"I'm from Huan City, Nan Province. I used to go to primary school there, but because of my parents' jobs, I came to He Town with them. By the way, my mom is also a member of this school. She's an English teacher. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."
No wonder. She's really a girl from a big city.
And her mom is an English teacher in the school. She does have the capital to be proud.
The applause thundered, but the looks people gave Shen Qingqing were obviously different from before.
If they disliked her behavior a bit before, now they were in awe.
After all, her parent was a teacher. To the students here, Shen Qingqing was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Even if they weren't afraid of the teacher, they were afraid of getting into trouble with Shen Qingqing and then being made life difficult by the teacher.
"Look, she introduced herself as the teacher's daughter right at the beginning. What's this? Showing that she's different from others?" Ji Chengxuan whispered to Yun Que'er.
"Are you overthinking it?" Yun Que'er didn't fully agree. "After all, not everyone is like us. We're both in our fifties in total, but she's just a kid. Kids are all vain. She's just being proud."
But Ji Chengxuan had a different view. "Don't think that kids are always innocent. This isn't our era. In our time, family conditions were good, and kids were all protected like dodder flowers, so they were pure. But these days are tough, and kids grow up faster."
As he said this, Ji Chengxuan's expression changed a bit, and he lowered his voice even more.
"Let me ask you. If a person has a car and tells you how great it is every time you meet, will you envy him?"
"Of course not." Yun Que'er shook her head without hesitation.
"First of all, what I don't have now, I might have in the future. And if he always shows off, it's hard not to think that he has nothing but a car, so there's nothing really to show off."
Ji Chengxuan smiled. "See, you understand this quite well."
He turned to look at the stage. "So, we really don't need to argue with her. After all, who knows what the real situation is?"
After listening to Shen Qingqing's speech, Teacher Xue looked a bit embarrassed.
Personally, she didn't really recommend students to be too superior. For one thing, it would attract trouble; for another, it would unconsciously create a distance from other classmates.
It's not that you're not allowed to be proud, but if you're proud at the wrong time, it's easy to cause trouble for yourself.
"Cough, Student Shen Qingqing did a great job with her self - introduction. Now, please randomly pick another classmate to come on stage, Student Shen Qingqing."
Shen Qingqing nodded with a smile. Her eyes slowly scanned the classroom and finally landed on Ji Chengxuan.
Yun Que'er's heart skipped a beat.
No wonder Ji Chengxuan said that. She's clearly coming for him.
Yun Que'er nervously glanced at Ji Chengxuan, afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle it.
But in fact, Yun Que'er was overthinking. Before Shen Qingqing could say a word, Ji Chengxuan had already stood up.
"May I ask if Student Shen Qingqing wants me to come on stage for a self - introduction?"
Shen Qingqing's smile froze a bit.
She originally wanted to look at Ji Chengxuan for a few more seconds. After all, she thought Ji Chengxuan had never experienced such a situation and would definitely be nervous.
She stared at Ji Chengxuan. Even if she didn't choose him in the end, it would be enough to make him nervous for a while.
Shen Qingqing just liked to see arrogant people in a mess.
But she didn't expect Ji Chengxuan to be so calm, which made Shen Qingqing a bit at a loss.
"Yes, yes..."
Ji Chengxuan calmly nodded and strode onto the stage.
As he took the first step, Ji Chengxuan even took the time to make a face at Yun Que'er: Watch my performance well!
Yun Que'er was extremely speechless: You're really good at teasing people.
Ji Chengxuan: Don't be so quick to judge me. You're next.
Yun Que'er rolled her eyes. She knew Ji Chengxuan wouldn't let her off so easily.
He not only pits outsiders but also his own people.
Ji Chengxuan's self - introduction was very fluent. He didn't reveal anything about his family. It was just an ordinary introduction and a simple greeting to the classmates.
Next was Yun Que'er. She was used to all kinds of situations and handled this one with ease.
Probably inspired by them, and since many of the kids were from the same hometown, the students who came on stage later weren't so nervous. Some naughty boys even joked with each other, making Teacher Xue laugh.
As for Shen Qingqing, she never looked up again. Her face was full of indignation.
Yun Que'er nudged Ji Chengxuan beside her. "Did we go too far?"
"I said you're such a goody - two - shoes, right?" Ji Chengxuan gave Yun Que'er a sideways look. "This is the way it should be. It's everyone's first meeting. Isn't it good to be relaxed? I didn't do anything excessive. It was her who put on a superior attitude as soon as she got on stage. Now she's out of place. It's her own choice."
Actually, thinking about it, it made sense. Who could you blame?
Yun Que'er shook her head. Forget it. She didn't care about these things.
The first class passed like this. Teacher Xue organized the boys in the class to get the new books, while the girls stayed in the classroom and waited.
Some girls sitting next to each other had already become friendly. Yun Que'er also chatted with the girls in the front and back rows.
Suddenly, Shen Qingqing on one side spoke up.
"A motley crew."
Everyone looked at her in confusion. There was no other reason for this reaction. They really didn't understand.
But Yun Que'er understood.
She glanced at Shen Qingqing. Not wanting to provoke her, she pretended not to understand and continued chatting with the girls.
Finally, Shen Qingqing found a sense of superiority and showed a satisfied smile.
"Your name is Yun Que'er, right?"
Yun Que'er looked at Shen Qingqing who took the initiative to talk to her and gave a friendly smile.
"Yes."
"We'll be classmates from now on. I hope you'll take good care of me." Shen Qingqing took the initiative to reach out her hand to Yun Que'er. "I see you're from the village, right?"
Yun Que'er really didn't want to be biased against Shen Qingqing, but that sentence from Shen Qingqing just made Yun Que'er feel physically uncomfortable.
"Yes." Yun Que'er nodded gently.
The smile on Shen Qingqing's face became even more meaningful.
"Let's be friends then. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me. If you don't understand anything, also come and ask me. I'll definitely tell you everything I know."
Yun Que'er was really worried that Shen Qingqing would start using archaic language the next second.
She smiled awkwardly and vaguely changed the subject.
"Ah, okay, okay..."
Soon, the boys in the class came back.
Ji Chengxuan helped Yun Que'er put the books on the table and saw Yun Que'er looking listless.
