Qin Shu glanced at Ye Xue and saw that she was still studying hard with her head lowered. If this continued, would she become a nerd?
She reached out her hand and took out the pen from Ye Xue’s hand. “Go out and take a look. You can admire a good-looking thing while you are at it.”
Ye Xue looked at Qin Shu with a puzzled expression.
Qin Shu pulled her out of the classroom.
Ye Xue followed behind her with a blank expression.
By the time they had walked out of the classroom, there was already a crowd gathered in front of the railings in the corridor.
“Is he wearing cosmetic contact lenses? His purple eyes are so beautiful.”
“The beauty of a person is like jade and the looks of the gentleman is unparalleled. This statement is most apt at describing him.”
Qin Shu pulled Ye Xue to the back of the crowd and looked downstairs. She saw the principal guiding a man with purple eyes around.
She recognized him at a glance. He was the man she had met in South Asia.
Against the light, the man’s skin was so pale that it was almost transparent.
His face looked as if it were carved of jade. He looked sickly beautiful.
His eyes were gentle, without a speck of pollution in them. It was as if he was extremely gentle to all living things in the world.
He was wearing a gray-white suit, which made his figure look slender and lean.
Ye Xue’s eyes flashed with surprise. That man had a gentle and refined temperament. He smiled lightly, resembling a spring breeze.
“I heard that he came from the capital and will give our school two guaranteed spots in university.”
“Is it Imperial College? It’s hard to get guaranteed spots, isn’t it?”
“The point is that you can see him often when you enter Imperial College.”
Qin Shu listened to the discussions between her classmates and realized that he was from the capital.
The man walking on the cement road suddenly lifted his head and looked over.
Qin Shu did not know whether it was because of her guilt or the man’s probing gaze. She subconsciously looked away as if she was afraid that he would recognize her.
The man’s gaze lingered on her for a few seconds before moving away. He chatted with the principal as he left.
After Qin Shu came back to her senses, she felt that she had made a fool of herself. How could that man recognize her at a glance?
She had only stood in the corridor for a few minutes, but she was already sweating profusely from the heat.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. She did not even know how she had survived the summer in her previous life with her hair down?
After the man with purple eyes left, the students in the corridor also dispersed.
After Qin Shu and Ye Xue returned to the classroom, she asked Ye Xue, “How confident are you about making it into Imperial College?”
“I don’t know either. I feel that it’s a little difficult. But I will do my best. After all, Imperial College is my goal.”
When Qin Shu heard Ye Xue say this, she did not mention the guaranteed spots.
During class, the teacher stood on the podium and looked at the students below the stage, she cleared her throat. “I want to tell you all a piece of good news. Our class has a guaranteed spot at Imperial College. For the sake of fairness, we will vote on who will get this place. However, the prerequisite is that the candidate’s mock exam results should be above average. Those who have the right to vote are the top ten and the bottom of the class.”
Qin Shu thought to herself, if Ye Xue managed to get a guaranteed spot, she would definitely make it to Imperial College. It would not affect her results after all the hard work she had put in.
She stood up and looked at the teacher. “I vote for Ye Xue. Her mock exam results are above average.”
The homeroom teacher looked at Qin Shu and said darkly, “There are several above average students in the class. Whoever has the most votes will get the spot.”
Qin Shu understood the meaning behind the homeroom teacher’s words. She actually didn’t want to give the spot to Ye Xue because she didn’t like Ye Xue.
Zhou Yizuo stood up and said, “I voted for Wu Yue. Her results are also above average.”
One after another, people stood up to vote, but no one voted for Ye Xue.
