Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

The Ji family in the imperial capital was a wealthy family among wealthy families. Not only did the Ji family control the economic lifeline of the entire imperial capital, but its tentacles also extended to various fields such as politics, military and academia. The Ji family thrived in various circles and their reputation spread far and wide.

The two words "Ji Family" are heavy, carrying endless wealth and supreme power. It is like a towering mountain, which makes countless people look up and climb. Therefore, people like Xu Wenqing who are eager to curry favor with the Ji Family are countless in the imperial capital.

Xu Wenqing disliked Hua Chaochao the first time she saw her.

Before coming to Baicheng No. 1 Middle School, she was very confident about her appearance and believed that it would be no problem for her to win over Ji Xingyuan with her looks. But now Hua Chaochao has appeared, whose appearance, temperament and figure are better than hers. This is undoubtedly her biggest rival on this trip.

Xu Wenqing thought gloomily that perhaps she had to find a way to get Hua Chaochao to leave Class 8 of Senior .

Hua Chaochao didn’t know what Xu Wenqing was planning. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care. She wasn’t someone who would be fooled by a paper man.

Just as Hua Chaochao and Xu Wenqing were expressing friendship to each other, Hong Lishu fell silent looking at their faces.

Each one is more beautiful than the other. Are they trying to prove the saying that 'good-looking people in Class 8 are not very smart'?

As the class teacher, Hong Lishu naturally knew about the previous academic performance of the two transfer students in advance. Xu Wenqing was better. Although she was not as good as the experimental class, she was at the top of the ordinary class. As for Hua Chaochao... her performance could be simply summarized in one idiom - terrible.

No subject scored more than 30 points.

It's not that she is without merits. Others are more or less biased in certain subjects, but she is not biased at all. She is evenly matched in all six subjects.

Hong Lishu sighed silently in her heart and encouraged herself: It's okay, as long as the child can grow up happily, his or her grades are not that important.

After encouraging herself, Hong Lishu said, "It's almost time. I'll take you to the classroom."

……

Hua Chaochao and Xu Wenqing followed Hong Lishu on the left and right and walked into Class 8 of Grade .

When I first entered the classroom, no one spoke for about ten seconds. Everyone was staring at the two people on the podium.

Afterwards, someone said "Oh my god" first, and it was like the seal was broken, and everyone reacted.

"It's Xu Wenqing! I've seen the TV series she starred in!"

"The one on the left is so pretty, and looks so gentle."

"I finally understand why they transferred to our class. With such good looks, where else can they go if not ours?!"

"It's really amazing..."

The students were so excited that they forgot to control their voices when talking. In such a situation, no matter how good their sleep quality was, they could not fall asleep.

Yi Mu, who was woken up, slowly sat up, put his hands in his pockets, raised his drooping eyelids slightly, glanced at the podium and then looked away, his expression as indifferent as an outsider, but he was indeed a student of Class 8.

Hong Lishu did not stop the students from making noise immediately. Instead, she picked up the wooden triangle on the podium and knocked it after a while. "Okay, everyone, be quiet. Now please let the two new students introduce themselves."

Hua Chaochao was about to speak when Xu Wenqing spoke first: "Hello everyone, I'm Xu Wenqing, from the imperial capital. I like performing, singing and dancing. I hope you can treat me as an ordinary person, and study together in the next six months and become good friends."

As soon as he finished speaking, many male students in the class whistled, "No problem, whatever Xu Mingxing says is what it is!"

Hearing the whistle, a trace of disgust flashed across Xu Wenqing's eyes. It was very fast, but it was still caught by Hua Xi who was sitting at the back of the classroom.

Hua Xi leaned back in her chair casually, glanced at Xu Wenqing, then turned and looked meaningfully at Ji Xingyuan who was chatting with her deskmate. If she guessed correctly, Ji Xingyuan was the reason why this female star transferred from the imperial capital.

The fact that Ji Xingyuan, the grandson of the Ji family in the imperial capital, is studying in Baicheng is known to very few people, no more than a handful of them in total, so who revealed this to Xu Wenqing... Hua Xi never meddles in other people's business, and this is not a problem she should worry about. Matters within the Ji family should be resolved internally by them.

Compared with Xu Wenqing, Hua Chaochao's self-introduction seems much simpler, with only a short sentence -

"Hello everyone, my name is Hua Chaochao, and I'm very happy to be your classmate."

Although it was brief, everyone applauded enthusiastically and shouted, "Welcome two beauties!"

The applause continued until Hong Lishu knocked on the table with her set square again. "Now that we have met the two new students, please study quietly. Class representatives of each subject should collect and hand in the winter vacation homework before school is dismissed at noon."

Although Hong Lishu is usually amiable, as a teacher, she is strict when necessary. The school has made her the head teacher of Class 8, so she is responsible for every student in the class and urges them to study.

As soon as the words fell, a chorus of “ahs” was heard.

Hong Lishu turned a deaf ear to the screams. She glanced around the audience and said to the two people standing next to her, "There are three empty seats in the class now. You can choose one and sit down. If you are not satisfied, we can adjust it later."

Hua Chaochao and Xu Wenqing nodded: "Okay, teacher."

The layout of the classroom is that two tables are placed side by side, divided into four groups, each with five rows, for a total of forty sets of tables and chairs.

There were thirty-eight students in Class Eight last semester, but this semester Xu Lin transferred out and Hua Chaochao and Xu Wenqing transferred in. With one minus and two plus, the number of students in Class Eight increased by one, becoming thirty-nine.

The three empty seats that Hong Lishu referred to were on the left side of the third row of the second group, which was Xu Lin's previous seat. The remaining two were on the right side of Hua Xi in the fifth row of the second group and on the left side of Yi Mu in the fifth row of the fourth group.

Hua Xi and Yi Mu did not sit at the same table. Due to their personalities, they preferred to sit alone in a row rather than have someone next to them. Hong Lishu followed their wishes and let them sit by themselves since there were plenty of tables and chairs anyway.

But it's not possible now. If there is one more student, it means one of them will have a new deskmate. Otherwise, if there are one or two more single seats, it will destroy the overall beauty of the arrangement of tables and chairs in the classroom, which looks mismatched and disunited. Hong Lishu doesn't want this to happen. If possible, she hopes Hua Xi or Yi Mu can be flexible and accept the new deskmate.

After Xu Wenqing stepped down from the podium, she walked straight to the last row of the second group, where Hua Xi sat. She smiled and asked, "Excuse me, can I sit here?"

In fact, Xu Wenqing was attracted by Hua Xi soon after she entered the classroom. It was not because Hua Xi was sitting behind Ji Xingyuan, but because of her. When everyone else in the class saw her, they showed more or less surprise, but she was the only one with a blank expression, so indifferent as if she didn't take her seriously.

This made Xu Wenqing, who always thought highly of herself, feel provoked. She hated people looking at her like that. Besides, she didn't like the way this person looked. Just like Hua Chaochao, she felt deeply threatened. So this person couldn't stay either...
