Chapter 957

Lin Yuehua tilted her head slightly, looking at the small bread in Li Zhuangsheng's hand with a hint of doubt in her eyes, as if she was wondering what Li Zhuangsheng's purpose was.
"I've already eaten," Lin Yuehua said, turning her head back.
“Then have another one! It’s really delicious! Solving problems consumes a lot of sugar, so eating something sweet can help with thinking!” Li Zhuangsheng said.
Lin Yuehua frowned slightly, perhaps moved by Li Zhuangsheng's reasoning. She silently took the meat floss bread from Li Zhuangsheng's hand, tore it open, and ate it without a sound.
"Thank you," she said softly.
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Li Zhuangsheng felt he had done another good deed, and took out the Alpenliebe candy that Zhu Zhixue had just given him. "Here, take this too, it's a lollipop."
Lin Yuehua silently accepted it.
"Hehe, I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to say... oh dear!"
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp pain shot through his foot. Li Zhuang looked up abruptly, and Zhu Zhixue slowly walked past him, grinding her teeth.
"What are you looking at? Can't I go to the toilet?" Zhu Zhixue turned her head and said angrily.
Li Zhuangsheng dared not speak, then turned to Lin Yuehua and scratched his head again: "Uh, I just wanted to say... either vulgar or lonely. That's Nietzsche's words, the wise are always lonely... Oh dear, haha, actually I don't even know what I'm talking about..."
His face flushed slightly, hating himself for being unable to express himself clearly, hating that he didn't have good speaking skills and could only ramble on.
“What I just want to say is—” He gritted his teeth, and with the air of an acquaintance, patted Lin Yuehua on the shoulder, “Therefore, when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body, leave them destitute, and thwart their endeavors, so as to strengthen their resolve and increase their abilities!”
Lin Yuehua stared blankly at Li Zhuangsheng, whose face flushed red as he suppressed his shame, his gaze resolute.
After a long while, Lin Yuehua lowered her eyes and gently tucked a stray hair behind her ear.
"You like me?" she said.
"Uh..." Li Zhuangsheng was speechless for a moment, then panicked. "No, I, I mean, I, I really admire you, I really respect your attitude towards learning, I, I just think you're amazing, you'll definitely become a great person in the future..."
Lin Yuehua raised her head again, staring straight at Li Zhuangsheng. Li Zhuangsheng's eyes darted around shyly.
"Oh, right!" Li Zhuangsheng, in his haste, pulled out another bottle of "Scream" that hadn't been opened yet, tore off the protective film, tightened the screws, and placed it on Lin Yuehua's table. "You should drink this too. You, I haven't thanked you for helping me with the problem last time!"
"You want to study hard, right?" Lin Yuehua pursed her lips, her voice still as cold as usual, but with a strange tone.
"Ah, right, right, right!" Li Zhuang slapped his thigh and took the opportunity to speak. "Well, uh, it's me. My grades aren't good, you know... so, I think, uh, I've always admired you and always wanted to learn from you!"
After hearing Li Zhuangsheng's words, Lin Yuehua's eyes flickered slightly, her expression became increasingly strange, and she calmly extended her hand: "Then give it to me."
"What?" Li Zhuangsheng still smiled ingratiatingly.
"Your phone." Lin Yuehua's hand hovered in mid-air. "Don't you want to study hard? Then give me your phone."
The smile on Li Zhuangsheng's face instantly froze.
"I, I..." Li Zhuangsheng was struck dumb, completely lost.
How did you know I had a phone? No, I was just trying to comfort you, how could you do this! Don't you know that private property is sacred and inviolable?!
"I, I, I didn't bring it today, haha." Li Zhuangsheng panicked and blurted out whatever came to mind.
"I saw you brought it today. Do you want me to take it out myself?" Lin Yuehua looked calmly at Li Zhuangsheng's desk.
Li Zhuangsheng really wanted to slap himself right then and there. Couldn't you have come up with some other reason? You're just shooting yourself in the foot!
Cold sweat slowly trickled down his forehead. Lin Yuehua's hand remained suspended in front of Li Zhuangsheng, silently watching him. This suffocating, invisible pressure seemed to increase every second. Finally, Li Zhuangsheng couldn't take it anymore. Looking disheveled, he took his phone from under the table and handed it to Lin Yuehua.
Lin Yuehua took the phone, pursed her lips, and said lightly, "I'll return it to you during my monthly leave."
"I... actually, it's for studying... there are lots of learning apps on it..."
Li Zhuangsheng clutched his phone tightly, reluctant to let go, attempting a final struggle.
Lin Yuehua's eyes curved into a smile as she snatched the phone away, her gaze conveying a clear message: Do you think I'm stupid?
Li Zhuangsheng, his face contorted with grief, was on the verge of tears, filled with immense sorrow: "Old Demon Lin, you've repaid kindness with enmity!"
That can't be right, why am I the one who got hurt?
My phone!!!
Lin Yuehua smiled and looked at the pitiful but angry look on the other party's face. She quickly turned her back and put Li Zhuangsheng's phone into her backpack.
But halfway through, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, with a hint of triumphant smugness.
Li Zhuangsheng was stunned by the smile. He subconsciously stretched his back, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
However, in just a moment, Lin Yuehua put on a stern face again.
"Did you just laugh?" Li Zhuangsheng asked.
"No," Lin Yuehua shook her head in denial.
"No, I clearly saw you smile!"
"You've misread it." Lin Yuehua bit her lips, which were trying to curve upwards.
Li Zhuang was furious. He increasingly felt that Lin Yuehua's smile was related to her taking his phone away. So, you weren't incapable of smiling, you just only knew how to build your smiles on other people's suffering, huh?
You scheming woman, you were deliberately trying to mislead me with those words just now, weren't you!
Li Zhuangsheng's chest heaved violently, while Lin Yuehua lowered her eyes: "Didn't you say you wanted to study hard?"
Li Zhuangsheng remained silent, only brooding in silence.
"If you improve in your weekly training, I can give you my phone during your weekend break."
"Hmph, that's more like it!" Li Zhuangsheng sneered and turned his face away.
She's quite easily satisfied, Lin Yuehua thought to herself, and rather cute.
Li Zhuangsheng slumped on the table, depressed, while Lin Yuehua leisurely unscrewed the cap of the screaming bottle and took a small sip.
"Want some?" Lin Yuehua asked.
“No need—” Li Zhuangsheng said weakly.
Lin Yuehua was silent for a moment, then licked her lips and said softly, "I know you're trying to comfort me. I feel much better now, thank you."
Li Zhuangsheng turned to look at Lin Yuehua and saw the shyness in her eyes. His sadness at losing his phone suddenly dissipated.
“That’s not how you drink it. You screw the cap on, there’s a small cap on top, just squeeze it and it will come out.”
Li Zhuangsheng said. (End of this chapter)
