Chapter 8: Chen Yuan, Someone is Looking for You

Unlike in anime and manga where transfer students attract attention due to their special status, in reality, transfer students are popular for only two reasons: one is the novelty.

The other requires high looks to unlock.

A girl like Zhou Fu, with her appearance, is actually one of a few in the class, but only she can be called a true Sona.

This kind of maturity beyond her age, this budding innocence, easily stirs the desires of healthy teenagers, making her the very culprit of corrupting youth—lust.

For the class's "natives," this is an opportunity to rebuild their image. All the foolish things they've done in the past, all the embarrassing moments, can be erased. Moreover, with a beauty of this level, the boys in the class naturally display peacock-like behavior, subtly showing off to attract her attention.

For example, leaning against the wall in the classroom aisle, suddenly shouting "What are you doing, ouch," or spinning a basketball.

Not bad, very interesting mating psychology.

"Also, peacocks don't really stick out their butts, Zhou Yu, calm down a bit."

"This girl seems very approachable," Zhou Yu, still leaning on his desk, said to Chen Yuan, "When her desk mate called her to the restroom, she went along, even holding hands like good sisters."

"Making friends with the girls in the restroom on the first day, it looks like she won't be bullied."

"Let me tell you a secret," Zhou Yu covered his mouth and whispered in Chen Yuan's ear, "She kept sneaking glances at me during class."

"Ha ha."

Chen Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Jealous, aren't you? Hope your brother does well, don't you?"

"Really, I'm happy for you."

Poor Zhou Yu, so young and already cross-eyed.

She was clearly looking at me.

"Do you believe me, if Zhou Fu comes over, I just need to greet her, and she will definitely respond."

"Anyone would respond, right?"

"She will respond with a shy smile."

"Really, brother? Going that far?" Chen Yuan put on a worried look and advised, "Why don't you add her on QQ first, spy on her space, secretly like her profile, and send a mass holiday greeting to trick her into replying, then hide under the covers and squirm like a worm."

"No, this might be my only chance in life. Look at those perverted boys in the class, they're all competing without any limits. Time doesn't wait... wait, are you mocking me?"

Of course.

Chen Yuan knew Zhou Yu best. A giant in words, a Yordle in action. Every time he said he would flirt with a girl, he wouldn't even dare to say hi on QQ, and when they met, he would shrink his head into his neck, all about "we all love crazy fantasies."

"Alright, good luck. I'll greet her too in a bit."

Of course, at this moment, Chen Yuan always gave encouragement.

The dull school life relies on these little bits of fun to sustain it.

"Here she comes."

Chen Yuan whispered.

Zhou Yu nodded, his expression focused as he waited for her to come over.

But as she passed by, his hand suddenly froze, not even lifting, and his eyes involuntarily avoided her. When she was about to pass, he slowly turned around, pretending to write in his notebook.

"What's wrong with him?" Zhou Fu was puzzled and asked Chen Yuan curiously.

"Nothing, Batman told him he wouldn't hit him if he went back to Gotham, so he really went back."

Chen Yuan wanted to laugh, he really did.

"Uh..."

Zhou Fu pushed her glasses up, looking at the somewhat mischievous Chen Yuan, then at the meekly bullied Zhou Yu, her cheeks suddenly blushing. Then, she pushed her glasses up again and changed the subject: "I heard you're also a commuter, right?"

"Yes, I rent a place outside."

"Me too, it's so great."

"Why? Your parents aren't from here?"

"No, I live at home, but that's why I want to rent a place outside."

"Don't, why rent when you have a home? Eating at home is so much better. Cooking, cleaning, and making the bed are just torture." Who wouldn't want to be a little prince with everything served on a platter?

Living alone has one advantage, though: you can freely...

...upload videos to platforms as an up主 (UP main).

"Y-Yeah, that's true." Zhou Fu awkwardly nodded and then took out her phone. "Since we're both commuters, can I ask you if I have any questions?"

"Sure."

Chen Yuan casually took out his phone and let her scan the code. Then, he realized she wanted to add him on WeChat, not QQ.

Maybe it's just a matter of habit.

But apart from Zhou Yu's WeChat, he hadn't added anyone else's in the class.

After all, for Chen Yuan, WeChat was just a platform for transferring money to old friends.

After adding WeChat, a classmate called Zhou Fu, and she ran over.

Pudding, pudding.

"Damn, how did you start chatting and even add WeChat? Dog, are you even going to compete for this?"

Hugging Chen Yuan's neck, Zhou Yu feigned the anger of a brother whose love was stolen.

Just now, he was a black-and-white clown, now he was a red-hot clown, making a perfect pair of aces.

"Calm down, maybe she just wants to get closer to you through me. Didn't you see she didn't give me a shy smile?"

"..."

After being comforted, Zhou Yu seemed to suddenly come to his senses, lifting his head to look at Zhou Fu.

At that moment, their gazes met.

This exquisite, slightly plump girl, with a blush on her cheeks, secretly glanced back at him, giving the same shy smile she had during class.

Chen Yuan, you're a genius!

She's actually playing this game, the new transfer student is quite skilled!

His face showed a lecherous smile, his eyes shining like they were covered in lard, Zhou Yu was already in a frenzy.

And there were a whole row of boys with the same symptoms.

At the same time, he savored the transfer student's glances and smiles.

Yeah, she likes me.

Eh, so young.

Who was she looking at, don't I know who sits in front of her?

"..." Seeing Chen Yuan's suddenly refined and confident demeanor, He Sijiao could only sigh inwardly.

Poor boys, played by the E-cup girl.

After a morning of classes and breaks, the excitement over the transfer student gradually subsided.

At lunchtime, with the freshmen about to flood the cafeteria after their military training, the students in the class rushed to the cafeteria to secure a spot for a hot meal.

"Come on, let's eat!" Zhou Yu urged.

"Haven't had breakfast, I'm starving, I could eat a whole pig raw." Chen Yuan closed his book and got up to go eat.

"Yoyo's mom brought lunch... Can I eat with you guys?"

After a morning of interaction, Zhou Fu, besides getting along well with her desk mate Li Yoyo, had the most communication with the front desk's Chen Yuan and He Sijiao, so she actively asked to join.

The saying "those closest to the water get the moonlight first" is indeed true.

Faced with this request, before Chen Yuan could answer, Zhou Yu kept secretly poking him—agree, quickly, are you mute?

It was clear that Zhou Yu really wanted this stepmom.

Don't push it, we're just normal classmates, even though she does pay attention to me in secret.

"Sure, let's go, hurry up."

Seeing Chen Yuan agree, she glanced at the unusually small Zhou Yu next to him, her glasses flashing with a wise light.

Naturally, she stood next to He Sijiao.

He Sijiao: "?"

Huh?

I'm not eating with Chen Yuan, what's going on?

"Chen Yuan, someone is looking for you."

At that moment, a classmate at the door called out to him.

Then, a strand of black hair entered his field of vision, followed by a girl holding a large lunch box, cautiously peering in, only revealing half of her small face.
