If it was a coincidence that the speech became a hot topic on the day of its release, then the popularity about the top male high school student from Jiangnan University High School not only did not decrease, but instead grew more and more intensely.
The impact on Lin Xu was no less than a grand social death, which penetrated into every aspect of his life like a tide. He truly experienced the saying that people are afraid of fame just as pigs are afraid of getting fat.
Every time the end of get out of class was like a catastrophe for him. He didn't even dare to step out of the classroom, because even if he met classmates from other classes in the corridor, although they would not make a fuss, they would all look at him twice.
Junior students in the first and second grades who did not attend the speech in person would also be very curious and deliberately pass by Class 9 of Grade 3 to see what this senior, who is obviously an amateur but has already become a hot topic, looks like, and see with their own eyes whether his temperament is as extraordinary as netizens say.
It can be said that Lin Xu was originally just a handsome guy, but now he has become a famous handsome guy.
The students in Class Nine, on the other hand, accepted it well, because there were always a few good-looking top students in previous classes, who would create a small wave at the time and become legendary figures in the middle school.
It’s just that this time, Lin Xu from their class, with the support of the media, became a little more popular.
Every time Lin Xu went out of the school, he could hear students whispering about him, all with praises.
Lin Xu felt ashamed and terrified instead of happy. As a person with social anxiety, he was afraid of the focus being on himself, and praise would make him dig his toes into the ground.
But fortunately, he could pretend not to hear it and hurried home with a calm expression.
When we got home, there was another catastrophe.
Mrs. Wang from the neighboring family is a show-off. She is always proud of her husband's decent job and high income. She is also proud of her children's promising future, good grades and good looks. During the chat, they would warn Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin to pay more attention to their grandchildren's studies and discipline them strictly. For example, their youngest son is very sensible and does his homework until the early morning after school, unlike Lin Xu, who often goes out to play.
Now, when Lin Xu returns home, he would occasionally hear Mrs. Wang chatting with her grandmother: "Sister, I've long said that your Lin Xu has a bright future. I heard that he gave a representative speech at school this time, which is amazing!" Then she would find the video of Lin Xu's speech and comment on it carefully to praise him.
Such a loud and pleasant voice, brilliant writing, and elegant image...
Grandma Lin didn't hold a grudge, didn't offend her, and listened patiently with a smile.
When he saw Lin Xu coming back with his schoolbag, he hurriedly took the bag and went home while saying goodbye to Mrs. Wang.
After returning home and closing the door, Grandma Lin asked kindly, "Are you hungry, Xiaoxu? Do you want grandma to make you something to eat?"
She used to go square dancing often, but now she waits for Lin Xu to come home.
After returning home, Lin Xu's ears and face turned red and returned to normal.
He said considerately, "It's okay, grandma, I'm not hungry, I'm going to my room to do my homework."
Grandma Lin held him back and said with concern, "Xiao Xu, you must be under a lot of pressure recently. You stay in your room studying every day."
"This is what should happen as the college entrance examination is approaching." Lin Xu explained.
