This completely stumped Li, the school beauty, once again.

What kind of person is this? Can't they even offer a defense?

Besides, is it that hard to tell? Do you need to praise it?

Heaven help me, Li Qingshu has never seen such a shameless boy in her eighteen years of life.

But her thoughts are so jumpy that she can't keep up with a few sentences.

After praising her, Chu Yang changed the subject: "I did have a purpose in getting close to you, but it wasn't to spite Su Lingxue."

"Why is that?" Li Qingshu asked subconsciously.

"You know, for the past two and a half years, I've been revolving around her every day. I've been the simp, the backup plan, the one staying up all night, and the one who broke down. It's me, it's me, and it's still me..."

"Get to the point!" Even Li Qingshu, who always spoke softly, was getting a little frantic.

"Hey, don't interrupt, you're ruining my mood."

"..."

Chu Yang said firmly, "The point is, my grades are terrible, and I need a super-achiever like you to help me so that I can shine in the college entrance exam, get into the best university, and make Su Lingxue regret dumping me today!"

Li Qingshu indeed grasped the key point: "It seems like you dumped her."

Chu Yang blinked: "Really? Don't worry about these details, they're not important."

Li Qingshu was speechless for a moment. After thinking about it seriously, she said, "If I remember correctly, you barely made it to a second-tier university in the last mock exam. You only have one month left. Do you want to get into a prestigious university? No way. I can't help you."

"Even a 985 university won't do?" Chu Yang asked.

"985 is already a top-tier university."

"Then 211 will do, right? The standards can't be lowered any further."

You're dreaming.

"Is it that difficult? Never mind then." Chu Yang continued eating.

This nonchalant attitude left Li Qingshu speechless once again.

So you're giving up already?

Didn't you say you were going to make Su Lingxue regret it?

Where did that resounding momentum go?

Who is this person...?

Seeing that Chu Yang didn't speak, Li Qingshu started eating.

After taking a couple of slow bites, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "You gave your meal ticket to Su Lingxue, so how did you get your food just now?"

Chu Yang casually said, "Oh, I just told the cafeteria lady that I lost my ticket and begged her to give me a meal. She's a kind person. She saw that I'm handsome and speaks nicely, so she gave me a few extra pieces of meat."

Li Qingshu was immediately surprised: "Huh? You can do that? Didn't you say you couldn't do it without a meal ticket..."

"Rules are rules, but people are flexible," Chu Yang said with a smile.

Li Qingshu was at a loss for words.

So, in reality, Chu Yang gave her his meal ticket.

He kept Su Lingxue's meal tickets without using them, and then shamelessly went to the window to beg for food.

Putting aside the whole farce, I was actually helping her.

Why am I feeling a little touched?

"He just said that Su Lingxue wanted to dump him, so he brought it up first, probably to save face. He seems indifferent, but he must be feeling really bad inside..." Li Xiaohua started to imagine.

"He said he wanted to get good grades so that Su Lingxue would regret it, and that should be true."

"Perhaps...we should help him?"

“Um…” Li Qingshu hesitated for a moment before saying, “I can help you, but time is limited. I can only lend you my notes. If you don’t understand any questions, you can ask me. If you want to get into a good school, you still have to rely on your own efforts.”

"Really?" Chu Yang looked up at him, a sunny smile on his face, and said gratefully, "Then thank you in advance."

Li Qingshu nodded: "Keep it up."

Chu Yang smiled and nodded.

At this moment, I felt that Li Qingshu was far superior to Su Lingxue in terms of appearance, temperament, and kind heart.

However, he had no intention of flirting with her.

Although Chu Yang had mastered advanced flirting techniques, he couldn't withstand the relentless whipping of the college entrance examination looming behind him.

Even if he's in the mood to talk, the girl won't allow him to be so presumptuous.

So you should focus on your studies.

My grades weren't great to begin with, and I'd wasted another twenty years. Having the support of a beautiful and academically gifted girl was better than nothing.

In short, give it your all and maybe you'll get a good score, thanks to the aura of being reborn.

Thinking about what to do next, I ate a little slowly.

"I've finished eating, thank you." Li Qingshu finished eating first, got up, and walked away with her lunchbox.

Chu Yang snapped out of his daze and finished the food in the lunchbox in a few bites. Although the taste wasn't great, it was filled with the nostalgia of twenty years ago.

After finishing his meal, he went to the sink, washed the lunchbox, and put it on the shelf.

Then, under the scorching midday sun, I slowly walked across the school playground.

Li Qingshu, who was on her way back to the classroom, happened to see this scene.

I think Chu Yang might really be heartbroken.

Otherwise, who would want to run around in the midday sun on the playground?

"He wants to improve his grades, so I should help him more," she thought to herself.

Little did they know that Chu Yang simply wanted to stroll around the campus he hadn't visited in twenty years.

I regretted it almost immediately.

"Damn, it's so hot!"

So I went to the school store and bought an old-fashioned popsicle before returning to the classroom.

As soon as I entered the classroom, I was met with the gaze of the entire class.

Needless to say, everyone already knew about the breakup with Su Lingxue and the scene that unfolded in the cafeteria.

At this moment, Chu Yang is a walking hot topic, and wherever he goes, invisible gossip surrounds him from afar.

Among these eyes burning with gossip, two gazes held a sharp edge.

Needless to say, it was Su Lingxue and Wang Xiaoli.

Chu Yang ignored them and walked to the last row of seats based on his memory.

My deskmate is Han Dachun. We live nearby, so we always go home for lunch.

Da Chun was his good friend in high school. He was tall and strong, but a bit silly. He was the kind of guy that would intimidate people at first glance, but would make them want to tease him after a few words.

He had obviously been there for a while; explosive news was flying around, and everyone who needed to know already knew.

"I've heard about everything. To sum it up in two words," Han Dachun said, giving a thumbs up: "A role model!"

Chu Yang smiled slightly: "It's all thanks to the students' kind words. I'm ashamed."

Han Dachun was even more impressed and lowered his voice to lean closer, saying, "So, it's true that you made Su Lingxue have an abortion and then abandoned her after starting the affair?"

Chu Yang: "???"
