Chapter 12: This New Student Is So Fierce!

Class 19 was on the fifth floor. As Ye Luo followed Jiang Dabao inside, she saw that the classroom was nearly empty, with many vacant seats. Only three boys in school uniforms were sitting there.

With just a glance, Ye Luo recognized the tall, slender boy sitting by the window in the second-to-last row, sipping soy milk. That was her ancestor—Ye Wuqi.

Her ancestor was strikingly handsome, with short, tousled hair. The zipper of his uniform jacket was left open, and he lounged casually against the wall, one long leg stretched out into the aisle. Judging from his build, he was about six feet tall.

He must have noticed someone enter, for he turned to look her way. Their eyes met, and he immediately gave her a huge, goofy grin.

Ye Luo was speechless.

Her ancestor seemed a little silly.

Jiang Dabao didn’t bother going up to the podium. As soon as he entered, he exclaimed happily to the boys, “After more than a year, our class finally has another flower. Everyone, let’s welcome her!”

With that, Jiang Dabao began clapping enthusiastically by himself.

He looked like a fool.

Ye Luo was silent.

Ye Wuqi and the other boys made no move to join in, but Jiang Dabao wasn’t the least bit embarrassed. He smiled even wider and said, “She’s transferred here from Ninth High. Her name is He Luo—He, as in congratulation, and Luo, as in landing. Get to know each other. You’ll be classmates from now on, so treat each other well!”

Just as he finished speaking, the blond-haired boy sitting in front of Ye Wuqi pointed at Ye Luo and shouted excitedly, “I know you! You’re that girl from Ninth High who always scores zeros—the Egg Queen, right? Aren’t you? Egg Queen, why did you—”

He didn’t get to finish. Ye Luo shot him a cold, icy look, startling him so much he turned and begged for help, “Brother Qi, protect me! This new girl is scary!”

Ye Wuqi smacked him on the head and laughed, “Pathetic!”

The blond boy, far from angry, just grinned.

“It’s almost time for class,” Jiang Dabao said, glancing at his watch. “Any desk without books on it is unoccupied. Sit wherever you like.”

Without hesitation, Ye Luo walked over and sat at the empty desk behind Ye Wuqi.

Jiang Dabao froze.

The blond-haired boy and the other boy both stared in surprise.

Only Ye Wuqi kept drinking his soy milk, still grinning.

In fact, he even turned around to joke with her. “Egg Queen, huh? Welcome to our class. My name’s Ye Wuqi—Ye as in leaf, Wuqi as in ordinary.”

Her ancestor called her Egg Queen, too...

Ye Luo paused as she opened her backpack. She felt it was high time to get rid of that nickname.

“Brother Qi, look after her,” Jiang Dabao said, and then hurried out as if something monstrous was chasing him.

Brother Qi?

Ye Luo narrowed her cold eyes slightly.

What kind of homeroom teacher called a student “Brother”?

Ye Wuqi tossed his empty soy milk cup into the trash, then cupped his face in his hands and grinned at her. “That’s my nickname—Brother Qi. You can call me that, too.”

He really was silly.

Was this really her illustrious ancestor?

Ye Luo felt a pang of disappointment before responding coolly, “I’ll just call you by your name.”

“Whatever you like,” Ye Wuqi replied cheerfully, unconcerned.

Meanwhile, the blond-haired boy, sucking on a lollipop, dragged his chair over.

He started complaining, “Egg Queen, you’re really cold, you know? I’ve never met a girl like you. Especially that look you just gave me—man, it was scary. Are you sure you were looking at a person just now?”

Before Ye Luo could reply, Ye Wuqi burst out laughing. “She wasn’t looking at a person? Then what were you, if not a person?”
