The news of this incident spread like wildfire. Within a day, everyone knew that there was a beauty in the International Class.

Someone secretly took a picture of Zhao Mingxi standing in front of her class this morning and used it to replace the existing one in the School Beauty Contest's webpage.

Thus, everyone who was curious went to look at the forum.

A lot of people were instantly doubtful. "This picture has been photoshopped, right? Or else why haven't I ever seen such a beauty in school before?"

There were even some who began to analyze it. "Look at how badly photoshopped are the frames of the door behind her. This beauty is too much. Never has there been a normal person with such perfect features. What's the point in studying? She might as well go ahead and become a celebrity."

"Exactly. If she really looks like this, she would've been very famous not only in our school but also in other schools. So how is it possible that this is only revealed now?"

These types of comments were endless. Those who did not see her with their own eyes retained their doubtful attitude. Even those who saw Zhao Mingxi this morning and commented 'she is really that beautiful' were attacked by the netizens.

Nonetheless, it couldn't stop the uncontrollable rocket-like rise in Zhao Mingxi's votes on the voting page.

Before school ended today, the popularity of the three words 'Zhao Mingxi' was close to surpassing Zhao Yuan's.

E Xiaoxia leaned on her table and buried her head in her arms. She felt as if someone had taken off all her clothes and punished her. She did not dare to raise her head for the whole of today, moreover listen to what the teacher was saying.

Surprisingly, no one from the Evergreen Class mocked her. At most there were some girls who disliked her talking about her in hushed whispers.

However, E Xiaoxia was really sensitive. No matter what people said, she would take it as if they were talking about what happened this morning; as if they were all laughing at her.

After class, Miao Ran who was her close friend came to assure her. She patted her shoulder, "Don't worry. This incident will blow over after a few days. It isn't anything huge anyway. You're just jealous of her. Every girl is bound to have such thoughts. It's understandable."

When E Xiaoxia heard such assuring words, she was on the verge of tears. She raised her head from her arms, "Exactly! Why is everyone blaming me? Who would've known that Zhao Mingxi was such a beauty when she wore that mask everyday? If everyone were to blame someone, they ought to blame her for leading everyone on!"

When the two girls who were sitting behind them heard this, they looked at each other. They both felt that E Xiaoxia was really brazen. Only she would still find excuses for herself at such a time.

However, in every class there would be a group of girls who were not to be messed around with. Aside from the prettiest and peace-loving Zhao Yuan, E Xiaoxia was the center of her small group.

They really didn't have the need to mess with E Xiaoxia.

Thus, they continued to bury their heads in their homework, pretending as if they didn't hear anything.

Even Miao Ran felt as if E Xiaoxia's words were a little too shameless. Nonetheless, she didn't comment on it. Instead, she continued to assure her, "Yeah. If it was me, I would think that she became ugly after her facial injury as well, and that she didn't dare to show her face to everyone."

E Xiaoxia wiped her tears. "I feel like a joke."

"It's alright." Miao Ran continued to console her patiently.
