When did the turning point occur?

Oh, it seems to be that day.

During the self-study class, everyone was busy doing their homework. Of course, there were also some students who were slacking off and doing other things, such as Lin Sitian.

Her good sister Yang Xuelin just sent her a novel website yesterday. Even though Lin Sitian thought she had read countless articles, she was dazzled by the colorful novels on it. She sighed that it was great to be alive in this world. She read until late at night. This afternoon, during the self-study class when the teacher was not in the classroom, she could not help but take out her mobile phone from the desk to carefully appreciate the human literature that she did not finish reading last night.

Of course, she wasn't so blatant. After all, Zhou Sheng was sitting next to her, so she lay face down on the edge of the table, using her open school uniform jacket to block the light from her phone so that people around her wouldn't have any chance of noticing. From an outsider's perspective, she looked more like she was catching up on sleep.

As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat, and Lin Sitian soon verified this old saying.

Because she was so excited, she didn't hold the phone tightly and it fell to the ground. With a "bang", it bounced to the edge of the aisle, at Zhou Sheng's feet, facing upwards with the screen brightly lit, attracting everyone's attention.

Lin Si thought to herself that something was wrong, but the moment she looked up she realized that this was not the point. What was even worse was that the teacher had walked into the classroom without her noticing and stopped at the table in front of them.

Lin Sitian panicked because the teacher had already seen the phone dropped on the side of the aisle and was about to bend down.

She quickly pushed Zhou Sheng, who was concentrating on his homework, and shouted, "Zhou Sheng! Your phone fell!"

Zhou Sheng was pushed by her for no apparent reason, and before he could react, he turned around and saw that the teacher's hand had touched the phone, and his eyes fell on the phone screen at the same time.

What is more eye-catching than the text below is that the website is so dazzlingly pink, so dazzling that it is heartbreaking and really makes me blush and my heart beat fast.

It's over! Lin Sitian's mind was distorted into the scene of "The Scream".

Just as the teacher was about to pick up the phone, Zhou Sheng took advantage of his proximity and grabbed the phone first, moving it quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.

The old teacher's efforts were in vain, and when he stood up, he looked at Zhou Sheng with a strange look in his eyes.

"Your cell phone?" asked the teacher.

Zhou Sheng was silent for a moment and nodded.

Teacher: "Bring it here for me to see."

Lin Sitian was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and her hands were tightly clutching the corner of Zhou Sheng's clothes under the table.

Pulled a little.

This was the first time in Zhou Sheng's life that he did something bad in front of the teacher. He tightly closed his lips and straightened his throat. He clenched his hands holding the phone tightly under his body, and looked up at the teacher for three full seconds before saying, "Teacher, I have a question to ask."

“……” Lin Sitian wanted to bang her head against the table and pass out, not daring to watch what happened next.

——How can there be such an abrupt way to change the subject?

Destroy the Earth, so that my life and death are insignificant compared to the survival of mankind.

"Zhou Sheng." Of course the teacher would not be fooled so easily.

"Teacher, seriously, I don't know the answer to this question. I've been thinking about it for a long time." Zhou Sheng held it in for a long time, his ears turned red, but his tone was sincere enough.

The old teacher looked at him carefully for a few more times, and understood with an indescribable look.

"Which one?"

Lin Sitian's eyes widened. Is this possible? She pretended to take out her textbook and started to memorize words. She pricked up her ears to listen to what was going on around her. Unfortunately, the math problems they were talking about were like a mystery to her. She was actually very skeptical. Was there really a problem that Zhou Sheng couldn't solve?

After about six or seven minutes, the teacher finally finished explaining the questions. He stood up and patted Zhou Sheng on the shoulder to remind him, "Zhou Sheng, I know you study so hard and feel stressed. It's good to relax appropriately, but you have to pay attention to the method. Besides, school is still a place where you need to study hard."

Zhou Sheng held the pen, his knuckles turning white, and nodded and whispered, "Okay, teacher."

As soon as the teacher walked away with his hands behind his back, Lin Sitian crouched down and nervously approached Zhou Sheng, beckoning him under the table: "Cell phone, cell phone."

Zhou Sheng turned his head and looked at her.

Lin Sitian felt embarrassed by his gaze, and said with a humble look, "Thank you, benefactor."

She usually spoke carelessly, but suddenly she spoke so sweetly and coquettishly that Zhou Sheng shuddered.

The two of them were so close, their arms pressed together, the spring school uniform jackets rustling from the friction, the warmth of the other person coming through the fabric, the heat source being transferred. This was the most intimate distance the two had ever been at since they became desk mates.

Zhou Sheng's face suddenly turned redder and he subconsciously moved aside a little.

But he didn't return the phone to her immediately.

"Why are you reading a novel in the classroom?" he asked.

Lin Sitian quickly showed him what it meant to be stubborn: "I didn't!"

Zhou Sheng sneered. This was the first time he saw his deskmate so flustered, like a frightened rabbit jumping up and down.

He fished his phone out of the drawer and brought it under the table between them, but still held it in his hand.

Lin Sitian wanted to grab it, but Zhou Sheng lowered his voice and reminded her softly, "Do you want it to fall again?"

Lin Sitian retracted his hand and raised it up, indicating that he would never act rashly, and he didn't want it either.

"You, you hold it well, hold it steady, Zhou Sheng."

Treat it like a bomb.

"Yeah." Zhou Sheng's eyes fell on the phone screen again.

Lin Sitian began to regret why she did not set the screen to sleep. At this moment, the title of that chapter was particularly eye-catching on the screen: The Cold and Beautiful Prince’s Journey to Chasing His Wife.

Seeing his eyes sliding down the text, perhaps because of the guilty conscience of doing something wrong, Lin Sitian came over and blocked the space between them with her body. She bumped heads with Zhou Sheng and whispered under the table: "...Don't look."

At this time, he had already skimmed through half of the chapter. It was not a novel at all, but a record of Lin Sitian's social death in the human world. It was filled with the tears and blood of Lin Sitian's life, and the red was particularly bright.

The blood was about to drip out of the capillaries on Lin Sitian's face.

"Didn't you say there wasn't any?" He continued to flip through the pages.

Lin Sitian really couldn't stand being punished in front of him, so she grabbed the phone. Because she didn't dare to snatch it with force, she could only hold his hand through the phone.

"Yes, yes, yes - Zhou Sheng...can you please stop looking at me?" She felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke.

Of course Zhou Sheng heard it and paused.

The two of them were only inches apart, and she didn't dare to speak loudly during the study class. She could only beg him in a mosquito-like voice not to continue to mentally whip herself. Her voice was hoarse, but in the end she still used the killer move that is unique to girls.

It’s not that she can’t be reckless, but Zhou Sheng just saved her life, so she can at least avoid being criticized for a week.

But how come... so close?

Their heads had been brought together, almost forehead to forehead. She could see the dim light of the phone screen and the words on the mirror of Zhou Sheng's glasses reflected in his eyes. She could also hear his breathing when he was not speaking.

Lips. Her eyes fell on that softness.

The darkness under the table amplified the momentary ambiguity.

She also saw his Adam's apple roll as he swallowed, and he happened to be looking at her at that time.

"So..." He realized that the brief silence between the two of them was strange, and asked again, "Why are you watching this in the classroom?"

Lin Sitian coughed lightly: "When people are young, they all love to watch."

"Do you have to retake Chinese?" Zhou Sheng said weakly with a frown.

"So what do you want to hear? Why are you asking me?"

“……”Yes, why did he ask her?

What does Lin Sitian’s matter have to do with Zhou Sheng? He inexplicably took the blame for her.

It was only then that Zhou Sheng noticed that their hands were still holding each other, although there was a cell phone between them and only the edges of their hands were barely touching. But when he realized it, the girl's fingertips, with the slight coolness of early spring, touched his skin, as if pressing a switch, sending bursts of barely perceptible numbing electricity.

"Zhou Sheng?"

When she spoke, her rosy lips changed shape, and even when she called his name, it sounded soft.

He hurriedly stuffed the phone into her hand as if it were a hot potato.

"Go and read a book." He turned around, picked up the pen on the table, and planned to immerse himself in his favorite sea of ​​books and homework again.

Lin Sitian lowered her head and fiddled with her phone: "Oh."

"——Not that one!" Zhou Sheng clearly didn't look at her, but he suddenly became nervous.

"Okay, I'll just close the webpage."

Since her face was gone, Lin Sitian, who was running naked, smiled and replied. After the incident of picking up the phone, the relationship between Lin Sitian and Zhou Sheng gradually improved. Lin Sitian changed more. Sometimes she would suddenly bring Zhou Sheng a tea egg or put a few candies on his desk. Lin Sitian said that this was an offering of love.

Respect and love for the savior.

After all, she and Zhou Sheng are not the same type of people. She likes to read novels and comics and watch TV dramas, while Zhou Sheng only cares about various types of questions. To Lin Sitian, such a person is too boring, as if he was a robot born to do questions.

But this may not be the case for other girls.

Zhou Sheng seems to be becoming more and more popular.

After cutting his hair, Zhou Sheng looks much more refreshed, and not as refreshing as he did with a buzz cut. Although he still wears a pair of thick glasses, he has already revealed his potential to be a handsome guy. After all, those are just glasses, not a mask.

More and more classmates started talking to him and asking him questions. Every time after class or after school, there would always be someone coming up to their desk, sometimes more than one. Boys are generally more assertive and prefer to solve problems on their own, so most of the time they come to the desk are girls.

This made Lin Sitian very anxious. It was supposed to be time for relaxation, but he couldn't get any peace. All that lingered in his ears was Zhou Sheng's gentle voice as he patiently explained the questions to people, and from time to time he could hear the girls' exaggerated exclamations of sudden enlightenment. But this really worked for Zhou Sheng, and he was immersed in it.

Lin Sitian was very unhappy. In her eyes, Zhou Sheng was like a peacock that was ready to spread its feathers at any time, except that every feather on his tail that he showed to others was a knowledge point he had mastered. He liked to discuss problems with others, and he also liked the sense of accomplishment when his problem-solving ideas were understood by others, but this was an area that Lin Sitian had no interest in.

Besides, he doesn't care who asks him. As long as someone comes to him, he will tell them. No, even if the person who comes to him is not a human, he can still tell them.

At this moment, he had just dealt with a female classmate. Lin Sitian supported her forehead with one hand and tilted her head to look at him, thinking that this peacock had spread its feathers again.

"Do you have any questions, too?" Zhou Sheng noticed she was staring at him as soon as he turned around.

Lin Sitian was not in a hurry after being discovered. She pointed to a question in the exercise book and said, "This one."

Zhou Sheng adjusted his glasses and leaned over: "Oh, this question."

See, anyone can do it, even a poor student like her.

"Aren't you right about this question?" Zhou Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Guessed." Multiple choice question.

Although she just randomly picked the question, her explanation was factual, as she wrote it in the three seconds when she was out of her body.

Zhou Sheng was startled by her, and took the draft paper from the side and calculated for her on the paper.

Lin Sitian listened at first, even if she was just asking to please him, at least he had taken the trouble to help her, and she couldn't let him down. But as she listened, Lin Sitian's thoughts drifted away, and her head slowly fell down on her left arm, resting her head on the exercise book, staring at Zhou Sheng's flying pen.

His handwriting is really beautiful.

The fingers look nice too.

"Lin Sitian?"

The sound is not that of a subwoofer, but it is very comfortable to listen to.

"Lin Sitian."

Lin Sitian's eyes were almost closed when his voice woke her up.

"I'm listening, I'm listening!" Lin Sitian's attempt to hide her words only made them more obvious.

Oh no, he will be angry. He was explaining the problem to her with good intentions, but she almost fell asleep. Lin Sitian was still thinking about how to explain her distraction just now, but Zhou Sheng tilted his head and asked her: "Don't you understand what I said?"

It sounded like a sarcastic statement, but it was quite different when it came from Zhou Sheng's mouth. At least he asked it seriously.

Lin Sitian pursed her lips, still tilting her head and half-lying over the exercise book, shaking her arm that was spread on the table, and tentatively said, "Zhou Sheng."

"how?"

"You can't."

Zhou Sheng was a little confused.

"The solution you gave is so difficult..."

Zhou Sheng's expression froze, as if he was greatly shocked.

"I don't know. I don't understand. Is it true that only top students can answer this kind of questions? Is it true that poor students like us are doomed to have no future? Tell me, Doctor Zhou. Tell me how many days I can live..."

She became more and more addicted to the act and even started to pretend crying.

"No, it's not difficult. Just wait a moment." Zhou Sheng suddenly patted her head, as if comforting a child.

Just two seconds and Lin Sitian was stunned.

There was still the warmth of his palm on my forehead.

Warm.

Her chest felt numb as Lin Sitian stared blankly at Zhou Sheng staring at the draft paper, as if he was reflecting on whether the solution he had given was reasonable. There seemed to be a universe hidden in his serious eyes, boundless and deep. It was a world she didn't know.

[It’s not difficult, just wait a moment.]

He didn't laugh at her for being stupid.

He did not feel superior just because he was the top student in his grade.

He said, it’s not difficult, just wait a moment, and it seemed that if he just waited a moment, he would be able to find the gap between them and then fill it up.

Lin Sitian clenched her hands, and suddenly an unknown throbbing began to surge.

Later, Zhou Sheng really did it.

He patiently guided her step by step and solved the problem for her in a way that Lin Sitian could understand.

It took fifteen minutes.

Teach her to solve a multiple-choice question.

The moment Lin Sitian calculated the correct answer, Zhou Sheng smiled.

But Lin Sitian had a question in her mind that she could never solve.
