Since the homeroom teacher hadn’t assigned seats yet at the start of the semester, Hua Tong ended up sitting in front of Wen Yan.
Jiang Xianshu was just about to warn Hua Tong not to sit there when Wen Yan stopped him.
Wen Yan had long legs, so no one usually dared to sit in front of him, afraid of bumping into them.
Jiang Xianshu pointed at Hua Tong and asked Wen Yan quietly, ”A-Yan, do you like her?”
Wen Yan openly admitted that he did.
Jiang Xianshu could hardly believe it—A-Yan had actually fallen for a girl at first sight.
He needed a moment to process this information, and then tell someone.
Wen Yan gently poked Hua Tong’s back, wanting to talk to her.
Hua Tong felt it and turned around, only to be hit head-on by a handsome face. She stammered, “Wh-what is it?”
Wen Yan waved his phone at her. “Little sis, add me on WeChat. You can come to me if you need anything.”
After hearing his request, Hua Tong figured adding him on WeChat would indeed be convenient, so she took out her phone and opened her QR code for him to scan.
No. 1 High School wasn’t too strict about students having phones—as long as you didn’t get caught, it was fine.
Wen Yan looked at her profile picture: Hua Tong holding a small flower, smiling at the camera with two little dimples showing. So cute. He screenshotted and saved it.
After saving it, Wen Yan looked up at her. “Oh right, little sis, I don’t know which character is the second one in your name. I need to set your remark.”
Hua Tong said, “The water radical, then the ‘tong’ from ‘child.'”
Wen Yan nodded to show he understood, but his remark for her was A-Hua Baby.
Hua Tong’s remark for him was simply Wen Yan.
When Jiang Xianshu saw the two of them had added each other on WeChat, he hurriedly took out his phone to add her too.
After they all added each other on WeChat—
The homeroom teacher, Gao Xue, walked in.
“Sister Xue, you’ve gotten even prettier,” a boy complimented her with a cheeky grin.
Gao Xue, who had been planning to put on a stern act for the new semester, immediately broke character. She pointed at the boy and scolded, “Yang Fan, don’t think sweet talk will get you out of punishment for not finishing your homework.”
The boy called Yang Fan immediately turned on the charm. “Beautiful and kind-hearted Sister Xue, you assigned way too much homework. There’s no way anyone could finish it all.”
Gao Xue said, “I am a cold-hearted woman. Acting cute won’t work on me.”
“Hahahaha!” The whole class burst out laughing.
Some students said while laughing, “Sister Xue, you’ve been watching too many short dramas over the summer.”
Even Hua Tong laughed out loud. Watching the homeroom teacher get along so well with the students, she found this teaching style rather novel. At her old school, apart from lessons and questions, teachers and students had nothing to say to each other at all.
She really liked this teaching style.
Just as Hua Tong was laughing happily, she happened to make eye contact with the homeroom teacher.
Gao Xue’s eyes lit up. What a pretty girl! So this must be the new transfer student joining their class this semester.
Gao Xue patted the lectern and cleared her throat. “Alright, I have an announcement to make. This semester, a new student has transferred into our class. Everyone, please put your hands together to welcome our new classmate, Hua Tong.”
As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the whole class started clapping, and every gaze turned toward Hua Tong.
With so many eyes staring straight at her, Hua Tong felt like a giant panda in a zoo.
“Alright, let’s invite our new student up to the stage to introduce herself.”
Hua Tong, who had been laughing happily just a moment ago, instantly stopped smiling. She nervously stood up and walked toward the lectern.
Wen Yan watched the little girl whose nervous steps had gone all clumsy, and couldn’t help the corners of his mouth turning up. So cute.
Beside him, Jiang Xianshu watched Wen Yan smiling with his heart all aflutter and groaned—he couldn’t bear to look.
At the podium, Hua Tong looked out at her classmates and took a deep breath. “Hello everyone, my name is Hua Tong. I’m very happy to be your classmate.”
Hearing such a brief introduction, Gao Xue was a little stunned. That’s it?
The girl blinked at her, and Gao Xue’s heart nearly melted. Faced with such a pretty, adorable little girl, she’d agree to anything.
Even her voice involuntarily went soft and sweet. “All right then, Hua Tong, you may go back to your seat!”
Hearing that she could go back, Hua Tong immediately brightened up.
She even said to Gao Xue, “Thank you, Teacher.”
From the back, Jiang Xianshu watched the homeroom teacher talking in that syrupy voice and couldn’t help complaining to Wen Yan, “Sister Xue totally judges by looks!”
Wen Yan narrowed his eyes. “What, you got a problem with that? My Hua Tong is just that pretty—everyone loves her.”
Jiang Xianshu rolled his eyes. His? The girl had probably only remembered his name, that’s all.
