I, The Female Protagonist With Superpower, Am Super Fierce

Shen Jiayi's eyes turned red, and she didn't say anything. But because she was worried about Gu Yan, she held onto the hem of her clothes.

Shen Nana choked again.

Just then, the staff at the bookstore came over; it was a man in his forties with a square face. He glowered at Shen Nana and said, "Comrade, no clamoring in the bookstore! If you are not going to buy books, then please leave!"

This was a public place after all. Shen Nana cooled down slowly, then she gave Gu Yan and Shen Jiayi one final dirty look and dragged her friend to stand in the checkout line.

On this side, Gu Yan also followed Shen Jiayi to check out.

But the four did not stand together.

Shen Jiayi's eyes were still red, and she murmured, "Gu Yan, I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry, Shen Jiayi. Don't apologize to people all the time. You didn't do anything wrong today." Gu Yan's face was serious. "No, you did do something wrong!"

Shen Jiayi was confused. Did she do something wrong or not?

It was her turn to check out, but she didn't realize until Gu Yan pushed her. She passed the books that she picked to the cashier.

Then, Gu Yan paid for the three books that she picked.

Both of them put their books in their cloth bags. At this moment, Shen Jiayi's expression was still a little bit confused, and Gu Yan found it funny and wanted to explain to her what she meant when she said those contradictory things. Suddenly, she felt a hot sensation coming from her chest.

That was where her jade pendant was.

It was as if Gu Yan was led by something, she walked to where the lockers were.

That was what the bookstore prepared for the customers. Everything was simple at this era; there was no scanner locker, just a simple wooden cabinet that had locks on all the compartments.

So hungry, so hungry…

Strangely, an indescribable feeling of hunger emerged in Gu Yan's mind; this kind of feeling was quite familiar.

But she wasn't sure exactly what it was.

In the end, Gu Yan gently laid her hand on one of the lockers, then a burping sound flashed in the depth of her mind.

It was exactly the same as the time when that ginseng disappeared!

Gu Yan was dumbfounded. What the heck is happening?

She tried it again and touched the other lockers. There weren't any reactions at all!

But then, Gu Yan felt a little lightheaded, almost like she was anemic and dizzy.

At this moment, Shen Jiayi saw Shen Nana and her friend walking towards them and instantly felt a little anxious. She had been bullied by Shen Nana for so many years and had developed a habit of avoiding her whenever she saw her.

Therefore, Shen Jiayi grabbed Gu Yan, who was still touching the lockers one by one, and said, "Gu Yan, let's go."

Gu Yan still didn't understand what just happened, but she also wanted to find somewhere she could be alone and take a good look at the jade pendant. On top of that, she was really dizzy and was not in a good condition.

So when Gu Yan heard Shen Jiayi's words, she didn't think much and nodded, about to follow Shen Jiayi out of the store.

However, they were still half a beat too slow and ran into Shen Nana and her friend.

Shen Nana was tall like an arrogant swan. This time, she glared at Gu Yan and Shen Jiayi coldly but didn't say anything.

Her friend, on the other hand, adulated her, "Nana, I'm sure that you will be picked for the Swan Lake dance. You truly are someone from the courtyard, unlike some people. No matter how they package themselves, they are still ugly ducklings!"

So, no direct disrespect, and only indirect mockery?

Gu Yan turned around and saw Shen Jiayi's face turning a little ghastly.

Tendency to overthink, tendency to split hairs, and tendency to care too much about others' opinions.

That was what Shen Jiayi was like now.

Gu Yan felt helpless, but she didn't want to see Shen Jiayi getting upset like this. She said directly, "Jiayi, did you smell something stinky? Why do some people talk like they are farting?"

"Who are you talking about!" The girl who tried to suck up to Shen Nana became furious immediately.

Gu Yan smiled a little and replied, "I said that some people say nasty words like farts are coming out of their mouths. Why are you talking?"
