Chapter 31

The first class after lunch break was the class meeting.

When the homeroom teacher entered, followed by a stranger, the students looked puzzled. Another transfer student?

Standing at the podium, the homeroom teacher cleared his throat and spoke, "Students, before I summarize this month's exam results, let me introduce a new student who is transferring from Class 3 next door due to personal reasons. Please give him a warm welcome."

Hearing that the new student was from the next-door class, the students murmured in surprise.

"Wasn't Xia Yue transferred to Class 3 next door? Why is there such a formal introduction?"

"Due to personal reasons? Sounds like there's a story behind it."

"Strange things happen every year, but this year seems particularly strange."

......

The homeroom teacher said, "Now, student, please introduce yourself to the class."

Zhang Xinyang looked down, staring at the floor, his voice trembling slightly and barely audible.

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Xinyang. Please, take care of me."

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Lu Yao propped his chin on his hand and casually looked up at the podium.

It's him?!

Lu Yao and Zhang Xinyang were classmates in the first year of high school. Zhang Xinyang was the class monitor, known for his excellent academic performance and cheerful personality, making him quite popular.

At the end of the first semester of high school, Zhang Xinyang had to transfer schools due to family reasons, and the class had even held a farewell party for him.

Lu Yao, though busy with part-time work at the time and unable to attend, knew that most of the class had gone, showing how well-liked Zhang Xinyang was.

Lu Yao didn't expect to encounter him again at Huiying High School.

Seeing the changed Zhang Xinyang on the podium, Lu Yao furrowed his brows in confusion.

Noticing Zhang Xinyang's lack of confidence, the homeroom teacher didn't say much and pointed to the empty seat in front of Lu Yao. "Zhang Xinyang, you can sit there."

As soon as Zhang Xinyang pulled out the chair, he met Lu Yao's gaze. He froze for a moment, then awkwardly looked down and sat down.

After introducing Zhang Xinyang, the homeroom teacher began the main topic of the class meeting: summarizing the results of the monthly exam.

When it was announced that Jiang Bai was still the top student, it didn't surprise anyone. It would be surprising if Jiang Bai wasn't first.

What was surprising, however, was that Xia Yue, who had always been low-profile, had ranked second in the grade. This made the homeroom teacher of the adjacent class extremely happy, as two of the top three students were from their class.

The third place in the grade is a boy named Wang Shining. Before this month's exam, if Jiang Bai was the perennial number one, Wang Shining was the perennial number two.

When the homeroom teacher, Mr. Tang, mentioned Wang Shining's name, Lu Yao noticed that Zhang Xinyang, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly trembled.

You Yu, uninterested in Mr. Tang's lengthy summary, leaned on his desk and eagerly shared some gossip he had just heard from the adjacent class.

"I heard that after Xia Yue moved to the next-door class, her relationship with Wang Shining progressed rapidly. Wang Shining even broke up with his previous girlfriend for her."
