Chapter 4 Am I a Hateful Person?
Class is in session.
The math teacher came in holding the test papers, and the math class representative handed out the test papers one by one.
While the test papers were being distributed, Ruan Chao turned around and looked back.
Gu Xingyan sat in the last row near the corner.
The overly long bangs covered the boy's eyes, and because he lowered his head, from Ruan Chao's perspective, he could only see his smooth lines and slightly pointed jaw.
He seemed not to notice Nguyen Chao's gaze, or even if he noticed it, he didn't care at all and continued to do his own thing.
He took off his wet school uniform, folded it neatly and placed it on an empty seat at the side. He wore a light blue shirt underneath, the sleeves were a little white because it had been washed too many times.
Gu Xingyan casually rolled up his slightly long sleeves, took out a pen, and began to calculate formulas on a piece of scratch paper.
Ruan Chao squinted his eyes and saw that what was placed on his desk was actually a physics test paper.
Doing physics problems in math class? How brave!
"Ruan Chao, your paper."
The class representative who was distributing the test papers came to Ruan Chao and handed him a test paper.
"Oh, thank you."
Nguyen Chao took it and saw a familiar number.
143 points.
I got a five-point multiple-choice question wrong, and the remaining two points were deducted from the big question that followed.
Ruan Chao took a quick glance at the test paper. The types and difficulty of the questions were roughly the same as in his original world, with no major differences.
Fortunately, the accident happened on the day the college entrance examination ended. If it had happened a few months later, after he went to college, he might not have been able to solve these problems.
Ruan Chao put the test paper aside. The boy in front of him turned around and came over curiously. When he saw the score on his test paper, his pupils dilated and a cry of surprise was suppressed in his throat.
He turned around to look at his test paper, which was covered with bright red crosses. He had made ridiculous mistakes on some of the questions, and the teacher must have been emotional when marking his papers. The tip of his pen pierced through the thin paper, leaving a capital X with murderous intent.
He only scored 35 points out of 150, not even a fraction of Nguyen Dynasty's score.
The boy turned the paper over, unable to bear to look at the pitifully low score. Thinking of having to sort out the wrong questions later, he knocked on Ruan Chao's desk with his knuckles. When the boy raised his eyes to look at him, he immediately put his hands together in a gesture of supplication.
"Please lend me the test paper after class, Ruan Chao."
Ruan Chao smiled at him good-naturedly with his eyes narrowed, and nodded to indicate that he agreed.
After that, several people came to borrow papers from Nguyen Chao, and he was very easy to talk to and agreed to borrow them one by one.
Nguyen Chao's vicious attributes only correspond to the male protagonist. He will only lose his temper with the male protagonist and reveal his true face. In front of other people, he pretends to be a gentle and kind little white flower.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw Gu Xingyan also got the test paper.
The score on the test paper is very eye-catching, 140.
Three points lower than him.
Surprise flashed in Ruan Chao's eyes.
It’s not that I’m surprised that Gu Xingyan’s score is so high. After all, he is the protagonist of this world. There’s nothing to be surprised about even if he gets full marks.
He just didn't expect Gu Xingyan's score to be lower than his.
In the Nguyen Dynasty's view, it is reasonable that the protagonist should be the first to kill everyone and no one can compare to him.
He couldn't help but turned around and looked at Gu Xingyan again.
When everyone in the class was facing the blackboard and looking at the teacher, a hairy head suddenly turned in front of them, which was too conspicuous.
You don't need to look up specifically, you can easily catch it out of the corner of your eye.
Gu Xingyan moved his fingers slightly, ignored him, lowered his head and continued to do the questions.
He worked too late last night and didn't get home until three in the morning. By the time he finished tidying up and lay in bed, it was already three-thirty in the morning.
His brain was groggy, like a rusty clock, and it was moving with great difficulty. Normally, he could easily get the answer by just taking a glance at the question, but now he couldn't find the right idea after thinking for a long time.
At Haicheng No. 1 Middle School, morning reading begins at seven in the morning. In order not to be late, Gu Xingyan needs to get up at six, so he only slept for two and a half hours.
It would be fine if it happened occasionally, but Gu Xingyan hadn't slept for four hours a night for a week in a row.
The continuous staying up late and irregular meals made his stomach always in a state of spasm, and it would cramp from time to time, making its presence felt.
He felt his body getting slightly warm, but his hands and feet were getting colder and colder, and he was about to be unable to feel them.
His fingers kept shaking, so that the formulas he wrote were crooked and looked very ugly.
The pen in his hand seemed to be out of control, drawing a series of intermittent black lines on the notebook. He exerted some strength to hold it and finally stopped the pen.
Gu Xing had already experienced the disease and was very aware that he had a fever, with the temperature between 38 and 39 degrees Celsius.
This temperature won't kill you. The temperature will go down in about two hours after taking antipyretics.
Gu Xingyan skillfully took out the medicine box from his schoolbag, and after opening it, he found only an empty medicine box inside. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had taken the last pill last night and did not have time to buy more this morning.
There is no medicine...what should I do?
Do you want to take a leave?
Gu Xingyan raised his head and looked at the teacher on the podium.
The head teacher with a neat ponytail was explaining a math problem passionately. She said that this simple type of question had been explained countless times, so it couldn't be wrong. At the same time, she tried hard to suppress her anger that was about to explode and continued to explain it seriously.
Gu Xingyan glanced at the physics paper he was writing with some hesitation, and realized belatedly that this class was not a physics class, but a mathematics class.
He touched his forehead and felt burned by the excessive temperature.
Is he so feverish that he can't even tell the difference between a math teacher and a physics teacher?
But he clearly remembered that the physics class representative had just handed him the physics test paper... Gu Xingyan took out the paper from the compartment and squinted to check it.
Oh, it’s the math paper.
Even though Gu Xingyan had never cared about his health, he realized the seriousness of the problem at this moment.
In his condition, he really should go to the hospital. If he continues like this, he might get burned into a fool.
However, if you go to the hospital, you have to go through a lot of procedures. If the condition is serious, the doctor will ask you to stay for an IV drip, which will waste a lot of time.
After school, he had to tutor a junior high school student, and then work as a network administrator in an Internet cafe. He didn't get off work until 1 a.m. and had no time to go to the hospital for treatment.
If I don't go to work for a day, I will lose 500 yuan. If I go to the hospital for treatment, it will cost at least 400 to 500 yuan, which adds up to a total of 1,000 yuan.
A lot of money.
Gu Xingyan convinced himself and felt that it was not impossible for him to hold on a little longer.
After class, I went to the infirmary and bought a box of painkillers. After taking one pill, all the pain disappeared and I no longer felt uncomfortable.
Gu Xingyan put down his pen and wanted to take a nap.
The unblinking gaze from another person kept his nerves slightly tense, making it difficult for him to relax, let alone close his eyes and rest.
Gu Xingyan had never experienced such a situation before.
He has never had much of a presence in the class, and few people would notice him, let alone turn around to look at him.
But this person had been staring at him for half the class, as if there was something about him that attracted his attention. From time to time, he would turn around and stare at him inexplicably for a while.
Gu Xingyan opened his eyes, turned his gaze, and fixed his gaze on Ruan Chao's face.
The young man didn't seem to expect that he would suddenly look at him. His eyes flickered for a moment, and the next moment he looked back decisively.
Open your eyes wide.
stare--
It was as if I was playing a game with him where whoever looks away first loses.
Gu Xingyan: “…”
He didn't know most of the people in the class, and he couldn't even say they looked familiar. He also had no impression of the boy who had been staring at him.
Thinking about how he had brought two people to lock him in the toilet, pushed him to the ground without any courtesy, and soiled the clothes he had just washed and dried this morning... and then said some inexplicable words in his ear to threaten and intimidate him, like the long-tailed bird in the garden downstairs of his house that started chirping before dawn and was very noisy.
Gu Xingyan couldn't help but frown and showed a puzzled expression. Did he offend him in any way?
He searched his memory, making sure and affirming that there had never been any intersection between the two of them before.
His ill will towards him seemed one-sided, without basis or reason.
Gu Xingyan couldn't figure it out, and didn't plan to continue paying attention to irrelevant people.
Just as he was about to look away, he saw Ruan Chao looked away first.
Someone was calling him.
The young man with beautiful features had eyes curved into a crescent shape, and a faint pear-shaped vortex was revealed under his right cheek, like a bowl of sweet honey.
His smile was gentle and cute, and he always spoke in a soft voice when talking to others. He seemed to be a person with a very good temper who would never get angry.
——Completely different from the arrogant and domineering attitude he showed when facing him, it was like two completely different people.
The person at the table in front of him borrowed his eraser.
Ruan Chao rubbed the corners of his stiff smile, then he remembered that the tug-of-war with Gu Xingyan had not yet been decided.
He pursed the corners of his lips and glared at Gu Xingyan fiercely. Even the curled corners of his eyes showed his unhappy attitude.
Gu Xingyan's eyes changed slightly, a little surprised by the contrast of the Nguyen Dynasty.
Am I some nasty person that you hate me so much?
“Boom boom boom…”
The math teacher knocked on the blackboard at the right moment.
Hearing the voice, Ruan Chao quickly turned his head and sat down obediently.
The teacher's eyes lingered on him for a moment, and he said sternly, "Please pay attention, students. Don't always look back. There is no answer in the back."
Because Nguyen Chao had always performed well and had good grades, and the teacher liked him very much, so he just gave him a few casual reminders and didn't say anything more extreme.
Seeing that his satisfied student realized his mistake and raised his head to listen attentively again, the teacher finally softened his expression.
"Okay, let's move on to the next question."
…
After finally getting through school, Ruan Chao felt as if his energy had been sucked away by a demon. He felt weak from the inside out and his body felt hollowed out.
He packed his schoolbag and followed the crowd out.
At the end of the corridor, the boy's thin figure flashed past the sight.
Ruan Chao paused for a moment, pretended not to see it and continued walking forward.
Now he was tired and hungry and didn't really feel like going to work.
