Since the principal had personally vouched for the boy, the form teacher could do nothing about this student and his curt introduction. The teacher could only smile and say, “Rong Si doesn’t like to talk. Maybe it’s because he’s new here and won’t be used to it for a while. As classmates, you have to take
care of him and welcome him to your class, okay?”
“Okay!” the girls answered especially loudly.
Rong Si walked off to the back of the classroom. On the way, he noticed a boy dressed like a hooligan sitting in the corner. The boy moved to hide the cigarette in his hand and glared at him.
Rong Si schooled his expression, looking straight ahead as he sat down in his seat.
The boy with the cigarette was part of a small group of students. They had gathered in the corner, and they were all looking at Rong Si now. Meanwhile, Rong Si impassively looked back at them as if he was rejecting them. They sneered. “Yo, this transfer student looks quite arrogant, huh?”
“Does he think he’s better than us? Let’s teach him a lesson!”
“This pretty boy…. Look at all the girls in class. They’re all thirsting after him now.”
Rong Si sat in a single seat by the window. After sitting down, he took out his textbook and turned to look out the window.
The school garden was right outside. From this angle, he could see the school gate, the road, and… another school not far away.
The European-style red and white steeple-shaped building of that school was exceptionally luxurious and eye-catching. It was a stark contrast to the building he was in, which looked like it had been built in the 1980s.
That school was an international private school, and its tuition fees were extraordinarily expensive. Students who could attend that school all came from rich families.
Little Jiu also studied at that school.
If she hadn’t skipped a grade, she would have started high school this year.
Rong Si stared at the building with a deep gaze.
The reason he chose this school was not only the cheap tuition fees but also that he could be close to her.
Just then, the smell of smoke drifted over toward him. Coming back to his senses, Rong Si opened the window with a frown.
The boys at the back of the classroom glanced at him and started whispering again. “Hey, Boss, do you think that boy is despising us?”
“I think so. Ha, isn’t he just a little more handsome than we are? He really thinks too highly of himself!”
“Boss, why don’t we teach him a lesson and show him how powerful we are!”
“Yeah, if we don’t teach him a lesson now, he’ll snatch all the girls away!”
As the other boys spoke, the one being addressed as “Boss” dangerously narrowed his eyes. “Keep a close eye on him. If this kid provokes us, we’ll beat him up!”
They didn’t lower their voices at all. It was as if they wanted Rong Si to hear them.
If an ordinary person had heard this, they would be cautious. However, Rong Si’s expression stayed the same. The corners of his mouth imperceptibly twitched, full of mockery and disdain.
‘The first period was math class. When the math teacher came in, he also smelled the smoke. He angrily looked at the boys in the corner. “Smoking again! How many times have I said that smoking is not allowed in the classroom! If you want to smoke, get rid of the smell before coming in! Don’t you know
that it smells awful?”
The boys did not take him seriously at all. They looked at him challengingly and said, “Teacher, are you trying to teach us something?”
“That’s right. Teacher, you should be more careful with your words. Stay out of things that aren’t your business, or you’ll get in trouble!”
