Chapter 263: Chapter 263 Sitting in the First Row
The four school beauties of Wanghai Noble School: Beiming Xue, Ouyang Feiting, and the third one is this Tang Jingyi.
Although Tang Jingyi is mentioned alongside Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting, she is completely different from the two of them.
Not only different from the two, but also vastly different from other students at Wanghai Noble School.
All students who can enter Wanghai Noble School come from wealthy and influential families. Even those like Ma Jun and Roy, who claim to be poor in front of Beiming Xue, are actually quite wealthy. It’s just that compared to the Four Great Clans, they are slightly less rich.
Only Tang Jingyi is truly a child from a poor family.
This is because Wanghai Noble School, to reflect fairness and charity, selects one child from a poor family in Wanghai City every year to attend school for free. Tang Jingyi was chosen this way.
Tang Jingyi is extremely studious, always ranking first in exams every year, and because of the wealth gap, she has maintained a somewhat distant relationship with other classmates.
The main point is, Tang Jingyi is not only intelligent but also beautifully charming, with skin like curdled cream, brows like green feathers, exuding a princess-like loneliness, strength, and aloofness from within, making people only dare admire from afar but not near lightly.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Jingyi is able to be among the four school beauties.
Recently, Tang Jingyi hadn’t come to class, reportedly because her father was ill and needed care.
Tang Jingyi finally came today, and the boys in the class were excited.
One reason is that finally, a school beauty-level beauty has come to class again, and secondly, everyone wants to see Wang Yan make a fool of himself.
Because Tang Jingyi is absolutely different from Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting, and even more opposite to Catwoman Xiaojie.
Tang Jingyi focuses solely on her studies, viewing all men as air, no matter their wealth or looks, their attraction pales in comparison to a book in Tang Jingyi’s eyes.
Therefore, every boy in the class anticipates seeing Tang Jingyi treat Wang Yan as if he were invisible upon entering the classroom.
Even if Tang Jingyi doesn’t look at Wang Yan, everyone feels extremely balanced, which could pull Wang Yan down from the pedestal.
After Xiong Jie reported this news to everyone, he proudly glanced at Wang Yan and returned to his seat.
On the seat, “Dead Fish Eyes” was already excitedly restless, glanced at Xiong Jie who sat beside him, and said: “Boss Xiong Jie, you say Tang Jingyi is back, but can Wang Yan still manage to win her over?”
Xiong Jie snorted and said, “Hmph, Wang Yan can win over Beiming Xue, Ouyang Feiting, and Xiaojie, that’s nothing impressive. Hmph, I say he definitely can’t win over Tang Jingyi.”
“Dead Fish Eyes” said worriedly: “What if Tang Jingyi likes Wang Yan too?”
Xiong Jie dismissed it and said: “Impossible, absolutely impossible. Not to mention Tang Jingyi liking Wang Yan, even if she just says a word to him, I’ll attend class lying on the ground today.”
“Dead Fish Eyes” laughed: “Please don’t, what if Tang Jingyi really speaks to Wang Yan.”
Xiong Jie waved his hand and said: “Hmph, don’t even think about it. Think about it, Tang Jingyi has attended class with us for a year, how many words has she spoken to the classmates?”
“Dead Fish Eyes” blinked, shook his head: “It seems like not even one.”
Xiong Jie laughed heartily: “Ha ha ha, exactly, finally there’s a beauty Wang Yan can’t win over, such a relief, such a relief.”
Seeing Xiong Jie’s demeanor, it seemed as if Wang Yan couldn’t win over Tang Jingyi, meaning Tang Jingyi was effectively his.
Not only Xiong Jie, but the other classmates shared the same thought, anticipating seeing Tang Jingyi gracefully pass by Wang Yan without even glancing at him, even once, would be satisfying enough.
At this moment, the class bell rang, and Xie Xiaoxian led a girl dressed in a simple white shirt into the room.
This girl wore a simple ponytail, bare-faced and without makeup, yet exuding an even more pure and outworldly aura like a celestial being descending to earth.
Seeing this girl, all the boys in the class chuckled.
Because the person was indeed Tang Jingyi.
Upon seeing Tang Jingyi, all the boys looked at Wang Yan to see how he would react.
Wang Yan was sitting in the first row; he originally looked up naturally towards Tang Jingyi but suddenly dropped his head, not daring to look Tang Jingyi in the eyes anymore.
The boys in the class, seeing this, immediately felt joy, thinking Wang Yan was intimidated by Tang Jingyi’s coldness.
Little did they know, when Wang Yan saw Tang Jingyi, he immediately recognized her as the white-clad woman he had saved in the alley a few nights ago.
“Such a coincidence, could it really be her? Hopefully she won’t recognize me, otherwise my identity as Grey Wolf might be exposed.”
Tang Jingyi stood on the podium, looking down at the floor, not glancing at anyone, naturally not seeing Wang Yan either.
At this moment, Xie Xiaoxian said to Tang Jingyi: “Jingyi, during your absence, some seats have been rearranged in class, so choose one for yourself.”
Tang Jingyi nodded slightly, said “Hm” softly, and started off the podium, directly walking towards the empty table left by Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting, without saying a word, and sat down.
Seeing Tang Jingyi not even glancing at Wang Yan, all the classmates sighed in relief, wearing smug expressions.
Xiong Jie turned to glance at “Dead Fish Eyes,” raised his eyebrows with a gleam of pride, evident though unspoken.
Xie Xiaoxian looked on appreciatively; ever since Wang Yan appeared, top students Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting kept performing erratically, now it was only Tang Jingyi who remained a source of comfort for her.
Thinking of this, Xie Xiaoxian fiercely glared at Wang Yan.
“This Wang Yan is truly terrifying. He enchanted Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting as if losing their souls, and now only Tang Jingyi is left; hope this kid doesn’t bother her again.”
Nevertheless, Xie Xiaoxian reconsidered, realizing Wang Yan hadn’t actually actively approached anyone; instead, it was Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting seeking him. Even she felt a bit disoriented when watching Wang Yan flourish with calligraphy.
Thinking of Wang Yan’s “Four Ancient Poems,” which hung in her office, Xie Xiaoxian involuntarily shuddered, nearly losing herself again.
Soon Xie Xiaoxian steadied her mind, ready to commence the day’s lessons.
At that moment, Xie Xiaoxian noticed the newly seated Tang Jingyi.
Tang Jingyi was staring directly at Wang Yan, with a peculiar expression on her face.
Xie Xiaoxian’s heart skipped a beat: “Oh no, could Tang Jingyi be also not immune?”
Seeing Xie Xiaoxian’s expression, all the classmates turned their eyes to Tang Jingyi. Witnessing that she was indeed staring at Wang Yan, they almost cried.
“No way, Wang Yan hasn’t even done anything. Can he actually captivate Tang Jingyi?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
“I don’t believe it—”
All the classmates mentally shouted, yet none could accept what they were seeing.
Suddenly, Tang Jingyi raised her hand, stood up, and said to Xie Xiaoxian: “Teacher Xie, I’d like to change seats. Sitting in the front allows me to see clearer.”
