seat

Xu Feifei opened the door smoothly, plopped onto the bed, rolled herself up in the blankets, closed her eyes, and fell asleep. The whole process was swift and efficient.

When Lin Yuan came up, Xu Feifei was already fast asleep.

Lin Yuan sat down on the edge of the bed and gently patted the blanket. "Feifei, go back to your room and sleep."

Xu Feifei did not react.

Lin Yuan patted it again, and this time it reacted. But it just hummed a few times and rolled over.

Lin Yuan glanced at the time, then at Xu Feifei. She sighed and pulled the blanket up a little to keep her warm.

He took a blanket from the closet, went outside to the living room, and took a nap on the sofa.

The alarm clock rang in the morning, and Lin Yuan reached for her phone to turn it off. She sat up, supporting her neck; the sofa was far too small for her size. She couldn't stretch out, and her sleeping posture was cramped. She woke up with a sore back and a stiff neck.

Lin Yuan twisted her neck, which cracked in response. She also stretched her muscles and bones, and after the stretching exercise, she felt much more comfortable than when she got out of bed.

I glanced at my watch; it was still early. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and headed out to buy breakfast.

When she returned with breakfast, she knocked on the door and called out from outside, "Feifei, are you up yet?"

There was no response from inside the room.

Lin Yuan called out again, and Xu Feifei responded groggily.

Xu Feifei didn't even lift her eyelids. She groped around with her hands for a while, but couldn't find anything. A powerful sleepiness pressed down on her like a mountain.

She struggled briefly, then easily gave up and went back to sleep.

After a while, Lin Yuan still couldn't hear Xu Feifei getting up. "Feifei, Feifei!"

"Yeah, I'm up," Xu Feifei replied vaguely. After lingering in bed for a while, she forced herself to get up.

I yawned widely, and when I got up to put on my shoes, I realized one was missing. Looking down, I found the other shoe under the bed.

Xu Feifei crouched under the bed, reaching out to grab it, but couldn't reach it. She lay on the floor, still unable to reach it. Finally, she stretched out her legs to reach the shoe, and this time, she finally reached it.

I dragged my shoes out, put them on, and stomped my feet triumphantly. "You think my long legs can't reach you?" This action made me feel much more awake.

When Xu Feifei opened the door, she saw Lin Yuan standing in front of her.

“Fei…” Fei, Lin Yuan was startled by the suddenly opened door.

Then, realizing what was happening, she said softly, "Feifei, it's getting late, go brush your teeth and wash your face."

"Hmm," Xu Feifei responded instinctively, then looked at Lin Yuan in surprise and asked, "Lin Yuan, how do you have a key to my room?"

“You were so tired yesterday that you fell asleep here.”

"Huh?!" Xu Feifei's eyes widened as she quickly scanned her surroundings. This really was Lin Yuan's room.

"If you slow down any further, we'll be late!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Feifei glanced at the alarm clock on the table. There were only fifteen minutes left before morning reading! She hurriedly ran to her room.

After brushing her teeth and changing her clothes, she saw Lin Yuan waiting for her outside with her schoolbag and breakfast.

Xu Feifei took her schoolbag, slung it over her shoulder, and said, "Thanks!"

The two had just arrived at the classroom when the bell rang.

Xu Feifei returned to her seat and said happily, "Luckily, I made it in time!"

Lin Yuan handed the breakfast in her hand to Xu Feifei and said, "Here you go, remember to eat breakfast after class!"

"Okay!" Xu Feifei placed the breakfast on the corner of the table, opened her book, and caught up with her classmate's reading progress.

As soon as the bell rang to end the morning reading session, Xu Feifei immediately grabbed the breakfast on the table and started eating.

"Xu Feifei, where's my breakfast?" Nangong Ye asked.

"What?" Xu Feifei looked confused.

"You didn't ask me to buy breakfast!"

"What did you promise me before? You promised to bring me two breakfasts." Nangong Ye held up two fingers, somewhat annoyed.

Xu Feifei was reminded by Nangong Ye's words that she was still trying to win over the male lead's heart and soul. She'd been so preoccupied with exams lately that she'd completely forgotten about it.

Thinking of this, she laughed awkwardly and said, "How could I forget what I promised you! I was prepared!"

Xu Feifei reached into her desk drawer and pulled out two cartons of milk and two small cakes. "Here, your breakfast!"

"You think you can fool me with this?" Nangong Ye raised an eyebrow.

"No way, this is delicious! You should try it!" Xu Feifei smiled and stuffed these things into Nangong Ye's hands.

"Don't starve yourself, eat early!"

Nangong Ye glanced down at the breakfast in his hand, his brow furrowing slightly before relaxing and he smiled. Looking at Lin Yuan, he noticed she was staring at him.

Nangong Ye asked with a smile, "Lin Yuan, do you want to eat?"

Hearing his words, Xu Feifei looked at Lin Yuan with some confusion. Lin Yuan shook his head expressionlessly and lowered his head to do his homework.

Nangong Ye saw this and happily took the small cake and milk back to his seat.

Xu Feifei felt very fortunate to see that Nangong Ye was in a good mood. Luckily, she had seen a promotion at the mall earlier, a buy-one-get-one-free offer, so she bought a few extra bottles.

Just then, the teacher walked into the classroom with a piece of paper. She said to everyone, "This paper shows the seating arrangements for this monthly exam! Class monitor, please post it on the class bulletin board later."

After assigning tasks, the teacher gave the seating chart to the class monitor and then left the classroom.

Upon seeing this, Xu Feifei hurriedly looked towards the class monitor. Seeing that no one reacted, she asked curiously, "Aren't you all curious about where you're sitting?"

“What’s so curious about that? It’s always the same classroom,” Zeng Hao interjected from the front.

"So your classrooms and seating arrangements won't change either?"

"No, our seating is arranged according to ranking. The top students are in Class A of Building A, and then it goes down to Class B, Class C..."

"Huh?! It's ranked, is that so strange?"

“Yeah, what’s so strange about that? I remember your school, B, also ranked students by grades when it came to exams, didn’t it?” Zeng Hao asked, puzzled.

This question touched on an area where Xu Feifei was unfamiliar with the subject. She quickly changed the subject, asking, "Where is Building A? Are these the classrooms?"

"No, Building A is next to East Lake. After school, I'll take you to see it?" Lin Yuan said.

"Great! East Lake?!"

"Hangzhou has West Lake, and School A has East Lake. Although they're not in the same league, they're still quite pleasing to the eye," Zeng Hao introduced enthusiastically.

Xu Feifei nodded to the side. Turning her head, she saw that the class monitor had posted the seating chart for the exam on the back. Seeing that there were few people around, she quickly went over to check the chart before anyone noticed.

"Xu Feifei, Xu Feifei..." Xu Feifei murmured her name, her fingers sliding quickly across the form.

"here."

Xu Feifei looked at the place she was pointing to and said, "Thanks! Class S in Building B, where is this?"

"Building B is located on the east side of the school, next to the lake."

"Oh, thank you!" Xu Feifei said, then turned her gaze away from the seating chart and saw Lin Xier smiling at her. She then realized that the person who had just answered her question was actually the female lead!

"You're welcome!" Lin Xier shook her head and said.

Xu Feifei nodded somewhat awkwardly and returned to her seat. She didn't know why she wanted to run away whenever she saw the female lead. Was it a matter of incompatible personalities, or a problem with her aura?

"Can you see your seat?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Yes, I saw it. It's in Class S in Building B. I heard it's also near East Lake, right?"

"Okay!" Lin Yuan nodded.

Xu Feifei suddenly exclaimed "Ah!"

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan asked worriedly.

Xu Feifei looked surprised. "I forgot to check your seating chart."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's alright, I know."

“Lin Yuan’s seat has never changed. Since the beginning of high school, her exam seat has always been the same,” Zeng Hao added from the side.

"Why? Aren't seats assigned based on exam scores?" Xu Feifei asked in surprise.

"Because Lin Yuan has consistently held the number one spot for years!" Zeng Hao's tone revealed a hint of pride, as if he were talking about her.

"Wow, I knew you were good, but I didn't expect you to be this amazing!" Xu Feifei immediately looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Seeing her expression, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile indulgently. This was the first time she had genuinely smiled from the bottom of her heart for consistently ranking first in her exams.

"Lin Yuan, you should teach me more when you have time. Is that okay?" Xu Feifei looked at her with pleading eyes and nuzzled her shoulder affectionately.

Lin Yuan enjoyed Xu Feifei's coquettishness and said after a while, "As long as you don't mind, I'll drag you to study every day!"

"Oh yeah! Lin Yuan, you're so great!" Xu Feifei said happily, hugging her.

Lin Yuan gently patted her back, her eyes crinkling into a smile, and her lips pressed into a perfect arc.

"No, I'll go check again." After saying that, Xu Feifei went to look at the seating chart posted on the back.

When she looked at the first line, sure enough, the first name was Lin Yuan. Continuing down, the second was Lin Xi'er.

The female lead is ranked second! That's unbelievable! I remember in the novels I used to read, the female lead always came in first place, and I clearly remember that the female lead in this novel entered this prestigious high school with the highest score in the entire city!

Could it be that she remembered it wrong?

Xu Feifei thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with a solution. So she simply stopped thinking about it and continued looking at the seating chart. She found the male lead's name; he was in Class S, the same class as her.

Isn't Class S supposed to be the last class? Could the male lead's grades be really bad? That doesn't make sense! I remember he participated in an English competition before. If his grades are good, then maybe the plot is starting to move forward? Is the plot wheel turning in his favor?
