Meng Wanyu walked down from the podium at an unhurried pace and headed toward Lu Chengzhou.

The male lead had been driven off by the female lead, so there was now an empty seat here.

Even the homeroom teacher didn’t dare offend her. After all, she was a rich, fair-skinned young miss from Jingzhou.

Lin Chen’s family was wealthy, sure, but right now, they still couldn’t compare to the Meng family of Jingzhou.

A dump like Yi City had no way of measuring up to a luxurious metropolis like Jingzhou.

The richest man here, if he went there, would only be fit to carry the shoes of their richest man.

Cruel as that truth was, it was still the truth.

“Hello.”

The moment he heard that familiar voice, Lu Chengzhou frowned again.

Wasn’t that the voice of that ugly girl from yesterday?

No, wait. The gap in looks between these two was way too huge.

Maybe they just happened to sound alike.

Meng Wanyu sat down in the male lead’s seat, propped up her chin, and looked at him with a smiling gaze.

“You’re really handsome. You look like a very caring person.”

“Uh.”

What kind of bizarre compliment was that?

Lu Chengzhou shot her a wary look.

His instincts told him that getting involved with a girl like this would also get him killed horribly.

He didn’t want to die. He wanted to be an ordinary supporting male character and lie low till the very end.

“I’m just wondering, handsome, do you have a girlfriend?”

As she spoke, Meng Wanyu leaned closer and moved much nearer to him.

Lu Chengzhou caught the scent of her expensive perfume. He also vaguely glimpsed a sliver of pale skin at her chest.

With temptation like this, forget an ordinary supporting male character like him struggling to keep it together. Even the male lead Lin Chen would probably have to think twice. No, think very carefully.

“Uh, miss, please respect yourself.”

Lu Chengzhou felt like it was time to run.

Unfortunately, Meng Wanyu had blocked his escape route.

If he wanted to leave, he’d have to step over Meng Wanyu’s legs, and there was no way he could do that.

Meng Wanyu reached out, took hold of his wrist, and lightly stroked the back of his hand and his palm.

Way too intimate.

It was downright deadly.

Sadly, Lu Chengzhou didn’t dare enjoy such direct affection at all. He was terrified it would bring disaster down on him.

With difficulty, Lu Chengzhou turned his face away and refused to look at her.

He had no idea how this mysterious girl had suddenly dropped out of the sky!

Could this be another reward for changing his own fate?

Right after that, the system directly gave him a prompt about Meng Wanyu’s identity and background!

The moment he saw the system’s prompt, Lu Chengzhou understood.

This wasn’t a reward. It was a trap, a naked trap!

People always said lust was a blade hanging over your head. Looking at it now, that was absolutely true.

If a top-tier rich beauty like this threw herself at a plain supporting male character like him, would a prideful guy like the male lead be able to take it?

“Hey, that’s my seat.”

Just as the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, the male lead, Lin Chen, came back.

The moment he returned, he saw his seat had been taken.

He’d already been holding back his anger. Now he was even madder.

“Woman, move.”

“I’m not leaving. I’ve taken a liking to this seat,” Meng Wanyu said lazily.

“You?!”

Lin Chen was in disbelief. Someone actually dared challenge the dignity of a rich second-generation heir like him?

“If you’re not happy, go tell the homeroom teacher.”

Meng Wanyu still sounded lazy.

When facing Lu Chengzhou, she could be elegant and gentle. But when facing a man she had no good feelings toward, all she had left was disdain.

Lin Chen was furious enough to explode.

Still, the male lead had one fine tradition: he didn’t hit women.

That had been emphasized many times in the original story.

But the implication behind that was that, aside from women, he’d hit just about anything.

At that moment, he slammed a fist onto the desk with a dull crack.

The desk shook and nearly split apart.

Meng Wanyu wasn’t scared in the slightest. She only looked at him with a faint smile.

Then she casually pulled out a stack of cash from her bag and slapped it onto the desk.

“Take it and spend it however you want. I’m reserving this seat.”

Lin Chen’s face turned dark.

As the male lead, and one with a domineering CEO persona at that, when had he ever suffered this kind of humiliation?

His fists clenched so hard they creaked.

Even Lu Chengzhou felt like he was about to break character, and he couldn’t help worrying a little for Meng Wanyu.

At this point, the homeroom teacher finally couldn’t sit still anymore and hurried over to smooth things out.

“Alright, alright. You’re all classmates. Don’t make things so tense.”

As she spoke, she quietly told Lin Chen about Meng Wanyu’s identity.

After hearing it, Lin Chen’s eyes filled with shock.

The little princess of Jingzhou—how had she ended up here?

He had no choice but to give up the seat.

Of course, what ultimately persuaded him to move was still Su Qiaoman’s gentle comfort.

“Brother Chen, don’t be mad at Sister Meng. It’s just a seat. Don’t make everyone unhappy over this.”

“Hmph. I’m only doing this for your sake.” Lin Chen was still talking tough. “I’ll be back.”

Su Qiaoman watched with satisfaction as he moved away.

Then her gaze fell on Meng Wanyu.

As a woman herself, how could Su Qiaoman not be jealous of Meng Wanyu’s beauty?

But jealousy was useless!

The other girl was simply prettier than her, more refined than her, and richer than her too.

This was the little princess of the Meng family, someone even Lin Chen feared to some extent.

“Hello, Sister Meng. Please take care of me.”

Su Qiaoman’s thinking was simple. She wanted to build a good relationship with this little princess.

With her gentleness and personal charm, she should be able to win her over easily.

Sadly, she had miscalculated.

“Hey, don’t call me sister so casually.” Meng Wanyu didn’t appreciate it at all. “If I remember right, your school records say you’re a year older than me.”

This time, it was Su Qiaoman’s face that darkened.

What did women hate most? Being told they were older.

In Su Qiaoman’s eyes, even one year older was still older!

“Th-then I can’t exactly call you Little Sister Meng either. I should still call you sister. It sounds more affectionate that way.”

Su Qiaoman put on a cute act and used a soft, sweet tone to coax Miss Meng. She still wanted that “younger sister” title.

But that affected, delicate posture was exactly what a queenly girl like Miss Meng disliked.

Meng Wanyu gave her a contemptuous glance, along with a deeply mocking look.

“I don’t like people claiming kinship with me at random. Please call me Meng Wanyu, thank you.”

Pfft.

Lu Chengzhou let out a laugh without holding back.

Both girls turned their heads and looked at him.

Lu Chengzhou quickly wiped the smile off his face.

He lowered his head and silently worked on the problems.

The math test paper in his hands looked as easy as kindergarten addition and subtraction.

The mastery skill the system had given him was seriously useful.

Su Qiaoman’s face went red, then white.

All she could do was lower her head awkwardly and write her homework.

But inside, she was full of jealousy and hatred toward Meng Wanyu, and dissatisfaction toward Lu Chengzhou.

Before, he would always speak up for her unconditionally. But today, he’d actually joined an outsider to bully her and laugh at her!

Damn him.

Thinking of that, Su Qiaoman pressed harder with her pen.

She even tore the paper.

For once, Lin Chen wasn’t looking at her. He was looking at Meng Wanyu instead.

This little girl was the youngest daughter of the Meng family in Jingzhou, someone his father had to lower himself and beg just to meet.

Why would a little princess like that come to this crappy school?

Wouldn’t it be better for her to stay obediently in Jingzhou and be her little princess there?

And on top of that, how had a little princess like this suddenly started chatting with a poor nobody like Lu Chengzhou?

She even seemed to have a very good impression of him!

Lin Chen could rack his brain raw and still not figure it out.

“You should all be about done with your test papers, right?” The teacher tapped the blackboard.

She wrote several big math problems on it.

“Next, let’s have two people come up and solve them.”

She looked around, then picked Lu Chengzhou and the furious-looking Lin Chen.

“You two. Come up.”
