Chapter 205

In the dorm, an eerie silence fell out of nowhere.

The three of us exchanged glances, our eyes finally resting collectively on Cordelia.

Seeing the shock etched on their faces, Cordelia didn't mind. She started unpacking her suitcase, organizing her belongings a bit.

"The genius, and no bald spot?"

"Ah, I remember now, the genius who also acted in a play. I haven't seen it myself, but you must be stunning!"

"Hey, do you need a hand with that?"

Cordelia: ??

What's with this weird nickname, 'hey'?

She grimaced slightly, "No need, you must be tired too."

"Not at all!" The three girls stepped forward, eager to help her unpack. "Just touching the genius's textbooks could bring us luck for tomorrow's diagnostic test!"

"Let me touch them too!"
