Becoming a life winner from infancy

```

The news sent all the students present, especially the girls, into a frenzy.

"The underclassman should be on the coach bus this time, right!"

"Why does he show up only now! I've been waiting so long I've practically gone through the Taylor expansion of a multivariable function, and differentiated it countless times already."

"I know you're in a hurry, hurry, hurry, but stop rushing and standing there like an idiot! Go help the underclassman with his luggage! Any later and you won't even get to touch a hair on his head."

"You're, you're right!"

The girls swarmed over like fans at a meet-and-greet, forming a welcoming line, some even going so far as to display extravagant electronic placards bearing the underclassman's name.

But Song Xiaotao didn't join them; she remained quietly seated in her original spot.

"You really are special."

"That's because, I still have work to do." Song Xiaotao blushed as she began taking notes.

It was at this moment that Jiang Huashu propped his chin up and started to appreciate the girl before him.

"Having heard so much from you, I've realized something."

"What's that..."

"I feel——you've never been properly loved."

"I... I think it's okay, no one has been that bad to me, I——"

"No, it's not okay at all! Ah, um..."

Jiang Huashu took a step back, then his demeanor became more respectful.

"It might sound offensive, but um... what I mean is——"

His eyes filled with sincerity, Jiang Huashu said, "You deserve someone who will love you properly, recognize your brilliance, and notice the things that make you different."

"But, I'm just an ordinary girl, nothing impressive."

Song Xiaotao said, "I've never even won a gold medal in a Math Olympiad, which is quite shameful at Zhendan Academy, isn't it? After all, everyone is so talented, they all..."

"Ah, you haven't won a gold medal before?"

"Yes..."

Disappointment flickered in Jiang Huashu's eyes at that moment, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Well... how should I put it? Even though Zhendan Academy's girls are all talented, I think you have a unique kind of talent."

"It's this gentle strength of yours, you know, Xiaotao."

Jiang Huashu said as he extended his hand towards Xiaotao, their fingertips just a centimeter apart.@@novelbin@@

He, he wants to hold my hand!

I've never been held by a boy my age before.

Song Xiaotao might be a loser, but she could feel it.

I can't just keep waiting for him to take the initiative.

Because Jiang Huashu is a very gentle person.

He wouldn't force me to do anything I don't want to do.

But I can feel that he really likes me.

This feeling, it must be nice.

If——

I can really have a sweet romance with him, how happy I would be!

Even if I am considered a loser at Zhendan Academy, after the college entrance exams, I can only go to a mediocre 985 university, lose touch with my classmates at Zhendan, be ostracized and deemed unworthy of their company.

Jiang Huashu...

Maybe he will always be by my side.

Song Xiaotao covered her wildly beating heart with one hand and slowly extended the other towards Jiang Huashu's fingertips.

Can I, can I be in a relationship with such a gentle, handsome, and talented guy?

Do I really deserve it?

His reputation is so poor; what if he is just playing with my feelings?

But, if only for one day.

If he can love me properly, treat me like his girlfriend, like a lover.

Then, I, I just...

I don't know if I should continue anymore.

Meanwhile, a smile slowly emerged on the corners of Jiang Huashu's lips.

Sure enough, I still got it.

A few sweet words and I've got this innocent girl wrapped around my finger.

Sigh, although she's a bit slow and I'm a bit concerned about the no-gold-medal thing, I'm sure she's never been touched by a man before.

It will certainly be a unique flavor when we get intimate, heh heh...

This time, my tally will have to be bumped up significantly.

Just as Song Xiaotao was secretly conceding her heart to Jiang Huashu's tender offensive, confused and infatuated, suddenly a series of explosive booming sounds came from the sky.

...

Both of them were stunned for a moment.

At first, they thought it was tinnitus.

But the rumbling of the thrusters grew closer and closer.

Against the backdrop of the setting sun, the object that appeared from beyond the sunset gradually revealed its true shape.

That spherical figure.

Is it, is it a UFO?

No, that's not right... that is——

A wingless, spherical, miniature manned flying vehicle!

Setting aside how exactly this flying device was propelled, it was clear to the naked eye that it was heading straight for where Song Xiaotao and Jiang Huashu were!

No, no no——can it be? Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire

From the flying vehicle, there came a whistling broadcast, the voice clear and sprightly, unmistakably that of a beautiful young girl.

"Quick, move, move, move! The flying vehicle is malfunctioning; I'm preparing for an emergency landing!"

!!!!

While Song Xiaotao was still bewildered by the sudden turn of events, Jiang Huashu had already sprinted far away at the speed of a hundred-meter dash.

Ah.

Hey! This no-gold-medalist loser's brain really doesn't work right!

At the same time, as Song Xiaotao watched Jiang Huashu flee, her pupils lost their luster, and her outstretched hand also dropped.

I really don't deserve to be loved.

No one will truly love me.

Someone as insignificant as me.

Perhaps, it would be better off dead...

Just as Song Xiaotao was giving up all hope, tears closed her eyes, waiting for death to come at this critical moment.

Someone gently took her by the shoulder.

Before Song Xiaotao could react, she was pulled into an embrace.
