Chapter03
Jiang Xu, who was added to WeChat as she wished, was smiling all afternoon, even during English class.
When the get out of class was over, Jiang Xu was suddenly called by the head teacher Wang Yuguang. He thought he was caught truant in class and kept his head down to prepare for the excuse.
Wang Yuguang walked to the desk, slowly picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then handed her a form and said kindly, "Student Jiang Xu, there's a physics competition in the city, and only one person from each class can participate. I've considered your previous grades and these past ones and decided to choose you. What do you think?"
Jiang Xu thought about it and realized that his physics grades were pretty good. He took the form and nodded, "Okay."
Wang Yuguang smiled with satisfaction, and looked at Jiang Xu with more and more admiration. What a nice girl, not arrogant or impatient, good-looking, and good at physics.
"Okay, fill out this form first, and then take these tutorial books. Every afternoon during the last self-study period, there's a tutor in the multimedia classroom in the North Building. The exams are in December, so the schedule is tight and the content is quite extensive. Tutoring starts today, so remember to go."
"Okay." Jiang Xu filled out the form and agreed, thinking in his mind that He Jin was so good at science, he should go.
——
During the last class in the afternoon, Jiang Xu carried her schoolbag to the multimedia classroom. The seats in the front row were almost full. The teacher didn't come and everyone was writing furiously. She looked around but didn't see He Jin. She sighed in her heart. She should have expected this. He Jin was so good at physics and he probably wouldn't come for tutoring.
Jiang Xu sat in the relatively empty back row, pulled out the physics competition book, flipped through the table of contents, looked at the arrangement, and found that the question types were basically the same as those he usually did.
She was very interested in physics and chemistry when she was in junior high school. She had taught herself all the science content of junior high school by the second year of junior high school. She also did a lot of difficult problems in her daily life. Sometimes she responded to some questions faster than the teacher. She basically got full marks in every exam. She did not do too badly in high school and has been the number one until now.
It took her almost half an hour to finish the first lecture. She was particularly confused when doing the questions and didn't know when the teacher would come. She was in the middle of the lecture at the podium when He Jin still didn't come. She held her chin and listened to the teacher for a while. She was about to lower her head to look at tomorrow's content when a slightly muffled report came from the door.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Xu raised her head and looked toward the door. He Jin was still standing there, his hand still in the knocking position, somewhat lazily, as if he hadn't expected He Jin to come. This caused a small commotion in the classroom. The teacher didn't even glance at the door, just said "Come in," and continued to lecture enthusiastically.
He Jin didn't bring any books, not even a pen. His hands were tucked into his school uniform pockets. He wasn't wearing a hat, and his hair, a bit long, hung down in front of his forehead. He strode lazily to the last row, found a seat, and sat down, propping his chin on one hand. It was unclear whether he was paying attention to the class.
Jiang Xu glanced behind her and then at the podium. The teacher was writing on the blackboard. She picked up the book and considerately got a pen for He Jin. She moved it stealthily under the table and moved stealthily towards the aisle.
One step, two steps, three steps... Jiang Xu walked up the stairs carefully. It was very difficult. She was really glad that she didn't sit in the front.
Finally she reached the last row. When she looked up, she saw He Jin's eyes on her. When he saw her looking at him, he raised his eyebrows slightly, his hand still resting on his chin.
Jiang Xu was stunned. She was obsessed with looks and would take a second look at anything good. She was so obsessed with the beauty in front of her that she lost track of the world and her heart was beating wildly.
It looks so exciting.
The school hunk of No. 3 Middle School really lives up to his reputation.
She moved slowly inside, and subconsciously handed the book over to make it easier to move.
He Jin took the call. Just as Jiang Xu was trying to sit up by prying at the chair, the teacher's rather sharp voice came from the stage: "Students hiding under their seats in the last row, please stand up and answer this question."
Hearing this, everyone turned to look over.
Jiang Xu was startled and stood up quickly, bumping into the edge of the table, but surprisingly it didn't hurt much. He didn't have time to react. He looked at the variation of the example question written by the teacher on the blackboard, thought for a few seconds, and gave the answer directly.
The teacher was also a little surprised that she could answer so quickly. She glanced at the blackboard in confusion. She remembered that it was a difficult example problem with deformation. She actually got the answer without any calculation. After checking the answer to make sure it was correct, she said, "Okay, sit down and stop hiding under the table. Let's move on to the next problem."
Jiang Xu let out a breath and sat down, rubbed the top of her head that had just been hit, and turned to look at He Jin. He was turning a pen in one hand and flipping through a book with the other, as if he was looking at the question she had just written.
She accidentally glanced at his hand and saw a faint red mark on the back of his white hand. She immediately reacted, blinked, and her heart rate seemed to be off the charts.
Before he could speak, He Jin pointed at the last big question and said in a low and lazy voice: "This is wrong."
"Impossible." She retorted immediately, leaning over to take a look at her problem-solving process. The formula was correct and the steps were correct.
He Jin looked at her confident eyes for two seconds, then suddenly laughed twice. He pointed to a number in her steps, then to the number in the big question, and said, "This needs to be squared."
Jiang Xu: ...
At this moment, the back door of the multimedia classroom was carefully opened a crack, and three heads popped out at the same time. Song Li, who was at the bottom, was a little overwhelmed by the pressure. "Get the hell out of the way! I'm going to be crushed to death!"
The man in the middle turned a deaf ear to them. "Fuck! I was wondering why Jin didn't go play basketball with us? Turns out he's here flirting with some girls."
"Damn! Take it easy, you won't know how you'll die in the future." Xie Yiming slapped him on the head.
"...Xiao Wen has made great contributions this time."
—Ten minutes ago
Song Li held the ball in one hand and a water cup in the other: "Come on, Brother Jin, let's go play basketball. What did Xiao Wen want to see you for? It took you so long."
"About the physics competition."
Song Li uttered an "oh" and casually said, "But I heard that Jiang Xu is really good at physics. She always got full marks in the past. Maybe she will be invited to participate."
He hadn't asked much about the other ones before, but he had asked quite a bit about this one. Judging from recent events, Jiang Xu had a bright future. Apart from anything else, she was just pleasing to the eye, confident and generous, which matched Brother Jin's rather dour personality.
He Jin ignored him and continued reading with his eyes lowered.
"Brother Jin, go play basketball." Song Li patted the basketball in his hand.
He Jin closed the book and was silent for a few seconds. "I won't go today. I have classes later."
Song Li nodded, "Okay, I'll go.
"Um."
——Thinking of this, Song Li really had to praise himself for being smart. He pulled everyone over halfway and saw that their cold and ruthless Brother Jin was being flirted with.
The teacher stayed in class for a while, and He Jin left as soon as the bell rang. It was like he was just there for fun. However, Jiang Xu was very satisfied. She took advantage of the situation and asked him several questions. He actually patiently solved them all, which was beyond her expectation.
Jiang Xu was thinking about what had just happened. She went to the front to pack up her things when she heard a voice in a bad tone, "Are you and He Jin together?"
Listen to this voice...Oh, it’s the goddess Xiao who was rejected last time.
Jiang Xu didn't say anything and zipped up her schoolbag. Seeing this, Xiao Yu got a little angry and kicked her seat. "I was asking you a question, didn't you hear me?"
Jiang Xu frowned. How rude! And it never ends.
Her eyes grew colder, and she stood up. She was taller than Xiao Yu, looked down at her, and spoke with an indescribable aura: "Does it have anything to do with you? Get out of the way, you're blocking the way."
Xiao Yu inexplicably took a few steps back, and Jiang Xu walked out without even turning her head.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. What was she afraid of? Were these three people afraid of her?
Xiao Yu walked over and grabbed her hand, warning her, "Hey! Stay away from He Jin and stop being so shameless and sticking to him every day."
As if thinking of something, Jiang Xu blinked and gave her a mischievous smile, "Miss, you are so funny. Are you warning me or yourself? There are some things you have forgotten, but I haven't forgotten them. Who has the audacity to not understand them?"
Realizing what Jiang Xu was talking about, Xiao Yu felt a little uncomfortable, but his tone was still arrogant. "Don't say things you shouldn't say. It's best to shut up yourself. If you let others shut you up, the consequences will not be good."
Suddenly, Jiang Xu's eyes turned cold, and he lost the patience to continue dealing with her. "What are you talking about? You said Goddess Xiao is so sociable, and I'm so scared? What era is this? You're still thinking of using school bullying tactics."
"You should be more reasonable." Xiao Yu seemed to have gained confidence and crossed his arms. "Let me tell you this, He Jin is short of money. I have plenty of money. Do you have any? Do you think he will want you or me?"
Jiang Xu curled her lips, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She wasn't a good-tempered person to begin with. "Whether I put it on or not is my business, whether I want to or not is his business. It has nothing to do with you. Such a rich family should live in the Pacific Ocean. Why are you so nosy?"
Xiao Yu had never seen anyone who dared to confront her so much. Her face changed and she wanted to say something else.
Jiang Xu was too lazy to continue talking to her, so he waved his hand and walked away in a casual manner.
Halfway through the walk, Jiang Xu suddenly thought that after saying so much, he had captured a key word: "He Jin is short of money."
Why are you short of money?
Yes, the last time I looked at my personal profile on the school forum, the family background column was blank.
L City No. 3 Middle School is a semi-private school. There are only three types of people who can go here: one is those who come from wealthy families and study art, one is those who are good at studying, and the other is those who are both. If this is the case, He Jin should belong to the middle group.
No wonder, he always ranks first in his grade and wins so many awards and scholarships.
I don’t know why, but Jiang Xu felt a little uncomfortable. So what if he was short of money? Even if He Jin was short of money, what did it have to do with her? He really thought of himself as a charity.
