Lin Yuan didn't speak. She picked up the notebook on the table and wrote two characters, "Lin Yuan," in a blank space. Her handwriting was elegant and flowing.

She said calmly, "The 'yuan' in 'paper kite'."

Xu Feifei looked at the words on the notebook and murmured softly, "Lin Yuan." She looked at Lin Yuan's face again, but Lin Yuan wasn't looking at her; she could only see a profile. Long eyelashes, a straight nose, thin lips, a sickly pale complexion, and a melancholic air. Xu Feifei felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity looking at her face.

Xu Feifei asked suspiciously, "Lin Yuan, do you have an older brother or a younger brother?"

“Yes, I have an older brother, Lin Yuan,” Lin Yuan replied coldly again.

Upon hearing this, Xu Feifei happily said, "No wonder I feel so close to you. Your brother is my savior!"

Lin Yuan looked out the window, a slight smile playing on her lips, but said nothing.

"Where's your brother? I don't see him. Is he in another class?" Xu Feifei continued to ask when she didn't answer.

Lin Yuan said, "He doesn't study here; he's abroad."

Upon hearing this, Xu Feifei exclaimed in surprise, "He's abroad?! I just saw him three days ago."

“He came back from his holiday a few days ago, and then went abroad to continue his studies a couple of days ago.”

"Then he..." Xu Feifei was about to ask more questions, but Lin Yuan interrupted her, saying, "I need to recite my lessons now. We can talk after class."

Upon hearing this, Xu Feifei had no choice but to give up. The new book hadn't arrived yet, and she didn't want to study for the time being. So she looked around, and her gaze inadvertently fell on the male lead, who was sleeping on the table.

Her mind immediately sprang to life, filled with strategies for success. Following the typical novel formula:

The first approach is to deliver breakfast every day, showing kindness and understanding, like a confidante.

The second option is to ignore the male lead, avoid him, and criticize him. However, this method requires the protagonist's halo to be able to do it with a clear conscience. But right now, she's just a pitiful little thing, needing the male lead to get back to reality.

The third approach is to focus your efforts on areas that interest the male protagonist, surpassing him or becoming his equal.

Besides these three methods, Xu Feifei can't think of any other options for the time being. She can only temporarily combine the first and third methods to win over the male lead.

She had been thinking for too long, staring intently at Nangong Ye. Nangong Ye noticed her gaze and turned his head, and their eyes met.

Nangong Ye saw her scoff and turn away with a cold look in her eyes. At the same time, a small notebook was thrown onto the table: "64 Essential Ancient Chinese Poems for High School Students".

She turned to look at Lin Yuan, her eyes filled with confusion.

Lin Yuan said with displeasure, "Recite."

Xu Feifei was stunned for a moment, then obediently started reciting her book. What is the male lead doing? It's so strange.

After morning reading, the class started to get noisy, with students laughing and joking around.

Some students walked up to Xu Feifei and surrounded her, all with smiles on their faces, secretly nudging the people next to them, hoping to get them to ask questions.

Seeing the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Xu Feifei smiled and asked, "I'm very happy to be your new classmate. Could you all introduce yourselves? I'd like to get to know you all."

Seeing that Xu Feifei had given them a way out, everyone readily accepted, and the scene became lively.

Just then, Lin Yuan saw this and got up and walked towards the back door.

Xu Feifei watched her retreating figure, lowered her eyes for a moment, then raised her head again, tilting her head back to listen to the introduction.

After they introduced themselves one by one, one of the girls said, "Your name is so beautiful, it sounds like 'graceful as clouds' and 'feathery as rain,' Xu Feifei."

Upon hearing this, Xu Feifei was secretly delighted. This was entirely influenced by Lin Yuan; before transferring schools, she had specifically searched online, otherwise, her name would again sound like "Fei" in Chinese, making her seem less valuable and inferior to the female lead. The female lead's name is a standard feature of Mary Sue stories! She couldn't lose in terms of name.

"Thank you," Xu Feifei said to the girl after hearing this.

"Are you really the Night Prince's fiancée?" a bold girl asked, staring intently at Xu Feifei.

Xu Feifei was a little surprised that he started asking questions so quickly; she thought he would try to trick her into asking questions first!

She feigned ignorance and asked, "Who is Prince Ye? Is it Nangong Ye?"

After hearing what she said, the girls around her nodded nervously, and a few of them had a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

Xu Feifei did not answer the question immediately, but looked in the direction of Nangong Ye. Upon seeing this, the girls surrounding her made way for her.

Just then, Nangong Ye also looked over. Xu Feifei thought to herself, "The opportunity has come! The opportunity has come!" Her expression couldn't hide her excitement.

Xu Feifei thought of a trope from a novel. With what she thought was an innocent, affectionate gaze, she asked Nangong Ye, "Are they right, Brother Ye?"

After Xu Feifei finished speaking, she felt like throwing up. She called him "Brother Ye" because her mother had often teased her about it when she was in the hospital.

Unfortunately, imagination is often rich, but reality is harsh. Xu Feifei was thinking of tender affection and heart-stirring moments, but what others saw was a stiff expression and heard was a curt tone.

Seeing her like this, Nangong Ye felt displeased and said coldly, "It was just a childhood betrothal arranged by our parents." After saying that, he turned his head away and ignored her.

Xu Feifei was startled upon hearing this. She had initially thought the male lead was going to deny it. But he said something like that—wasn't he afraid the female lead would misunderstand?

After finishing speaking, he realized that he hadn't paid attention to the female lead yet, so he looked around, trying to find her.

Most of the girls who were just surrounding Xu Feifei left sadly after hearing Nangong Ye's answer, leaving only a small group behind.

A small group of people were quite disdainful, saying, "It's just a childhood betrothal."

Xu Feifei was extremely shocked. Just a moment ago, everyone was chatting happily, and in the blink of an eye, everything changed. Was this some kind of Sichuan opera face-changing act? Was the male lead really that charming? Had I become the female lead's scapegoat?

Following the typical novel formula, was I just stirring up trouble to distract others from targeting the female lead? I couldn't help but regret my actions; now was not the time to show off.

"Did you hear that? The Night Prince has a fiancée. Stop clinging to him like that."

Upon hearing this, Xu Feifei looked back and saw that the two girls were looking down on one of the girls.

The girl said stubbornly, "I didn't pester Nangong Ye. He pestered me. I have absolutely no interest in him. Not even a little bit. Even if all the men in the world died, I wouldn't have any interest in him."

The words had barely left her lips when a sharp, piercing "sizzle" sound rang out, drawing everyone's attention. Xu Feifei looked over and saw it was the male lead, who was walking out the door, suppressing his anger.

Judging from the girl's disdainful words, her face was full of stubbornness. And she had the typical Mary Sue figure and delicate, pretty face.

Based on her years of experience reading novels, Xu Feifei knew that although the female lead wasn't particularly eye-catching now, once she put on makeup, she would definitely outshine everyone and steal her position as the school beauty. At that point, her beauty and status would definitely be in jeopardy, sob sob.

After seeing Nangong Ye's actions, the girl behind him stopped making things difficult for the female lead and walked away. The female lead, however, stood there stubbornly for a moment before walking out the door with her head held high.

What's going on? Are the male and female leads still stuck in a love-hate relationship and haven't gotten to the point of romance yet? Does this mean my chances of going back are even greater? Thinking this, Xu Feifei felt even more delighted.

But how to win over the male lead next is something I really don't know how to do.

"Ring~~~" The bell rang for class. The students in the classroom slowly returned to their seats.

Xu Feifei was waiting at the door for the teacher to arrive, but before the teacher could come in, Lin Yuan and the female lead came in together.

The female lead had a slight smile on her face, and was in a pleasant mood, completely opposite to her previous state.

Xu Feifei's gaze remained fixed on the two of them until Lin Yuan sat down.

Curious, he asked her, "Was that Lin Xier who came in with you just now?"

"I don't know him."

"You don't recognize her?! I just saw her smile at you after she sat down."

"have no idea."

Xu Feifei felt helpless about Lin Yuan's answer, but there was nothing she could do; she couldn't force her to open her mouth.

After a while, the teacher came in. She wore wire-rimmed glasses, a business suit, and her hair was pulled back; she looked clean, neat, refined, and capable.

"Class, let's begin. Please turn to page 32."

Xu Feifei looked at her desk, which was neat and clean, without a single book in sight. She was shocked; she had been chatting and watching a play and had completely forgotten to go to the registrar's office to get her textbooks.

She stole a few glances at Lin Yuan's table next to her, and was just about to ask if she could look at the book together when Lin Yuan handed it to her.

Xu Feifei happily took the book, opened it to the page the teacher had been talking about, and placed it on the 38th parallel on the table.

Lin Yuan pushed the book over and said, "You can read it, I know how."

Xu Feifei said shyly, "I can't accept this! Everyone can watch it together. I don't mind."

"Really, you don't need to."

"no."

Seeing her like this, Lin Yuan stopped talking and took out her notebook to work on practice problems.

Seeing that she wasn't reading, Xu Feifei didn't take the book away either. The book remained on the 38th parallel, and she silently flipped through it by herself.

The knowledge in books isn't too different from reality; it's still the same knowledge. Xu Feifei initially thought the courses would be things like horseback riding, finance, and management!

If the result is not much different from reality, then I'm relieved; otherwise, she would definitely be in big trouble.

Xu Feifei finished a class in a daze, mainly because the teacher spoke too fast and she couldn't keep up.

She wanted to get the books now, but she figured there must be a lot of them and they would be heavy, so she would need someone to help her.

Just then, Nangong Ye walked over here. It was time to strengthen their relationship!

So she walked up to Nangong Ye and shamelessly asked, "Brother Ye, can you come with me to get the book?"

As soon as Xu Feifei finished speaking, someone next to her said, "I'll go with you."
