Speaking of the first class, although the homeroom teacher, Mr. Feng, was not exactly fashionable, like many middle-aged men who were balding, he tried to use his hairstyle to cover up his rapidly decreasing hair volume and hide the bald patch in the middle of his head.
Putting his image aside, he's actually a fairly responsible teacher. On the first day of school, he gave a long, routine lecture, blah blah blah...
Although Lin Zhihan's attention was entirely focused on her new deskmate the whole time.
Ling Yan turned his head and looked back at her tenderly with his captivating amber eyes.
Lin Zhihan lowered her head shyly, but after a while she couldn't help but look up at him again, confirming she was a devoted fan.
Even Ming Xiaoxiao, who sat at the desk behind Lin Zhihan, couldn't bear to watch.
"Watch out, Hanhan, your eyes are about to pop out! The teacher is looking over here!" As Lin Zhihan's best friend, Ming Xiaoxiao felt obligated to remind her that her drool was almost dripping down her chin.
Goodness, you're totally bewitched! She was wondering why she suddenly stopped wanting to be with her group of girlfriends; apparently, she's fallen in love!
Ming Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hand, looking at the transfer student's crush right in front of her. She thought to herself, "This guy is no pushover." Looking around, she realized that she was surrounded by stalkers, both girls and boys.
Tsk tsk tsk~
Her best friend, Hanhan, is going to make an enemy of the entire Class 1!
Amen, and best of luck!
Ming Xiaoxiao made the sign of the cross for her best friend in front of her.
Lin Zhihan caught a glimpse of her best friend praying for her out of the corner of her eye, and rolled her eyes in exasperation.
Just then, her crush caught her gaze as he followed her.
Lin Zhihan's eyes narrowed awkwardly.
I buried my face in my arms, how embarrassing!
A dull Chinese class ended with the homeroom teacher's opening address.
As the bell rang, transfer student Ling Ling walked into the classroom, turning the black necklace ring around his neck.
Ling Yan then received a message from Ling Chaoyue.
"She's in Class 10, and she's good friends with the Qin family, the Ming family, and your eldest daughter."
You have a very good chance of meeting.
Do I need to do anything to temporarily transfer her away?
"No need," Ling Yan replied.
"Congratulations! You'll have the chance to meet your cousin at noon."
"Um."
Tch, Lingling went back to her seat to catch up on her sleep.
As a result, I couldn't sleep because someone was staring at me, and suddenly when I looked up, I met a baby face.
The unspoken message behind the "cute yet fierce" look: What are you looking at!
"Hi! Hello, I'm Ye Yunran~" Ye 2 greeted his fellow traveler who had also set his sights on this prime seat.
"Yan Ze"
After introducing himself, Ling Ling slumped back onto his desk and fell asleep. One class, two classes… it wasn't until lunchtime, when he groggily got up under the adoring gaze of his deskmate Ye, who had a baby face, and wandered over to the second row, next to Ling Yan's seat, and tapped on his desk.
"What should we eat for lunch?" Ling Ling's lazy demeanor was simply unbelievable; school was more comfortable than home for him.
All he does is sleep and eat.
Ye Yunran tiptoed over, tilted her head to look at Lin Zhihan, and gestured with her eyes to her extraordinary deskmate.
Their eyes met, and Lin Zhihan nodded to him.
Then Ye Yunran stared wide-eyed as he re-examined this hero who dared to scoop bullets out with his bare hands.
This is a disguise technique.
That's amazing!
Ye Yunran gave Lin Zhihan a thumbs up.
As a result, Ming Xiaoxiao punched his shoulder hard.
What are you doing!
"Flirting in public is prohibited!"
"Screw you!" Ye Yunran patted his shoulder dismissively. "Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"
If you touch me again, I'll call the police.
Ming Xiaoxiao's lips twitched, and she rolled her eyes at him out of nowhere.
He's definitely single by choice!
Even if you're good-looking, it's all for nothing.
"Come on, Hanhan, let's go to Yishidang for some Zhajiangmian!"
"You little tagalongs aren't allowed to follow!" Ming Xiaoxiao said, her words carrying a hidden meaning.
"Mind your own business~" Ye Yunran swaggered behind Lin Zhihan, casually inviting the big shot:
"Yan Zheng, want to join us?" Ye Yunran winked, extending a friendly invitation to the two big shots beside her.
"Okay." Ling Yan was always very polite.
"Ah~~~ yawn" It was clear that Ling Ling wasn't fully awake yet, and was just instinctively following Ling Yan's side.
As expected, the roads parted automatically wherever they passed, eliciting gasps of surprise.
Ling Ling was driven crazy by the noise, and rubbed her sleepy eyes:
"Aren't the girls at this international high school a bit too enthusiastic?"
"Even in this state, they're still screaming!"
“It’s not just me.” Ling Yan gestured for Ling Ling to look at the three o’clock direction. A shy and cute girl timidly ran up to Ling Ling and handed him a pink envelope.
Ling Ling, her face expressionless: ...
Ling Yan chuckled softly and quickened his pace to catch up with his girlfriend.
We arrived at the first canteen.
Lin Zhihan's group of four best friends have all arrived.
Sure enough, the tallest girl was Ling Chaoyue, a slender 1.72 meters tall, and Ling Yan's cousin.
The three children in Uncle 2's family are actually not much different from Ling Yan.
Ling Kun and Ling Yan are both his second aunt's sons, with Ling Kun being three months younger than him.
Identical twins.
However, Ling Yan was the younger brother and was naturally weak, so he always hid behind Ling Kun.
He had a gloomy and world-weary look.
Ling Chaoyue was brought back by her second uncle, Ling Xiaofeng. According to him, her second aunt was originally pregnant with triplets, but the youngest daughter was the lightest and had been kept in an incubator.
They only brought it home after confirming it was alive.
My aunt, who's usually so shrewd, actually believed it so easily.
They were deeply moved by this.
She doted on her youngest daughter even more than she loved her youngest son.
But clearly, the reality is not as simple as Ling Xiaofeng described.
As we get older.
Ling Chaoyue looks as healthy as Ling Kun, and doesn't seem like someone who was underweight at birth and almost didn't survive.
Therefore, the shrewd Ling Teng'an specifically investigated his youngest son's family affairs.
The inside story was discovered: Ling Chaoyue was actually Ling Xiaofeng's illegitimate daughter.
Before his second uncle and second aunt married, he had a woman he loved very much. However, he wanted to seize power and accepted the arranged marriage.
That woman later left Ling Xiaofeng, but he later found her again.
She even bore him a daughter, who was taken back to the Ling family by him and became a bargaining chip for Ling 2 to control his mistresses.
Ling Ling overheard this by chance.
Now it comes in handy.
It is still unclear whether Ling Chaoyue is aware of her past.
However, it's clear that something like this can't be kept secret forever.
It's like a time bomb, ready to explode at Uncle's house at any moment.
Ling Yan smiled slightly.
With the fire in my second uncle's backyard, I lost all interest in dealing with him.
As for his cousin
As long as she doesn't come near him, he's happy to play the part of a brother and sister.
A group of people arrived at the first canteen one after the other.
The junior high school cafeterias at Fancheng International School are separate from the senior high school cafeterias. Cafeterias 1-4 belong to the junior high school, and cafeterias 5-8 belong to the senior high school.
Lin Zhihan and her group of girlfriends went to the first canteen.
Ming Xiaoxiao suggested eating noodles with soybean paste, and the other three girls had no objections.
"Hello!
"Ming Xiaoxiao, who's that handsome guy behind us?" Ling Chaoyue, as the eldest sister of the group of best friends, felt that the person behind her looked familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Qin Zixian glanced back shyly, then quickly turned back around, her face visibly turning red, her ears perking up as she listened to Ming Xiaoxiao explain the information about this handsome guy who had fallen from the sky.
"Ah~, a transfer student, I guess." Ming Xiaoxiao yawned.
Then she immediately added, "Don't worry about it. This boy belongs to Hanhan. You just didn't see the two of them."
It was their first meeting, but their eyes were practically locked in a passionate gaze.
"Isn't that right, Zhihan?" Ming Xiaoxiao nudged Lin Zhihan's shoulder, teasing her with a smile.
Lin Zhihan laughed and went to hit Ming Xiaoxiao.
After the two ran a distance, Ling Chaoyue nudged Qin Zixian's shoulder: "What, you've got your eye on someone too?"
Qin Zixian's face paled, and she stamped her foot shyly.
"Don't talk nonsense~" Then she covered her face and chased after the two in front of her.
"Tsk~" Ling Chaoyue glanced at Ling Yan again, and then their eyes met.
Ling Yan gave her a harmless smile.
Ling Chaoyue's face also turned pale.
I have a feeling I've been warned.
Hold!
Ling Chaoyue quickened her pace to catch up with her girlfriends.
These two new transfer students, why do they look so much like her older brothers?
They all looked like they had stepped out of hell on earth.
Could it be that they were also trained by the Ling family?
What are they doing at the international high school?
Ling Chaoyue became more cautious and decided to investigate these two people thoroughly in the future.
We entered the first canteen.
Lin Zhihan, Ming Xiaoxiao, Qin Zixian, and Ling Chaoyue sat at a table. At Xiaoxiao's urging, all four ordered a bowl of the cafeteria's signature fried noodles.
The noodles are chewy and the topping is sweet and delicious; one bite and your taste buds are completely awakened.
The four young girls fell silent, completely absorbed in the delicious taste of the jajangmyeon (noodles with soybean paste).
For a moment, the four girls, each with their own unique appearance, were all focused on eating the noodles in their bowls, creating a very peaceful atmosphere.
This made Ling Yan and Ling Ling, who followed behind, somewhat puzzled. Was this noodle really that delicious?
While the two were still wondering, Ye Yunran had already gone to the window for the noodles with soybean paste to join the queue.
The Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) at the No. 1 canteen was a dark horse that emerged last semester, and its deliciousness is comparable to that of a Michelin-starred restaurant in the school canteen.
Many senior high school students travel long distances to queue up just for this, so what are you waiting for?
Hurry up and get your food!
Ye Yunran took it upon himself to order two large portions of Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) for his transfer student friend, and even added two eggs.
This is his usual way of eating.
A large bowl of noodles with two braised eggs.
So when the two big shots finally decided to try the noodles with soybean paste, Ye Yunran was already waving happily at them:
"here!
I've already ordered for you all, come and get yours."
Ye Yunran beamed with delight, looking at Ling Yan with a smug expression, as if to say, "Praise me! Praise me!"
Facing Ye 2, who was beaming with excitement and begging for praise like a puppy, Ling Yan smiled faintly and said very politely:
Thanks.
"No need, no need! I'll save you seats, just come over in a bit~"
Ye 2, beaming with pride after receiving the praise, carried away a large bowl of noodles with soybean paste.
"He's the Ye family's genius surgeon who performed your operation," Ling Ling said, raising an eyebrow, deeply worried about Ye Yunran's pathetic appearance. Ling Yan recruited him, and he looked so different from Ling Changqing!
"There's a misunderstanding. Shengshou is his brother, and Ye 2 is an art student studying painting."
Ling Ling:......
One dares to treat, and the other dares to trust; I've learned my lesson.
Ling Yan and Ling Ling each brought a large bowl of noodles with soybean paste to Ye Yunran's table, and sure enough, the first canteen was full in no time.
The place was bustling with noise; the window where they had just bought noodles with soybean paste was already packed with people.
Meanwhile, the four girls at the next table had almost finished their noodles.
Only Lin Zhihan kept glancing at Ling Yan's table, and every time their eyes met, the two would exchange a knowing smile.
Ming Xiaoxiao, who had finally finished her noodles and was patting her belly while looking around, noticed her.
"Oh my god, is that enough? Otherwise, let the handsome guy sit here, and I'll give him my seat!" Ming Xiaoxiao shouted exaggeratedly.
Qin Zixian also looked in Ling Yan's direction upon hearing this.
She glanced at him, then blushed and lowered her head again.
Our young master Ling leisurely got up, took a braised egg from his bowl, put it on a small plate, and then carried it over to Lin Zhihan.
"Here, have this." The tall boy bowed personally.
"Thank you." Lin Zhihan blushed with secret delight.
Those around them were so shocked that their mouths were agape.
Only after the handsome guy returned to his seat did Ming Xiaoxiao manually close her mouth, exclaiming in a low voice:
"Hanhan, you two really talked?"
You guys, you guys~~~
"This is puppy love!" Ming Xiaoxiao's voice dropped even lower for the last two words.
International secondary schools also discourage underage dating. Even if they can't control it, they explicitly prohibit it.
So, let's talk about openly and brazenly showing off our love in public~~~
It's not that big, but it's not that small either.
If someone reports you to the school, you'll inevitably face a demerit, a written self-criticism, and a public notice.
But she was, after all, the daughter of one of the four most powerful families.
People will think twice before reporting someone, just like this Yan Zheng and Yan Ze whose origins are unknown.
Although the Yan family seems to have no connection to Fancheng, the aura emanating from those two people is so unlike that of students.
There's also Lin Zhihan and Ye Yunran's attitude towards the Yan family's transfer student brothers.
It is also highly suspicious.
"Zhihan, tell me honestly, did you two know each other a long time ago?" Ming Xiaoxiao, transforming into Sherlock Holmes, posed a probing question to Miss Xiaolin.
Lin Zhihan said somewhat shyly, "We met during summer sketching trips, and he's my boyfriend."
"Clang!"
"Sorry, sorry," Qin Zixian said in a flustered manner, repeatedly apologizing after knocking over the dishes.
"Zi Xian, are you alright?" Ling Chaoyue asked, looking at her with concern.
Qin Zixian shook her head, but her face was even paler than before.
My fingers were also scratched by shards of food.
"I'll take her to the infirmary to treat her wound." Ling Chaoyue stood up, grabbed the bewildered Qin Zixian, and said to the two girls beside her:
"I'll take her first, you guys enjoy your meal."
Lin Zhihan stared blankly at the suddenly distraught Miss Qin, and said to Ming Xiaoxiao:
"she……"
"What do you mean 'her'? It's you who's here!"
She actually got a boyfriend!
Do you know their background?
Is he a good person? Does he have any violent tendencies?
Is he clean? How many girlfriends has he dated?
He has had several romantic relationships.
Was it love at first sight or lust at first sight?
"Go sketch some life, and you might just have a romantic encounter!" Now that Ming Xiaoxiao had finished eating, she was in the mood to scold the carefree brat across from her.
That guy looked like someone you didn't want to mess with; he didn't look like a student at all, and the one next to him even more so.
There was an indescribable sense of danger.
"My darling Hanhan~"
"What's wrong?" Ling Yan asked earnestly, looking into Lin Zhihan's eyes as he walked over with his tray after the two girls left.
Ming Xiaoxiao immediately fell silent.
Lin Zhihan then replied, "Oh, Zixian accidentally hurt her hand just now, and Chaoyue accompanied her to the infirmary."
Ling Yan stopped asking questions and instead turned her attention to Lin Zhihan across from her:
"Eat the eggs, you're too thin."
"Pfft~" Ming Xiaoxiao covered her mouth: "Sorry, don't mind it, I choked on the air."
"Cough cough cough~" Then he quickly turned away and moved to Ye Yunran's table.
Ling Ling glanced up at Ming Xiaoxiao, then continued eating her noodles.
Ming Xiaoxiao, unable to tolerate this, could only mutter her complaints to Ye Yunran, who was diagonally opposite her:
"Oh dear, Ye 2, I'm blind! He actually said Hanhan is too thin and told her to eat more eggs!"
"Oh, is it your problem that couples are having such little romantic moments?"
"Slurp slurp~" Ye 2 was eating noodles without any regard for appearances.
Ming Xiaoxiao washed her eyes as she looked at Ling Ling, the transfer student opposite her.
This guy eats with such elegance.
They're both 'ordinary' handsome guys, so why is there such a big difference in how they eat?
Look at this guy~
"What are you looking at?"
Ming Xiaoxiao: ……
Even though no one said anything, she still felt warned, a chilling feeling that spread throughout her body.
Ming Xiaoxiao obediently turned to Ye 2's side again.
My eyes hurt from looking at it.
Pink bubbles were already floating above Lin Zhihan's table.
Lin Zhihan ate the braised egg her boyfriend had lovingly prepared for her in small bites, feeling incredibly happy.
Ling Yan was also very happy. He hadn't seen Lin Zhihan for over a month, and he had made a lot of preparations to spend time with her.
He used the last trump card the old man had left him.
The two of them would occasionally look up at each other, their presence lighting up the entire sky above the No. 1 canteen.
Ling Ling moved the black ring around her neck and sent a message to Ling Yan:
"The head of student affairs will be patrolling around the corner in 30 seconds. If you don't want to be caught dating on your first day at your new school and get a public reprimand, come back right now."
Ling Yan paused in his eating, looked up at Lin Zhihan, and whispered:
"The head of student affairs is on patrol, so I'm going back. I need to finish all the eggs."
Ming Xiaoxiao was swapped back without her soul and soon saw the old hag, the head teacher, walking towards them from directly opposite.
Holy crap! That was an amazing prediction!
Ming Xiaoxiao, without a soul, accompanied Lin Zhihan after lunch to the school clinic to see Qin Zixian.
They were told that the two had already returned to their dorm.
International secondary schools operate on a voluntary accommodation system. Because they are elite schools, dormitory rooms are mostly shared by two people, and accommodation is entirely voluntary.
They may even have the freedom to choose their roommates.
Commuting is also acceptable.
The school has a 2-hour lunch break, and classes resume at 2:00 PM.
The degree of freedom is quite high.
Although Lin Zhihan and Ming Xiaoxiao did not live on campus, they applied for a girls' dormitory room for convenience, which was room 301 on the third floor of dormitory building 1.
The two of them didn't want to go home at noon, so they would eat in the cafeteria and then go back to their dorm to chat for a while.
But it was clear that Lin Zhihan wasn't in the mood for that today.
She wants to go on a date with her younger boyfriend.
Although the lunch break was short, they hadn't seen each other for over a month.
During class, they could only exchange glances occasionally, and they had to avoid the teachers of each subject while also listening to lectures and taking notes...
He sighed inwardly.
Lin Zhihan dismissed Ming Xiaoxiao, and under Ming Xiaoxiao's disapproving gaze, walked to the north gate of the international high school and sent a message to Ling Yan:
Are you free now?
"Um, where are you?"
"I'm at the North Gate."
See you in a bit.
Lin Zhihan couldn't stop smiling as she waited for her boyfriend while casually scrolling through her phone.
The smile in her eyes was almost overflowing.
Five minutes later, Ling Yan, dressed in a white shirt, blue tie, and dark blue trousers, walked out of the school.
Uniform fetish!
These words suddenly popped into Lin Zhihan's mind.
If Ling Ling's figure is close to perfect, then Ling Yan's figure is truly perfect.
As upright as bamboo, as noble as pine. As pure and cool as snow on a high mountain, as mysterious as a mountain spirit.
The boy arrived bathed in sunlight.
His melancholic amber eyes, ascetic air, and youthful, clean smile instantly captivated Lin Zhihan.
