The seed of a secret crush silently sowed

September in the north is a gradually cooling season, with the autumnal atmosphere gradually thickening. During the day, the sunlight filters through the clouds, still warm but no longer scorching as in the summer. Lin Yingshi doesn't seem to look forward to the new semester, new school, and new classmates because her best friend has been assigned to a different class.

Lin Yingshi scanned the classroom and randomly found a seat to sit down. She lowered her head to organize her school bag, but inadvertently looked up, and her gaze was drawn to the board. Lin Yingshi couldn't help but pause her hand movements and stared attentively at the problem on the board. She couldn't help but sigh, "This board is so beautiful, it's just a little better than me." Suddenly, someone shouted, "Qiao Yi, come quickly, let's go get our new textbooks." The boy turned his head suddenly, and a handsome and delicate face suddenly appeared in Lin Yingshi's eyes. His fair skin set off his deep eyes, with confidence and composure in his gaze. At this moment, she felt something in this boy that attracted her and made her heart beat faster. Lin Yingshi was startled by the sudden approach of a girl, looking up at her, and found a slightly shorter girl approaching her, her small body full of confidence and vitality. Lin Yingshi looked at her in confusion, not knowing why this girl would say that.

"That's the top student in our class," the girl repeated impatiently.

Lin Yingshi blinked and only then noticed the chalkboard covered in numbers and formulas, making her scalp tingle with confusion as she had no idea what they meant.

Feeling embarrassed by her ignorance, she forced a smile and hoped to end the awkward conversation as soon as possible. "Ah, I see. Thank you for telling me," she replied, attempting to change the subject. But the girl seemed unwilling to let her off the hook.

"Qiao Yi, he's the top student in our class. Not only does he have excellent grades, he's also handsome. Look at his chalkboard, it's so beautiful," the girl boasted to Lin Yingshi.

Lin Yingshi felt her face heat up for some reason, unsure why she was feeling so nervous. It wasn't her first time seeing a good-looking boy, but Qiao Yi's handsomeness, like his grades, had an unusual pull on people, causing her to want to take a few more glances.

"Um, thank you for telling me. I know now," Lin Yingshi replied uneasily, hoping to change the subject. "By the way, what's your name?"

"I'm Wang Rui, what's yours?" the girl answered cheerfully.

"My name is Lin Ying Shi." Lin Ying Shi smiled lightly and suddenly found herself starting to like this girl a little.

After a while, Qiao Yi and his group brought stacks of new books to the classroom and began distributing them to the students. When Qiao Yi's hand reached Lin Ying Shi, she felt her face suddenly turn red and her eyes unconsciously avoided his gaze. She just lightly took the book and whispered, "Thank you." Qiao Yi looked at Lin Ying Shi's blushing face and was also a little surprised. He noticed Lin Ying Shi's eyes, which although shy, were full of curiosity and enthusiasm.

"Hello, everyone, I am your class teacher, Lu Min." At this point, the students quieted down. Lu, the class teacher, with her tall figure and short hair, looked particularly spirited. She smiled and introduced herself to the students. Her voice was gentle yet powerful, radiating warmth and confidence. When Lu spoke, she occasionally paused, allowing the students to better understand her words.

Lu used charming language to describe her educational philosophy, saying that she would do her utmost to help the students grow, and she hoped that with her help, the students could fully develop their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. She let the students feel her enthusiasm and love for the educational cause. Under Lu's narration, the students began to feel respect and trust towards her.

After Lu's self-introduction, the students also began to introduce themselves to her. Lin Ying Shi also stood up and introduced herself to Lu, stating her name, age, home address, and family background. At the same time, she expressed her expectations and efforts for the new semester. In Lin Ying Shi's introduction, the students could feel her confidence and determination.
