Chapter 137: School Opening Ceremony
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As she spoke, the senior looked past Zheng Yue and glanced at Murong Qiao. She could tell that she really did not intend to partic.i.p.ate in the school opening ceremony, and so her eyes couldn’t help but reveal a hint of pity.
“Since you were recommended by Student Murong Qiao, you must be very capable. Are you willing to speak on stage as the representative of the freshmen?” The senior changed her target to Zheng Yue and repeated what she had just said.
In fact, the school had originally decided on Murong Qiao as the representative, but no one expected Murong Qiao to reject this matter and even give this opportunity to Zheng Yue.
Other than Murong Qiao, Zheng Yue was the only girl in the top ten of the cohort. Both of their results were outstanding, and Zheng Yue was indeed qualified to be the representative.
However, this time, her tone with Zheng Yue was clearly not as enthusiastic as she was with Murong Qiao.
The invitation to Zheng Yue was more like a formal invitation.
Sensing the change in the other party’s tone, Zheng Yue acutely sensed the other party’s different att.i.tude towards her. She pursed her lips and nodded in agreement.
The matter of Zheng Yue speaking as the representative of the new students was decided.
After bidding farewell to the senior, everyone planned to return to the dormitory directly, mainly because they did not want to feel the baptism of gazes with Murong Qiao.
However, after returning to the dormitory, the atmosphere seemed to be indescribably stagnant.
As soon as Murong Qiao returned, she sat in her seat and sent a message to her Big Brother, Murong Chen, telling him that she was doing well in school and that she did not notice anything wrong with the atmosphere in the dormitory.
Zheng Yue on the other hand, held her cell phone excitedly and replied to her senior’s message.
She must cherish this opportunity as this was a good opportunity for the entire grade to get to know her.
As for Yang Xin, she was very careless. At this moment, she was sitting beside Zheng Yue. She neither congratulated nor joked with her. She just said that she had benefited from a.s.sociation with Murong Qiao and actually obtained such a good opportunity. And that it was simply a stroke of luck that fell into her lap.
Jiang Weiwei listened to Yang Xin and Zheng Yue sitting happily at the side, talking and laughing, but her mind was in a mess.
She couldn’t even read her favorite book anymore. She was extremely frustrated.
Her gaze was empty as it casually landed on a certain spot. She was thinking about what had just happened.
Why did Murong Qiao recommend Zheng Yue but not her?
Jiang Weiwei took a deep breath, feeling a little unbalanced.
Zheng Yue’s results were already so outstanding. Sooner or later, she would be recognized by the Student Union. This opportunity was the most suitable for her. Could Murong Qiao not see this?
Because of this, Jiang Weiwei’s impression of Murong Qiao had deproved a lot.
However, why should Murong Qiao give this opportunity to Jiang Weiwei?
Jiang Weiwei didn’t seem to understand this at all. She sat there alone and sulked. Her expression was terrible. She almost wrote the words “I’m in a bad mood” on her face so that others could see her better.
“What happened to her?” Sensing that something was wrong, Yang Xin lowered her voice and asked Zheng Yue.
She had a smile on her face when she returned. Why did Jiang Weiwei become unhappy in such a short time?
Yang Xin looked at her cold face and was a little confused.
Zheng Yue also glanced at Jiang Weiwei, who was obviously in a bad state, and had the same question as Yang Xin.
However, the two of them quickly ignored this point and started talking happily again.
This made Jiang Weiwei, who wanted to vent her frustrations, feel very depressed. She looked at the two of them aggrievedly and became even angrier.
As for Murong Qiao, ever since she came back, she had been sitting in her seat. After sending the message to Big Brother, she couldn’t help but think of the person she had seen outside today.
Could it be Huo Yichen?
Murong Qiao thought uncertainly.
The night was dark, and everyone returned to their beds to rest.
Unlike the excited and enthusiastic noises of the other dormitory, Room 316 was shockingly quiet.
The day and night rotated, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the school opening ceremony.
Although the time was set at six o’clock in the evening, many people still arrived at the event location early, including the four people from 316.
“Is that the top scorer of the college entrance examination?”
“What a beautiful girl!”
“It’s fine if her results are good, but she’s also so good-looking!”
“Is she going to let us live?”
Along the way, there were more discussions about Murong Qiao than yesterday.
Almost everyone present was a freshman. Many people were very familiar with Murong Qiao’s face and immediately recognized her.
Although everyone was whispering, the sound of their voices could not be ignored. For a moment, the entire hall was buzzing.
Murong Qiao casually found a seat and sat down, trying her best to ignore the gazes around her.
She could already predict what her university life would be like in the future.
Murong Qiao resisted the urge to sigh, and the waves in her heart slowly calmed down.
In short, she felt numb.
However, she did not know that just sitting here was enough to provide people with topics to talk about.
Murong Qiao’s stunning face alone attracted a lot of criticism.
“Who do you think looks better, her or that soph.o.m.ore Lin Xu?”
Someone provoked and exclaimed. His voice was not loud, but the surrounding people could hear him.
The Lin Xu he was talking about was a soph.o.m.ore senior who was currently the vice president of the Student Union. She was very capable and was friendly and gentle when dealing with people. She usually helped her cla.s.smates solve problems, so her results were naturally ranked in the top few. She was recognized as the belle of the department. Like Murong Qiao, she was also in the Economic Management major.
However, the faculty belle had become a person of the past now that Murong Qiao had appeared.
“It has to be her. How can Lin Xu be as beautiful as her?”
“I don’t think so. Lin Xu’s facial features are so pure in my heart.”
“They’re all pretty good-looking, right? If I have to choose one…”
This ranking seemed to have become a joy for the students. As soon as this topic was raised, everyone began to argue.
If Lin Xu was a gentle lily, then Murong Qiao was more like an outstanding and gorgeous rose. One was elegant, and the other was pa.s.sionate.
The argument grew louder and louder, even reaching her ears.
“Lin Xu? 1 think she’s our senior.” When Zheng Yue heard this name, she had an image in her mind.
Yang Xin’s interest was piqued. She was curious about this person called Lin Xu.
After all, Murong Qiao was the most beautiful person she had ever seen. Yang Xin didn’t think anyone could compare to Murong Qiao.
“h.e.l.lo, everyone.”
Amidst the discussion, another protagonist slowly appeared.
Lin Xu appeared at the entrance of the hall and looked at the unprecedentedly lively hall and raised her hand to greet everyone.
As representatives of the soph.o.m.ores, they naturally had to come over to help during this school opening ceremony, not to mention that Lin Xu was the vice president of the student union.
“h.e.l.lo, senior!!!”
In an instant, the boys’ deafening voices came from the surroundings.
It was obvious from their tone that Lin Xu was really popular in school..
