Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 919 - 435: Lingering Regrets

After finishing the program recording, Shen You’an didn’t rest and hurried back for the start of school.

On the first day of school, Shen You’an walked into the classroom, drawing everyone’s attention.

This summer, Shen You’an did too many things.

First, he participated in an international mathematics competition, defeating prodigious geniuses to win a highly prestigious championship. He also made time to compete in the World Swimming Championships, winning four consecutive titles, starred in a TV drama that was a hit thanks to his superb acting, and appeared on the most popular national travel variety show, living and dining with big stars from the entertainment industry, sparking envy from all.

Although this variety show attracted a lot of anti-fans for Shen You’an, leading to widespread criticism online.

It is said that a star who hasn’t experienced major backlash cannot become extremely popular.

It is undeniable that Shen You’an became a sensation this summer.

Everyone looked at Shen You’an with different eyes now.

Shen You’an was now a big star.

With the aura of a celebrity and his outstanding appearance and demeanor, even these academic enthusiasts found it hard not to be swooned by his charm.

However, Shen You’an was the same as before, showing no celebrity airs, ignoring the scrutinizing gazes as if they didn’t exist, focusing on what needed to be done.

This made others feel embarrassed, prompting them to remember the tests on the first day, and they quickly seized the time to review.

It was at this moment that Gu Bichen walked into the classroom.

Someone noticed a subtle change in the eldest young master of the Gu family; he used to be gentle and refined like jade, but there was now an indescribable aura about him that was unsettling.

Gu Bichen glanced at Shen You’an but silently returned to his desk to sit.

The relationship between Gu Bichen and Yu Ruohuan had already been known to quite a few people, thanks to Yu Ruohuan’s intentional spreading.

Yuan Tingfang was one of those in the know. Yu Ruohuan gave her a strict order to spread the news across the school as soon as possible after it reopened, making sure to let Shen You’an know. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Yuan Tingfang got up and walked to Gu Bichen, using the excuse of borrowing notes to congratulate him: "I heard you’re with Miss Yu now. Congratulations! I heard your families had an engagement set by your ancestors, and it seems to have come to fruition. Don’t forget to invite me to the wedding feast."

Yuan Tingfang intentionally raised her voice, causing the whole class to fall silent for a moment before erupting into noise.

Gu Bichen and Yu Ruohuan together—what a hellish joke.

Though the families are a good match, the Gu family is prestigious, known for their elegance, and as the sole heir of the Gu family, Gu Bichen’s future wife should be a talented woman full of scholarly appeal. No one ever thought he would be with Yu Ruohuan.

Yu Ruohuan may have a noble status, but her reputation is in shambles, not to mention her lack of talent.

Is Gu Bichen blind?

Shen You’an was also taken aback by the news, looking at Gu Bichen.

She hadn’t paid attention to the two of them recently, and now they were together.

What did Gu Bichen see in this?

Shen You’an instinctively felt something was off, suspecting some unknown inside story.

Someone caught the key point: "An engagement set by ancestors? Is that true?"

Yuan Tingfang looked at Gu Bichen’s composed face, showing no emotion and uncertain of his thoughts, but his lack of objection implied consent.

Yuan Tingfang explained, "Yes, you didn’t know? The marriage between the Gu family and the Yu family was personally arranged by the ancestors over thirty years ago, with a Jade Pendant as proof, so it can’t be faked."

It turned out to be an arranged childhood engagement; everyone, though shocked, quickly accepted it.

After all, although the families differ in style, they are comparable in status, and even if it wasn’t Yu Ruohuan, it wouldn’t be anyone here.

At this moment, Xie Feng walked in, with a stack of test papers under his arm, and everyone tensed up, dismissing all those random thoughts.

Xie Feng put down the test papers first and scanned the room, "The preliminary results of the Bright Cup Physics Competition are out."

Jiang Yumo subconsciously looked at Shen You’an.

This physics competition is of very high level, organized by the National Physics Research Institute, its prestige unparalleled. Of course, its difficulty is also monumental. Five students from the Young Talent Class participated.

No one knows who will make it to the finals.

Xie Feng’s gaze fell on Liu Runxi, "Congratulations to Liu, for advancing to the next round."

The class burst into applause; Liu Runxi was strong in mathematics, but unexpectedly, he wasn’t lagging in physics either.

Liu Runxi nodded slightly with indifference, then buried his head back in his textbook.

Such composure and stoic attitude were enough to earn everyone’s renewed respect.
