Chapter 21 The Start of School

March 1, the sun was shining.

It was finally the day the school year starts again.

In the auditorium, people had already started to gather. Every student's face was filled with the glow of youth. The headmaster's wrinkled face was full of smiles. Today's opening ball was not only for the students of the school, there were also many famous people attending. These people were all there because of him and that made him feel happy.

Xi Mufeng was wearing a custom-fit black suit. The pants were tailored to show off his long legs, the jacket highlighted his strong shoulders and back. His body was very fit, his features were solid and deep, and he made people unable to move their eyes just by standing there.

Mo Zhuyang was not far away, watching him obsessively.

Some people just have this kind of magic. It was as if they can glow. If him was there, other people's existence no longer holds any meanings.

Xi Mufeng, however, didn't notice Mo Zhuyang. He seemed to be searching around for something.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

At the entrance to the auditorium.

The auditorium, which was originally boisterous, was now as silent as if time had stood still!

A woman that was beautiful she appears to be not of this world.

That's the only words to describe Xiang Lianyi!

She wore a white mini dress, the fishtail skirt edge slightly raised. The silky-smooth fabric clung to her perfect body. The hollowed-out designs on her waist made her look playful but sexy at the same time. The exposed skin was creamy and smooth, like the texture of milk, and made people want to touch her.

"Is this Xiang Lianyi?"

"Oh God, she seems like an entirely different person!"

"Yeah, her dress is so pretty!"

"And wouldn't you know it, her mom just made a breakthrough in her business. I heard they made a lot of money!"

"Isn't her mother a seamstress? Her mother didn't make this dress for her, did she?"

The crowd began to whisper, most of them thinking, "Maybe we can get a custom-made dress made by Xiang Lianyi's mother."

At this moment, Xiang Lianyi had undoubtedly become Qin Zhu's best advertisement!

"Heavens, how did Xi Mufeng become so familiar with Xiang Lianyi?"

"Yeah, yeah, it's like he's a different person in front Xiang Lianyi!"

"But, he's not..."

Everyone watched as Xi Mufeng walked over to Xiang Lianyi slowly. The two of them were laughing and chatting, and from time to time people could see Xiang Lianyi's blushing face. It didn't take long for everyone to remember Mo Zhuyang. After all, she had always claimed to be Xi Mufeng's girlfriend!

Mo Zhuyang, who was standing in the corner, was already furious. However, she wanted to act nonchalant. She had known the true meaning of this proverb since she was a child. That is, don't let your emotions be easily known, because no one will care why you are happy, but someone will definitely care why you are sad.

She didn't need anyone's sympathy!

There was another person who was also watching in the corner, gnashing her teeth. This was Wu Wenli. She had already dropped out of school, but Wu Gang ordered her to go back to school. She had no choice, so she transferred to the school where Xiang Lianyi was to continue her studies. She never thought that the first day of school would let her see such a scene!

Even though she wasn't from this school, Xi Mufeng's name was famous in several nearby schools, so how could she not know him?

She had never imagined that Xiang Lianyi was so familiar with him!

Wu Wenli's narrow eyes looked around, and an idea leaped to her mind.

"Everyone, please calm down. Next, I'd like to invite our principal to address you all!" The host said loudly with a smile on his face.

The principal, with a big belly and a big smile, walk to the center of the stage. He said in a dignified manner, "Students, a new semester has already started! I hope everyone can all focus on their studies so that our school can create more pillars to support our society! I am an old man, so I won't say much more. I've invited an alum for you today. He is now one of our South City's ten outstanding youth. Just let him impart his experience to you!"

The principal smiled and invited up a handsome and cheerful man. He exuded the attitude of nobility and his bright smile made everyone feel warm inside.

"Hello everyone, my name is Huaiyi. Yes, you heard me right, it really is Huaiyi, only it's not the 'yi' you're thinking. The 'yi' of mine is means 'a suitable room and a suitable home'." Someone in the auditorium was already giggling.

"I once asked my parents why they gave me such a name. They said that the name was just a name, nothing more. To quote the famous playwright, Shakespeare, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. But to me, who was just a child back then, I only had one thought in my head when I heard that: who the hell is Shakespeare?"

The auditorium erupted in laughter as soon as the words were spoken, followed by loud applause.

"Well, that? That was just a joke for you. Right now, anything external is unrealistic and unimportant to you. What you need to do is study. That is the most important thing at this stage of your lives..." Huaiyi's humorous and philosophical teachings made the students in the auditorium all listened with great fascination.
