After Transmigrating into a Novel, I Am in a Relationship with My Scummy Ex-Girlfriend’s Mother - Chapter 7.2

The last bit of illusion shattered. Shen Junfu’s expression was very ugly; she gave a perfunctory answer, only feeling the blood pulsing rapidly in her brain.

“Can you take me back to school first?” Shen Junfu’s mind was now filled with the urge to get back to school, find Huo Qingzhuo, and demand an explanation for what was going on.

Shu Yueqing looked at the disconnected phone and then at the clearly upset Shen Junfu in front. She felt more and more that the minds of these young kids were truly hard to guess. Since she couldn’t guess, she stopped trying and instructed the driver to turn around and send Shen Junfu back to school first.

This time, after getting out of the car, Shen Junfu didn’t even remember to say goodbye to Shu Yueqing. She rushed into the campus as if she were going to fight for her life.

“What happened?” Knowing nothing, Shu Yueqing watched Shen Junfu’s back, shook her head, and gave up on guessing the thoughts of a teenager.

After entering the campus, Shen Junfu went straight to Class 9 of the third year.

Evening self-study was in progress. With no teacher watching, most students were laughing and playing, showing no sign of studying. Shen Junfu walked to the door and, with a bang, kicked it open, startling everyone in the class.

Glancing at the empty desks belonging to her and Huo Qingzhuo, Shen Junfu’s anger rose further. “Where is Huo Qingzhuo?!”

“This… we don’t know. It seems she went to the bathroom.” The discipline monitor answered with a lack of confidence while looking at the furious Shen Junfu.

Having received the answer, Shen Junfu didn’t waste a second, slammed the door, and rushed out again.

“My god, what happened? Why does Shen Junfu look so angry?”

“Aren’t Huo Qingzhuo and Shen Junfu on good terms? I heard that even though they broke up, they stayed very close. This looks like a falling out.”

“It’s only been a short while. I remember they were fine this afternoon.”

…

Due to Shen Junfu’s unusual behavior, speculation immediately began to fly among the classmates, but none of them could possibly guess the truth.

At this time, Huo Qingzhuo was still standing on the rooftop, blowing in the cold wind. Too many things had happened tonight—so many that she was somewhat unwilling to accept them.

“Host, perhaps this is the punishment for your casual interference with the plot. Actually, following the plot is always the safest way.” 007, who also hadn’t expected things to develop this way, couldn’t help but act as a Monday morning quarterback.

“Shut up. Let me be alone for a bit.” Huo Qingzhuo didn’t want to argue with 007 right now.

During the time Huo Qingzhuo was on the rooftop, Shen Junfu had thoroughly checked all the bathrooms on the fourth floor but found nothing.

“Damn it, Huo Qingzhuo, you better not let me catch you!” Standing in the hallway in front of the bathroom, Shen Junfu was shaking with anger. She looked up, intending to curse more, but happened to see a silhouette on the rooftop.

Leaning against the railing and looking closely, Shen Junfu realized it was Huo Qingzhuo, whom she had been searching for.

“You!” Shen Junfu wanted to start shouting from there, but realizing the wind on the rooftop was too strong for her to be heard, she saved her breath and ran straight for the stairs leading to the roof.

“Huo Qingzhuo!” Reaching the rooftop, Shen Junfu looked at Huo Qingzhuo’s back and shouted with clear hostility.

Hearing the voice, Huo Qingzhuo was a bit surprised. When she turned around, she was almost pushed over by Shen Junfu.

“Shen Junfu, what’s wrong with you?” If we were talking about dislike, Huo Qingzhuo found Shen Junfu even more unpleasant to look at right now.

“I’m asking you,” Shen Junfu panted heavily from the run, unsure if it was from fatigue or rage. “Do you or do you not know Shu Yueqing? Was the person you said you liked Shu Yueqing?!”

“Whether I know her is none of your business! Who I like has nothing to do with you either; you have no right to ask!” Huo Qingzhuo’s attitude was even worse. Both were well aware of each other’s answers, and neither could stand the sight of the other.

“I’m warning you, Huo Qingzhuo, stay away from Shu Yueqing from now on. Otherwise, I will definitely not let you off! I’ll kill you sooner or later!” Grabbing Huo Qingzhuo by the collar, Shen Junfu had never been so furious.

But Huo Qingzhuo was equally unyielding. If it came to fighting, although Shen Junfu knew some Taekwondo and Judo for self-defense, her practical experience was far inferior to Huo Qingzhuo’s. After all, Huo Qingzhuo could be considered half a martial arts star in her previous life; even before becoming an actress, she had fought plenty. Her moves were purely from real combat.

Gripping Shen Junfu’s wrist, Huo Qingzhuo easily redirected her force and flipped her, pinning her against the rooftop railing. “Then I’m telling you, it’s impossible.”

“Huo Qingzhuo! You’ve gone mad! Let go of me right now!” Shen Junfu struggled hard but couldn’t break free at all. She had never imagined she would be so pathetic in a fight, having no power to resist under Huo Qingzhuo.

If Huo Qingzhuo were one to obey, she wouldn’t be Huo Qingzhuo. Directly pressing her elbow against Shen Junfu’s back, Huo Qingzhuo lowered her head and replied in Shen Junfu’s ear, “I’m sending your words right back to you: stay away from Shu Yueqing, or I won’t be easy on you either.”

“Huo Qingzhuo!!!”

Shen Junfu had lived a smooth life since childhood. There might have been small bumps, but no one had ever dared to speak to her like this. Yet, Huo Qingzhuo had not only said it but said it arrogantly, all while keeping Shen Junfu pinned to the railing, unable to move a muscle.

“Kid, instead of spending time making threats, go practice your skills more.” Huo Qingzhuo took a deep breath, looked at Shen Junfu’s expression that suggested she wanted to eat her alive, and released her grip.

“Don’t provoke me.” Giving Shen Junfu a cold look, Huo Qingzhuo straightened her clothes and walked slowly down from the rooftop.

“You are not Huo Qingzhuo.” Standing on the roof and clutching her aching shoulder, Shen Junfu watched Huo Qingzhuo’s back and said with absolute certainty, “You are definitely not Huo Qingzhuo. She couldn’t possibly have these skills. Who are you?”

Huo Qingzhuo hadn’t expected the first person to detect her identity to be Shen Junfu. But she was also quite slow; Huo Qingzhuo had been acting so obviously, yet it took her this long to notice.

Huo Qingzhuo didn’t stop her pace and sneered, “What’s it to you?”

Shen Junfu was nearly driven half to death by Huo Qingzhuo’s arrogant attitude. “You just wait, I will definitely make you regret what you did today!”

Huo Qingzhuo didn’t care about Shen Junfu’s shouting behind her. Her mood remained very poor.

She returned to the classroom first, facing the gazes of everyone in the room. Recalling Shen Junfu’s angry charge to the rooftop, it wasn’t hard for Huo Qingzhuo to imagine what was going through their heads. But that had little to do with her.

Huo Qingzhuo nonchalantly pulled out some test papers from her desk and started writing. Aggression was one thing, but as a student, her primary job was to study.

Not long after, Shen Junfu also returned, though her face looked even worse than when she had left. Feeling the scrutiny of the whole class, she suddenly slammed the desk.

“What are you looking at? Is there anything to see?!” The loud noise startled everyone, and they all retracted their gazes, not wanting to provoke her at such a time.

When she was about to sit down, Shen Junfu looked at Huo Qingzhuo next to her, who was focusing on her papers as if nothing had happened. It felt as though a large mass of cotton was clogging her chest.

She couldn’t bring herself to sit there anymore. Shen Junfu walked to the back row and pulled Wei Qingqing up. “Go sit next to that person. This is my seat now.”

Wei Qingqing, once again innocently caught in the crossfire, could only pack a few things and move to Shen Junfu’s seat.

“Huo Qingzhuo, what happened to Shen Junfu?” Wei Qingqing asked softly while sitting next to her.

“Maybe her brain is sick; ignore her.” Huo Qingzhuo’s mood wasn’t much better, especially since every time she closed her eyes, she saw the original host staring at her—it was a form of all-around torture.

Wei Qingqing could tell that Huo Qingzhuo was in a very bad mood. After that one question, she remained silent. The two of them worked on their respective papers, coexisting in a somewhat harmonious manner.

As for Shen Junfu in the back row, things weren’t as peaceful. She had never been one to suppress her temper, and being in a rage now, she was even harder to get along with. The people around her didn’t even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of provoking this “god of plague.” The evening self-study of Class 9 had never been as quiet as it was tonight.

“Huh? Why is the discipline of our evening self-study so good today?” When Wenren Heyu arrived with his textbook, he was almost shocked. He looked around, but no one answered him; they were all bowing their heads as if they were working incredibly hard.

“Alright, alright, those doing test papers, look up for a moment. I have an important matter to announce.” Although it was good for students to love learning, this sudden surge of academic passion left Wenren Heyu somewhat baffled.

One by one, they put down their pens and looked up at Wenren Heyu on the podium.
