However, Wen Xin didn’t want to expose her tactics. She would never admit to the things she had done in the past and long ago, so she obediently replied with a simple “Okay.”

From an unnoticed angle, a pair of eyes observed all of Wen Xin’s subtle movements, and his heart started racing uncontrollably.

After Diwu Qixian finished introducing herself, it was Wen Xin’s turn to introduce herself.

When it was her turn, Wen Xin politely put her phone on the table and said in a cool voice, “I’m Wen Xin. I don’t have a good temper, so I hope you’ll all take care of me.”

“Freshman King, your self-introduction is too simple! Say more!” The class monitor knew everyone was very interested in Wen Xin’s identity, especially the online rumors. They really wanted to know if Wen Xin was the rumored genius composer.

“What? Do you need me to recite my ID number for you?” Wen Xin joked.

She had completely relaxed, casually crossing her legs and leaning back in her chair, looking entirely nonchalant and like a true big boss.

“No… no need. You’re a big shot. How could we commoners demand to knnow your ID number?”

Seeing Wen Xin joke with them, the class monitor followed her lead, and everyone laughed out loud.

The class monitor’s ordering skills were impressive, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal. People began transferring money in the group chat to cover the dinner expenses.

Just then, a large transfer amount appeared in the group chat. The class monitor, surprised, looked up from his phone at Wen Xin.

“Wen Xin, this transfer…”

“Today’s meal is on me. From now on, I’ll rely on you all to take care of me!”

Wen Xin smiled gently at everyone. She liked this class; there were no intrigues, and everyone got along peacefully, which made her very happy.

From today, Wen Xin considered them her friends, and she had always been generous to friends. A meal was nothing to her.

“But Wen Xin, this really isn’t necessary. I know you come from Ancient Market Town, which I’ve heard is a famous poor village in Luocheng. You don’t have to…”

The class monitor’s expression was awkward as he tried to refuse Wen Xin’s offer to pay. He was worried his words might hurt Wen Xin’s confidence, but he felt it was important to address this to prevent future occurrences.

Before the class monitor could finish, Wen Xin laughed, a relaxed and beautiful laugh that stunned everyone.

Especially Wei Jiu, who felt an impulse to hide Wen Xin away so no one else could see her beauty.

“You guys are really influenced by the news online. Yes, I did grow up in Ancient Market Town, but didn’t you see another piece of news? I’m a piano composer. I’ve sold quite a few pieces.”

“Don’t worry about me going broke. I could treat you guys to meals every day and still afford it!”

At the end, Wen Xin put a finger to her lips in a shushing gesture, “But this is a secret of our class. I don’t like flaunting wealth. Being seen as poor means fewer troubles. I just want to study well and avoid too much trouble!”

Everyone nodded in understanding but was still shocked by Wen Xin’s admission. They never imagined their classmate was not only the Freshman King but also a genius piano composer.

Having such a prominent figure as a classmate was beyond their wildest dreams.

After the joke, the class monitor accepted Wen Xin’s transfer and stood up to pay the bill.

Three minutes later, the class monitor returned with an announcement from the counselor.

“Attention everyone, tomorrow afternoon, we will take a bus to the military training base. We have a half-day off in the morning, so prepare your things. Meet at the playground at three. Latecomers will have to join next year’s training with the freshmen!”

As the class monitor finished, everyone sighed and groaned.

“Military training so soon? I thought we had three days of meetings. Why the sudden rush?”

“Yeah, and it’s so hot now. I heard the training base is very strict, and the instructors are tough… A living hell…”

“It’s not that bad. We’re Beijing University students. They won’t push us too hard. We’re future talents in research fields, so they’ll go easy on us!”

Everyone started discussing the upcoming military training. Some were optimistic, while others complained.

Wen Xin turned to look at the two girls beside her, whose calm expressions intrigued her.

“Why do you two seem so calm? Not worried about the tough training?”

“Worried? What’s there to worry about? Military training always takes a toll!”

Zhou Xiaoxiao responded excitedly, attracting admiring looks from everyone for her bravery.

But then she added, “But military training at the base is different. I heard the instructors are active-duty officers, all in great shape and very handsome…”

As she spoke, Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but swallow.

Diwu Qixian, playing along, picked up a napkin from the table and wiped Zhou Xiaoxiao’s mouth, “Wipe the drool from your mouth. Your daydreaming is hitting me in the face. Tone it down, or you’ll scare the instructors away.”

Diwu Qixian’s actions and teasing words made everyone burst into laughter, momentarily forgetting their nervousness about the training.

After a few more casual conversations, they checked the time, stood up, and left the hotel together to head back to school.

While waiting for a taxi downstairs, Wei Jiu managed to hail a cab. He quickly approached Wen Xin, Diwu Qixian, and Zhou Xiaoxiao.

“It’s hard to get a cab here. I flagged one down. You guys go first, and we’ll wait for the next one.”

“Thanks, handsome!” Zhou Xiaoxiao patted Wei Jiu on the shoulder like a buddy, then dragged Wen Xin toward the cab.

Busy replying to Mu Chengxi’s messages, Wen Xin didn’t notice the deep affection in Wei Jiu’s gaze as he looked at her.
