Chapter 109: It Was Actually Her

  After the second class, almost all the students in the grade knew that Bai Xiaoya from Class 15 had transformed overnight, changing from an ugly duckling to a dazzling golden phoenix.

  The chemistry teacher almost stumbled and fell to the ground, after class opened the door, hundreds of little heads squeezed in front of Class 15's door, staring inside with eyes shining like lights, all impatiently wanting to see Bai Xiaoyan's "evolved" appearance.

  "They say the change is huge! From being an ugly duckling to becoming Ikegawa's school flower! Her skin is white and tender, her eyes are clear and spirited, and her figure is slim! She looks like a big, big beauty!"

  The second grade is open. In the 16th class of the third year, a bespectacled classmate sat on his desk, waving his arms exaggeratedly and revealing an astonishing expression.

  A sharp intake of cool air.

  "Really?"

  "Isn't that an exaggeration?!"

  The audience sitting in a circle obviously found it hard to accept this extraordinary fact. Bai Xiaoya and the others had seen her before, after all - short and thin, always wearing large black-framed glasses, with a messy ponytail, and taste in clothes that was as low as it could get. How could she change so much in just one vacation period and become the school flower of Qingchuan? It was truly unbelievable!

  Everyone lowered their heads and discussed it in a flurry, with many classmates shouting that they wanted to go out and experience it for themselves, going to Class 15 in groups.

  At the back of the classroom, looking at a group of people rushing to the door of Class Fifteen with eager eyes, Lu Haocen frowned in disgust.

  "Hey! Old Lu!" Jin Zaiyan walked over from behind, put his hand on his shoulder, and sat down in the seat next to him.

  "How was it? I've completed the task you assigned to me quite well, haven't I?" He smiled complacently, his golden hair shining brightly in the sunlight. From the original ugly duckling, Bai Xiaya had transformed into a super beauty, completely changing her appearance.

  "Yes..." Lu Haocen responded faintly, shifting his gaze out the window in annoyance. The sunlight outside was just right, the scenery of September, forever beautiful to the point of being unforgettable, making one want to forget yet unable to do so.

  Seeing his indifferent expression, Jin Zaiyan pouted and said unpleasantly: "You're really heartless! I spent so much effort helping Xiaoya transform, at least you could praise me a little..."

  If it weren't for Lu Haocen's contract, he would never have done such a difficult thing. In the end, things went smoothly and successfully, but Old Lu still had an air of indifference, which was really infuriating!

  Lu Haochen turned his head and saw Jin Zaiyan's angry expression, so he smiled and said: "I plan to give up that plan."

  "Huh?" Jin hesitated for a moment, "What did you say?"

  "I said I want to give up on the plan to trick Bai Xiaya," Lu Haocen repeated.

  "What?! Jin Yan was shocked, almost jumping up from his seat. His classmates nearby heard the noise and turned to look over. He then lowered his voice, furrowed his brow and said, "Old Lu, are you kidding me? Weren't we supposed to let Yan Feng and Xiao Ya pretend to be in a relationship, then heartlessly dump her? We've been planning for so long, how can you suddenly decide to give up?"

  "I'm not in the mood to joke with you." Lu Haochen glanced at him sideways, his expression calm and serious. "I mean it. Before, I wanted to tease Bai Xiaya because I thought she was fun, but now..."

  He let out a long sigh, tapping his desk lazily and said in a relaxed tone: "It's not that interesting to change into someone else."

  Jin stared at him with an eerie gaze, feeling that Old Lu was no longer the same as before. The former rich young master had tried every means to coerce him into getting close to Bai Xiaya, just to let Bai Xiaya taste the feeling of being dumped, in order to avenge the two punches from "that year".

  But now -

  Looking at Lu Haochen's lazy and sloppy appearance, Jin Zaiyan let out a long sigh of relief.

  "Alright," he patted his palms and stood up, tidying his hair and clothes, smiling, "Anyway, if you're not going to give up, at the critical moment, I might just jump out and stop it! After all, I'm also considered a good friend of Xiaoya's. Compared to watching a good show, friendship is more reliable!"

  After finishing speaking, he put his hands in his pockets and walked out of the classroom with a handsome air.

  Class 35 of Senior Three.

  Old Zhang is facing the blackboard writing calligraphy with a "sandy" sound.

  Back row of the classroom.

  Bai Xue Ya glared at a certain boy for the nth time, picked up her book and used it to cover her face completely.

  The whole morning, she became the "focus of attention" of Ikegawa High School's third grade. Sneaking glances, gossiping, passing notes... all students were doing their best to gather information about Shiragiku Aya.

  Bai Xueya, who was in the limelight, didn't have a moment to herself either. As soon as class ended, she wasn't idle for a second - it was either girls coming over with smiles on their faces asking her what cosmetics she used and what clothes she bought, or boys with ulterior motives approaching her to chat her up and ask for her phone number. In short, this morning was extremely busy.

  Perhaps this is the communication between people. The past affection is worthless, only this changeable skin bag is the most important.

  Bai Xue sighed and fiddled with her pen, twirling it back and forth between her fingers.

  At this time -

  A piece of paper slipped through the air in a parabolic shape and landed accurately on her desk in front of her.

  Bai Xue Ya calmed down, picked up the crumpled paper, and looked around, seeing a certain male classmate smiling at her from not far away. She suddenly understood in her heart and immediately tore the paper to shreds without hesitation.

  And that boy seemed to have his heart torn apart, dejected and disheartened, as he fell head-first onto the table.

  "What's so great about it?"

  In front of the classroom, Yao Xixi turned her head around and bit her lip in anger.

  What is Bai Xueya anyway?! Just put on some makeup, styled her hair fashionably, and she thinks she can soar to great heights and become a phoenix?! A bunch of ignorant fools! They see someone change their appearance and immediately fawn all over them! Have they forgotten how they used to shun her like the plague?!

  Yao Xixi felt more and more indignant. Although she was also shocked by Bai Xiaoya's great change in just one summer vacation, compared to surprise, jealousy was biting her heart even more violently. In the past, that ugly eight-toned monster dared to provoke herself so arrogantly! Now that she has become a phoenix, who knows how arrogant she will be?!

  Gritting her teeth, Yao Xixi clenched her fists with a sense of unwillingness.

  "Alright," wrote on the blackboard, Old Zhang turned around, pushing his glasses and looking at all the classmates in the class.

  "Now, please have a classmate stand up and answer the first question of the homework -"

  As soon as this was said, everyone immediately hung their heads like ostriches to avoid the misfortune of meeting Old Zhang's eyes and getting scolded.

  Old Zhang's gaze swept back and forth across the classroom, finally coming to rest on a corner of the back row, where it paused for a moment.

  "That classmate..." He pushed his glasses, raised his hand and pointed. Suddenly, he felt that the classmate looked familiar but couldn't recall her name. He cleared his throat and said, "The girl with a ponytail in the second to last row."

  The eyes of the classmates followed the direction of Old Liu's finger and saw Bai Xueya slowly standing up with her head down.

  "......" Although he tried hard to recall the name of this classmate in his mind, Old Liu still couldn't do it, and had to awkwardly say, "This classmate, please answer the first question."

  Under everyone's gaze, Bai Xueya slowly picked up her book and stared tightly at the textbook. After a long time, she weakly shook her head.

  "Teacher, I don't know how to do it..."

  After finishing speaking, Bai Xueya suddenly hung her head in despair, because she already knew that not doing the exercises would result in - enduring Old Zhang's careful and meticulous teaching.

  However, Old Zhang unexpectedly did not blow up, but instead smiled benevolently and waved his hand.

  "It doesn't matter, sit down."

  Bai Xue surprisingly escaped this disaster.

  Lori behind him also sensed the change in Old Zhang, and couldn't help but walk up to him with a puzzled expression, saying in a low voice: "What's going on? In the past, wouldn't he scold you harshly for not doing your homework? Why did he let you off so easily today?"

  You should know that Bai Xueya is the number one in class who dares to confront Old Zhang head-on, and as for Old Zhang's opinion of her, it's enormous.

  But today he actually just said lightly "it's okay"...... how strange!

  Bai Xiaoya also found it strange. In the past, whenever she had offended Old Zhang, no matter how slight the mistake, he would always seize upon it and offer a stern lecture. Today, however, he was unexpectedly magnanimous in letting her off the hook - it was as if the sun had risen in the west.

  But then she thought again, and Bai Xueya felt relieved. Even her classmates couldn't recognize her, let alone Old Zhang's highly myopic eyes?! It's likely that he took himself for a new transfer student.

  The first self-study class in the afternoon.

  The classroom was quiet, with only the sound of writing and turning pages filling the air.

  A gentle breeze in September blows into the classroom, blowing up the white curtains and rustling the pages of a stack of books.

  At the back of the classroom, Bai Xueya struggled for over ten minutes before finally getting into a good state of learning, burying her head in her workbook and writing furiously.

  After a while, the sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor, and in the blink of an eye, a figure flashed into the classroom.

  "Classmates!" Although he couldn't bear to disturb his classmates' quiet self-study, Old Liu still clapped his hands loudly and cleared his throat to announce, "Just now, a classmate transferred to our class, let me introduce him to everyone!"

  As he spoke, he beckoned towards the doorway.

  "Come in, classmate."

  The sound of footsteps echoed, and then a tall figure walked in.

  The girl wore a black T-shirt, her jeans clinging to her body, outlining her slender waist. Her straight black hair was tied back in a ponytail, swaying behind her head as she moved. Under her willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows, a pair of bright phoenix eyes shone with spirit, and between glances, a hint of sharpness flashed out.

  Unlike ordinary students, she has a mature charm on her body. The black clothes and school bag make her look cold and elegant.

  Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at the transfer student in unison, and some people couldn't help but gasp in shock.

  "What a beautiful and elegant girl!"

  Her gaze swept indifferently over the students below, a hint of disdain flashing across her face. Her eyes scanned the classroom like sharp swords, and finally, when she saw Bai Xiaya in the back row, a mocking smile floated up at the corner of her mouth.

  Far away, Bai Xueya raised her head, and when she saw the face of the transfer student clearly, her entire body seemed to be struck by lightning and froze!

  It's her...

  She bit her lip silently, and a sense of foreboding arose in her heart.

  "Hello everyone."

  After a long time, she withdrew her gaze without leaving any trace, and the girl on the podium curved up the corners of her lips, giving a faint smile to the people below.

  "My name is Sun Yuyang, please advise me."
