Chapter 4: Establishing a Drama Queen Persona on the First Day of SchoolThe livestream from "Elite Circle" had begun again.The idle rich kids, dressed in beautiful and expensive uniforms, sat in the bright, spacious, and upscale classroom.Ignoring the teacher lecturing at the podium, they gathered in small groups to watch the livestream that currently held their utmost attention.Today's livestream was titled: "The Annoying Ugly Duckling Falls into a Rundown County Town for Senior Year—Witness the Grand Spectacle of the First Day of School."Today also marked the start of the new term at Kyoto's top elite private school. However, on this first day, these wealthy students from affluent families had no intention of taking their studies seriously.After all, most of them were already preparing to study abroad; staying in school was merely for fun.Even those not going abroad already had their paths arranged by their families.Yet, on the screens of their phones, tablets, and laptops broadcasting the livestream…It seemed like an entirely different world.The walls of the teaching building were mottled, the floors stained with indelible grime, and everyone shown in the footage dressed in what they considered unbearably outdated styles.These plain students wore garishly colored sportswear uniforms—no limited-edition luxury items, no expensive sneakers.Extremely backward conditions.Most of the students in Class 1, Senior Year at Yunshan County High School had already arrived. The balding homeroom teacher entered the classroom to organize their morning self-study session and prepare for the day's lessons.At that moment, Yan Yan appeared, wearing a pure white dress.Her hair cascaded gently over her shoulders in natural, curling waves. Her skin was as fair as porcelain, her phoenix eyes clear and bright, her lips red as flower petals…She was like an otherworldly fairy who had descended to the mortal realm, dazzling and radiant in such an environment."Teacher Li, I'm Yan Yan, the new transfer student to Class 1."The homeroom teacher responded without warmth, "Oh, it's you. Since you're here, find an empty seat and sit down."Because of Yan Yan's arrival, the students in the class stared at her with wide eyes.Her gaze swept indifferently over the classroom, and she instinctively frowned, her eyes clouded with layers of disdain. "Are these the only desks and chairs available?"Her tone carried a matter-of-fact dissatisfaction. "At my previous school, the chairs were all massage chairs, ergonomically designed so that even sitting all morning wouldn't cause back pain or fatigue.""But these…" she said bluntly, "I don't want to sit on them. They'll affect my health."The homeroom teacher set down his lesson plan and looked at her with amusement. "I know you're from a big city, but since you're here, you have to follow the rules here! If you don't want to sit, stand at the back of the classroom during class!"The curious glances directed at Yan Yan now turned peculiar.A chubby boy sitting in the back corner sneered, "No wonder someone starts off looking down on our school the moment they open their mouth. So you're from a big city. If the big city is so great, why didn't you stay there? What are you doing here, flaunting your superiority?"This chubby boy seemed to hold considerable status in the class. With his words, he seemed to set the tone for how the other students would treat Yan Yan going forward.Even with the homeroom teacher present, they held back no longer."If you want to be a little princess, get the hell back to where you came from!""Our senior year Class 1 can't accommodate a big shot like you! If you don't like the seats, just listen to Old Li and stand for class!""Get out, get out!"On the very first day of school, Yan Yuan successfully managed to get the entire class to ostracize her.She thought to herself, what a great start…Meanwhile, back at the elite school in the capital, the young masters and ladies were laughing so hard they could barely sit up in their seats.Mocking comments quickly flooded the chat interface.Yuetong Group's Chou Ziliang: "I'm dying of laughter, hahaha! This girl is as arrogant as ever!"Nongshi Group's Nong Yue: "First time watching the livestream—so this is the troublemaker who offended Lin'er?"Practical Electronics' Wang Chenxi: "Honestly, she's not bad-looking, but her personality is just so annoying. Does she really still think she's the young lady of the capital?"Lin Real Estate's Lin Ru: "Young lady… Without the Yan family, she's nothing. Who gave her the nerve to provoke Yan Lin'er?"Haohai Group's Liu Yuyu: "Lin'er is the legitimate heir. If Yan Yuan gets even 0.1% of the Yan family's assets, she'd be lucky!"The livestream continued. Yan Yuan, of course, saw it—someone in the classroom was secretly filming her with a phone hidden among the books piled on their desk.She ignored it, a cold, faint smile touching the corner of her lips.The next second, she walked straight over to the quiet-looking girl in the middle of the classroom. "Right now, you're the only one I can stand. I'm sitting next to you."The girl didn't know how to refuse and quickly cleared some space. "You… you can sit."The angry fat boy from earlier immediately shouted, "Li Yuanyuan, are you crazy? Don't let her sit with you! Since she looks down on us, let her bring her own chair and desk!""Yeah, yeah! Make her stand for class today—don't go easy on her!"The bald homeroom teacher watched the scene unfold but showed no intention of intervening. Everyone was waiting for the show, ready to see Yan Yuan stand through a whole day of classes.Li Yuanyuan said timidly, "If you really want to sit… it's fine with me."Though she said this with a panicked expression, it still earned Yan Yuan's favor.In Yan Yuan's memories, this person didn't exist—the original owner's personality wouldn't have remembered an ordinary classmate who held no value to her.She tried her best not to sound too arrogant. "Don't worry about it. I have a way."But someone still complained, "Li Yuanyuan, why bother? She doesn't appreciate it at all!"Just as everyone waited for the joke to continue, the doorframe of senior year Class 1 suddenly rattled with a knock.All eyes turned toward the sound.Standing at the doorway was a tall, slender figure. A leather jacket hugged his frame tightly, and his pale, vampire-like face was sharply defined, carrying a hint of mischief.Most of the girls in the class blushed the moment they saw him."It's the owner of that stall by the school gate! I saw him this morning when I arrived!""He's so handsome, oh my god…""I've never seen a man this good-looking…"The girls were shy and curious; the boys were puzzled. Ignoring them, Yan Yuan turned and walked over."Did you bring everything?"Feng Xiao glanced down at her lazily and gave a slow nod. "Everything's here.""Alright, have everything brought in."Yan Wan walked straight up to the podium and, under everyone's astonished gazes, said, "Luckily, I guessed in advance that this school probably wouldn't have any decent facilities, so I placed an order overnight and had supplies shipped from out of town.""All fifty desks and chairs, including mine, come with massage functions. So… are you switching or not?"When it comes to splashing cash, Wanwan is a pro.
