Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Got the Exchange Student Spot?

Soon, Shi Yaoguang knew the reason why she was attracting so much attention.

"Yaoguang, Yaoguang, how did you manage to snag the exchange student?"

Shi Yaoguang had just arrived at the classroom door when an excited Mu Tiantian took her arm.

Hearing her words, Shi Yaoguang was somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean ’snag the exchange student’?"

At this, Mu Tiantian’s eyes widened in surprise, "You don’t know?"

Shi Yaoguang honestly shook her head.

Mu Tiantian seemed to think of something and suddenly smiled suggestively, "Yaoguang, did you stay up very late last night?"

Shi Yaoguang showed a hint of surprise on her face, "How can you tell?"

Although she hadn’t slept all night, she felt her spirits were quite good. How could Mu Tiantian tell she had been up all night?

While she was still puzzled, Mu Tiantian covered her mouth and chuckled, her smile full of teasing, "Oh~ I get it now, last night you really—"

"Hehehe~"

Listening to her ribald laughter with double meaning, Shi Yaoguang was resigned, "There was nothing last night; don’t overthink it."

"Rest assured, rest assured, I have a very tight lip." She confidently stood up tall, "I will absolutely not tell others about you last night, hehehehehehe..."

"Shut up."

Shi Yaoguang gave her a look, "Don’t talk nonsense."

Mu Tiantian obediently covered her mouth, shook her head, and mumbled vaguely, "Don’t worry, don’t worry, I won’t babble nonsense!"

After a few good-natured jests between them, Shi Yaoguang finally asked Mu Tiantian what her earlier words meant, "What’s this about an exchange student?"

At this, Mu Tiantian became excited again, "Didn’t an exchange student come to our school? So many teachers wanted to pull Su Yike into their class, including the Rocket Class. But guess what happened?"

Shi Yaoguang raised her eyebrows, "He chose our class?"

"Exactly!" She snapped her fingers, excitedly saying, "Do you know what? When the Rocket Class teacher asked him why he chose the special interest class, he actually said he came to the special interest class all because of you!"

"Because of me?" Shi Yaoguang showed a trace of bewilderment in her eyes.

This Su Yike, she had never even met him. Why would he come to the special interest class for her?

"He didn’t explain the specifics, but in any case, he came for you."

Talking about it, Mu Tiantian sighed in amazement, "Su Yike is a big deal at his own school too, I wonder what kind of expression Shen Huan will have when he sees him, oh... I’m so looking forward to it."

Hearing her barely concealed excitement, Shi Yaoguang was somewhat helpless, "You’re not afraid of getting beaten up for this?"

"What’s there to be afraid of?" Mu Tiantian hummed with pride, "I used to be afraid of him because he was the school tyrant! But now it’s different."

"How is it different?"

"Shen Huan is so obedient around you, and you and I are friends! We’re friends, even if only for your sake, he wouldn’t dare bully me."

Mu Tiantian declared this confidently.

Shi Yaoguang clicked her tongue lightly, "That’s not how you act when he’s around."

Mu Tiantian touched her nose and grunted, "Whether he’s around or not, of course, I can’t act the same."

"Cough cough, never mind me." Fearing that Shi Yaoguang would mock her, Mu Tiantian quickly changed the subject, "Yaoguang, what do you think Su Yike is trying to say? He couldn’t possibly have taken a fancy to you, could he?"

Her eyes sparkled with the fire of gossip, "If he openly competes with Shen Huan, I don’t even know who to side with."

Shi Yaoguang: "???"

In a very speechless tone, she asked, "Why would he openly compete with Shen Huan?"

"It’s a sure thing," Mu Tiantian declared confidently, "I’ve seen Shen Huan’s possessiveness over you, and Su Yike is coming on strong too. He came to our nothing-special special interest class all for you; he definitely won’t be content just being a side character."

"When they start fighting... won’t I have a great show to watch?"

Shi Yaoguang’s mouth twitched, "Your imagination is too wild."

"Now that’s what I don’t like to hear. How can this be too wild an imagination? What I’m saying is all true!" Mu Tiantian narrowed her eyes and gave a mischievous smile, "With my seasoned love battlefield insight, they are bound to clash like thunder and fire!"

Thunder and fire...

Hook up lightning with a cloudburst?

Shi Yaoguang held her forehead, feeling that Shen Huan and Su Yike really had created a storm to match her fantasies.

Chatting, they arrived at the classroom.

Shen Huan was already slumped over at his desk early on, with a book propped up in front of him, looking utterly "diligent and studious."

However... it was a fact that Shen Huan hadn’t skipped any classes since meeting Shi Yaoguang.

For this reason, combined with the critical vote Shen Huan had cast for Shi Yaoguang last time, many were speculating whether Shen Huan was actually harboring a secret crush on Shi Yaoguang.

Besides, a small group was guessing if Shi Yaoguang was secretly married.

The last time Quan Jinbei came to school, Shi Yaoguang hadn’t tried to hide it at all.

As a result, someone had even started a thread in the forum to discuss this matter.

And that naturally gave rise to a topic about a love triangle.

As part of it, there were three pairings.

Shi Yaoguang x Shen Huan.

Shi Yaoguang x Su Yike.

Shi Yaoguang x Quan Jinbei.

Of course, the third one was about Shi Yaoguang and her secret husband.

Afterward, her three ships even went viral beyond their circle.

Of course, those were future developments.

For the moment, Shi Yaoguang didn’t even know who Su Yike was.

The first class began, and the homeroom teacher Ruan Yujiao personally brought the fresh-faced young man to the class.

Seeing him, Shi Yaoguang instantly understood.

Shen Huan naturally saw him too, and even Mu Tiantian had a realization.

The last time Shi Yaoguang had gone to play the piano in the music room, she had encountered Su Yike there.

Mu Tiantian’s enthusiasm did not wane at the thought; rather, it intensified.

Isn’t love all about taking an interest to begin with?

Su Yike was definitely an admirer of Shi Yaoguang.

With admiration in place, was love far behind?

Mu Tiantian thought, rubbing her hands together excitedly.

"Why don’t you introduce yourself to everyone..."

After Ruan Yujiao spoke to Su Yike, he bowed to everyone, "Hello, my name is Su Yike, and I’m pleased to meet you all."

Ruan Yujiao waited, and seeing he didn’t continue his introduction, she was momentarily stunned, "Is that all for your self-introduction?"

Su Yike shyly nodded.

Ruan Yujiao nodded her head, swept her gaze across the available seats in the class, then pointed to a seat next to Gao Wenlan, "You sit there."

But Su Yike hesitated and made a request, "Can I sit over here?"

He was referring to the seat diagonally in front of Shi Yaoguang.

Ruan Yujiao hesitated.

Su Yike looked at her with pleading eyes, "Teacher Ruan, please."

Ruan Yujiao, somewhat softened by his gaze, agreed after asking the opinions of the student currently sitting there.

And so, Su Yike took the seat diagonally in front of Shi Yaoguang.

"Hello, I’m Su Yike."

He turned around, greeting Shi Yaoguang earnestly.
