The morning passed quickly, and most of the students in the classroom had left. He Xiao was still sitting at his desk, engrossed in his math problems, which made Shen Linyue want to laugh.
"You're not planning to skip lunch, are you?" Who would have thought that He Xiao, a slacker, could be so engrossed in a math problem that he would forget to eat and sleep?
She urged him to study, not to make him neglect his health. Shen Linyue's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said in a sweet and coquettish voice, "He Xiao, I'm hungry. Let's go eat."
As she spoke, her fingertips still tugged at the hem of his shirt.
He Xiao raised his head, his once dark and bright eyes now seemed to have lost their luster, becoming numb and indifferent.
"No, I'm already full." I'm full from being tortured.
Shen Linyue: ...
Seeing him like this, she felt a pang of pity.
She moved her hand on his head and comforted him contentedly, "It's okay, Xiao, we'll work on it when we get back. Didn't you say you could give me an answer this afternoon? I'm still waiting. Where do you get the energy to use your brain if you don't eat? Be good, let's finish eating first and then try harder."
He Xiao: ?
Why do I feel like she's using PUA on me?
Moreover, if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have so many troubles at all, making it seem like he did it willingly.
He Xiao slammed his hand on the table, making a loud noise, and stared at her with wolf-like eyes: "Why did you have to ask me math questions?"
His voice was low, and Shen Linyue sensed the danger that was different from before. Her expression remained unchanged, and she said with a straight face, "Nonsense, I only know you. You are my only connection in this class. If I don't ask you, who else should I ask?"
She added, sounding aggrieved, "You were being mean to me! Who knew you were so bad at math? Aren't good-looking people usually good at science? How come you're an exception?"
He Xiao: ...Speechless.
He couldn't utter a single word, and even if he wanted to refute it, he didn't know where to begin.
What do you mean by saying that being good-looking guarantees good grades in science? Is this a compliment or an insult?
Shen Linyue also lost her patience, glaring at him with red eyes and pouting so much her lips could hang a soy sauce bottle, "Go if you want, I'll go by myself. I can just walk around the school a few more times and find the cafeteria. Waaah, by the time I get there, there won't be any food left, will there?"
He muttered the last sentence softly, his slightly moist eyes seeming as if tears were about to fall at any moment, which made people feel sorry for him.
He Xiao is the kind of person who responds better to gentleness than force. The more you go against him, the more enthusiastic he becomes. If you soften your stance appropriately, He Xiao's attitude will also soften, except that he will still be stubborn.
Sure enough, after hearing her muttering, He Xiao's lips twitched, and his displeasure subsided considerably.
"All you ever think about is food, you're such a pig. Come on, I'll take you there." After getting rid of the math problem, He Xiao reverted to his cool, handsome, and roguish self, his charisma unaffected even with one arm in a sling.
Shen Linyue had deliberately provoked him. After hearing what he said, her tearful expression vanished instantly, and a cute, sweet smile returned to her face.
"If I'm a pig, then you're a little pig, hehe." She followed behind him, not forgetting to retort.
He Xiao scoffed, "You're not going to suffer even the slightest loss, are you?"
If they're both pigs, then what is their dad?
...
He Xiao walked ahead with one hand in his pocket, while Shen Linyue jogged after him, occasionally tugging at his clothes, which made He Xiao frown and glare at her warningly.
This scene was captured by someone and posted on the school forum, and the post title was quite eye-catching.
#A certain school heartthrob in Class 1 is already taken; a girl transfers schools for love, hoping to win his favor#
The poster knows how to come up with a name. At this time, everyone is free, and there are many people browsing posts and gossiping. This new post was quickly pushed to the top of the trending list by countless anonymous users.
[The composition and lighting in this photo are amazing! Is the poster not a photography enthusiast?]
【Ahhh, is that HX? I knew he was handsome, but I never expected him to be so devastatingly handsome in this photo!】
[So handsome! So beautiful! The faces of the campus romance protagonists are instantly revealed! I'm totally shipping them!]
I'd always heard how fierce HX was, but this is the first time I've seen her in a relationship. The couple is undeniably sweet.
[As a fellow student, I can vouch for you! The female lead went straight to HX as soon as she entered the classroom! HX had a sour face but didn't lay a hand on her and even tidied up her desk for her. Anyone understand that?!]
Who is hx? Is it something to be ashamed of to use pinyin?
As for the person involved in the popular post, he was immediately surrounded by stares as soon as he arrived at the cafeteria entrance.
Shen Linyue didn't think much of it, assuming it was normal for everyone to look at He Xiao because of his notorious reputation.
After another unfamiliar classmate smiled, nodded, and left, she finally couldn't help but ask He Xiao, who was in front of her.
"Are you popular at school? Why does everyone greet me?"
The girls in her class greeted her politely, but since they didn't know each other, they would just smile and nod when they saw her. It was fine once, but after a while, she felt it was strange.
It didn't seem to be because of He Xiao that she greeted him in a friendly manner.
It was strange, like the way her grandmother looked at idol dramas and idolized couples, which made her shudder.
After leaving the classroom, He Xiao kept a cold face and walked straight ahead without looking to the side, not caring about the way others looked at him.
Upon hearing Shen Linyue's words, he frowned and glanced around, indeed seeing many people looking at them with strange eyes.
"Why care so much? Can you control what other people think?" He smiled wickedly, thinking of something: "If you care, you can stay away from me."
Shen Linyue smiled and said, "If my nephew doesn't care, why should I? Hurry up and get your food. I'll find a seat and wait for you."
After saying that, he turned his head and walked towards the cafeteria hall.
