The appearance of the girl in white plunged the senior year class into a hush; the girls were stunned, while the boys had the look of lechers, some even starting to drool. After the silence came various buzzing discussions that filled the room with noise.
There really was a beauty who could rival Xiao Manxuan. Lin Tian shook his head to make sure he wasn’t seeing things. The girl was wearing a white dress with purple edges, the hem above the knee, revealing a pair of evenly toned, white legs. Her slightly upturned nose and smiling lips curved into a charming arc.
Her hair was dark as clouds and cascaded water-like down to her waist, her skin glowing faintly in the sunlight, clear and luminous like jade, her beautiful eyes rippling with autumn waves, clear and profound. The whole person, bathed in the sunlight filtering through the window, was cloaked in a layer of mysterious and beautiful light.
It wasn’t that Lin Tian hadn’t seen beautiful women before; both Xiao Manxuan and Mrs. Xiao he had met were peerlessly beautiful. And he had been around Xiao Manxuan, the charming First School Beauty, every day; he thought he had some resistance to beauty. But this girl with an air of mysterious allure still gave him a deep sense of amazement.
The girl in the white dress looked around and sized up her classmates. When her gaze fell on Lin Tian, a flash of confusion appeared in her eyes. Lin Tian, caught by her gaze, shivered; those eyes seemed somewhat familiar, as if he’d seen them before.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember meeting such a beautiful girl before. Prior to this, the beauties Lin Tian had seen included Xiao Manxuan and Mrs. Xiao, and Qi Jing was also one; other than them, there were no others.
"Bad boy, what do you think of her? Isn’t she beautiful?" Xiao Manxuan’s voice suddenly rang out in Lin Tian’s ear.
He nodded subconsciously and murmured an affirmation. When he saw Xiao Manxuan’s fiery gaze, he was startled and quickly added, "Ah, she is beautiful, but she’s still a bit less peerless than Second Miss."
Wiping his forehead in relief, Lin Tian thought to himself that it was a good thing he reacted quickly; otherwise, whether he could continue his life as a bodyguard happily was still an unknown.
"Hmph, you are my bodyguard, and you need to stay clear-headed at all times. Don’t be blinded by beauty, understand?" Xiao Manxuan glared at him, her words noble and righteous yet left Lin Tian with no room for rebuttal.
"Everyone, quiet down a moment," Teacher Fang raised her hand to signal for silence, then continued, "Our class welcomed two new transfer students in one day. You’ve already met Lin Tian, and now we have Zhang Lingyu. Let’s give her a round of applause."
Zhang Lingyu? What a unique name, Lin Tian thought to himself, now utterly certain he had never known anyone by that name before.
"Hello, classmates, my name is Zhang Lingyu, and I’m very happy to meet you all," came the ethereal voice as Zhang Lingyu nodded and greeted the whole class. After the introduction, Teacher Fang gestured for her to sit down.
As Zhang Lingyu walked to her seat, all the boys held their breath, their eyes following her every move. The only empty seats were in the last row, and the boys sitting there cheered inwardly when they realized this fact.
They had always envied the students in the front because they could steal glances at the First School Beauty up close. Now, it seemed the boys in the back were about to have their springtime too; they, too, would have a beauty in the class, one just as stunning as the First School Beauty.
Some students even sneakily took out their phones to spread the good news to their friends in other classes. In just a few minutes, the name Zhang Lingyu had already spread to other classrooms. Everyone knew that the senior year class had gained another top-tier school beauty.
Zhang Lingyu stopped next to Lin Tian, but she wasn’t looking at him; instead, she smiled at a boy across the aisle. The timid boy, dazzled by her smile, stood up and stuttered, "Zhang, Zhang Lingyu, is there, is there something you need?"
The other boys thought the timid boy’s luck with the ladies had suddenly exploded and that the beauty had taken a liking to him right away; they were all green with envy. However, Zhang Lingyu simply smiled and sweetly said, "Classmate, could we swap seats? I’m short-sighted, and I can’t see the blackboard clearly from the back. Could we? Please?"
Huh, why does this sound so familiar? Lin Tian glanced at her, feeling like he had just said something similar not too long ago. The boy was a bit slow to react and stuttered, "Ah, oh, sure, sure."
As he spoke, he picked up the books from the desk and walked toward the back, took a few steps, then turned back to look around, a look of confusion on his face, obviously still disoriented. His seat was by the window, a single desk, so when he left, Zhang Lingyu was left sitting alone. She then smiled and thanked the boy, "Thanks, classmate."
"Bro, don’t be sad, at least you’ve spoken to the school beauty, that’s way better than us." Comforting words came from a classmate behind.
"Dude, come sit next to me. Tell me, what’s it like to talk to a school beauty beauty?"
Lin Tian listened with a face full of bewildered lines, thinking what’s all this about.
He looked Zhang Lingyu up and down, noticing her clear, bright eyes. This little girl obviously didn’t have myopia, so why wouldn’t she sit at the back? Could it be that she knew him? Otherwise, her look earlier was off.
"Do we know each other?" Zhang Lingyu’s bright face suddenly came close, staring intently at Lin Tian’s face, startling him.
"Impossible, it’s the first time I’ve heard your name. Besides, with a beautiful girl like you, if I knew you, how could I possibly forget?" Lin Tian genuinely couldn’t recall where he might have seen her; why would both feel like they had seen each other before?
"Hmph!" Lin Tian heard Xiao Manxuan’s snort by his ear, followed by a pinch on the tender flesh of his waist, as the little girl’s hand had already clamped down.
"Second Miss, what’s wrong, why are you glaring at me like that?" Lin Tian feigned ignorance and laughed it off.
"Don’t talk to her. Look how she’s smiling at you, she’s up to no good," Xiao Manxuan said domineeringly.
"Second Miss, be reasonable, okay? She’s the one who asked me first. Alright, let’s start the class, look, Teacher Fang is about to start the lesson," Lin Tian said helplessly.
The little girl pouted, huffing angrily, "How am I unreasonable? Hmph, if you don’t agree, I won’t listen to the class, I just won’t."
Ah, the little girl’s getting worked up, it’s true what they say, spare the rod and spoil the child. Lin Tian put on a fierce facade and said, "You promised last time to be good, have you forgotten that now? Do you want a spanking again?"
Xiao Manxuan’s fair face turned red, and she said aggrievedly, "You bully, all you do is pick on me."
Uh, no need to say that so loudly, thought Lin Tian, looking like a thief glancing around, noticing that the classmates around him were giving him strange looks.
"Quiet down, get ready for class," Teacher Fang Ming’s timely voice rose, pulling the classmates’ attention back. But before Lin Tian could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt Fang Ming’s gaze on him, glaring at him severely.
