Chapter 1750 Special Class
"Look at the way she's dressed. I can tell at a glance that she's an attention seeker!"
"But you can't say that right away. Let's wait and see. What if she's a down-to-earth person?"
Everyone whispered among themselves. Qiao Mei had very good hearing and could hear everything they said. There were both nice and nasty comments and there were even people who slandered her. However, Qiao Mei could not be bothered with these people. They could gossip all they wanted. As the saying went, an upright person would not have a crooked shadow! As long as they were not an eyesore in front of her, Qiao Mei did not intend to deal with this group of people.
The next person to step into the classroom was a male student called Wu Duo. Like Qiao Mei, he attracted the attention of most of the female students the moment he stepped into the classroom. He was more than 1.9 meters tall, muscular and handsome. Many girls could not help but like him when they saw him.
However, Qiao Mei was not interested in Wu Duo. Xia Zhe was 10,000 times more handsome than any of these people. If she had to make a comparison, it would be like comparing between a toad on the ground and a swan in the lake. To her, Wu Duo was at most a little frog.
He immediately saw Qiao Mei, who was sitting by the window. He quickly ran over and sat in the seat beside Qiao Mei. As he moved too fast, he bumped into the stool and the loud sound startled all his classmates.
"Hi… um… hello, my name is Wu Duo. I'm a student in our class," Wu Duo said shyly as he scratched his head.
"Hello, my name is Qiao Mei," Qiao Mei said mildly.
The female student in front of Xu Jiao was called Bian Chi. She and Wu Duo had grown up in the same neighborhood and were like childhood sweethearts. Her family did not want her to go to school and forced her to go to work before she even graduated from high school. As for Wu Duo, he carried bricks at a nearby construction site after he finished high school. Due to his hard work, he was even promoted to be the supervisor after some time.
Just like that, Bian Chi quietly accompanied Wu Duo. When she found out that Wu Duo wanted to take the college entrance examination, she managed to beg her family to let her continue with her studies.
Bian Chi was also a beautiful girl, but only before Qiao Mei arrived. Many male classmates wanted to sit beside Bian Chi, but she rejected them all. She had been looking forward to Wu Duo's arrival and felt that only Wu Duo could sit beside her and no one else. However, she did not expect that Wu Duo did not even look at her and only kept staring at Qiao Mei.
Xu Jiao saw the tears in Bian Chi's eyes. She patted Bian Chi and asked, "What's wrong? Are you alright?"
"I… I'm fine." Although Bian Chi was talking to Xu Jiao, she could not help but look in Wu Duo's direction.
"Do you know that guy? The person sitting next to him is my cousin-in-law," Xu Jiao said.
"Cousin-in-law? Is she already married?" Bian Chi asked Xu Jiao in surprise.
Xu Jiao pretended to be innocent and said, "Yes, she's been married for a long time. Is that guy your relative?"
Bian Chi blushed and said, "No… no, that's just my neighbor."
"Oh~ Then you have to be careful. My cousin-in-law is very beautiful! Many men have fallen for her," Xu Jiao said in a weird tone.
Bian Chi looked at Qiao Mei with a dark expression. She felt that Qiao Mei must have done something to make Wu Duo sit down beside her. It was definitely not Wu Duo who took the initiative!
Qiao Mei did not pay attention to all this. She was not interested in interacting with these people at all and did not want to have anything to do with them. What she hoped for the most was for this year to pass peacefully.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
There were a few violent knocks on the door. A chubby man slowly walked to the middle of the podium with a stack of test papers. After tidying up the test papers, he coughed lightly.
"Cough, cough… I'm your homeroom teacher. My name is Wu Li. I know it sounds like the term for 'Physics', but no! My surname is Wu! I hope that everyone won't joke around with my name in the future. I don't think it's funny!" Wu Li took a deep breath and continued, "Our class is quite special. We have students of all ages. I hope that you can get along harmoniously and not cause trouble among your classmates!"
This class which Qiao Mei was attending was specially set up for this year's college entrance examination. There were people from all walks of life in the class, including housewives and underage students. There was even an 80-year-old elderly man.
