"Ranran, the first monthly exam is coming up soon. Once you get first place again, no one would even try to challenge your place as the campus belle."
Yao Ran pasted a demure smile on her face. "Don't say that, guys. We don't even know her. She might be good at her studies, too."
A boy scoffed. "If she is, then she wouldn't be in the garbage section, to begin with. Everyone knows the best students in the entire grade are here in Class 1, and you're the smartest among us all."
Yao Ran's smile deepened at that, but her eyes remained glacial.
