Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Slapping the Fake Heiress 16
"Weāll take care of you."
Many students from Class 12 cheered loudly.
As they cheered, Anningās face turned even redder.
Teacher Wu raised her hand: "Alright, stop making a fuss and be careful not to scare the new student."
She stood on the podium, looked around for a while, and pointing to a seat in the middle of the classroom next to a boy with brownish-red hair, she said, "Anning, can you sit there for now?"
Anning didnāt mind where she sat; she smiled at Teacher Wu and, with her backpack on, sat down behind the desk.
Not long after Anning sat down, the subject teacher came to give a lecture.
This class was English, and the English teacher was a man in his thirties with the last name Ren.
Teacher Ren was not tall, with a baby face. He was good-natured but slightly lacked authority over the students.
However, his teaching was quite good, and his English was standard and fluent.
Anning sat quietly and listened attentively; she was the most serious student in the class, no fidgeting or whispering.
This greatly boosted Teacher Renās enthusiasm for teaching.
He didnāt bother with other students and practically gave one-on-one explanations to Anning the whole class.
Anning felt that studying in Class 12 was really nice, it was like having eight private tutors.
After class, several students gathered around.
One of them, a tall girl wearing a purple wig, came over and patted Anningās desk: "Hey, Iām Gao Nana, if anyone dares to bully you outside, just mention my name, youāre under my protection."
Anningās face had a soft, sweet smile, and she obediently nodded: "Got it, Sister Gao, thanks for looking out for me."
Her smile was so sweet and cute that it made Gao Nanaās hands itch.
She couldnāt help but stroke Anningās hair like petting a cat: "Good girl."
The girl next to Gao Nana also melted from Anningās smile, stretched out her hand and pinched Anningās cheek: "Student Zhao, you are too cute, so soft and adorable, be careful not to get bullied outside."
Anning rubbed her pinched cheek, making it turn red, perhaps a bit painful; she widened her eyes, which were watery, like they contained a pond of autumn water, making her look even more adorable.
Several girls felt their hearts melting, all wanting to pinch Anningās soft cheeks.
However, everyone was quite considerate. Seeing that Anningās cheek turned red from a pinch, knowing her skin was soft and she might feel pain, they all held back the urge to pinch her, which was quite difficult.
"Letās have lunch together at noon."
Gao Nana, not daring to pinch Anningās face but taking advantage of her height, wrapped her arms around Anning.
Anning almost suffocated in her embrace.
She was somewhat speechless and gently pushed Gao Nana away: "I... feel a bit stifled."
Several girls burst into laughter, several taunting that Gao Nana developed too well.
Gao Nana wasnāt shy, and proudly puffed out her chest: "Letās go have lunch after school, my treat."
When she faced Anning, her face was full of smiles; she spoke to Anning with a tone she thought very gentle, as if afraid to scare her: "Can I call you Anning? Iāll treat you to lunch, order whatever you like, no need to be polite with me."
"Sure."
Anning softly agreed: "Sister Gao is being generous today, tomorrow itās on me."
Although the students from Class 12 werenāt great in studies and were somewhat hedonistic, they all came from very wealthy families, either rich or noble, and everyone was financially well-off. Treating each other was just a small gesture for them.
No one thought there was anything wrong with Anning offering to treat everyone.
Everyone thought that since Anning could sit here, she must be from a similar background as them.
As soon as Anning mentioned treating, a few boys near her also gathered around: "How about we all join in and take turns treating each other?"
Gao Nana generously agreed on Anningās behalf.
When Anning had just arrived and was speaking, that blonde-haired guy patted the sleeping boy with bronzed-red hair next to Anning: "Xiao Yuan, are you coming for lunch with us?"
While Anning was talking to Gao Nana, she heard the blonde-haired guy call out for Xiao Yuan and her expression changed slightly.
She couldnāt help but turn around to look at the boy called Xiao Yuan.
Since Anning entered the classroom, this boy had been lying on the desk sleeping; Anning only remembered his bronzed-red hair, but she hadnāt seen his face.
But now when Anning turned around, Xiao Yuan just happened to look up.
Their gazes met directly.
Seeing Xiao Yuanās face, Anning was instantly shocked.
She hadnāt expected to encounter Xiao Yuan.
Yes, this Xiao Yuan and the one who had spent a lifetime with her, loving and doting on her, looked almost exactly the same.
Only their temperaments were somewhat different.
That Xiao Yuan was gentle and reserved like jade, whilst this Xiao Yuan, despite having the same face, carried a somewhat silly and crazy vibe, making one want to punch him a bit.
"Who are you?"
Seeing Anning, Xiao Yuan was initially startled, then scrutinized her with some interest.
The blonde-haired guy leaned in to introduce: "Xiao Yuan, I tell you, my reputation as a heavy sleeper really isnāt baseless. Sheās been here for a whole class, and you still donāt recognize her... come on, let me introduce her to you, this is our classās new girl... Zhao Anning."
The blonde-haired guy also said to Zhao Anning: "Well, let me introduce myself, Iām Zhang Ke, and this is Xiao Yuan."
"Zhao Anning."
While Anning and Zhang Ke were talking, Xiao Yuan got up.
He was tall and had a good build; even the loose school uniform looked tailored on him.
If it werenāt for that red hair, this Xiao Yuan could really pass as the most handsome guy in school, a true campus god.
But that red hair, styled upright like a broom, was striking, and greatly marred his aesthetics.
He took long strides and quickly approached Anning, looking down at her and then broke into a smile.
"Be my girlfriend, Iāll take care of you from now on."
Huh?
The originally noisy classroom suddenly quieted down.
It was as if a lively painting had left a blank space.
After what seemed like a long time, Gao Nana and Zhang Ke burst out laughing.
Especially Gao Nana, who laughed while pointing at Xiao Yuan with a coarse voice: "Hey, can you not be so shameless? This girl just arrived, she doesnāt even know who you are, and you dare to confess?"
Zhang Ke quickly grabbed Xiao Yuan: "Brother, Brother Xiao, my ancestor, letās keep it down, donāt scare away the cute newbie. Itās not easy for our class 12 to get a soft and delicate girl, letās not make her unable to stay even a day before she switches classes."
Angered, Gao Nana lifted her leg, placing her foot on the desk in a carefree manner: "What are you talking about? Arenāt we girls?"
Anning watched as they argued and played around, unable to hold back a smile that creased her eyes.
