Chapter 4673 - Qin and Huo’s Additional Story (3)
Just like that, Huo Mian became the talk of the town on her first day.
She didn't talk much. Other than sleeping, she spent most of her time playing with her phone or reading extracurricular books.
None of the girls in her class seemed to like her, but that was normal.
In that era, there were two kinds of people that everyone disliked.
One was the kind of people who were beautiful. If you're more beautiful than everyone else, then you'll have no friends, because no one would want to be compared.
Secondly, if you were good at your studies and better than everyone else, you would be liked by the teachers. Such people would also be isolated by the rest.
Huo Mian was used to this in middle school, so she didn't feel awkward at all.
Instead, she found it quiet.
After school, Zhu Lingling walked over. "Huo Mian, where do you live?"
"Eastern Province."
"Are you taking 289 too?" Zhu Lingling was referring to the bus.
Huo Mian nodded.
"Ha, what a coincidence. Me too… Let's go together."
"Okay."
Huo Mian had no reason to reject this girl's enthusiasm.
That was how Huo Mian got to know her best friend on the first day of school.
In the decades to come, she would still be Zhu Lingling's best friend.
Zhu Lingling's grades were average, but because she was a student with a special talent, she was recruited by Second High.
At that time, she was chosen by an aviation university to be a flight attendant, so she focused on learning English and the rest were secondary.
In Second High School, which was filled with rich people—
Zhu Lingling and Huo Mian, who came from ordinary backgrounds, had a lot of common topics to talk about.
Huo Mian became famous in the first week of being in Class One.
At that time, be it lunch or during class—
Many people from other classes would come to the classroom and watch through the glass.
It was like a zoo exhibit with a giant panda.
Then, everyone discussed heatedly in private.
"Look, that's Huo Mian."
"She looks average. I didn't expect her to be so good at her studies…"
"Yeah, she was the top scholar in the middle school examination. I heard that our principal personally went to her house to invite her. She's practically a goddess."
"She's pretty cute and petite. If she were my girlfriend, would she tutor me for free? Haha…"
There were all sorts of talks going on outside. Whereas, Huo Mian mostly pretended to be an ostrich.
Her face was blank. Sometimes, she would just put on her headphones and ignore all that.
Inside the basketball court.
After a short round, Qin Chu sat down and rested, drenched in sweat.
Gao Ran handed him a bottle of water.
Qin Chu grabbed it and took a big gulp.
Beads of sweat rolled down the tip of his handsome nose, making one want to scream… Unknowingly, he, who was 17 or 18 years old, exuded such alluring hormones.
"Chu, I heard there's a genius in your class?" Gao Ran asked.
"Yes."
"Then won't you always be the second in class, haha…" Gao Ran gloated.
Qin Chu glared at him, and he immediately shut up.
"I think… there's a way to deal with her," Gao Ran said.
Qin Chu remained silent…
"You can chase after her and use a gentle trap to influence her… When she's distracted, you'll be the top student… Haha, isn't that despicable?" Gao Ran was fantasizing.
"How about you chase after her…"
With that, Qin Chu stood up and walked towards the basketball court.
At that time, Gao Ran and Qin Chu didn't know what important role Huo Mian would play in their lives.
