"Alright, alright." Shen Mianmian dismissively rubbed her ear, "I know you’re going through puberty, but could you talk less!"
Still calling him brother Lu, huh? Her aunt flo showed up even earlier than that, yet she never heard him calling her sister Shen.
If we’re going by mental age, calling her Aunt Shen would still be him getting the better end of the deal.
"Shen Mianmian, could you be any more indifferent?"
Lu Siyuan was fuming, this girl, increasingly taking less notice of him. He was clearly a few months older than her, yet she acted as if he was a generation younger than her.
Well aware of his persistent nature, Shen Mianmian simply ignored him, letting him chirp beside her ear without responding.
They soon arrived at the classroom where many students had already chosen their seats. Mianmian and Siyuan both liked sitting at the back and were heading there when suddenly, from a window-side seat, someone stood up and shouted excitedly in a voice just as duck-like as Siyuan’s.
"Shen Mianmian, Lu Siyuan, what are you guys doing here?"
Everyone’s attention was drawn by his voice. Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan also looked over, their mouths twitching involuntarily.
It never crossed their minds that this person would be Du Xiaohui, who had also come to No. 3 High School. A year had passed, and the guy had filled out, looking less like a ruffian and not as annoying as before. She almost didn’t recognize him.
"Du Xiaohui, did you not get beaten into shape over there and are now here looking to make your presence felt?" Lu Siyuan’s anger found an outlet, and unfortunate for Du Xiaohui, he was in the line of fire.
Du Xiaohui snorted and sat back down, "We’re in high school now, do you think this is still junior high? Fighting like a child at the drop of a hat, so crude. You’re at least a high school student now, considered half a cultured person."
Meeting someone from the same town in the city feels like having mutual support. Putting past conflicts aside, there’s still a sense of familiarity.
Seeing them, Du Xiaohui was genuinely happy.
This guy changed his stripes?
He was so taken aback by Du Xiaohui’s sudden change that he didn’t know how to react.
Shen Mianmian squinted and smiled, thinking that high school was going to be interesting for the next three years. With these two clowns around, it definitely wouldn’t be boring.
Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan took their seats at the last row by the window, and they began to overhear the students whispering in the class.
"That’s Shen Mianmian, right? The one who ranked first in the whole city."
"City’s first, why didn’t she go to No. 1 High School?"
"She’s so pretty! Even more beautiful than a star."
"Hmph, just because she’s pretty and ranked first in the city, what’s so great about that?"
"The guy sitting next to her seems to know her. Are they dating or something?"
"Shameless, sitting right next to a boy like that."
Originally, since it was the first time meeting each other, the students weren’t familiar with one another, but Mianmian’s presence suddenly gave them something to talk about, and they started chatting around her, gradually getting to know each other.
Listening to these whispers, Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan pretended not to hear them. Being the city’s first and having chosen to come to No. 3 High School instead of No. 1 was already a hot topic. She had predicted this before arriving.
The subject would only be hotly discussed for a while. After a few days, once everyone got used to her, they would probably forget about it.
The chatter continued until the class bell rang. Check latest chapters at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Their homeroom teacher, named Cheng Guoliang, was in his forties and looked very stern, always with a tight face. Shen Mianmian had seen him once when she enrolled.
