"To be able to have Wei Qingyu and Xia Yeshuang talk to me at the same time, I'd be willing to live in a villa and drive a luxury car!"
"How can you take and eat at the same time?"
(TL: A common saying meaning to be greedy and take all the benefits for oneself.)
"Holy crap, in the battle for Lu Xing, Xia Yeshuang is taking a huge lead!"
"No, seriously, how come I don't have this kind of luck?"
"Lu Xing's hardware and software are both good. He was just single-mindedly being a simp. Now that he's come to his senses, it's normal for someone to like him, right?"
From the moment Xia Yeshuang pulled Lu Xing out, the entire classroom had fallen into whispers, among which were various sour and acidic remarks.
After all–
One's own failure is certainly terrible, but another's success is even more disheartening!
We're all simps, so why is it that only you, Lu Xing, succeeded in the end? And even if you succeeded, you don't even fucking cherish it!
Wang Zhenzhen was Wei Qingyu's deskmate.
She could be considered to understand Wei Qingyu's personality. She was taciturn but had no ill intentions, just spoke bluntly.
Wang Zhenzhen asked with concern, "Qingyu... are you okay?"
Wei Qingyu was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head.
"I'm fine, thank you."
It's over!
The kid's gone silly!
How can she shake her head and say she's fine at the same time!
Wang Zhenzhen said hesitantly.
"Your hand..."
Wei Qingyu came back to her senses and looked.
Her fair hand was stained with dark ink, exceptionally glaring!
After Xia Yeshuang had pulled Lu Xing away, she had returned to her seat and become absent-minded.
Before, she could finish several pages of problems in ten minutes. Now, she was still stuck on the first page.
"It's nothing."
Wei Qingyu silently took out a wet wipe and wiped her palm.
Xia Yeshuang's provocative gaze kept replaying in her mind. What could she be saying to Lu Xing right now?
Wang Zhenzhen hesitantly tried to persuade her.
"Qingyu, don't mind it too much. Lu Xing has liked you for over two years. He won't be bewitched by Xia Yeshuang!"
Like?
Wei Qingyu looked at Wang Zhenzhen and said seriously.
"Lu Xing doesn't like me."
Huh?
Wang Zhenzhen was dumbfounded, as if she had heard some kind of joke.
"He doesn't like you? Who's spreading rumors again!"
"If he doesn't like you, does he think of you as his sister? I wouldn't take care of my sister in every single detail!"
Wei Qingyu was silent for a moment, then said softly.
"He's just too lonely."
So he just doesn't know how to define kinship and love.
Wang Zhenzhen felt that this world had truly gone insane. How could Wei Qingyu say such a crazy thing!
Sympathizing with a man will bring you bad luck for eight lifetimes!
But although Wang Zhenzhen was screaming in her heart, she didn't dare to say it to Wei Qingyu's face.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph."
Xia Yeshuang came in through the front door, humming a cheerful little tune, with Lu Xing by her side.
Although her seat was at the back, she just liked to enter from the front.
That way, everyone could see her!
Sure enough, all the students' eyes fell on the two of them!
As she passed by Wei Qingyu, Xia Yeshuang abruptly lowered her head, her golden hair brushing against the desk, a show of dominance.
She lowered her voice, her pride almost overflowing.
"Lu Xing is mine now."
Wei Qingyu's eyes shot up in surprise!
Xia Yeshuang was in such a good mood she almost wanted to laugh out loud.
Yes, yes, yes!
That's the expression! Do it a little more!
At least make me feel like this money was well spent!
Xia Yeshuang walked back to her seat with light, cheerful steps.
Lu Xing looked back at Wei Qingyu.
The two of them met each other's gaze. Wei Qingyu's usually calm and emotionless eyes were now filled with a deep gloom.
And even a hint of... resentment?
...
During the afternoon class meeting, Demon Lord Li emphasized three points:
The first mock exam will start next Monday.
Registration for the sports meet events is now open.
The importance of unity and friendship.
While she was talking up there, the people in the class were writing their problems down below.
You talk your talk, I'll write my work.
Lu Xing was currently battling the second question of a derivative problem when an A4 sheet of paper was quietly passed over from Li Dachun.
"What are you doing?"
Li Dachun let out a silly laugh, trying to curry favor.
"Adoptive father, our class still has the 3000-meter event for the sports meet..."
How much?
Three thousand meters?!
Get lost.
I'd have to consider taking a taxi for a thousand meters. (TL: 1000 meters = 1 kilometer = 0.62 miles)
Lu Xing refused.
Li Dachun was helpless. Based on his observation of Lu Xing's interests, he played his biggest trump card.
"The prize money for the 3000-meter race is one thousand yuan! And I've asked around, no sports students are participating in this event!"
The sports students all went to participate in projects like basketball or sprints, which were cooler and more impressive.
Not only would they look cool after the competition, but they would also get their handsome photos featured on the next day's confession wall!
Lu Xing's hand paused.
E-heh! Li Dachun was overjoyed. There's a chance!
"After talking with the sports committee members from other classes, I found out that the people they found for the 3000-meter race are all just to make up the numbers. They're really bad!"
Lu Xing was silent.
Lu Xing thought.
Lu Xing filled out the form.
"Hehe! Thank you, adoptive father!"
The last event finally had a participant. Li Dachun was so excited he could have jumped up!
Lu Xing was suddenly confused.
"Why don't you run the 3000-meter race?"
"I can't run it."
Li Dachun counted on his fingers, his face full of sorrow.
"I still have to participate in the 50-meter, 400-meter, high jump, soccer..."
Lu Xing laughed.
"Even a donkey from a production team wouldn't be worked this hard!"
...
Song Junzhu had run into some difficulties.
"Have the students' problems evolved to this point now?"
Looking at the problem in her hand, Song Junzhu's stunning and exquisite eyes were filled with a big question mark.
"I can see the answer to this problem at a glance! Why do I still need all these steps!!!"
Song Junzhu, a natural-born academic prodigy, expressed that she did not understand the long-winded problem-solving processes in those reference answers.
Can't this problem be solved in a second!
After thinking for a moment.
Song Junzhu decided to seek outside help. She dialed her best friend Zhang Yue's number.
"Hello? Junzhu! What's wrong?"
"I want to ask you about a college entrance exam question."
"Huh???"
Zhang Yue was dumbfounded.
Song Junzhu also felt a little embarrassed. "Are you free now?"
Zhang Yue thought for a moment.
"I'm a little busy right now. A couple got into a fight, and the wife was sent to our hospital, covered in blood!"
Huh?
Song Junzhu frowned, a little worried.
"Did she marry a domestic abuser?"
"Not exactly." Zhang Yue found it hard to say. "Her husband was stabbed several times and was sent to the hospital next door."
"Now the director has given the order. This is a showdown between two hospitals!"
Song Junzhu: ...
"How is your life at the hospital like something out of Crows Zero?"
(TL: Crows Zero is a famous Japanese movie about high school gangs fighting.)
Zhang Yue also found it a bit absurd and funny, so she said quickly.
"I can't talk to you anymore, I'm going to help. I'll go shopping with you later. The Haicheng Grand Theater has a famous artist's performance soon. I'll treat you to it then!"
“Beep”
Song Junzhu looked at the disconnected call and sighed.
"Being a doctor really isn't easy."
Forget about having to pay for your own internship, you even have to act out Crows Zero in the hospital.
After sighing, Song Junzhu still had to continue to work at her desk, organizing the example problems and knowledge points for the college entrance exam.
When she thought of the expression Lu Xing would have when he received these things, she was instantly full of motivation!
Hmph.
"Although you are not worthy of me, liking me shows that you have good taste. Consider these as compensation for you."
