Chapter 1685 - 918: New Student Rumors (Part 2)

Hearing their words, Lu Qiqi was convinced: "You two are really lacking in virtue!"

Cui Yu mocked her: "You’re the only one with such high morals, but how come you’re not as good as Yu Wen?"

Lu Qiqi felt a pain in her chest, truly hurt by the comment.

...

As the applause died down, Shan Qingrong scanned the seating layout of the classroom and made an arrangement: "Gong Jin, you sit behind Ma Shicheng and Wang Longlong for now. When we officially start tomorrow, we’ll arrange the seats again.’

Originally, Gong Jin had been eyeing the empty seat next to Xin Youling. Compared to sitting alone in emptiness, it was evidently more enjoyable to sit next to the girl with the beautiful eyes.

To prevent Gong Jin from being dissatisfied, Shan Qingrong voluntarily explained: "Our class originally had 52 students. Geng Lu asked for leave today but will be here for the official start tomorrow, making it 53. However..."

Here, Shan Qingrong paused for two seconds: "However, there will be another rather special student joining our class tomorrow."

This remark made the students even more enthusiastic.

Yu Wen inquired: "Mr. Shan, is the student male or female? Why the mystery?"

As she spoke, she flaunted her gold necklace around her neck, gold earrings on her ears, gold ring on her finger, and gold bracelet on her wrist. The craftsmanship of the major brand gold jewelry was impressive, and the reflected light even dazzled Shan Qingrong’s eyes.

Shan Qingrong mentally criticized: ’Some students shouldn’t be so vain, what’s the use of wearing all that fake stuff?’

Jiang Yanan also chimed in: "Is it a boy? As handsome as today’s Gong Jin?"

Gong Jin, who was walking to the back row, felt his favorability increase by 1 upon hearing this. He glanced at Jiang Yanan and noted her very fair skin, as well as her delicate lips and nose. The only flaw was that her eyes were slightly small. However, this imperfection made her seem more approachable.

’She would make a good friend,’ Gong Jin concluded, opting not to challenge Jiang Yanan as other new students before him had.

Shan Qingrong did not answer the girls’ questions about the mysterious new student’s appearance.

To prevent any negative sentiments towards the new student hindering the school’s plans, he began by stating: "I believe most students at Fourth Middle School are from Hui Province. In recent years, Yuzhou’s economy has developed rapidly, but education has always been at a mid to low level in the province."

"To improve Yuzhou’s educational quality, the education bureau has imported foreign students. Our Principal Yu personally hosted them, using many favorable policies to keep them here."

Shan Qingrong eloquently continued on the podium.

On the teacher’s desk, Right Protector Dan Xiao used this opportunity to surreptitiously take out his mobile phone, utilizing a blind spot technique to send a message to Lu Qiqi: "Gong Jin’s down jacket is from Moncler, priced over 20,000, rich guy, go bother him quickly.’

Lu Qiqi: "Thanks a lot."

She also sent an 8.88 yuan QQ red envelope.

Lu Qiqi firmly believed in the principle of seizing an early lead.

Noticing Gong Jin had no textbooks, she took out an English textbook, a brand-new exquisite notebook, a fountain pen, a pack of wet wipes, a pack of dry tissues, a Rubik’s cube, a bottle of Wangwang milk, three small packs of pork jerky, and five Big White Rabbit milk candies...

When Gong Jin reached his seat and was about to find a tissue to wipe his desk and chair, Ma Shicheng, sitting in front, said: "No need to wipe, someone already did it for you."

Feeling good, Gong Jin replied: "Oh, they’re quite nice."

At that moment, Cui Yu received Lu Qiqi’s welcome package. Understanding its purpose, he skimmed off one small pack of pork jerky and two Big White Rabbit milk candies before passing the package to Wang Longlong.

Wang Longlong was not lacking in virtue and handed it directly to Gong Jin: "This is from Lu Qiqi in our class."

Gong Jin glanced at it, noting the assortment of items with mild surprise, and saw a card atop the notebook.

He uncovered it to find a message: "Hello new classmate, I’m Lu Qiqi. Our evening self-study lasts long, and Mr. Shan talks a lot. If you get bored, you can use these to pass the time~"

The message ended with an adorable smiling face.

Even someone accustomed to flattery like Gong Jin couldn’t help but feel a slight warmth in his heart, and his sense of superiority tempered: "This class is pretty nice."

Organizing the bits and bobs, Gong Jin asked the student in front of him: "Did Lu Qiqi also clean my desk for me?"

After thinking for a moment, Ma Shicheng replied: "It was Yu Wen who cleaned it, but it was Yang Sheng who asked Yu Wen to do it."

"Yang Sheng?" Gong Jin was not yet familiar with the names of the eighth class students.

Wang Longlong helped him identify: "The one on the right of the podium, Right Protector."

Gong Jin suddenly understood. When he was standing on the podium earlier, he noticed that short-haired girl, with an unrestrained wildness in her appearance that was unusually striking.

This temperament, to someone like him who was born to almost control everything, was like a poison he couldn’t resist.

"Yang Sheng," he muttered to himself, tasting the name, "not a bad name."

Wang Longlong’s biggest patron, Qi Tianheng, had once suffered setbacks because of Yang Sheng, so he advised, "Better not provoke her, Yu Wen already did."

"Oh?" Gong Jin said in surprise, "If she can get others to work for her, she indeed has some ability."

Wang Longlong said, "She not only commands Yu Wen, if you’re willing to pay, you can command Yu Wen too."

Gong Jin frowned, detecting a certain subtext, perhaps something akin to S and M circles.

Indeed, Yang Sheng was a handsome male figure, very popular in those circles.

Gong Jin was slightly displeased and puzzled, "In front of you guys, she orders others around, don’t you all have opinions about that? Can you really stand it?"

These words struck a chord with Ma Shicheng, and he said, "Yeah, some of us stood up to stop her. Even if you have Yu Wen, you can’t just order her around recklessly, humiliating her dignity, treating her like a personal possession!"

"What happened later?"

Ma Shicheng was quite candid: "Later we all became her personal possessions."

...

Dan Qingrong was still speaking: "This time, the international student assigned to our class is from Africa."

Once the background of the international student was revealed, the class erupted in an uproar, the previously calm surface suddenly boiling over.

Dan Qingrong silently watched the agitated scene. Good seedling Gong Jin chose to join Class 8, and Director Yan claimed they couldn’t let him take all the benefits, so they stuffed the African international student into Class 8 as a balance.

"A black international student? Wouldn’t he be really ugly?" Yu Wen sneered disdainfully.

Tang Jing pinched her nose with disgust: "So smelly, smelly! I heard they don’t bathe!"

Jiang Yanan: "Do they speak Chinese? How will they communicate with us normally?"

Cui Yu: "Great, now Class 8 has a class slave!"

Duan Shigang clenched his fists: "I aspire to be the world leader, ruling over all races!"

Hu Jun poked his head, "Did he come on his own? No mother accompanying him?"

Dan Kaiquan couldn’t hold back, moving aside with a face full of speechlessness: "Brother Jun, are you really that hungry?"

Chen Siyu exhorted Bai Yuxia and Xue Yuantong: "You two must protect yourselves well!"

Xue Yuantong snuggled closer to Jiang Ning: "I’m not afraid!"

Jiang Ning glanced at the three girls, having equipped them with Protective Spiritual Objects. Even with improvements, even a direct mortar strike couldn’t break through, and he reinforced them with mana. Whether it’s the Green Jade Ring, or Koi Bracelet, or White Jade Bear, they can’t actually be removed, thus preventing any daily accidents.

Compared to Tongtong, Chen Siyu was more worried about her delicate deskmate: "Yuxia, you should be more careful!"

She glanced at Bai Yuxia’s ears, in the cold winter, her little ears are pointy and tender, incredibly cute.

"Those black people love female elves like you the most!" she said with solemn words.

Bai Yuxia retorted without thinking: "Isn’t it goblins and demons who like female elves the most?"

Chen Siyu was dumbfounded: "Uh?"

After speaking, Bai Yuxia suddenly realized she had misspoken. Her pointy little ears turned beet red.

Jiang Ning pondered for two seconds, then praised: "Bai Yuxia, you’ve improved."
