The two girls outside the window were stunned.
In the row behind, Xia Nuannuan's pretty face was a little flushed, but she secretly gave Qiu Man a thumbs-up.
Qin Tian, sitting beside her, couldn't help but chuckle.
"What? Qin Tian has a girlfriend? Is that true?"
One of the girls asked, her face full of surprise.
"It's true."
Qiu Man nodded without hesitation.
"Hey, what are you gossiping about!"
Just as the girl was about to ask more, she was pushed aside by her companion.
"Classmate, you've misunderstood. We don't mean anything else, we just want to get to know Qin Tian."
"Really?"
Qiu Man showed a look of disbelief and glanced at Su Yan behind the two girls.
The two girls exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other's meaning. They simultaneously grabbed Su Yan's arms and pulled her forward.
"What are you doing?"
Su Yan bashfully resisted.
However, the two close friends directly embraced her waist and spoke one after another:
"It's our campus belle, Su Yan. Qin Tian from your class snatched the first place this time, so she's very curious and wants to see who he is."
"That's right. Our Su Yan said she sincerely accepted her defeat this time and just wants to know who the handsome guy that beat her is."
"You guys—"
Su Yan was both embarrassed and annoyed, her delicate oval face turning bright red.
The classroom was very quiet, with all the students' attention drawn to them.
The girls were quite indignant.
So what if she's the campus belle? She still wants to come to their class to steal a man?
Even without Xia Nuannuan, they had to ask if they agreed!
As for the boys, they were naturally more envious and jealous of Qin Tian. At this moment, they were all watching with amusement, hoping for Qin Tian to end up in a mess.
Seeing that both girls had said this, Qiu Man was a little unsure what to do and instinctively turned to look at Qin Tian.
The eyes of the two girls outside the window followed her gaze to Qin Tian, and then their eyes instantly lit up.
"So handsome..."
One of the girls murmured, audible only to herself.
Su Yan also looked at Qin Tian with curiosity.
"I am Qin Tian. Hello, everyone."
Qin Tian offered a polite smile and introduced himself.
This smile, combined with his handsome appearance, seemed so sunny and cheerful to the two girls.
"Hello, handsome classmate!"
"Qin Tian, can you come out and chat for a bit?"
The two girls smiled brightly, appearing a little infatuated.
"Let's forget it. It's almost time for class, you should hurry back to your classroom!"
Qin Tian politely declined.
Later in the internet age, when the term "simp" became popular, many involved people finally understood their own heartache.
Some had a change of heart, but others still enjoyed it.
The simps who would call the "grandfather" of all simps when rejected by a goddess would always overthink things.
The opposite situation also existed.
For example, at this moment, Qin Tian had already shown clear signs of refusal, but the two girls interpreted it as him caring about them.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, we won't be late."
"With Su Yan with us, it's fine even if we're late."
Su Yan, caught between the two, was dumbfounded and looked at her two close friends with a strange expression, as if she was meeting them for the first time.
Qin Tian was also momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Handsome, handsome, can you tell us your QQ number? Su Yan wants to add you as a friend so she can discuss some study-related issues."
The girl on the left asked with a smile.
Su Yan was completely stunned.
"Uh... I'm sorry, I can't recall it right now."
Qin Tian chuckled and refused again.
Seeing this, Xia Nuannuan's lips curved into a slight smile, and her mood was quite pleasant.
She knew Qin Tian wouldn't be so superficial.
Campus belle or not, he wouldn't care!
The two girls, hearing this, also seemed to sober up a bit, their faces filled with sadness and disappointment.
Su Yan also blinked, feeling inexplicably a little disheartened.
Although she was dragged here forcefully and didn't really want any interaction with Qin Tian.
However, being rejected like this was also a first for her.
From childhood, she was the "child of other people's families" in her parents' eyes and a beautiful girl with both talent and beauty in her classmates' eyes. She was also a proud person.
This word was not a derogatory term for her, but represented confidence in her own abilities and charm.
Therefore, when her friend asked for contact information in her name, and Qin Tian so directly refused, even with her cool personality, she couldn't remain unfazed.
Sensing Su Yan's somewhat resentful gaze fixed on Qin Tian, Xia Nuannuan's alarm bells began to ring.
Girls were very sensitive to such situations.
This seemingly hostile look could easily turn into affection.
She absolutely could not let this bud grow!
Xia Nuannuan knew she couldn't remain silent any longer.
A sweet smile appeared on her cute and pretty face, and she chimed in, "Um... I'm sorry, but he's always tutoring me whenever he has time, so he might not have time to discuss with others."
Qin Tian turned his head, looking at her with surprise.
The classroom was silent, and all eyes were fixed on Xia Nuannuan.
Both boys and girls in the class wore expressions of disbelief.
They've gone mad! Is this still the Xia Nuannuan they knew?
The chubby girl who used to only dare to endure silently when bullied, now dared to confront the campus belle head-on?
In less than a month, Xia Nuannuan's changes in every aspect were too significant.
On the corridor outside the window, Su Yan and her two close friends also looked at Xia Nuannuan with expressions of astonishment.
Xia Nuannuan's first impression on them was that she was very beautiful and stunning.
Unlike Su Yan's kind of beauty, Xia Nuannuan leaned towards the cute and sweet type.
Her sweet smile and shallow dimples made people instantly feel good about her.
Even though what this girl was saying at the moment seemed unfriendly to them.
The two girls' gazes shifted slightly downward, their faces showing a hint of astonishment, and then they subconsciously glanced at their companion, Su Yan.
It's over!
They lost!!
In terms of appearance, in their aesthetic view, Su Yan was not inferior, just the style and type were different.
But in terms of figure, they lost without suspense, completely defeated!
This girl... was indeed too well-endowed!
For their age group, it was hard for anyone to match her.
Just then, the class bell rang.
"Let's go."
Su Yan grabbed her two friends' wrists and quickly left with a poker face.
Xia Nuannuan let out a soft sigh, trying her best to calm her somewhat nervous and apprehensive emotions.
The pressure was quite high after mustering the courage to do something that didn't quite fit her personality.
"Clap clap!"
Someone, it's unclear who, started clapping.
Soon, warm applause erupted in the classroom.
Xia Nuannuan looked around with a dazed expression. Seeing everyone looking at her with surprised eyes, her cheeks instantly flushed, and she hurriedly raised her left hand to cover her face.
