The Sensation of MiHoYo’s Arrival! Little Sun March 7th!

Someone like her could never have that kind of chance…

And in the front row, Zhao Xinyue, upon hearing those words, instinctively sat up straight, her heartbeat quickening…

-----------------------------------

"Wow!"

This news was like a bombshell.

The classroom became even more chaotic than before.

The girls couldn't suppress their screams, and the boys also started loudly discussing.

Everyone's face was filled with anticipation and excitement.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but hope to be the one chosen.

It's MiHoYo, after all!

It's the Honkai: Star Rail production crew!

Super big celebrities!

"Me, me, me!"

"Teacher, I want to go!"

"Pick me, teacher! I'm begging you!"

In the heated uproar, the homeroom teacher had to press down the noise.

"Although I'd love for everyone to go, unfortunately, this is MiHoYo's requirement."

"We can only choose one person."

As soon as the words fell, many excited students sat back down in disappointment.

But for teenagers, just being involved in something like this was already thrilling.

So the disappointment didn't last long.

The focus of discussion quickly shifted to who would go.

"We have to go up and compete now."

"Brothers, no, Dads, remember to vote for me!"

"Good son, go for it. I'll definitely vote for you."

"Just for calling me Dad, Chen, I'm voting for you!"

A few close boys joked with each other.

But everyone knew in their hearts, this kind of good fortune wasn't something you could just grab.

Most of the gazes wandered among a few people.

There was the all-around excellent class president, the well-liked class clown, and the class beauty Zhao Xinyue.

In the corner, Li Chengcheng looked toward the podium with longing.

She reached out several times, wanting to recommend herself, but never managed to do it.

She hadn't even had time to fix her messy hair after just being bullied.

A voice roared in her ear:

"It's MiHoYo, you might even get to see Brother Blade again."

"As long as you see everyone from MiHoYo, you'll have the courage to keep going, right?"

"Brother Blade wouldn't look down on you. Don't be scared. Don't you remember how he encouraged you before?"

"And as long as you keep trying to live, Grandma won't be sad either."

"What are you waiting for? Raise your hand!"

This encouragement made Li Chengcheng grit her teeth and raise her hand halfway.

But another voice sinisterly whispered:

"You fat pig, you actually dare recommend yourself?"

"The moment you say it out loud, the whole class, even the teacher, will die laughing."

"Look at you , your school uniform's faded from washing too much, your messy hair, your face, disgusting!"

"Alive, you're draining your grandma. Dead, she still has to clean up after you."

"People like you should just find a place and die quietly. You're a disgrace!"

The courage and hope Li Chengcheng had finally summoned were shattered with ease.

She lowered her head, and her hand slowly fell back down.

Her drooping hair tightly covered her face, blocking everyone's view.

This gave Li Chengcheng a precious sense of safety, even if it was just self-deception.

Her classmates' excited shouts and chatter gradually turned into an unintelligible hum.

The three syllables "MiHoYo" were painfully sharp in her ears.

So close, yet out of reach.

Looking at her faded school pants and the two ugly hands on her lap, rough from work, Li Chengcheng understood.

Someone like her didn't even dare to dream.

"What's there to choose?"

"Of course it's got to be Xinyue."

"Yeah, Xinyue is our class beauty. If she goes, it'll make our class look good!"

The discussion was reaching its end.

With the encouragement of her two besties, more voices chimed in.

The teacher was also pleased with this choice.

Zhao Xinyue had good grades, a wealthy family, and a beautiful appearance.

No matter how you looked at it, she was the perfect choice.

For a moment, envy, jealousy, and a sense of inevitability , all eyes were on Zhao Xinyue.

And the class beauty, at this moment, had empty eyes and a dazed expression.

Only when she heard her name did she snap back to reality like a startled deer, her big eyes filled with just the right amount of surprise and confusion.

"Huh?" Zhao Xinyue covered her mouth in a gasp, a blush spreading on her face.

"Everyone, what are you saying? How could it be me?"

"No way, no way. How could I? There are so many better classmates than me, like the academic committee member, her grades are so good."

This modest refusal only boosted her popularity even more.

"Xinyue, stop being modest! What does this have to do with grades? You're our class's face!"

The tall sports committee member shouted loudly.

Zhao Xinyue gave him a grateful glance, one that almost melted his bones.

Just like that, under the lead of her best friends and sycophants, the class's flattery grew even more enthusiastic.

Zhao Xinyue kept a reserved smile on her face.

She seemed to be listening carefully to everyone, but the corner of her eyes secretly glanced at the shadow sitting in the corner of the classroom, head always bowed.

Her smile grew brighter.

"Let's go with Xinyue, then."

Seeing the class had reached a consensus, the teacher finalized it.

"Woohoo!"

The classroom suddenly erupted into enthusiastic applause.

Li Chengcheng, however, looked as if she had been struck by lightning. She raised her head in disbelief and looked toward Zhao Xinyue.

Their eyes met in midair.

One was full of superiority, satisfaction, and mockery.

The other was full of despair and numbness.

It was as if fate was deliberately making life difficult for her.

The very leader of those who had bullied her was now chosen to represent the entire class to meet Mihoyo, the very spiritual support she had relied on during her darkest times.

This was far more painful than being bullied, it was like a sharp needle piercing her wounds.

But she had already grown numb.

Mihoyo was coming. Blade was coming. But none of it had anything to do with her, someone forgotten, about to disappear like garbage.

She lowered her head again, her soul as lifeless as dried vines.

At that moment,

Suddenly, a thunderous cheer erupted from the hallway outside.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Brother Blade!"

"March 7th!"

"Holy crap! Robin!"

"Mihoyo's boss is here too!"

"Ahhhhhh!"

The sudden cheers left everyone in the classroom stunned.

Then their hearts began to race!

Even Zhao Xinyue, who had maintained control of the situation, could no longer keep calm. Her face flushed red as she stared wide-eyed at the door.

"Wh-What's going on?"

The teacher was drenched in sweat. This wasn't what he had been told.

Weren't Mihoyo's guests supposed to be waiting downstairs?

Why were they suddenly launching a surprise visit?

Ring ring ring!

The phone rang.

The teacher hurried to answer.

It was the principal calling, clearly flustered as well.

"Mihoyo's guests want… they want to engage with the students in a more casual, approachable way! They randomly selected a class, and it's your class! Be ready! Don't embarrass us!"

The principal gave a stern warning.

The teacher was now drenched in sweat.

He hung up the phone and was just about to tell the students to prepare,

When the classroom door was suddenly pushed open.

Everyone instinctively looked toward it.

Then silence fell.

Standing at the door was a tall, handsome man with stylish clothing.

He wasn't a widely known celebrity, but many still recognized him.

Mihoyo's boss. Xia Wen.

And behind him, was Blade, in a simple jacket and sunglasses, and March 7th, full of energy in her pink, girlish outfit.

Of course, Robin was also there, in a flowing long dress with a gentle, elegant aura.

These familiar yet surreal faces made the entire classroom feel like they were dreaming.

"Hello, students."

Xia Wen smiled cheerfully and waved as he led the group inside.

The classroom was filled with nervous excitement. Some were even too stunned to breathe.

Even the naughtiest kids now sat upright, mouths agape, not daring to move.

The only student still standing was Zhao Xinyue.

Naturally, the celebrities' eyes all fell on the person in the center, her.

Being watched by so many stars made Zhao Xinyue's heart race. Her face still held the most perfect, well-practiced smile.

She had heard the teacher's phone call just now too.

Whether it was by class vote or random selection, Zhao Xinyue knew, she had already won.

She would be the center of attention at this school, maybe even envied by countless netizens.

But at this delicate moment, Li Chengcheng in the back row stared blankly at Blade and the others at the door.

Tears streamed silently down her cheeks.

The teacher hurried forward and said, "Sirs and madams, this is all so sudden. We weren't prepared for a welcoming ceremony."

"But our class has already selected a student to participate in the charity activity, Zhao Xinyue. She's ready."

After saying this, the teacher gave Zhao Xinyue a look.

Zhao Xinyue smiled sweetly and was just about to say something polite, when she suddenly noticed Xia Wen's expression.

Xia Wen's lips curled up slightly, disinterested in her.

His eyes did not even reflect her figure.

This blatant diregard made Zhao Xinyue's prepared speech catch in her throat.

She even wondered if she had imagined it.

However, it wasn't just Xia Wen.

The coldness in Blade's eyes behind her were even deeper.

Zhao Xinyue suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

The sense of superiority she had just felt from being pushed to the forefront due to her performance had now turned into confusion and fear.

If it were just an ordinary person, Zhao Xinyue wouldn't have felt such enormous pressure.

But these were people from MiHoYo.

From young to old, all admired across nations.

They were true superstar celebrities.

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."

Xiang Wen withdrew his gaze and shook hands with the teacher.

Then he smiled and said, "But we believe there's no need to finalize the candidate right away, because just now, we discovered someone else in the class who better fits our criteria."

They had deliberately arrived early but kept quiet about it for this very reason.

Xia Wens had done detailed research on everyone's situation at school, especially what Li Chengcheng had been through.

As for Zhao Xinyue, who acted one way in public and another in private, maintaining her carefully crafted persona, to the people from MiHoYo, that was way too immature.

So they easily identified the true culprit behind the bullying.

Thus, they changed their plan.

The bully must be brought to justice, and following the suggestions of Robin, March 7th, and Himeko, they decided to take this precious opportunity to truly rescue Li Chengcheng.

"Oh, is… is that so?"

"No problem, we'll respect your choice."

Though confused, the teacher still readily agreed.

MiHoYo's rejection made Zhao Xinyue's face go completely pale.

Many classmates had shocked expressions on their faces.

She stood frozen in place, not knowing what to do, not even sure whether she should sit down.

The gazes from the surrounding classmates suddenly became so sharp they seemed to sting.

But the MiHoYo group couldn't be bothered with her.

Blade took the lead and walked toward the back row.

Of course, when faced with the enthusiastic fans, he still nodded politely in response.

March 7th and Robin quickly followed behind.

"Hi everyone~" March 7th cheerfully waved to both sides.

"Hello, students." Robin also smiled and greeted everyone.

They all walked past Zhao Xinyue, and the expressions, actions, and gazes of all three completely ignored her.

This wasn't just some coincidence.

It was deliberate, plain and simple.

With this interaction, the students' natural liveliness returned!

"Waaah! March 7th! So beautiful!"

"Miss Robin! Can I get your autograph?"

No one cared about Zhao Xinyue, and no one realized she was being targeted.

But Zhao Xinyue felt it herself.

This 'act' from them was undisguised, profound, and direct.

For the first time, she experienced what it felt like to be humiliated.

She, who used to be adored like the moon among stars, was now being ignored.

And without any explanation.

A wave of grievance surged in her heart, her eyes filled with tears.

She didn't even dare feel resentment toward Blade and the others, and instead desperately searched her memory, what had she done to offend them?

At that moment, amid the greetings and interactions, everyone's gaze followed the trio to the back row.

They walked up to Li Chengcheng, who had never dared to lift her head.

"Huh?"

"No way…"

Seeing the three top stars from MiHoYo stop in front of Li Chengcheng, the entire classroom fell silent.

That silence finally caught Li Chengcheng's attention.

She instinctively looked up.

What she saw was Blade looking down at her from above.

Blade said nothing, just pulled out a handkerchief and held it out to her.

Meanwhile, March 7th and Robin saw the scars and traces of tears on her face, clear signs of abuse.

A flash of heartache and anger passed through their eyes.

March 7th took a moment to gather herself, then showed her usual lively smile.

"Chengcheng, we're here to pick you!"

At that moment, March 7th's bright smile was like a little sun.
