Chapter 298: Chapter 298
Her gaze involuntarily turned blank.
She had been sitting at the same table as Liu Runxi for almost three months, yet the times she spoke with him, on reflection, didn’t exceed ten fingers, and each time was about business.
If not for that handsome face and the privileged family background, he might have had less presence than an invisible person.
He really is a very uninteresting person.
However, at this moment, Yan Lu discovered that this usually silent teenager seemed to harbor a sea of flames within him, like a volcano.
Only those who enter his heart will see how beautiful that sea of flames is.
Yan Lu suddenly realized that perhaps only Shen You’an was someone who resonated with Liu Runxi.
So did Shen You’an see it?
While Yan Lu was lost in thought, Shen You’an wrote down the final answer in the bottom right corner of the blackboard.
As Shen You’an turned around, Liu Runxi also finished writing the last symbol and put down his pen.
The fingers on his right hand started to tremble slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Yan Lu looked up and then looked down again.
The answers of both of them were exactly the same.
Leng Yunyang leaned back against his chair with a roguish smile. Chapters first released on novel⟡fire.net
On the scratch paper in front of him, he stopped calculating halfway through.
He looked up, his gaze unapologetically landing on Shen You’an, a slight smirk on his thin lips.
It’s not that his own skills were lacking, it’s just that the opponent was too strong.
Gu Bichen raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead; the classroom’s heating was on, yet he couldn’t shake the chill from his body.
It was then that he realized there indeed was a gap between himself and Shen You’an.
This tiny gap is what separates a genius from an ordinary person.
Gu Bichen knitted his sharp eyebrows together, sinking into contemplation.
The school beauty contest on the forum was in full swing.
Shen You’an’s performance in the math class had gained her another wave of votes, pushing her numbers up slightly, tightly clenching her second place rank with Qin Xiangge.
Qin Xiangge sensed that her school beauty throne was slipping away, and her face looked terrible the entire day.
Luuo Yunqi being a film star was acceptable, as the movie she starred in was set to release this winter break, but losing to Shen You’an just didn’t make sense to her.
In middle school, Shen You’an had no presence at all. Why did she suddenly steal the limelight in high school?
Qin Xiangge couldn’t fathom this logic and poked at the rice on her tray with a frustrated look.
At that moment, a commotion broke out around her, and Qin Xiangge instinctively looked up.
She saw Luuo Yunqi walking in, surrounded as if she were a star among the moon and stars.
Qin Xiangge felt a pang in her heart and hurriedly left with her tray.
"Yunqi, you’ll soon be the school beauty," Xiao Ling said with undeniable envy.
Luuo Yunqi smiled and shook her head, "Everyone is really so boring."
"You don’t know, being the school beauty comes with so many perks: hosting the New Year’s Eve gala is an unwritten rule, as well as school celebrations and sports meets. The school beauty is the face of the school, and once one is selected, a professional photography team is sent by the company to take posters, which are then hung on the school’s and the company’s official websites. It’s quite an honor."
Luuo Yunqi’s eyes flashed, "Is there a selection for a school handsome contest?"
Xiao Ling laughed, "It’s already been selected, don’t you know?"
Luuo Yunqi said in astonishment, "Who is it? How come I didn’t know?"
Xiao Ling pointed his mouth in a direction, "Young Master Leng, who could compete against him? There’s no need to even have the contest."
Xiao Ling got excited thinking of something, "You’ll have to shoot the poster with Young Master Leng then."
Luuo Yunqi glanced indifferently in one direction.
The neatly worn school uniform always appeared somewhat unruly on the teenager, and his charming peach blossom eyes resembled peach groves in April, romantic and passionate.
Every gesture exuded a lazy nobility, like a well-fed Persian cat basking in the sun.
He stood out too much among the crowd.
In this group of still somewhat immature teenagers, the way Leng Yunyang carelessly exuded his charm was too unique and captivating, a type that especially attracted young girls.
Unfortunately, Luuo Yunqi wasn’t interested.
She even felt a bit of disgust.
Such men might be handsome but were too restless. Being with him would mean being ready to wear a green hat any moment.
Luuo Yunqi averted her gaze calmly.
"I have no interest in being the school beauty. I’ve fallen behind in my studies and must catch up quickly."
Recalling something, Luuo Yunqi smiled, "Isn’t Shen You’an also nominated? What if she ends up being chosen as the school beauty?"
Xiao Ling immediately said, "Impossible, how could Shen You’an compete with you?"
Luuo Yunqi raised her eyebrows, lowered her eyes nonchalantly, a cold mockery flashed beneath her eyes.
Indeed, how could Shen You’an compare with her?
Leng Xuexi coldly said, "Can you put down your phone while eating?"
Leng Yunyang smiled, "Don’t mess around, your brother is handling serious business."
Leng Xuexi laughed angrily.
"What mischief are you up to now?"
The teenager said lazily, "Your brother here has a cleanliness habit, doesn’t like taking pictures with unpleasant people, lest they stick to me like flies."
Leng Xuexi rolled her eyes, never having seen such a narcissistic man before.
