The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 68: The More Women, the More Trouble

Wang Miaomiao pretended not to hear, walked straight to her desk by the window, and put down the book in her hand. She was just about to organize her belongings when she heard soft yet irritating words by her ear...

"Miao Miao, don’t be mad, Jia Jia didn’t mean it, she wasn’t talking about you..."

Wang Miaomiao listened to this, feeling terribly annoyed. She originally thought Liu Ying was a cute girl, but it turns out she’s just a little flower. She had judged incorrectly...

She turned her head to look at her, with a slight smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, carelessly leaning against the small desk and said, "You say she wasn’t talking about me, then why should I be mad? Li Jiajia, were you talking about me just now?"

Wang Miaomiao turned to look at Li Jiajia, with a hint of cold smile in her eyes, showing no sign of displeasure on her face. Yet, with this expression, there was an indefinable aura that commanded respect, making her hard to ignore.

Confronted in person, Li Jiajia didn’t expect Wang Miaomiao to be so straightforward. But to truly admit she was talking about her was inappropriate. She’s impulsive and unafraid of stirring trouble, but she’s not a fool—she didn’t want to sour relationships before school officially starts. If her dad found out, she’d definitely get scolded.

Li Jiajia forced a smile, "Of course not talking about you." After saying that, she looked at Liu Ying with blame in her eyes. Really, why bring up something that’s better left unsaid? They both understood, a little gossip was fine, but why apologize so clumsily?

"Is that so? That’s good then." Wang Miaomiao raised a bigger smile upon hearing that, sincerely said to Liu Ying, "Liu Ying, you’re supposed to be best friends with Li Jiajia, yet you have no sense of tacit understanding. Hearing your words, they seemed contradictory, making it hard for people not to misinterpret. You shouldn’t gossip like that next time, it might cause misunderstandings about Li Jiajia, how wrongful it would be..."

Li Jiajia’s expression darkened further upon hearing this. She looked at Liu Ying with an investigative gaze.

"Uh... Is that so? Maybe I expressed it wrong. Jia Jia, Miao Miao, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault." Liu Ying felt a jolt inside and quickly apologized weakly.

The minor dispute among the three was watched by others, each having their own thoughts, which Wang Miaomiao couldn’t discern at the moment.

"Alright, we’re all classmates, some things should be talked through." Ren Caihong, who lived in the top bunk above Li Jiajia, got down from her bunk and stood in front of the wardrobe, turning to everyone and said, "Now that everyone from dorm 202 is here, let’s do a self-introduction. I’ll go first, I’m Ren Caihong, from Red River Town Red River Middle School, placed into Class One, my parents are teachers, and I was class president in middle school. I’m done, who wants to introduce themselves next?"

Wang Miaomiao heard her words and smiled slightly, "I’ll go, I’m Wang Miaomiao, from Red Star Town Red Star Middle School, also Class One, my family are proud farmers. It’s nice to meet everyone and I hope we can peacefully coexist, help each other, and make progress together in the next two years." These are her heartfelt words, so please don’t stir up trouble.

"Are you that Wang Miaomiao who was first in the city?" Ren Caihong looked at her with an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

"Yes." Wang Miaomiao smiled and nodded, showing no modesty. After all, she is the first and will continue to maintain that position, so don’t provoke her.

No matter the era, the strong always have admirers and haters, but there are more who worship, look up to, and intimidate... just don’t provoke easily.

"Nice to meet you." Ren Caihong’s expression changed briefly but then she managed it and showed a bright smile, indeed someone who was once a class president, her expressions were well-manager.

After the first couple of introductions, others followed suit.

Liu Ying and Li Jiajia are both locals, with Li Jiajia’s father being the Deputy Director of the Youth Office and Liu Ying’s father being his subordinate officer, which explains the delicate relationship between them. Li Jiajia was placed in Class One, Liu Ying in Class Two.

Wang Miaomiao noticed a subtle reaction when Li Jiajia was mentioned to be placed in Class One.

Zheng Hongmei, who swapped beds with Li Jiajia, was placed in Class Two.

The other lower and upper bunk mates, Liu Yu, Chen Yuping, and Deng Sanmei are all in Class Three.

Provincial High implements elite education, with a limited number of new students admitted each year, only four classes with 160 students, their dorm spans three classes.

"Good afternoon, students, please promptly report to your respective classes, please promptly report to your respective classes," announced the loudspeaker in the campus, repeating three times.

"Let’s go," Ren Caihong spoke.

They didn’t dawdle and quickly headed toward the academic building. Class One for freshmen was located on the ground floor left side, adjacent to the teachers’ office.

Entering the classroom, they saw a balding middle-aged man standing by the podium, with wire-framed glasses on his face, lips curling into a smile, looking like a scholar without temper.

"Hello, teacher..."

"Hello, students, everyone sit as you please."

The encounter was amicable, a promising start.

Already in high school, at this age, everyone understands avoiding awkward situations, so when choosing seats, the guys sat with the guys, girls with girls.

Upon entering the class, Li Jiajia immediately sat with Ren Caihong.

Wang Miaomiao just smiled and found an empty spot to sit down.

"Wang Miaomiao, great, we’re still in the same class." A cheerful voice rang out.

Wang Miaomiao looked up and, indeed, she met an acquaintance. "Yes, Zhou Hu."

Zhou Hu was very happy, directly sat behind her. He looked at the bow in her hair and smiled joyously from the heart. It’s nice; they can be together for another two years.

"Oh, Wang Miaomiao, Zhou Hu, didn’t expect to be in the same class as you guys." Another acquaintance?

"Were you from Red Star Class Two?" Wang Miaomiao found the girl familiar but couldn’t recall her name.

Lu Xuemei laughed and said, "Yeah, I was Wang Jia Bao’s desk mate before. Didn’t expect to sit with his sister now, so lucky. I’m Lu Xuemei, nice to meet you." As she spoke, she was already sitting beside Wang Miaomiao.

Wang Miaomiao saw clarity in her eyes and blossomed a radiant smile. Though not particularly attractive, her honest smile added charm, making people feel close. She hoped she didn’t misjudge this time...

"Nice to meet you, thank you for taking care of my brother before."

"N-no, he didn’t need me at all..." As she said this, a blush suddenly appeared on Lu Xuemei’s face, her eyes showing a mix of shyness and disappointment... slightly avoiding Wang Miaomiao’s curious gaze.
