Chapter 798
Christina’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
She got teased again.
It was thest term of her high school studies, and she needed to work hard to get good grades to get
into her dream university. She had nned to quit her part-time job at the bubble tea shop at the end of
this month. The proprietress seemed to be reluctant to let her leave. To pay back the proprietress’
kindness, Christina volunteered to spend more time at the bubble tea shop to help clean up. Recently,
she had brought arge stack of exam papers and textbooks to the bubble tea shop and had been
studying there.
One of the books was borrowed from the library. Today, Christina went to the library to return it.
However, she was greatly humiliated. In the spacious library lobby, the administrator’s furious roar
echoed, “What’s going on? You stuck a female sanitary napkin on our book!” The sound was like a loud
bell, and almost everyone in the library looked at her instantly.
Even though Christina was thick-skinned, she could not help but blush and feel ashamed.
The first page of this thick history book had a female sanitary napkin stuck on it.
“I don’t know about it.”
Christina’s voice was as soft as the sound of a mosquito.
“This history book is colored and was published in limited quantities. There are only three copies in the
whole school. You stuck a sanitary napkin to the page introducing the imperial seal. What are you
thinking? Is that how you want to be famous? Why didn’t you stick a used sanitary napkin instead? I’m
sure you will be more famous if you have done that!”
The middle-aged female administrator seemed to have held grudge against Christina for a long time.
From her perspective, every time Christina came to the library, there was always a group of boys
following behind. The books were always in a mess after the boys left and they were very noisy. All of
them were not here for reading. On one asion, they even pushed down the shelves and rows of
books fell to the ground, causing her lots of time to tidy up.
Christina could not exin, so she lowered her head and stood at the counter, listening to the scolding.
She gritted her teeth in hatred. Recently, she had taken all the books to the bubble shop to review.
During this time, Chad’s childhood sweetheart, Candice, had been pestering her. Candice had
deliberately been to the bubble tea shop many times to disgust her. Although she had not seen it with
her own eyes, Christina’s intuition told her that Candice was guilty of it.
If this could be tolerated, what could not?
That ignorant girl really regarded her as a pushover.
Christina was scolded by the library administrator for more than 10 minutes before she was allowed to
leave. She then left with a long face.
Originally, she was super furious when she got out of the library and her mind was full of thoughts
about how to confront Candice. Yet, as Christina turned the corner and was about to buy some
textbooks at the school newsstand, she found that she had lost her wallet, which was ced in her
pocket.
“Hey, do you still want these three textbooks?”
The school’s newsstand was outsourced to booksellers, who always valued time and money. Thus,
Christina was despised since she could not pay the bill right away.
Christina’s face was extremely pale. She was thinking about where and when she might have lost her
wallet since she remembered that her wallet was still inside her pocket when she entered the library.
Christina regarded herself as a poor person. She had been keeping her wallet carefully for the past few
years. She would rather have herself injured than lose her wallet. How could she be so unlucky!
“Please keep these three textbooks for me. I’ll go back and get some money now.”
The point was that Crystal was the one who wanted these textbooks and had asked her to help buy
them. And this series was easily out of stock. Christina had no time toment though she had lost her
wallet. Now she had to rush back to the dormitory to get some money. It would be troublesome if this
snobbish bookseller sold the books to someone else.

“Hurry up. These books are very popr. I’ll keep them for you for half a day at most…”
Just as the bookseller spoke, a soft and sweet voice sounded in the corner, “Hi, I can buy these three
books
now.”
Christina suddenly turned her head and saw Candice, surprised and furious.
“I don’t need you to give discounts for these books. I’ll buy them at the original price. I’m in a hurry to
use them.” Generally speaking, the books in the school newsstand were sold to students at a discount,
and textbooks like these were usually sold at a 20% discount of their original prices.
The bookseller was naturally happy to hear that. Of course, no one would not be willing to get more
money.
“You’re in grade ten. Why do you want the textbooks for the grade twelves?” Christina was extremely
angry now.
Christina didn’t expect this to happen. During the previous years of her high school, although she
encountered many troubles, in general, she had been doing well and was satisfied with her high school
life. She didn’t expect that she met Candice, who made her suffer lots of setbacks in thest term of
her high school life.
Candice was a little pretty. She liked to wear Japanese-style makeup and most people’s first
impression of her was that she was such a harmless and cute girl. Moreover, her voice was soft and
she spoke very slowly. Thus, she looked very docile in many others’ eyes.
“Chad is also a grade ten, but he will take the SAT this year. Then why can’t I get the textbooks for
grade 12 in advance? Besides, I’ve already finished all the courses in the high school curriculum.” Her
voice was soft and she said naturally
Indeed, there was no rule that a grade 10 could not buy grade 12 textbooks.
“If you are capable, why don’t you also take the SAT this year?” Christina was very disdainful. “By the
time you take the SAT, these textbooks would have been out of date. Something must be wrong with
you!”
“Christina, you’re so beautiful. Why are you so rude?” Candice deliberately said in a soft voice.
Christina was so disgusted by Candice’s voice that she got goosebumps. She couldn’t stand it
anymore, “Candice, I can see you everywhere I go. You are so annoying. Don’t think I don’t know what
you’ve done. I knew you purposely bought these three books to turn against me!”
The newsstand was only about 10 square meters. When the bookseller saw the two girls quarreling, he
just wanted to settle the matter quickly. No matter what their grudges were, he didn’t care. So he
quickly helped Candice pay the bill for the books and kicked them out.
“You said you would keep them for me for half a day.” Christina was unhappy that the bookseller went
back on his words.
“Christina, I know you’re from a poor family, but if you don’t have money, you shouldn’t havee over
and hindered the bookseller from doing business. This is not right. But since you have a beautiful face,
you can ask if
is willing to give you special treatments.” Candice’s tone was soft but cynical.
The bookseller interjected, “Beautiful face means nothing to me. You guys go out quickly and don’t
stand in the
way.”
“Oh no, I’m sorry but your beautiful face seems to be useless. There are a lot of beautiful women in this
world, so don’t take yourself too seriously. It’s so embarrassing that you can’t even afford to buy three
textbooks.”
Candice pushed the ss door and walked out, apanied by her sarcastic words.
Since Christina was known for her beauty in all the high schools nearby, Candice deliberately attacked
her on this point, trying to belittle her strength and make her lose confidence.
Just as Candice turned aroundcently and walked out of the newsstand, Christina saw a familiar
aqua blue object in Candice’s open white backpack.
Christina’s wallet was in aqua-blue.
