Tongsu pretended not to see the prying and scrutinizing gazes of those people and continued to discuss the topic in hushed tones with Yiwen.
Yiwen is the type of person who focuses on her studies and doesn't think about anything else, so naturally she didn't pay attention to other classmates.
Tongsu circled the key words in the title with her pen, but her thoughts drifted elsewhere.
She did not overlook the lingering suspicion and alienation in her classmates' eyes.
Class 8 of the Literature Department harbored deep-seated hostility towards her unintentionally. As a newcomer, she faced rejection from her classmates. If she was too soft-hearted, she would be bullied; if she was too hard-hearted, she would just fit the description of "arrogant and domineering" in the forum, which would only provoke their dislike.
Therefore, why not use a "deception" tactic? First, conceal your identity to enter the classroom and have an initial interaction with the students. Once everyone has a good impression of you, then reveal your identity. The obstacles you encounter will naturally be smaller.
Just as they applauded her in a daze, full of doubt and confusion, to express their welcome.
But the students' unintentional welcome was just a reaction to their great shock, and Tong Su didn't expect that one meeting would completely change their impression of her.
Therefore, she was not saddened at all when her classmates in Class 8 were still "suspicious and distant" towards her.
Before Tongsu arrived, she carefully considered the situation in Class 8. She realized that truly gaining the students' acceptance wasn't actually that difficult:
In each class, there are one or more highly respected "authorities." Some may be academic geniuses who command respect, while others may be "class bullies" who use force to intimidate others. The majority of the other students are more willing to "follow the will of the people."
As long as she can befriend the class bully who commands everyone in the class, the difficulties she faces will naturally cease to be a problem.
In Class 8 of the second year of high school, there are two such "authorities".
The first authority was Xue Yu.
She's the class monitor, the academic genius, and the class heartthrob—a guy girls like and boys respect. It's not hard to be friends with someone like that. The real challenge is getting someone as proud as her to truly consider her a friend.
Tong Su was still thinking about what to do, but to her surprise, after she arrived at the school, Xue Yu had been showing her kindness, whether it was when she picked up her books at the academic affairs office or after she entered the classroom.
It wasn't veiled care—she wasn't some Mary Sue everyone loved—but rather a kind of care that seemed to contain five parts curiosity, three parts doubt, and two parts apprehension, as if she were a relative of some important person, and he was wary of that important person, so he took care of her out of affection for her.
However, according to the plot information, the original owner and Xue Yu had no relationship whatsoever!
Tong Su couldn't figure it out for a moment, so she shook her head and stopped thinking about it. If there was a problem, it would be exposed sooner or later, so there was no need to rush.
The focus now should be on the first authority.
Luo Ziqing.
Luo Ziqing is a girl, but she is undoubtedly a typical class bully.
—And he's also a class bully who rules the class by force.
Luo Ziqing, known as Sister Luo, has been practicing martial arts since elementary school. She holds a fourth-degree black belt in Taekwondo and is a provincial runner-up in Sanda. She has a fiery temper and is Xue Yu's childhood sweetheart. She has been in love with Xue Yu for a long time, and the whole grade knows that she is eyeing him covetously.
When Luo was in junior high school, she heard that some thugs outside the school were extorting classmates. So she deliberately wore gold and silver jewelry and went around the streets and alleys to "entrap" them.
After the thugs successfully took the bait and tried to extort money from her, she smiled coldly and beat them until they knelt down and begged for mercy, forcing them to turn themselves in to the police station.
This battle made her famous, and from then on, Luo Ziqing became a renowned and prestigious leader throughout the school.
