The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 392 - 391 I’m Sitting Here on My Own Merit
Chapter 392: Chapter 391: I’m Sitting Here on My Own Merit Chapter 392 -391: I’m Sitting Here on My Own Merit Then, suddenly a burst of girls’ screams echoed through the classroom.
“Ahhh, so handsome!”
“Who is this?
Which school is he from?
Quick, quick, quick, give me all the info on this guy within a minute!”
“It must be Xiu Qian…
He wasn’t here during the roll call just now.”
“Xiu Qian?
The one from the same school as Qiao Yaning?
A Jinjing local?”
The words “Jinjing local” implicitly carried connotations of power and wealth.
“Whoever he is, no matter how he performs academically, just the thought of spending fourteen days with a god-like man like him feels worth it!”
The girls continued to scream, and the boys glanced at Xiu Qian, clicking their tongues in amazement.
Before the students could finish talking, Bi Jun, standing on the podium, began to laugh, even more amiable than when he had spoken to Lu Mian earlier.
“Xiu Qian, here are your meal card and room card.”
Xiu Qian.
Everyone remembered that name.
Xiu Qian’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at the podium, disregarding Bi Jun, his gaze falling on Lu Mian with a somewhat aloof air.
He slowly parted his lips, with an undeniable tone, “Let go.”
Lu Mian raised her eyebrows slightly, her cool eyes scanning the boy in front of her, crisp short hair, chiseled features, a touch of brooding melancholy in his indifferent eyes and brows, clothes neat and wrinkle-free, fingernails short and clean.
His face would naturally appear handsome to ordinary people, but to Lu Mian, who had seen too much of Xiao Qimo, it seemed quite plain.
Lu Mian, as if she hadn’t heard the frenzy of the girls around her, applied more force with her hand, her lips curled in a reckless and proud smirk.
“You let go,” she said with a tone that was even more dominant and colder than Xiu Qian’s.
Neither of them would back down.
The crowd watched the two of them, both on edge, completely dumbfounded.
Are they really starting a fight over this?
Clutching the meal and room cards, Bi Jun was caught between a rock and a hard place; he could not afford to offend either of them!
For a moment, Bi Jun wasn’t sure how to mediate the situation, and the other students also didn’t know what to say.
In the end, it was Qiao Yaning who spoke up to remind them, “That Lu Mian, you should let go.
Xiu Qian is the second-place winner in our exam; he has the right to choose his seat.”
“Second place?!”
With that, the girls in the class looked at Xiu Qian with even more fervor.
Why do people who look so good also study so well?!
What did he trade for this?
After Qiao Yaning finished speaking, the other girls also began to protest on Xiu Qian’s behalf.
“That girl, let go of your claws, don’t compete with our god for things!”
“Exactly, doesn’t she weigh her own worth at all?”
Fang Xilan turned to look at Lu Mian and Xiu Qian and silently shook her head.
She had already warned Lu Mian not to oppose Xiu Qian.
Xiu Qian was accustomed to the praises from around him and believed that the girl opposite him had heard those words as well.
He scoffed and released his hold, folding his arms in front of his chest, arrogance mixed with a dominance that seemed inevitable as he spoke.
“I’m sitting here by right, what about you?”
Good students always have the freedom to choose their seats wherever they go, and he had always been able to choose his own seat without anyone stopping him.
Lu Mian raised an eyebrow, a cold smile playing in her deep eyes as she glanced around, almost as if it were a laugh.
“I’m also sitting here by right,” she said lightly.
“You?” Xiu Qian’s eyebrows rose.
How arrogant!
Among all the participants in the physics competition, aside from the first place, no one could make such a claim in front of him.
“Lu Mian, you better move aside!”
“What right do you have?
You’re not a Jinjing local, and you’re not as outstanding as Xiu Qian!
What do you have to compare with him?”
“You have no self-awareness at all, no wonder you were thinking of quitting the training camp just now!”
Bi Jun watched as the tension in the classroom increased and was in agony, torn between two sides.
Before any further misunderstandings could arise, he, with great reluctance, made his way to the very last row.
“Xiu Qian, this is Lu Mian, the first place winner of the physics competition.
It’s the first time you two are meeting, right?
Say hello.”
Lu Mian.
First place in the physics competition.
When such a label was spoken, everyone was struck by a bolt of lightning, astonished.
“Her?
First place?”
“The one who scored full marks twice?”
Everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
After glancing at Bi Jun, they turned to look at Zhang Yanyan, sitting in the corner with thick glasses.
Zhang Yanyan had once said that the first place winner was a girl from their school.
Zhang Yanyan was not good with words, but he still gave a positive answer.
“…” No one spoke, dry and speechless.
The girl who talked about giving up the training camp, the one who said seats should be claimed on merit – she really had the talents to back it up!
Xiu Qian’s gaze finally showed some change, and the emotion at the bottom of his eyes fluctuated, making the air even more charged with tension.
He stared at Lu Mian for a long while, but Lu Mian remained indifferent, even disdainful.
Xiu Qian was outmaneuvered.
“Fine, you’re capable.” He thought his second place was impressive enough, yet quite by chance, this girl turned out to be the top scorer with full marks.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
He nodded, lifted his leg, and kicked away the seat in front of him to sit down.
This silent war had ended without a trace.
Lu Mian hooked the corner of her mouth, with a bit of wildness and rogue-like pride.
Arrogantly and resolutely, she took the seat she liked.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought: Bosses really do have the arrogance to back them up!
Fang Xilan in the front row twisted her clothes and bit her lip.
Lu Mian turned out to be the first place winner, but she hadn’t even brought her physics textbook…
In view of the recent mix-up, Bi Jun felt it was necessary for everyone to introduce themselves, so he suggested starting from the first row.
The students in their class came from all over the country, from everywhere.
They spoke Mandarin, though some students also had hometown accents that were immediately recognizable.
If they met someone from the same hometown, they would naturally feel a bit more kinship with each other.
Qiao Yaning, the one covered in designer brands, stood up.
Turning sideways with a smile, she scanned the class, “My name is Qiao Yaning, a student from Era Middle School’s Senior Year Class One.
I hope to learn more about physics and also make friends with everyone here!”
“Sure, sure!”
“Boss, we’re sure to be friends with this friend of yours!”
After Qiao Yaning finished speaking and sat down, she glanced at Xiu Qian behind her.
As her gaze shifted away, it inadvertently swept across Lu Mian, and her eyes held a somewhat complex expression as she looked away.
It was Xiu Qian’s turn.
He stood up, his tone distant as he began, “I’m Xiu Qian, from Era Middle School, second place in both the preliminary and semifinal rounds.
I hope we all get along peacefully in the next two weeks.”
Even though it was still delivered coldly, at least he managed a few courteous words.
Bi Jun was quite relieved.
As long as this young master behaved himself and didn’t cause trouble, it would save him a lot of worry.
Next up was Lu Mian.
Lu Mian never liked the self-introduction part; she wasn’t good at socializing and couldn’t be bothered with pleasantries.
She stood up, her tone light and dispassionate, “I’m Lu Mian.”
Just those four simple words, and she sat down again.
Everyone: “…”
This one was even cooler than Xiu Qian just now!
“Say a couple more things!” a few boys chanted, “At least we’ll be together for two weeks!”
“Yeah, let’s at least make friends!”
Bi Jun also smiled and persuaded, “Lu Mian, say a couple more things to everyone, will you?”
Lu Mian stood up again, tilted her head to think for a moment, and then spoke calmly, “In the coming two weeks, I hope you’ll all treat me like a vernier caliper.”
Vernier caliper?
All present were physics aces, and none was unfamiliar with this piece of physics equipment.
But why did she want everyone to treat her like a vernier caliper?
Was there any particular meaning?
