The next day, Luo Zixuan, who had already transferred his student status, packed his small backpack and happily walked through the gates of First High School with Lin Wan.
However, once inside, Luo Zixuan's happiness faded.
Watching a group of girls staring at Lin Wan with sparkling eyes, the jealousy within him was off the charts.
He leaned slightly to the side, trying to use his tall frame to block Lin Wan from their view, and pretended to be nonchalant as he asked, "Ze Zhi, who are they?"
Upon hearing Luo Zixuan's jealousy-laden question, Lin Wan struggled to suppress his smile and looked over with an innocent expression.
"They're just ordinary junior students. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, it just feels a bit uncomfortable being watched by them. Let's hurry to the classroom."
Luo Zixuan grabbed Lin Wan's hand and quickly walked toward the classroom.
Behind them, the first and second-year girls chattered excitedly.
In the past, Lin Wan alone was already eye-catching, but now with Luo Zixuan by his side, the girls at First High were declaring themselves helplessly enchanted by the sight of two handsome guys.
Although they were all in school uniforms, why did it look like other boys were wearing sacks while these two looked like they just stepped off a runway?
As they watched the two handsome boys enter their class, the passing girls couldn't help but sigh in envy.
Once inside the classroom, Lin Wan received the attention of the whole class, along with a warm welcome from Wang Gaofei.
"Boss, you're here!"
Wang Gaofei cheerfully approached but was coldly shoved aside by a hand.
Wang Gaofei: ???
"Who are you?"
Looking at the man in front of him, who was even more handsome than himself, Wang Gaofei's tone was quite displeased.
Upon hearing this, Luo Zixuan smirked and revealed a proud smile.
"Me? I’m Wan Wan's—"
Before Luo Zixuan could finish, he was quickly interrupted by Lin Wan.
“This is my… younger brother. Yes, my younger brother.”
Lin Wan shot a glare at Luo Zixuan, warning him not to speak out of turn. He felt quite pleased to have taken advantage of Luo Zixuan with that statement.
Younger brother?
That’s right; I did see this person at the master’s house before. But why does this younger brother look older than the master? Wang Gaofei wondered.
“By the way, do you know why everyone is looking at me like that?”
Since Lin Wan entered the room, the entire class had been watching him. Noticing their complex expressions, Lin Wan raised an eyebrow and asked Wang Gaofei.
“Oh, it’s because the results are out!”
Wang Gaofei dismissed the so-called “younger brother” from his mind and immediately shifted his attention.
“Boss, did you know? You ranked first in the grade!”
As he followed Lin Wan to his seat, Wang Gaofei excitedly exclaimed, “Boss, do you know? You scored first in the grade, FIRST!!!”
As someone who usually struggled academically and was always at the bottom, Wang Gaofei was extremely excited. With his explanation, the gazes from their classmates became even more intense.
“Alright, class is starting! All students who are wandering around, return to your seats!”
When the bell rang, the homeroom teacher knocked on the podium, her sharp gaze fixating on Wang Gaofei, the direction of her words quite obvious.
Once the classroom was settled, the homeroom teacher adjusted her glasses perched on her nose and looked at Lin Wan with great satisfaction.
“As you all know, our classmate Lin Wan has made significant progress in the mock exam! Let’s give him a round of applause!”
Clap clap clap—
Under the homeroom teacher's lead, a wave of applause erupted in the classroom.
Following that, the homeroom teacher passionately delivered an impromptu speech about how “as long as you put in the effort, everyone can achieve miracles,” with an excited tone and stirring words.
Lin Wan sat in his seat, feeling somewhat numb as he listened to the homeroom teacher’s praises.
He hadn’t studied until five-thirty in the morning or only slept for two hours every day; he didn’t cry until his eyes were swollen and wipe away tears to continue fighting for grades…
Feeling awkward as he listened to the homeroom teacher exaggerating his achievements, and sensing the gazes from the surrounding academic strugglers filled with admiration as if to say, “Wow, brother, you’re working so hard,” Lin Wan felt embarrassed.
Fortunately, today, besides analyzing the results, there was something else to do.
The homeroom teacher concluded her remarks and began introducing the new transfer student to the class.
“This is Luo Zixuan, who has transferred to our class. He will be spending the next three months with us, so let’s welcome him with applause!”
Clap clap clap—
Another round of applause erupted from the students.
Facing the many inquisitive gazes, Luo Zixuan remained quite indifferent.
His sharp eyes were fixated on Lin Wan, his expression somewhat fierce.
While everyone in the class was guessing whether the new transfer student had a grudge against Lin Wan, only Lin Wan knew that this guy was secretly being affectionate.
Ignoring the homeroom teacher’s advice and warnings, Luo Zixuan firmly chose a seat next to Lin Wan.
“Well, if you insist, then you can sit there.”
Perhaps he had been given some instructions, as the homeroom teacher ultimately complied with Luo Zixuan’s choice.
However, watching Luo Zixuan stride confidently toward Lin Wan, she frowned and said meaningfully, “But we still need to respect personal preferences. By this Friday, we’ll arrange seats based on grades, so everything will be determined by performance.”
“Also, if you encounter any problems or have issues you can’t resolve, feel free to come and talk to me anytime. My office door is always open for you.”
“Alright, let’s start class. This lesson will cover the exam paper; please take out your papers and start with the multiple-choice questions…”
The homeroom teacher began to speak at length at the podium, while behind her, the struggling students gathered, their eyes often drifting towards Lin Wan, filled with uncontainable curiosity.
Seeing how the transfer student was acting, was he looking down on Lin Wan? Wow, looks like there will be some juicy gossip soon!
Amidst the students’ gossiping glances, Lin Wan sighed softly.
He noticed Luo Zixuan’s expression, which had tightened since hearing the homeroom teacher mention the seating arrangements based on grades this Friday. He felt that this big fool was adorably simple-minded, and that stern face was just too easy to read.
Why hadn’t he noticed this before? This person only looked fierce; despite his strong abilities, inside he was filled with adorably simple characteristics.
As Lin Wan lamented missing out on so many treasures before, he reached out to pinch Luo Zixuan’s fingertips and used his spiritual energy to whisper to him, “Alright then, I’ll be the first to choose a seat. I’ll definitely choose to sit next to you!”
After being sweet-talked like that, Luo Zixuan’s initially gloomy mood instantly brightened.
He let out a small sound and edged his body closer to Lin Wan, nudging him slightly, then turned his face away to look out the window, softly letting out a “hmm” sound. His expression looked incredibly serious.
Lin Wan watched as Luo Zixuan’s ears began to blush, and to spare him any embarrassment, he worked hard to suppress his laughter.
He teasingly stroked Luo Zixuan’s palm with his fingers and deliberately whispered softly near Luo Zixuan’s ear, “So, it’s settled then?”
！！！
Feeling his heart race at Lin Wan’s teasing, Luo Zixuan was left in a daze from the impact.
“N-no talking, just pay attention in class!”
Looking into Luo Zixuan’s bright eyes, Lin Wan curved his own eyes, full of laughter.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
！！！
Luo Zixuan couldn’t take it anymore; his partner had never treated him this way before!
Gentle! Good-looking! Full of love and care for his partner!
He felt so excited that he was filled with strength, imagining he could punch that unknown troublemaker from the South Pole of Earth to the North Pole and chase him in the air, grabbing him to do a special move that would leave him helpless and begging.
Snap—
Luo Zixuan couldn’t control his emotions and accidentally broke a corner of the wooden desk.
“Focus on class.”
After letting out some emotions on the innocent desk, Luo Zixuan took a deep breath and didn’t dare to look at Lin Wan. He spoke in a deep voice.
Hahaha!
Seeing Luo Zixuan acting silly made Lin Wan want to laugh out loud.
Hahaha! How come he never noticed how funny Luo Zixuan is?
Lin Wan was very happy and didn’t think about anything romantic. He felt like he had opened a door to a fun new world!
From that moment on, Lin Wan decided to tease Luo Zixuan and make him “embarrassed.” In the future, he would pay a price for the silly things he did back then.
Meanwhile, the onlookers were very entertained by their interaction.
“Oh wow, they are fighting! The transfer student bumped into Lin Wan! Oh no! The transfer student turned to the window, looking scary! Oh my gosh! He just broke a desk corner with his bare hands! Is he even human?!”
Looking at Lin Wan, who seemed weak and helpless, the crowd felt sorry for him.
They had been classmates for years. Plus, Lin Wan, after working hard, looked delicate and young, making the others naturally feel protective of him.
Everyone felt sorry for Lin Wan while blaming Luo Zixuan.
This transfer student is too much! They had to protect their classmate from this bully!
At that moment, Luo Zixuan had no idea of the challenges coming his way. He was just happy and full of thoughts like “ahh!” dancing in his mind.

Thousands of miles away, in a gloomy basement, a dark-cloaked man named Xing Qisen was struggling with pain while consuming something. Suddenly, he sneezed multiple times.
“My king, should we start the heating spell?”
Seeing this, the masked man looked worried.
“No need. Someone is probably talking about me. I’ll kill them first when I become a god!” Xing Qisen said angrily.
“Understood.”
The masked man brought more of the substance to him, looking a bit worried.

Lin Wan’s good grades caused a stir at school. Every teacher mentioned him to encourage their students.
“If a student like Lin Wan can turn things around, you can too if you work harder!”
Because of this, Lin Wan, who didn’t want the attention, became well-known at the school, with many junior students talking about him.
“Oh, you mean Lin Wan? The one who suddenly became the top student, right?!”
More and more junior students came to see Lin Wan, making Luo Zixuan very jealous. He wanted to keep Lin Wan close and drive away any girls interested in him.
---
Time passed quickly, and soon three months went by.
The relationship between Lin Wan and Luo Zixuan changed gradually without Lin Wan noticing.
