"Xiaxia, let me show you a photo."
Chang Yingying, Lu Xia's deskmate and top follower, placed her phone in front of Lu Xia.
The photo on the screen was none other than Huo Yao, who was the subject of everyone's heated discussion.
"He's a new transfer student from the experimental class. He looks pretty good," Chang Yingying added in a gossipy manner.
Lu Xia's eyes landed on the phone.
Even though Huo Yao's profile was only shown in the photo and the photographer's face was a little blurry, Lu Xia could easily tell that she was the only one shining in the crowd.
Lu Xia's eyes dimmed for a moment. She knew that Huo Yao would attract attention from the first day she met her, but she did not expect this day to come so soon.
She could not understand why Huo Yao was so different from what she had expected.
She was clearly a timid, self-abased, and a troublemaker!
Lu Xia lowered her eyes and collected her doubts. She raised her head and didn't show any unhappiness on her face. She still answered Chang Yingying in a very gentle voice, "Yes, she is."
Chang Yingying suddenly realized something. How could she compliment another girl in front of her goddess?
Would it not be an insult to her goddess?
With this thought in mind, Chang Yingying hurriedly put her phone away and placed it on the table with the screen facing down. She smiled and said, "No matter how pretty she is, she can't be prettier than our Xiaxia. You are the campus belle, so how can a transfer student like her compare?"
Lu Xia lowered her eyes and said softly in a reproachful tone, "Yingying, don't say that again. Although Huo Yao comes from a remote county, it's a fact that she is pretty."
"Huo Yao? Xiaxia, do you know that transfer student? Is she from the countryside? "Chang Yingying seemed to have caught wind of a major piece of news.
Lu Xia covered her mouth and seemed to be annoyed at her sudden slip of the tongue. After a while, she said softly, "Kind of. She is an adopted daughter of the Lu family."
Chang Yingying's eyes widened when she heard this. "So she is the fake daughter who took over your identity for many years?"
Many people in the school knew about the campus belle's mysterious background.
"Shh, Yingying, don't speak so loudly. It's not good if others hear you," Lu Xia said angrily.
Chang Yingying pursed her lips and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. She's a fake and has enjoyed the status of a rich lady for more than ten years. Yet, you're living in a poor family for her … I take back what I said about her beauty!"
Lu Xia lowered her eyes and smiled ambiguously. She patted Chang Yingying's shoulder and said, "You mustn't tell anyone about this. After all, Huo Yao is innocent too." Chang Yingying's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Aren't you innocent?" Chang Yingying sneered. She did not take Xia Xia's words to heart. "Xiaxia, you are too kind. Don't let others bully you!"
"Of course not. Huo Yao is not that kind of person," said Lu Xia in defense of Huo Yao.
"Anyway, don't let me catch her, or I won't let her have it easy." Chang Yingying said coldly.
Lu Xia curled her lips and said nothing more.

Before Huo Yao left the school in the afternoon, Chen Yu asked her to go to the office to fill in her application and pass her a temporary student pass.
