Transfer Student on the First Day of Term

Transfer Student on the First Day of Term

The first day of senior year of high school.

Up on the podium, head teacher Teacher Wang looked out at the familiar faces and said expressionlessly,

"We will have a transfer student joining the class, and I hope everyone can get along well with this new classmate."

With that, he waved toward the doorway.

A girl walked slowly into the classroom with her head lowered.

Everyone instantly fixed their gaze on her.

Her hair was a complete mess, looking as though she had not styled it after waking up, and she wore thick, square, black-framed glasses with many freckles on both sides of her cheeks.

In this blazing summer heat, everyone else wore thin short sleeves, but as for her, not only was she wearing long sleeves, she even had a large jacket layered over top.

If a full score for appearance was a ten, she could score at most a three point five.

Teacher Wang said, "Introduce yourself."

The girl hesitated for a few seconds, then said timidly, "Hello everyone, my name is Gu Lianyin, I just turned eighteen, and I like reading books, playing games, and singing."

Once she finished speaking, Teacher Wang led the applause, and everyone followed suit, welcoming the new classmate.

Next, Teacher Wang began arranging the seating.

"Zhang Yong, you're at a desk with Zheng Yarou."

"Wang Tianhao, Chu Yu at a desk."

"Shen Mingjie, you're at a desk with Gu Lianyin."

Just as Teacher Wang was about to continue reading, a complaining voice rang out from the classroom.

"Teacher, I don't want to share a desk with her!"

"Shen Mingjie, what is wrong with you, you're always the one with the most issues!"

Teacher Wang's gaze landed toward the back of the classroom.

A tall, thin boy stood up and said nonchalantly, "She's so ugly, I definitely don't want to squeeze into a desk with her."

He had no self-awareness whatsoever regarding how much harm his words caused to others.

Gu Lianyin lowered her head, her two hands hidden inside her sleeves clenched into fists.

Who knew what she was thinking.

"Then go share a desk with Dai Shengping!"

Teacher Wang proceeded to rearrange the seating for Gu Lianyin.

Except that wherever his gaze fell, all the boys lowered their heads.

It seemed none of them wanted to share a desk with this new classmate.

At the second-to-last desk in the back row, Lin Yuan looked at her lowered head and felt a trace of sympathy.

When he had just started middle school, because he was often out in the sun, he was very dark, and his classmates teasingly nicknamed him Blackie.

This title accompanied him until the end of middle school.

Even when his skin lightened back up by the third year of middle school and he grew somewhat handsome, with a few girls even passing him love letters.

It remained just the same.

Careless words hurt the most.

Lin Yuan did not want to see anyone else experience the same ordeal he had.

Therefore, he prepared to stand up and propose the idea to Teacher Wang of sharing a desk with this classmate Gu Lianyin.

[Life Reversal System binding successful!]

[Host's current situation detected, please begin your choice!]

Choice 1: Stand by and watch, pretending not to see, reward 100,000 yuan.

Choice 2: Take the initiative to propose sharing a desk with Gu Lianyin, and successfully become desk mates with her, reward Never-Forget Skill.

Lin Yuan, who had just risen halfway, suddenly froze!

Damn it, a system!

He had somehow inexplicably ended up with a system!

"Lin Yuan, do you need something?"

Seeing Lin Yuan stand up from his desk, Teacher Wang cast an inquiring gaze his way.

"Uh... I..."

Lin Yuan snapped back to his senses, his mind rapidly scanning the two choices provided by the system.

As long as he did nothing and did not share a desk with Gu Lianyin, he could obtain a reward of 100,000.

You had to know, this was a huge sum of money!

For him, whose family background had not been very good since childhood, he could improve his life.

The second choice was to take the initiative to ask to share a desk with Gu Lianyin, which would grant the ability of photographic memory.

Although it was not a material reward, this ability would bring unexpected surprises not only in studies, but even in other aspects.

Faced with the two choices, Lin Yuan did not have any hesitation or difficulty in choosing.

The reason he stood up was precisely to propose to the teacher about sharing a desk with Gu Lianyin.

Even with the appearance of the system and facing the temptation of one hundred thousand, it could not change his mind.

"Teacher, if student Gu is willing, I can share a desk with her."

As soon as these words came out, Teacher Wang instantly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was terribly afraid that Lin Yuan would go back on his word, and hurriedly said, "Good, then the two of you can share a desk."

Gu Lianyin looked toward that boy.

He was quite tall and also looked rather handsome; the teacher seemed to have just called him... Lin Yuan, right?

She lowered her head and walked down the podium, heading toward him.

Lin Yuan very gentlemanly helped her wipe the chair and invited this new deskmate to sit down.

"Thank you, my name is Gu Lianyin."

"My name is Lin Yuan. Student Gu, from now on we're desk-mates, let's get along well!"

"Mhm."

While Teacher Wang continued to arrange the seating for the others, several gazes gathered over.

"What is this guy Lin Yuan thinking? Taking such an ugly person as a desk-mate, doesn't he feel grossed out?"

"Exactly, exactly. If it were me, I'd rather share a desk with Qiu Yue."

In the classroom, a slightly plump girl with a not-very-good-looking figure cast a cold glance toward the speakers. She was Qiu Yue.

At this moment, the sound of the system reached Lin Yuan's mind.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the choice and obtaining the Never-Forget Skill!]

Lin Yuan suddenly felt a cool sensation in his eyes, and when he looked at things again, they felt somewhat different.

During this period, Teacher Wang had the students in the front rows distribute new textbooks.

Lin Yuan flipped open a math book.

He discovered that as long as it was content he had looked at, it would be branded into his brain and could simply not be forgotten.

Lin Yuan's heart was very excited. Next, his grades were definitely going to shoot up like a rocket.

"Alright, everyone go back and prepare. Tomorrow school officially starts, and I hope you can study hard and strive for good results in the college entrance examination!"

When the head teacher finished the class meeting, Lin Yuan and Gu Lianyin left the classroom together.

He was very curious as to why the system would issue such a choice.

Aren't you the Life Reversal System?

Making me propose to share a desk with Gu Lianyin, does this even count as a reversal?

Could it be that she is actually a rich second generation?

If this is a counter-attacked life, I'd rather not have it!

"Student Lin Yuan, why did you propose to the teacher to share a desk with me? I don't even look good."

Gu Lianyin suddenly asked.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "What, can't I share a desk with you? Does it require you to look good for that to work?"

His remark directly choked Gu Lianyin into silence.

"Thank you." In the end, she squeezed out these three words from her mouth, her voice as quiet as a mosquito's hum.

Lin Yuan acted as if he hadn't heard.

Gu Lianyin lived off-campus, and the two parted ways halfway.

Gu Lianyin walked for a stretch, entering a building a few hundred meters away from the school where a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment had just been rented.

Returning to her room, she took off her glasses.

She used makeup remover to wash off the cosmetics on her face, and the freckles on her face were gently wiped away.

She took off that oversized coat.

A moment later, what was revealed in front of the mirror was a girl so pretty she left people feeling astonished!
