The girls on the ground shuffled backward, looking at Song Qi as if he were some kind of monster.
Song Qi had seen that kind of look many times, but he still couldn't get used to it.
"Don't look at me like that," Song Qi said, emphasizing each word.
Several girls shuddered.
"No, no, I didn't come here to block you. Someone came to ask us for help," a girl shouted.
"Oh." Song Qi looked at her. "So?"
Don't you want to know who they are?
"Not interested." Song Qi turned and left the alley.
The group of people looked at each other blankly, then got up from the ground and went into the bookstore across the street.
It startled the people sitting inside.
Gu Si watched them stop at her table and shrank back.
"What are you doing here?" a girl asked in a low voice, glancing at the people around her with some displeasure.
"Ha, you think we're embarrassing yourselves?" The girl in the lead glared at her and slammed her hand on the table. "Why didn't you say she was such a good fighter before?"
"I don't know."
Gu Si bit her lip and trembled: "Stop arguing, it's all my fault."
"Sisi, what does this have to do with you?"
"It was all to help me get revenge." Gu Si stood up, glanced at the bruises on the girl's face, and said, "I'm sorry, I'll go back now."
She wiped away her tears as she walked, and put her hand down when she was almost alone.
Gu Si took a deep breath; she was panicking.
I have a feeling that I'm about to mess things up with Song Qi.
"Didn't we say we were going out to play?"
Gu Si shuddered instinctively when she heard Song Qi's slightly cold voice, and when she looked at him, she forgot to hide the astonishment and fear on her face.
"I don't want to go out again."
Song Qi looked at Gu Si, without pointing out her question, and took a sip of milk tea: "Going back?"
"Go back." Gu Si nodded and glanced at Song Qi.
His school uniform was still clean and tidy, showing no signs of having been touched.
They walked along the same road, neither of them speaking.
It's very quiet.
Song Qi turned his head and glanced at Gu Si.
"Host, it's about time to log Gu Si off the show. The ending we've arranged for her is to transfer schools in the second semester of her junior year."
"Okay." Song Qi felt the temperature of the milk tea. "I understand."
Gu Si noticed that Song Qi was looking at her, but she didn't dare to turn her head to meet her gaze, and walked forward stiffly.
"Are you afraid of me?" Song Qi asked.
Gu Si was startled: "Huh?"
"If you're not afraid of me, why are you shaking?"
"Cold..." Gu Si didn't know what had gotten into her, but she put her hand directly on Song Qi's face.
It's ice-cold.
Song Qi sighed, took Gu Si's hand off, placed it on the milk tea, wrapped it around her hand, and looked up at her: "How are you now?"
"Much better." Gu Si opened her mouth.
"Hmm, shall I warm your other hand too?"
"No need." Gu Si's voice trailed off.
System: The more I look at it, the more something seems off.
The two walked very slowly, and Gu Si felt as if her left hand, which was being held by Song Qi, was about to burn.
I felt completely dazed, my mind was a complete mess.
I was still not calm when I got to the entrance of my own residential area.
"You've arrived." Song Qi released his hand and pinched Gu Si's cheek.
"Huh?" Gu Si looked up at Song Qi, glanced at the gate, "Oh, we're here. I'll go in then. See you tomorrow, Yang Nuan."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Song Qi watched Gu Si dart into the residential area quickly, and soon her figure disappeared from sight.
She chuckled softly.
I'm really curious what Gu Si plans to do next.
The second monthly exam was approaching, and since that day, Gu Si had not come to see him at night anymore, and they had become much more distant from each other.
Qin Xiao was very pleased with this change.
It's so refreshing to no longer hear that sticky, unpleasant sound.
"Did you and that woman have a falling out?" Qin Xiao asked Song Qi, who was grading his test papers.
"No." Song Qi drew an X on the paper with a sharp stroke, using a bit of force.
"Why haven't I seen her come to see you lately?" Qin Xiao asked with a smile.
Song Qi didn't look at him: "If you miss her, I can call her over for you."
"No need," Qin Xiao immediately shook his head.
"Why do you always care about such trivial things? Didn't you say you wanted to surpass me?" Song Qi pushed the test paper over. "You got so many wrong, who do you think you can surpass?"
Qin Xiao glanced at the list; there were fifteen English multiple-choice questions, and he had gotten three wrong.
She was considered top-tier in the class, but Song Qi got all the answers right. In Song Qi's eyes, anyone inferior to her was trash.
Song Qi glanced at Qin Xiao: "Why are you looking at me like that? Hurry up and correct it."
After teaching him for a while, Song Qi realized that he was not stupid, but rather very smart, with an exceptional ability to apply what he learned to other situations.
As expected of the male lead.
Although he's silly, he's not unintelligent.
The monthly exams are coming up again soon.
The results came out quickly as usual, with Song Qi taking first place this time, surpassing Zhong Yi by seventeen points.
Song Qi didn't feel guilty. She hadn't touched many of the things here, relying on the original storage provided by the female lead and her own hard work in learning.
"You're very capable." Zhong Yi looked at Song Qi.
"Thanks."
"However, I will try my best."
Looking at her pale face and obvious dark circles, Song Qi leaned closer and asked, "How many hours do you sleep each day?"
"Sleep at 2 AM, wake up at 5 AM, and take a half-hour break at noon."
Song Qi: ...
"Take care of yourself." Song Qi patted Zhong Yi on the shoulder. She always respected those who worked hard.
Gu Si stood at a distance watching Song Qi, watching her suddenly lean closer to Zhong Yi, say something, and then affectionately pat Zhong Yi's shoulder.
She took a deep breath, walked over, and called out in a clear voice, "Yang Nuan."
Song Qi nodded, but Gu Si felt that her attitude was somewhat cold, so she bit her lower lip.
Zhong Yi glanced at Gu Si and continued talking to Song Qi, saying what she hadn't finished earlier: "If possible, we can study together."
"Yes, that's fine, but I'm not used to staying up so late."
"It's okay, we can discuss some math problems together, and physics or something. As for the rest, that's up to you." Zhong Yi yawned. "I'm leaving now."
"Okay, goodbye." Song Qi nodded, looking at Gu Si beside her. "What's wrong?"
"You did very well on the exam," Gu Si said with a smile. "Are you and Zhong Yi close?"
"Well enough."
The two of them walked upstairs together.
Gu Si clutched her school uniform tightly, not even knowing what she was unhappy about.
Several boys rushed up the stairs laughing and joking. Gu Si stumbled a few steps and almost fell down.
She steadied herself and looked up at Song Qi.
"Be careful." Song Qi had his hands in his pockets and made no attempt to help her.
Gu Si blinked and looked at Song Qi, her eyes instantly reddening, but she quickly suppressed it and said, "Mm."
Song Qi continued upstairs, with Gu Si following behind. She wanted to catch up and walk alongside Song Qi, but found that she couldn't keep up with her no matter what she did.
Only when they reached the classroom door did Song Qi turn back to look at her and say, "Goodbye."
"goodbye."
Song Qi returned to his seat, while Gu Si stood at the door for a while before leaving.
System: This is so weird, but I can't quite put my finger on what's weird about it.
It checked Gu Si's various data, but couldn't find anything wrong.
When Qin Xiao saw Song Qi enter, he coughed twice in a pretentious manner and placed the report card on the table, his implication quite clear.
"Hmm, not last place. Keep up the good work." Song Qi glanced casually at the report card.
"Perfunctory."
"Weren't you going to surpass me? You're still over a hundred points behind. Keep it up." Song Qi sat down, then glanced at Qin Xiao, clapped his hands expressionlessly, and said, "You're awesome."
Qin Xiao: ...
Do you think I'm a child?
Song Qi looked at Qin Xiao with some surprise: "You're only finding out now? Listen to me, study hard, and make progress every day. If you do well on the test, I'll give you a little red flower."
Sometimes she really felt like she was raising a son when she was with Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao's face darkened. He put away the report card and stuffed it into the drawer. He had originally bought snacks for Song Qi to express his gratitude, but now he had no intention of taking them out.
"Qin Xiao, your homeroom teacher wants to see you."
Qin Xiao was stunned. He had been in the class for so long, and the homeroom teacher had never called on him.
Song Qi glanced at Qin Xiao and probably guessed what was going on: "If you need anything, have the teacher call me."
"Why did I call you?" Qin Xiao kicked the chair away and walked out.
Song Qi glanced at the messenger: "Did the teacher say anything?"
"It seems to be because of abnormal grades..." the person said softly.
Song Qi rubbed her temples, and she knew it.
She picked up the notebook beside her, opened it, and found it filled with densely written notes about what Qin Xiao did every day to study. She also took out a stack of test papers and several notebooks from Qin Xiao's drawer.
“I really am kind-hearted,” Song Qi said.
system:……
Less than two minutes later, someone ran in: "Qin Xiao is arguing with the teacher."
Song Qi silently packed her things and went to her office.
As they reached the door, they heard Qin Xiao roar, "I'm not even afraid of handing in a blank paper, why would I want to cheat?"
Song Qi's lips twitched slightly. This kid was quite proud of handing in a blank paper.
She realized something was wrong with the teacher's logic and behavior; he didn't care about teaching, yet he also cared about cheating.
Song Qi knocked on the door and went in: "Teacher, Qin Xiao did not cheat. This is what he has been doing recently."
She didn't look at Qin Xiao, but simply placed the things on the table: "This is a summary I wrote when I was teaching Qin Xiao."
Song Qi pushed the notebook over.
Qin Xiao glanced at Song Qi, his face grim: "Who sent you?"
“I don’t like people questioning my abilities.” Song Qi glanced at Qin Xiao. “I’ve taught you for so long, you should get this score.”
The homeroom teacher flipped through the test papers and then glanced at Song Qi's notebook: "I admit that he is indeed working very hard now, but that does not prove that he cheated."
"Can you prove he cheated?" Song Qi smiled. "If you can't prove he cheated, there's no need for him to prove he didn't."
"Someone reported it, saying they saw it."
"But we need to provide evidence. We can't just believe everything they say, right?"
Qin Xiao rolled his eyes: "Don't bother talking to him. Anyway, I didn't cheat, and that's it."
"Did I give you permission to speak?" Song Qi glanced sharply at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao stared wide-eyed, blinked, and seemed about to say something, but ultimately dared not speak.
The system had long heard that Song Qi was very protective of his own, but it never expected to have the opportunity to meet him today.
