I traveled through time and became a cute girl, I just want to be a fun person

Chapter 335 Finally Connected

It was an ordinary day. During the break after the second class in the morning, a group of chattering and curious girls gathered around Jiang Yuan's seat.

What they were curious about was, of course, the story behind Jiang Yuan's victory. Some of them were even CP fans, trying to gossip about whether the top mixed doubles combination in the national table tennis team was a real couple...

Although it is already the second semester of Grade 3 and time is passing by faster and faster, the students in Grade () seem to be no different from those in the previous semester. In fact, since they are already completely familiar with each other, there is no sense of distance between them.

The influence of the three "kings" who have returned to the Iron Throne has spread further and further, making those students who prefer shit, piss and fart jokes sigh and wonder why Wenshun can't make some more efforts? Without shit, piss and fart jokes, it feels like the air in the school has lost its vitality!
Our class three should not only have beautiful girls, but also a cheerful atmosphere like before...

Not to mention those "kings" who have retired for a long time, the focus is still on Jiang Yuan.

There is no doubt that a beautiful girl like Jiang Yuan, who has a very nice personality and no idol baggage, is very popular in the class now!

Some more introverted boys may develop an inferiority complex because of her gender, coupled with her great looks and extraordinary status, so they only dare to pay attention to her secretly, carefully hiding their inexplicable feelings in their hearts. Many years later, they inexplicably regretted it. She was clearly their white moonlight in their memory of high school, but it was a pity that they did not muster up the courage to talk to her more at that time.

The girls were naturally much bolder. After they confirmed that Jiang Yuan had a great personality, of course they wanted to make friends with Jiang Yuan. Even if they couldn't become the closest best friends, they could just be ordinary friends. It would be an honor to tell others about it, after all, she was a real chaebol's daughter!

Now, these girls found out that Jiang Yuan had become famous even in her amateur hobby of table tennis, and had even beaten the main players of the national team. While they found it unbelievable and incredible, they wanted to get to know Jiang Yuan even better. What if she really won a gold medal in the Olympics in the future? That would make them excited just thinking about it - the Olympic champion turned out to be my high school classmate!
Jiang Yuan did not show any rejection or impatience towards these female classmates who had a burning gossip spirit.

After all, there was admiration in their eyes, and all kinds of compliments came out of their mouths, and they wanted to praise her to the sky. No matter whether these compliments were sincere or hypocritical, they sounded really good.

Who doesn't like to hear all kinds of compliments? It makes one feel happy and happy to hear them, and even the "happiness value" increases. Isn't this exactly the result she hoped to get after showing off her skills in front of others?

Now that Jiang Yuan is back in school, it's like a hero returning home in triumph. There's no need to be so low-key or dress up in splendor at night, which might make others criticize him for being too Versailles.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan openly satisfied the gossip of these female classmates who admired her by telling them about her experiences in the WTT Regular Challenge Tournament and her feelings after close contact with the national table tennis players, which made many people marvel.

Then, as they listened with great interest, they suddenly felt that the national-level athletes who they could only see on TV before seemed to be not far away from them. After all, Jiang Yuan has indeed reached that level now.

A girl asked her if she would play more games in the future, or even go on the Olympic stage one day. Jiang Yuan just smiled and responded, "It depends. Actually, playing table tennis is just an ordinary hobby for me. At the beginning, I couldn't even beat Li Nacan from my class. Now when I play with professional players, I don't really care about winning or losing. I just enjoy the feeling of having fun. This mentality of mine may not be suitable for competitive sports. After all, competitive sports are about results."

When she expressed her true feelings in such an understated tone, the female classmates around her couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. She is too good at pretending, always saying "I don't care about winning or losing", but you never actually lose!
Some students thought of this sentence: I'm sorry, I didn't let Master Jiang Yuan enjoy it, I'm really sorry...

When Jiang Yuan mentioned "Li Nachan", these girls' eyes first flashed with thought. After all, this Li Nachan had too low presence in the class. After they remembered who she was, envy appeared in their eyes again.

Because Li Nacan and Jiang Yuan have a good relationship, she is Jiang Yuan's basketball partner during physical education class or free time in activity class, and Jiang Yuan has now personally admitted that in the beginning, she couldn't beat Li Nacan in basketball...

Oh my god, if they were Lee Na-chan, they would have been bragging a long time ago. No matter how fast Jiang Yuan improved and how good she is now, it is also a fact that she couldn't beat me before. When Jiang Yuan becomes more successful and wins many world championships, then I can brag that I won the world championship? Or the world champion improved by sparring with me!
Just like that, Li Nacan, who had always been low-key and had a very low sense of presence in the class, was actually surrounded by a lot of female classmates the next moment. Some of them even went to Li Nacan to confirm whether Jiang Yuan really didn't beat her at the beginning.

Li Nacan, who was cueed, looked at Jiang Yuan helplessly, but Jiang Yuan gave her a mischievous smile, which was innocent and bright, revealing his white teeth. Such a smile would confuse girls, let alone boys. Besides, Jiang Yuan's sunshine, softness and sweetness are popular with both men and women!
Li Nacan has always been a girl with a weak sense of presence. She is mediocre in every aspect except for her squinty eyes which are quite recognizable. Even her best "skill" is not allowed to be shown to the public. But she doesn't know how she became a tennis partner with Jiang Yuan, and gradually they became real friends.

She often feels inferior - am I, a person in the "darkness", worthy of being friends with the brilliant Jiang Yuan?
But she had to admit that it felt great to be friends with Jiang Yuan, because he was like the sun, able to give warmth to those around him and make people happy, without any negative emotions at all.

Of course, if someone is so stupid as to become Jiang Yuan's enemy, then it would probably be the exact opposite idea. He would be driven crazy all the time and then his gold coins would explode.

You know, Li Nachan has a disease that makes her steal when she is unhappy. This "kleptomania" is probably a psychological disease. The act of stealing can make her vent and feel secretly happy. What she enjoys most is secretly observing the reaction of the guy who makes her unhappy after she steals the most beloved thing of the guy.

However, she had never felt unhappy when getting along with Jiang Yuan. She thought the fundamental reason was that Jiang Yuan, this naive and innocent young lady, was too sincere to others. It was too natural, and her naturalness directly restrained everything.

Now, when Li Nachan faced those female classmates who were asking for confirmation of gossip, she showed a cautious smile of a classic good person, and her eyes became narrowed again. She replied: "Classmate Jiang Yuan is just being modest. In fact, she was very good when she played with me. She didn't use all her strength to play with me. She just wanted me to pick up fewer balls and deliberately cut the ball to feed it to me. In this way, we can play back and forth for a long time in a small game. If we use it as an analogy to Go, it is equivalent to her giving me guidance."

After Li Nacan said this, the gossiping female classmates nodded one after another, thinking that this was the truth. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that this girl was indeed a well-known good person in the class. She was so honest and had a good character. If it were them, they would probably admit it. No matter how good Jiang Yuan is at playing basketball now, as long as he had lost before, it was also a kind of capital to brag about. But it was obvious that Li Nacan was not the kind of person who liked to brag about herself and act high-profile. She had long been accustomed to being a passerby with a weak sense of existence. This attribute also made it convenient for her to become a "thief saint".

Just after the female classmates who had satisfied their curiosity around Jiang Yuan dispersed, Lin Qingnian, the "gossip king" who was sitting diagonally in front of her, turned around and couldn't help but report the movements on the Internet to Jiang Yuan.

In the past, Lin Qingnian was used to calling Jiang Yuan "Yuanyuan", which sounded quite intimate. But now, out of respect for Jiang Yuan, she directly changed the name to "Miss Yuanshen", because in her eyes, Jiang Yuan has completely ascended to become a god. A girl who is so perfect in every aspect, what else can she be but a god?
Of course, this name also carries a sense of playfulness, ridicule, and weirdness. Lin Qingnian is a very eccentric person, and his thinking is also very imaginative.

"Miss Yuanshen, after public opinion fermented thoroughly, you were finally exposed! In our school, of course, it is more likely that there were people in our class who went to the campus forum to show off, and they accelerated the process... But the most important thing is that you showed your face during the live broadcast on the Douyin platform during the winter vacation. Now, after nearly a week, the Internet has finally linked you, a table tennis genius who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, with the versatile Miss Jiang family!"

"Gossip King" Lin Qingnian seemed to be the incarnation of a eunuch at this time, reporting the movements on the Internet to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was not surprised at all. She smiled faintly and said, "We got in touch so late? It seems that the influence of the table tennis circle is really not that big."

If the top leaders of the national table tennis team had not secretly let the media hype it up, it would probably have taken a long time for everyone to discover that the "little princess of the star chaebol" Jiang Yuan, who had previously caused a "real or fake daughter" scandal on the Internet, was actually the table tennis genius Jiang Yuan. At least it would have taken until Jiang Yuan won a more prestigious championship.

Ultimately, the traffic for regular challenge tournaments is too small. If it were the Olympics, she wouldn't even have to win the championship, but just make it to the quarterfinals or semifinals. Her identity would have been exposed long ago.

But now, after she won the championship, some leaders of the national table tennis team who wanted to expand the attention on table tennis gave instructions to hype and market her, which finally made her a little bit popular, and she was noticed all of a sudden.

Even in this situation, although some people thought she looked familiar, as if they had seen her before, for a moment, they would not connect this fledgling professional table tennis player with the eldest daughter of the Jiang family who sang beautifully.

This is a fixed mindset. They subconsciously feel that these two people have nothing to do with each other. In other words, people who like to pay attention to gossip about wealthy families and internet celebrities with good looks are almost isolated from the table tennis circle. They themselves are not interested in the sport. If you ask them who are the celebrities in the table tennis circle, their memories may still stay at the 2008 Capital Olympics.

So this needs time to ferment, and what accelerates this process are, of course, students from the same school or even the same class as Jiang Yuan. They may have originally just gone online to pretend to be "uncles" for the purpose of showing off, but since Jiang Yuan's live broadcast, the number of fans has increased greatly, and some fans have been paying attention to the campus forum of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School.

Many of these fans may have been Jiang Xiyan’s fans before, but after watching that live broadcast and discovering how loving the two sisters are, they immediately became greedy. Being a fan of one eldest sister is also a fan, and being a fan of two sisters is also a fan. Only children make choices, while adults directly choose to have them all!
And it is precisely because of these fans who squatted in the campus forum that they discovered that discussions like this suddenly appeared in the forum -

"Miss Yuan Shen from our class is so amazing. She asked for a few days off to play in a professional table tennis competition and actually won the championship!"

"Indeed, who the hell would have thought of that? I thought she was sick again. She has always been in poor health. She didn't participate in military training at the beginning of the first semester of her freshman year, and she often took sick leave afterwards. She looked sick all the time."

"The setting of a sickly, pale, thin young lady is really very exciting, but it's a pity that it's all old news. Later, she stepped up her exercise and actively participated in various sports. Some people even saw her playing basketball with Yang Jingming and others. But I really didn't expect that she could beat professional players in table tennis!"

"This move is indeed a show, but among the professional players she beat, I only know Ito Mima. She became popular online in that Olympics, apparently because she won the mixed doubles gold medal. She is also very strong in singles and won a bronze medal. Now that Yuan Shen can beat her, doesn't she have a chance to win a silver medal or even a gold medal in the Olympics?"

"Those who don't understand the game should stop bragging. Ito Mima is no longer in her prime. She is not even among the top three players in Japan. Moreover, she must have just played casually in small competitions. Losing is nothing. But after Yushin won two absolute main players of the national table tennis team in the semi-finals and finals, this is more valuable!"

"Anyway, she quietly participated in a professional tournament and won a championship. This is really amazing. If she wins this kind of championship, can she be named an athlete or something? It seems like it will even give her extra points in the college entrance examination!"

"Tsk, with Miss Yuanshen's current grades, does she need extra points for the college entrance examination? Don't forget that she is still a big name in competitions. In the future, she may be able to get admission to a prestigious school directly based on her competition results."

"She is really good at competitions. Although I am a sophomore, my buddy is also in the math competition class. He has been in the competition class for one year longer than Yuan Shen. He said that every time he faces Yuan Shen, he feels like his IQ is being rubbed on the ground. Maybe this is a true genius. The competition class teacher also arranged for them to try their hand at the Alibaba Mathematics Competition. I wonder what kind of results Yuan Shen will achieve by then."

……

Fans who were watching the campus forum were confused when they saw these discussions. How could the "Little Princess of the Star Chaebol" who was good at singing and had excellent academic performance suddenly cross over to play table tennis? Is this the legendary "both literary and sports"? Or is it the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness and beauty?
