123: Fainting from a nosebleed, that's incredible!

Li Mo had just arrived from a small city, and everything in Shanghai made him feel both curious and a bit out of place.

Finally... I got in.

This was a new starting point. He no longer wanted to be obscure like in the past; he wanted to change, to become an extraordinary person... As Li Mo was secretly psyching himself up, his thoughts were interrupted by the sudden silence in the classroom and the subsequent murmurs.

He looked up in confusion, following everyone's gaze.

Then, his world froze at that moment.

His mind went blank instantly!

The sunlight streaming in through the window perfectly outlined the profile of that silver-haired girl. Her skin was so fair it was almost translucent, and her features were as exquisite as God's most perfect masterpiece. She exuded a cold, aloof, and inviolable aura.

Chang'e!!!

No, even the legendary Chang'e couldn't be more beautiful than her!

He began to fantasize uncontrollably.

In a corner of a library bathed in the setting sun, he 'accidentally' knocked over a book next to Lei Jun... Lei Jun looked up and gave him a gentle smile.

On a drizzly evening, he held an umbrella, walking side by side with Lei Jun on the campus's tree-lined path, sharing their dreams... When Lei Jun was helpless in a crisis, he appeared like a hero and rescued her, and then Lei Jun gratefully... Li Mo's thoughts strayed further and further... A stream of warm liquid shot out of his nostrils without warning.

"Ah, classmate, your nose is bleeding!"

"Quick, look up! Who has a tissue?"

The surrounding students were in a flurry.

Only then was Li Mo pulled back to reality from his fantasy. He was instantly mortified, wishing he could crawl into a hole in the ground right then and there.

It was over. He had made a fool of himself in front of so many people, and in front of Lei Jun too!

The boys couldn't help but start teasing him in low voices.

"What were you thinking about, classmate? Were you having some wild thoughts?"

The girls looked at Li Mo with disdain.

"Disgusting. Who knows what kind of filthy things are in his head? He doesn't look like a good person at first glance!"

"Sure enough, all guys are the same. They can't even walk when they see someone pretty, making such a spectacle of themselves!"

Li Mo hurriedly pulled out a crumpled tissue and stuffed it into his nostril, his face burning with shame.

It was over, all over. His first impression was completely ruined!

Everyone must be laughing at him... A huge sense of shame almost overwhelmed him.

He wished time could turn back, or the floor could crack open to let him hide.

However, in this extreme embarrassment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

No!

I can't be like this anymore!

I'm no longer the obscure Li Mo from that small town!

This is Shanghai University!

It's a new beginning!

I must change!

His gaze drifted toward Lei Jun again involuntarily.

A goddess... Such a perfect goddess was actually his classmate.

This was a chance given to him by heaven, a chance to approach perfection and escape mediocrity!

If he didn't even have the courage to go up and say hello, how could he talk about changing?

He looked up, ignored the snickers around him, straightened his back, and walked toward Lei Jun.

After just two steps, he felt countless cold gazes stabbing his back.

Those were the eyes of the other boys in the class, filled with warning and hostility, as if saying, "If you dare get close to the goddess, we'll ruin you."

Li Mo's footsteps faltered. He felt intimidated, his legs began to tremble, and a voice screamed, "Go back, this is too scary."

But he caught a glimpse of Lei Jun looking down at her phone. The sunlight fell on the tips of her hair, and that silver color seemed to have magic.

He remembered being mocked as "worthless" by his classmates in high school and his parents' advice to "work hard in university." Suddenly, he found his courage.

So what if the boys were glaring?

Compared to missing the chance to know the goddess, what did this matter!

He gritted his teeth, quickened his pace to Lei Jun's desk, and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Lei... Lei Jun, hello. My name is Li Mo, I'm also in the Finance Department. Please look after me in the future."

Lei Jun looked up and saw the flushed face of the boy in front of her, with a tissue stuffed in his nostril and eyes full of nervousness and expectation. She couldn't help but find it a bit funny.

She responded politely, "Hello, I am Lei Jun."

These simple words sounded like heavenly music to Li Mo.

He was stunned, his mind went blank, and he completely forgot the self-introduction he had prepared.

The goddess smiled at him!

She spoke to him!

He felt the snickers around him vanish, leaving only the thumping of his own heart.

He began to fantasize again... in the future, he could study with Lei Jun, discuss problems together, and even ask her to eat at the cafeteria... The more he thought, the more excited he became, and another wave of warmth hit his nasal cavity.

"Oh no, it's bleeding again!" Lin Xiaoya cried out.

Before Li Mo could react, his nose bled again. This time it wouldn't stop, and because he lost too much blood, he simply fainted.

The classroom instantly erupted.

The boys were stunned for two seconds before bursting into loud laughter: "Hahaha, this guy must be having wild thoughts again!"

"And he still dared to go strike up a conversation. He really thinks he's something!"

"I'm dying of laughter. Fainting from a nosebleed, what a move!"

The girls were also laughing like crazy, saying "Serves him right!" one after another.

Lei Jun looked at the fainted Li Mo and shook her head helplessly.

Lin Xiaoya was startled at first, but after reacting, she quickly crouched down to check Li Mo's breathing. Confirming he was still alive, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Boss's charm is too amazing; she actually made someone faint from a nosebleed.

She turned to Lei Jun and said, "Boss, I'll ask two classmates to take him to the infirmary so we don't delay the class meeting."

Two boys volunteered to carry Li Mo to the infirmary, teasing him along the way: "Buddy, you're something else, fainting for the sake of the goddess."

"When he wakes up, we've got to ask what he was fantasizing about to get so excited."

The laughter in the classroom gradually died down, but everyone was still whispering about what just happened. Many boys looked at Lei Jun with even more intense gazes... Although they thought Li Mo was a disgrace, it only further proved Lei Jun's charm. They even secretly felt lucky: "Good thing I wasn't impulsive, or I'd be the one making a fool of myself."

Just then, counselor Chen Jing walked into the classroom.

As soon as she reached the door, she sensed something was off. After hearing about what happened from the students in the front row, she couldn't help but adjust her glasses and smile helplessly.

These kids... so full of youth. But this Lei Jun's influence was certainly immediate... She cleared her throat, walked up to the podium, and said, "Alright students, quiet down. I've heard about what happened. That student has been sent to the infirmary and is fine. Let's start the class meeting."

Chen Jing put down her lesson plan and began her self-introduction.

"My name is Chen Jing, and I am your counselor. I will be with you for the next four years of your university life. The study load in the Finance Department is not small, but it's very interesting. I hope you can all master your professional knowledge while also finding your own hobbies and leading a fulfilling university life."
