For the next three days, Lin Chen's class became the talk of the town. Love letters, flowers, and gifts poured in from various classes and through various channels, causing the school's small shop to sell out of mail. This phenomenon made the boys in the class very nervous, while the girls were extremely jealous.

Although Lin Ruoyan was a goddess-level figure, she was still a teacher, so the students were somewhat hesitant. Ning Jiaqi, however, was a new transfer student, making her an easier target for their affections.

By the third day, the vice class monitor, skateboarding prodigy Che Yulin, finally couldn't hold back any longer and launched his offensive, taking the initiative to strike up a conversation. Che Yulin was a rich second-generation who was good at skateboarding and quite dashing. Although his academic performance was average, he was popular and wealthy, and many girls liked him.

On weekdays, he often receives love letters from girls in other classes. Although he wouldn't say all the girls in his class have feelings for him, most of them do.

Even his former deskmate, Cai Xiaokun, seemed to have secretly written him a love letter... Yet, this almost perfect person has now launched an offensive against Ning Jiaqi.

"Jiaqi, I think we could try dating—" Che Yulin leaned against Ning Jiaqi's desk and suggested casually. He had just performed an amazing skateboarding stunt, winning thunderous applause!

Unfortunately, Ning Jiaqi didn't give such a near-perfect person any special treatment. She ignored his advances, refused his love letters, and threw away his gifts. Finally, she even resorted to her trump card—

"Squad Leader Che, if you want to date me, you should ask my deskmate if he'll approve first—"

Lin Chen, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly became the focus of the entire audience!

Che Yulin was speechless for a moment, and asked in confusion, "What does my relationship with you have to do with Lin Chen?"

"What do you think?" Ning Jiaqi deliberately raised the corners of her mouth and gave Lin Chen a warm smile.

That smile was like a powder keg ignited, causing Che Yulin's old and new grudges to erupt instantly!

"You bastard Lin Chen, you beat up my brother, cheated me out of my money, and now you want to steal my girl?!" Che Yulin was furious.

Lin Chen felt somewhat innocently dragged into this. Although he did have a good impression of Ning Jiaqi, her blatant attempt to provoke conflict was truly unethical!

Che Yulin continued his attack: "Don't you already have our new teacher Wang? What are you trying to take from me!"

Lin Chen almost coughed up blood!

"Oh? Squad Leader Che, what do you mean by this?" Ning Jiaqi asked, intrigued.

"Jiaqi, you don't know, do you? Our homeroom teacher, Ms. Wang, is actually Lin Chen's girlfriend!" Che Yulin said smugly.

"Really? Is that even possible?!" Ning Jiaqi laughed so hard she almost fell over.

Lin Chen had never been so speechless! Ever since Lin Ruoyan arrived, he had never given her a kind look, always clashing with her. How did things get so far, from arguing to becoming her girlfriend?! How could this rumor be so outrageous?!

Ning Jiaqi moved closer to Lin Chen and laughed, "Lin Chen, I didn't expect you to be so amazing? You can even handle your own teacher? That's impressive!"

"Don't listen to their nonsense!" Lin Chen's face turned almost green.

Che Yulin, however, was determined to completely destroy Lin Chen's image in Ning Jiaqi's mind, and continued to add fuel to the fire: "Nonsense? Hmph, Lin Chen, that day a classmate saw with their own eyes that Teacher Wang dragged you into the girls' restroom, and then ten minutes later, you came out first, and Teacher Wang came out later, disheveled and with a red face! You still dare to deny it?"

Lin Chen was speechless.

"Hahahaha! You dare to do *that* in the women's restroom in broad daylight? And only for ten minutes? Lin Chen, you're so short-lived—" Ning Jiaqi was already laughing so hard she was doubled over.

Lin Chen had already stood up, ready to fight Che Yulin! This skateboarding kid was really going too far!

However, his classmates were already laughing and jeering him. Even his roommate, Li Kui, was starting to turn against him!

"Lin Chen, did you really do *that* with Teacher Wang? You're such a jerk! You know I like her, and you still stole her from me!" Black Whirlwind Li Kui roared.

Just as Lin Chen was about to explain, Cai Xiaokun leaned in again: "Wow, Lin Chen, you're amazing! You managed to subdue that bitch! Quick, tell me the details..."

After finally calming the discussions, Lin Chen felt his voice was hoarse. Che Yulin's purpose was obvious: to ruin Lin Chen's image in Ning Jiaqi's eyes. The viciousness of her intentions was evident!

Lin Chen was also very curious. There was no one around at all when he and Lin Ruoyan were in the women's restroom that day! How did Che Yulin find out?

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something. That bitch Lin Ruoyan! She must have deliberately spread the rumor! And her purpose was the same as Che Yulin's—to ruin his reputation! There is no greater evil in the human heart than this.

However, they miscalculated, because Ning Jiaqi seemed completely unconcerned! Not only was she unconcerned, but she also appeared remarkably calm! This was because Ning Jiaqi knew the truth. Since she knew Lin Chen was the eldest son of the Lin family in Haizhou City, how could she not know the rest of their family?

"The eldest son of the prestigious Lin family has gone to such a remote school all by himself, and his second sister has immediately followed him to be his homeroom teacher! There are even rumors that the two of them are a couple? There must be a conspiracy here!" Ning Jiaqi clenched her small fists and muttered to herself.

Lin Chen didn't have time to confront Lin Ruoyan, because the first diagnostic test was just around the corner. During the math test, Lin Chen initially wanted to try it out on his own.

But he didn't last long before he got stuck, because studying and taking exams had never been his strong suit. The conditions at the orphanage were too poor, and even after he came to the Lin family and attended a good school, he still couldn't compete with those exam machines.

Looking at the amount I've completed, failing is a minor issue compared to the sheer embarrassment of handing it in. In the past, it wouldn't have mattered; I'm used to being embarrassed...

But not now! Leaving aside Lin Ruoyan and Che Yulin's presence, Lin Chen absolutely cannot allow them to look down on him. And this Princess Ning beside him, his future "chief wife," is even more important—he cannot be underestimated by her!

To save face, Lin Chen had no choice but to resort to his second plan—cheating—by activating his Insight Technique. It just so happened that Ning Jiaqi, Cai Xiaokun, and others were assigned to the same exam room as him.

Lin Chen already knew that Cai Xiaokun, despite being a cross-dressing pretty boy, actually had pretty good grades and was a role model for him.
