Chapter 68 Ugly Duckling's Rise to Power: She Squeezes Out the School Beauty and Becomes a Coup
"Dear students, please take a close look at the seating chart and the corresponding personnel arrangements. Once you understand, you can start packing your things and moving to your new seats."
There were no classes this afternoon, so I managed to change seats smoothly before school ended.
As Ye Xingchen spoke, she quickly began packing her belongings.
Because the classroom was too crowded, Mu Wanwan had no choice but to stand further away and patiently wait for everyone else to finish reading before going over to take a look.
Yan Xiyue walked over with light steps and said to her with a smile, "Wanwan, you don't need to move your things. You can stay in the same place."
"Thank you!" She then sat comfortably in her original seat, waiting for her new deskmate.
Mu Wanwan has always been disliked by all her classmates. At some point, she no longer has a deskmate, and there is only an empty table next to her.
However, when someone was surprised to find that Mu Wanwan's deskmate was actually the class monitor, the whole classroom instantly erupted in chaos, with students whispering and discussing among themselves.
Despite the noisy environment and the strange looks and comments from the crowd, Mu Wanwan was not oblivious. However, she chose to turn a deaf ear and a blind eye, remaining quietly seated as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her.
She already knew that her new deskmate had offered himself up.
Lin Jingya's deskmate had now changed to a student whose grades were slightly lower. Meanwhile, Ye Xingchen quickly clutched a stack of books he had neatly arranged to his chest and strode towards Mu Wanwan's location without hesitation. However, at that moment, Lin Jingya suddenly blocked his path.
Lin Jingya raised her eyebrows and questioned Ye Xingchen angrily, "Ye Xingchen, what exactly do you mean by this? Are you really that unwilling to continue being my deskmate?"
In truth, she knew perfectly well that the seating arrangement was clearly Ye Xingchen's doing.
Faced with Lin Jingya's questioning, Ye Xingchen stopped in his tracks, but his handsome face remained expressionless as he coldly stared at the girl in front of him.
Lin Jingya was so annoying. What did she want to do by stopping him for no reason? You know, every minute and every second was incredibly precious to him right now. All he wanted to do was rush to Mu Wanwan's side and become her deskmate.
Ye Xingchen's brows furrowed tightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his previously calm eyes.
He said irritably, "You have excellent grades, and I am also among the top students. We don't need to help each other at all. Wouldn't it be more efficient if we each helped a classmate? So, it's perfect that you tutor a classmate who is a little weaker, and I help another classmate!"
After saying this, Ye Xingchen straightened his chest, as if everything he said was a self-evident and irrefutable truth.
After hearing Ye Xingchen's righteous and incorruptible remarks, the surrounding students nodded in agreement.
After all, logically speaking, Ye Xingchen's statement does make a lot of sense.
So, everyone started chattering. Some praised Ye Xingchen for his thoughtfulness, while others advised Lin Jingya not to be so stubborn. For a moment, the classroom was filled with a cacophony of voices.
"Ye Xingchen, don't you know what you're really planning?" Lin Jingya roared furiously. Her voice was almost hoarse, her chest heaving violently with anger, and her originally beautiful face was now twisted and ferocious with extreme rage, completely losing the gentle, charming, and refined appearance of the school beauty she used to be.
Faced with Lin Jingya's questioning, Ye Xingchen remained calm and composed, replying, "My thoughts are simple and clear: I simply want those students whose grades are slightly lagging behind to quickly improve their scores with everyone's help. This benefits everyone, so why is it that everyone else has no objections, but you alone are criticizing me?"
When Ye Xingchen said this, his gaze was clear and firm, but in this seemingly pure intention, there was actually a little bit of his own selfishness mixed in.
Hearing this, Mu Wanwan could no longer hold back. She stared at Lin Jingya with a wronged expression, her lips trembling slightly, but she remained silent.
Crystalline tears welled up in her eyes and soon rolled down like broken beads, soaking her already adorable little face and leaving it a mess.
In the past, the classmates would have stood by Lin Jingya, the school beauty, without hesitation, and would have protected and supported her in every way.
However, at this moment, everyone felt that the school beauty's remarks were too harsh, mean, and inhumane.
Mu Wanwan has always been gentle and compliant. When faced with accusations from others, she always chooses to silently endure them without offering much explanation, as if all the grievances can be absorbed by her frail body. Even when she suffers many injustices, she rarely argues with others and always responds to everything with a submissive attitude.
"Lin, how could you say that about Mu Wanwan? Although Mu Wanwan's looks may not be the most outstanding, she is still a girl after all!"
Your words are incredibly hurtful! We're all classmates, seeing each other every day, why say such harsh things? Besides, the class monitor was doing this to maintain harmony in our class. How can you be so narrow-minded and look down on someone like that!
The one who stood up for Mu Wanwan was none other than Tan Qingping, the class's discipline committee member, known for his fairness and strictness. He spoke righteously, his eyes firm and serious, staring directly at Lin Jingya, who had spoken rudely.
Hearing someone speak up for her, and for the first time in her life, a classmate other than Ye Xingchen, stood up for her, Mu Wanwan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She looked at Tan Qingping with gratitude and nodded slightly to express her thanks.
Ye Xingchen, who had been silent all along, could no longer contain his anger. He took a step forward and shouted loudly.
"Lin, inner beauty is true beauty! How can a person's beauty or ugliness be determined solely by their appearance? Sometimes what the eyes see is not necessarily the truth; only by feeling with the heart can one truly understand its essence! Now, please step aside immediately!"
Faced with Ye Xingchen and Tan Qingping's accusations, Lin Jingya was initially taken aback, as if startled by the sudden turn of events. A moment later, her delicate face became even more distorted with anger, and then she suddenly burst into a piercing, maniacal laugh that sent chills down one's spine.
