Even Though She's a Minor Cannon Fodder, She's Doted On by Everyone

She was originally a diligent and hardworking little shut-in with no parents. As a result of trying too hard, she worked herself to death in her first life!

After finally managing to reincarn...

Chapter 18 School Starts!

Lin Ruanruan has been having a great time lately, enjoying herself immensely every day. She visits Huo Xian's house from time to time and occasionally runs into Xuan Yuan Haocheng.

She always felt that the way the other person looked at her was a bit off. At first, she didn't understand why, until she realized that whenever Huo Xian spoke to her, Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng would become gloomy.

She then realized that he was jealous. Tsk tsk, he's even jealous of girls. No wonder he's the repressed, jealous male lead from the original story.

Another thing she noticed was that Aunt Yan, Huo's mother, was exceptionally warm towards her, always wanting to share new jewelry with her.

They even cooked her delicious food, which made her feel somewhat flattered.

But her happiness came to an end when Huo Xian told her that school was about to start.

"Sigh~" Lin Ruanruan sighed.

Ms. Li Shuzhen pinched her nose, "Why are you sighing at such a young age?"

"Mom," Lin Ruanruan asked seriously, posing the question that all students ask, "Can I not go to school?"

"No way." Ms. Li refused firmly; no matter how much Lin Ruanruan pleaded, it wouldn't work.

It was one thing for my daughter to be a bit slow before, but now that she's so incredibly smart, how can she not go to school?

If Lin Ruanruan knew what her mother was really thinking, she would definitely shout that it was a misunderstanding. She's not smart at all; it's just that her mother's filter on her is too thick.

Finally, Lin Ruanruan sat down at her familiar desk, stroking the expensive desk of the private elite high school.

She thought to herself, "It must be so comfortable to sleep on such a big desk."

Many students were talking to each other about where they went during the holidays, which countries they visited, and what they learned.

The classroom was noisy and bustling. Almost no one paid any attention to Lin Ruanruan, who was sitting in the corner of the last row.

Lin Ruanruan rested her chin on her hand, clearly very satisfied. She hated interacting with strangers. In her eyes, these classmates were all strangers.

Apart from Zheng Zhaodi, who was sitting in the front row and secretly glaring at her. Lin Ruanruan was very sensitive to other people's gazes, and she always felt that Zheng Zhaodi's gaze made her feel prickly all over.

I could only silently turn my head to look at the tree branches outside the window. Hmm, the trees are very green this year too.

Finally, the arrival of the homeroom teacher quieted the entire class down.

The teacher began with the same encouraging words she used every semester, urging all the young ladies and gentlemen to get back into the swing of things and work harder in the new semester.

Lin Ruanruan almost fell asleep when the teacher announced that a new student had joined their class.

"Come on, let's give a round of applause to welcome our new students!"

Lin Ruanruan sat up straight abruptly. "Hmm? Was the teacher a host before? How festive!"

When Lin Ruanruan saw the beautiful girl who came in, her eyes widened immediately.

The girl had long, glossy black hair that shone brightly in the sunlight streaming through the window.

Her almond-shaped eyes were slightly upturned and captivating, and beneath her pert nose were glossy pink lips. Dressed in a blue school uniform, she was the very embodiment of a campus goddess.

Cool, noble, and elegant.

But isn't this her beloved Xianxian?

They're actually classmates!

Lin Ruanruan recalled that the female lead in the story did indeed transfer to a prestigious high school, but she transferred to the honors class, not this slacker class 13.

Could it be that Xianxian transferred to Class 13 because of her? This isn't narcissism on her part; she simply couldn't imagine why Huo Xianxian would give up the honors class and come to the slacker class.

Huo Xian introduced herself with a faint smile and a polite, distant manner. When choosing a seat, she sat down next to Lin Ruanruan without hesitation.

A murmur of confusion arose around them, as if they were wondering why this new student would sit next to Lin Ruanruan, that idiot, instead of taking an empty seat in front of him.

Lin Ruanruan looked at Huo Xian with starry eyes; her Xianxian was just so handsome!

After Huo Xian sat down, he saw Lin Ruanruan looking at him like that, and couldn't help but smile at her. In that instant, it was like spring flowers blooming, and gasps of breath were heard around them.

Lin Ruanruan smiled mysteriously, "You know nothing about the female lead's looks!" As Huo Xian's friend, she expressed great pride and honor.

Just as Lin Ruanruan was about to speak to Huo Xian, the teacher spoke again.

"Ahem, we have a new student here! Let's give them another round of applause!"

Lin Ruanruan had no choice but to stop, to show her respect. At the same time, she concluded that her homeroom teacher must have been a wedding emcee.

When Lin Ruanruan saw who the new classmate was, she couldn't help but glance at Huo Xian beside her. Huo Xian shrugged; to be honest, she was also surprised to see him at the door earlier.

The man who entered was undeniably handsome, with striking eyebrows, bright eyes, and a high nose bridge, but his demeanor was cold and aloof. A single glance from him felt like being frozen in place.

Lin Ruanruan nodded silently in her heart. As expected of the female lead's official partner, this is really high-class.

A gentle and refined gentleman suddenly appeared in her mind; he was completely different from the male lead. Thinking of Huo Qi, Lin Ruanruan's mood improved even more.

However, she had some doubts. Shouldn't the male lead be studying at his prestigious high school? Why was he studying here?

It's not that this high school is bad; on the contrary, as a prestigious private school, it has a very strong teaching staff.

However, in the original story, the male protagonist actually graduated from his previous top high school.

Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng saw Huo Xian sitting in the last row, and Lin Ruan Ruan next to her. He frowned slightly. Sure enough, this Lin Ruan Ruan was his formidable rival.

Ever since Xianxian appeared in his life, he hasn't had a chance to ask her out, and he's even been abandoned by her. He's decided to learn from this painful experience and take back everything that's rightfully his.

Then everyone saw this cold-faced handsome guy coldly throw out a "Xuanyuan Haocheng" to everyone and then sit down directly in front of Lin Ruanruan and Huo Xian.

There was a boy sitting alone in front of Lin Ruanruan, and she was just one seatmate short.

The boy was secretly reading his adult novel when suddenly an ice cube sat next to him, which startled him so much that he almost threw his phone away.

Sitting behind him, Lin Ruanruan, with her sharp eyes, noticed the contents of the other person's phone.

The other person chuckled, taking advantage of the situation, and lifted him by the waist with one hand. He could no longer hold back a groan...

"Hiss~" Lin Ruanruan's eyes widened, and the boy in front of her immediately turned around and had a 'deep' eye contact with Lin Ruanruan.

Lin Ruanruan's eyes lit up. Wow, it's 18+, and it's Nan Nan! This young man is something else.

The boy in front of him blushed furiously. He quickly turned off his phone and slumped onto the table. Ah!!! His reputation was ruined, completely ruined!

He decided he would carve out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment using only his toes.
