Time seemed to fly by from there.
With New Year's Day over and winter vacation just around the corner, the study atmosphere in Class 1 of Senior Three is even more intense and focused.
With Shen Linyue setting a good example, He Xiao also became more serious about his studies, and his class ranking consistently remained within the top 20.
The main reason is that He Xiao had already forgotten all the knowledge he had learned in the previous years; otherwise, he could have made even greater progress.
As a transfer student from the previous era, Shen Linyue made rapid progress, consistently ranking around tenth in the class.
The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.
After finishing the last major question, Shen Linyue slowly stopped writing and stretched her wrists. Her gaze gradually focused on Jiang Zhixing and Su Xiangxin in the front row, her expression unreadable.
Jiang Zhixing had been living in Su Xiangxin's courtyard for half a month since he moved in. Su Xiangxin said that the Jiang family's housekeeper had come to see him and advised him to go back, but Jiang Zhixing refused.
Undeterred, Jiang Yanxin turned her attention to Su Xiangxin, attempting to buy the small courtyard from her. When Jiang Zhixing found out about this, the mother and son had another argument.
After that, Jiang Yanxin never contacted Jiang Zhixing again, but the atmosphere between Jiang Zhixing and Su Xiangxin became more and more harmonious, like that of ordinary friends.
Su Xiangxin also readily accepted Jiang Zhixing's existence.
Before Shen Linyue could look away, Su Xiangxin had already walked from Jiang Zhixing's position to her side, took her hand affectionately, and said, "Yueyue, want to go to the restroom together?"
Shen Linyue looked at Su Xiangxin's hand and a smile bloomed on her face.
"Sure." See, the female lead treats her like a best friend, even the male lead has to step aside. Hehe.
The two walked towards the restroom. There weren't many people in the corridor, and Su Xiangxin gradually relaxed, though her brows remained furrowed.
"That Mrs. Jiang asked me to meet this Saturday. What do you think she means? Isn't she just annoyed that her son is bothering me?"
Her eyes held a mixture of helplessness, confusion, and frustration, like a pie chart.
Shen Linyue could see these emotions in her eyes.
"Did she say why she wanted to see you?" Shen Linyue frowned.
Su Xiangxin's fair face was almost scrunched up.
“I think she might be delusional,” Su Xiangxin hesitated for a moment, then muttered softly, “Last time she offered me money to leave Jiang Zhixing, but I refused, so maybe she’s still not giving up. I’m really puzzled, Jiang and I are just ordinary roommates, but she’s made it seem like I’m clinging to Jiang.”
Shen Linyue: "..."
She almost lost control of her expression; she had no idea that the romantic relationship between the male and female leads had only just begun to emerge.
The male lead's biological mother has already started causing trouble, so the future path for the male and female leads is destined to be difficult, all because Jiang Zhixing has such a troublesome mother.
"Does Jiang Zhixing know about this?" Shen Linyue's eyes twitched slightly, not understanding Jiang Yanxin's thought process.
She can't handle her own parent-child relationship, yet she blames strangers for the problem. If she had that kind of mindset, she could have coaxed Jiang Zhixing back long ago.
"Not yet. I plan to tell him on Friday night that whoever's mother it is, they should handle it." Su Xiangxin's eyes were full of frustration.
Shen Linyue nodded, "Okay, if Jiang Yanxin wants to meet you alone again in the future, just refuse."
She paused for a moment and then asked, "How do you feel about sharing an apartment with Jiang?"
Su Xiangxin was slightly taken aback, looked up at her and blinked: "Which aspect are you referring to?"
Shen Linyue: "?"
This thing can have many other aspects?
"Does obsessive-compulsive disorder count? He replaced all the appliances in my house, and of course, he paid for it." She was a little embarrassed when she talked about it, always feeling like she had taken advantage of him.
But thinking back to how he had that cold, aloof face and spoke those chilling words through his 36-degree mouth.
"Old appliances can easily cause fires, and I don't want to be burned to death in my sleep one day."
If it weren't for the fact that he paid for everything, Su Xiangxin would have loved to stick her tongue out at him and tell him that many of the appliances were brand new and she hadn't even used them yet, so how could they possibly catch fire?!
Of course, apart from these, the two don't usually communicate much.
"He's a very good lecturer. If I ask him a question I don't understand, I get the answer right away," Su Xiangxin said with a smile, pulling herself out of her thoughts.
Shen Linyue looked at her, her eyes sparkling with hearts. After a few seconds of silence, she nodded solemnly: "Very good. Don't waste resources. Squeeze every last drop of his knowledge out of him!"
Su Xiangxin: "..." Why does this sound a bit rough?
...
afternoon.
Jiang Zhixing listened to some grand principles in Lao Zhao's office for a while, and his expression wasn't particularly good when he came out.
Because what Lao Zhao talked about was all about the hardships his parents endured.
Jiang Zhixing wasn't stupid enough to not understand, but he thought that his mother would rather use these methods to provoke him to come home than lower her superior attitude and have a proper talk with him.
Thinking of this, a hint of mockery flashed in Jiang Zhixing's dark eyes.
"Squad Leader Jiang, what a coincidence, we've run into each other again." He Xiao's voice interrupted Jiang Zhixing's suppressed emotions.
He raised his eyes, his gaze returning to its usual cold indifference, and glanced at the textbook in his hand before curling his lips in a mocking smile.
"I thought you had changed a lot, but I didn't expect you still don't finish your homework on time, He."
He Xiao: "..." No, which eye of his saw that he didn't hand in his homework?
"Did you collect my homework this morning?" He Xiao glared at him fiercely, but remembering Shen Linyue's instructions, he calmed down and said impatiently, "I can't be bothered with you. If you don't collect my homework tomorrow, I'm going to complain to Lao Zhao about you."
After saying that, he went straight to his office.
Jiang Zhixing: "?"
So you're blaming him for this?
He recalled the scene a few months ago when he asked He Xiao to hand in his homework, wondering who was looking impatient.
Realizing something, Jiang Zhixing stopped, his blank expression vanishing as he returned to silence.
Yes, even someone as incompetent as He Xiao has improved his business...
He thought of Lin Yue's face again, wishing he had an aunt who always thought of him like that.
However, on the way back, a petite and slender figure blocked his path.
Jiang Zhixing frowned and looked over, meeting Lin Yue's ambiguous smiling eyes.
Jiang Zhixing: "..." Is this family never going to stop?
He's an NPC, why are these two just sitting here doing this and doing this?
"What is it?" Jiang Zhixing asked coldly, clearly annoyed.
Shen Linyue did not back down in the slightest because of his cold face; instead, she smiled innocently.
"Does Jiang have some time? Let's talk."
Jiang Zhixing's eyes were strange: "...You really didn't conspire with He Xiao to frame me?"
Shen Linyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Jiang Zhixing composed himself, frowning, "What do you want to say? Can't we talk here?"
Shen Linyue looked at him thoughtfully and slowly shook her head, "I don't think it will work."
She laughed, "It's better to talk about your business somewhere else."
Jiang Zhixing's expression darkened slightly as he stared intently at her. "What do you mean?"
