What Is Money? (2)

It didn't take long before the three boys left Room 501 together.2

They made the unanimous decision to skip the afternoon classes and marched through the shopping mall. It was only around six in the evening did they finally return with numerous shopping bags in hand.

The following afternoon, Lin Jiage and Lu Benlai hectically took a bath and switched from one clothes to another. With each set of clothes put on, they would seek the opinion of Xia Shangzhou—"How do I look in this?", "How about this?"... This continued on for over an hour before the three of them finally began making their way over to the open French elective class.

...

At first, the ones who were interested in attending the open French elective class were Shi Yao and Leng Nuan. Following that, when He Tiantian and Jiang Yue saw that two of their roommates were going to attend the class, they decided to follow suit.

As the group of four arrived a little late, the seats at the front were already filled by the time they entered the classroom.

There were still a couple of empty seats at the front, but they were separated from one another. Left with no choice, the girls headed further back in the classroom and took four adjacent seats.

Soon after, the class bell rang.

The lecturer was a Frenchman. As he walked into the classroom and settled onto the podium, the classroom door flung open. Three boys stepped into the classroom, right as the bell rang.

These three boys are no stranger to Shi Yao and her group.

The first one to step in was Xia Shangzhou. The class was unfazed by his entrance. As the lecturer had not commenced the class yet, the students continued to tap away on their handphones and soft murmurs could be heard from the crowd. The class was still in disarray.

The second one to step in was Lu Benlai. He was dressed in a flamboyant pink T-shirt that drew gazes from the crowd. The classroom started to quieten down.

The third one to step in was Lin Jiage. He was dressed in white, as usual. However, the buttoned shirt he wore today shaped his lean figure beautifully. Coupled with his waxed, sideward hairstyle which highlighted his forehead—a contrasting difference from his usual flowing hairstyle—he looked like a male lead that had come straight out from a Korean drama.

In the first place, Lin Jiage was a well-known figure in G University. There was a saying amongst the student populace, "If 9 out of 10 students know the name of their principal, all 10 of them would know who Lin Jiage is."

From the moment he stepped into the classroom, all eyes were on him and silence ensued.

However, this silence did not last past a few seconds before Shi Yao heard whispers sounding all around her.

"Wow! Lin Jiage is so handsome!"

"Exactly! This is the first time I am seeing him in person. I have never thought that he would attend this French elective class."

"If I am not wrong, the next French elective class will be filled to the brim with people."

Needless to say the others, even Shi Yao was dazzled by Lin Jiage the moment her eyes laid on him. 

Ignoring the stares and whispers, Lin Jiage calmly followed Lu Benlai to the back of the classroom.

The gazes of the crowd followed Lin Jiage to the back of the classroom.

Being similarly curious as to where the boys would sit, Shi Yao, too, allowed her gaze to wander along with the movements of the group toward the back of the classroom.

But, as Lin Jiage got closer and closer towards her, Shi Yao started to tense up.

To make matters worse, his steps started to slow as he arrived at the row she was sitting at. Her hand unconsciously tightened around the pen she was holding.

Lin Jiage... Could it be that… he was intending to sit beside her?
