She frowned, feeling like this current An Zhixin didn’t seem like the one she knew from before.
If their gazes hadn’t met from before, Mu Xiaoxiao would have thought that this An Zhixin was only similar in name and appearance to the An Zhixin she had known.
Because of this unexpected matter, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn’t focus in class and started to daydream about other things.
Suddenly, the person in front of her stood up.
Mu Xiaoxiao got a shock and thought that class had ended. However, she didn’t see anyone else move, only An Zhixin walking to the podium alone.
What was going on?
It turned out that An Zhixin had been called upon to answer a question on the board.
An Zhixin’s penmanship was decent. Even though it wasn’t beautiful, it was regular and precise, which made the viewer feel good looking at it.
She looked a little shy. After answering the question, she even nodded to the teacher respectfully.
Her attitude elevated her in the eyes of her classmates.
The Chinese teacher studied her answer and nodded satisfactorily. “It looks like our new student’s grasp of Chinese isn’t bad.”
When An Zhixin walked back to her seat, her gaze shot to Mu Xiaoxiao again.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t know why, but she felt as though her gaze was a little provocative and pleased.
When An Zhixin returned to her seat, she used her peripheral vision to glance at Xiaoxiao.
Internally, she sneered and said: Mu Xiaoxiao, you only have a pretty face. Your academics suck so much — what right do you have to stay by Yin Shaojie’s side? You’re totally undeserving of him!
She had heard from that person about Mu Xiaoxiao’s results. Apart from excelling in English, she was really, really bad at all her other subjects to the point where she didn’t even pass.
Even though An Zhixin’s academics were no match for the top-ranked students who were academically inclined, they were still considered outstanding.
With Mu Xiaoxiao’s bad grades in mind, An Zhixin felt even more strongly that Mu Xiaoxiao was only an ornamental girlfriend who used her looks and figure to win Yin Shaojie’s affections.
…
The class ended.
The students who were curious about An Zhixin clustered around her swiftly, firing questions at her rapidly.
However, there were more boys in this group of people, of course.
An Zhixin maintained her friendly smile throughout.
This made the boys think that she was an easygoing person, which gained her some more points from them.
The girls were mostly there to probe about An Zhixin’s background. However, seeing as she was keeping mum about it, they became disinterested and left.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought the surroundings a little noisy. Just as she got out of her seat, some of the other female classmates called out her name.
“Mu Xiaoxiao, are you going to the washroom? Let’s go together.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little shocked. She had been in Class S for quite a while already, but these girls had always seemed to harbor some hostility towards her. This was their first time voluntarily making contact with her.
She shook her head. “I’m only going out for some fresh air.”
The girls seemed a little disappointed. “Oh… We’ll be going then. We can go together next time.”
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. “Sure.”
She took her phone and went out. Standing at the hallway, she looked down at the scenery below.
She then heard the classmates behind her discussing about her.
“It turns out that Mu Xiaoxiao is a friendly person. She didn’t seem as haughty as I expected.”
“Wasn’t she like that from the start? I always thought of her as quite a nice person.”
“Hindsight is 20/20! You spoke badly of her before.”
“Hey! Can we not talk about this anymore? She might hear us.”
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and couldn’t help but smile a little. It looked like these people had changed their minds about her after the incident regarding Zheng Yong.
