C7 You Are Really a Country Bumpkin Lin Qianqian!!

Isn't that Lin Qianqian's spot, the one nobody wants?

In their class of 43 students, no one wanted to sit next to Lin Qianqian, so she had a desk all to herself. Su Hao, the class clown, widened his eyes in disbelief and, after a moment of shock, exclaimed loudly, "Lin Qianqian?? Is that really you, the one everyone calls a bumpkin?!"

Lin Qianqian lazily lifted her gaze to glance at Su Hao, her lips curling slightly. Her voice was soft yet dripping with sarcasm, "What’s the matter, Su Hao? Have you gone blind?"

Su Hao: ...

I just got roasted by the girl everyone admires, and oddly, it feels kind of nice.

Ignoring the stunned and incredulous looks from her classmates, Lin Qianqian calmly opened her backpack, took out her English textbook, and began to silently recite. In her past life, she was aware of how these people mocked her, but she only cared about winning over Lu Yuchen. For him, she ignored everyone else's opinions. Once, she even got into a fight with Su Hao because of his teasing in the restroom.

That incident led to a major reprimand from the school, warning her that if she didn’t change her ways, she’d be expelled. Later, under Lin Qingqing's influence, she dropped out of school altogether, focusing solely on pleasing Lu Yuchen. But their marriage only worsened, ending in tragedy.

Now, given a second chance, she wouldn't be so easily swayed. If her appearance could change how people perceived her, why not use it to her advantage?

Seeing Lin Qianqian engrossed in her studies left everyone dumbfounded. When the homeroom teacher arrived, she was momentarily taken aback by Lin Qianqian’s presence. As a teacher, she knew Lin Qianqian’s true potential from her records and was surprised by her normal appearance today. As the English teacher, seeing Lin Qianqian earnestly studying her textbook brought a sense of relief.

At 7:40 AM, the morning reading session ended, and the students headed to the field for morning exercises. The first class began promptly at 8:00 AM.

Some of the boys gathered around Qingqing, asking, "Qingqing, your sister is so pretty, why does she always dress so plainly?" At Dicheng High School, classes are randomly assigned to ensure fairness, mixing top students with those who struggle. Many students had known Qianqian since freshman year, but she had always dressed like a country bumpkin.

Qingqing couldn't understand how Qianqian suddenly had a change of heart and started looking like her true self, instantly stealing the spotlight as the class beauty. Hearing the boys praise her sister's looks made her fume with jealousy, and her expression darkened. "Why don't you ask her yourself?" she snapped.

The boys: ...

The first two classes of the morning were English. After arriving, the teacher began by checking on the previous day's memorization assignment.

"Miaomiao, recite 'The Red Cliff Ode,'" the teacher called on group leader Qin Miaomiao first.

Miaomiao stood up and recited two paragraphs before stopping. "Teacher, I... I only memorized up to here."

The teacher frowned slightly. "As usual, you can pick someone to help you finish. If you both manage to recite it, you pass. If not, you'll each write it out ten times."

Miaomiao glanced around the class, finally fixing her gaze on Qianqian in the back row, a mischievous smile on her face. She had always looked down on Qianqian, considering her a blight on the class. Today, she had a plan: if the teacher called on her, she'd pretend to forget the rest and drag Qianqian up with her. Surely, this underachiever wouldn't be able to recite a single line, turning her into a laughingstock!
