"Teacher, we're the transfer students."
Suddenly, two knocks sounded at the classroom door. The attention of all the students, including the teacher, was drawn to it.
Those who had previously had some objections to the new transfer students all looked amiable when they saw the two's appearances.
In the whole classroom, only Yao Mingxuan, Cheng Ruan, and Wei Ziqi were looking at the two with unfriendly gazes.
These two were none other than Han Shuo and Shao Rong, who had been under supervision.
Miaomiao didn't show any reaction. She had already forgotten who these two were. Even with a good memory, one would be a bit hazy about childhood matters. Moreover, Lin Yao and Wei Ziqi had shielded Miaomiao from all the previous troubles. At that time, she didn't even know why these two had suddenly transferred and disappeared.
"Come in."
The teacher was a bit dissatisfied with the students' reactions. Good - looking, polite, and academically excellent kids were of course likable. But the main thing was that these two had got in through connections. The teacher had no idea about their academic foundation. If they were just good - looking, they would only be a problem in the class.
However, since the principal had spoken, as a teacher, he couldn't say anything. He called the two in, let them introduce themselves, and then assigned them seats in a corner.
The seats in the class were arranged according to academic performance. Cheng Ruan and Yao Mingxuan ranked among the top in their studies and sat in the front row. Although Wei Ziqi and Miaomiao had never taken an exam, the teacher knew their foundation. Such genius students were precious in his eyes, so he specially arranged them in the second row, sitting in front of and behind Cheng Ruan and the others.
These four kids had the best relationship. The key was that none of them was academically poor. It was obvious that arranging them together wouldn't delay their studies, so the teacher was very relieved. Sometimes, he turned a blind eye to their chatting during class.
But for Han Shuo and his younger sister, who had been unreasonably stuffed into the class through the principal's connections, unless they adjusted their seats by their own strength in the exams, they would have to sit at the back for their entire high - school years.
During class, Wei Ziqi had been observing Shao Rong's every move. It could only be said that Shao Rong had received good training over the years. Although she still looked pure and innocent on the surface, her eyes were full of gloom, which she couldn't hide. However, she had made progress. She wasn't as easy to see through as when she was a child.
As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Shao Rong stood up. Han Shuo pulled at her wrist, but was mercilessly shaken off.
Shao Rong walked slowly towards Miaomiao with a smile on her face and said, "Classmate Lin Miaomiao, we meet again."
"Who are you?" Miaomiao was completely confused, although she could sense the familiarity in the other person's attitude.
Hearing this, Shao Rong could hardly keep her composure. Was there anything more frustrating in the world than regarding someone as a mortal enemy while the other person didn't even know who you were?
However, Shao Rong was now very calculating. Even though she was a bit angry, she could quickly adjust her facial expression.
"At that time, we were still in primary school. It's normal for you to forget. But I remember you very clearly. At that time, you were just like a little princess. Your family was rich, and you had many friends. Although your academic performance wasn't good, everyone would spoil you, and even the teacher wouldn't care much. So I was really envious of you."
Shao Rong's words were quite cunning. In other classes or on other occasions, others might just listen and it wouldn't have any impact on Miaomiao. But in the rocket class, these words were thought - provoking.
Among so many high - achieving students, there were quite a few from poor families. They despised those rich kids who had poor academic performance, got into school by their families' donations, and could easily get what they had worked hard for.
However, Shao Rong's little scheme was probably going to fail. She had overlooked the fact that the places in the two lifetimes were different, and the people around were also different.
In Nancheng, everyone knew how powerful Lin Yao was. As the daughter of the richest man in the city, once her identity was exposed, it was normal for her to be targeted by those who hated the rich. But in the imperial capital, except for those in high positions, who knew who Lin Yao was?
Miaomiao was very low - key in her daily life. She went to school by bike like everyone else and didn't seem very rich. At most, she just had no worries about food and drink.
Moreover, Miaomiao was always happy with everyone. Her relationship with her classmates was neither too close nor too far.
After all, no one would dislike a cute little girl who posed no threat to them.
So Shao Rong's words were completely in vain. Instead, she was scrutinized by everyone.
In her previous life, Miaomiao was in an ordinary class. The kids there were truly in their adolescence, with their intelligence and emotional quotient not yet fully developed. But in the rocket class, the kids were all very smart. Even if they couldn't react immediately when they heard these words, they would figure out something was wrong after thinking about it.
"Oh, I have good academic performance now. I've corrected my previous problems." Although Miaomiao also felt that the girl in front of her was speaking strangely, she took it as a compliment and replied cheerfully.
The completely ineffective attempt at sowing discord made Shao Rong return in defeat. She forced a smile that didn't reach her eyes and returned to her seat.
"I've already told you not to provoke her. Why don't you listen? Have you forgotten all the hardships and sufferings we've endured over the years? If you keep causing trouble, we'll never have a chance to rise."
Han Shuo lowered his voice and warned.
"I think it's you who has forgotten. I know what you want to say, but don't forget who we've suffered all these years because of. If it weren't for her, you'd still be the young master of the Han family."
"You were the one who first tried to kill her!"
"But it was her father who first pushed me into a corner."
"Stop talking. If someone hears us, we'll both be in trouble."
Han Shuo and Shao Rong whispered to each other and quarreled in a very low voice. Finally, they both fell silent.
The life they had lived in the past few years could only be described as a nightmare. Han Shuo was a bit better. Since he had been betrayed by his younger sister, his supervision wasn't that strict. But Shao Rong had committed a real crime. Whether she was eating, sleeping, going to school, or going out, there were always people watching her. Even when she took a bath or went to the toilet, there were female employees following her. She was under 24 - hour surveillance, and there wasn't a single day when there was no one around her.
