12: Chapter 12 I'm Your Future Wife!

A new student? Who transfers in the third year of high school?

"A new student?"

"Transferring in the third year of high school?"

"What's the point of transferring now?"

"Isn't it just another connection hire?"

"Is it a guy or a girl?"

When that last sentence came out, the eyes of many boys in the class lit up.

At this stage of the third year, the class structure is basically fixed. Those who can transfer mid-way either have a significant background or a very special situation.

Lu Cheng was also a bit surprised and subconsciously looked toward the door.

The next second.

A figure walked in from outside the classroom.

The classroom went quiet for a moment, and then the atmosphere changed significantly.

It was a very beautiful girl.

Her face was small, her features delicate, and her skin was so fair it glowed. Yet, her figure was extremely eye-catching. Even wearing a school uniform, she looked outrageously good—with a curvaceous figure and proportions so exaggerated that it was hard to tear one's eyes away from her.

Baby face, huge...!

Lu Cheng just had these words pop into his head, then forcibly strangled the second half.

Can't think about it.

It leads to trouble.

The group of boys below in the class weren't as restrained as him; their eyes were almost popping out.

"Holy crap..."

"This is too top-tier..."

"The quality of the new classmate is this high?"

"Wait, did our class's luck suddenly turn around?"

Ma Dachun even gasped, lowering his voice, his tone full of shock:

"Brother Cheng, I declare that from today on, this is my new goddess."

Lu Cheng glanced at him: "You change goddesses quite often."

"That's not important." Ma Dachun said solemnly, "What's important is that my aesthetic taste is improving."

On the podium, Liu Haifeng frowned and tapped the table.

"Quiet!"

The classroom went silent immediately.

The girl, however, seemed completely unbothered by those gazes. She stood beside the podium, blinked, and her gaze naturally swept across the class.

Then, it landed with extreme precision on Lu Cheng.

In that instant, her eyes clearly lit up.

As if she had finally found her target.

Lu Cheng's heart skipped a beat for some reason.

Something's wrong... very wrong!

He felt like he had seen a girl with such a good figure somewhere before... it seemed like it was just yesterday.

Liu Haifeng said: "Introduce yourself."

The girl nodded, her voice crisp and naturally sweet:

"Hello everyone, my name is Xia Xi. I just transferred here from out of town. Please take care of me in the future."

After she finished speaking, she bowed politely to everyone.

A sparse but exceptionally enthusiastic round of applause erupted in the classroom.

The boys clapped especially hard.

Lu Cheng, however, did not clap.

Because he realized that from the moment this transfer student named Xia Xi entered the door, her gaze hadn't really left him.

Hmm... I hope I'm just overthinking it... What do they call it, excessive self-consciousness, yeah, that's it!

Typical delusions of a teenage boy~

Thinking he's the protagonist, who likes him, and so on...

Liu Haifeng nodded and was about to arrange seating when Xia Xi spoke up first.

"Teacher."

"Hmm?"

"I want to sit there."

She reached out and pointed.

The entire class's gaze swished and followed that fair finger.

What she pointed at was exactly the seat next to Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng: "..."

Ma Dachun: "???"

The whole class: "???"

After a brief silence, the classroom exploded.

"Holy crap!?"

"She wants to sit next to Lu Cheng?"

"No way, designating a seat as soon as she arrives?"

"Does she know Lu Cheng?"

"On what grounds!?"

Liu Haifeng was also stunned. He looked over and frowned: "Someone is already sitting there."

Xia Xi blinked: "Can we switch?"

When she said this, she was still looking at Lu Cheng.

As if she were asking for his opinion, yet also as if she didn't care what others thought at all.

Lu Cheng could already smell the scent of trouble.

And big trouble at that.

Ma Dachun was sitting next to him right now.

Given this guy's temperament, let alone giving up his seat, if anyone dared to touch his desk, he would make a scene for half a day.

But the next second, Ma Dachun stood up with a "whoosh," his movement as fast as if he were spring-loaded.

"OK! Of course, OK!"

He said while grabbing his books and moving to the back, his face full of righteous sacrifice.

"Brother, for your happiness, I can make the sacrifice."

"This is my pleasure!"

Lu Cheng's mouth twitched: "I thank you so much."

"You're welcome." Ma Dachun lowered his voice and winked at him, "If you get rich, don't forget me."

Liu Haifeng looked at the two of them, then at Xia Xi, and finally didn't say anything.

"Then just sit like that for now."

"Don't talk during class."

Xia Xi nodded immediately, smiling sweetly: "Thank you, Teacher."

Then she hugged her books and walked straight toward Lu Cheng.

The eyes of all the boys in the class escorted her the whole way.

Lu Cheng watched her approach with a blank expression, but inside, his alarms were already blaring.

Not right.

This is too wrong.

For such a beautiful girl to suddenly approach him, it's either a honey trap or she's here to take his kidneys!

A boy out in the world really has to protect himself.

Xia Xi sat down beside him, moving lightly, bringing with her a faint fragrance.

She put her books away, turned her head to look at Lu Cheng, her eyes curving.

"Hello there."

"Hmm... Hello."

Lu Cheng didn't dare look at her, instead focusing intently on the teacher. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but the beauty beside him seemed to be looking at him the whole time...

...

And at this moment, Xia Xi, who was sitting next to Lu Cheng and appeared obedient and quiet, was actually turbulent inside.

It really is him.

It really is Lu Cheng.

Exactly the same as in the dream.

Even a bit more handsome than in the dream.

That clean-cut silhouette, those eyes that always held a bit of caution and calmness when looking at people, and that calm-as-can-be demeanor just now when facing the whole class's gaze!

Xia Xi's heart was pounding, and even her fingertips were slightly warm.

She had been having dreams lately.

Dreams of humanity being oppressed, slaughtered, and forced to retreat in the distant future.

And right in that despair, one person stood up.

That person was Lu Cheng.

In her dreams, he rose all the way, from an F-grade Talent that everyone looked down on, to an existence that the entire Rong City, and even a wider area, looked up to.

It was also him who saved her from the ruins and blood and fire at the most dangerous moment.

Xia Xi still remembered the scene from that moment clearly.

The boy was covered in blood, standing in front of the collapsed street, with fire and beast roars behind him, yet his voice was shockingly steady.

"Don't be afraid."

"Stick close to me."

Ever since then, she could never forget it.

More importantly, this dream wasn't fake!

Many things in the dream had actually happened in real life, such as her father being transferred to Rong City.

She had even used things that happened in the dream to crack down on quite a few criminals.

So Xia Xi didn't doubt it at all.

The future would really happen.

And Lu Cheng would really become the person who changed everything.

It's just that in the dream, by the time she truly had a connection with Lu Cheng, there were already many girls around him.

This time is different.

This time, she must be the first.

Thinking of this, Xia Xi couldn't help but sneak another look at Lu Cheng.

And... she always felt like she had seen him a long time ago.

Not the way she had seen him in the dream.

It was an earlier, more vague sense of familiarity.

But she was also sure that she shouldn't have had any real contact with him before.

However, soon, she cast this doubt aside herself.

It doesn't matter.

Anyway, he is by her side now.

Although Lu Cheng's talent is only F-grade, he had mastered martial arts before even becoming a martial artist and had defeated Zhou Lize.

Such a person cannot be described as an ordinary genius at all.

As for the Zhou Family...

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Xia Xi's eyes.

That family was never any good; they ran a pharmaceutical business on the surface, but were involved in a bunch of dirty business behind the scenes.

She had to find a way to get Daddy to deal with them.

She couldn't let them cause trouble for Lu Cheng.

On the podium, the teacher had already resumed the lesson.

But Xia Xi clearly had no intention of listening.

Every once in a while, she would move her pen a little closer to Lu Cheng, or deliberately flip her workbook loudly, trying to get his attention.

As a result, Lu Cheng kept his eyes straight ahead the whole time. He swore this was the most attentive he had ever been in class in his life.

Xia Xi: "..."

She was a bit unconvinced.

So after a few minutes, she whispered:

"Lu Cheng."

"Hmm?"

"Are you thirsty? I have juice."

"Not thirsty."

"Then are you hungry? I have cookies."

"Not hungry."

"Then you..."

"Class is in session."

Lu Cheng didn't even turn his head, speaking concisely.

Xia Xi puffed out her cheeks and said "Oh." She was quiet for less than thirty seconds before she couldn't help but lean in a little closer.

"Then are you free after school?"

"No time."

"What about noon?"

"No time."

"What about tonight?"

"Even less time."

Xia Xi blinked: "You didn't even ask me what I wanted to do."

Lu Cheng looked at her, very directly.

"Do I know you?"

As soon as these words came out, the ears of the people listening in around them instantly pricked up even higher.

Xia Xi clearly hadn't expected him to ask that. She was stunned for a moment, then seriously thought about it for two seconds.

Then, she looked straight at Lu Cheng with her eyes and grinned with her little mouth, laughing:

"Let's get to know each other now."

"My name is Xia Xi."

"I am your future wife."
