Hong Kong 1980: Me and the Queen Swapped Clothes

Ordinary schools focus on college entrance exams, so looks aren't the main concern. Even with someone like Joey Wong, people are only curious about her out of a gossipy nature.

Once the initial curiosity wears off, people go back to doing what they were doing, and everyone's focus remains on grades; only those with good grades will attract everyone's attention.

"Students at arts schools are usually selected primarily based on their physical appearance, so most people look at their appearance. This means that being good-looking is equivalent to being an academically excellent student. You're essentially a double winner—good-looking and academically gifted. Do you understand?"

Qin Weiming spoke, feeling he had said everything he could. As for Wang Zuxian, she finally understood why she felt she was receiving more attention after arriving here.

"You don't need to feel uncomfortable, because as long as you are good enough, more people will pay attention to you. This is an eternal truth that applies everywhere. Would you blame yourself for being too strong? When playing basketball, doesn't everyone focus their attention on the player with the strongest offense and try to defend against them?" Qin Weiming asked Wang Zuxian.

Wang Zuxian seemed to suddenly realize something and immediately nodded. She understood the meaning behind Qin Weiming's words: "I understand what you mean. It is indeed as you said. I shouldn't dwell on this too much. But just like what I said before, I think what you said is correct. It's not like what those people say, which just makes people feel confused and overwhelmed."

This is also why Joey Wong liked being with Qin Weiming. Whenever she had any questions or curiosities, Qin Weiming could always explain them to her in a few simple words.

Moreover, she often couldn't understand what others said about Joey Wong, but she could understand what Qin Weiming said.

At this moment, Tung Chee-hwa saw Qin Weiming chatting happily with Joey Wong, and he was itching to go and chat with other pretty girls. However, when the other female classmates saw him, most of them just smiled and that was the end of it.

Although everyone was very polite, for a guy like Tung Chee-hwa who isn't particularly attractive, he certainly wouldn't be very popular in an environment full of handsome men.

To be honest, Tung Chee-hwa really couldn't do anything about it. His family had some money, but not a lot. He was able to get in here because he had a relative who was the director of the political education department, and he also had good grades in academic subjects.

Most of the girls here come from well-off families and wouldn't think much of Tung Chee-hwa just because of this small difference in their social standing, so Tung Chee-hwa's attempts to win their favor were naturally in vain.

"Sigh, this guy, he just stays right next to the prettiest one and won't budge." Tung Chee-hwa could only feel envy and jealousy towards Qin Weiming's treatment. In his opinion, Qin Weiming wasn't particularly handsome, but he could chat with Joey Wong, and judging from their familiar relationship, ordinary people simply couldn't get in.

It's obvious that Qin Weiming must have known Wang Zuxian beforehand; I wonder where he got the inside information.

While Tung Chee-hwa expressed his envy of Qin Weiming, everyone else was also paying attention to the couple. Then, when the seats were assigned, many boys secretly tried to squeeze next to Qin Weiming, attempting to take the seat where Wang Zuxian sat next to them.

After all, Joey Wong only had one deskmate.

Then, the seat fell to another unfamiliar male classmate.

Judging from his blank stare at Joey Wong, unable to speak, he was clearly stunned by this stroke of good fortune.

Then, Joey Wong frowned and said, "I'll go find the teacher. Either let me sit with you, or I'll ask to sit alone."

She still felt a bit disgusted by these boys. The way they looked at her was like that of wolves and tigers, as if they wanted to devour her. Although most of them knew how to restrain themselves, these looks still made Wang Zuxian very uncomfortable.

In contrast, Qin Weiming never showed such a look in his eyes from beginning to end.

Then, Joey Wong went out to find her teacher, and Qin Weiming naturally followed. He couldn't let the girl go to find her teacher alone.

"Alright, Wang Zuxian and Qin Weiming will sit at the same table. The rest of you shouldn't object. They've already agreed on this. You can also find a girl you've agreed on with." The teacher returned and announced the decision, clearly harboring some inexplicable resentment.

She probably felt that the teacher's authority was being challenged, but Wang Zuxian had already made it clear that she didn't like sitting with other people, so she should sit alone. The teacher couldn't say anything in response.

After all, Joey Wong's beauty is undeniable. Even the experienced art school teachers have been discussing it all morning, saying that a top beauty has come to the school.

With looks like Wang Zuxian's, she's always the talk of the town wherever she goes. But what they didn't expect was that there was already a male classmate in this class who was quite close to Wang Zuxian.

Moreover, judging from Qin Weiming's demeanor, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not seem particularly excited or thrilled about sitting next to Wang Zuxian, which put the teacher at ease a little.

He also sized up the two of them. They didn't seem to be in a puppy love relationship. Their expressions were open and honest, without any excessive shyness or embarrassment. For teachers, this kind of thing is something that can be detected at a glance.

In the end, the teacher didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she paired Wang Zuxian and Qin Weiming together. As for the male student who had just been assigned to sit next to Wang Zuxian, he suddenly experienced the feeling of going from the peak to the bottom and almost cried.

I wonder if he even thought of a name for the child in those brief five minutes.

Under such preferential treatment, when Tung Chee-hwa was later assigned to sit next to Qin Weiming, the three of them were in a group, and Tung Chee-hwa was so happy that he almost grinned from ear to ear.

In Qin Weiming's mind, starting their life as deskmates was a trivial matter that wouldn't cause any major problems.

After all, he and Joey Wong were already acquainted before, and their relationship was quite good. Even if Joey Wong didn't have a strong liking for him, the fact that she was willing to sit with him showed that he had maintained their friendship well.

That's why, when Qin Weiming and Tung Chee-hwa sat together, Joey Wong sat on the innermost wall. Although many people would often stop by the window to look for Joey Wong, they couldn't find her because Qin Weiming was blocking their view.

"This guy is just too lucky, I can't be envious." Dong Jianhua gradually discovered Qin Weiming's advantage. For some reason, it seems that from the first day when everyone introduced themselves, Qin Weiming successfully made the whole class laugh with his humorous words.

He impressed all the girls in the class. His tact and humor in daily conversations often made the girls like to chat with him. Gradually, Qin Weiming's popularity in the class began to rise, even surpassing that of another handsome boy in the class.

Xiao Shuai is actually more handsome than Qin Weiming. After all, Xiao Shuai is 1.8 meters tall and has thick eyebrows and big eyes, which gives him a significant advantage over Qin Weiming, whose looks can only be described as pretty.

However, a month later, public opinion reversed. Xiao Shuai was impulsive and reckless, and he didn't leave room for others when he spoke. He had already argued with people in class several times, and both boys and girls had a lower opinion of him.

Under these circumstances, Qin Weiming's popularity skyrocketed, and the number of girls giving him love letters and breakfasts doubled.

Tung Chee-hwa was filled with envy and jealousy. Why didn't he receive such a warm welcome? He thought about those girls; even when he took the initiative to chat with them, they would politely refuse.

But if Qin Weiming were to step forward, they would act as if they were flattered.

This disparity in treatment always led Tung Chee-hwa to pester Qin Weiming for more tips, but Qin Weiming simply told him to read more books.

Tung Chee-hwa was so angry he wanted to curse. His academic performance was already among the top ten in his class, so how much more did he need to study?

As for these, Qin Weiming could only scoff. How could Dong Jianhua's top ten ranking be considered anything special? There weren't many students who studied hard in art schools. Even Wang Zuxian's grades could be considered excellent here.

Yes, it's not that Qin Weiming looks down on Wang Zuxian, it's just that this basketball girl spends most of her time and energy playing basketball, and her academic performance was just average to begin with, but after coming to the art school, she suddenly became one of the top students.

This made Joey Wong extremely happy, and she even bragged about it to Qin Weiming.

morning.

Joey Wong rode her bicycle out of her house, but she soon turned at a fork in the road near her home. If someone were looking down from the sky, they would see that Joey Wong had clearly taken a longer route.

The road to school is a straight line with at most one or two curves, but there's absolutely no need to come to such a fork in the road.

"Five minutes left," Joey Wong silently counted.

"What are you doing, just standing here in a daze?" Qin Weiming went up to greet Wang Zuxian when he saw her.

"Ah!" Wang Zuxian was startled.

She hadn't expected Qin Weiming to emerge so early today, and in such a bizarre way, by sneaking up behind her.

Qin Weiming looked completely innocent, and he was carrying two breakfasts for Wang Zuxian: cooked rice and millet soy milk.

"I bought this rice from a roadside vendor, and the soy milk is homemade. I packed a bowl for you and brought it with you. Add a spoonful of sugar, so have a taste." Qin Weiming warmly handed the breakfast to Wang Zuxian. The two found an abandoned stone bench by the roadside and sat down. They placed the food on the stone table, and Wang Zuxian happily began to eat. Anyway, when she was with Qin Weiming, she didn't care about her image.
