At Mingde, no boy could refuse Lin Han's invitation—last time, a boy searched for a full twenty minutes in the rain in the bushes to help her retrieve books that had fallen from upstairs, and that incident is still a hot topic on the campus forum.
Of course, although the item was eventually found, all I got was a simple "thank you," and that was it.
The girls looked at Lin Han, then at themselves, and wisely refrained from inviting her again. Even the girls from the wealthiest families in the class did the same; they had no chance of winning against Lin Han.
Gu Luo was also taken aback for a moment, then reacted and nodded to Lin Han, his tone somewhat relaxed: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
It would be best if they could help us out of this predicament.
He stood up, finally breaking free from the girls' encirclement, and followed behind the smiling Yang Huihui and the somewhat complicated Lin Han, together with Shen Qingling.
As soon as Gu Luo stepped out of Class 8, Grade 2, he heard light footsteps behind him, accompanied by a crisp shout: "Hey bro! I'm here!"
He turned around and saw Gu Ximan jogging towards him, her light brown ponytail swinging merrily behind her, her cheeks flushed with a healthy pink from running.
But when she ran up to him and her gaze swept over Lin Han next to Gu Luo, the smile on her face seemed to be paused, freezing for a moment, and she even paused in her steps.
Gu Ximan was screaming inwardly: No way? Where did this stunning beauty come from?
She exudes a pure, ethereal aura, with her curved eyebrows and gentle, delicate demeanor—is she serious?
Biluoshu Ning looks even more like a "little white flower"!
Subconsciously, she moved closer to Gu Luo, gently nudged his waist with her elbow, and looked at him with a questioning gaze that seemed to say, "Why are you attracting attention again?"
“This is my younger sister, Gu Ximan,”
Gu Luo smiled and ruffled Gu Ximan's hair, then turned to Lin Han and Yang Huihui, "These two are my new classmates, Lin Han and Yang Huihui."
Yang Huihui waved enthusiastically: "You're Gu Luo's sister! How adorable!"
Lin Han gave Gu Ximan a gentle smile and said softly, "Hello, I'm Lin Han."
This smile made Gu Ximan even more flustered—oh no, even his smile is so gentle, that brat is most susceptible to this!
The five of them walked together toward the cafeteria, and as soon as they stepped onto the stone path in front of the teaching building, they became the focus of the entire school.
The students on the roadside stopped in their tracks, their eyes fixed on them like spotlights.
The girls stared at Shen Qingling's flamboyance and Lin Han's gentleness, then looked at themselves, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
The boys stared at Gu Luo, who was surrounded by three beautiful women, their eyes practically overflowing with envy.
Putting everything else aside, Lin Han is the school beauty of our school!
She is a fairy who can only be admired from afar and not touched!
It's only the first day, and they're already having dinner together?
Is this what modeling is?
Throughout the journey, only Yang Huihui's voice never stopped.
She pointed to the camphor trees by the roadside and said, "These trees are a symbol of Mingde; they're especially cool in the summer!"
A moment later, she introduced to Gu Luo, "There's a terrace on the third floor of the cafeteria. You can see the playground while you're eating, and lots of people go there to grab a seat!"
Gu Luo occasionally responded with a "hmm" or "pretty good." Shen Qingling leaned against Gu Luo's side, casually looking at the notice board on the roadside. Lin Han walked on the outermost side, occasionally amused by Yang Huihui's words, and softly hummed in agreement.
Gu Ximan had no interest in listening to any of this. She followed Gu Luo on the other side, her eyes never leaving Shen Qingling.
One moment he'd glare at her fiercely, the next he'd mouth words to her silently—the meaning in his eyes was crystal clear: you little madwoman, you're a complete waste!
I told you to keep an eye on my stinky brother, and now I've brought back another love rival!
Shen Qingling naturally noticed Gu Ximan's gaze, but ignored it.
Even when facing Lin Han, she remained confident.
The group soon arrived at the cafeteria.
It was lunchtime, and the cafeteria was bustling with noise, filled with the aromas of various dishes.
They lined up at the most popular self-service food window, where braised pork belly glistened with oil, stir-fried broccoli was crisp and green, and golden fried chicken legs were piled up like a small mountain.
Gu Luo casually placed the largest chicken leg on Gu Ximan's plate, which calmed Gu Ximan down a little, but she still didn't let her guard down.
After getting their food, the five of them found a corner by the window to sit down.
Gu Ximan picked at the rice in her bowl. The taste was actually not bad, and the braised pork was tender and flavorful, but she had no appetite at all—her chopsticks were poking at the rice, but her eyes kept sneaking glances at Lin Han across from her.
