Chapter 88: The Strange Welcoming Ceremony

Han Zhengxiu gave Yan Xiaoju a strange look and said defensively, “Don’t tell me that you like him?”

Yan Xiaoju was stunned and then glared at Han Zhengxiu. “What are you thinking about? I don’t like guys who like to attract bees and butterflies.”

She only thought that Gu Qingchen and Han Zhengxiu knew An Ge, so she asked them. In the end, Han Zhengxiu misunderstood that she liked An Ge.

What kind of logic was this? To be able to fall in love with someone from afar, did he think she was retarded?

Han Zhengxiu did not know Yan Xiaoju, but Gu Qingchen did. Yan Xiaoju had never had a boyfriend. Gu Qingchen had asked her before, and Yan Xiaoju’s answer was that she could do anything that a man could do, so why would she need a man?

Perhaps it was because Yan Xiaoju hated her father that she never had a boyfriend. Han Zhengxiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile, “Hehe, sorry. I was a little rude. Yan Xiaoju, don’t be angry.”

Yan Xiaoju was not a petty person, so she naturally would not be angry over such a small matter. She only asked, “Is that person very close to you?”

Actually, she really wanted to blend in with Gu Qingchen and Han Zhengxiu. It was not easy for her to make friends with them, so she naturally cherished the two of them.

Han Zhengxiu told Yan Xiaoju everything that had happened before. After Yan Xiaoju heard it, she looked at An Ge again, her eyes full of disdain.

“You can’t judge a book by its cover. What you said makes a lot of sense. I didn’t realize that An Ge was actually a gigolo.”

When Han Zhengxiu heard it, he immediately nodded in agreement. He even smiled and put his arm around Yan Xiaoju’s shoulder. “Great minds think alike! No wonder we became friends. Even our opinions are so similar.”

Yan Xiaoju blushed for a moment, but she quickly calmed herself down and slapped Han Zhengxiu’s arm away.

“Don’t think of taking advantage of me.”

When she was with Gu Qingchen and Han Zhengxiu, Yan Xiaoju finally revealed her true nature bit by bit.

Han Zhengxiu looked at Yan Xiaoju exaggeratedly and said, “Don’t tell me you’re a different person?”

At this moment, Yan Xiaoju did not look like someone who was being bullied. He seriously suspected that the person who was being bullied by Yan Jiaoyue that day was not Yan Xiaoju in front of him.

Yan Xiaoju paused for a moment before she rolled her eyes at Han Zhengxiu and did not say anything.

Han Zhengxiu also knew that as outsiders, they could not interfere in Yan Xiaoju’s family matters. Hence, he found another topic and started chatting again.

The three of them chatted happily. Soon, the leader of the school came over, and the students were much quieter.

“Look, this is the principal of Hongfeng Elite School.”

Han Zhengxiu pointed at the principal and whispered to Gu Qingchen and Yan Xiaoju.

The principal walked directly to the high platform. The students respectfully shut their mouths and stood straight, waiting for the principal to speak.

Gu Qingchen observed the principal. The principal was not very old. He was only in his forties. He was well-dressed and elegant. Just by standing there, he exuded a sense of authority.

“Hello, everyone. I am the principal of Hongfeng, Lu Yuncheng. Today is the day that our Hongfeng Elite School will welcome new students again. I know that you have been waiting for this day for a long time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the senior students revealed an eager look. They stared at the new students under the high platform as if they were delicious food.

Yan Xiaoju frowned and whispered, “What does Principal Lu mean? Why does it sound so strange to me? Also, the expressions of those students are also very strange.”

This time, even Han Zhengxiu didn’t understand, “I don’t know either. I only know some gossip about Hongfeng School, but their gazes are indeed a little strange. It’s okay, don’t worry. We should be more careful. It shouldn’t be a problem if we are careful.”

Gu Qingchen originally wanted to read the minds of these people, but after thinking about it, she didn’t do it.

She had already used mind-reading once, so she had four times left. She couldn’t use it casually.

From the principal’s words, she could roughly guess that these new students were going to have a hard time today. It was better for her to preserve her strength.

Principal Lu paused for a moment and then continued, “Of course, as the seniors of the new students, I hope that everyone will remember the rules of Hongfeng. Moderation is best. All the new students, from this moment onwards, you are all members of our Hongfeng Elite School. I hope that you can adapt to the life in Hongfeng. I wish you good luck.”

Many of the new students were stunned. Wasn’t this the welcoming ceremony for the new students? Why did it sound more like a threat to them?

This Hongfeng Elite School was a little too strange.

After Principal Lu finished speaking, the students below burst into applause. From the sound of the applause, it seemed like they could hear their excitement.

“Okay, next, we’ll have Director Jiang, the director of the student affairs office, assign the classes.”

Principal Lu handed over the assignment of the classes to the director of the student affairs office.

Jiang Yi nodded at the principal, then walked up with a list in his hand.

“Next, the students who heard my name come up to the stage.”

For some reason, all the freshmen felt inexplicably nervous.

“Guo Yuxuan.”

“Here!”

A boy named Guo Yuxuan immediately walked up to the high stage and stood there with his body straight.

Director Jiang Yi looked at him, then looked at the name list and said, “Guo Yuxuan, level ten guzheng, level nine drum set, level eight clarinet, level eight piano, and some music arrangement, right?”

Guo Yuxuan nodded, “Yes.”

Yan Xiaoju was dumbfounded and whispered, “No… No way. He’s so talented!”

Even Han Zhengxiu, who had always been confident, was stunned. He knew that those who could come to Hongfeng were not ordinary people, but when he heard Guo Yuxuan’s achievements, he could not help but feel a little nervous.

Only Gu Qingchen was calmer. Although she was surprised, she did not feel ashamed because she knew she had her own talent. Guo Yuxuan was skilled in music, and that was what he was good at.

Hongfeng Elite School valued individual ability more. Otherwise, he would have been selected without a single certificate.

“Don’t worry. Since Hongfeng chose us, it means that we have the qualities that they like.”

Gu Qingchen’s words made Yan Xiaoju and Han Zhengxiu feel slightly relieved.

That’s right, they had already been selected, so they had to believe that they were very outstanding.

“Yes, very good. Guo Yuxuan, then go to the Department of Art’s music class.”

Jiang Yi directly assigned Guo Yuxuan to the Department of Art.

Gu Qingchen was a little surprised, “Department of Art’s music class? Han Zhengxiu, what’s going on?”

Han Zhengxiu explained, “So you guys really don’t know anything. Hongfeng Elite School is different from ordinary high schools. There isn’t any grade one or grade two classes. Here, the class division is almost the same as the university. They divided the student s into the classes based on their talents. This kind of division is more conducive to adapting to university life in the future.

“Moreover, the students of Hongfeng Elite School don’t need to participate in the national college entrance exam. Generally speaking, the students here are all wanted by the various colleges and universities.”

Speaking up to this point, Han Zhengxiu was a little eager to give it a try. His grades had never been very high, and the main reason he wanted to come to Hongfeng Elite School was because of this.

He wanted to go to university, but through the normal channels, he reckoned that he had no chance. But if he came to Hongfeng Elite School, he could definitely go to a very good university.

Han Zhengxiu then told Gu Qingchen and Yan Xiaoju some things about Hongfeng Elite School. Only then did the two of them have a preliminary understanding of Hongfeng Elite School.

Just as Han Zhengxiu was talking enthusiastically, Director Jiang Yi called out Han Zhengxiu’s name.
