Just as the school bell rang, a loud noise came from behind Mu Tiantian.

The back door was slammed against the wall, and the classroom fell silent instantly as the students in the front row turned around.

"I...I'm not late." The person who arrived was panting heavily, and plopped down in the empty seat next to Mu Tiantian, catching his breath.

He just wanted to sit down and rest, so he didn't pay attention to who was next to him.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Shen Xiaqing, standing on the podium, produced a list of names with satisfaction and said in a kind tone, "Now, let's begin roll call. Shen Lintian."

"Here!" The boy next to Mu Tiantian shouted in a strong voice.

Shen Lintian breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally caught up.

He didn't even have time to comb his shoulder-length black hair as he ran wildly, wishing he had two more legs.

"Lin Lin".

"Here!" Lin Lin's voice was also loud and clear.

"Wang Ming..." The roll call continued.

"Wow, you actually came," Lin Lin teased in a low voice. "I thought you were going to fight your brother to the bitter end."

"Resist? What can I use to resist? How can I compare to his beastly heart!" Shen Lintian muttered, almost shouting it out loud.

Mu Tiantian leaned back slightly, sandwiched between the two, to allow them to communicate better.

"Students, please don't whisper during class. If you have any questions, you can talk to me." As Shen Xiaqing said this, she looked at Shen Lintian with a gentle smile.

Shen Lintian quickly shut up, and Lin Lin didn't dare to say anything more.

Shen Xiaqing continued calling roll.

Lin Lin chuckled and said to Mu Tiantian with a gossipy look, "Let me tell you, don't be fooled by his handsome appearance, he's actually a coward."

At this moment, Shen Lintian noticed Mu Tiantian beside him. He was stunned when he saw her appearance. She looked like the female elf that Fan Ge married in the game.

He had looked at the elf's information; the character's appearance showed "initial skin," and her 3D image was so beautiful it felt unreal.

Therefore, he always felt that the female elf's game image must differ from reality.

However, now that he has seen her in person, he thinks she is even more beautiful than her virtual avatar in the game.

Mu Tiantian felt a little uncomfortable under Shen Lintian's gaze and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Classmate, is there something on my face?"

Shen Lintian snapped out of his daze, his words faltering, "N-nothing..."

"Si Yihan".

"......"

Shen Xiaqing looked up, "Has Si Yihan arrived? No, he hasn't..."

Just as he picked up his pen to make a mark, a sound came from the back door.

"arrive."

When Shen Xiaqing saw that someone had arrived, she didn't say anything and continued calling out names, "Si Yifan."

"......"

"Lin Ye".

There was no response.

Shen Xiaqing marked the names of the two students and said, "If you know these two students, please pass on a message: if they don't come in ten minutes, it will be considered an absence, and they will fail the course."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lin nudged Shen Lintian and whispered, "Why didn't you call my brother?"

“He’s sleeping like a log, how could I possibly wake him up? Besides, I’ll fail this class if I’m late, so I don’t have time to wake him.” Shen Lintian said, taking out his phone to call Si Yifan.

Lin Lin also began to contact Lin Ye.

Just as Si Yihan was about to find a seat, he smelled a familiar scent.

At this moment, Shen Xiaqing called out the last name, "Mu Tiantian".

"arrive."

The students, whose attention was originally on Si Yihan, were all drawn to Mu Tiantian.

This girl looks completely unfamiliar.

Some students were discussing it in hushed tones.

"How come I never noticed that there are such beautiful girls in our class?"

"Yes, this must be her first day of class."

"I'll ask her after class. This girl is so pretty, she looks just like a model."

"Someone this pretty must already have a boyfriend."

How would you know if you didn't ask?

"Even if you don't have a boyfriend, you must have plenty of suitors."

"That's true..."

Chu Qingqing overheard the whispers of several boys and glanced at Mu Tiantian a few more times. She was indeed prettier than the average person, but saying she had a model face was an exaggeration.

Wan Jing bluntly voiced her thoughts: "She acts like she's never seen a woman before, with a vixen-like face, she probably had plastic surgery somewhere."

Shi Yayuan and Fan Xiaodie, who were sitting in front of the two, could hear Wan Jing's voice and their expressions changed.

"Xiaodie, can you smell a rotten lemon?" Shi Yayuan covered her nose and said disgustedly, "It's so sour it's stinky."

Fan Xiaodie immediately understood and chimed in, "That's right, I don't know what's there to be so sour about all day long. Just because someone isn't as pretty as her doesn't mean she's a vixen. She doesn't even look at herself. She has such a mean and sarcastic face, just like a snake."

"How dare you speak like that, Fan Xiaodie!" Wan Jing was furious when she heard the two men's sarcastic remarks, as if they had hit a nerve.

His voice was so loud that it forcefully drew the students' attention back to him.

Fan Xiaodie looked at Wan Jing with innocent, puzzled eyes. "What did I say?"

Shen Xiaqing looked up, her expression serious. "Wan Jing, is there a problem? Do you need me to make room for you?"

Wan Jing gritted her teeth and glared at the two of them hatefully. Not wanting to disrupt the class, she could only sit quietly.

Shi Yayuan and Fan Xiaodie smiled at each other and gave each other a thumbs up.

Shen Xiaqing glanced at the other students and said loudly, "If you still have something to say, I'll give you time, and you can skip this class."

The classroom was very quiet. Teacher Shen was usually gentle and had a very good temper. Her lectures were also humorous and interesting.

However, he becomes very serious if a student seriously disrupts the class.

Seeing that no one spoke, Shen Xiaqing took out her textbook. "Nothing to say? If you have nothing to say, take out your book."

The students took out their textbooks.

Lin Lin curiously asked in the dormitory group what had happened.

Shi Yayuan explained in detail, sending several messages in succession.

Lin Lin watched with great satisfaction and replied: "Well done."

None of the three of them really liked Wan Jing, it was a grudge they had formed in the game before, but with Chu Qingqing acting as a peacemaker, their conflict with Wan Jing didn't get too ugly.

But now, it seems there's no need to maintain this facade anymore.

At this moment, Shen Lintian was shocked to see Si Yihan sitting next to him.

Although the Shen family and the Si family had some dealings, they were more closely connected with the parents of the two brothers, so he had a better relationship with Si Yifan.

Si Yihan returned to his parents' side two or three years ago and transferred to their high school.

His personality is very different from Si Yifan's.

Very aloof, doesn't communicate with people.

But despite his social anxiety, he was quite decisive in rejecting girls who confessed their feelings to him, and he could also scare girls who were persistent and clingy to him to tears.

So Shen Lintian thought he was just too lazy to talk to people and was unconventional.

However, he underwent a huge change during the summer vacation.

From being as thin as a stick, he transformed into a perfect physique with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and well-defined abdominal muscles.

She also had a smile on her face from time to time, and seemed much more cheerful.

But for some reason, in the last three months, Si Yihan's face has been even more unpleasant than when he was in school. It's as if someone owes him something, and he exudes a low-pressure aura, so no one dares to approach him.

Shen Lintian even asked Si Yifan about this, but Si Yifan wouldn't say, and the atmosphere between the two brothers became even more tense than before.

He didn't ask any further questions.

Seeing that Shen Lintian was looking at him like he was a monster, Si Yihan asked in a low voice, "Is there something you need?"

Shen Lintian quickly glanced around. The lecture hall was quite large and had plenty of seats.

Why did Si Yihan happen to sit next to him?
