Chapter 1313: The Mermaid Princess (12)

“It's the smiling girl in this picture. Pretty, right?”

Yin Yao glanced at the screen and his brows furrowed slightly.

Such flawless beauty…

Could she be another member of the Sea Race?

As for how many members of the Sea Race were hiding in this school, even he had no idea.

He encountered them every day anyway.

He had seen through Fuya's identity at a glance. She was a blue-tailed mermaid with a relatively high bloodline, but she wasn't attractive enough to catch his interest.

There were several Sea Race members in his own class as well, but their bloodlines were too low. He couldn't be bothered with them.

“Well, Great Scholar? Stunned by her beauty?” Pei Jiang teased.

Yin Yao shifted his gaze away, picked up his mathematics book, and continued reading.

Seeing this, Pei Jiang regretfully withdrew his phone.

If even a girl this beautiful couldn't move Yin Yao's heart, then who possibly could?

Meanwhile, after seeing the photo on the phone, Qiao Chen became convinced that she was the little mermaid he had been searching for. Without caring about anything else, he rushed straight toward Class Two of Grade One.

The students he passed were bewildered.

When had the calm and composed Qiao Chen ever looked this anxious?

Five minutes later, he had reached the first-year corridor. Just one more classroom, and he would arrive at Class Two.

The girls standing in the hallway were startled by his sudden appearance. Their eyes lit up as they squealed excitedly.

But Qiao Chen ignored them completely.

His heartbeat quickened.

His strides were brisk.

When he finally reached the classroom entrance and looked inside, he immediately spotted the little mermaid he could never overlook.

Even among the crowd, she was the brightest one.

A Guoguo.

They had met again.

They had finally met again.

In this life, he would never doubt her.

He would cherish her properly.

Step by step, he walked into the classroom and approached Tang Guo's desk.

Tang Guo had already noticed him. The moment she saw his expression, she knew he had been reborn rather than possessed by a transmigrator.

So this was the fish murderer?

“A Guoguo.”

Standing before her, Qiao Chen revealed a bright, handsome smile.

“We've met again. Do you still remember me?”

Qiao Chen had always assumed that, just like in his previous life, A Guoguo had been the one who rescued him.

Tang Guo blinked. “Who are you?”

“My name is Qiao Chen. I'm the person you saved from the sea.” His voice was low and gentle, his gaze soft and affectionate, causing the students around them to burst into excited screams.

The new transfer student had just arrived and already the campus prince, Qiao Chen, had fallen for her.

This was huge news.

No wonder people had said Qiao Chen had suddenly rushed off somewhere earlier.

Turns out he had hurried over to see their A Guoguo.

Tang Guo paused before saying calmly, “You must have mistaken me for someone else. I never saved you.”

“No.” Qiao Chen shook his head firmly. “I can't be mistaken. You are my little mermaid.”

That sentence instantly sent the surrounding girls into another frenzy.

Qiao Chen firmly believed that now that he had a second chance, he could change everything.

This time, they would surely have a beautiful ending.

“Get lost.”

Tang Guo frowned, her voice utterly impolite.

“What do you mean, your little mermaid? A low-blooded human like you—how could you possibly be worthy of me?”

After saying that, she lifted her chin proudly and looked down at him with disdain.

“You don't attract me in the slightest. Classmate, please move aside. You're blocking my light.”

“A-Guoguo, you…” Qiao Chen stared blankly at her, completely caught off guard. “I…”

“Your name is Qiao Chen, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then, Student Qiao Chen, please stop disturbing my studies.”
