In September, the weather in the Imperial Capital was growing colder while the maple trees on the streets started to fall to the ground.

During this time, school will open their gates to start the first semester. The First Imperial High School was no different from other schools. Happy chatters and friendly whispers could be heard even from afar as students wearing the high school uniform of the school were making their way inside the gate after greeting the school guards stationed next to it.

As time passes by the morning reading class already started at around 6:40 in the morning. This time, every students were not strictly required to read their books and do their homework at the last minute before the actual class starts.

"Lin Ya, when are you going to tell us that she's actually coming back?" A student entered the classroom and approached the table near the blackboard.

Lin Ya, who was called out by her classmate, raised her head. She tilted it and pretended to be confused as to what her classmate was talking about. She said, "What are you talking about, Sun Yuling?"

Sun Yuling revealed a cheeky smile as she replied, "My mother already told me so you don't have to hide it anymore. You're cousin's coming back."

At the start, Lin Ya had been surrounded by her close friends at her table when Sun Yuling arrived. When they heard what she said, they all paused and whipped their heads towards her to join the gossip.

"Seriously?!"

"That woman is still planning to come back to school after disappearing for two years? Wait... did she even go to school during that two years?"

"Aiyo... I thought class this year will be peaceful, but it seems that it won't be the same anymore."

Lin Ya didn't stop her close friends from saying these words. Even if she did do that, who doesn't know what kind of person her cousin was?

A young boy sitting behind Lin Ya heard them and patted her shoulder. It was Bai Duan, the troublemaker of the class. He smilingly said, "That ugly girl is coming back? Are you for real?"

Although Bai Duan was famous troublemaker in class, he got a good background. He was a son of a wealthy local tycoon so Lin Ya showed him face as she replied, "I just found about it yesterday. My mom told me that Lin Yun just came back from overseas and will start coming to class today."

"D*mn it! Why did she even have to come back? Her fat and ugly face will only destroy the beauty and harmony of our class!" Bai Duan complained.

Lin Ya didn't comment and only showed a gentle smile on her lips. However, if one were to take a closer look on her smile, they would realize she was actually sneering.

Ha! No matter how long her cousin has been staying overseas, what kind of magic would it do to her to make the class like her?

At the same time, there was a commotion going on outside the school building. The students walking outside stopped in their tracks as a high-end car drove through the gates and stopped just right in front of the school building. Several students next to the windows also stuck their heads out to glance at it.

Everyone wondered who arrived in a car. It wasn't rare to see a student coming to school with a car since the First Imperial High School was an elite high school where several young masters and young misses from wealthy families go to school.

"Woah... is that the latest car design from X brand?" Chi Xiaochi turned to his seatmate and excitedly said, "Who do you think owns that car, Brother Qi?"

Qi Yuming stared at the car before he took his eyes away from it. "How am I supposed to know? Tons of the students here are kids from a wealthy family. No one lacks money to buy one or two cars from that brand."

Chi Xiaochi noticed his seatmate's gloomy eyes and remembered that Qi Yuming ordered one from his father for his birthday, but the last car of that design was already sold, making him lose a lot of face* from his classmates and close friends who knew about this matter.

Just as Chi Xiaochi was about to end the topic, he gave the car a one-last glance before he watched as Lin Ya and her group chatted about in their seats.

However, because he looked away a bit too quickly, he was unable to see that the door opened and revealed a very beautiful young woman about the age of eighteen stepping out of it.

...

Inside the staff office, the principal and the vice principal was waiting inside principal's office. They knew that someone who knew the School Chairman came today. This person was also one of the people who sponsored the school, donating one more building to them so, they had to be careful with their words and actions as well as show great respect towards this esteemed person.

The door of the principal's office swung open where two people came in. One was an elderly man in a black suit and the other was a young woman wearing the school uniform of the school.

"Welcome, Mr. Chu." Principal Zhu immediately stood up from his seat and over-politely welcomed the two. When he saw the older man, he felt a burst of fear inside his heart telling him to not offend the man.

"Good morning, Principal Zhu. Vice-principal Jing," Mr. Chu returned their greetings, shook their hands and exchanged some words about his visit.

After everything was done and the three formally ended their conversation, Mr. Chu patted the shoulder of the young woman sitting beside him and said, "This young lady is the daughter of a close friend. Unfortunately, her parents are unable to come here so I came in their stead. Principal Zhu, please do take care of her while she's at school. Go and greet your new principal."

"Please take care of me, Principal Zhu. Vice-principal Jing. My name is Lin Yun." the student greeted them.

Principal Zhu turned his head and his eyes fell on this student. A slight and gentle smile was already on her lips, but when others see it, they would have this indescribable feeling that something warm was blooming inside them.

Beautiful eyebrows that curved at the end, double-eyelid and bright natural brown eye color. High nose and pink lips. She was the epitome of a youthful beauty.

Immediately, Principal Zhu and Vice-principal Jing felt that this student was very good. They sung praises to her but not overly since she was of a younger age like their daughters and sons. If they praised her even more, they would look like some old perverts targeting young people.
