When Chu Ning arrived at the lounge behind the multimedia classroom, she promptly attracted everyone’s attention.
These students would all be performing at the Dragon Boat Festival Gala and had nervously been rehearsing. As Chu Ning, the “stranger”, arrived, the expressions on the students’ faces were remarkable.
Yan Shen saw Chu Ning as well. When he saw her enter the lounge, he stood up.
He didn’t know why he did that, but his intuition told him that this should be Chu Ning, his partner for the night.
“Chu Ning?” Yan Shen asked tentatively.
“You all don’t recognize me?” Chu Ning didn’t answer Yan Shen explicitly, but this sentence also informed the students that she was Chu Ning!
With a roar, the originally quiet lounge instantly came alive. Following that, a student walked up to Chu Ning without delay and said, “Student Chu Ning, can we take a photo together?”
“Of course.” Chu Ning smiled and nodded.
When she had appeared at Jingyuan High School in this manner, it was destined to cause a certain amount of commotion.
Some of the students who had taken a photo with Chu Ning immediately shared the photo with their friends and acquaintances on WeChat, while others posted it directly on the school forum.
The captions read, “Guess who this is?”
“Today, I’m taking a photo with Jingyuan High’s true school belle!”
“You guys would never have thought that she’s a person who has both wisdom and beauty!”

…
In just over ten minutes, Chu Ning had once again become the focus of Jingyuan High in another way.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the lounge, Ye Ting’s face was deathly pale.
In fact, from the moment Chu Ning entered, Ye Ting’s eyes had been fixed on her.
There was no other reason. Before Chu Ning had come, she had been the focus of attention.
Especially when Chu Ning had personally told her the previous day that Chu Ning’s parents would vote for her, she had felt relieved.
Ye Ting did not think that Chu Ning had the ability to compete with her.
What was good about studying? It was not like others would watch you go on stage to do exam papers during the Dragon Boat Festival Gala. Beauty was justice, and being beautiful naturally made people take a second look at you. Whether it was the students or the judges, they would tacitly agree to this rule.
Originally, Ye Ting had already decided that she was the spokesperson responsible for the school’s image. But now, after seeing Chu Ning appear in this way, she had lost her confidence.
In fact, she was striking today as well, like a princess glamorously done up.
But Chu Ning was like an majestic and charming queen with a powerful aura. Her beauty was elegant and graceful, but it also made all the women around her pale in comparison. It was as if she was the only one, the moon that was held up by the stars.
Just as Ye Ting’s thoughts were running through her head, her gaze inadvertently caught sight of her partner’s blank expression.
“Bai Xiu, you’ve gone too far. I hate you…”
As Ye Ting spoke, she felt extremely aggrieved. Tears continuously flowed from the corners of her eyes. She pushed Bai Xiu aside and ran from the lounge, crying.
“Hey, hey! Ye Ting, Ye Ting, come back!”
Bai Xiu had only been focused on Chu Ning, and had ignored Ye Ting who was by his side. By the time he reacted, Ye Ting had already run out of the room. He could only shout as he chased after her.
Chu Ning looked at Ye Ting’s crying face as she passed her, feeling a little baffled.
“I didn’t provoke you. You wouldn’t go that far, would you?” Chu Ning thought helplessly.
“You really surprised me a little.” Yan Shen’s expression was rather calm. As Chu Ning’s partner, he also looked dashing that night.
The well-tailored black suit accentuated his well-proportioned and perfect figure. The white shirt underneath was spotless. On the chest of the suit, there was an exquisite red rose.
When he stood with Chu Ning, he was the perfect partner.
His height of 1.86 meters made him look slightly taller than Chu Ning, but they were strangely coordinated. He and Chu Ning did not compete for the limelight, but were in a wonderful state of complementing each other.
“They’re really… a match made in heaven.” Someone could not help but sigh softly.
“I’ve always been like this. It can’t be that I just put on some makeup and became someone else, right?”
Chu Ning knew that she should be dignified at this time and should not say too much, but she could not help but smile and explain. She did not care about the so-called aristocratic etiquette. As long as she was happy, she did not care for it!
“What I mean is that you are very beautiful.” It was a little unexpected that Yan Shen had actually paid a compliment.
Chu Ning could not hold back a smile, constantly exuding her own charm.
The light in the lounge was not bright, but she was like the full moon high in the night sky, shining brightly.
