269: A New Classmate

A New Classmate

The car drove at a decent speed. After arriving at the entrance of Jingyang High School, Mo Zhu didn't talk much to Huo Xuan. She carried her bag and got out of the car as she walked quickly. As soon as she entered Class Eight, she laid on her seat and started catching up on her sleep.1

Ever since her grandmother passed away, her insomnia had become more and more severe. Not only was it easy to be woken up by trivial sounds when she slept at night, but it was also much more difficult for her to fall asleep than before.

Kang Wan walked slowly and followed Mo Zhu into the room. She glanced coldly at the back view of the girl who was lying on the table and obediently returned to her seat.

Not long later, the bell rang. The form teacher, Li Xiao, pushed the door open and brought a young lady to the podium.

He picked up the blackboard duster and knocked on the table to signal for everyone to be quiet. After the students stopped chattering, Li Xiao cleared his throat and said, "Before everyone starts class, I have to announce something. From today onwards, Xing Meng will be studying with the students in Class Eight. In the future, everyone will help each other to achieve greater progress."

Just as he finished speaking, the students of Class Eight had ugly expressions on their faces. The atmosphere was different from when Kang Wan had come. At that time, everyone was curious about Beijing and thus were more passionate. Now that they were facing Xing Meng, the students did not have the slightest curiosity, only fear.

Through the expressions of the people below the stage, Li Xiao understood everyone's thoughts. As a teacher of Jingyang High School, he knew about some of Xing Meng's previous actions.

Sighing helplessly, Li Xiao pointed at the empty seats in the last row and said to Xing Meng, "Xing Meng, there are already quite a number of new students who have been transferred into this class. There aren't many seats left. Make do with it in the back row first. If there's anything that's not suitable you can tell me and I will adjust it the next time we adjust our seats as a class."

Li Xiao pinched the space between his eyebrows. He was a little unsure about the school's intentions. Previously, it was understandable that Mo Zhu was assigned to Class Eight because her results were not good. However, now that the college entrance examination was imminent, not only did the school assign the good students from Beijing to Class Eight, but they had also transferred a tyrant like Xing Meng.

He was really afraid that the students of Class Eight would not be able to study in peace under these layers of pressure.

After hearing Li Xiao's arrangement, Xing Meng smiled politely. "Alright, teacher."

In front of everyone, Xing Meng placed her bag on the empty seat, but she did not sit down. Instead, she stood up and walked two steps to the aisle beside Meng Ran. She patted the girl's shoulder gently and asked with a smile, "Hi classmate, I really like your seat, are you willing to exchange seats with me?"

When Meng Ran saw Xing Meng's face appear in front of her, her mind was filled with the scene where she had broken her arms and legs. Fear welled up in her heart little by little. She was so afraid that she trembled and could not say a complete sentence. "I, I…"

When Mo Zhu heard this, she suddenly sat up and slammed the table. Her cold gaze swept across Xing Meng as she said in a low voice, "Don't provoke her. Hurry up and get lost."

After the commotion between the two of them, the atmosphere of Class Eight instantly became tense. The students all sat in their seats obediently, not daring to breathe loudly. Even Kang Wan, who had never taken these people from Cloud City seriously, was shocked by Xing Meng and Mo Zhu.

Just as everyone thought that there was no way to avoid a fierce battle in the class, Xing Meng raised her eyes and smiled. She combed the hair that had fallen a little as she spoke and replied politely, "Mo Zhu, don't be so angry. We're all classmates in the future. Since you don't want to be my deskmate, I'll go to the back."

After saying this, Xing Meng turned her head nimbly and returned to the seat that Li Xiao had arranged for her to sit down. She started tidying the textbooks in her bag obediently.

Kang Wan watched the show from the side. Seeing that the two of them were no longer arguing, she touched her chin and started daydreaming, deep in thought.

As a daughter of a prestigious family who had been raised in the Kang family since she was young, she had more or less heard about the Xing family in Beijing. Although the Kang family's status was not high and they did not have much contact with the Xing family, which could be considered a big family at the top of the pyramid, she had heard about Xing Meng from her elders.

Apart from a few children in the Xing family who had to go into business to take over the family business, the other children were all passionate about practicing martial arts. It was said that this young lady, Xing Meng, was a rare martial arts genius in the entire Xing Meng's hundred years with an excellent constitution. It was also because of this that the Xing family not only started to cultivate her martial arts talent from a young age, but they also hired many capable people from the martial world to teach her skills.
