Chapter 339 – Your family’s plum blossom is lost again (16)
After all, this was just how Yan Luo was. Aside from treating Mu Ci differently, she didn’t even bother acknowledging others. In comparison, her attitude here was already considered quite decent.
The conversation continued as Feng Tang, the girl with a cheerful smile leaned closer to Yan Luo. “I heard she’s a really pretty girl. Apparently, she ranked among the top in the province’s previous competitions. No idea why she transferred here, though.”
Yan Luo nodded slightly, tilting her head to glance at her.
Feng Tang was momentarily stunned, watching as Yan Luo blinked innocently, her expression screaming, What does that have to do with me?
Unable to help herself, Feng Tang chuckled.
If Yan Luo weren’t so aloof, Feng Tang would have been tempted to pinch her cheek.
How could someone be this adorable? It was melting Feng Tang’s heart.
“To be honest, I think if you joined the competition, you’d definitely be even better than her. Besides, someone as cute and pretty as you is way more likable,” Feng Tang said, probably the most straightforward thing she had ever told Yan Luo since they became seatmates.
Feng Tang then clearly saw the so-called cold and distant ‘ice queen’ blink her big eyes at Feng Tang, looking slightly dazed before her face gradually turned pink.
As if she was shy from the compliment…
Feng Tang also blinked, finding it hard to believe. She leaned in a little, and only when Yan Luo turned her face away did she grin as if she had made a new discovery.
—Just two sentences, and she’s already blushing? Is she really this cute?
Just then, the class bell rang, the door to the classroom swung open, and the room erupted in a low buzz.
Yan Luo finally lifted her gaze. Their homeroom teacher had entered, leading a girl in a school uniform.
The girl was tall, fair-skinned, and undeniably beautiful—completely different from Yan Luo.
Her lips carried a perfect, practiced smile as she looked around the class. When her eyes landed on Yan Luo, there was a brief pause.
There was a certain arrogance in her gaze that made Yan Luo uncomfortable, causing her to frown slightly.
Then, the teacher spoke from the podium. “This is our new transfer student, Wang Shi. She ranked among the top in the province in both math and physics competitions. Now that she’s joined our class, I hope everyone can learn from her.”
Teachers always had a soft spot for top students, and it was obvious that this Wang Shi had thoroughly impressed their homeroom teacher.
After a confident self-introduction, Wang Shi scanned the classroom. The only available seats were in a corner or the one directly in front of Mu Ci.
Yan Luo noticed Wang Shi’s eyes light up. The moment Wang Shi looked at Mu Ci, a peculiar glint flashed in her gaze, like someone who had just successfully executed a plan.
Yan Luo frowned.
“Little Pink, do you have any info on this Wang Shi? She seems… off to me.”
There was no overt hostility, but there was definitely something unusual about her. And toward Mu Ci, she was blatantly trying to get close.
Yan Luo was certain, she had never seen this Wang Shi before.
So what was going on?
[Dear Host, I can’t find any information on her either.]
Hearing Little Pink’s response, Yan Luo furrowed her brows even more.
Then, Wang Shi spoke up. “Teacher, can I sit over there?”
Her slender, fair fingers pointed directly at the seat in front of Mu Ci, her voice crisp and clear.
“Luoluo,” even Feng Tang, who was beside Yan Luo, frowned and leaned over to whisper, “Why do I feel like she’s targeting your little childhood sweetheart?”
