Chapter 133 Is the Ancestral Offering Spirit an "Ugly Duckling"?
The next morning, sunlight streamed in through the dormitory windows.
The four were awakened by their biological clocks or hangovers. With sleepy eyes, they quickly washed up and headed to the cafeteria to replenish their energy.
The cafeteria was already bustling with activity, filled with the aroma of soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and noodles.
Ye Fan ordered a bowl of steaming duck blood vermicelli soup, Li Yifeng generously ordered a large plate of fried dumplings with porridge, Shi Kai munched on a meat bun, and Ji Yuhao pickily chose the cleanest-looking window to buy a sandwich and milk.
The four of them wolfed down their food, preparing themselves for the new day.
After breakfast, the four of them followed the flow of people to the classroom of Class 2, Department of Business Administration.
The corridor was filled with freshmen, all with faces full of curiosity and anticipation.
Pushing open the classroom door, I found that quite a few people were already seated inside.
There were already quite a few people in the class at this point.
Most of them were talking to each other, and every time someone came in, they all turned their heads to look at each other curiously, wondering what kind of bear they would be classmates for four years.
As Ye Fan and his three companions entered the classroom, they instantly attracted most of the attention.
Ye Fan, in particular, stood out in the morning light with his tall and handsome figure, and several girls even whispered among themselves.
However, Ye Fan paused almost imperceptibly at the doorway.
The vague premonition I had last night was confirmed by the scene before my eyes!
His gaze swept quickly across the faces in the classroom.
Most of them are strangers, which is normal.
But in that unfamiliar place, he accurately spotted several faces that should never have been there, yet were incredibly familiar!
It's the butterfly effect again!
First, the three "old buddies" from his previous life in the dormitory miraculously reunited. Now, walking into this classroom, he unexpectedly saw two familiar faces who had significant interactions with him in his previous life!
"Old Ye? What are you spacing out for? Come on!" Seeing Ye Fan standing frozen at the door, Li Yifeng quickly tugged at his arm and pulled him toward an empty seat in the back row.
Pulled by this, Ye Fan quickly snapped out of his shock, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and regained his calm expression.
Following Li Yifeng's lead, he and his roommates walked to the back row of the classroom.
The four of them sat down side by side, occupying a row of seats by the window.
Li Yifeng turned to the side, lowered his voice, and asked with concern, "Old Ye, what's wrong with you just now? What are you looking at? Your face looks a little off."
Ye Fan took a deep breath, the green of the sycamore trees outside the window coming into view. He tried to make his tone sound relaxed and normal: "It's nothing, it's just... I suddenly thought of something and got distracted."
He couldn't explain the astonishment that stemmed from a sense of temporal and spatial disorientation.
"Oh!" Li Yifeng didn't think much of it. His attention was quickly drawn to the back of a pretty girl in the front row, and he started winking at Shi Kai.
Ye Fan leaned back in his chair, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping across the classroom, but out of the corner of his eye, he kept a close eye on the two "unexpected guests".
The gears of fate seemed to be turning with a creaking sound in a way he had never anticipated.
One of them, named Su Luming, is a native of Nanjing.
She has a bright smile, lively eyes, and exudes a warm and energetic aura, occasionally revealing a touch of cleverness and quirkiness.
Ye Fan knew that her abilities were definitely among the best in the class.
In her previous life, she entered the core of the student union in her sophomore year, joined the Party before graduation, and directly entered the system after graduating with her bachelor's degree, where she developed smoothly.
This is a girl with extremely clear goals and meticulous thinking. She has a plan and unique insights into her life path that surpass those of her peers.
In his previous life, Ye Fan and she had quite a few interactions. She was the class monitor of the Industrial Management Class 2, while Ye Fan had a good relationship with the instructor at the time and often needed to handle class affairs together, which led to a lot of interaction and cooperation between them.
The other one is the ancestral spirit.
When Ye Fan first heard this name in his previous life, he was amazed by its classical, otherworldly beauty.
However, when he first saw the real person, the huge difference made him almost blurt out, "What a pity for such a good name."
Because at that time, the ancestral spirit was wearing extremely loose, dark-colored, and ill-fitting clothes. His face seemed to be deliberately painted dark and dull, and he even wore an old mask that covered most of his face. With his thick bangs and a pair of clumsy black-rimmed glasses, he looked dull, sloppy, and even somewhat deliberately "ugly".
This continued until her junior year of college, when someone accidentally discovered her disguise.
It turns out that the "ugliness" that everyone wanted to avoid was a carefully designed camouflage! She hid her exquisite figure under loose clothes and concealed her amazing 36D... When she took off her disguise, changed out of that "armor", and revealed her exquisite figure and stunning face hidden by loose clothing, the entire Nanjing University was in an uproar.
Her true beauty was unparalleled; her exquisite features and aloof, otherworldly aura instantly overshadowed all the school beauties, including Pei Yi'an.
If Pei Yi-an's beauty is a 90-point score of pure and refined elegance, then Xian Zuling's beauty is a 98-point score of breathtaking beauty, widely recognized as the most beautiful girl in Nanjing University's history, without exception.
Ye Fan, who first saw her true face in his junior year of college in his previous life, was deeply in love with Tian Ranling at the time, and the shocking beauty he felt was unforgettable.
Who wouldn't be captivated by such a stunning woman?
At this moment, the spirit of the ancestors was huddled in the corner of the last row of the classroom, close to the wall, trying to hide itself in the small space, as if this would block out all the eyes of the outside world.
However, her presence was not diminished as a result. Many students looked at her with curiosity, inquiry or a little distance, and whispers could be faintly heard.
Ye Fan and his three roommates in dormitory 208 were in the same row as Xian Zuling.
Ye Fan's gaze lingered on her for a moment, and he understood. Without making a sound, he switched places with Shi Kai, who was sitting next to him, and went straight to sit next to the ancestral spirit.
This action caused Xian Zuling's body to tense up instantly, her head lowered even further, her long bangs almost completely covering her eyes, and her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, revealing obvious unease and panic.
Why did he sit down next to me? What does he want to do?
Li Yifeng and Shi Kai exchanged a surprised and confused look, then muttered in a low voice, "What's Old Ye doing? He's not actually interested in... uh, this student, is he?"
Xiao Ji frowned without any attempt to hide it, and immediately got up and sat in Ye Fan's original seat, his actions revealing a clear sense of distance.
Just then, Ye Fan turned to the side and extended his hand to the girl beside him in a calm and natural tone: "Hello, my name is Ye Fan."
