The only difference between the eleventh grade and the twelfth grade was that the class size was two persons smaller.
Zhou Qingyue and Li Honghong, the pair of troublemakers, were gone.
Without them.
When Jiang Xu entered the classroom, he felt the air was much sweeter.
The seating arrangement was still the same as it was in the eleventh grade. Nothing had changed.
An Nuonuo had arrived before him.
An Nuonuo, after removing her seal, could only be described as breathtakingly beautiful.
Although she sat there quietly reading a book.
But no one in the class could ignore her.
All the male students sneakily stole glances at her from time to time, blushing and then moving their gaze away.
Even many other boys from different classes.
Ran over and stealthily assessed her from outside the classroom.
They all were stunned.
They were all inquiring about An Nuonuo's specific information.
Fu Yanjie also arrived.
Over the summer break, he had lost weight and had tanned considerably.
Consequently, his already average looks took another hit.
But, as soon as he arrived, he started boasting.
"You guys have no idea what I went through this summer."
"While all of you were playing games, I've made a lot of money selling boxed meals and various snacks."
"Yes, that's all my hard work, all my idea."
"We, the young ones, need more experience to better integrate into society."
Jiang Xu shook his head helplessly after listening for a while.
This guy's bragging was completely off the cuff.
In his narrative, all the credit belonged to him.
Jiang Xu was treated as if he were invisible.
The guy proudly claimed to have made several ten thousand yuan, when he had just made several thousand yuan.
The naïve students were all astonished and looked up to him in awe.
This greatly satisfied Fu Yanjie's vanity.
It wasn't until he saw Jiang Xu paying attention to him that he restrained himself, winked at him, and sent a signal.
"Good buddy, don't expose me. Can you let me be triumphant in business as I'm not successful in love?"
Jiang Xu replied, "You cover the cost of drinks for the next semester."
Fu Yanjie hesitated a bit, considering it too much.
But after seeing the hint of savageness in Jiang Xu's eyes, he quickly agreed.
The class teacher arrived.
First, he had the students distribute the new textbooks for twelfth grade.
Then he said, "Everyone knows about Zhou Qingyue.
She is now at the school to do publicity for her first movie,
The first morning reading class today is cancelled.
Now, the class representative will lead the team. Let's all go outside together."
Jiang Xu was not much interested, but still followed them outside.
The other classes had also received the notice.
The gathering was more enthusiastic than anytime.
After the lines were formed, everyone waited eagerly.
The old class teacher served as the host.
He said a few unremarkable words.
Then, his superiors 'briefly said a few words'.
Then the superiors' superiors again 'briefly said a few words'.
Student's attention lapsed as speech after speech went on.
Many students showed impatient expressions.
Half an hour had passed.
Just when many people's patience was on the verge of snapping, Zhou Qingyue was finally invited out.
Zhou Qingyue today was undoubtedly very beautiful.
She wore a very expensive and gorgeous long dress.
Her face was made up with mature makeup that didn't quite match her age.
But the skills of the makeup artist were high.
In a moment, her attractiveness was elevated by several notches.
At an age when everyone wore school uniforms, she had already put on such fashionable clothes.
Naturally, she hit the hearts of many people at once.
Feeling the gaze of various emotions like envy, passion, love, or jealousy, all focused on herself.
At this moment, Zhou Qingyue undoubtedly felt very satisfied.
She held the microphone like a proud swan, held her head high, and walked onto the stage.
Her slender eyes quickly scanned the crowd.
Searching for the figure she both loved and hated.
She quickly saw Jiang Xu, her lips slightly upturned.
Then she took the microphone and greeted everyone.
The site immediately burst into a round of enthusiastic applause.
Only Jiang Xu did not clap his hands.
"Thank you for your support." Zhou Qingyue's voice was sweet: "I'm really sorry for disrupting your study time."
As she spoke, her face showed an appropriate hint of apology.
Nothing else to say, her skills in handling the crowd and acting had indeed improved a lot.
Next comes a pile of praise for her team's hard work and promotion of how good the movie is.
She encouraged everyone to support the movie.
At the end, her tone changed: "The one I should thank most for being able to participate in this movie is my good friend, Jiang Xu."
Jiang Xu twitched his eyelids.
The others in the class put their attention on Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu felt Zhou Qingyue's gaze on him and looked back coldly.
Zhou Qingyue remained composed: "The movie I starred in.
Was based on the novel of the same name written by Jiang Xu. I'm his loyal reader.
It's fate.
It was me who recommended the novel to my boss, and then she bought the rights."
This was something Jiang Xu didn't know about.
The others all looked at Jiang Xu with envy.
Liu Yue below the stage was frowning, constantly signaling Zhou Qingyue.
These were lines she never instructed Zhou Qingyue to say.
Zhou Qingyue acted as if she didn't see Liu Yue and continued:
"I've known him for a long time, and he's always been very good to me.
He brings me food every day.
When it rains, he would rather get drenched himself than not give me his umbrella.
He often buys me small gifts to cheer me up.
We have made a promise to meet at the top in the future.
Perhaps, this is what youth is all about."
Her words faded.
Many people glared at Jiang Xu with malicious intent.
A goddess who was snatched away by this mediocre boy.
It was just too hateful.
Among all, Jun Yue was the most enraged.
You are trying to play both fields?
However, amidst his anger, he felt a surge of joy.
Nuonuo must have seen Jiang Xu's ugly side now.
Do I still have a chance then?
Jiang Xu was very irritated.
Zhou Qingyue was just talking nonsense.
She said this on purpose, to sow discord.
At that moment, An Nuonuo had already lowered her head.
Her expression was not visible.
But she certainly wasn't having a good time.
Zhou Qingyue, standing on the stage.
Way up there she could fully see the expressions of Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo.
Her face was calm and her heart was filled with pleasure.
This was her first step of revenge.
First, create a crack in the relationship between them.
Then slowly tear it apart!
"I've said enough. Thank you all for your support."
Zhou Qingyue covered her chest with one hand, gave everyone a deep bow, and then planned to step down.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Jiang Xu spoke up!
