Chapter 134 People Born for the System
Xian Zuling's body trembled again, but out of basic courtesy, she had to raise her head.
Her gaze swept quickly across Ye Fan's gentle face before swiftly lowering again, her voice barely audible: "Hello... my name is Xian Zuling."
She touched Ye Fan's finger very briefly and symbolically before recoiling as if electrocuted, hiding herself back in the shadows of the corner.
Ye Fan didn't mind her hesitation, and instead said gently, "Xian Zuling, has anyone ever told you that your eyes are beautiful?"
He noticed that even when the heavy bangs and glasses covered his eyes, they were still clear and bright the moment he looked up, like a gem covered in dust.
The spirit of the ancestors did not answer; it simply buried its head even deeper.
She had built a high wall around her heart, filled with extreme anxiety about the outside world and an instinct for self-preservation.
This reclusive state seemed strange to others, and her deliberate attire made her stand out from the crowd.
Ye Fan's question was like a pebble thrown into a deep pool, causing ripples in the lake of her heart, but she dared not respond.
At this time.
The classroom door was pushed open.
A young man, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, walked in.
He was dressed in a neat shirt and trousers, his face showing a hint of naiveté from being a first-time counselor, along with an effort to maintain composure.
He is Jiang Fan, the instructor of Class 2, Industrial Management.
Jiang Fan was actually a complete newbie, having just graduated with a master's degree from a university in another province and been assigned to Nanjing University as a counselor. This was his first job.
Jiang Fan stood on the podium, looked around, and seeing that most people had arrived, cleared his throat: "Everyone, please be quiet!"
The buzzing in the classroom gradually subsided.
He gave a gentle smile: "Hello students, my name is Jiang Fan, and I will be your advisor for the next four years of university life. You can call me Teacher Jiang. First of all, on behalf of the school and the college, I warmly welcome you all! I am also very honored to be able to form this big family with you all in Class 2 of Industrial Management."
He waved the roster in his hand: "Next, we'll proceed with the traditional procedure for new student enrollment—roll call and self-introductions! Students whose names are called, please come up to the stage and briefly introduce yourselves so everyone can get to know you. Let's start with the first one!"
After saying that, he opened the roster and began calling out names: "Cai Kun."
"arrive!"
A rather handsome young man stood up in response and walked to the podium with a fairly composed gait.
But as soon as he stood in the center of the stage, facing dozens of focused gazes from below, his face flushed red, and he appeared somewhat flustered. His voice also softened: "H-Hello everyone, my name is Cai Kun, and I'm from Hunan. I...I like singing, dancing, rapping...and I also like playing basketball..."
He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
The students in the audience didn't think anything was special; they just felt that the boy seemed a little nervous.
Only Ye Fan's lips twitched involuntarily, and he thought to himself, "Good heavens, this has all the necessary elements... Could it be that I've encountered the 'trainee' template ahead of time?"
The label of a certain phenomenal internet celebrity from his past life flashed through his mind in an instant.
"Okay, thank you, Cai Kun. Next, Su Luming!" Jiang Fan continued calling out names.
A neatly dressed girl with a sunny and generous demeanor stood up in response and walked briskly to the podium.
After she stood still, her gaze swept across the entire class. Her smile was confident and infectious, and her voice was clear and loud: "Hello everyone! My name is Su Luming, Su as in Su Dongpo, and Luming as in the mournful cry of deer. I'm a native of Nanjing, and I'm very happy to meet you all at Nanjing University, in Class 2 of Industrial Management! I enjoy making friends and am happy to serve you all. I hope we can work hard together and make progress together over the next four years! Thank you!"
Her introduction was concise and clear, and she was poised and generous, leaving a deep impression on people instantly—confident, capable, and approachable, she naturally possessed a leadership quality that could unite people.
Ye Fan nodded inwardly. He was a natural-born leader, well-suited for working within the system.
.....
After Li Yifeng, Shi Kai, and Ji Yuhao from dormitory 208 finished introducing themselves, the next name was called.
"Ye Fan".
The moment the name was uttered, a chorus of suppressed gasps and whispers erupted in the classroom.
"Ye Fan? Is he really the top scorer in the college entrance examination?"
"Oh my god! He's really in our class?"
"The forum said he was incredibly handsome... Oh, it's him! He really is handsome!"
"Giving up Tsinghua and Peking University to come here, this guy is really something else!"
Ye Fan stood up amidst a crowd of onlookers and calmly walked to the podium.
As he passed by Xian Zuling, Xian Zuling slightly raised her head and quickly glanced at his back through the gaps in her hair.
When Ye Fan spoke to her earlier, she vaguely guessed that he might be the brilliant top scholar on the banner at the school gate, but the sudden contact left her mind blank.
now.
Watching him confidently walk to the podium amidst the attention of everyone, seeing his dazzling presence as if he had his own halo, a faint trace of envy involuntarily appeared in her eyes, a feeling she herself was unaware of.
But soon, that envious feeling was replaced by a stronger anxiety.
Next up, it'll be her turn to go on stage soon!
The thought of being exposed to everyone's gaze filled her with immense unease, and her palms became sweaty.
Ye Fan stood on the podium, picked up a piece of chalk, turned around and wrote two powerful characters on the blackboard: Ye Fan.
Then he turned around to face the whole class, a relaxed smile on his lips: "Hello everyone, I'm Ye Fan. Um... if you've seen the banner at the school gate recently, that Ye Fan in it is most likely me."
"Hahaha!"
A burst of good-natured laughter erupted from the audience, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.
This top scorer isn't a bookworm at all; he's actually quite humorous! He can crack jokes, and he's so handsome—it's irresistible!
Ye Fan raised his hand and pressed down lightly, then continued, "As for my hobbies... well, mainly I love studying."
He paused deliberately, then winked. "Of course, the scope of learning is quite broad. For example, surfing the internet counts as learning new knowledge, right? Playing games to improve teamwork and reaction skills also counts as learning, right? And..."
He deliberately dragged out his words to pique everyone's curiosity, "Hmm... I'm quite interested in learning what normal guys like."
He shrugged, giving off a "we all know" look.
"Pfft... Hahaha!" A louder burst of laughter erupted from the audience.
Even Jiang Fan, who was standing to the side, was amused.
This top scorer is so down-to-earth! Jiang Fan looked at Ye Fan and felt much more relaxed. After all, he had only graduated not long ago and the generation gap with this group of new students was not too deep.
