"Xiaoyue, take a look, there's a super handsome guy in our class now, even more handsome than Charles Reed." Next to Lily Reed, a girl whispered with a smile in her ear. The school beauty Lily Morgan sat there, but no boys dared approach her. The reason was simple: Lily Morgan had a domineering pursuer, Charles Reed.

"No interest!" Lily Morgan remained completely unmoved, shaking her head and replying indifferently.

"Hello everyone, my name is William Parker. From now on, I'll be a member of this class too. Please take care of me!" William Parker smiled as he faced the crowd's attention, his clear voice reaching everyone's ears.

"William Parker, his name is William Parker, and he's joining our class?" A flurry of thoughts flashed through everyone's minds.

"William Parker!" A sudden, pleasant voice rang out, full of surprise. Instantly, all eyes turned to the speaker—it was actually Lily Morgan. The classmates couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment in their gazes.

"William Parker, it's really you! Come sit over here." A look of delighted surprise appeared in Lily Morgan's eyes as she spoke quickly.

Hearing Lily Morgan's words, the crowd's gaze collectively froze, staring blankly at William Parker. Lily Morgan actually invited a boy to sit next to her? This was shocking, unbelievable! In an instant, countless murderous glares focused on William Parker once again.

"Xiaoyue, you're in this class too!" William Parker didn't care at all about the others' stares, addressing her intimately, then walked over to Lily Morgan's seat.

Xiaoyue? That intimate address made everyone freeze again. The eyes of Daniel King and his two friends went wide. First, it was the beautiful counselor Rachel Harris, and now the school beauty Lily Morgan. They exchanged glances, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, and secretly sighed that their new brother was really something. Lifting their feet, the three of them loyally followed William Parker and sat down behind Lily Morgan.

"William Parker, you just said you're a member of our class now?" Lily Morgan asked William Parker.

"Yeah, I'm a transfer student. From now on, we're classmates." William Parker nodded with a smile. Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Lily Morgan's eyes, and she continued, "There are three classes this morning. After class, I'll treat you to lunch, William Parker, you have to come."

When William Parker heard Lily Morgan's words, he couldn't help but glance at the three eavesdropping behind him. Daniel King laughed awkwardly and quickly said, "No can do, we've already told William Parker that we're treating him to a welcome lunch today."

"But..." Daniel King changed his tone, smiling at Lily Morgan, the meaning clear.

"Then I'll join you and help welcome William Parker. Is that okay?" Lily Morgan knew exactly what Daniel King was up to and smiled.

Daniel King pretended to ponder for a moment, while the two beside him pinched his waist hard. After a few seconds, Daniel King finally "reluctantly" said, "Alright, since the beautiful Xiaoyue asked, what else can I say?"

"Daniel King, I don't think we're that close," Lily Morgan said coolly upon hearing his address.

"Beautiful Xiaoyue, what are you saying? William Parker is my brother, and since he calls you Xiaoyue, I should too, otherwise it would seem too distant. Right, Matthew, Brian, don't you agree?" Daniel King shamelessly argued, turning to ask the two beside him, who immediately nodded in agreement.

Lily Morgan nodded. She seemed to be in a good mood today and didn't say anything more, just went along with Daniel King, which left the classmates utterly astonished. They thought to themselves, "Looks like we need to get on good terms with this new transfer student."

"Have you all forgotten about Charles Reed?" The girl next to Lily Morgan suddenly spoke up. William Parker turned his gaze and saw a pretty girl with long, light red hair draped over her shoulders, a meaningful smile in her eyes.

Lily Morgan frowned, glancing at Grace Walker beside her, while Daniel King and his friends' expressions changed slightly.

"Hmph, do we need Charles Reed's permission just to have a meal with classmates? That's way too controlling," Daniel King said coldly.

"Well, you can say that to Charles Reed yourself," Grace Walker replied with a hint of mockery in her eyes. If you want to act tough, you need the strength to back it up.

"Xiaozhen!" Lily Morgan finally couldn't help but speak. "I hope you won't mention him in front of me again."

Grace Walker was slightly stunned. This was the first time Lily Morgan had so seriously told her not to mention Charles Reed. Her gaze shifted to William Parker, and she thought to herself, "Is it because of his arrival?"

"Grace Walker, do you really think no one knows your little secrets? You're just taking Charles Reed's benefits to be a spy next to Xiaoyue, and you still have the nerve to pretend to be a good friend and cling to her. Have some shame," Daniel King mocked Grace Walker mercilessly. If you don't mess with him, fine, but if you do, he won't show any mercy, no matter if you're a guy or a girl.

Hearing Daniel King's words, the classmates all looked at Grace Walker, their gazes turning strange, while Grace Walker's face instantly turned livid as she retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
