She Has Good Grades and Nice Hair

Chapter Courtesy: Wang Mei

It was Monday, the official first day of school at City A’s No. 1 Private School.

On Shen Wanying’s shoulder hung the school-issued bag. A smile on her face, she was quietly walking towards the school after the winter vacation. There were many students like her; they walked or ran to school. But most of them would glance at her when they passed by.

“Look! Look over there! It’s our Lady!”

“It’s a new semester and our Lady is still as beautiful and graceful as always!”

“How are her grades so good without her going bald from all the studying?”

“You! Just roll!”

The comments from her classmates were loud enough to be heard by Shen Wanying. Usually, she would favor them with Lady Shen’s elegant and dignified smile. Consequently, more eyes would fall on her.

Shen Wanying had long been accustomed to people’s gazes. She raised her hand to brush her hair aside and continued to walk towards her class.

“Did she just show off how thick her hair is?”

Shen Wanying: “——”

This student seems obsessed with her hair.

“Perhaps curly hair will make it appear more voluminous.”

“Then, I will perm my hair after school to make it curly!”

“Wake up girl… The school doesn’t allow you to have a perm.”

“Damn it!”

Currently, the subject of their conversation calmly walked into the school building.

Shen Wanying’s hair naturally had a slight curl, inherited from her mother. Because her mother was a quarter British, her hair wasn’t pure black but a tad brown.

She walked into the classroom at 7:15 a.m., fifteen minutes before the early self-study.

There weren’t many students in the classroom. They were all chatting in groups of two’s and three’s. Seeing Shen Wanying coming in, everyone greeted her and then went back to their own conversations. After putting down her school bag, Shen Wanying glanced at the boy sitting next to her.

All the seats in their class were separated by a single row. The student next to her was currently sleeping. His name was Ji Yao, the first in their grade.

Ji Yao’s parents were both teachers in their school. Considering the pressure from the high school, his parents made him live in the teacher’s dormitory. Because of this, he was always the first person to come to the classroom every day. Though, it made no difference since the only thing he did in class was sleep. Yet, he always managed to take first place.

Besides being the top student, he was blessed with a handsome face. As such, he had his share of avid fans. And why not, as all the girls in the school were quite realistic about the object of their adoration.

A girl in the corner saw Shen Wanying watching Ji Yao and whispered to her friend, “Do you think Lady Shen likes Ji Yao?”

“Ah?” the other student whispered back, “If it’s really like that, then she is my opponent. Doesn’t that mean there’s no hope for me?”

“Oh! Did you really think you had hope?”

” … “

While they were busy gossiping, Shen Wanying had already sat down and taken out her textbook. Soon, more and more students walked in. As soon as the teacher entered, everyone began to study in earnest. It was only Ji Yao who was still sleeping soundly. Seeing this, the teacher came over and knocked on his desk twice, but he didn’t show any signs of waking up. Knowing he couldn’t do anything else, the teacher only shook his head and walked away.

After self-study, the teacher led in an unfamiliar boy garbed in the school’s uniform into the classroom. Suddenly seeing a new person, the students became excited.

“What’s happening??? Is this handsome guy a transfer student?”

“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, he is really handsome!”

“Is he transferring into our class? He looks even more handsome than Ji Yao!”

“You can praise him for being handsome, but don’t step on our Ji Yao!”

There was so much noise that Shen Wanying couldn’t help but look up at him.

The moment Huo Cheng stepped into the classroom, he saw Shen Wanying sitting quietly. This was his first time seeing the real 17-year-old Shen Wanying. She looked even better than in the photos. Her hair was longer than when they got married and had a classic bow hairpin in it.

Huo Cheng saw her looking at him. Her eyes met his for a moment before she quickly looked away.

“Okay, everyone quiet!” The teacher smacked his desk to calm down the restless students.

“Quiet! This is your new classmate who transferred to our class today. Let him introduce himself first.”

All the students single-mindedly looked towards Huo Cheng, in anticipation of his introduction.

Even after being the center of attention, Huo Cheng’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He said succinctly, “Hello everyone, my name is Huo Cheng.”

With that, the whole classroom went quiet. Apparently, everyone was still waiting for him to continue introducing himself. So, after an awkward three seconds, the teacher noticed something was wrong and asked, “Are you done?”

“Done.”

“Ok.” The teacher pacified the noisy class and wrote Huo Cheng’s name on the blackboard. Then, he arranged a seat for him, “Just sit by the window.”

“En.” Huo Cheng nodded and walked towards the seat with Shen Wanying’s bag on it.
