However, when he saw that it was Wang Xiaolan who had bumped into him, the displeasure he had felt at the falling of his homework book quickly melted away, like ice and snow meeting the warm sun. Instead, a smile appeared, one tinged with surprise and confusion, as if Wang Xiaolan's presence was a complete surprise.
Wang Xiaolan looked at the homework books scattered on the ground and quickly bent down to pick them up.
She kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Wei Guoqiang quickly bent his tall body, stretched out his slender and powerful hands, and began to carefully pick up the exercise books scattered on the ground.
At the same time, he raised his head, looked at Wang Xiaolan with gentle concern, and asked softly, "Classmate Wang, what's wrong with you? Are you facing any troubles?"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaolan, who was originally immersed in her own thoughts, suddenly came back to her senses. She quickly suppressed the unhappy expression on her face and hurriedly picked up the scattered homework books with her hands. She responded in a panic, "No, nothing. Captain Wei, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
Wei Guoqiang straightened up, neatly stacked the homework books he had found, and said to Wang Xiaolan with a smile, "It's okay, we're all classmates. But looking at you, I'm still a little worried. Classmate Wang, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell or sick?"
Wang Xiaolan was slightly startled, and subconsciously touched her cheek, then replied with a nonchalant tone, "Really? I don't feel anything myself."
Seeing that the homework books were put away, the two of them stood up at the same time and looked at each other.
Wang Xiaolan said apologetically, "I'm sorry for delaying you from handing in your homework."
Wei Guoqiang said, "It's okay. It will be the same if I hand it in after this class."
The two people walked to the front of the podium, and Wei Guoqiang carefully placed the stack of exercise books in his hand gently on a corner of the podium.
At this time, Wang Xiaolan, who was standing aside, said softly: "Class monitor, if there is nothing else, I will go back to my seat first."
After saying that, she turned around and walked straight towards her seat.
However, at this moment, Wei Guoqiang, who had just put the homework books in order, hurriedly shouted, "Wait, classmate Wang!" His voice was a little anxious.
After hearing the shout, Wang Xiaolan, who had already walked a few steps away, immediately stopped and quickly turned her head. She looked at Wei Guoqiang with a puzzled look and asked, "Squad Leader, what's the matter? Is there anything else?"
At that moment, Wei Guoqiang's gaze met Wang Xiaolan's. In that instant, it was as if an invisible electric current struck his heart, and he couldn't help but feel an indescribable, inexplicable strange feeling.
He felt as if his heart was suddenly being tightly grasped by a large hand, its beating becoming rapid and chaotic. At the same time, a blush quickly surged onto his cheeks like a tide, dyeing his previously calm face crimson.
Fortunately, Wei Guoqiang's complexion had always been a healthy tan. Not only him, but his brother also had the same complexion. This natural protective color perfectly concealed the unusual changes in his face, making it difficult for others to detect the complex feelings of love surging deep within him at this moment.
He pretended to be calm, but inwardly he blamed himself: "Oh my! What's wrong with me? How could I have such an inappropriate thought? This is so wrong!"
Wei Guoqiang tried hard to control his emotions and said, "Wang Xiaolan, you know what? My grandfather was very happy when he heard you were attending cram school here! He kept talking about coming over to visit you, but I didn't think it was convenient, so I didn't agree."
He paused and said, "However, I have a small request that I hope you can agree to. Can you please come to our house for dinner tonight? My grandfather would be very happy if you are willing to do me the honor of coming."
Wang Xiaolan said with an embarrassed look on her face, "It's...it's not that I don't want to visit him, it's just that there are only about two months left until the college entrance examination, and I have to hurry up and review! Let's put it this way, I'll go visit him after the exam is over."
While she was talking to Wei Guoqiang, Zhu Dayong was caught by Li Mei talking to Wang Xiaolan about Dabao. He got into an argument with her, and his already gloomy face became even uglier. He walked in from outside the classroom with heavy steps.
When Zhu Dayong heard Wei Guoqiang invite Wang Xiaolan to dinner, the flames of jealousy in his heart instantly flared up like a volcanic eruption, unstoppable. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but the stinging sensation did nothing to calm the surging anger and jealousy in his heart.
He really wanted to rush forward and give Wei Guoqiang a good punch, letting him know that he was not to be trifled with. However, reason, like a cold iron chain, firmly restrained his impulsive steps.
After all, this was his first day at this place for remedial classes, and since he had missed so many classes, he needed to rely on Wei Guoqiang, the class monitor, to help him fill in these knowledge gaps. So, despite being filled with anger, he could only endure this humiliation and unwillingness.
At this moment, Wei Guoqiang saw Zhu Dayong walking in from outside the classroom and greeted him politely. Wang Xiaolan, with her back to the classroom, didn't let Zhu Dayong's entrance affect her conversation with Wei Guoqiang.
Zhu Dayong, with a gloomy face, nodded politely to Wei Guoqiang and walked towards the last empty seat in the classroom.
Wang Xiaolan had just finished speaking when she inadvertently saw Zhu Dayong walking slowly past her. Zhu Dayong had a gloomy face and stared at her with a pair of eyes that clearly revealed a hint of displeasure.
However, Wang Xiaolan seemed to be completely unaware and continued to act as if nothing had happened.
Then, she calmly reached into her schoolbag and fumbled around. After a moment, she pulled out a small, exquisite medicine bottle.
Then, she gracefully handed the medicine bottle to him and whispered softly, "Squad Leader, this medicine is a good medicine I specially prepared for the old man to strengthen his body. The herbs in it are all carefully selected by me, and it has been finally made after a long time of boiling and blending. I believe that after taking it, the old man will become stronger and stronger!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Dayong's two thick, ink-black eyebrows instantly rose upwards, his eyes widened, and he thought to himself: "This is really strange! How come she suddenly knows how to make medicine? I've never heard her mention this before. Could she not be the Wang Xiaolan he knew before? But she..."
