"Gu Jingzhou, come to my office."
The Math Teacher stood at the podium after the first class ended.
Gu Jingzhou went to the office.
The Math Teacher asked, "What's going on with you? You've been distracted in class lately, and even making careless mistakes in tests."
Gu Jingzhou lowered his head. "Nothing much, just not in the best state recently."
To be precise, he had been utterly frustrated lately.
His older brother had snatched his phone and deleted that girl from his WeChat contacts.
Gu Jingchuan had truly lost his mind!
That girl wasn’t even his high school ex-girlfriend!
And the guy he’d sent people to teach a lesson—Ji'an, who had beaten him in basketball—hadn’t even been properly dealt with.
"Right now is a critical time. You need to adjust your state. As the Math class representative, you can’t afford to make these careless mistakes anymore!" The Math Teacher spoke earnestly.
Gu Jingzhou returned to the classroom just as the bell for the second class rang.
This was the Head Teacher’s Chinese class.
The Head Teacher was a middle-aged man, slightly plump with thinning hair.
He walked in, scanned the classroom, and announced, "Today, two transfer students will be joining our class."
It was already well into the first semester of senior year—no one expected transfer students at this point.
And two at once.
The whole class buzzed with anticipation.
Gu Jingzhou had no interest. He flipped open his Chinese textbook.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Mo."
A clear, melodious voice made Gu Jingzhou look up.
The next second, his eyes widened, his heart pounding wildly.
Her skin was like porcelain, her peach-blossom eyes bright and captivating.
Wasn’t this the very same girl?
Wait—Lin Mo?
Her name was Lin Mo?
The entire class’s attention was now fixed on Lin Mo.
She was stunning!
Zhang Shuo, who had been half-asleep, suddenly perked up. "Young Miss!"
The whole class turned to look at Zhang Shuo.
Then it hit them—wasn’t this the girl who had come looking for Gu Jingzhou before?
Had she transferred to First High just for him?
Was she really this devoted?
Lin Mo smiled at Zhang Shuo.
The radiant girl’s eyes curved into crescents as she laughed.
Sunlight streamed in from outside, casting a glow over her, making her seem almost ethereal.
Every student, male or female, was momentarily spellbound.
"My name is Ji'an," Shen Ji'an introduced himself.
"Whoa! Aren’t you the boss of Third High? The one who knocked out two of the principal’s teeth!" A student blurted out.
The Head Teacher shot a glare in their direction.
The offending student immediately looked around, pretending it wasn’t him who had spoken.
But now everyone knew—this guy was the real deal, a genuine school tyrant!
The class was torn between delight and dread.
Their eyes would feast, but their safety was now in question!
Since there were two transfer students, the Head Teacher simply seated them together at the back.
The entire class struggled to focus during the lesson.
They wanted to whisper and gossip but feared the Head Teacher’s death stare.
Finally, the bell rang.
Zhang Shuo practically lunged over.
"Young Miss, why didn’t you tell me you were transferring to First High?"
Lin Mo awkwardly rubbed her nose. "Stop calling me Young Miss."
Zhang Shuo nodded. "Of course, Young Miss."
Lin Mo: "..."
Shen Ji'an’s eyes, hidden beneath his long bangs, glared coldly at Zhang Shuo. "Move. You’re crushing my book."
Who was this guy? Since when did his sister have a servant like this?
Zhang Shuo, oblivious, extended a hand. "Hi, I’m Zhang Shuo. I saw your game last time—you were amazing!"
Shen Ji'an’s expression didn’t soften at the praise. He didn’t take the offered hand. "Hmph."
Zhang Shuo awkwardly withdrew his hand. "I’m so jealous you get to sit with Young Miss!"
At this, Shen Ji'an’s expression eased slightly.
If only you knew, he thought.
She’s my sister. My real sister!
Gu Jingzhou had spent the entire class unable to believe this girl was really his brother Gu Jingchuan’s ex-girlfriend.
She looked almost identical, and her name was the same—there was no other explanation.
What was going on?
No one could tell him, and he didn’t want to ask his brother.
If Gu Jingchuan found out Lin Mo was here, he’d definitely come chasing after her.
Gu Jingzhou knew his brother well—he was stingy, only spending money where he saw value.
Back then, his confession to Lin Mo had cost a full million.
That alone proved how much he had loved her.
But Gu Jingzhou refused to believe Lin Mo still had feelings for Gu Jingchuan.
She had texted him daily, caring for him, and now she’d transferred to First High just to be with him.
She was clearly head over heels for him!
His gaze drifted to the beautiful figure at the back—and then to the boy with the long bangs covering his eyes.
Why had Third High’s Ji'an also transferred here?
And what right did he have to sit next to Lin Mo?
Gu Jingzhou stood up and walked to the back. He looked at Lin Mo and greeted her, "Long time no see."
Lin Mo blinked at him, then smiled politely. "Mm."
She’d forgotten the male lead’s younger brother, Gu Jingzhou, was in this class.
The school principal had arranged the seating.
Remembering the dream she’d had, Lin Mo frowned slightly.
Her fourth brother would beat Gu Jingzhou so badly he’d end up hospitalized—and then go to jail for it.
In the original timeline, Shen Ji'an hadn’t transferred to First High, so their paths had barely crossed.
What could possibly happen to make Shen Ji'an beat Gu Jingzhou to that extent?
Lin Mo’s smile sent Gu Jingzhou’s heart into overdrive.
Now he understood why his brother had been so obsessed with her.
A line from a song flashed through his mind:
"No spring breeze could ever compare to your smile—those who haven’t seen you would never understand."
Since he had feelings for her, and she had come here for him,
Gu Jingzhou saw no reason to hesitate. He turned to Shen Ji'an and said bluntly,
"You—switch seats with me."
