Chapter 1083: Chapter 1083: Mountains and Rivers in the Heart and Eyes
Zhou Chengchen was originally reading with her head down, but when she heard a wave of whispers around her, she looked up, and when she did, she was completely taken aback.
The boy on the podium had tightly pressed thin lips, lacking any color, and his eyes were very dark. She wondered if he had a bit of mixed-race ancestry because his features appeared very well-defined.
There was an indescribable quality between his brows and eyes, and for some reason, a phrase popped into Zhou Chengchen’s mind - "With valleys and hills in his heart, his brows and eyes form mountains and rivers."
His dark eyes were like starlight dazzling in the night, and between his brows, he was as clear as the sun and moon held close.
A pair of eyes like this, a face like this, once seen, is hard to forget.
Even though Zhou Chengchen grew up surrounded by handsome guys, upon seeing such a face, such a pair of eyes, her heart couldn’t help but tremble lightly.
"Let me introduce to everyone, this is Xi Siyan, a new classmate transferred to our class. Everyone, please welcome him."
It seems that handsome boys and beautiful girls are naturally given certain advantages over others, such as now, the applause welcoming Xi Siyan was much louder than usual, especially from the girls, who almost clapped their hands red.
"Student Xi, would you like to introduce yourself to everyone?"
Zhang Lei turned his head and spoke, while Xi Siyan calmly turned around, picked up a pen, and wrote the name "Xi Siyan" on the blackboard, then turned back: "Hello, everyone."
His voice carried a cold edge, completely contrasting with the warm aura he exuded.
He just said these three simple words and didn’t speak further.
Zhang Lei scanned the circle below and was momentarily troubled. Originally, there were fifty-five students in the class, so Zhou Chengchen having a desk to herself wasn’t an issue. But now that Xi Siyan had arrived, he either had to sit with Zhou Chengchen or another desk had to be added.
Zhou Chengchen’s temperament was well known to Zhang Lei. After frowning briefly: "You go and sit in that empty seat first, and we’ll arrange a new desk later."
Xi Siyan nodded slightly towards Zhang Lei: "Thank you, teacher."
After speaking, he headed straight toward Zhou Chengchen’s direction, with all eyes upon him, including Zhou Chengchen’s. When he reached Zhou Chengchen’s desk, those beautiful brows furrowed inadvertently.
Almost immediately, Zhou Chengchen collected all her messy scattered things on that side with a clatter.
"Thank you."
Xi Siyan replied with those two indifferent words, then sat down.
"Alright, everyone, now open your books."
Zhang Lei lightly coughed on the podium, commanding authority without needing to raise his voice.
However, for this period, obviously, all attention was focused on Xi Siyan and Zhou Chengchen.
There was envy and jealousy, but also worry and concern.
Considering Zhou Chengchen’s temperament, after nearly three months, everyone more or less knew her. Some envied her for being able to sit with Xi Siyan, but more were worried about whether Xi Siyan, having encountered the big demon, could maintain his handsome face.
They naturally couldn’t know that as the person involved, Zhou Chengchen’s heart thumped madly for an entire class. Whatever was said from the podium, she didn’t know; she only knew that a faint lemon fragrance continuously lingered in her nostrils.
Very fresh, very pleasant.
And from the corner of her eye, she could see the side profile of Xi Siyan’s face, his hand.
Zhou Chengchen gritted her teeth hard; how could a boy’s hands be so beautiful?
Slender and fair, comparable to Sheng Yanxiao’s, yet seemingly larger, with more pronounced veins.
And the little bone protruding on his wrist, Zhou Chengchen swallowed hard; damn, she wanted to hold it so much.
