A new semester brings new beginnings, and maybe even new seats and new deskmates.

Sure enough, as soon as we got back to the classroom, the homeroom teacher said that we would rearrange the seats and choose seats according to grades.

Lin Ruanruan and the others, who were among the top four in the class, still chose their previous seats.

This was something the others hadn't expected. They thought these guys would choose seats near the front, but instead they were sitting in the corner where the 'underachievers' were sitting, pretending to be top students.

Fang Lan originally wanted to sit with Lin Ruanruan, but worried that the rumors in the gossip group would become more and more outrageous, so she chose the seat from the end of last semester.

Huo Xian originally wanted to sit with Lin Ruanruan, but Fang Lan pulled her away, saying, "No, no, no, Sister Xian, you sit with me, I won't switch."

"Why?" Huo Xian looked at Fang Lan in confusion.

Fang Lan touched his nose guiltily, "Well, better to let my friend die than myself, let Ruan Ruan and Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng sit together."

Just kidding, if Huo Xian went to sit next to Ruan Ruan, wouldn't Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng become his deskmate again? He doesn't want to sit next to an ice cube.

Huo Xian couldn't help but roll her eyes at Fang Lan, "Why are you so afraid of Brother Hao Cheng? He's a really nice guy."

Despite saying that, Huo Xian still sat in the same seat as last semester, and she was quite happy to be Fang Lan's deskmate.

Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, who came in third place, sat in his previous seat, followed closely by Lin Ruan Ruan, who happily sat in her familiar window seat.

Xuan Yuanhao raised an eyebrow at the books on Lin Ruanruan's desk. "Didn't you send someone to bring back last semester's books?"

Lin Ruanruan stretched out her index finger and shook it, "This isn't a book, this is my cover."

Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng: ?

He simply couldn't understand Lin Ruanruan's way of thinking.

However, he soon understood what Lin Ruanruan meant, because Lin Ruanruan directly placed all the newly issued books on the table, with the books from last semester on the lower shelf and the new books on the upper shelf, stacked neatly.

After finishing, she drew little figures under the cover of the books, completely ignoring how the homeroom teacher on the podium was spitting as he spoke.

Xuanyuan Haocheng: ...

All you do every day is this useless stuff.

Fang Lan was just as absent-minded as Lin Ruanruan, but he was never one to put on airs; his desk was spotless, and he simply placed his phone on his lap to watch videos.

The homeroom teacher saw right through her immediately, "Fang Lan! Go stand outside and put your phone down."

Fang Lan reluctantly put down her phone and left the house. Her appearance was enough to give the homeroom teacher a heart attack. If it weren't for the fact that this child had good grades, he would have punished her long ago.

As Fang Lan was leaving, she bumped into Li Zihao, who was reporting to Class 13. Fang Lan slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing, "You successfully transferred classes?"

Li Zihao adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and smiled shyly. "Yeah, I'm here to report for duty. Are you here to pick me up?"

Fang Lan: "...Ah, right, right, come, let me show you in."

Fang Lan opened the back door of the classroom again, and the homeroom teacher almost cursed at Fang Lan when she returned.

Fang Lan, of course, didn't give him a chance. "Teacher, our top student is here! Come on, everyone, let's clap and welcome our new classmate, Li Zihao!"

A few mischievous underachievers immediately clapped their hands, some even starting to whistle, and the whole class erupted in excitement.

The homeroom teacher smiled and said, "Li Zihao is here! There are still seats available in the front row, come and sit down!"

He was secretly delighted. The hardworking top student from the honors class had voluntarily transferred to his class. What else could this be but an affirmation of his abilities? It was undoubtedly his own excellent teaching ethics that had attracted such a good student as Li Zihao.

Li Zihao smiled shyly and walked over to the round-faced girl. Sure enough, the round-faced girl still occupied the spot next to Lin Ruanruan and the others.

"Teacher, I'll sit here."

This place is closer to Huo Xian and Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, so he can take the opportunity to learn from them.

The other students in the front row watched Li Zihao silently, wondering why these top students all liked the back row, and what good things were in the back row.

They silently shifted their gaze to a few underachievers who were also sitting in the back row and who usually cheated and skipped school by climbing over the wall.

Hmm... they really don't understand the world of academic geniuses.

Huo Xian looked at Li Zihao. She had a good impression of this hardworking boy. She often saw him asking questions in the office. At the end of last semester, he also said that he wanted to join her study group.

Seeing that the other person seemed a little uncomfortable with the enthusiasm of Class 13, she smiled at them as encouragement.

Li Zihao returned a shy smile.

Lin Ruanruan and Xuanyuan Haocheng, as if they had radar in their heads, immediately locked their gazes on Li Zihao, making Li Zihao jump.

He looked at Lin Ruanruan and Xuan Yuanhaocheng in a daze, silently swallowing. Why did he feel that these two looked so fierce?

Lin Ruanruan snorted. She wasn't as cute as her, so she definitely wouldn't attract Xianxian. When Xianxian first met her, she said that Xianxian was cute.

Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng also withdrew his gaze. Little Li Zihao was nothing special, and Xian Xian definitely had no interest in him.

Li Zihao wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and looked at the round-faced girl slacking off and drawing beside him. "Hey classmate, aren't Lin Ruanruan and Xuan Yuanhaocheng from two different families? I feel like they're siblings."

Their expressions were so synchronized: first scrutiny, then contempt, and finally indifference.

The little girl with the round face looked up and said, "You can just call me Yuan Yuanyuan. Actually, it's pretty much like they call us siblings."

After all, she spent her winter break following gossip, not only from the entertainment industry but also from the wealthy families of Nan Province.

Recently, anyone who asks around knows that Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng is now living in the Lin family's house, and that his mother, Liang Yan, is being gossiped about behind her back by many wives and daughters.
