Was Lin Yan handsome?
Absolutely handsome!
Bei Bei was already quite good-looking, but compared to Lin Yan, he still fell short by three points. Even Zhang Lexuan acknowledged this fact.
Thus, the moment Lin Yan stepped into the freshman Class Two classroom, he became the focus of countless gazes within just a few breaths.
Especially the girls'.
Young people on Douluo Continent matured early to begin with.
Most of the freshmen present were between ten and twelve years old, an age when they had just begun to develop feelings of youthful attraction.
With looks as handsome as Lin Yan's, he naturally held immense appeal for these inexperienced little girls.
Lin Yan entered the classroom and swept his gaze around.
The freshman classroom was rather spacious. Even though Class Two currently had nearly a hundred freshmen, it did not feel crowded in the slightest.
Lin Yan paid no attention to those gazes. He found an empty seat for himself and sat down, quietly waiting for class to begin.
Meanwhile, Jiang Nannan's gaze slowly moved along with Lin Yan.
Xia Yuan, who had been ignored as though he were air, could not help frowning as he asked again, "Classmate, may I sit in the seat beside you?"
"If you want to sit there, then sit."
Hearing Jiang Nannan's answer, Xia Yuan's face brightened with delight.
However, just as he was about to sit down, Jiang Nannan gathered her things, stood up, and left her seat, walking toward the other side of the room.
"This—"
Left standing there alone, Xia Yuan was instantly dumbfounded.
At the same time, Jiang Nannan had already arrived before Lin Yan's seat.
"Jiang Nannan, it's you."
Looking at the lovely figure that had suddenly appeared before him, Lin Yan wore a gentle, polite smile.
He was not surprised by Jiang Nannan's appearance. When the class assignment lists had come out, he had seen her name on Class Two's freshman roster.
"Big Brother Lin Yan, may I sit here?"
Jiang Nannan blinked and asked.
Lin Yan glanced at Jiang Nannan and casually replied, "Of course. Please sit."
Jiang Nannan sat down in the empty seat beside Lin Yan.
On the other side, Xia Yuan, who had witnessed this scene with his own eyes, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot. It felt as though someone had ruthlessly stomped on his handsome face, leaving him utterly humiliated.
Jiang Nannan's arrival did not change anything. Lin Yan still sat quietly in his seat.
As he waited for class to begin, a sudden wave of hunger struck him. He had been so focused on training that morning that he had not even had time for breakfast.
Lin Yan took several pieces of jerky made from Soul Beast meat out of his storage ring and began chewing on them.
"Big Brother Lin Yan, didn't you eat breakfast this morning?" Jiang Nannan asked curiously as she looked at him.
"No. I was busy training and forgot the time," Lin Yan explained.
To replenish what he expended during training, he kept quite a bit of jerky made from Soul Beast meat in his storage ring.
This jerky differed from ordinary animal jerky in that it contained abundant energy.
However, it also had one drawback: it was extremely dry, hard, and tough. Especially after being made into jerky, anyone without strong teeth would likely be unable to enjoy it.
Even Lin Yan could easily choke on it if he was not careful.
"This is fruit juice I brewed myself. Would you like to try some?"
Seeing Lin Yan choke, Jiang Nannan immediately handed him a water flask.
Lin Yan took the flask and, without thinking, gulped down several mouthfuls. He felt a sweet liquid carrying the fragrance of fruit spread through his mouth.
At the same time, Jiang Nannan's hand, which had been reaching for a cup, suddenly froze in midair. Looking at the mouth of the flask that had intimately touched Lin Yan's lips, a captivating blush rapidly spread across her fair, tender cheeks. In the blink of an eye, even the tips of her ears had turned red.
"This fruit juice tastes quite good."
Lin Yan let out a long breath and looked toward Jiang Nannan, immediately noticing the odd expression on her face. He looked at the mouth of the flask, thought for a moment, and understood what had happened.
"Sorry, I was too presumptuous."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Lin Yan's face. Did that count as an indirect kiss?
With that thought in mind, he hurriedly handed the flask back to her.
"It's fine!"
Jiang Nannan took the flask, lowering her head shyly. Though she said it was fine, judging from her appearance, she clearly was not fine at all.
Just then, the class bell suddenly rang, and a slender figure entered the classroom almost immediately after it.
The newcomer was a woman who appeared to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.
Her bright black hair was coiled up behind her head. She stood around one meter seventy tall, with exquisite, beautiful features and a pair of delicate crystal-framed glasses perched on her straight nose.
After entering the classroom, she walked straight to the podium. Her jade-like fingers adjusted her glasses as her long, alluring phoenix eyes swept across the students. Without needing to say much, the classroom instantly fell silent, and every gaze turned toward her.
As he studied her, surprise flashed through Lin Yan's eyes. He had not expected his homeroom teacher to be such a breathtaking beauty brimming with mature, intellectual charm.
By comparison, Huo Yuhao, the favored son of this era, was far more unfortunate. He had run into a freak like Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi.
I wonder how she is doing!
During that test, he had casually struck her in the chest with his staff, leaving it a bloody, mangled mess. He did not know whether it had healed yet.
If it had not healed properly and left lasting effects—one large and one small, or perhaps unevenly shaped—Zhou Yi would definitely hate him to the bone!
Thinking of this, Lin Yan could not help taking a deep breath. It seemed he would have to be careful of Zhou Yi and Fan Yu in the future. He absolutely could not give them a chance to take revenge on him!
Lin Yan came back to his senses, only to find Jiang Nannan staring at him with her big blinking eyes.
"Is the teacher really that pretty? You were staring so hard that you zoned out," Jiang Nannan said.
Hearing this, Lin Yan shook his head and explained, "I wasn't staring at the teacher. I was just thinking about something. Besides, the teacher really is beautiful."
Jiang Nannan glanced at the podium and said stubbornly, "When I grow up, I'll definitely be prettier than her..."
Lin Yan gave Jiang Nannan a strange look.
As the two spoke, a pleasant voice suddenly came from the podium.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yan Hongyu, and I will serve as your homeroom teacher during the next three months of the freshman period. I hope we can get along happily and spend these three months together. Is that all right?"
As Yan Hongyu's gentle, delicate voice fell, a chorus of "All right!" immediately rose from below the podium.
People with outstanding appearances possessed an innate advantage in social interactions. If you were good-looking, it was naturally easier to make others like you.
Just like Yan Hongyu at this moment.
Because of her beautiful appearance, every freshman in the classroom, male and female alike, behaved exceptionally well. They all hoped to leave a good impression on this beautiful, charming teacher.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yan Hongyu nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Very good. Then our first class of the freshman period officially begins now."
"Before we formally begin, let's have a sparring competition for the entire class. Let your teacher see each of your strengths, and we can also use this opportunity to choose a class monitor. What do you think?"
"Good!"
Everyone responded together once more.
Several of them answered especially loudly, including Xia Yuan, who had wanted to sit beside Jiang Nannan earlier. As he responded, he glanced at Lin Yan sitting with Jiang Nannan, and an intense fighting spirit suddenly burst from his eyes!
