Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Was I Seeing Things?
"Sister’s waist isn’t a waist, it’s the curve of The Reaver’s scimitar. Sister’s legs aren’t legs, they’re the spring waters of The Sernis Riverbank. Damn, with lyrics like that, it’s really evocative."
"Is she a student from our school? If she is, then our school beauty is going to get knocked off her throne."
"Keep your voice down, don’t you see the school beauty is right in front of us? Weren’t you friendly with her before, trying to use her to get into the Keaton Group’s bio lab? Aren’t you afraid she’ll hear you talking about her and deliberately make things difficult for you?"
"Right, right, why didn’t I think of that? Our school beauty doesn’t just have looks, she’s got brains and knowledge too. Not just anyone can compare to her."
"But seriously, that girl’s looks are unreal. I made a point to get a closer look just now, and she’s not even wearing makeup!"
"Really no makeup? I have to see for myself..."
In any case, both guys and girls were trying hard to move towards where July Quinn was, stirring up quite a commotion.
On the other side, Joy Quinn was clutching her books, ready to head to her classroom for today’s lesson.
Seeing a crowd gathered on one side, she furrowed her brow slightly.
"What’s going on today?"
"I heard there’s a new transfer student at our school, really beautiful."
Joy Quinn’s little sidekick, Willow Young, had already figured out the situation.
"Really beautiful? How beautiful?"
Joy Quinn had been drinking Chinese herbal medicine for over half a year to get fair skin, along with secretly undergoing a few tweaks, going through a lot to claim the title of school beauty, so she was fully aware of the threat.
If someone truly was more beautiful than she is, she’d have to find a way to drive that person out of school.
"Don’t worry, no matter how beautiful, they can’t shake your spot as school beauty, Joy. These days, how many beauties can be like you, not just looking good but also being smart and talented? You’re only a sophomore, and you’ve already been accepted into the Keaton Group’s bio lab."
Willow Young was flattering Joy Quinn but didn’t forget to add: "Oh, and Joy, when you get into the Keaton Group’s bio lab, don’t forget to pave the way for me. If it doesn’t work out, then just introduce me to one of the researchers there as a boyfriend."
Indeed, Willow Young had been flattering Joy Quinn so much because she was planning for her own future.
"Don’t worry, our friendship is solid, I won’t forget you even if I forget everyone else."
As Joy Quinn and Willow Young were laughing, suddenly across the crowd, a familiar figure caught her eye.
July Quinn?!
In just an instant, Joy Quinn felt her blood freeze over.
Why is she in Esteria?
And why is she at her school?
Could it be that the new transfer student Willow mentioned is July Quinn?
No...
Impossible!
Wasn’t July Quinn known for her sloppy handwriting?
Someone like her couldn’t possibly get into First University of Esteria.
This is the top university in the country, where countless students would break their necks to get in.
July Quinn doesn’t even have a legitimate academic background, how could she enter this coveted hall of scholars?
Right, she must have mistaken someone else for July.
"Joy, what’s wrong?"
Willow Young had walked several steps before noticing Joy hadn’t followed and came back.
"Nothing, I think I was just seeing things."
Joy Quinn said so, but noticed that in the crowd, July Quinn’s gaze was also directed toward her.
In that moment of eye contact, all of the denials and wishful thinking in Joy Quinn’s mind vanished, because she could confirm without a doubt, it was indeed July Quinn, more real than a pearl.
