Chapter 2: School Beauty Qin Yanran

  When Lin Qingxue called out to him, Su Lin's whole body trembled and he instinctively stood up straight, knowing that he had been discovered by his homeroom teacher, Lin. However, Su Lin thought for a moment, the class bell had just rung, and now he was already inside the school, so it shouldn't be considered late, so he still turned around with a bit of confidence, looking at Lin Qingxue who was walking towards him with a fierce expression on her high heels. But then he immediately became timid and said in a cowardly tone: "Teacher Lin..."

  "Su Lin, take a look, what time is it now? The class bell has already rung, and what did the teacher tell you yesterday? Don't be late again, don't be late again. Now there's only one month left until the college entrance exam. Look at your classmates in the class, they can't wait to arrive at the classroom for early reading at 5 or 6 o'clock, but you can't even make it on time..."

  Lin Qingxue was huffing and puffing, her two delicate hands on her hips, scolding Su Lin in a resentful tone, "Hard work and gain are directly proportional, Su Lin. You spend all day loafing around without studying, how can your grades possibly improve? If you keep this up, you won't even be able to get into a second-tier school..."

  Being scolded by the head teacher is indeed embarrassing, but it also depends on what kind of head teacher it is. If it's an old pedant who always has a stern face and scolds people every day, or a middle-aged woman who often bursts into loud curses, then it's really hard to bear.

  Ke Su Lin's homeroom teacher, Lin Qing Xue, had just graduated from normal school two or three years ago and was 24 or 25 years old, which is the age when a woman completely matures from being green. In order to maintain her dignity as a homeroom teacher, Lin Qing Xue also deliberately dressed in a mature style, often wearing professional suits, shirts, and high heels.

  "Actually, Teacher Lin's figure is still quite good, with a nice curve, black silk stockings wrapped around her beautiful legs, if I could touch them, it would be extremely..."

  While being spoken to by Lin Qingxue, Su Lin was still able to think wildly, to the point where Lin Qingxue had already noticed that Su Lin's gaze was not right. She immediately coughed and said, "Su Lin, where are your eyes actually looking? The teacher is talking to you, are you really listening seriously? Do I really need to invite your parents over?"

  "No, no, no...... Mr. Lin, I know I was wrong, I'll definitely work hard and study, and I guarantee that I won't be late again. Mr. Lin, class is about to start... I'll go to the classroom first..."

  As usual, Su Lin made an unguaranteed guarantee and immediately ran towards the classroom.

  "Su Lin...... you......"

  I'm really at my wit's end with Su Lin, and Lin Qingxue could only huff and puff a sigh. In fact, as the head teacher of Class 3 (2), she had always tried her best to teach and help every student in the class. In her opinion, although Su Lin's current grades were not good, just barely passing with over 400 points, which was enough to get into a third-tier university, Su Lin was not stupid, on the contrary, he had a high IQ, but just didn't work hard enough, if only he worked harder, maybe he could get into a second-tier university.

  As a result, Su Lin, who had been lagging behind in her studies, became the focus of Lin Qingxue's attention before the college entrance examination. It wasn't that she wanted to find fault with Su Lin every day, but rather she genuinely wanted to help Su Lin improve her grades.

  "Lin Zi, why are you late again today? Didn't you run into Teacher Lin?"

  Arriving at the classroom, seeing Su Lin coming so late again, Li Hao, his deskmate and partner in crime, said with a gloating face, "Didn't Teacher Lin say last time? If you're late again, she'll call your parents."

  "Ugh... bad luck again, and I got scolded by Teacher Lin. Luckily, Teacher Lin didn't ask me to bring my parents in, or else my mom would definitely have skinned me alive..."

  Su Lin glared at Li Hao, stuffed her backpack into the drawer, sat down and said to Li Hao, "Don't mention me, Haozi, you're not much better off either. The college entrance exam is coming up soon, what will we do with our grades?"

  Look at Xue Hao's plump body, round and swollen. Su Lin couldn't help but slap Li Hao's belly, "Just look at your big belly, even if you go to Dongguang Province to work, no one will want you."

  "Who wants to go to work now? My old man said, after I graduate from high school, either go to some vocational middle school for a few years, or just go back home and do business with him... Working? That's all about making money for others, I'm not doing that kind of losing business. How about you, Linzi, why don't you come and do business with me too?"

  "Me? Me... I'll think about it later! Let's talk about it after the college entrance exam..."

  When it comes to the direction of the future, Su Lin is also confused. With his mediocre academic performance, even if he gets into college, it will be a third-tier university at best. Whether his family can afford to support him or not is still a problem. Can't bear the thought of graduating from high school and going straight to work? Thinking about this, Su Lin felt a little unwilling. He remembered that in junior high school, he was an excellent student, otherwise he wouldn't have been admitted to Jian'an No. 1 Middle School.

  It's just because of his laziness during his three years in high school that Su Lin's grades have always been so mediocre.

  Taking a glance around the classroom, Su Lin discovered that except for herself and Li Hao, all her other classmates were diligently reviewing their lessons, either reciting English vocabulary or memorizing ancient poems. Her gaze swept across the class, and she looked at the top-scoring students who basically had a 100% chance of getting into a key university. She couldn't help but feel envious and jealous. Su Lin knew that after the college entrance exams, her fate would be vastly different from theirs.

  Days are spent in a daze, and after the college entrance exam, what can be done, Su Lin thinks about it every time, and it's also a wave of annoyance. His parents have already grown old, and the family's economic situation is not good either. As for the future, Su Lin is really confused.

  "Hey! Su Lin... hand in yesterday's English composition, the group leader of your group has collected everyone else's, you're late again today, and now the whole class is missing yours, hurry up and hand it in, I'll take it to the office for Teacher Lin to grade."

  It was Qin Yanran, the class leader and beauty of Class 3(2), who walked up to Su Lin with a pile of compositions in her arms. As Qin Yanran was also the English class representative responsible for collecting English homework, she had come to rush Su Lin for his assignment.

  Qin Yanran is not only the class flower of Class 3 (2) but also the school flower of Jian'an Middle School. Her sweet appearance and excellent grades make her a treasure in the teachers' eyes as well as the dream girl of all the male students in school. Today, Qin Yanran wore a light white short dress, white silk stockings that reached down to her toes, and a pair of cute little floral shoes. Her black hair was tied up in a ponytail, and with a slight flick of her head, the air was filled with a faint scent of fragrance.

  "Huh? English composition? I... sorry, class monitor, I... I forgot again, can I... hand it in a bit later? I'll make it up right away, just 10 minutes, will 10 minutes do? I'll definitely give it to you before the first period starts."

  Su Lin slapped her forehead, she had forgotten to do her homework again, so she could only plead with Qin Yanran.

  "Linz, your method is too outdated. Wanting to attract the attention of our class flower by not doing English homework is doomed to fail. Because brother has tried it countless times before, this can only bring back the opportunity to drink tea in Lin teacher's office."

  Li Hao, who sat at the same table, was smiling and glancing at Qin Yanran from time to time. After all, she was the goddess in the hearts of all male students in school, but no one had ever seen her show any affection towards anyone.

  "Die Haozi, stop messing around. Class monitor, I'll do it right away, I'll do it right away... Please don't tell Teacher Lin, or I'm dead for sure..."

  Having been scolded by Teacher Lin for being late in the morning, if it's known that I haven't done my English homework again, I'm afraid Teacher Lin will immediately call Su Lin's home and have her parents come over.

  "Then I'll wait for you another ten minutes, Su Lin, hurry up."

  Qin Yanran just said a sentence lightly, then hugged her homework book and turned back to her seat to continue reading. It was so cold, Qin Yanran almost had this attitude towards any boy, no matter what the boy did to pursue her, she didn't move at all, nor would she say more than one word to any boy.

  "See? Linzi, I told you this method won't work. Wanting to pursue the school flower? In our Jian'an University, it's just a joke."

  "Get out! Dead Haozi, I really forgot to do my homework, hurry up and tell me what was the English composition topic yesterday?"

  "Didn't you do it? Then hurry up...... Yesterday's English composition topic was to assume that you are Li Hua, hoping to find an English pen pal through foreign teacher Peter. Please write a short letter describing the conditions of your ideal pen pal and explain why you chose such a pen pal..."

  "How come it's Li Hua again? This Li Hua is really busy..."

  When Su Lin heard the topic of this English composition, she had a headache. But she still had to write it. She could only look up words in her dictionary and search for sentence patterns while writing with difficulty. Finally, within about ten minutes, she managed to come up with an awkward English composition of ten sentences that made little sense.

  "Hey... Linzi, you said the boys in our class are really just guarding a treasure mountain, occupying the best timing and location, yet unable to get close to the beautiful pavilion and take advantage of it first. Leaving the beautiful class president unattainable..."

  Li Hao gazed at the seat in front of him, where Qin Yanran was sitting, and let out a sigh. It really had a sense of longing. Although his grades weren't great, he was eloquent and articulate, with a ready-made answer for everything.

  Su Lin heard Li Hao's words and looked back on her three years of high school, and it seemed to be true. Although Qin Yanran had been the class president for three years, actively participating in various school activities, she had contact with boys that could be said to be two or three times that of ordinary girls, not to mention those who came to confess their love in school.

  Among so many boys, Qin Yanran surprisingly didn't have one that caught her eye. Not to mention liking someone, there wasn't even one she would give a proper look at. As a result, Qin Yanran also earned the title of "Ice Beauty" as the school flower.

  "Not to mention our class, but other classes in the school have their own notable figures. For example, there's Luo Tian from the basketball team and Xiao Bawang Peng Shenda. Which one of them doesn't have a crush on our class monitor? But none of them have succeeded. Just look at our class monitor's small hands and that tender chest... if I could touch it just once, oh my... I'd be willing to lose 10 points on the college entrance exam..."

  Li Hao continued to talk nonsense, but Su Lin was amused by him: "I think it doesn't make much difference whether you score a few more or less points on the college entrance exam?"

  Although he said so, following Li Hao's gaze, Su Lin couldn't help but keep his eyes on Qin Yanran. That elegant and refined figure, because Qin Yanran was now reading English aloud, with each word coming out of her mouth, the rising and falling of her chest made Su Lin's heart beat faster, and his blood was boiling.

  "Ten minutes are up, Su Lin, have you finished writing your English composition? If not, I won't wait for you."

  When the ten minutes were up, Qin Yanran came down again, hugging a stack of English composition books in her arms.

  "I've written... I'm done..."

  Because Su Lin had been staring at Qin Yanran's chest just now, until Qin Yanran walked in front of him, so he got up with a somewhat guilty conscience, lowered his head and handed over his composition book.

  However, the moment Qin Yanran took over the composition book, Su Lin suddenly remembered the mysterious phenomenon that had been paused by himself at the school gate this morning, and he called out in his heart: "Time... pause!"

  In an instant, Su Lin suddenly discovered that the time in the entire classroom had been paused by himself, just like the situation at the school gate just now. Except for himself, everyone else was motionless and didn't move.

  "Time... has actually stopped again!"
