Gu Lan was very surprised and unexpected that Xu Huanwen would suddenly come to her classroom. According to the original plot, the members of Dorm 444 were distributed among five different classes, and they rarely interacted with others in class. No one dared to provoke them, and they also didn't bother with others.
However, now Xu Huanwen suddenly appeared in her class, forcefully intruding into the plot of the original female lead.
Gu Lan remained silent, and Xu Huanwen lightly raised an eyebrow. He stood at the classroom door, exuding an exceptionally stunning aura.
He wasn't wearing the school uniform but rather a casual outfit that looked quite expensive. His unruly brows and perfect facial features seemed precisely measured, especially his eyes, which were mesmerizing even when he smiled.
It was evident that everyone in the class was afraid of him. Even Yan Yuxuan, with a frown on his face, pushed his glasses and said to Xu Huanwen, "Xu fellow student, transferring to another class requires an application. The school arranges students into different classes."
Xu Huanwen couldn't be bothered and said while walking towards Gu Lan, "Arrangements? I've already arranged myself. I feel like I belong to the same category as Gu Lan."
Saying that, Xu Huanwen arrived next to Gu Lan and smiled as he took the empty seat beside her.
Due to Gu Lan's conflict with An Momo, the whole class avoided her, and the classmate who was originally sitting beside her also changed seats, leaving an empty space next to Gu Lan.
This worked out conveniently for Xu Huanwen.
He sat down, placed his backpack on the desk, and winked at Gu Lan. "What a coincidence."
Gu Lan wasn't quite sure what Xu Huanwen was thinking, but he seemed like a good person, right?
Gu Lan vigorously nodded her head, feeling a revolutionary camaraderie with Xu Huanwen. "What a coincidence! Good brothers!"
Xu Huanwen was taken aback for a moment but then laughed teasingly. "Oh? Maybe."
Xu Huanwen noticed that being with Gu Lan would be entertaining, so that's why he followed her.
He wasn't interested in helping people out or anything like that.
However, everyone else in the class didn't see it that way.
Yan Yuxuan's eyebrows were almost twisted into knots, and his lips tightened. He understood why Gu Lan was so arrogant and dared to bully An Momo. It turned out she had teamed up with those scary and disgusting people from the dormitory.
Hehe.
She thought that group of people could protect her?
Gu Lan was just a dog being played with.
Having this thought, Yan Yuxuan relaxed and picked up his own book. "Since Xu Huanwen wants to come here, we should welcome the new classmate. Let's give him a round of applause."
Applause echoed in the class.
Gu Lan noticed that these applause were filled with fear, and some of the girls, such as An Momo's friend, Yang Siwei, had a gleam in their eyes when looking at Xu Huanwen.
Oh, that's right. Xu Huanwen seemed like a flirtatious playboy who was open to anyone.
Could Yang Siwei have some ulterior motives towards Xu Huanwen?
Would Xu Huanwen reject her advances?
But whether he would reject her or not was none of Gu Lan's concern. She decided to focus on her studies; she didn't want to become a poor student in this era.
Quickly collecting her thoughts, Gu Lan began to listen attentively to the class.
Xu Huanwen watched as Gu Lan got up from her seat and approached the blackboard. He was curious to see how she would respond to the challenge.
Yan Yuxuan observed the interaction between Gu Lan and Xu Huanwen and saw the subtle exchange of glances between them. His expression turned colder, and he seemed to be warning Xu Huanwen not to underestimate him. However, Xu Huanwen seemed unfazed and continued with his playful smile.
As Gu Lan stood in front of the blackboard, she couldn't help but feel a bit numb. She sighed and said, "Sure enough, we must work hard ourselves to achieve success."
She wasn't trying to show off; her abilities just didn't allow her to be otherwise.
Yan Yuxuan saw Gu Lan stand up and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Gu Lan, are you going to answer this question?"
Gu Lan nodded, "Yes, the answer is 17 times the square root of 3, and it requires the use of two formulas."
Saying this, Gu Lan rolled up her sleeves and asked, "Shall I go up to the blackboard to explain?"
Yan Yuxuan was momentarily taken aback, carefully examining Gu Lan's face, while Gu Lan lazily replied, "Teacher, do I have the words 'poor student' written on my face?"
Yan Yuxuan instinctively replied, "No."
"In that case, how dare you call me up to answer the question?"
Gu Lan was feeling rather nonchalant.
In this era, how could you dare to travel through time without some special skills? Before her transmigration, her grades were not great, but she had a good memory. She had memorized the entire content of "The Three-Body Problem" and four famous novels by Jin Yong. Although she had forgotten some details, she could occasionally use her memorized knowledge to show off.
Besides, she was good at fighting, and being handsome attracted a lot of fans. Except for the unfortunate event of being hit by a car, everything else seemed pretty good.
The main point was that Gu Lan was always striving to be strong. If she saw something she didn't like, she wanted to speak up. But when she spoke up, she would get countered. After getting countered, she would learn the other person's skills and use her strength to prove them wrong.
This mentality was similar to a famous internet celebrity during the Winter Olympics.
People who strived to be strong always had various skills up their sleeves.
Yan Yuxuan didn't expect Gu Lan to respond like this. His handsome face couldn't conceal his emotions, and a hint of darkness appeared in his eyes.
"I'm the teacher; I didn't deliberately make things difficult for you."
"But I want to deliberately make things difficult for you."
Gu Lan nonchalantly put her hands in her pockets, yawned, and walked up to the blackboard. As she passed by Yan Yuxuan, she stopped.
Their positions were in opposite directions, and they almost brushed shoulders as they passed each other.
Yan Yuxuan's elegant face couldn't hide his anger any longer, while Gu Lan faced the blackboard, her lips curling up, and she spoke with a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.
"To be honest, I don't want to make things difficult for you, but it seems like you want to make things difficult for me."
"Today, I just joined the 444 dormitory with great difficulty. Don't embarrass me in front of my roommates."
Gu Lan said as she picked up a chalk and swiftly wrote down the answer on the blackboard. Then, she also posed a question.
"Teacher, I don't know how to solve this problem. Could you explain it to me?"
The problem Gu Lan wrote was a world-class mathematical challenge called the "Xi Ta Fan Conjecture," which was conquered by a genius young man named Liu Lu in Huaxia during her time. Gu Lan had written this problem intentionally because, based on the publication time of the original book, Liu Lu had not solved this problem yet. Therefore, the characters in the original book shouldn't know the answer. Yan Yuxuan's expression changed slightly after seeing the question. He responded, "You learn a few difficult math problems and want to challenge the teacher? Alright, I'll solve it for you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lan suddenly froze. She turned her head to look at Yan Yuxuan, feeling a sense of crisis.
In the original book, Yan Yuxuan was a 22-year-old mathematical genius with a Ph.D. He came to the school to help his unreliable friend and eventually fell in love with the kind-hearted female lead.
If the characters in the plot were to develop, it was indeed possible for Yan Yuxuan to solve this problem.
Her mind raced, but Gu Lan maintained her calm demeanor.
"Oh? I hope the teacher can figure it out."
Putting down the chalk, Gu Lan returned to her seat.
Xu Huanwen rested his chin on his hand as he watched Gu Lan, a playful tone in his voice. "Are you good at studying?"
Gu Lan shook her head, "So-so."
"So-so? Can you solve the Xi Ta Fan Conjecture?"
Again, Gu Lan shook her head, "No, no, no, I can't..."
Xu Huanwen had only been in contact with Gu Lan for a short time, but he noticed that she cared a lot about her pride and didn't like to lose.
So, Xu Huanwen decided to be direct. He moved his desk closer to Gu Lan's, leaning in so their faces were close.
His gaze swept over Gu Lan, seemingly trying to see through her. Normally, people would try to see through someone's heart, but Xu Huanwen's gaze seemed like he was trying to strip Gu Lan naked. Gu Lan instinctively tightened her collar and even glanced down at her almost-flat chest.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Huanwen chuckled and said, "You can't fool me. You can solve this conjecture."
Gu Lan had no choice but to admit it. She really didn't like being countered by people she didn't like. She let out a sigh.
"Actually, I have a friend..."
As Yan Yuxuan observed Gu Lan and Xu Huanwen whispering, his gaze grew deep. He pushed his glasses up and decided not to make things difficult for Gu Lan any further. He was thinking about how to solve the Xi Ta Fan Conjecture.
A mature man would deliberately make things difficult for others but also find ways to make them feel more embarrassed. He looked down at his book, a cold smile forming on his lips.
"Just because you can solve a few problems, you dare to make things difficult for the teacher? You're like a frog in a well, ignorant of the vastness of the world."
His voice was intentionally loud enough for the whole class to hear.
Unexpectedly, Gu Lan was stimulated by Yan Yuxuan's words. That night, she went to an internet cafe and wrote a paper under the pseudonym "I Have a Friend." She even submitted it to several websites.
