Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path-Chapter 634: Wipe the Drool

The opening ceremony and the welcome party were held in the school’s auditorium.

Early on, Gu Lingling was pulled along by Wen Jing. Although there are only four people in their dormitory, they’ve already split into two groups: she and Wen Jing in one, and Tong Sha and Zhang Zhaodi in the other.

Even though they didn’t arrive together, whoever gets there first reserves a seat for the other group.

Today, Gu Lingling arrived relatively early, sitting in the third row near the door. Anyone entering from here would see them immediately.

"I heard there are two speakers representing us freshmen at the opening ceremony tonight, one from the Economics & Management Department and the other from the Chinese Department. Both are said to be pretty impressive," Zhang Zhaodi shared the news she had gathered as soon as she arrived.

"The one from the Chinese Department is rumored to be a beauty," Zhang Zhaodi nudged Gu Lingling, "You two are said to be the most controversial candidates for campus beauty among this year’s freshmen."

The controversy arose because Gu Lingling had a fiancé, which broke many boys’ hearts.

Gu Lingling, "..."

Campus beauty, department flower—she really doesn’t want such pointless titles.

In her view, those are just troubles.

"Don’t talk nonsense," Gu Lingling pushed her, "What’s beautiful or not?"

"Exactly, true beauty is inner beauty," Tong Sha glanced at Gu Lingling and said, "She’s a top student from the Chinese Department."

"Yeah, supposedly her grades are excellent. Her father and brother are teachers at Kyoto University," Zhang Zhaodi relayed more of her findings, "But our Lingling is not bad either."

Also a top student.

Tong Sha didn’t reply.

If she were that good, why isn’t she the one giving the speech on behalf of the freshmen? Clearly, there’s a gap.

Moreover, her family background is something a rural Gu Lingling can’t compare to.

Gu Lingling smiled.

She really isn’t fond of the feeling of being constantly compared. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Look quickly, that’s the Meng Yufei from the Chinese Department," suddenly, Zhang Zhaodi pointed excitedly at a girl not far away, "Indeed, she’s very beautiful. So ethereal."

"Huh? She seems to like wearing white shirts and jeans too," Zhang Zhaodi looked at Gu Lingling beside her.

Could it be that beauties are supposed to dress like this?

Should she consider asking her mom to sew her a white shirt when she gets home? As for jeans, Zhang Zhaodi hesitated, maybe save some money and get a pair?

Gu Lingling didn’t notice Meng Yufei’s clothing; she just felt she had seen that face somewhere before.

But she couldn’t quite remember where.

After Meng Yufei’s arrival caused a commotion, the school’s leaders soon took their seats, "See that male teacher with glasses and a white shirt? That’s Meng Yufei’s brother, also a teacher in our department. And over there, that’s Meng Yufei’s father."

"The whole family is so handsome, no wonder Meng Yufei looks so beautiful."

"Wipe your drool," Wen Jing said disdainfully, "It’s just that she’s a little prettier, look at you."

"She grew up with a silver spoon. If I had family like that, I’d surely be more outstanding than her," Wen Jing commented indifferently.

"But we don’t," Zhang Zhaodi expressed envy.

Take Gu Lingling seated next to her as an example, if she had such a background, she’d definitely be this year’s freshman representative.

Just as those words were spoken, Zhang Zhaodi suddenly pulled her arm and said, "Isn’t it about to start? Why are the principal and others standing up?"

"Could it be that a more important guest is arriving?"
