After Becoming a Scummy Alpha, the Movie Queen Just Wants to Pamper Her Wife - Chapter 88.1
On the third Monday morning of the new semester in the second year of high school, during the self-study period, the homeroom teacher of the experimental class, Chao Zhi, walked onto the podium followed by a tall girl.
Any student who looked up at this scene couldn’t help but think inwardly, Damn! A fairy!!
This girl was just too beautiful.
She was like the morning sunlight even this gloomy, overcast morning seemed to brighten just from her presence.
Chao Zhi tapped the lectern, and the class quieted down. She said, “Let’s welcome our new classmate.”
The enthusiastic applause finally pulled Xi Xiaoyan out of her book. She raised her head and looked toward the podium.
This face looks so familiar, I must have seen her somewhere before!
The thought had barely flickered through Xi Xiaoyan’s mind when, as if sensing it, the girl on the podium cast her starry gaze over the crowd and landed it precisely on her.
Finally, the applause died down.
Chao Zhi spoke again, “New classmate, please introduce yourself.”
“Hello everyone, my name is Meng Chu’e.”
Everyone noticed she was looking at Xi Xiaoyan as she spoke.
Her voice was so pleasant, so clear and melodious, that just hearing it could make one forget the heavy workload of high school and stay happy all day.
But seeing her smile so boldly at Xi Xiaoyan right after arriving, everyone couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, The new fairy has set her sights on the wrong person!
Who was Xi Xiaoyan?
The most unattainable flower atop the highest peak of Linglu High School! Beautiful, yes but also icy cold and aloof!
In her first year, during a national high school speech competition, she had only won second place, but her stunning looks had gone viral online, and Linglu High School had gained fame alongside her.
After that competition, the line of people pursuing her stretched from inside the school all the way to the gates and beyond the gates, there was another crowd from other schools, the line extending all the way to the subway station.
Whether they were the school heartthrob, the campus bully, or the top student whether they came from wealthy, political, or celebrity families.
Xi Xiaoyan never spared them a second glance, coldly rejecting them all with the same line: “I don’t date.”
Countless seeds of love had sprouted because of her, and countless budding romances had withered in the face of reckless confessions.
The students of the second-year experimental class had witnessed far too many love tragedies caused by Xi Xiaoyan’s icy demeanor.
So when they saw the new fairy flash a radiant, cloud-dispelling smile at their most unapproachable flower, they couldn’t help but collectively suck in sharp breaths.
Snapping back to reality, everyone followed the new student’s gaze and turned to look at Xi Xiaoyan.
Just then, the homeroom teacher, Chao Zhi, dropped another bombshell: “Xi Xiaoyan, would you let the new student sit with you?”
Note well Chao Zhi had phrased it as a question.
This alone showed just how influential Xi Xiaoyan was.
She was the only student in the class with a fixed seat and one that came with two chairs.
Meanwhile, there were still three or four empty seats at the back of the classroom.
Everyone waited for this delicate flower, who exuded an aura of “strangers, keep away,” to reject their homeroom teacher.
After all, it wasn’t as if no one had tried to sit with her before and without exception, the outcome had always been tragic.
“Sure!”
Xi Xiaoyan’s reply made everyone wonder if they were hallucinating this early in the morning.
The real kicker?
She smiled.
Everyone saw it but each of them was convinced they must be imagining things.
It must be noted that Xi Xiaoyan hadn’t smiled in the classroom for at least half a year.
In just a few short minutes, everyone’s hearts felt like they’d been tossed onto a rollercoaster.
Each person was thrilled that another stunning beauty had joined their class, yet secretly worried after all, two beauties could never peacefully coexist under one roof.
Before Meng Chuwu appeared, Xi Xiaoyan had been the undisputed campus belle.
But now, in comparison, the new fairy-like transfer student seemed even more dazzling, more enchanting, and her beauty felt more genuine.
Everyone was skeptical about Xi Xiaoyan’s uncharacteristic gesture of offering the seat beside her to Meng Chuwu sooner or later, they were bound to clash.
“Since Meng Chuwu is new here, everyone should help her adjust to the new environment,” Chao Zhi’s words interrupted the students’ complicated thoughts.
“Got it!” The reply was unusually crisp and loud.
Under the envious gazes of her classmates, Meng Chuwu walked calmly to Xi Xiaoyan’s side.
Her beautiful eyes remained smiling, her light footsteps as if she were walking straight toward her own happiness.
As for their class’s unattainable flower, Xi Xiaoyan, no one knew what had gotten into her today. She had never held anyone’s gaze for so long before.
But everyone witnessed it once their eyes met, they never looked away.
Wait a minute!
It dawned on everyone simultaneously, though belatedly, they must be long-lost friends reunited!
“Continue with self-study,” Chao Zhi said before hurrying off.
But who could focus on studying now? All they wanted was to watch Xi Xiaoyan and Meng Chuwu.
The livelier students immediately started bombarding Meng Chuwu with questions.
“Meng, which school did you transfer from?”
“Yeah, we’re already in our second year of high school, why transfer now?”
“The hottest thread on Luda High’s forum, ‘Campus Belle Showdown,’ doesn’t even have your photo that can’t be right!”
“She might not even be from Luda. With that aura, she’s probably from Shanghai or Beijing!”
“Now that they’re sitting together, I’ll just stare at them from now on.”
“Hahaha, what kind of creepy comment is that.”
Meng Chuwu smiled and said, “I transferred from Singapore.”
She propped her elbow on the desk, cupping her cheek in her palm as she turned slightly toward Xi Xiaoyan on her left.
As if she were speaking solely to her.
“I didn’t ask you,” Xi Xiaoyan retorted, maintaining her aloof facade.
But inside, she had already turned into a screaming fangirl: Meng Chuwu is so gorgeous! I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful, I want to be best friends with her right now!!!
Xi Xiaoyan hadn’t felt this happy in years.
Meng Chuwu’s gaze seemed to awaken her long-dormant girlish heart in an instant, illuminating the slightly desolate loneliness of her past.
“Your eyes asked for me,” Meng Chuwu replied, her voice carrying a unique persuasiveness.
If anyone else had said something like that, Xi Xiaoyan would have found it frivolous.
But coming from her new deskmate, it became, She’s amazing, she can actually read my mind.
The classmates around them fell silent, ears perked, afraid to miss even a single word between the two.
They had never listened this attentively not even during the most demanding math classes.
Xi Xiaoyan had originally intended to maintain her persona after all, in the eyes of her classmates, she was known for being aloof and distant. The idea of breaking character by acting overly familiar with a new classmate right off the bat was something she absolutely refused to do.
But she really, really wanted to turn her head and look into Meng Chuwu’s eyes.
She adored those smiling, expressive eyes of hers. And earlier, when Meng Chuwu had stood at the podium and flashed a grin, Xi Xiaoyan had noticed her teeth were especially captivating, white and lovely.
Meng Chuwu, meanwhile, took in Xi Xiaoyan’s barely concealed curiosity masked by feigned disinterest.
So she reached out with her other hand and gently tapped Xi Xiaoyan’s arm. “What’s your name?”
They didn’t even know each other?! This move from Meng Chuwu made the classmates still watching them collectively gasp.
Because the last person who had dared to lay a hand on Xi Xiaoyan had their fingers snapped by her bodyguards, the twin sisters Luo Pi and Luo Pa from the sports specialty class.
Just as everyone expected Xi Xiaoyan to angrily rebuke her.
She turned her head toward Meng Chuwu and answered softly, “Xi Xiaoyan.”
“Xi Xiaoyan, that’s a really pretty name.”
“Yours is nice too.”
What happened to “two beauties can’t coexist”?
Instead of clashing, they were complimenting each other’s names, what kind of dynamic was this?!
Sensitive classmates, like Chen Lanying, already caught a whiff of something romantic in the air. She nudged her deskmate and whispered, “Chi Qing, is it love at first sight? Mmm, I really wanna see them get close!”
“You’ve read too much yuri manga!” Chi Qing shoved her deskmate’s head without mercy.
Suddenly, the bell for the end of morning self-study rang.
As soon as class was dismissed, everyone eagerly swarmed around Meng Chuwu, chattering away with endless questions.
Even though the advanced class was mostly filled with top-tier academic achievers, who could resist a stunning fairy who didn’t keep people at arm’s length?! Even the shy students who were too embarrassed to approach put down their books and quietly listened in.
Xi Xiaoyan found this incredibly irritating. Meng Chuwu was her deskmate!
She hadn’t even gotten to ask anything yet, and everyone else had already stolen the opportunity. So frustrating!
