CHAPTER 100: COMPETITION CLASS

When the high school’s competition preparation class resumed again, there seemed to be more people than before.

The higher-ups in their grade even specifically secured a lecture hall for the competition class. The lecture hall differed from an ordinary classroom wherein the seats were connected.

During the last class session, Lu Qingyan was attending that class for the first time and Zhao Minghua directly arranged for her to be seated next to Wang Jingyuan.

However, Lu Qingyan went to the bathroom this time and arrived a bit late. When she glanced over, she discovered that there was already someone else in the seat she sat in previously.

The person was currently chatting with the classmate behind them.

When they turned their head, Lu Qingyan realized that it was Lin Ruoyu and was surprised.

The female interest actually entered the competition class so early?

Lu Qingyan was a little astonished because she seemed to remember that Lin Ruoyu entered the competition class after being transferred to the Special Class.

Lu Qingyan glanced around and realized that in the entire lecture hall, except for the back row that made it difficult to see the front clearly, the only seats left were to the left and right of Lin Ruoyu.

While she was distracted and in deep thought, a voice came from behind her, "This classmate, why are you blocking the door?"

Lu Qingyan glanced around and met the teacher who will give the lesson this time. It wasn’t Zhao Minghua, but the teacher in charge of Class 1, Xue Wenzhu.

Although Xue Wenzhu was also strict, when compared to Zhao Minghua, he was still gentler.

Lu Qingyan let out a "sorry" before entering the lecture hall. She walked next to Lin Ruoyu, "Classmate, are the seats next to you taken?"

Lin Ruoyu glanced at Lu Qingyan and the look in her eyes changed slightly.

She recalled that this girl was named Lu Qingyan. However, regardless whether it was this life or the last one, Lin Ruoyu had a very weak impression of her.

If it hadn’t been because she saw Xie Xinglin talking to her when she purposefully passed by their class, she probably wouldn’t have remembered who she was at all.

Even so, she remembered Lu Qingyan seemed to be quite slow-witted, had relatively mediocre relationships with others, and her grades weren’t even good. How did someone like her enter the competition class?

She thought like this, but when Lin LRuoyu raised her head to look at Lu Qingyan’s, there were no changes in her expression.

She smiled slightly and pointed to the seat to the left of her, "You can sit here, this seat isn’t taken."

Although her actions weren’t obvious, Lu Qingyan still felt that she was deliberately protecting the seat to her right, intentionally or otherwise.

Lu Qingyan glanced at the seat and suddenly remembered that it was the seat Wang Jingyuan sat in during the last competition class session.

When she thought of this, her gaze became a little complicated.

Although she knew that Lin Ruoyu would fall in love at first sight with Wang Jingyuan, this seemed too early. They haven’t even spoken to each other yet.

Or...was she just thinking too deeply into it?

After Lu Qingyan sat down, Lin Ruoyu leaned over and smiled, "Classmate, this is my first time in the competition class, so can I ask you if I don’t understand something?"

Lu Qingyan nodded and they mutually introduced themselves to each other in a polite manner.

For some reason, when she sat beside Lin Ruoyu, Lu Qingyan felt that the other party carried a very light fragrance, like rose-scented incense.

As long as you sat next to her, you would be able to smell a bit of it, purposefully or subconsciously.

The class bell rang and Wang Jingyuan arrived at the lecture hall one step late.

Xue Wenzhu was about to scold him, but Wang Jingyuan spoke first, "I was just discussing some competitions matters with Teacher Hu."

There has long been a rumor in their grade that Xue Wenzhu was interested in the leader of the physics group, Teacher Hu.

When he heard that Wang Jingyuan was consulting with Teacher Hu, the unhappiness between Xue Wenzhu’s brows seemed to have dispersed. His expression was peaceful as he waved. "Fine then, remember not to be late next time."

After Wang Jingyuan approached the lecture hall, he customarily glanced at the seat he sat in last time.

He discovered that it was still empty, but his seatmate had become someone else.

Lu Qingyan, who was originally seated next to him, had shifted over a seat and was currently talking to a girl beside her

He withdrew his gaze calmly. It was unknown what he was thinking as he walked in.

At this moment, Lin Ruoyu, who was originally talking to Lu Qingyan, held her breath for a moment.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she watched as the youth from her memories slowly approached the seat next to her.

His eyes were cold and he looked very handsome in the school uniform.

It reminded her of the first time she met him in her previous life, but this time, she had prepared herself and definitely won’t cut a sorry figure like she did before.

On the surface, she was still chatting with Su Qiuge, but her heartbeat had already sped up tremendously. When she noticed how Xie Xinglin’s figure was getting closer and closer, she could almost imagine the young man whispering into her ear, "Is this seat taken?"

Her breath quickened and she could almost hear her own heartbeat.

But in the next moment, Lin Ruoyu’s eyes widened.

She watched as Wang Jingyuan walked past her without sparing her a single glance.

He directly skipped past the empty seat next to her and didn’t even look at her out of his peripheral vision.

The smile on Lin Ruoyu’s face stiffened for a few seconds, then she turned her head in disbelief. She caught sight of how Wang Jingyuan unhurriedly seated himself in the last row that didn’t have a single person.

Why?

Why would he rather sit in the last row than ask her?

Previously, she had used going to the bathroom as an excuse and deliberately pulled her friend along and came to the back door of the competition class to secretly look for him.

She clearly remembered that he had sat in the seat to her right and was talking to the girl named Lu Qingyan.

When she thought to this point, Lin Ruoyu’s gaze slowly fell on Lu Qingyan, but her eyes happened to meet Lu Qingyan, who had been looking at her this whole time.

Lu Qingyan supported her chin and said to her, "Classmate Lin, you look uncomfortable, what’s the matter?"

Lin Ruoyu’s heart jumped and then she let out a smile with great difficulty, "It’s nothing, I’m just a little nervous because it’s my first time being in this class. I heard that the class has a test at the beginning of every session, is that true?"

Lu Qingyan nodded her head.

After Lin aruoyu asked a few more questions, she seemed to unintentionally ask, "The boy that was late just now, he should be Wang Jingyuan, the one who scores first in the grade every time, right? I heard he’s quite cold, would he help the students in your class with lectures?"

After she said this, she fixedly stared at Lu Qingyan.

Lu Qingyan seemed to realize something as she glanced at Wang Jingyuan, who was seated in the last row, "Mhm, he will. There will be someone everyday asking him about the lecture and he will help explain it."

But this type of thick-skinned and courageous person who dared to do so was only Peng Jianda so far.

Lin Ruoyu seemed to let out a sigh of relief, thinking in her heart that this girl probably wasn’t special to him. She was just thinking too much.

As a result, she smiled at Lu Qingyan, "Then that person’s pretty good."

Lu Qingyan nodded along and then recalled the way Lin Ruoyu looked at her just now, she fell into deep thought.

The gaze, it was as if she was about to eat her, causing one to feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, Lu Qingyan didn’t really care about what she was like in Lin Ruoyu’s mind.

Just now, it could be considered that she helped her seatmate create a positive impression in Lin Ruoyu’s heart, she already did her part as a wingwoman.

Otherwise, with Wang Jingyuan’s cold and reserved personality, it would be impossible for him to take the initiative to chase a girl in this lifetime.

When girls see him, they would all retreat. It was unknown how long he would be single for, especially since the average girl wouldn’t dare to go up to him with his cold demeanor.

It was only people like Lin Ruoyu, who had superior conditions in all aspects and were full of self-confidence, that were less likely to back down.

On the contrary, the more difficult something is, the more they would go after
