Chapter 2 - Top Scorer

"Student Lin, in your documents, you studied in the overseas after junior high school. If there's anything you're not used to or didn't know, let me know so I can tell the teachers to accommodate to you," Principal Zhu said to her.

Lin Yun shook her head, "Principal Zhu doesn't have to do this for me. I am just an ordinary student. Besides, the things I don't know are too little to count so you don't have to worry."

"But you just transferred here and doesn't know anyone from the school. Why don't we let my grandson come here so the two of you can know each other?" Principal kindly offered.

Mr. Chu didn't say anything after he finished speaking earlier and only glanced at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun answered politely, "I am embarrassed to bother Principal's grandson to do this for me. It's also not necessary since I've heard that my cousin and some of the classmates and schoolmates from junior high school are here."

Although Lin Yun said this very politely, there was a cold tone in her voice when she spoke the last part. However, it was very quickly said and the old men in the office also didn't notice it.

However, Principal Zhu was slightly dejected. If his grandson was able to befriend student Lin, he could easily make his way up the rank in the school through her connection. If his grandson managed to make her fall for him, what kind of a jackpot it was for the Zhu family to get the backing of Mr. Chu.

Nevertheless, since Lin Yun already refused on the surface and Mr. Chu didn't say a word, Principal Zhu felt the need to talk to his grandson about this and make him approach her. IF possible, it would be better if he could get her on their side.

Next to him, Vice-principal Jing disdainfully sneered. How could he not guess what Principal Zhu was thinking when he mentioned his grandson in front of Mr. Chu. However, he couldn't really blame him since if Vice-principal Jing also had a grandchildren, he would make them approach this young lady to elevate his position.

Unfortunately, his son was barren and had no plans to marry someone in this lifetime.

"The class is about to start. Let's go out so you can greet your teacher," said Vice-principal Jing after taking a look at his wrist watch.

Lin Yun stood up and followed him after she bid her farewell to Mr. Chu. The old man waved his hand at her in a doting manner and told her to call him any time.

As they left the principal's office, the rows of separate tables/office desk of the teachers were uniformly spread out in the staff office. Stack of papers were on the teachers' desk and some even had their heads bowed to check their lesson plans for the morning class.

Vice-principal stopped at a desk of a man between the age of late-twenties and early thirties before saying," This is Teacher Mo. He will be your class teacher from now on."

Lin Yun looked at Teacher Mo. He looked quite young for a teacher. Wearing a large black-rimmed spectacle and had a head full of curls. He didn't seem to notice them as he focused on writing in his notebook.

Vice-principal Jing felt a little bit ashamed at the teacher's behavior and lightly knocked his desk. This slight action made Teacher Mo almost jump from his seat.

When Teacher Mo finally looked up, he saw the vice-principal and a student standing in front of him. He first greeted the vice-principal before asking, "What's wrong, Vice-principal Jing?"

Vice-principal Jing briefly told him that Lin Yun was a new student who will be part of his class. After he introduced the two, he left them alone as he returned to his office after telling Teacher Mo to take care of her.

Teacher Mo led Lin Yun out of the staff office and as they walked in the corridor, he met another teacher named Teacher Zhang.

Teacher Zhang deliberately stopped in her tracks to mock Teacher Mo. However, she noticed the beautiful student by his side and pretended to be friendly as she said, "Teacher Mo, who is this student? I didn't see her in your class yesterday."

Teacher Mo didn't want to waste his time to quarrel with Teacher Zhang, who would always say a few bad things to him, but since she asked, he had to reply to her. He said, "This is Student Lin, she's a new student who enrolled yesterday but came today."

Teacher Zhang was surprised. A new student was not rare, but a student who enrolled in the last year of their senior high was something noteworthy. She dragged her eyes up and down as she observed the new student before coming to a conclusion that the student transferred because of a scandal or with a bad reputation.

With that kind of beauty, who knows who she offended and was forced to transfer.

With a mocking smile, Teacher Zhang said, "Oh... is that so? Well, Teacher Mo can take her to the class now then."

Lin Yun heard the ridicule in her voice and stared at the teacher in front of her before slowly taking away her gaze in a very calm manner.

Teacher Mo inwardly rolled his eyes at her before he led Lin Yun to the classroom. But just when they were about to enter the class, a tall student from his class came out of the door almost bumping into them.

Teacher Mo quickly recognize the student. It was Xie Yang, the school's top scorer and scholar.

"Sorry, Teacher Mo." The student named Xie Yang looked down and apologized. His voice was low and cold, however, when he greeted the teacher, his cold voice turned respectful.

Teacher Mo nodded at him and said, "The class is about to start. Where are you going?"

This student named Xie Yang was his treasure since he scored at the top for two consecutive years. If nothing else happened, he could easily become the top scorer in the school for three years and even get an award as the Best Student Award in their graduation. With his grades, he also easily enter a top university.

"I forgot something in the dormitory," Xie Yang told him before taking a pause. He noticed the unfamiliar student beside the teacher and said, "I'll be back before the actual class starts."

Teacher Mo didn't stop him. It was not that he was being bias towards this top student, it was just that the actual class will start in a few minutes, enough time for Xie Yang to go out and return to class in time.

After the student left without another word, Teacher Mo entered the class. However, he noticed that Lin Yun didn't follow him and was staring blankly at the hallway where the top student used.

"Xiao Lin, is there something wrong?"

Lin Yun shook her head and smiled at him, "No, teacher."
