Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 966 - 470: Reunion of Old Friends

On Friday, Shen You’an walked into the classroom, attracting a lot of attention.

"An’an, Mr. Xie said you took a leave of absence. I was worried something might have happened to you?"

Jiang Yumo asked with concern.

Shen You’an rarely takes leave, and this time being absent for so long was indeed cause for worry.

"I went back home to handle some things. Thank you for your concern, I’m fine."

You Shiyi leaned in: "An’an, how is Rong Xianning doing now? Is he okay? As a fan, I’m really worried about him."

The relationship between Shen You’an and Rong Xianning is no secret, You Shiyi had even asked Shen You’an for Rong Xianning’s autographed photo before.

Shen You’an remained silent.

"Sigh, I really feel for him. Have you guys seen one of the videos online? Rong Xianning had a miserable childhood; his dad gambled and owed a lot of debts, often abused him. He never wore short sleeves or shorts because of burn marks on his body. He barely escaped, yet couldn’t shake off those vampire-like parents, who dragged him back into the abyss, his dad saddling him with a billion-dollar gambling debt, heard he’s going to repay it over ten years... "

Jiang Yumo had interacted with Rong Xianning last week during a brainstorming event. It hasn’t been long, but now he’s caught in the storm of public opinion. She’s read a lot about him these days, and it’s hard not to sympathize.

She greatly understands Rong Xianning; in life, you can make many choices, but the one you can’t choose is your birth and your parents.

"Does he really have to repay the debt over ten years?"

For a child not yet fifteen years old, this is indeed quite tragic.

But at the same time, it proves his sense of responsibility, which is also the key reason he might win in this public opinion battle.

You Shiyi interrupted: "How could it be fake? Otherwise, how did he manage to come back safe and sound? Those debt collectors wouldn’t show mercy."

"An’an." You Shiyi looked seriously at Shen You’an and said: "If you see Rong Xianning, please be sure to tell him that we fans will always support him."

Shen You’an nodded with equal seriousness: "I will."

At this time, Gu Bichen walked in, and You Shiyi gave Shen You’an and Jiang Yumo a look, returning to her seat.

A busy morning of studying passed quickly, leading to lunchtime.

You Shiyi and Jiang Yumo surrounded Shen You’an on their way to the cafeteria.

You Shiyi, the little gossip adept, glanced behind them, saw there was no one, and then quietly said to the two: "Here’s an explosive piece of news, someone saw Yu Ruohuan undergoing chemotherapy at Mingren Hospital." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Jiang Yumo jumped in shock: "Chemotherapy?"

You Shiyi sneakily looked around again: "Exactly, chemotherapy. No wonder Gu Bichen’s temper has been getting stranger, he’s been moping, and even his grades are falling. Turns out his lover has a terminal illness, that’s really tragic."

You Shiyi glanced at Shen You’an, who had been calm throughout: "An’an, how come you’re not surprised at all? Yu Ruohuan used to bully you quite a bit."

Shen You’an said blandly: "Poetic justice, that’s all."

You Shiyi clapped: "Well said. Yu Ruohuan is rotten to the core, always bullying the weak. Getting a terminal illness at such a young age, isn’t that karma? Looks like the heavens are still very fair."

You Shiyi saw many people gathered around the cafeteria entrance and was a bit surprised: "Why so many people today?"

You Shiyi, liking fun, immediately ditched the two and excitedly ran over.

She quickly ran back, her face flushed with excitement: "It’s Rong Xianning."

Shen You’an raised an eyebrow: "He came to school?"

Rong Xianning naturally passed the entrance exam to De Ren Middle School, joining the best elite class. However, he rarely comes to school because his appearance causes quite the commotion across campus. The hallway outside the classroom is packed, even the school entrance has many fans waiting, causing trouble for the school and Rong Xianning himself.

Especially with Rong Xianning being in the midst of a public opinion storm lately, no one expected him to come to school today.

The Young Talent Class is in a separate teaching building, at some distance from the freshman year’s building. The new De Ren campus has three cafeterias, among which the smallest cafeteria is closest to the Young Talent Class, and usually has few visitors. It’s mainly frequented by Young Talent Class students, and few freshmen visit this cafeteria.

Rong Xianning coming to this cafeteria signifies something, doesn’t it?

He must be here for Shen You’an.

You Shiyi cleared her throat and shouted: "Shen You’an is here."

De Ren Middle School now has two big celebrities: freshman Rong Xianning, and Shen You’an from Young Talent Class.

Though the Young Talent Class is remote with heavy coursework, Shen You’an rarely leaves the teaching building except for meals or restroom breaks. Many students are curious about her, but rarely get to see her.

With You Shiyi’s shout, everyone instantly turned their heads, and excited whispers erupted from the crowd.

These curious ones are mostly freshmen who have long admired Shen You’an and are seeing her for the first time.

The girl coming toward them was wearing the standard student uniform, her slender figure fully revealed. Her medium-length chestnut hair draped over her shoulders, reflecting a gentle light brown in the sun, making her skin appear snowy white.

The girl wore gold-rimmed glasses, emphasizing her small and delicate face, her elegance refined and her demeanor graceful and composed.

Perhaps the sunlight was too glaring, making her features somewhat blurry and hard to discern, but that cool and ethereal aura was like a goddess descending, inspiring reverence alongside admiration.

Shen You’an walked under the gaze of many, long accustomed to such attention, carrying herself as if taking a casual stroll at home.

At a time when most adolescents are not yet fully mature, caught between insecurity and arrogance, manifesting as rebellion and emotional volatility.

Yet Shen You’an seems an exception, perfect like a goddess enshrined, deserving only devotees’ worship.

Such a stark contrast leaves no room for jealousy.

Shen You’an walked through the crowd and saw Rong Xianning buying lunch.

As Rong Xianning turned with his tray, he lifted his gaze and saw Shen You’an.

Their eyes met, and the world seemed to fall silent at that moment.

Shen You’an naturally walked over and greeted him: "Wait for me."

Shen You’an bought a simple meal and sat with Rong Xianning at a corner table.

Their easy, familiar manner left everyone dumbfounded, and besides frantically taking photos and videos, no one dared interrupt.

Such open interaction helped stave off malicious speculation, as the two appeared with no sign of affection, just as old friends reunited, open and sincere.
