Chapter 57: First High School (16)

Class 1-1 was a key class in the first year of high school, with a completely different academic atmosphere compared to other classes. Even though today was Saturday, almost all the students in the class were present.

It seemed like they came back to study after finishing the basketball game.

So when the lackey finished calling out, all the students in the classroom looked towards the door at Ruan Qing, their eyes filled with surprise and astonishment.

It seemed they didn’t expect Ruan Qing to come here, and moreover... to find someone?

Who deserved the attention of this school tyrant young master to personally come and find them?

Xia Baiyi? Seemed like the school tyrant’s girlfriend?

The classmates suddenly remembered that both the school tyrant’s boyfriend and girlfriend seemed to be in their class.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Pei Yan and Xia Baiyi in the corner.

Pei Yan had no expression, while Xia Baiyi, upon hearing someone call her, casually looked towards the door with an indifferent attitude.

But when she heard that the person looking for her was Su Qing, her eyes brightened, and she immediately stood up. With a happy expression, she ran out towards the door, holding a cigarette and a bank card. “Brother Su Qing!”

“Brother Su Qing! Why did you come? I was just about to find you. I couldn’t find you after buying the cigarettes, and my phone got broken.”

After Xia Baiyi finished speaking, she handed over the cigarette and bank card. Perhaps she felt a bit embarrassed after saying so much. She looked at Ruan Qing with a tender and complaining tone. “Brother Su Qing, where did you just go?”

“I had something to attend to.” Ruan Qing’s attitude was neither warm nor cold as he reached out and took the cigarette and bank card.

Ruan Qing’s fingers were fair and slender, with distinct joints and neatly trimmed nails. Even while holding the cigarette, he looked quite attractive. The cigarette became a kind of embellishment, giving the impression of a well-behaved young master who insisted on acting tough.

After glancing down at Xia Baiyi for a moment, and seeing the teenager about to leave, she couldn’t bear it and spoke with a reluctant tone, “Brother Su Qing, you just arrived, and now you’re leaving...”

Ruan Qing paused and turned his head to glance at Xia Baiyi, his voice filled with a hint of mockery and amusement. “What’s wrong? Can’t bear to see me go?”

Ruan Qing slightly raised his chin and slightly tilted the corners of his phoenix eyes, giving a sense of superiority, as if he had never placed everything in the mortal world in his eyes.

Arrogant, domineering, and also noble.

His head turned to the left side. The ruby on his left ear was dazzling, and the tassel swayed and flickered with his movements, adding a touch of enchantment to his fair and delicate face.

On ordinary days, the teenager always had an arrogant appearance, and his arrogant temperament often made people feel disgusted. It was very easy to overlook his appearance, but when the teenager looked back with a glance, it was simply captivating to the core.

The classmates in the class widened their eyes, as if it was the first day they met the teenager.

That demon... did he look like this before?

Thinking carefully, it seemed that they didn’t have much impression of Su Qing’s appearance before, because they never really looked at him carefully. Every time they saw him from afar, they would lower their heads and quickly leave.

Moreover, the teenager’s tone, with a hint of amusement and indulgence, made people’s heartbeats uncontrollably accelerate. It was as if they were deeply loved by him, and no one could resist such a Su Qing.

No wonder so many people feared him, yet there were still so many who followed one after another, wanting to be his partner.

Xia Baiyi stared blankly at the teenager. Her throat moved imperceptibly, and it took her several seconds to react. She blushed and revealed a shy smile. “Of course I don’t want to. This is the first time you’ve come to see me.”

Xiao Shiyi was currently sitting in the third row of the classroom. He glanced deeply at Xia Baiyi, stood up, and walked towards Ruan Qing. “Brother Su, why did you come in person? Is there something going on?”

“If you have something, just tell me.”

“It’s nothing, just here to get cigarettes.” Ruan Qing turned the cigarettes in his hand and spoke indifferently.

Xiao Shiyi looked at the cigarettes in the teenager’s hand and spoke calmly, “Why didn’t you let Mo Ran come to get them?”

In the past, the teenager always had Mo Ran or other his other lackeys get the cigarettes, have it delivered to him. This situation of personally getting it himself was not just rare, but it had never happened before.

Therefore, the teenager couldn’t possibly be here just to get cigarettes.

Xiao Shiyi remembered the scene on the basketball court when the teenager voluntarily embraced Xia Baiyi, and his expression darkened.

Was it to... see Xia Baiyi?

However, Xiao Shiyi didn’t expect that as soon as he finished speaking, the teenager’s expression changed abruptly.

“Don’t mention him to me.” Ruan Qing glanced at Xiao Shiyi expressionlessly, clearly showing anger. With just one glance, he could tell that something unpleasant had happened between Xiao Shiyi and Mo Ran.

Xiao Shiyi raised an eyebrow and didn’t ask further.

Xia Baiyi glanced at Ruan Qing’s expression and immediately held Ruan Qing’s hand with a bright smile, speaking in a gentle tone, “Ah, Brother Su Qing, don’t think about those unhappy things. You haven’t been to our classroom yet. Since you’ve come, come inside and have a seat.”

While Xia Baiyi spoke, she tried to pull Ruan Qing into the classroom. However, it seemed that she was afraid the teenager would refuse and get angry, so she didn’t exert much force. If he didn’t want to go in, he could easily break free from her.

But Ruan Qing actually intended to enter the classroom, so he didn’t struggle. Following Xia Baiyi’s lead, he entered the classroom.

Class 1-1’s classroom was completely different from Class 26. Thick reference books were piled on each person’s desk.

The blackboard was filled with the knowledge from the previous class, and the walls on both sides of the classroom were adorned with motivational quotes. Just being in the classroom created a sense of tension.

It was even somewhat stifling.

After all, Class 1-1 was a key class with rolling admissions, accepting only the top fifty students. This meant that every exam could lead to changes in the class roster, making the competition extremely fierce.

But the results were also remarkable. The first high school occupied most of the top one hundred spots in the provincial college entrance examination.

Ruan Qing discreetly glanced at the walls on both sides, eventually resting his gaze on the white wall at the back of the classroom.

While the other walls were decorated with inspiring quotes, the style of the white wall at the end was completely different from the rest.

Class 1-1’s classroom wasn’t small, and the white wall at the back was quite large. It was adorned with numerous paintings, featuring various styles that were eerie yet harmonious.

Moreover, in a super-sized section delineated in the middle, it was filled with densely written names.

It should be signatures of students in the class.

However, there were far more signatures than the number of students in the class. It seemed to be the signatures of all the students who had been in Class 1-1 in previous years.

Xia Baiyi walked quickly, and Ruan Qing only glanced at it hastily before she pulled him to her spot and sat down in her own seat.

After Ruan Qing sat down, Xia Baiyi smiled at him, then turned around and, disregarding the fact that they were in a classroom, directly sat on Ruan Qing’s lap, with her arm around his neck.

The whole action was smooth and seamless, as if it had been done many times before.

Ruan Qing never expected her to sit on his lap, so he froze. When Xia Baiyi sat down, he instinctively raised his hands, afraid of touching her even slightly.

However, as Ruan Qing raised his hands, he realized his actions and slowly placed them loosely around Xia Baiyi’s waist.

If one didn’t pay close attention, it would seem like he was actively embracing Xia Baiyi.

The classroom fell into complete silence, with only Xia Baiyi’s sweet voice remaining.

“Brother Su Qing, tomorrow... can I come to your house to play?”
