"Thank you." Ling Mo took the tissue, tilted his head, and gently dried the water from his hair.

Li Wanwan was surprised that Ling Mo would thank her, and her face flushed red. She awkwardly twisted her hands together, and after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't think of a reply.

Looking up at Li Wanwan, who was as nervous as a young wife, Ling Mo smiled slightly.

Before this, she rarely took the initiative to talk to Li Wanwan, because in her mind, talking to an idiot was a waste of time.

However, since her rebirth, her mindset has undergone a tremendous change.

Li Wanwan caught a fleeting, faint smile on Ling Mo's face and stared at him intently.

Oh my god...

Someone please save her!

She was almost overwhelmed by her handsome classmate.

Li Wanwan kept swallowing, her heart pounding, completely immersed in the charming dimple on Ling Mo's right cheek.

Don't let her current calm fool you; her heart is already teeming with chubby groundhogs, screaming in waves of excitement.

Help! My sister is killing me!

In fact, not only Li Wanwan, but all the students in the class were glancing at Ling Mo, this transfer student with a cool and unique temperament, out of the corner of their eyes.

Those who were a little bolder had already secretly taken out their phones and started snapping photos of Ling Mo.

After taking the photos, without even editing them, she uploaded the unedited pictures directly to the No. 1 Middle School forum, along with what she thought was a particularly cool caption:

Who says our Class F is the worst in everything? When it comes to looks alone, Ling is number one in terms of talent.

Soon, the post received hundreds of replies, and its popularity was boosted to the top of the forum's homepage.

After Gu Tingbai saw the post, he started leaving a barrage of comments.

[My sister's legs aren't legs, they're like the spring waters of the Seine.]

[My sister's waist isn't a waist, it's like a deadly curved blade.]

...

The boy behind Gu Tingbai saw him burying his head in his desk drawer, his shoulders shaking like he had an epileptic seizure, and patted him on the back with concern. "Gu Tingbai, what's so interesting you're looking at? Share it with your buddy?"

"Get out of the way, I'm supporting Ling in the rankings!"

Gu Tingbai turned around, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

The thought that such a beautiful girl was about to become his third sister-in-law filled him with a strange sense of pride.

"Ling? Are you talking about your school beauty deskmate, or that transfer student in Class F?"

"You didn't know the school beauty has changed? Besides, Ling Tian and I just sit next to each other, we're not really deskmates, so watch your mouth."

Gu Tingbai retorted fiercely, eager to distance himself from the situation.

He wouldn't even glance at a pretentious girl like Ling Tian.

The student behind him asked with a puzzled look, "Is Ling Mo from Class F really that good-looking?"

In his opinion, Ling Tian was already a true beauty.

Most girls can't even compare to Ling Tian's little toes.

"Absolutely! Come on, I'll take you to Class F to broaden your horizons." Gu Tingbai jumped up from his seat, dragged the boy behind him, and headed towards Class F.

As soon as they stepped out of Class A classroom, they were trampled several times by a large group of boys rushing towards Class F.

"Damn it! My shoes...are they in a hurry to be reborn?"

"The bell is about to ring, and you're still crowding outside Class F's classroom? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up by Xiao Yacha?!"

Gu Ting rolled his eyes as he watched the perfect peeping spot outside the F class's glass window being snatched up by everyone. Ignoring the pity for his dusty, worn-out shoes, he sprinted past them at top speed.

In an inconspicuous corner of Class F, Ling Mo sat quietly at his desk, took out a brand-new physics textbook from his drawer, and began to carefully flip through the pages one by one.

She automatically ignored the admiring, loving, appreciative, or jealous gazes around her, focusing as if she were the subject of a portrait painting, serene and aloof, her clear face showing no sign of unease.

This Friday, there will be a province-wide joint exam for the senior high school students.

She vaguely remembered that it was during this joint entrance examination that Ling Tian scored a high score of 704 points and was exceptionally admitted to the Intercontinental University ahead of schedule.

Last time, just like that idiot Ji Yan, she gave up the only admission spot at Intercontinental University to Ling Tian.

No matter what happens this time, she will never repeat the same mistake.

Ling Mo recalled Ling Tian's smug expression when she held the Intercontinental University admission letter, his eyes flickered slightly, and he quickened the pace of flipping through the book.

For her, the difficulty of the joint entrance exam was nothing. The reason she was carefully reviewing the textbooks was mainly because she wanted to use the theoretical knowledge she had learned in high school to prepare for the exam.

Otherwise, if she were allowed to work freely, even the person who set the exam might not be able to understand her solution process.

After the school bell rang, Li Wanwan was still savoring Ling Mo's abstinent "thank you." Her thin lips almost stretched to her ears, and even her eyes, hidden behind thick glasses, seemed to be filled with red hearts.

Oh my god...

Her pretty deskmate actually said "thank you" to her.

If word got out, the boys in her class would be green with envy.

Li Wanwan was overjoyed, and like a lovesick fool, she stared at Ling Mo's exceptionally handsome profile with a distracted gaze.

A perfect head shape, a moderately high crown, a straight yet delicate nose, and well-defined, moist lips... you can never get tired of looking at her.

After Ling Mo finished reading a book, he finally noticed Li Wanwan's gaze.

She turned her head away, her voice as cold as ever:

Have you seen enough?

"ah..."

Li Wanwan guiltily looked away and buried her head under the desk, like a little quail that couldn't lay an egg.

Looking at the exceptionally cute Li Wanwan, Ling Mo suddenly felt an urge to pet the kitten.

The next instant, she indeed reached out her devilish hand, ruffled Li's soft, curly hair, and asked with a smile:

"Pay attention in class, what's so interesting about me?"

"You're beautiful! You're incredibly beautiful."

Li Wanwan looked up, her bright eyes sparkling like stars. "Classmate, when you're reading seriously, you're absolutely mesmerizing. You don't know, in just over ten minutes, I was captivated by your looks several times."

"Is it as exaggerated as you say?"

Ling Mo asked casually, then began flipping through the brand-new chemistry textbook.

Just then, Xiao Yingying, the homeroom teacher of Class F, who had just broken through the crowd of people outside the classroom, slammed the classroom door shut with a "bang".

Covered in sweat after being jostled by boys from another class, Xiao Yingying was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it when she happened to catch a glimpse of two people whispering in a corner, and she instantly exploded.

She grabbed half a piece of chalk from the teacher's desk and threw it at Ling Mo's forehead with a "whoosh".

"You've got some nerve, daring to chat in my class?"

"Especially you, Ling Mo! You got zero in all subjects and still don't know how to study hard. You're dragging down the class average. You're a useless burden."
