C6 The Entire Class Was Stunned by This Sight!

At Dicheng High School, morning reading starts at 7:20 a.m. As the best school in the city, its rules are strict, and the students are outstanding—well, except for a few, like Lin Qianqian, who stands out for all the wrong reasons.

By 7:15, most students are already in their seats. Of course, Lin Qianqian is always the exception.

"Hey, Qingqing, I heard your cousin fell off the school wall yesterday, and the school police had to call an ambulance. She probably won't be here today, right?" a boy sitting behind Lin Qingqing asked.

Finally, a break from that eyesore.

"I don't know, she might show up. It's the last semester, and if she wants to go to college, she has to put in some effort," Qingqing replied.

The classmates burst into laughter, as if they’d just heard the funniest joke. A tall boy, Su Hao, chuckled, "Lin Qianqian wants to go to college? Is she aiming for some no-name school?"

"Come on," said Qin Miaomiao, the group leader of section three, with a mischievous grin. "Even those schools want students with some potential. Lin Qianqian would probably scare the dean away!"

Qingqing pretended to defend her cousin, "Actually, my cousin is quite pretty and smart, so please don't talk about her like that."

The laughter only grew louder.

The sports committee member, Hong Mingzhe, chimed in, "Qingqing, you're such a kind soul. Calling your cousin pretty? Someone who skips class so much she doesn't even know what's in the textbook can't be smart. You don't have to defend her. I feel for you—you're so bright and talented, yet you have a sister who's a total drag."

Qingqing bit her lip, feigning indignation on her cousin's behalf, but inside, she was thrilled. Without Lin Qianqian as a comparison, her own brilliance wouldn't shine as brightly.

Ring, ring, ring... The first bell for morning reading sounded, and everyone hurried to their seats. It was about time for the teacher to enter the classroom.

Before the teacher arrived, a girl wearing their school's uniform and carrying a light blue backpack walked toward their classroom. She was slender and graceful, with fair, delicate skin, clear, bright eyes, and long, thick lashes. Her hair was styled in a cute bun, giving her an ethereal, pure look, like a campus goddess strolling down the street.

"Wow! Is she a new transfer student?" someone wondered aloud. It was early in the school year, and being in the senior class, a new student wasn't entirely unexpected.

"She's so beautiful! She's totally outshining our class beauty, Qingqing!" Hong Mingzhe exclaimed, his teenage heart already considering a change of allegiance.

"This new girl is clearly making our school beauty, Weiwei, look ordinary!"

"Quick! Someone catch me, I've been struck by the goddess's charm..." Su Hao dramatically clutched his chest, leaning toward his desk mate, Fei Qi.

Fei Qi pushed him away, frowning slightly. "Why do I feel like she looks a bit like Lin Qianqian?"

"Come on! Are you blind? Don't compare my new goddess to that country bumpkin! You're insulting my taste!" Su Hao retorted, giving Fei Qi a playful punch.

At that moment, the girl walked into their senior class, and then... she headed straight to the desk at the back and took a seat! The entire class, except for Lin Qingqing, was left in stunned silence...
