Chapter 339 192: Would It Be Better to Marry Lu?
The siblings arrived at school.
Due to the emergence of a large rift, the area near the playground remained sealed off, turning into a construction site. A large number of engineering teams arrived, with transport vehicles coming and going at the rift's entrance.
Jinghai City is estimated to take decades to fully extract the resources from this rift.
The areas surrounding the rift will all become work sites.
Therefore, First Middle School will also relocate to another district for reconstruction soon.
But for now, teachers and students just have to make do.
Lu Xun and Xie Manyu entered the school, and he first accompanied his sister to find her class teacher, greeted them properly, watched her enter the classroom and take her seat before leaving at ease.
Xie Manyu was originally quite anxious and tense; she stammered during her self-introduction, trying hard to act like a well-behaved good student.
After all, First Middle School's elite students held prejudices and stereotypes against other public schools.
Early romance, skipping classes, rebellion, brawls, smoking, drinking, perming hair... in the eyes of First Middle School students, those from outside schools were considered a bag of troubles.
And the Jinghai Seventh Middle School where Xie Manyu previously studied was even more of an "exemplar," with extremely poor school culture.
Although bad schools can have good students and good schools can have bad students, Seventh Middle School also had many sincere kids who studied hard despite the odds. However, many people liked to categorize with stereotypes indiscriminately.
Even if they didn't taunt you directly, they might secretly talk bad about you behind your back.
Xie Manyu feared her new classmates might look down on her because of this.
However, it turned out she was worrying too much.
The students of Class 3 in Grade 10 looked at her with a certain respect.
The reason was simple: just now, Lu Xun personally escorted her into the classroom, making an appearance in front of everyone.
When the classmates learned she was Scholar Lu's sister, all prejudices against students from other schools vanished.
That was Scholar Lu!
The most prominent high school student in all of First Middle School.
Scholar Lu was born into poverty, with an unfortunate family; he was the school's only impoverished student, yet he defied the odds with outstanding academic performance, reigning over First Middle School for three years.
Always chased but never surpassed; his position as the top leader was unshakable.
Most unbelievably, aside from academics, he delved into the art of appraisal, becoming a famous Master of Appraisal in the industry at just 18, with personal assets conservatively estimated to exceed nine figures, lifting himself out of poverty and achieving a sudden class transition for his family in no time.
He was so excellent and outstanding that he crushed any competitive spirit in First Middle School students.
Lu Xun was even more impressive than their prestigious parents; what was there to compare?
Everyone was beyond jealousy, simply offering admiration, sincerely acknowledging this man's brilliance.
He was indeed incredible.
Such an extraordinary reversal scenario was something that novels wouldn't dare write, as novels require logical consideration, which reality doesn't.
Sometimes reality is more magical than fiction!
No one could comprehend how Lu Xun managed to achieve this.
The same age, both 18, what made him shine so brightly?
For such unfathomable peers, people commonly describe them with two words—genius!
And an extraordinary genius at that.
Lu Xun was destined to be an illustrious figure in First Middle School's history.
Just mentioning his name brings the principal a proud and satisfied smile.
Xie Manyu completely underestimated her elder brother's popularity and prestige in First Middle School.
These new classmates, when they looked at her brother earlier, their admiration, respect, and longing were plain in their eyes.
So much prestige, right?!
Thus, unsurprisingly, as Lu Xun's sister, Xiao Yu benefited as well.
Whether classmates or teachers, none looked down upon or discriminated against her for coming from a trash school; instead, they treated her with courtesy and respect.
She felt so welcomed, it was a bit overwhelming.
Especially a few girls with excellent temperament and appearance were incredibly enthusiastic towards her, proactively showing goodwill, making friends, even sharing snacks and desserts, and expressing concern, wishing to instantly become sworn sisters.
Xie Manyu initially didn't quite understand.
Until the truth came to light…
"Um, Xiao Yu, for such a charming, handsome boy like Senior Lu, he must have a girlfriend, right?" Her desk mate girl softly probed.
"Huh?" Xie Manyu was momentarily stunned, quickly explaining on her brother's behalf, "My brother is really busy; all his mind is on important things. He doesn't engage in early romance. Isn't First Middle School against early romance? This sort of thing shouldn't be said recklessly, or the dean might give him trouble."
"Really? Senior Lu is single?" The girl's eyes lit up, then she showed an embarrassed expression, "Well, Xiao Yu, can you help me deliver a love letter to your brother? Honestly, I've admired Senior Lu for a long time. I've been writing him love letters daily for the past half year, filled a whole drawer... but never dared to confess. Could you help me?"
Xie Manyu: "..."
Her mouth twitched, full of black lines, momentarily at a loss for what to say.
Oh my, I considered you my desk mate and sister, but you actually want to be my sister-in-law?!
How ridiculous!
The thing is, this girl was indeed quite pretty; they say a girl's pursuit of a boy is like a thin veil. Her looks, temperament, family conditions were all good. If her brother were swayed by appearance, she might really become her sister-in-law!
