Chapter 24 - I Have High Standards 

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The principal had personally arranged for Lu Zhanyu to become a transient student in their school. Thus, Mr. Geng obviously had to take special care of him. As such, he arranged for him to sit beside Xia Tianzhen, the deputy class president, thinking that she could help him with his studies. 

The girl who was seated at the same table as Xia Tianzhen shot her a look of envy before standing up reluctantly to pack her things and wait for the teacher to assign another seat for her. 

Xia Tianzhen lowered her head and tucked her hair behind her ear smilingly while the girls in class stared at her with envy and jealousy. 

'I'm favored by Heaven and all good things should belong to me. Even the new handsome student belongs to me too, so Di Xingchen will definitely be mine as well!'

Xia Wei'an walked straight back to her seat after seeing that there was nothing for her to do. 

On the other hand, Lu Zhanyu, who had been standing still at the classroom door, scratched the back of his head and laugh. "Wait, Mr. Geng, who is Xia Wei'an?"

As soon as he said that, everyone in the classroom instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at him as if he was an alien. 

'Seriously? Even the hunk is here for Xia Wei'an?'

Xia Wei'an was extremely curious because they didn't have any ties with each other in the previous life! 

"Lu Zhanyu, Xia Wei'an just came in with you. You don't know each other?"

Mr. Geng answered his question in a friendly manner and turned around to look at Xia Wei'an who was in the last row of the classroom. Upon making eye contact, he chuckled and said, "Mr. Geng, I won't trouble others to give their seat to me. There's another spot there, I'll take that spot." 

Pointing to the seat beside Xia Wei'an, he walked over. Before Mr. Geng could speak, he sat down. Seeing that he had already taken his seat, Mr. Geng decided to leave him be. 

Seeing the change, Xia Tianzhen's smile stiffened, and she quietly cocked her head to the side to hide her expression while clenching her fists tightly under the table. She was clenching it so hard that the sounds of her knuckles being cracked could be heard.  She then turned her head again indignantly to see that Xia Wei'an was chatting with Lu Zhanyu. she immediately got so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. 

'Xia Wei'an, let's wait and see!'

"Who sent you here to be a spy? What's your agenda?"

Xia Wei'an began to interrogate Lu Zhanyu as soon as he sat down. It was obvious that he was there for her sake. 

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." After asking that question, he immediately turned around to size Xia Wei'an up from head to toe with a look of disgust. "Do you think you're a beauty? What designs can I possibly harbor on you? However, I heard some things about you prior to this, and I quite like your temper, so I want to sit beside you. That's all. Don't read too much into things, I have high standards." 

"Is that so? Me too. You're too ugly to sit beside me!"

Xia Wei'an smiled warmly, but Lu Zhanyu found it bizarre, and he was wondering if she had some scheme up her sleeve. She then raised her leg and kicked his chair, causing it to tumble over while he fell out of it with a loud bang! 

"Lu Zhanyu, what's wrong?"

Lu Zhan Yu raised his head and saw that everyone, including Mr. Geng who was on the podium, was staring at him with concern. He then looked at the culprit, only to see her holding a book in her hand and reading it solemnly, as if she wasn't the one who kicked him. 

Lu Zhanyu had no choice but to smile awkwardly and get up from the ground. He apologized, "I'm so sorry to have affected you guys. I just lost my balance just now."
