89: 89. Class Representative

Watching the three of them acting all mysterious, Lin Yi asked in confusion.

"Who did you run into at the dormitory entrance?"

Hu Kai chuckled and leaned in closer.

"We ran into two girls who were bringing you breakfast. Why don't you guess who they are?"

Two girls?

Lin Yi frowned.

How could there be girls coming to bring him breakfast?

Was he really that popular now? He had just eaten breakfast at home with three stunning beauties this morning.

He hadn't expected that there would still be girls at school bringing him breakfast.

This treatment was quite good...

The key question was, who could it be?

Su Ming?

Li Tong?

That was impossible; they both knew he didn't live in the school dormitory.

Could it be Xu Dongqing, whom he had happened to save the other day?

Was she bringing him breakfast to thank him for his act of chivalry that day?

Seeing Lin Yi looking stunned, He Linwei cut straight to the chase and revealed the answer.

"One of them is Jiang Xiaowan from our class."

Hearing that name, Lin Yi subconsciously glanced toward the front of the classroom.

Jiang Xiaowan was still wearing her JK outfit today, her youthful and beautiful appearance catching everyone's eye.

"Old Lin, I have to say, you really attract girls."

"The number of boys chasing Jiang Xiaowan since the start of the semester is at least in the double digits."

"Yet she actually has a soft spot for you!"

Wu Jie also leaned in and whispered.

"Yeah, there's a guy in the next class, over 1.8 meters tall and good-looking too."

"He's been confessing to Jiang Xiaowan since the military training started."

"But who would've thought, Jiang Xiaowan wouldn't even give him the time of day!"

"Looks like our Old Lin has the most charm!"

Hu Kai covered his mouth halfway and lowered his voice.

"It's not just that guy from the next class; during the summer break, Xu Ziyang from our class started asking around about Jiang Xiaowan's interests and hobbies."

"It seems the only reason he joined the Music Club was because he heard Jiang Xiaowan likes guys who are musical."

"But who would've thought, after all his hard work, Jiang Xiaowan ended up joining the E-sports Club with our Old Lin in the end!"

"It cracks me up."

He Linwei also teased.

"Xu Ziyang only knows how to show off; he doesn't know anything about music."

"If it weren't for his sister, I don't think the Music Club would even want him!"

"Our Old Lin is the real deal; he even stole the spotlight from the president of the Music Club!"

"If I were a girl, I'd be smitten too!"

Lin Yi rubbed the back of his head, feeling embarrassed.

He hadn't expected that even though Jiang Xiaowan only had a favorability rating of thirty points for him, she would still be willing to come to the dormitory entrance early in the morning to bring him breakfast.

It seems one cannot rigidly judge what a girl might do based on the system's favorability classifications.

Every girl is different.

Lin Yi understood the saying "a woman's heart is as deep as the ocean" even better now.

"Then who was the other girl?"

Lin Yi remembered that they had just said they met two girls at the dormitory entrance.

One was Jiang Xiaowan, but what about the other one?

Lin Yi really couldn't guess.

"The other one was a senior; she said she was your ex-girlfriend."

"Look, it's her!"

Wu Jie took out his phone and showed Lin Yi the photo he had secretly taken at the dormitory entrance that morning.

Lin Yi leaned in to look, but his brows furrowed.

Guan Zhixue?

She came to bring him breakfast? What kind of game was she playing?

Since their breakup, apart from two chance encounters on the street.

Lin Yi could say he had absolutely no interaction with Guan Zhixue whatsoever.

He really didn't want to deal with this tacky ex-girlfriend.

He Linwei teased with a mischievous grin.

"Old Lin, I don't think this girl is as pretty as the ones you have around you now."

"Did you really date?"

"Could this be some romantic debt you carelessly racked up at some point!"

Lin Yi laughed and pushed He Linwei's shoulder.

"Get lost, do I look like the kind of person who's that careless?"

Hu Kai chimed in from the side.

"Exactly, for a top-tier mid-laner like Old Lin, his anti-gank ability is very strong, okay!"

"Hahahaha!"

...

As they were joking around, the teacher for the class walked into the room.

The eyes of the entire classroom instantly focused on the teacher who had walked in.

The boys in the class even let out a surprised "Whoa."

It was for no other reason than that the teacher was a beauty.

A simple blue shirt and jeans perfectly highlighted her tall and well-proportioned figure.

A slender waist, long legs—every gesture she made exuded elegance.

In the short distance from the classroom door to the podium, her steps were light and composed, each one seeming to carry its own rhythm.

Every step seemed to land right on the heartstrings of every boy present.

"Hello, students. I am your Philosophy teacher."

"My name is Teacher Liao Yan. I'm twenty-eight this year, not much older than you."

"You can call me Teacher Liao Yan or Sister Yanyan, either is fine."

Teacher Liao Yan's voice was crisp and melodious, and she smiled gently.

She reached up to adjust her silver-rimmed glasses, which were full of intellectual charm.

"Before we start our Philosophy class today, I would like to ask everyone a question."

"What is a human?"

After saying this, she used her slender fingers to grasp a piece of chalk and wrote a beautiful character for "human" on the blackboard.

With one stroke to the left and one to the right, it was profound and lively.

Upon hearing the question, the students below began to whisper and chatter among themselves.

After a while, a few bold boys scrambled to raise their hands.

Teacher Liao Yan nodded, signaling for them to answer one by one.

"Teacher, humans are the most advanced mammals!"

"Humans are animals that walk upright!"

"Humans are... primate species!"

Hearing the students' answers, Teacher Liao Yan shook her head gently.

"The students' answers aren't wrong, but they aren't the answers I'm looking for."

"Are there any other students who would like to express a different opinion?"

At this moment, Xu Ziyang's eyes darted around, and seemingly having thought of something, he confidently raised his hand.

"Teacher, I think humans are an existence independent of any other species."

Teacher Liao Yan nodded first, then followed up with a question.

"Then where do you think the biggest difference between humans and other species lies?"

Xu Ziyang was momentarily at a loss for words, his face flushing red as he couldn't think of how to explain it for a long time.

Teacher Liao Yan pressed her hand down, signaling him to sit down first.

"Is there any other student who can explain it?"

The students were silent, seemingly unable to guess the profound meaning behind Teacher Liao Yan's question.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, recalling a sentence he had read in a book before.

So he raised his hand.

Seeing that someone was still willing to answer the question, Teacher Liao Yan's eyes lit up.

"This student, why don't you share your thoughts!"

Lin Yi stood up and answered word for word.

"Humans are thinking reeds."

Hearing this answer, Teacher Liao Yan was very happy, and the admiration in her expression could not be hidden.

"Very good!"

"This student is quoting the famous French thinker Pascal's explanation of humanity."

"This sentence illustrates both human fragility and what makes humans different from other living beings."

"That is, humans possess unique thoughts."

"This student, I would like to ask you to be my class representative. What is your name?"
