Chapter 951
IF146
Ignoring Lin Yuehua, Li Zhuangsheng buried himself in his homework. Given that his deskmate was in a very bad mood, Li Zhuangsheng dared not misbehave. He even refrained from playing on his phone during evening self-study and obediently focused on doing his homework.
But perhaps because he had fallen behind in his studies during this period, Li Zhuangsheng wrote very slowly, scratching his head and flipping through the book from time to time.
"How much more have you not written?"
Halfway through the last evening self-study session, Li Zhuangsheng suddenly heard a faint sound in his ear.
Li Zhuangsheng was startled and turned his head sharply, only to see Lin Yuehua staring intently at him.
"I, I, um, I've finished my math, my Chinese, and my history... I've just started on my English," Li Zhuangsheng stammered, truthfully reporting.
"Why are you writing so slowly?" Lin Yuehua frowned.
"Yeah, yeah, it's because math is a bit difficult..."
"Let me see your math homework!"
Lin Yuehua extended her hand, speaking in a tone that was hard to refuse.
"what?"
"hurry up!"
"oh oh……"
Li Zhuangsheng reluctantly took out his math homework and handed it over nervously. He knew it was a mess and he had left two questions blank.
"Tsk..." Lin Yuehua took Li Zhuangsheng's homework, glanced at it, and clicked her tongue in annoyance and frustration. "Don't you know how to fill in the blanks on these two questions?"
"Yeah, I'm not really good at it..."
Lin Yuehua frowned even deeper, picked up Li Zhuangsheng's draft paper and began to do calculations: "Look carefully, it's like this..."
Li Zhuangsheng was stunned. Was Lin Yuehua teaching him a problem? But why would she take the initiative to teach him a problem?
The other person was never a kind-hearted person, and the two were not that close.
"Why are you looking at me? Do I have words on my face?"
Lin Yuehua noticed Li Zhuangsheng's dazed expression after saying only a few words, so she poked his arm with her pen.
"Ouch, that hurts..." Li Zhuangsheng gasped, finally realizing the truth, and obediently nodded, looking at the draft paper.
Lin Yuehua frowned again. Because it was still evening self-study, her voice was not loud. She glanced at him and said, "Come sit over here."
Li Zhuangsheng obediently moved closer to Lin Yuehua again.
He rarely got this close to girls, so he was a little shy. But thanks to his previous interactions with Hu Mengdie, he wasn't particularly uncomfortable. Besides, Lin Yuehua wasn't exactly a beauty, so there was nothing to be nervous about.
Lin Yuehua was explaining a problem to Li Zhuangsheng. Li Zhuangsheng pretended to listen attentively, nodding in agreement from time to time, but his thoughts were wandering uncontrollably.
"Hey, did you cry during your first evening study session?"
Perhaps because Lin Yuehua took the initiative to explain the problem to Li Zhuangsheng, which brought them closer, Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but ask her again with concern.
Based on his secret observation of Lin Yuehua, she seemed to be spacing out from time to time throughout the evening self-study session, as if she had suffered a huge blow.
Lin Yuehua paused, biting her lip slightly: "Are you going to listen or not?"
"I'm listening, I'm listening!" Li Zhuangsheng nodded vigorously, but still couldn't help but add, "I just want to tell you, don't be too sad. Actually, there's no hurdle you can't overcome... What's done is done, it's all in the past..."
"Can you just shut up?"
"oh oh!"
After explaining the problem to Li Zhuangsheng, Lin Yuehua glanced at his math homework, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, but still didn't point out the mistakes in his homework.
"If you don't understand something in the future, just ask me. Evening self-study is about to end, so take your English homework home to do," Lin Yuehua said. "Okay..."
Li Zhuangsheng nodded obediently. He really wanted to ask Lin Yuehua why she was suddenly being so nice to him, but she seemed very impatient, so he had to suppress his curiosity for the time being.
Shortly after, the bell rang, signaling the end of evening self-study. Li Zhuangsheng watched as Lin Yuehua quickly left the classroom, then immediately stood up and shamelessly demanded his English homework from Zhu Zhixue.
"Why are you sitting with Lin Yuehua?" Zhu Zhixue asked curiously as she handed her English homework to Li Zhuangsheng.
"I don't know either. You arrived at the classroom before me, right? Do you know what's going on?"
"If I knew, would I be asking you?"
"Alas... how unlucky I am, my life is so bitter!" Li Zhuangsheng sighed to the sky, his face full of sorrow.
Zhu Zhixue grinned mischievously: "Isn't this a good thing? People are influenced by their surroundings. It's good that you're seated next to the top student in the grade. You should study hard with him and spend less time on your phone."
The mention of cell phones only fueled Li Zhuangsheng's indignation: "How could I dare to use a cell phone now? Ugh, it's so annoying!"
Zhu Zhixue chuckled, "That's a good thing! Hmm, she should be the one to keep an eye on you. Look at how badly you've been doing on the tests lately!"
Li Zhuangsheng was slightly taken aback: "Why do you always look at my weekly training results?"
"Just take a look, it's just something posted on the blackboard." Zhu Zhixue pouted. "I think you should spend less time on your phone and focus on your studies. You used to have really good grades; I remember you were even the math class representative. Look at you now."
Li Zhuangsheng was stunned for a moment. Math class representative? I was a math class representative? Wasn't that something from the first year of junior high?
"When did I ever serve as the math class representative?" Li Zhuangsheng was puzzled. Did Zhu Zhixue know about his time in the first year of junior high school?
"...Oh, it wasn't you. I must have remembered wrong!"
Realizing her slip of the tongue, Zhu Zhixue's eyes darted around as she hurriedly tried to find an excuse.
Li Zhuangsheng grinned and scratched his head: "Oh... I thought you knew about my time in the first year of junior high."
Zhu Zhixue pursed her lips: "Alright, from now on you can just study hard with Lin Yuehua!"
Li Zhuangsheng nodded haphazardly, packed his English homework, and went out with Zhu Zhixue.
As they reached the foot of the teaching building, the two were finally about to part ways.
The streetlights on campus flickered on and off, a cool breeze swept through, and a few cold stars twinkled faintly in the sky.
"Hu Mengdie is no good person, stay away from her!"
Zhu Zhixue wrapped her coat tighter, took a deep breath, gently slapped Li Zhuangsheng's buttocks, and slightly turned her eyes away.
“Yes, yes, I know…” Li Zhuangsheng nodded repeatedly.
Zhu Zhixue nodded in satisfaction, raised her hand with a bright smile, and said, "Bye-bye-bye!"
"Okay, I'm leaving now. You should go back to your dorm early too!"
Li Zhuangsheng waved and then strode towards the bicycle shed.
After taking only a few steps, he inexplicably turned back and looked at her, only to see Zhu Zhixue seemingly standing still, staring at him.
The two looked at each other, and Zhu Zhixue smiled and waved again, as if she was shy, and quickly turned around and walked towards the dormitory.
Li Zhuangsheng touched his face, then stopped and watched the other person's departing figure for a while.
"Ugh!"
Li Zhuangsheng sighed for no apparent reason; he didn't know why he was sighing.
Perhaps it was because he had a new deskmate, although Li Zhuangsheng knew in his heart that this wasn't a bad thing for him. (End of Chapter)
