Chapter 24: Beautiful Deskmate

In the fearful and pitiful gaze of Cheng Hao, the class teacher, Zhang Hong, entered the classroom with a face full of joy.

She didn't notice Cheng Hao's distress but greeted the class with a smile, saying, "Students, we have a new classmate. Let's applaud and welcome her."

Then she turned to the door and said warmly, "Come on, Hu Gua Gua, introduce yourself to everyone."

Amidst the applause and curious looks, a girl with a backpack walked in.

As soon as everyone saw her face, the classroom erupted into excitement and commotion, completely forgetting the class teacher was still standing at the podium.

"Hu Gua Gua! It's her!"

"Wow! My goddess, she transferred to our class. Am I dreaming?"

"So beautiful, such fair skin. She's the girl who caused a sensation in the school as soon as she arrived."

At this moment, whether male or female, everyone looked at the new girl with amazement, their faces filled with excitement.

Even Cheng Hao, in the front row, forgot the pain on his face, staring greedily at the pretty girl in front of him, saliva almost dripping down.

Hu Gua Gua was dressed in a simple cartoon T-shirt and denim shorts, a casual style that was shockingly beautiful. Her seemingly innate and ethereal charm was as pure as a snow lotus, making hearts tremble.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Hu Gua Gua. Please take care of me in the future."

Hu Gua Gua stood on the podium, her slender figure graceful and delicate, a sweet smile on her exquisitely beautiful face, making everyone feel as if they were in a warm breeze.

The classmates enthusiastically applauded, some male students clapping particularly hard, as if trying to break their palms, their faces filled with infatuation.

Yuan Xiaofen quietly turned to glance at Yan Yuchen, who was reading a book with his head lowered. He seemed not to care about the arrival of the charming school flower. She couldn't help but smile, thinking to herself: Only he seems normal.

"Teacher, hasn't Hu Gua Gua been assigned a seat yet? I heard she just transferred to our class and scored first in the whole class. With such good grades, she should sit at the front."

As the applause died down, Cheng Hao, the class monitor, immediately spoke with enthusiasm. He also gave a meaningful glance to the chubby girl sitting next to him, as if telling her to leave and quickly make room for the beautiful school flower.

The chubby girl scornfully glared at him and whispered, "The mighty class monitor, actually forced by the weakest kid in our class to eat his own shit and cried for his parents. How embarrassing."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao was infuriated.

"Hey, Cheng Hao, why is your face swollen? And your front tooth is missing...?"

When Zhang Hong's gaze turned to him, she immediately noticed something was wrong. How did this kid turn into such a miserable state in just a short time?

Upon hearing her question, Cheng Hao was startled and hastily said, "I fell... I accidentally fell just now."

Feeling so wronged, he couldn't even complain to the teacher after being beaten. He felt that he, as the class monitor, was truly pathetic. That damn sickly guy, did he take some medicine or something? How did his strength become so terrifying?

"Teacher, I think the class monitor might not have fallen; he was probably beaten by someone, right?"

After hearing Cheng Hao's response, Hu Gua Gua suddenly spoke up.

As soon as this statement came out, Cheng Hao's face changed instantly.

Yan Yuchen, sitting at the back, raised his head and glanced at the girl. His eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Why did this girl named Hu Gua Gua always want to cause trouble for him? He hadn't provoked her or offended her. Yesterday, she even kicked him and punched him, and she wasn't satisfied?

"Hehe, of course not. I'm the class monitor; who would dare to hit me? Teacher, I really fell, truly fell..."

Images of Yan Yuchen's fierce expression flashed in Cheng Hao's mind. Trembling, he hurriedly explained in a shaky voice.

Hu Gua Gua persisted, pointing at his face with doubt, "But there are clear slap marks on your face. Clearly, someone hit you. Hmph, that person must be a bad guy, beating you and threatening you not to tell the teacher. This can't be allowed, class monitor, speak up, don't be afraid. Let the teacher help you properly deal with that bad guy!"

As she spoke, Hu Gua Gua glanced at Yan Yuchen in the back row, wearing a smirk on her face.

Zhang Hong carefully examined the slap marks on Cheng Hao's face and angrily slammed the table, saying, "Indeed, it's a slap mark! Cheng Hao, quickly tell me, who hit you? Tell the teacher, I'll help you!"

Cheng Hao had a mournful expression, shivering and hesitating. He didn't dare to speak, but he also didn't dare to stay silent. His inner conflict reached its peak.

Zhang Hong stood at the podium, her gaze stern and sharp, sweeping across the entire class. She said angrily, "Who hit Cheng Hao? Stand up voluntarily, otherwise, when I find out later, you'll be in trouble!"

The whole class collectively lowered their heads, feeling uneasy.

Silence filled the classroom.

Hu Gua Gua, with a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes, looked at Yan Yuchen and said, "Teacher, I think there's someone suspicious. Only a scoundrel like him could do such a despicable thing."

"Who?" Zhang Hong asked with a cold and stern gaze.

Yan Yuchen cursed inwardly but had no choice. He prepared to stand up and admit it.

At that moment, Yuan Xiaofen suddenly stood up and said, "Teacher, I hit him. The class monitor accused me of dating and said nasty things, so I couldn't help but hit him."

This statement shocked the entire class.

Zhang Hong was stunned, finding it hard to believe. "Yuan Xiaofen, you hit him?"

Even the good girl would resort to violence?

Hu Gua Gua, with a sly smile, said, "Teacher, how can she, a weak girl, possibly beat the class monitor? It's obviously a lie."

Then, she disdainfully glanced at Yan Yuchen and said, "Some people are really despicable. They do bad things and make a girl stand up to take the blame. It's truly shameful."

Yuan Xiaofen insisted, "Teacher, I really hit him. If you don't believe me, ask the class monitor."

Cheng Hao shivered, and his inner thoughts turned increasingly vulgar.

Damn, how did I get dragged into this mess again? If I deny it, that damn Yan evil demon will surely hold a grudge and retaliate against me. But if I admit it, I'll be humiliated, losing face as the class monitor beaten by a girl, losing two teeth... This is so damn frustrating!

"Cheng Hao! Who was it that hit you? I want you to tell me personally!"

Zhang Hong's face grew darker, showing impatience. Time was running out for the class, and a significant portion had already been wasted.

Fearful of Yan evil demon's violent tendencies, Cheng Hao reluctantly said, "It was Yuan Xiaofen... She hit me. I saw she was a girl, so I didn't fight back..."

Zhang Hong frowned, glanced at both of them, and with a somewhat annoyed tone, said, "Alright, enough of this. Sit down, both of you. A girl hitting a boy is embarrassing enough. Solve this privately. Don't bother me anymore. Let's start the class."

Then, realizing she hadn't assigned a seat for Hu Gua Gua yet, she was about to speak when Hu Gua Gua, with a smiling face, said, "Teacher, can I choose my own seat? I believe I'll perform better if I sit where I want."

Zhang Hong nodded, "Sure, go ahead. I'll help you adjust it."

Hu Gua Gua glanced at the available seats in the classroom and walked directly to the last row, taking an empty seat to the right of Yan Yuchen. She said with a smile, "Teacher, no need to trouble yourself. There's a vacant seat right here. I'll sit here."

The whole class was dumbfounded.

Zhang Hong, somewhat puzzled, was about to remind her about Yan Yuchen, the infamous ambulance star of the whole school. However, Hu Gua Gua interrupted, "Teacher, don't worry. I love sitting next to people who are unwell. My mom said my beauty can make sick people feel better. I want to see if it's true."

Silence fell over the class.

Yan Yuchen, covering his forehead, expressed that his illness was getting more severe.
