Before her rebirth, Shen Xuewei was over thirty years old. After seven years of estrangement from her family and many years of hard work, she finally had her own small home.
After her rebirth...
Chapter 119 is uncertain.
Startled by her, everyone fell silent again.
"The teacher arranged it this way for everyone's benefit. By having high-achieving students mentor low-achieving students, everyone's grades will improve, right?"
"Not only will their grades improve, but it will also foster friendships within the class..."
Aside from a few students who were egging them on, there were also many students who looked unwilling.
However, under Teacher Xue's arrangement, they had no choice but to give in.
And so, Shen Xuewei sat in the first row on the left side of the aisle, alongside the last-ranked student in the class.
Ever since she sat down next to her new deskmate, Shen Xuewei has had a frown on her face.
Her new deskmate was a short but very mischievous and unruly boy.
Shen Xuewei had just finished moving the table and chairs and was about to sit down when her deskmate, Lu Yonggui, shook his leg and put one foot on her chair.
He looked arrogant and sized up Shen Xuewei with a sidelong glance.
"What first place? He's just a kid."
His scrutinizing gaze was extremely offensive, making Shen Xuewei feel uncomfortable.
Looking at the footprint on her chair, her anger was gradually ignited.
She smirked and said, "Trouble you, put your feet off my chair."
Lu Yonggui scoffed, "I won't let go, so what can you do to me?"
He stared at Shen Xuewei. "I heard you're a very good student, always number one? Come on, tell me how you study, and teach me too, so I can be number one as well."
Shen Xuewei, unable to bear it any longer, turned to look at Teacher Xue, who was still arranging seats.
Teacher Xue took a moment from her busy schedule to glance over at them, and seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she came over.
"What's wrong? The seats were just arranged, what's going on between you two?"
Lu Yonggui naturally pulled his foot back from Shen Xuewei's chair and said with a grin:
"It's nothing, teacher. Didn't you say that classmates should get along well? I just became Shen Xuewei's deskmate and was just joking with her."
Teacher Xue glared at him and then patted him lightly on the shoulder.
The tone was reproachful, but not harsh; in fact, it sounded quite amiable.
"Okay, I know you boys are mischievous, but you need to be mindful of your behavior and make sure it doesn't happen again."
Lu Yonggui rested his chin on his hand and said, "Okay, I understand, teacher."
Teacher Xue then looked at Shen Xuewei, but her tone was even more subdued than when she spoke to Lu Yonggui.
"Alright, classmates should be considerate of each other. There's nothing else going on now, so please sit down and don't disturb the students behind you."
As she spoke, she turned around and made arrangements for the other students.
Lu Yonggui had chewed some bubble gum at some point. "Hey, sit down, classmate."
Shen Xuewei stared at the chair, took out a tissue to wipe it, and then sat down expressionlessly.
She had always had very good teachers over the years, but she never expected to be assigned such a homeroom teacher and such a deskmate so soon after being placed in a new class.
She was certain that the homeroom teacher had seen Lu Yonggui do something, but pretended not to.
She then looked at Teacher Xue, who was still arranging seats.
If you observe carefully, you'll notice some differences in how the other person treats boys and girls.
She's gentler with boys, but much colder with girls.
In the past, when she encountered problems at school, she would usually ask her teachers for help.
But this? ...
Shen Xuewei was no longer sure.
She sighed inwardly and decided that as long as Lu Yonggui didn't bother her anymore and they could get along peacefully, she would endure it.
As for having her teach him to read and help him improve his grades?
Don't even think about it!
Lu Yonggui ranked last in his class and fifth from the bottom in the grade.
Of course, since the results are already at the bottom, it doesn't really matter which place they are.
Anyone who isn't an idiot and has any interest in learning wouldn't get such a score.
She's not Lu Yonggui's parents; whether he studies or not is none of her business.
What's more, after treating her like that, she still insists on teaching him. Isn't that just plain stupid?
If she weren't so young and not as strong as others, she would have punched Lu Yonggui in the head with that kick.
She wanted to coexist peacefully, but the other party had no such intention.
When she went to the restroom after class, she came back to find two boys talking to Lu Yonggui.
One of them was sitting in her chair, and another plopped down on her desk.
The books she had placed on the table were now lying on the floor, with several footprints of varying sizes on them.
Suppressing her emotions and calming herself, Shen Xuewei slowly approached and politely inquired:
"This is my seat. May I get down from my desk and my chair?"
The boys looked at her and burst into laughter.
"What do you mean 'your seat'? Why are you being so stingy? Can't we even sit down?"
"That's right, we're leaving soon, why are you in such a hurry?"
Ye Meiling, who was chatting and laughing with her new girlfriends, seemed to notice Shen Xuewei's awkward situation and came over.
"What are you doing? Don't you have seats of your own? Why are you taking Weiwei's seat?"
The boy sitting at Shen Xuewei's desk shoved her and said fiercely:
"You old hag, what's it to you? If you meddle, I'll deal with you right now, you hear me?"
Several boys stared at her, and Ye Meiling's courage dwindled, leaving her too frightened to speak.
Shen Xuewei was grateful to Ye Meiling for standing up for her, but she was also afraid that these boys would lay a hand on her and hurt her.
She patted Ye Meiling's hand and whispered, "Meiling, you can go back now. I'm fine. I'll ask the teacher for help later."
Ye Meiling hesitated for a moment, then half-heartedly let Shen Xuewei push her away.
Instead of leaving immediately, he took Shen Xuewei's hand and said, "Weiwei, I'll go with you to find the teacher."
Yes, you can tell that someone who is afraid of teachers is willing to accompany her to the office to find the teacher. That shows how loyal she is.
The two arrived at the office, knocked on the door and went in. Shen Xuewei told Teacher Xue what had happened earlier, and then brought up the matter of changing seats again.
Ye Meiling chimed in, "Teacher, I'll testify for Weiwei; everything she said is true."
Teacher Xue looked impatient. "Alright, I understand."
"School has just started, and the seats have just been assigned. Changing seats isn't something you can do whenever you want."
"Boys are naturally a bit more mischievous than girls, so just bear with it. If everyone asked to change seats like you guys, wouldn't the class be in chaos?"
"Alright, the bell's about to ring, you guys go back to class. I'm busy right now, I'll talk to them properly when I have time later."
When the two came out of the office, Shen Xuewei's face was already ashen with anger.
Ye Meiling looked guilty. "I'm sorry, Weiwei, I can't help you."
Shen Xuewei forced a smile. "It's okay, it's not your fault. You've already done a good job by speaking up for me earlier. Let's go back first, I'll figure out a solution myself."
The two returned to the classroom just as the class bell rang.
