Chapter 23 New Classmate

“What else does she usually say about me?” Ning Yao rarely spent time in the dorm room. So even though she knew Xu Na did not like her very much, she would never truly know what was being said behind her back.

Song Ying sat down and sighed. “Didn’t you not come back for two nights? Xu Na said that you were having an affair with a man. She even said that you were able to go to Glory World because of your looks. Of course, Bai Jie and I didn’t believe it.”

When Song Ying finished speaking, she noticed that Ning Yao’s expression remained unchanged. She asked carefully, “Yaoyao, are you not angry?” Ning Yao flipped through Song Ying’s notebook without looking up. “What’s there to be angry about? Is she even worthy of making me angry? Some people’s thoughts are dirty, so they would see everything as dirty. I just don’t want to fall out with her. It’ll put you and Bai Jie in a difficult position. But if she continues to slander my innocence…” Ning Yao paused as her eyes turned cold. “I won’t let her off.”

As soon as the two finished talking, Bai Jie arrived back from the library after borrowing a book. After greeting Ning Yao, she excitedly said, “I heard that there’s a very handsome exchange student who has transferred to our college. He looks like a celebrity.”

Song Ying was most interested in handsome men and immediately joined the discussion.

Ning Yao was not interested in their conversation at all. She was not interested in men to begin with. Plus, after meeting with Clarence, her concept of handsome men had been refreshed.

She believed that no matter how handsome the guy Bai Jie mentioned was, there was no way he could be more handsome than Clarence, so she was not curious at all.

Since Ning Yao was still a student, her working hours were more flexible and adjusted according to her schedule.

This allowed her to be absent from work the next day because she had two classes to attend.

After the four dormitory mates washed up and dressed up, they rushed to class.

The four people in Ning Yao’s dorm were pretty good-looking, thus attracting many people’s attention along the way.

In reality, Xu Na did not have a good relationship with the other three roommates. However, she also did not want to go to class and eat alone as it would make her look lonely. Therefore, Xu Na would often stand with the others.

For those who didn’t know these internal dynamics of theirs, they would easily think that the four got along just well.

Bai Jie was a soft-hearted person. She could not bear to isolate Xu Na. Sometimes, when Song Ying did not want to eat with Xu Na, Bai Jie would go and eat with her.

Therefore, even though Xu Na was not on good terms with Ning Yao and Song Ying, the relationship between the four dormitory mates could still be somewhat salvaged thanks to Bai Jie.

The four of them entered the classroom and sat in the back row.

After the bell rang, the teacher walked in and said with a smile, “Students, an exchange student has come to the academy today. He will be attending classes with you in the future. I hope everyone can get along well with the new student and help each other.”

After the teacher finished speaking, she called out to the door, “Student Yang Yuan, please come in.”

Ning Yao’s eyelids twitched when she heard the name.

Yang Yuan? The person in question leisurely walked into the classroom, accompanied by the enthusiastic applause of his classmates.

Although Ning Yao hated Yang Yuan, she had to admit that Yang Yuan’s looks were indeed outstanding among the boys.

On this particular day, Yang Yuan was dressed in a hip-hop outfit with a branded watch that was worth over a million yuan on his wrist. Overall, he looked very cool, like a ruffian.

And when he smiled, he looked like a young master from a rich family. This kind of boy was obviously very attractive to girls who evidently started to whisper excitedly among themselves about him.

Xu Na also tugged at Bai Jie’s sleeve and commented, “He’s quite handsome.”

Song Ying didn’t know Yang Yuan’s identity, so she joined in the excitement. “He’s handsome, but he looks like a scumbag.”

‘Scumbag,’ thought Ning Yao.

“Handsome men all look like they’re fickle-minded.” Bai Jie smiled.

Yang Yuan gave a simple greeting to everyone before the teacher told him to find himself a seat.

Yang Yuan’s eyes swept across the classroom and stopped at Ning Yao’s row.

Bai Jie immediately became nervous. “Is he looking at us? God, I’m so nervous!”

Xu Na was sitting on the far left of the row but there was still an empty seat next to her. Thus, when she heard Bai Jie’s words, she immediately thought that Yang Yuan was going to sit beside her.

Xu Na quickly regained her composure after being nervous for two seconds. She revealed a well-planned smile and looked at Yang Yuan, waiting for him to speak.

However, Yang Yuan did not look at Xu Na when he walked to their row. Instead, he said to Song Ying, who was seated next to Ning Yao, “Excuse me, fellow student, can I sit in your seat?”

The class immediately fell silent and the smile on Xu Na’s face disappeared.
