Mo Wen smiled as Qin Xiaoyu was able to attract someone’s attention anywhere. However, everyone seemed to a.s.sociate Qin Xiaoyu with him as if they were really together.
He was uncertain if Qin Xiaoyu really had feelings towards him as he was too familiar with Qin Xiaoyu and they had always been close. In the eyes of others, they might appear to have some kind of ambiguous relations.h.i.+p, but they didn’t know that they had been like this since high school. Sparks didn’t fly after all these years.
“It is really a pity. w.a.n.g Xiaofei was supposed to be able to get into the List of Campus Beauties. It’s a pity that her popularity was a little low which got her eleventh. However, she will definitely get into the list in next year’s Campus Beauties Election,” w.a.n.g Yuan suddenly lamented as he changed the subject.
In the Campus Beauties election activities, new students were definitely at a disadvantage. Even in their school history, there were rare examples of having new students on the List of Campus Beauties.
After all, the popularity of a new student was naturally incomparable to that of returning students. The returning students had better opportunities to network and build their reputation than the new students. If Qin Xiaoyu did not gain a good reputation during military training, then she might not have a chance to get onto the list.
“It is indeed a pity, or else we will have two new students in this year’s List of Campus Beauties; breaking the historical record of the List of Campus Beauties. Moreover, the two beauties are in our cla.s.s, so we should be proud of them,” Hong Lü sighed as he said lamentingly. Although he was beaten by w.a.n.g Xiaofei during the Military Training Battalion Compet.i.tion, they were bound together as they were in same cla.s.s. w.a.n.g Xiaofei would bring pride and honor to the cla.s.s if she had been in the List of Campus Beauties.
“Currently, our cla.s.s is already very famous. Haven’t you realized that many students of different years have been rubbing shoulders with our cla.s.s these days with the ulterior motive of eyeing the two beauties in our cla.s.s? We better keep a close eye on them. Don’t let those with ulterior motives have their way,” Chen Zhongqing advised the students in the cla.s.s with a big brother disposition. With his character of being loyal and dependable, he was able to rope in many people to be his “brothers” and many in his wide circle of friends were willing to listen to him
“Don’t worry, Brother Chen. We would have kept an eye on those guys without you telling us. We couldn’t let others take advantage of the two pearls in our cla.s.s,” A student said while laughing lightly. Without Chen Zhongqing telling them, the rest of them had already realized their cla.s.s had been receiving attention these days because of the two beauties in cla.s.s.
Mo Wen didn’t listen to their casual talk and walked to an isolated corner and sat down. Then he started translating the Chinese medical book in his hand.
“Have all of you seen the Champion in the List of School Beauties – Mo Qingge? Is she really more beautiful than Qin Xiaoyou?” one of the students asked quizzically.
“That’s right. That Mo Qingge was said to be the champion on the List of School Beauties three years in a row. It was a miracle that a new student was able to be most popular girl in their first year,” said another student.
More people piped up, “I have heard of Mo Qingge before too. She is said to be the leading G.o.ddess in the hearts of all male students as she can only live in the hearts of the people but never up-close and personal.”
“How incredible! I heard that too. The G.o.ddess whom one may view from afar but may not directly interact with. She has the t.i.tle of “Yunmiao Fairy” as she was a G.o.ddess who seemingly tantalizes anyone.”
Mo Wen, who had lowered his head to read a book suddenly lifted his head slightly. G.o.ddess Mo Qingge?
He gave a bitter laugh but was not surprised with Mo Qingge’s popularity. In that past lifetime, Mo Dong’er’s beauty was beyond the ordinary and she was called the most beautiful woman of the martial arts circle. Under the protection of the Mo family, n.o.body dared to get close to her.
However, who could understand the pain and cruelty hidden behind such beauty? The danger of suffering of a highly probable killing every year? How much determination did one need to survive them? A normal person might have commit suicide long ago due to such tremendous psychological pressure.
When suffering from the Ma.s.sacre’s Host, if the person’s will was neglected or relaxed, then the Ma.s.sacre’s Host would attack leading to death. Being able to live and faced this kind of life normally already surpa.s.sed many people’s abilities.
Perhaps they didn’t know that the G.o.ddess in their hearts might pa.s.s away in a month. Even when she survived, she would have to face the same battle the very next year and the year after next. One day, she would become a she-devil and die in a devastating way.
Mo Wen had no doubt that when Mo Qingge would become demonized, then she would instantly be the public enemy. At that time, many would inevitably rise to attack her until she was killed.
Time was ticking away slowly. The lesson would start at two o’clock in the afternoon and it was almost time. At the doorway, there were two girls who came together. Once they entered the cla.s.sroom, they attracted almost all the attention of the cla.s.s.
Mo Wen suddenly felt something was wrong with the atmosphere, the noisy cla.s.sroom just now had become totally silent. He couldn’t help but to lift his head up.
Just a glance and he saw two slender elegant girls walking into the cla.s.sroom; who else but Qin Xiaoyou and w.a.n.g Xiaofei? Both were like sisters during the military training and were seemingly roommates in the same dormitory.
“Mo Wen, you are finally here for cla.s.s today!” Qin Xiaoyou ignored her cla.s.smates’ attention and cast her eyes on Mo Wen instead while running towards him excitedly.
“I was in good mood today,” Mo Wen laughed but didn’t comment on Qin Xiaoyou’s usage of the word “finally”.
“Don’t give me that. It was Miss Shen’s cla.s.s today. Do you dare not to come?” Qin Xiaoyou rolled her eyes at Mo Wen before sitting next to him.
“Xiaoyou, once Mo Wen is here, you just can’t wait to sit next to him. Definitely ditching friends.h.i.+p for a relations.h.i.+p,” w.a.n.g Xiaofei folded her arms and teased. She scanned her eyes over Mo Wen and Qin Xiaoyu with some interest.
“Xiaofei, you should look for Zhang Xin to be your partner. I need to talk to Mo Wen about something,” Qin Xiaoyou cast a glance at w.a.n.g Xiaofei and paid no attention to her tease. Perhaps she had gotten used to it and couldn’t be bothered to explain further, or perhaps Qin Xiaoyou just chose to ignore anyone who teased her about Mo Wen.
“Why can’t I sit here? Who says that only you can sit next to Mo Wen? I will sit here then,” w.a.n.g Xiaofei rolled her eyes and sat beside Qin Xiaoyou. She would like to know why Qin Xiaoyou looked for Mo Wen so often. Initially, she was thinking of sitting close to Mo Wen but he was sitting at the furthest end near the wall with Qin Xiaoyu sitting in the middle. Thus, she could only sit on the outer position.
There was a row of three seats on both sides of the cla.s.sroom. Mo Wen and his company had taken all three seats and they had attracted the attention of almost the whole cla.s.s.
A while after Qin Xiaoyou and w.a.n.g Xiaofei were seated, the seats in front and behind Mo Wen were all occupied. Although it was still a few minutes to the lesson time, they had sat mannerly and motionlessly as if they were worried that their seats might be seized by someone once they stood up.
Mo Wen touched his face and sighed with the realization that these beautiful girls indeed had great charms.
He had chosen this seat near to the back for quietness. However, now there were many empty seats in front of the room while many were seated beside him; or rather, seated beside Qin Xiaoyu and w.a.n.g Xiaofei.
Looking around at those seats that were occupied instantly, Qin Xiaoyou furrowed her brows slightly, not looking very pleased.
“Qin Xiaoyou, what are you going to talk to Mo Wen about?” w.a.n.g Xiaofei blinked her eyes at Qin Xiaoyou and asked with great interest. She was very certain that whatever Qin Xiaoyou was going to ask Mo Wen would now be definitely heard by many people and soon spread throughout the cla.s.s.
