"Ah... that... that..." Like a child who was caught doing something wrong, she blushed with embarrassment and even began to speak incoherently.

So cute...I couldn't help but sigh in my heart again.

"Just say it if you have anything to say, it'll be fine." I continued to speak in a tone that was too soft to pay for my life.

Perhaps it was my gentleness and easy-going (although, it was just a pretense) that made her let go of her nervousness. Her face gradually calmed down, but her voice was still soft and sweet, with a hint of shyness: "You... are also exceptional.

Are you admitted?"

"Gah? How did she know? Although I asked Kong Tong Mingcheng to conceal my life experience, I shouldn't know the girl in front of me." Could it be that she was investigating me? That would be even more wrong.

In the eyes of others, poor people who can only climb the ladder of schooling by studying hard should be looked down upon rather than paid attention to, right?

As if she noticed my consternation, her little face turned even redder. She lowered her head and continued in a timid tone: "Well... only for students like us who have no background, the teacher would..."

She couldn't speak anymore, her little head was buried deeply, like a child waiting to be punished.

But what she said suddenly made me realize. If I heard correctly, she said "we" - did it turn out that she was also admitted under the exception?

Suddenly, an indescribable feeling of intimacy spread throughout my heart like a vine.

"Ahem...there must be discipline in class. Even if you are a newbie, you must not not understand the rules!"

The teacher suddenly said a lesson without any warning, and there was a burst of delicate laughter all around. Of course I knew that the teacher meant something, but I couldn't help but bury my head silently in the words I had just received from the Academic Affairs Office.

When I read the new book, I looked like I was obeying the instructions, but I couldn't help but start to roll my eyes.

Damn you! What kind of bullshit is academic rigor? The teachers in this school are nothing more than that!

"Hey, what's your name?" In order to avoid being criticized by that snobby man again, I calmly handed a note to the cute girl just now. (The following is the content of the note)

"Ah...my name is An Lan."

An Lan? Such a cute name, as cute as the person, and even the handwriting is very delicate. I couldn't help but add a few more impression points to her in my heart.

"Haha, my name is Xia Zhiyan, can we be friends?"

"Is it okay? But they don't seem to like me..."

"Ignore them! I like you very much. Don't you like to be friends with me?" It seems that An Lan has a low self-esteem, which is understandable. After all, in such an environment, it is impossible not to be excluded.

"Of course I do, Zhiyan, you are very gentle to me."

Sweat... I couldn't help but laugh. What would Yinglan think if she knew that all my gentleness was just an act? Forget it, I could make friends when I first came to the academy, so I should be snickering.

We can talk about the rest later.

I crumpled the note into a ball, gave An Lan a reassuring smile, and then turned my attention to the book, but my thoughts had already drifted to the sky.
Chapter completed!
