When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

"Deal made. You can have the last quarter."

Luo Qingyan tapped a few times on her phone screen, then parted her lips slightly and said.

"You've been my shield boyfriend for two years, thank you for your hard work."

Bai Yu waved his hand in response to Luo Qingyan's thanks, and said calmly.

"It's fine, I'm just doing my job for the money."

Luo Qingyan is the campus belle of Licheng University. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has excellent grades. She is simply the model of someone else's child.

To prevent harassment from suitors at school, Luo Qingyan hired Bai Yu as her nominal boyfriend for two years.

Although he's called my boyfriend, his role is basically that of a shield.

Normally, when the two meet, they just nod to each other and don't have much contact.

Bai Yu opened her phone and accepted the 5,000 yuan transfer from Luo Qingyan, which made her feel much better.

After finishing, Bai Yu decisively turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment......"

Luo Qingyan suddenly spoke, extending her hand slightly as if to ask her to stay.

But he put his hand down before Bai Yu could turn around.

"What's wrong?"

"Hmm...it's nothing."

A complex light flashed in Luo Qingyan's eyes.

It felt like something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything.

Seeing that Luo Qingyan remained silent for a long time, Bai Yu put on his headphones and turned to leave.

Back in the classroom, Bai Yu sat in the corner.

He didn't have a deskmate because he requested to sit at a single table.

Sitting in the back row of the classroom, I can secretly listen to music; it's very quiet and peaceful by myself.

Moreover, because Bai Yu acted as Luo Qingyan's shield, he became almost everyone's enemy, and they were all intentionally or unintentionally opposing him.

In particular, Chen Hao, the vice class monitor, would often make sarcastic remarks about Bai Yu.

To this, Bai Yu simply replied, "I don't even give you the time of day."

As for girls... their role as a shield is two-way.

Bai Yu also had little luck with the opposite sex in college because of this.

"Um... Today, everyone, let's welcome a new student who transferred to our class from a prestigious university abroad. Let's get along well!"

Class teacher Wang Meng walked in and said with a smile.

These words caused an uproar in the class.

Those sitting in the front row craned their necks, eager to see what their new classmates looked like.

"Come in, Mu Anqi."

Wang Meng smiled and waved towards the door.

When the name reached Bai Yu, who was sitting in the last row, it made him freeze.

Wait... what's it called?

Mu Anqi?

Bai Yu took off her headphones and looked up at the podium.

At that moment, a figure about 1.6 meters tall walked in from outside the door.

Mu Anqi, carrying a bag, calmly walked to the center of the podium.

She was wearing a loose white T-shirt, the hem of which she had casually tucked into her jeans.

This outfit gives off a youthful and energetic vibe, along with a touch of coolness.

However, what's most attractive about Mu Anqi is her face.

It was an extremely delicate baby face, the kind that was fair with a rosy glow, and even the facial features were very refined.

At first glance, it looks like it stepped out of a painting.

The boys in the class were immediately captivated, and even the girls were drawn to Mu Anqi's cuteness.

"This is just too cute, it's unfair..."

"Holy crap—"

"She looks like she's a potential school beauty queen."

The students' eyes widened in surprise, and a thunderous applause erupted in welcome.

On the stage, Mu Anqi seemed to be looking for something.

She looked around and searched, finally locking onto the far corner of the classroom.

Bai Yu raised her eyes and met Mu Anqi's gaze.

This is bad!

This was the first thought that arose in Bai Yu's mind.

She really came back to China? Is it really her?

It even matched me with my own class! Isn't that ridiculous?

Sensing Bai Yu looking at her, Mu Anqi gave a sweet smile and waved.

It was this smile that immediately caused the class to erupt in cheers again.

My heart is melting!

"So cute!"

"That smile defined my summer..."

Hearing the classroom was making a lot of noise, Wang Meng patted the podium and emphasized discipline.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Let Mu Anqi introduce herself first."

Upon hearing this, the entire class fell silent.

Almost everyone was very interested in Mu Anqi.

She's so cute!

She's practically a campus goddess!

Hearing her homeroom teacher's words, Mu Anqi nodded and wrote her name on the blackboard with chalk.

"This is my name. It's nice to meet you all."

After saying that, Mu Anqi fell silent.

The self-introduction consisted of simply stating his name, which slightly surprised everyone in the class, including the homeroom teacher.

In all my years of teaching, I've rarely seen such a short self-introduction.

Wow, this is incredibly mysterious!

"Wow, it's a perfect combination of 'cool and sweet'? I love it!"

One of the boys said in surprise.

Upon hearing this, the girl behind her rolled her eyes at her.

"Don't look down like that when you talk."

"Quiet! Quiet!"

Hearing the class arguing again, Wang Meng slapped the podium in dissatisfaction.

How can I leave a good impression on my new classmates like this?

Looks like we need to find an opportunity to improve the class atmosphere!

"Mu Anqi, please have a seat..."

As Wang Meng spoke, she scanned the layout of the classroom.

There are only two empty seats now, one next to Li Yu in the middle, and the other at the very back for Bai Yu.

Bai Yu has been asking to sit in the back and has repeatedly requested not to sit at the same table with someone else, so it probably won't work out for him.

Then let's assign it to Li Yu!

"There's still an empty seat for Li Yu, in the middle."

Wang Meng pointed in a direction, and Li Yu, who was being pointed at, had a very smug expression on his face.

I used to think that I was the most unfortunate person who didn't have a deskmate.

This time, I directly turned the tables and became the school beauty transfer student's deskmate.

The boys next to Li Yu were furious at his smug look.

I wish I were the one sitting at the table.

Bai Yu, who was sitting at another single table, was the class's nobody, and no one paid any attention to her.

Mu Anqi remained silent regarding Wang Meng's arrangement.

She walked down slowly, her canvas shoes making a clattering sound.

Li Yu looked at Mu Anqi walking towards him, and he was beaming with pride.

He even moved over to make room for himself to display his gentlemanly manners.

Unexpectedly, Mu Anqi walked right past him without stopping at all.

Li Yu was dumbfounded.

Not only was he dumbfounded, but all the classmates were dumbfounded and looked at Mu Anqi.

Mu Anqi walked to the far corner of the classroom, put one hand on her hip, pouted, and pointed at Bai Yu with one finger.

"Hey! Why didn't you say hello to me!"
