Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 795 - 348 is quite arrogant.

At eight o’clock sharp, Hong Cuiting couldn’t help but wonder if Shen You’an had stood her up.

Zhao Jiajia tugged at Chen Duo, who was about to leave. "Don’t go just yet. Coach Hong brought in some kind of expert from outside. We might even pick up a thing or two."

She spoke humbly, but her tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

Chen Duo frowned and shot her a glance, then prepared to shake off her hand and leave.

Just as she turned around, a young girl walked straight toward them.

The girl was dressed casually, wearing a baseball cap and a face mask, carrying a backpack slung over one shoulder. Her figure was slim and tall, her outfit understated yet striking—cool and mysterious.

Zhao Jiajia couldn’t help but stare at her, focusing first on her clothes—they were all regular-brand items.

Hong Cuiting hesitantly asked, "Shen?"

The girl stopped in front of Hong Cuiting and took off her mask. "Coach Hong."

Hong Cuiting jumped out of her chair in excitement. "Good, good, good."

Zhao Jiajia and Chen Duo stood behind Shen You’an, unable to see her face. Zhao Jiajia noticed how excited Coach Hong appeared upon seeing her. She curled her lips and muttered quietly to Chen Duo, "Let’s see what she’s really made of."

Chen Duo ignored her and kept her eyes fixed on Shen You’an’s back.

"Why don’t you swim a lap first? I’ll take a look at how well you’ve maintained your technique."

Shen You’an nodded. "I’ll go change into my swimsuit."

Hong Cuiting turned to Zhao Jiajia. "Jiajia, take her to the changing room."

"No need."

Shen You’an immediately walked out through a nearby small door. To the left and right beyond the door were the male and female changing rooms, respectively.

Zhao Jiajia couldn’t resist asking, "Coach Hong, who is she? She carries herself like she’s pretty full of herself."

It was hard not to feel irritated looking at her.

Hong Cuiting laughed. "You’ll find out soon enough."

Zhao Jiajia muttered quietly to Chen Duo, "See that? Coach Hong’s found his new favorite. Bet he won’t pay as much attention to us anymore."

Chen Duo responded flatly, "That’s you, not me."

Zhao Jiajia was exasperated. "Are you dense? We’re supposed to be on the same side. Why are you backing an outsider?"

Chen Duo couldn’t bother arguing with her.

Just then, Shen You’an emerged from the small door, having changed into her swimsuit. When Chen Duo saw her, her small eyes seemed to instantly widen as though under a spell.

Zhao Jiajia followed her gaze. Shen You’an was wearing a one-piece swimsuit in a fairly conservative style, but it nevertheless exposed her long limbs. Her astonishing figure, framed by the tight-fitting swimsuit, showed no trace of excess fat.

Swimmers usually have long limbs and developed shoulders, making them ideal for showcasing clothes. Yet the girl in front of them had a figure that was even more exceptional, difficult to describe in words—a masterpiece, a work of art. Her skin was pale and delicate, glowing like the finest white jade under the lighting.

Her hair was neither too long nor too short, falling just to her neck. Her neck itself was long, enhancing her aesthetic appeal visually.

When they finally saw her face clearly, Zhao Jiajia sharply inhaled and pointed at her, incredulous. "You... you... aren’t you the subway beauty who was trending just a few days ago?"

Zhao Jiajia, as a die-hard fan of celebrities, had stumbled upon the viral photo of the subway beauty while browsing online recently. She had even marveled to her friends back then, saying this unknown beauty looked way better than Qiao Wan and had a far superior aura.

Her remark back then wasn’t because of her admiration for the subway beauty per se but her dislike of Qiao Wan. One of Zhao Jiajia’s favorite male stars had co-acted with Qiao Wan in a drama, sparking CP rumors. Because of this, Qiao Wan’s fans had clashed with his supporters for years, making Zhao Jiajia harbor no fondness for her.

She had even used a small account to post mean comments siding with the subway beauty to vex Qiao Wan’s fans. In retaliation, the fans labeled her a "hired troll."

She never imagined that she, this self-proclaimed "hired troll," would meet the subway beauty in person today.

Chen Duo, usually busy with swimming training, wasn’t aware of the subway beauty’s online fame. She was struck simply by how absurdly beautiful the girl was.

Hong Cuiting had previously seen Shen You’an looking understated and plain during school visits. But now, even without makeup, removing her glasses felt as if she had shed a seal, unleashing a breathtaking beauty.

"You’re Shen You’an?" Hong Cuiting asked, slightly unsure.

Shen You’an efficiently put on her swimming cap, with her goggles resting on her forehead. "Coach Hong, can we start now?"

Before Hong Cuiting could fully process everything, Shen You’an had already stepped onto the diving block, warming up her limbs.

As she moved, every gesture was mesmerizingly graceful and eye-catching.

Hong Cuiting cleared his throat and walked over to give her a few tips. "A 100-meter freestyle, the pool is regulation-sized and set up for standard competition lanes—the same as last time’s swim meet. Just relax...."

But his advice seemed redundant; Shen You’an appeared even more composed than the coach himself.

Shen You’an leaned down slightly, gripping the edge of the diving block with both hands. Her toes curled over the edge; one foot planted behind her. She slowly lowered her head.

Breathing deeply, she pulled her goggles down with one hand.

Zhao Jiajia snapped out of her shock and commented bitterly, "Being beautiful is useless. Competing in the arena is all about professional skill. She’s just a flashy showpiece without substance."

The remark had a sour undertone.

Chen Duo didn’t respond, her gaze glued to the tall silhouette on the diving block.

Competitive swimming is fiercely timed and intensely fast-paced, making the diving technique incredibly crucial.

"Three, two, one..." Hong Cuiting clicked the stopwatch.

A slim figure shot forward from the diving block, bending downward and diving in. Her hands were enclosed over her head, her entire body forming an elegant streamline as she entered the water with precision.

It was the perfect entry—minimal resistance, barely any splash.

Shen You’an’s diving and entry technique were flawless, flowing effortlessly as if choreographed, indistinguishable from those of professional athletes.

Zhao Jiajia frowned slightly—this was turning into an embarrassment.

Still, it was merely a dive. The real proof lay in the results.

Her best record was 54.21 seconds, a time that basically guaranteed her spot on the provincial team with another strong show at the upcoming competition.

For the other girl to even qualify as competition, she’d need at least 55 seconds—but Zhao Jiajia doubted she could come close.

Chen Duo couldn’t wait and rushed to the edge of the pool, her eyes glued to the flowing silhouette slicing through the water. Her excitement was palpable; her eyes sparkled.

Hong Cuiting glanced at the stopwatch as the numbers ticked away—more than halfway through, the performance was...

"52.17 seconds!" Hong Cuiting announced excitedly.

Zhao Jiajia thought she’d misheard. "Coach, what did you say? 52.17 seconds? That’s already beyond the national record! How’s that even possible? Your stopwatch must be broken."

Pulling herself up at the edge of the pool, Shen You’an grabbed the railing. Chen Duo immediately stepped forward with a towel, her eyes practically glowing with admiration.

"Thank you."

Shen You’an reached out to take the towel and draped it over herself.

Hong Cuiting couldn’t contain his excitement as he looked at Shen You’an. "You really haven’t been practicing lately? Compared to six months ago, your performance has improved leaps and bounds. If you undergo professional training again, I can’t even imagine what you’d achieve."

Shen You’an was undoubtedly a swimming prodigy. Her long limbs and perfectly proportioned body were gifts from above. More crucially, her physical fitness was incredibly superior—she was born to swim.
