Chapter 342 – Your family’s plum blossom is lost again (19)
Yan Luo’s pen moved swiftly across the page, effortlessly jotting down answers. It was as if the effort didn’t even register, leaving Feng Tang staring in stunned silence.
Previously, Feng Tang hadn’t interacted much with Yan Luo, nor had Feng Tang paid attention to how Yan Luo solved problems. Feng Tang only knew that despite coming from such a privileged background, Yan Luo never slacked off. Whenever Yan Luo had free time, she was studying. Given her natural talent and dedication, it seemed only logical that she would achieve outstanding results.
But today, after watching Yan Luo solve several complex problems, Feng Tang was truly astonished. Yang Luo barely even used scratch paper—just a brief pause of her pen, and even complicated calculations were completed instantly, let alone the simpler ones.
It was as if she didn’t even need to think, yet every step was laid out so thoroughly and methodically. How was she doing this?
Feng Tang couldn’t help but swallow nervously, watching Yan Luo’s calm profile. If she still couldn’t recognize Yan Luo’s sheer genius, she would have to be a fool.
Having such a gift and still working this hard…
Feng Tang’s family was wealthy. Most students in this class came from affluent backgrounds. Growing up, she had heard her parents talk about how terrifying it was when someone with exceptional talent also had the patience and determination to put in the hard work.
Glancing at her own workbook, which was still half-empty, Feng Tang hesitated. But before the teacher arrived, she finally picked up her pen and attempted to solve a few problems herself.
By the time school ended, rumors had already spread throughout the campus. A beautiful new girl, Wang Shi, had transferred into their class. Unlike Yan Luo, she was approachable and easy to talk to.
She was fair-skinned, long-legged, and undeniably stunning. Compared to her, Yan Luo seemed younger, with a hint of childishness that didn’t quite match the beauty standards that most boys their age admired.
In just one day, Wang Shi had already earned nicknames like ‘The Friendly Goddess’ and ‘The Most Beautiful School Belle.’
Yan Luo naturally heard about it too. She packed her books expressionlessly.
Yan Luo : QAQ *sob sob* “This author is totally betraying me! I want long legs too!“
Little Pink : [Deat Host, you must drink more milk! You’ll get everything you want~ (*￣︶￣)]
Yan Luo : Liar.
Just as she picked up her book, a hand suddenly reached over from behind and took it.
Startled, Yan Luo instinctively followed the hand, taking two steps forward, only to find herself colliding into a familiar embrace.
“What’s wrong? Gone dumb?” Mu Ci raised an eyebrow as the dazed girl stumbled into his arms. But before he could say more, Yan Luo blinked at him, paused, then suddenly smiled.
He wasn’t wearing his school uniform today, just a simple white T-shirt. His delicate collarbones peeked out slightly, lending him an air of lazy allure. He looked like he had just woken up—his eyes carried a sleepy haze, and his dark hair stuck up in messy tufts. A typical bad student, sure, but at this moment, he looked unexpectedly… adorable.
Suppressing a laugh, Yan Luo reached up and tried to smooth down his bedhead with her small, soft hand. Her voice was gentle, carrying a hint of familiarity. “Skipping class again?”
It was still summer, the heat lingering in the air. She wore a short-sleeved school uniform, and her fair, slender arms moved in front of him, brushing through his hair. Her fingertips were slightly cool against his skin, and if he just leaned in a little, he could catch the faint scent of milk clinging to her.
