When Chu Tiannan got a clear look at the graceful, ethereal figure walking onto the platform, he murmured inwardly, No way?
A beautiful figure in a yellow dress walked onto the platform, her stunning face making the girls below pale in comparison and driving the boys wild as she wore a polite smile.
"My name is Luo'er. I hope to get along well with everyone over the coming year..."
It had to be said that Luo'er really was an exceptionally refined girl. One glance made it clear that she had been taught aristocratic etiquette. Whether in her gestures or her words, she possessed a distinctive elegance.
Paired with her stunning face, it truly made the entire classroom seem a little duller.
Yet apart from Chu Tiannan and a handful of girls, the other male students in the classroom were all in an uproar-one could even call it madness.
They scrambled to introduce themselves.
"Goddess, my name is Lü Peng. It's a pleasure to meet you. What's your ID number? Can I add you as a friend?"
"Goddess, ignore him. My name is..."
The entire classroom had gone wild. Looking at the girl on the platform, Chu Tiannan silently shook his head.
Beautiful women really do pack a punch.
Just then, a soft cough sounded, and the surrounding voices immediately quieted considerably.
A young man in white slowly walked forward, finally stopping before Luo'er. He elegantly extended his right hand and said,
"Miss Luo'er, I am Luo Ji. Might I invite you to study in the same row as me? I would be most honored!"
His voice was elegant, and his movements carried quite the air of high society. Now that Luo Ji had spoken,
the boys around him who had wanted to strike up a conversation with Luo'er all held back. After all, Luo Ji was too powerful for them to provoke.
Only a beauty like this is worthy of me! As he extended his invitation, Luo Ji did his utmost to display a gentlemanly bearing, because from his very first glimpse of Luo'er when she entered, he had fallen deeply for her.
Hopelessly so!
Putting on quite the gentlemanly act... Chu Tiannan sneered inwardly. So this fellow who retaliated over the slightest grievance actually knew etiquette too?
Faced with Luo Ji's gentlemanly invitation, Luo'er likewise wore a polite smile. Her bright, jewel-like eyes looked around, and, seemingly having found what she cared about, she walked straight past Luo Ji.
Yes! Straight past him!
"This..." The boys who had been about to stir up a fuss realized something was wrong. Especially when Luo'er walked straight past Luo Ji, they were left utterly dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Luo Ji stood frozen in place, his right hand still extended in invitation. The slight trembling of his hand showed just how angry he was.
She... she actually ignored me outright? No matter what, Luo Ji was a senior student with considerable talent. Being ignored like this by Luo'er, his pride naturally turned his face livid.
Let's see who's more attractive than me! Livid though he was, Luo Ji could not lose his temper in front of everyone, particularly when the other party was a girl. He turned around with a cold gaze, which transformed into astonishment the next second.
Luo'er went straight to the back row. More precisely, she walked to Chu Tiannan's side.
"You... you..."
Chu Tiannan had already stood up as well, staring blankly at the stunning girl walking toward him, not knowing what to say.
"What? It's only been a little while, and you already don't recognize me?" Seeing his foolish expression, Luo'er burst into a giggle, instantly lighting up her surroundings and making many of the boys secretly jealous.
Unlike her polite smile, this was a smile from Luo'er's heart.
A smile that bloomed only for the young man before her.
"Why didn't you tell me before coming?" Chu Tiannan rubbed his nose, doing his best not to lose his composure, and said, "I could've gone to meet you."
"I wanted to give you a surprise." Clearly, Luo'er spoke as though meeting a good friend, but her gentle voice made the already jealous boys around them burn with even greater anger.
"Aren't you going to let me sit down?" Looking at the somewhat dazed young man before her, Luo'er's beautiful eyes brimmed with mischief.
"Sit! Sit!" Chu Tiannan hurriedly stepped aside on instinct, and Luo'er showed no reservations either, sitting right beside him. Just like that, the two became deskmates.
Killing intent! Only then did Chu Tiannan react. He cautiously looked around, only to see every boy in the classroom glaring fiercely at him, as though they wanted to swallow him alive.
If looks could kill, Chu Tiannan would have been riddled with holes by now.
Ah, I can't afford to provoke everyone's wrath! Even so, the corner of Chu Tiannan's mouth twitched, and he silently sat down. Recalling what had just happened, he rolled his eyes at Luo'er, somewhat speechless.
This girl did it on purpose!
Seeing what Chu Tiannan meant, Luo'er covered her mouth and chuckled, her large, lively eyes seeming to say,
I did do it on purpose!
"Chu Tiannan..." When Luo Ji saw that Chu Tiannan was actually so close to Luo'er, his hands slowly clenched into fists with creaking sounds as he roared inwardly.
I'm from a wealthy family, yet I can't even measure up to some penniless nobody?
Just you wait. Compete with me, and I'll show you just how ugly your death will be!
Little did Chu Tiannan know that Luo Ji now thoroughly resented him.
The one thing Chu Tiannan did understand, however, was that he had probably become the boys' public enemy-and quite possibly that of every boy in his year!
Ah...
Though inwardly helpless, Chu Tiannan did not mind. To him, such minor difficulties were utterly insignificant compared with life and death. Whoever dared to provoke him,
he would not mind making them thoroughly question their life choices!
