The Intrusive Transfer Student

Arriving at school, Ye Hao headed straight to the office as usual to pick up his daily stack of test papers.

Walking down the quiet corridor, he soon reached his destination.

Knock knock knock!

“Come in. Class is about to start.”

Ye Hao: “…Goodbye.”

Watching Ye Hao enter and then exit just as quickly, homeroom teacher Jiang Yue couldn’t hold back anymore.

What kind of attitude was this!?

Was he begging her, or was she begging him!?

Could he at least act a little more decent!?

“Ye Hao! Get your a*s back in here!”

“Something up?”

Ye Hao, already turning to shut the door and leave, poked his head back in when he heard his homeroom teacher calling him.

Something up?

What was it?

Class was starting—hurry it up.

Looking at the inexplicably punchable Ye Hao, she reminded herself nonstop that she was an honorable people’s teacher.

“The papers are over there. Grab ’em and get lost.”

“Oh.”

Following the direction Jiang Yue pointed, Ye Hao glanced over and sure enough…

Another massive stack of test papers awaited him.

He knew he could absolutely get into a top university, but…

If he didn’t knock these out early…

He’d just want to sleep during class.

It wasn’t that Ye Hao didn’t want to listen—it was that he’d mastered all the material.

Listening felt pointless.

The real issue was the sleepiness.

Watching Ye Hao snatch the papers without a word and just leave, Jiang Yue felt an inexplicable surge of anger.

It infuriated her!

Why was this kid so punchable!?

Did he really know nothing about basic human decency!?

A simple “thanks”—was that so hard!?

Clutching the papers, Ye Hao hurried toward the classroom.

He had no idea how Luo Yao nailed the timing so perfectly.

He arrived at school with exactly fifteen minutes to spare.

Chilling when you thought about it.

All he could say was: impressive.

At his seat, Ye Hao shoved the entire stack into his drawer.

Then he looked at the girl sitting beside him and scratched his chin.

Who was this again?

Where was his usual desk mate?

Had she blacklisted him after he rejected her confession yesterday!?

Makes sense.

A beautiful girl with curves and looks, humbling herself to confess to a trash like him, only to get shot down.

Blacklist was inevitable.

Plus, which girl didn’t have a backup list!?

Ye Hao figured his only plus was his decent face.

Everything else was a minus.

He shook his head.

Better to focus on studies first—practical as hell.

Romance!?

For others, maybe.

But for him, Ye Hao, pure delusion.

Romance—could it feed you!?

Or wire you cash!?

Did romance pay for meals!?

Or did he, Ye Hao, suddenly get rich!?

Had he floated away!?

Or was money flying into his pocket!?

Right now, his account had just over a million.

Once gone, it was gone.

Living off the interest each year—decent enough.

After uni, with skills in hand, use that cash to start a business.

Way better!

So it circled back: studies!

Studies were the only way out, bro!

No books, no bread on the table later, bro!

Seeming to notice Ye Hao’s gaze, the girl turned her head.

“Good morning, Ye Hao.”

“Pfft!”

Liu Qianxia!?

“What’s… wrong?”

Seeing Ye Hao’s expression, Liu Qianxia touched her face in confusion.

Was there something on it!?

“No, it’s just… you look different from usual today…”

It was like a whole new person!

“Really? I switched up my style today. Feels pretty good, right~”

“Heh, heh heh heh…”

Ye Hao laughed awkwardly.

Good!?

This was beyond good—it was a total transformation.

Just as Liu Qianxia opened her mouth to say more, the class bell rang.

“Class time.”

Hearing the bell, Ye Hao smoothly pulled out a test paper and dove into his daily grind.

As the saying went: when awkward sh*t hits, act like it’s normal.

Then the awkward one becomes the other guy.

Like right now.

Liu Qianxia sat there, face full of awkwardness.

She’d had more to say, but the bell, and now Ye Hao buried in papers.

Super awkward.

With the bell ringing, Jiang Yue soon entered the classroom, textbook in arm, dressed in her teacher uniform.

“Before class, two announcements.

With only two months left in the final sprint, our task this month is review. Review, and more review.

Besides that, one more thing.”

Setting the textbook on the podium, Jiang Yue scanned the room.

As all the students lifted their heads, one guy always had to ruin it—Ye Hao.

Fully in the zone now, Ye Hao couldn’t care less.

He was like a man in the middle of life’s big deed.

Getting interrupted mid-act!?

No one stops!

Men persist!

Men go all the way!

You call your thing; I do mine.

Why sweat the stares!?

Aim for worldly detachment.

Looking at the dead-serious Ye Hao, Jiang Yue couldn’t really call him out.

Fine, fine—do your thing.

She sighed helplessly.

“Come in.”

“Good morning, everyone. I’m Li Mengying from Class B.

Here to focus on studies till the end.

For the next two months, I’ll be in your care~”

Gotta say, Li Mengying’s deceptive fake smile hooked a bunch of guys right away.

They clapped like crazy.

Bad move.

The clapping yanked Ye Hao straight out of the knowledge goddess’s embrace mid-problem.

What the f*ck!?

Wasn’t this class time!?

Fuming, Ye Hao glanced around at the stares.

Then he lifted his head to see what massive drama warranted this fuss.

As Ye Hao’s gaze hit the room, Li Mengying—quietly watching him from the podium—locked onto his puzzled look.

One second.

Two seconds…

Ye Hao froze.

Li Mengying!?

What the hell was she doing here!?

What the f*ck!

What kind of ghost sh*t was this!?

“Actually, besides pure studying, I have another reason for transferring here~”

With that, Li Mengying’s eyes slid to Ye Hao, who sat there with a head full of question marks.

“It’s him!”

The air went dead silent.

Just like that.

Everyone snapped to it and nailed their stares on Ye Hao.

It gave him full-body chills.

What the actual f*ck was this!?

What madness was she on!?

He hadn’t done sh*t to her, right!?

“Because Ye Hao here is the top of our grade. And he’s racked up tons of awards. So, for the next two months, I hope Ye Hao can tutor me a bit. Ye Hao won’t say no to little ol’ me, right?”

What!?

Tutor you!?

Delusional much!?

How drunk are you!?

Not even a peanut to sober you up!?

In this situation, Ye Hao would of course refuse flat-out!

“I…”

He geared up for a swift no.

But seeing the guys around him eyeing him like they’d rip him apart if he did, his tone deflated instantly.

Sorry—he really couldn’t stand tall here!

“I’ll… try…”

“Thanks~ If that’s the case, could this classmate switch seats with me? My spot’s up front~”

Watching Li Mengying close in, Liu Qianxia—who had zero defense against this—panicked hard.

“Would that be okay, Liu Qianxia~?”

Under Li Mengying’s oppressive gaze, she’d become the unintended spotlight.

The focus of every eye in class—except Ye Hao’s.

“I…”

“Liu Qianxia, just switch with Mengying.”

“Yeah, she’s asking so nicely.”

“Yeah, yeah…”

One classmate spoke up, and the rest started hooting.

Liu Qianxia, already a mess, felt like a lone survivor on the battlefield now.

Utterly abandoned.

“I… fine…”

Biting her lip, the now utterly lowly Liu Qianxia stood from her seat.

“Mm, thanks. You’re such a good person~ I’ll help you move your stuff~”

“Uh, th-thanks…”

“No need to thank—we’re classmates~”

After hauling Liu Qianxia’s things over, as she passed by, Li Mengying flashed a mocking smirk.

“Loser~”

The whisper was tiny.

But aimed right at Liu Qianxia, so no one else caught it.

Hearing it, the clueless Liu Qianxia’s eyes flew wide in disbelief.

She stared at Li Mengying’s sneering face.

Of course, only she could see it.

“Bye-bye~”

Waving a cheeky goodbye at Liu Qianxia, Li Mengying plopped down openly beside Ye Hao.

Replacing Liu Qianxia as his new desk mate.

Crisis averted.

Looked like handling her own business was the only way to solve it for good.

From that quick brush with Liu Qianxia, she knew the girl couldn’t even protect the guy she liked.

Overestimated her as a rival before.

Didn’t even qualify to lick her shoes.

Thanks to the seating, Li Mengying’s hand now rested on Ye Hao’s thigh.

Watching him try to shift her hand away but freeze, that little uke face…

From a super discreet angle, Li Mengying licked her lips seductively at the flustered Ye Hao.

Seeing Li Mengying’s weird move, Ye Hao’s goosebumps hit the floor.

What was wrong with this chick!?

Eaten bad meds!?

Or cooking up some shady plot…
