Yijie

Lixue went to class 4.1 with her homeroom teacher, Teacher Lan. He asked her on the way, "Lixue why did you drop out of school for an year?" Lixue replied politely, "Teacher Lan, my grandma has some health problems so I stayed at home mostly to take care of her." "Okay. But now that you are here I hope that you can do well in studies. I could see in the principal Xie's room that he placed high hopes on you." Teacher Lan said.

Lixue couldn't help twitching her lip. 'Teacher, grandpa Xie was literally dissing her. Where did you see high hopes?' As much as she wanted to say this, she still replied with an "Okay Teacher, I'll try my best to study hard. But it's really not in my hands to get good marks or not."

Teacher Lan was rendered speechless by her reply. They reached class 4.1 and Lixue entered behind Teacher Lan. Inside the class it was all noisy but as soon as Teacher Lan entered with a new student everyone's curious gazes followed. Xie Jiayi was doing some mathematics problems and did not bother to look up when someone entered. His desk mate, Cheng Ziyu, and his only good friend in school asked him to look up. He looked and saw who entered. His eyes brightened. "Xue'er", he said softly but that soft voice in the originally quit classroom turned out to be loud.

Lixue heard the voice and looked up to see the young boy. He was wearing the school shirt and had a pen in his hand. His whole person was very attractive in the classroom. Because he was writing, his sleeves were rolled up a little. His aura was which was originally very distant and now turned bright when he saw herself. She flashed a kind and beautiful smile at him.

Then she introduced herself to the classroom, she wrote the characters of her name on the blackboard with a chalk in a single stroke. The writing was very sharp and had an edge to it. This made the whole class wonder about her personality "I'm Lixue" she said and kept the chalk back on the table in a very lazy manner.

Her total demeanor was very impatient and lazy as if speaking more than one word would run her throat dry. But nobody could deny the fact that her voice was very sensuous and euphonic. Everyone wanted to hear more but she had turned silent. Teacher Lan coughed lightly and said,"Class this is Jin Lixue, a new student in our class. I request you all to get along with each other." "Lixue, you can sit beside classmate Yi Jie. Please raise your hand Yi Jie." He added.

Lixue looked towards the class and found that a girl had her hand up shyly. Lixue went towards her and lazily slumped on the chair beside her. Teacher Lan started his lecture and Lixue got bored so she put her head down on the table and slept in the quite classroom.

In the row beside theirs, Xie Jiayi was getting annoyed from his interrogating stare therefore he stopped writing and looked up. "Ask", he said. "What's your relationship with Lixue? How did you know her? Don't you know that's it's not a good thing to keep your handsome friend in dark about knowing a beautiful girl?" He roared slowly so that Teacher Lan does not hear them talking. "She is not my friend or something but my said sister. Don't you dare have some thoughts about her or we won't be friends anymore." Jiayi warned.

"Look at her ice cold face. How am I supposed to have thoughts about her? I just think that she is very cool and want you to introduce me to her. Please" He begged with puppy eyes. "Shameless!! Fine I'll do it now focus on the class." Jiayi sighed knowing that he could not say no to his good friend.

After class they were dismissed for their break. Yi Jie wanted to ask Lixue if she could give her a tour around the school but was hesitant. She did not have any friends as she wanted to study hard but Lixue was an exception. Since she was also her desk mate for the rest of the year, she made her mind to become friends with her. Just as she was thinking, Lixue woke up from the noise in the classroom. She looked around and saw that class was over but everyone was staring at her. She looked towards Yijie and saw her looking at herself in a daze. She snapped her fingers in front of her and Yijie came out from trance and blushed from embarrassment. Lixue smirked and asked, "Aren't you going to the cafeteria?" Yijie quickly nodded. So Lixue stood up and said, "Come, let's go together then."

Yijie was happy. She could not believe that the actually ice-cold and unapproachable looking person was this nice towards herself. Then she saw Lixue going towards Jiayi's table and knocking on his desk with a grin. Everyone held their breaths and wondered if the charm of their campus king had worked on this ice-cold girl too. But then they heard something more shocking. Lixue said, "We haven't seen each other for long. Let's get together."

Jiayi answered sure with a smile and then remembered about his promise ti Ziyu. He said, "I'll also introduce you to a friend of mine." Lixue made an okay gesture and went to the canteen with Yijie first. Yi jie was a very happy-go-lucky person. She chatted with Lixue about some stuff and Lixue also put some one or two questions in the conversation. Yijie then happily told Lixue, "Our school has finally got campus belle more beautiful than the campus belle of Luoyang first middle school."

"Who is that campus belle you speak of and why are you saying that Silverleaf has also found their own campus belle?"

"Well you see you are literally the most beautiful girl in the whole of Silverleaf so I'm sure that in just a few hours you will be crowned as the Campus belle of Silverleaf. And if you ask about the campus belle of Luoyang First High school, her name is Jin Weiwei. Oh you both have the same cast too waahhh!! But you know that weiwei is extremely arrogant because of her being the top 5 of Luoyang and also belonging from a well to do family. Many people envy her because of this, but to tell you the truth we at Silverleaf always hate her for being high and mighty all the time."

Yijie was not from a well to do family. Her father was a normal white collared worker. He was a computer technician and earned enough money to keep the family well and good. Yijie had gotten into Silverleaf solely on her own excellence in studies.

Lixue asked, "Well, weiwei has money, is from a good family and also is beautiful and all these things are true right? So why should you hate her?"

Yijie scoffed, "She always wins the competitions from Silverleaf School in academics. Our school's students have been tired out from her arrogance earlier but then when she started winning in academics too, we knew something was wrong. And guess what we found out when we investigated it? She had paid to the judges and they gave bonus points to her just because of her spewing English words here and there."

"Why didn't you tell the principal?"

"Who would believe it? After all she is the top 5 in her school. And it's also the second best school so we never tried. To do so." She sighed.
