Chapter 61: Chapter 59: Xu Lin is the representative of the new generation? (Happy New Year)

"Holy crap! Who’s this dude? A freshman?"

"Which freshman dresses that formally?"

"Damn, he’s really handsome. Even though I’m a guy, I have to admit this dude is genuinely good-looking!"

"What’s his name? Who dares to ask for his number?"

Everyone nearby noticed Xu Lin.

As soon as Xu Lin appeared, he drew everyone’s attention, whether students or teachers.

Xu Lin was naturally good-looking.

But that alone wasn’t enough to make Xu Lin suddenly the focus of so much attention.

Because Xu Lin was always handsome, nothing particularly special.

Understand, handsome isn’t just about looking good—it’s a broad concept encompassing appearance, physique, and more complex attributes like posture, aura, expression, charisma, magnetic field, and masculine charm.

So while Xu Lin had always been handsome, it hadn’t been enough to attract a lot of attention.

But now it’s different.

With the "Dragon among Men" buff activated, Xu Lin’s whole aura completely changed.

In short, at this moment, Xu Lin was simply extraordinary.

"Is that Xu Lin?"

In the crowd, Zhao Yifei, from Finance Class 1, looked over after hearing the noise around him and spotted Xu Lin.

He saw Xu Lin’s current appearance.

Zhao Yifei was momentarily taken aback.

For context, Zhao Yifei was in the neighboring class to Xu Lin in middle school, and they were classmates in high school, meaning they had been schoolmates for six years, and were now entering the newest four years together.

So it’s no exaggeration to say that even if Xu Lin turned to ash, Zhao Yifei would recognize him.

Xu Lin was handsome, now even more so, evoking an indescribable strong feeling in him.

Zhao Yifei shook his head.

"Damn!"

"How could I even think like that? This guy’s just got a stroke of luck!"

"I, Zhao Yifei, am the truly outstanding one among the rare elite!"

Zhao Yifei shook his head vigorously, still looking down on Xu Lin in his heart, but a fleeting thought crossed his mind that at this moment, Xu Lin seemed like a true dragon among phoenixes, and Xu Lin’s demeanor made it hard for him to believe, even though he wouldn’t admit it out loud.

Xu Lin hadn’t noticed Zhao Yifei.

He was just heading over to his class.

In fact, Xu Lin didn’t know exactly where his class was, but he spotted Shang Wanjun because she stood out, being a stunning beauty, naturally standing out from the crowd.

After seeing Shang Wanjun, Xu Lin located his class; Shang Wanjun was standing over with Economics Class 1.

"Xu Lin?"

Shang Wanjun called out to him, nearly not recognizing him herself.

"Teacher, I’m here."

Xu Lin’s expression remained unchanged despite many people watching him, maintaining his composure as a naturally thick-skinned person would.

"Xu Lin, looking exceptionally handsome today, dressing so finely for the opening ceremony?"

"This suit is really impressive!"

Xie Zhengrong and Hu Donghai remarked one after another.

Xu Lin smiled calmly, "It’s the opening ceremony, it’s got to be a bit grand!"

"Tsk!"

"Just for an opening ceremony and dressed in a full suit—such a show-off!"

Liu Longsheng felt uneasy inside but didn’t show it, staying silent over there.

Seeing how handsome Xu Lin looked today, Liu Longsheng was undoubtedly uncomfortable. Besides, look at how many girls’ eyes were drawn to Xu Lin now? Liu Longsheng never imagined Xu Lin could be this handsome. Even though he didn’t want to admit it, deep down, he thought Xu Lin was extremely handsome and possessed an endless charm that made him envious, jealous, and hateful.

"Xu Lin, what are you doing wearing a suit in this hot weather?"

Rong Xiyi asked.

Xu Lin, with a bit of casualness, replied, "Am I handsome?"

Rong Xiyi scoffed, "All show and no substance!"

But after saying that, she added, "Just kidding, you’re indeed very handsome!"

Rong Xiyi’s beautiful eyes sparkled.

"I told you last night, I’m the new student representative today, I have to go up and speak later."

Xu Lin smiled casually.

"Xu Lin, go wait behind the podium, it’s your turn after the principal finishes speaking,"

Shang Wanjun reminded him at this moment.

"Alright!"

Xu Lin turned back to everyone and said, "Folks, I’m heading up now, wish me luck!"

"Huh? Xu Lin, you’re the new student representative?"

Rong Xiyi was momentarily surprised, and so were the others.

Being a new student representative wasn’t uncommon; many schools did this, especially top universities like Kyoto University and Jiangdu University, where speeches by new student representatives could even make the news or hot topics, stirring discussion among some media and internet users.

Everyone was surprised to hear Xu Lin say he was the new student representative, not expecting the representative to be among them.

"Xu Lin, how high was your college entrance exam score to be this impressive?"

"Wow, Xu Lin must have been top-notch in high school!"

"Handsome and smart, that’s impressive!"

Everyone immediately associated Xu Lin with high academic performance, as it was a commonly held belief that the new student representative was usually the one with the best grades or, for example, someone who had achieved something exceptional in high school competitions.

Shang Wanjun’s beautiful eyes were on Xu Lin. She actually checked all the students’ grades in the class, and Xu Lin’s grades were the lowest.

While everyone came from different provinces and cities, generally speaking, everyone’s college entrance exam scores comprised more than eighty percent of the total score. For example, in regions with a total score of 750, candidates admitted to Finance University had scores of over six hundred.

But Xu Lin was an exception. In provinces where the total score was 750, Xu Lin’s score was astonishingly only 552?

Shang Wanjun was momentarily perplexed—what was going on? Upon further research, she found that some provinces didn’t fill all spots during Finance University’s admissions, allowing some to slip through the gaps, including Xu Lin. But he wasn’t the only one; several others were admitted to other majors at Finance University. Later, when filling quotas, the scores started at over six hundred.

It’s worth noting that even among those who slipped through, even with several doing so, Xu Lin was the one with the lowest score.

At this point, Xu Lin said, "My score is pretty irrational, better not talk about it."

Shang Wanjun urged, "Aren’t you going up?"

"Okay."

Xu Lin’s gaze fell on Shang Wanjun, and he smiled, "Teacher, you really look beautiful today!"

Today, Shang Wanjun wore a red dress, a vibrant color that’s not easy for most people to pull off. But on Shang Wanjun, it looked elegant and not at all gaudy.

Xu Lin had noticed Shang Wanjun at first glance today partly because of her dress.

The hem of that red dress reached just below her knees, revealing Shang Wanjun’s exquisitely fair calves, along with the white high heels on her feet.

At this moment, Shang Wanjun exuded elegance, intelligence, and a hint of coolness, not to mention a distinctive scholarly flair.

Shang Wanjun slightly glared at him, "Aren’t you going quickly?"

"Okay."

Xu Lin waved his hand, bid farewell to everyone, and headed to the back of the podium.

"Teacher, why is Xu Lin the new student representative?"

Rong Xiyi asked then, as Xu Lin hadn’t explained clearly before. Not just her, others were also curious.

Shang Wanjun said, "He acted bravely during the summer, and the school leadership thought he set a good example, very exemplary, so he was chosen to speak as the new student representative."

As she talked, Shang Wanjun found the related short video and shared it in the group.

"Oh!"

"Is this Xu Lin?"

Rong Xiyi was surprised, watching the video of Xu Lin’s heroic act of saving a pregnant driver and ensuring the safety of both mother and child despite the life-threatening circumstances.

Watching the video, everyone was astonished; some had seen the hot topic before but had glanced over it, not realizing it was Xu Lin, and now they were classmates with him.
