In her past life, Xiao Ruoyan's grades plummeted because Xu Xiu changed her seat. After the seat change, Xu Xiu sat next to the person he liked and began to openly pursue her like a simp, causing his grades to drop as well.
In the end, one of them didn't get into a top-tier university, while the other barely made it in due to poor performance.
"So, Teacher Li, I think Xiao Ruoyan and I are quite compatible according to our birth charts, and we may need to sit together to make progress together."
Some classmates couldn't help but laugh out loud, but when they saw Xu Xiu staring at them, they quickly shut their mouths.
Seeing Li Hansong hesitate, "Teacher Li, I promise that after we switch back, we will get first place in the grade in the next mock exam, and Xiao Ruoyan will get second place."
The students all looked at Liu Qianxue, the class beauty who was always second best, standing next to Xu Xiu.
Liu Qianxue frowned, seemingly lost in thought. Fang Xiaoxiao, sitting behind Liu Qianxue, muttered under her breath, "Tch, as if getting first place in the grade is that easy."
Although she spoke softly, Liu Qianxue, who was sitting in the front row, still heard her, as if she were being mocked.
Li Hansong was also surprised to hear Xu Xiu's words. If it could really be done as he said, that would be the best outcome.
But at that moment, Xiao Ruoyan's deskmate, Wang Mengqi, stood up and said, "Teacher Li, I disagree."
"Why should he be able to change whenever he wants? I just became good friends with Xiao Ruoyan."
Xu Xiu had a headache. How did this unexpected obstacle suddenly appear? The homeroom teacher was about to agree.
Just as he was having a headache, Xu Xiu realized that the person sitting behind Xiao Ruoyan was none other than his childhood friend Ning Bufan.
"You can discuss it yourselves after class. I have no problem with it."
Li Hansong said something and then started the class. During the class, Xu Xiu kept staring at Xiao Ruoyan's back.
It feels like yesterday that I recalled my past life.
......
......
"Dad...Mom...are you...alright?"
Because his family went bankrupt, leaving Xu Xiu with nothing, he believed that this was the reason Liu Qianxue left him, so he harbored resentment and chose to leave his parents when they were going through the most difficult time.
"Xu Xiu, we've already severed ties, what are you doing here? Take everything, we don't want your filthy money..."
"Xiao Fan, where are you now? I'm coming to find you!"
"Xu Xiu, I'm just an ordinary person. Given your status... if you still consider me a brother, please don't contact me again."
"Beep...beep...!"
"Auntie, this money..."
“Mr. Xu, I am very grateful that you came to see Ruoyan. Please take the things and money with you. Although it was my daughter’s wishful thinking, we hope that you will not disturb our lives again in the future.”
In the bamboo forest behind the mountain, there is an inconspicuous little hill covered with fresh soil, and in front of the hill stands a simple little stone tablet.
[The Tomb of Beloved Daughter Xiao Ruoyan]
Xu Xiu walked to the tomb and gently stroked the tombstone with one hand. At that moment, a heavy snow began to fall from the gray sky, and in the blink of an eye, a thin layer of snow accumulated on the tombstone.
"Ruoyan never imagined that we would grow old together in this way."
"Buzzing"
The phone vibrated, and Xu Xiu took it out. "Hello."
"We've found Mr. Xu..."
Amidst the pristine white snow, a coat had somehow appeared on the tombstone.
A dark figure disappeared into the snow, leaving only a trail of footprints of varying depths, which were quickly erased by the heavy snow.
......
......
Liu Qianxue kept watching Xu Xiu from the side. Half a class passed, and Xu Xiu didn't say a word to her.
She didn't even glance at herself, and couldn't help but push him away with her hand.
What are you doing?
Xu Xiu snapped out of his reverie, looking at Liu Qianxue with a disgusted expression, then glanced at her before continuing to stare at Xiao Ruoyan.
Liu Qianxue was stunned. He had just confessed to her in the last class, so why did he turn his back on her after being rejected?
Fang Xiaoxiao tapped Liu Qianxue's back with her finger, and Liu Qianxue leaned back a little. "Qianxue, this Xu Xiu is probably trying to play hard to get."
"I've seen plenty of guys like this online; they're deliberately ignoring you to get your attention."
Liu Qianxue thought about it and realized it made sense; she hadn't been able to resist giving him a nudge earlier.
Fang Xiaoxiao continued, "Qianxue, just wait, in less than three days he'll be wagging his tail like a lapdog."
......
The bell rang, and Xu Xiu strode over to Ning Bufan. "Xiao Fan, why don't you switch seats with Wang Mengqi?"
"Feel free to make any requests."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. We've been brothers since childhood, why would I lie to you?"
Xu Xiu wore a sincere expression, smiling broadly, completely different from his previous demeanor.
"Want me some late-night snack after class tonight?"
That's it?
"Yes, that's it."
"Xiao Fan, you truly are my brother. To thank you, I'll give you my seat and introduce you to the prettiest girl in our class."
"Old Xu, come on, I wouldn't dare to hope for that. I know my own limitations."
"I actually have a pretty good impression of Xiao Ruoyan, the one in front of me."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiu's expression immediately changed. "Xiao Fan, I'm giving you another chance to rephrase your words."
Ning Bufan looked at Xu Xiu with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Ruoyan and Wang Mengqi happened to go to the restroom together, so Xu Xiu sat directly in Xiao Ruoyan's seat.
"Xiao Fan, you can like any girl in the whole school, but not Xiao Ruoyan."
"If you dare to have any thoughts about her, I wouldn't mind burying you tonight."
"No, didn't Lao Xu just say they were brothers?"
"How can you change your tune so easily?"
Xu Xiu glanced around and whispered, "You all want to touch my woman, what use are you as a brother to me?"
Ning Bufan: "......"
At this moment, Xiao Ruoyan and Wang Mengqi had just entered through the door. Xiao Ruoyan looked at Xu Xiu sitting in her seat and was at a loss for what to do.
Xu Xiu turned to look at the two of them, stood up and walked over. "Wang Mengqi, why don't you switch seats with Xiao Fan? That way you can continue to be good friends with Xiao Ruoyan."
Seeing that Wang Mengqi was still hesitant, Xu Xiu continued to brainwash her, saying, "I'll cover all the milk tea for this month!"
"real?"
"A man's word is his bond."
Xu Xiu said with a serious expression.
"Old Xu, do I have any?" Ning Bufan asked from behind.
"Get out of here, what kind of grown man drinks milk tea!" Xu Xiu turned around and complained.
After persuading the two, Xu Xiu quickly moved the table, too lazy to tidy up the desk, he simply swapped the entire table.
Xiao Ruoyan stood silently to the side, still trying to figure out what was going on, completely unaware of what was happening.
Liu Qianxue watched as Xu Xiu changed seats without hesitation, without even glancing at her throughout the entire process.
Xu Xiu had just sat down after changing seats when class started. He didn't do anything during the class; he just listened to the lecture normally.
He was afraid that if he was too enthusiastic or acted too abnormally, he might scare Xiao Ruoyan.
Xiao Ruoyan was a rather insecure girl, which was related to her childhood circumstances.
Having been bullied since childhood, I am timid and lack confidence in everything I do.
Xu Xiu thought that the Long March had only just begun, the revolution had not yet succeeded, and comrades still needed to work hard.
Xiao Ruoyan didn't hear a word of the entire class; she was completely dazed, nervous, and didn't dare to look at Xu Xiu.
They were conflicted for the entire class period. After class, Xu Xiu glanced at the pencil case and thought, "Xiao Ruoyan's pencil case is still so new?"
"Um...yes, it's very important to me."
"I'm sorry... I stuttered again."
"It's okay, I just love you when you stutter!"
"ah......"
"What? How come I got this question wrong again?"
Xu Xiu pointed to the test questions that Xiao Ruoyan was working on.
