"I disagree!"
At that exact moment, everyone in the room instantly turned their eyes toward the source of the voice and saw Zhao Yunfei standing there.
His classmates stared at him with all kinds of expressions—curiosity, confusion, shock, and even a few mocking looks in their eyes.
Not to mention his friends in class.
Yaoyao glared at Zhao Yunfei with a gaze that was anything but friendly, as if the anger inside her could explode at any second.
Thankfully, Su Wanqing, who was sitting beside her, quickly held the girl back before she completely lost control.
As for Su Wanqing herself…
Zhao Yunfei could clearly see the disgust on her face.
She wasn't even trying to hide it.
That cold stare pierced straight into him, making his chest feel even tighter.
Seeing all of that, Zhao Yunfei started to feel a little regret for shouting his objection so loudly just now.
He didn't even understand why he had suddenly felt the urge to say something like that.
It was as if his mouth had moved faster than his brain.
But since it had already happened, since the arrow had already left the bow, Zhao Yunfei could only grit his teeth and force himself to keep going.
"Student Zhao, is there a problem with this?"
The teacher's voice immediately snapped everyone out of their thoughts—including Zhao Yunfei—and brought the situation back to reality.
Zhao Yunfei swallowed hard. His throat felt dry, and cold sweat had already started to coat his palms.
Under the gaze of the entire class, his mind felt almost blank.
But when his eyes unconsciously flicked toward Lu Jingchen, who was standing calmly near the podium, the jealousy in his heart surged again.
"I… I just feel that seat isn't quite suitable," Zhao Yunfei said, his voice a little hoarse.
The female teacher frowned.
"Not suitable? What do you mean?"
Zhao Yunfei clenched his fists tightly.
"Su Wanqing usually likes things quiet. I think it would be better if the transfer student sits in front first so he can adapt to the class more easily."
The moment those words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the classroom turned strange.
Some students exchanged glances.
"What kind of excuse is that…"
"It's so obvious he just doesn't want Lu Jingchen sitting next to Su Wanqing."
"Who does he think he is, deciding other people's seats for them?"
Zhao Yunfei's face instantly paled when he heard the whispers.
The female teacher also looked like she was starting to lose patience.
"Student Zhao, seating arrangements are not your concern. Besides, Su Wanqing herself hasn't said anything."
After saying that, the teacher turned to Su Wanqing.
"Wanqing, do you mind if Lu Jingchen sits next to you?"
All eyes immediately focused on the beautiful girl.
Su Wanqing stayed silent for a moment.
She glanced briefly at the tense-looking Zhao Yunfei, then at Lu Jingchen, who stood there calmly with a neutral expression.
For some reason, compared to Zhao Yunfei who had suddenly caused a scene for no reason, the new transfer student looked far more pleasant to the eye.
In the end, she answered in a soft but clear voice.
"I don't mind."
That simple sentence instantly froze Zhao Yunfei's face.
His hands, hanging at his sides, clenched even tighter.
Meanwhile, Yaoyao smiled in satisfaction.
"Hear that? Even Wanqing herself has no problem with it. So stop meddling where you don't belong."
A few of the boys in the back chuckled softly.
"So embarrassing…"
"He acted like a possessive boyfriend even though they're not even dating."
"Does he think Su Wanqing belongs to him?"
Hearing all the mockery, Zhao Yunfei's face turned red all the way to his ears.
He wanted to argue back, but his mouth felt heavy.
In the end, he could only lower his head and sit back down stiffly.
His gaze unconsciously drifted toward Lu Jingchen.
In his eyes, the handsome new student was still standing there with a calm expression, as if from beginning to end he had never once seen Zhao Yunfei as a threat.
The feeling of being looked down on made Zhao Yunfei's chest burn even hotter.
Meanwhile, Lu Jingchen only smiled faintly in his heart.
He then walked casually toward the empty seat beside Su Wanqing.
[ Ding! ]
[ Su Wanqing's favor toward the Host +5 ]
[ Zhao Yunfei's hatred toward the Host +10 ]
[ Because the Host has successfully influenced the protagonist's emotions for the first time, the Host receives 20 Villain Points. ]
Hearing the system's voice in his head, the corner of Lu Jingchen's lips curved up slightly.
It looked like his first day at this school was going to be a lot more fun than he had imagined.
Under the eyes of many people, Lu Jingchen walked casually toward the empty seat beside Su Wanqing.
His movements were calm and composed, as if all the attention focused on him was nothing worth caring about.
But as he passed Zhao Yunfei, he could clearly feel the gaze full of hatred from the boy stabbing into his back.
Lu Jingchen only smiled a little inside.
'Wow, this kid gets jealous so fast.'
He then slowly pulled out the chair and sat down right next to Su Wanqing.
The moment the distance between them closed, Su Wanqing could smell the faint scent coming from Lu Jingchen's body.
A clean, fresh aroma that was hard to describe.
For some reason, it made her heart beat a little faster.
That strange feeling made her unconsciously furrow her delicate brows.
At the same time, Lu Jingchen turned to look at her.
A faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Student Su, are you really okay with me sitting here?"
Su Wanqing paused for a moment before finally nodding slowly.
"Yes, I don't mind."
"But it looks like your little boyfriend isn't too happy about it," Lu Jingchen said casually while glancing toward Zhao Yunfei, who was sitting behind Yaoyao's desk.
"Do you want to switch seats?"
Hearing that, Zhao Yunfei's eyes widened slightly.
For a second, a spark of hope appeared on his face.
But that hope was crushed in the next instant.
"No need," Su Wanqing answered in a cold voice.
"He's not my boyfriend."
The sentence sounded simple.
But to Zhao Yunfei, it felt like a knife stabbing straight into his chest.
His face turned deathly pale.
His gaze went blank, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
He no longer even heard the chatter of his classmates around him.
In his eyes, there was only Lu Jingchen's back as he sat beside Su Wanqing.
For the first time in his life, Zhao Yunfei truly hated someone just from seeing his face.
