Chapter 269: You’ll See (1)_1
Situ Jin and the others also felt the burning gazes of the girls around them. But luckily, all three of them had grown accustomed to it and simply chose to ignore it.
When Situ Xin and the others took their seats, Situ Xin heard a classmate whispering, "Wow, they are so handsome, even more so than the most popular guys at our old school."
The moment that voice faded, Situ Xin heard the girl who had just spoken being scornfully countered by her deskmate, "You really are a country bumpkin who’s never seen the world. Our school’s three princes are way beyond what those crummy school heartthrobs can match." Clearly, the girl who had just spoken was someone who had come up directly from this school’s junior high.
After listening to the various whispers and discussions in the class, Situ Xin looked around to see if there were any familiar faces. Honestly, there were a few people Situ Xin didn’t want to share a class with. It wasn’t because of fear or anything; it just felt like a hassle. Sometimes when in a bad mood, it could become annoying. Situ Xin feared that one careless moment when feeling down might lead to using those few as a target.
After scanning the room, Situ Xin didn’t spot any of those familiar faces, which was quite puzzling considering they were attending the best school in Capital City, and their current class was reputed to be the best of the best.
Logically speaking, the families in the same compound as the Situ Family should have done everything possible to get their children into this class.
As Situ Xin stared into space in one part of the classroom, Situ Jin came over, looked in the same direction, but saw nothing beyond a white wall. "Baby, what are you looking at?"
"Ah," Situ Xin turned around when Situ Jin asked and replied, "Oh, I was just checking if there was anyone we knew in this class. Turns out there’s not a single one. I don’t get it, our class is supposed to be the best in the entire school, why wouldn’t they be here?" Situ Xin was uncharacteristically baffled.
Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao understood Situ Xin’s confusion once they heard it. During the days following their return, they had all heard about Situ Xin’s exploits over the summer. When they found out that Situ Xin was now the leader of The Dark Division, their jaws had literally dropped.
Xiao Muli had always known about Situ Xin’s excellence, but he hadn’t expected to be so far behind without even realizing it. This made him more determined than ever to work harder. Indeed, since coming back, Xiao Muli had been particularly diligent in his martial arts practice, earning him rare praise from Old Master Situ.
Those from the class who knew Situ Xin and had impressions of him were those who had shown hostility and had pulled tricks on him. Originally, as the favorite child of the Situ Family, the adults knew these were just conflicts between children and wouldn’t get involved as long as nothing serious happened.
