The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 224

Chapter 224

He was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth, with a gentle and elegant appearance, and a smile at the corner of his mouth that was as refreshing as a spring breeze. He stopped in front of the two, "Han junior, you're up early." Then, he turned to Ling Chunann, his eyes brightening, "And who might this be?"

"Good to see you, Senior Lin." Han Chen was somewhat restrained, "This is a new junior from the junior third grade who just transferred here."

"Hello, Senior. I'm Xie Ziyi." Ling Chunann extended his hand.

"Hello, Yuan Junrui."

Han Chen glanced at their handshake, feeling a bit uncomfortable; he had not had the chance to shake hands with Ling Chunann yet.

Ling Chunann was the first to retract his hand, and 098 quickly asked, "Host, did you notice anything unusual?" If this person was indeed the murderer of the little female ghost, he would surely have some resentment about him, but it found nothing.

In the original story, Yuan Junrui was just a normal male god-level character, who went off to college in another city not long after the story began, so there wasn't much description about him, nor any negative portrayals. However, the little female ghost did appear early in the story and was dealt with by the protagonist, who obtained a golden finger, which might be why this storyline wasn't developed further.

"Clean." Ling Chunann replied, then tapped on the phone in his pocket. The highly agitated little female ghost finally calmed down, though still unwillingly shivered before being suppressed by Ling Chunann.

The three headed to school together. In front of Yuan Junrui, Han Chen almost had no presence, with Yuan Junrui leading the conversation. However, he was very accommodating and never made others feel left out.

Han Chen clearly had a great deal of respect for this senior from the third grade but became visibly less friendly after being overshadowed in the conversation multiple times and failing to engage Ling Chunann in conversation.

Just as they entered the school gate, Han Chen eagerly said goodbye to Yuan Junrui, "Senior Yuan, I'll take Xie junior to register, you can go ahead if you're busy."

Yuan Junrui's smile remained gentle, "I'm not in a hurry. It's the first day for the junior at school, and as a senior, it's my responsibility to show you around."

Han Chen's smile stiffened.

Ling Chunann glanced at the two, feeling somewhat embarrassed, "There's no need to trouble both seniors. My uncle already called the teacher, and I've been to the school before; I can find my way."

"It's no trouble; I'll walk you to the teaching building." Both expressed their willingness.

Naturally, the result was the three of them going together.

098 asked, "Host, were you trying to refuse or did you want them to come with you?" That refusal was rather weak.

As a transfer student, Ling Chunann did not go to the classroom first but went to the head teacher's office in the administrative building. Han Chen and Yuan Junrui, feeling it inappropriate to follow, said they would wait downstairs. Ling Chunann politely insisted, and then made his way up, feeling justified in leaving them to wait.

In office 304 of the administrative building, several teachers were organizing student files. A middle-aged female teacher in a uniform pushed up her glasses and seemed to ask casually, "Teacher Chen, I heard your class is getting a transfer student this term. How are his grades? Are you confident about having the best class this term?"

Teacher Chen, who was flipping through the files, stiffened for a moment, then closed the file folder, "Teacher Lan, since this student has transferred to our class six, he naturally has his strengths. You don't need to worry about that."

The female teacher, not satisfied with being brushed off, raised her voice a bit, "But I heard this student dropped out in his first year and is a troublemaker who has done all sorts of evil deeds. I even had a friend whose son was beaten by him and hospitalized; the blood was... tsk tsk."

"Teacher Lan, you young ladies might not understand, but this type of student is a lost cause in any school. Our class six is one of the school's key classes, and I'm genuinely worried about those children. This term is the most important one; if something happens..."

Teacher Chen slammed the file folder on the table, "Enough!" She turned to the teacher who seemed startled by her sudden outburst, "Teacher Lan, regardless, this student is now in my class six, and he is my student. I have the duty and responsibility to teach him well. As for his past, I'm not concerned. Besides, he is just a child after all. Moreover, you are a teacher; you have no

right to label any child as a failure."

Not expecting the usually gentle Teacher Chen to burst out, the other teachers in the office all focused their attention on the two. Teacher Lan, feeling slighted, tried to argue further when there was a knock on the door.

Teacher Chen took a deep breath and without looking up said, "Come in."

Everyone's gaze turned towards the door, filled with admiration.

Besides the head teacher of class six, most of the office's teachers had over a decade of teaching experience. They had seen their share of attractive students, but none as striking as the one before them.

Ling Chunann, pretending not to notice the stares, walked towards Teacher Chen after hearing the invitation to enter, "Hello, teacher. I'm Xie Ziyi."

Teacher Chen, around twenty-four or twenty-five, a fashionable young woman with large wavy curls and light makeup, appeared somewhat stern due to the earlier argument. Seeing Ling Chunann, she was a bit surprised, "Hello, Xie Ziyi student. My name is Chen Yue, and I'll be your head teacher from now on."

"Hello, Teacher Chen."

"If you're joining our class, there are some things I need to inform you about." Teacher Chen's attitude was good but not overly warm, just the normal way a teacher would treat a student.

Ling Chunann nodded, "Okay."

During the conversation between Ling Chunann and Chen Yue, the other teachers glanced at Ling Chunann before turning their attention to Teacher Lan, clearly thinking she had been slandering him earlier. This child didn't seem at all like the bad student she described.

Teacher Lan, still in shock, had heard that Xie Ziyi was a delinquent. How could he look so different from the rumors? Feeling the undisguised stares of the others, she gathered her composure, picked up her teaching materials with slightly trembling hands, and left the office.

Ling Chunann watched the teacher's hasty retreat, then continued to chat with Chen Yue before heading to the classroom together.

098 was sure its host had intentionally waited for Chen Yue to finish speaking before knocking. He had been standing outside for quite a while already, but seeing the person who had been speaking ill behind others' backs looking so embarrassed was truly amusing.

After the introduction, Ling Chunann received a warm welcome from his new classmates. Although many of the boys calmed down upon realizing he was male, many still approached him for his contact information.

After about ten minutes of interaction and distributing textbooks, Ling Chunann leisurely left the teaching building, speaking a few words to the little female ghost along the way. Having been ignored for a while, the little female ghost had completely calmed down. Remembering her promise never to harm anyone again, and recalling her struggle to go out and kill Yuan Junrui, she felt a bit scared, "Sir, I'm sorry, I was too excited earlier. Are you angry?"

"No," Ling Chunann said. "Did you remember everything or just a part?"

"Uh, just that person," the little female ghost said in a pitiful tone.

Exiting the teaching building, Yuan Junrui, who had been waiting for a long time, approached. Despite waiting for nearly two hours, his expression showed no impatience, demonstrating his considerable patience.

"Senior Yuan, sorry to keep you waiting." Ling Chunann looked around, "Where's Senior Han Chen?"

"He had to leave early," Yuan Junrui answered with a smile, his gaze sincere. "Junior, considering I've waited so long for you, would you do me the honor of allowing me to treat you to a meal?"

098 hurriedly warned, "Host, you mustn't go! I just checked; several of his previous girlfriends have disappeared."

However, Ling Chunann seldom heeded its advice, so 098 anticipated his affirmative response.

"Sure..." Just as he was about to agree, Ling Chunann suddenly caught sight of a car stopping right at the school gate, his expression showing slight regret, "I'm sorry, maybe next time. Next time I'll treat you, Senior. My family has come to pick me up, I have to go now."

Yuan Junrui also looked somewhat disappointed, "Alright, next time then."

098 felt its tender heart severely wounded. Although it had long known it couldn't compare to men in its host's heart, the disparity in treatment didn't have to be so blatant.

Sensing 098's "little wife" mentality, Ling Chunann couldn't help but laugh, "098, you're really cute."

"Ah?" 098, unaccustomed to being praised out of the blue, was a bit disoriented, "Host, what happened?"

"Nothing, just thought you were cute," Ling Chunann answered with a smile.

Although unsure what had happened, 098 felt a bit happy to be praised and instantly put aside its displeasure until much later, when it finally realized that being

called cute by its host didn't differ much from being called silly.

As they approached the school gate, Tang Shouxu, who had just alighted from the car, approached them. He patted Ling Chunann's head, "Sweetheart, how did it go? Did the registration go smoothly?"

"Yes," Ling Chunann smiled at Tang Shouxu, "This is a senior I just met."

Yuan Junrui extended his hand, "Nice to meet you, my name is Yuan Junrui."

Tang Shouxu glanced at him but didn't intend to shake hands, merely nodding, "Hello."
