Chapter 48 Ugly Duckling's Rise to Power: She Squeezes Out the School Beauty and Becomes a Coup
After saying that, the boy casually put his hand on Ye Xingchen's shoulder and couldn't help but complain, "This Mu Wanwan doesn't even take a piss and look in the mirror. Her face is covered with black freckles, and her bangs are almost touching her chin. She doesn't even know how to cut them. She doesn't look like a girl at all. She's disgusting to look at. She's so ugly that she's dragging down the overall appearance of our class."
"Hahahaha!" The other students burst into laughter, and some even joined in, listing Mu Wanwan's shortcomings, as if they had found someone to vent their emotions on.
Previously, Ye Xingchen had almost no interest in Mu Wanwan. No matter how her classmates or those outside the class slandered her, he remained unmoved. But today, when her classmates slandered her again, his brow furrowed slightly, and an indescribable sense of irritation welled up within him. This feeling made him extremely frustrated, unable to maintain his usual calm and composure.
The image of Mu Wanwan's exquisite and beautiful face involuntarily appeared in his mind.
He couldn't help but ask himself, "Is Mu Wanwan really that ugly?"
The answer is no. In fact, Mu Wanwan is not only not ugly, but stunningly beautiful. So why has she chosen to pretend to be ugly all these years? This question made Ye Xingchen think deeply.
Ye Xingchen frowned, his mind a jumble of unresolved questions. The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became. The boy seemed completely oblivious to his change in mood, casually placing his hand on Ye Xingchen's shoulder and chatting with the other students around him, his conversation revolving entirely around Mu Wanwan's disgraceful behavior, every word filled with contempt and slander.
Ye Xingchen was extremely annoyed. He suddenly swung his arm and forcefully pushed away the boy's hand that was on his shoulder. His eyes were cold and his tone was serious as he said, "Can't you see that class is about to start? If you don't want to attend class, get out of here right now!"
The boy was startled by his sudden action, lost his balance, and stumbled to the ground. He scrambled to his feet, rubbing his sore bottom, a look of surprise on his face. "Class monitor, what happened to you?" he asked, puzzled.
Ye Xingchen had never spoken to them in such a stern tone before, and the boys wondered if it was because their voices were too loud and disturbing Ye Xingchen's studies.
No one knew the real reason for Ye Xingchen's anger; all they knew was that his face was frighteningly gloomy. Seeing that Ye Xingchen didn't answer him, the boy rubbed his bottom sheepishly, not daring to say another word, and quickly returned to his seat. The others had originally hoped that Ye Xingchen would chat and laugh with them, but instead, he scolded them, which made them feel very bored, so they all returned to their seats.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and the school beauty, Lin Jingya, slowly walked into the classroom carrying her textbooks.
Her beautiful and charming figure attracted everyone's attention.
The moment she stepped into the classroom, she immediately sensed something was wrong—the atmosphere in the classroom seemed unusually tense and oppressive.
Lin Jingya was filled with doubt. She couldn't help but look at her classmates around her. Everyone was sitting in their seats. The classroom was so quiet that it was suffocating.
This is so unusual! Usually at this time, the students are always noisy and only quiet down when the teacher enters the classroom. Today, everyone is actually in the pre-class preparation state early.
Lin Jingya subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall and realized there were still five minutes before class. She frowned, wondering to herself, "Why is everyone getting ready for class so early today?"
As she was pondering, her gaze inadvertently fell on Ye Xingchen, who was sitting at the same table. She gently placed her book on the table and then slowly sat down next to Ye Xingchen.
She glanced at Ye Xingchen out of the corner of her eye and saw that he had his brows furrowed and his expression was serious, as if he had encountered something troublesome.
Ye Xingchen's thoughts had already flown far away, his mind filled with Mu Wanwan's face, completely unaware that the school beauty had landed beside him.
"Xingchen, this is for you!"
Her voice stood out in the classroom at that moment. A heart-shaped box was placed on Ye Xingchen's book. She lowered her voice, her cheeks slightly flushed, and leaned close to Ye Xingchen's ear.
"Imported chocolate! My parents brought it back from abroad, here you can try it."
Ye Xingchen and Lin Jingya were both the most handsome and beautiful students at school, and they were in the same class and even sat next to each other.
Their relationship at Da Chuan School was already an open secret. Although no one had ever confirmed it with the two of them, their frequent sight of each other in the cafeteria on their way to and from school had already proven that they were a couple.
Ye Xingchen didn't know what was wrong with him today; he rejected the school beauty's advances without any hesitation.
He gently pushed the exquisite box back onto her table and said firmly, "Since it was brought back from abroad, it must be very precious. You should keep it for yourself, and besides, I don't really like sweets."
The whole class was stunned! They stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief—the school beauty had actually been ruthlessly rejected by the school heartthrob!
The students looked at each other in bewilderment, but dared not utter a sound, and could only silently watch the drama unfold.
Some classmates engaged in a heated brainstorming session, speculating that the class monitor's bad mood today might be due to a conflict with the school beauty. After all, everyone had witnessed the class monitor unhesitatingly reject the school beauty's attempts to reconcile.
Lin Jingya's face turned bright red instantly after being rejected, as if she were being burned by a raging fire.
She quickly lowered her head, brushing aside the stray strands of hair behind her ears, trying to use them to cover her burning cheeks, as if only by doing so could she slightly conceal her inner embarrassment.
At this moment, the teacher walked into the classroom, and the students immediately resumed their serious and attentive demeanor, beginning to concentrate on listening to the lesson. Everyone regarded what had just happened as just a playful interaction between young lovers.
Ye Xingchen was distracted throughout the entire day of classes.
Mu Wanwan had a very low profile here before, perhaps because she never missed a class in the past. Her sudden absence from class made her seem to have disappeared, and Ye Xingchen felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
As soon as he left the school gate after school, Lin Jingya chased after him with her schoolbag on her back.
"Star, wait for me!"
Ye Xingchen paused for a moment, and Lin Jingya jogged to catch up with him. She was panting heavily, her hands on her knees.
"Stars, let's go back together!"
Lin Jingya and Ye Xingchen also live in the same community, but Ye Xingchen lives in Block A and Lin Jingya lives in Block B.
Ye Xingchen couldn't refuse, so the two went back together. On the way, Lin Jingya couldn't help but ask him, "Xingchen, what's wrong with you today? You seem strange!"
Lin Jingya couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, but he was just acting strangely today.
"no!"
Seeing that she couldn't get an answer, she didn't press the matter further. When the two parted, Lin Jingya took out the chocolate, stuffed it directly into Ye Xingchen's arms, and ran away, leaving Ye Xingchen no chance to refuse.
He looked helplessly at the box of chocolates in his arms, wondering how to deal with this hot potato. He knew his parents would keep asking him questions when he got home, and just thinking about it gave him a headache.
As they walked, they unknowingly arrived at their doorstep. A figure appeared before them; it was Mu Wanwan who came out of the yard. Her gaze was fixed on the chocolate box in Ye Xingchen's hand, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
