not willing to take a risk for the sake of Fourth Brother’s health and accept the challenge.

Tang Yiyi was indeed just like Lu Qianrou.

Just a few words spoken effortlessly, looking to gain face by stepping on her while also sowing discord.

Seeing through Tang Yiyi’s little scheme, Lu Sheng’s gaze became cold.

Why would someone beg to be humiliated?

Since Tang Yiyi wanted so much for her to agree, then she would gratify her wish.

Then Lu Sheng raised her head, responding directly to Tang Yiyi who had just spoken those words: "Fine, I’ll compete with you."

Lu Sheng agreed so readily, almost without any hesitation, which actually stunned the cocky Tang Yiyi.
