Zhang Lei smiled faintly, "Due to time constraints, from now on, students can just stand up at their seats to introduce themselves, try not to be too long! The girl in the purple clothes, you go first!" "Hello teacher! Hello everyone! My name is..." After all the students willing to introduce themselves had stood up, Zhang Lei asked the remaining students to start from the first desk by the window and introduce themselves one by one going back along the row. Skipping two who had already introduced themselves, it quickly came to the last row of the first column. Under the gaze of everyone, Zhen Yu stood up and looked directly into the eyes of the homeroom teacher, saying: "Hello everyone! I am Zhen Yu." Zhang Lei nodded slightly, looking forward to what Zhen Yu would say next. He knew the big name of the top scorer in the whole city! And it wasn’t just him who knew; most of the classmates at this moment probably knew too! If there were a few who didn’t know, they would probably be like Shen Qi, who came from a small town under the county due to lack of information caused by the summer rainstorm. As soon as Zhen Yu saw Zhang Lei nodding to acknowledge he had heard her, she immediately sat down. Everyone in the class except Zhen Yu, including Zhang Lei, was stunned by her move! This self-introduction... Except for a name, she didn’t say anything else! Zhang Lei gave an embarrassed but polite smile, "Ahem! Well, Student Zhen Yu!" Zhen Yu immediately stood up and answered, "Present!" "Sit! You sit first!" Zhang Lei quickly pacified Zhen Yu, because he didn’t intend to call her name! He just wanted to help her complete her self-introduction. "Student Zhen Yu is our top scorer in Qi City for this year’s middle school exams! Additionally, she scored full marks in three subjects during the exams! Particularly worth mentioning is her English! She won the third prize at the national level for the Middle School Students Foreign Language Speech Competition this year! I hope everyone can take her as an example and study hard every day!" After placing the new books in the desk slots, the freshmen of First High School Class One were led by homeroom teacher Zhang Lei to the school playground. By the time they arrived, several classes were already lined up, all from freshman year! Homeroom teachers were adjusting the students’ positions based on their height. Judging visually, Zhen Yu knew she was not the tallest girl in her class. However, her height was also not considered short, so she directly went and stood towards the back of the girls’ lineup. Coincidentally! The positions in front of and behind her, including her row, were all taken by her roommates! Zhang Lei made only minor adjustments before instructing everyone to remember their positions and then dismissed them on the spot, meeting again in five minutes. Many people ran off to the bathroom. Others slowly left their positions, probably to chat with friends they knew. Zhen Yu didn’t move from her spot, instead, she turned her head to look at the only neighboring class team on her left. Her intuition told her that it should be Class Two! Less than a minute later, the homeroom teacher of the other class also dismissed them. After the crowd had mostly dispersed, Zhen Yu indeed saw Han Mingyue standing at the back of the boys’ lineup. The two exchanged smiles, but neither approached the other. Two people wearing the same uniform silently assessed each other from a distance, understanding each other without words. After the lively march for athletes started playing, the junior and senior year students quickly swarmed out from the teaching buildings! They skillfully found their places and lined up quickly, filling up the previously half-empty playground. As the music from the speakers stopped, the school leaders walked in a long line onto the podium, then one by one took their seats. "Respected leaders, teachers, and dear students, good morning everyone! Today, we..." First, the principal spoke, followed by several leaders taking turns until the female host said, "Now, let’s invite a representative of the old students to speak," that the drowsy Zhen Yu finally concentrated and looked towards the stage! Since it was the old students speaking first, it definitely would be the new students’ turn soon! Thus, she needed to keep a close eye on when they would finish! Zhen Yu, standing far away, could only tell from the hairstyle that the old student representative who walked onto the stage was a male! As for his facial features, they were completely indiscernible from her position. But as soon as he started speaking, the sound from the broadcast was quite pleasant. He confidently began his speech on the stage, and the girls around Zhen Yu started to whisper as well. "He’s Ling Yang, the school heartthrob of First High School! He’s really handsome!" Niu Lili, standing right behind Zhen Yu, exclaimed excitedly like a flower fanatic! Ling Yang? That’s a quite unique name! Zhen Yu silently mused to herself. Another girl standing with Niu Lili immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes! He’s really handsome! Just a pity he’s already a senior this year! Next year he’ll graduate!" At this moment, Zhen Yu really wanted to roll her eyes, but she restrained herself. She, standing in a forward position, couldn’t see Ling Yang’s face clearly, while those two behind her kept calling him handsome; was it... mainly about the aura? While the girls were whispering, homeroom teacher Zhang Lei also walked to the end of the lineup. He softly called out, "Zhen Yu, it’s almost your turn! Head over to the podium now!" Zhen Yu immediately nodded, then left the lineup and headed towards the direction of the podium. As Zhen Yu just neared the front side of the podium, the female host on the stage vigorously waved in her direction! This made Zhen Yu, who initially intended to ascend via the side stairs, pause. After confirming eye contact, she knew she was the one being summoned! Thus, Zhen Yu ran towards the front of the podium. While running she thought, why the sudden rush? Not even giving her time to circle around to the stage? Fortunately, although the platform was a bit high, she wasn’t unable to get onto it! It was okay for her to go up from the front! After a sprint and a leap, Zhen Yu directly jumped onto the corner of the podium from the front. The female host, who was bending down to talk to Zhen Yu, was taken aback. "How did you come up from here?!" "Weren’t you calling me?" Zhen Yu replied instantly. "...I, I just wanted to tell you! After you get on stage, they will first present the school’s scholarship! I didn’t mean for you to come up this way!" The female host was almost speechless to the heavens, where did she know there would be a girl who would just leap onto the stage without saying another word? Truly a rarity in her life... "Cough, cough." Zhen Yu coughed a little to cover up her embarrassment, "I’m already up here! Let’s just proceed this way!" What else could she do! The hostess secretly rolled her eyes, and pulled Zhen Yu aside to a corner to instruct her on the ceremony proceedings.
