Xiao Ruoyan hadn't even figured out what was going on with the previous question when Xu Xiu asked her again why she had gotten the question wrong.
My brain just couldn't process it all; it completely shut down, and I just stood there dumbfounded.
Looking at Xiao Ruoyan's current state, Xu Xiu truly wondered what had happened in her past life to turn a girl like Xiao Ruoyan into that person.
The only thing that makes me feel fortunate is that I'm back, back by her side. Now that I've been reborn, let's make our destiny our own, not in the hands of fate.
After regaining his senses, he pointed to the question with feigned seriousness: "I'll only say it once, so listen carefully."
Xiao Ruoyan nodded subconsciously, not daring to look up at Xu Xiu. Just looking at the hands holding the pen, her heart started pounding wildly.
Xu Xiu realized halfway through his explanation that he didn't know the answer either, which was quite embarrassing, as he had almost completely forgotten his high school knowledge after being reborn.
He glanced at Xiao Ruoyan and said in a pretentious tone, "You can digest and absorb what I've just said on your own. We'll talk about the rest in the next class."
Xu Xiu knew that if he acted too enthusiastically now, Xiao Ruoyan might avoid him.
Maintaining the habits and rhythm of the relationship from the previous life and proceeding slowly is the best strategy.
After saying that, he stood up and went to Liu Qianxue. "Liu Qianxue, can I borrow your class notes?"
"Class notes?"
"Yes, I remember you always take notes. Let me borrow them to take a look. I can pay you if you want."
Everything is worth it for someone. Besides, being a simp is something you do willingly, so you can't blame anyone else.
Having lived two lives, I've come to terms with everything. Some things aren't a big deal if you don't care about them.
"No need for money, just take it and look at it."
Liu Qianxue handed her class notes to Xu Xiu, who then returned to his seat and began to carefully review them.
At this moment, Fang Xiaoxiao leaned close to Liu Qianxue's ear from behind and said, "Qianxue, look, Xu Xiu is trying to get close to you again in different ways."
"I said three days, but I came to find you after only one class period."
"Just like before, silly."
Hearing Fang Xiaoxiao's words, Ning Bufan stood up in anger, pointed at Fang Xiaoxiao's nose, and cursed, "Fang Xiaoxiao, try saying another bad word about my brother!"
"Ning Bufan, what's it to you? If you're so tough, why don't you hit me? I just like talking about Xu Xiu, what a coward."
"you......"
Ning Bufan heard this before he could even speak.
"Smack."
A loud slap landed on Fang Xiaoxiao's face; the blow was so heavy that five finger marks were clearly visible on her face.
Xu Xiu appeared beside Ning Bufan without anyone noticing. "This is the first time I've encountered someone making such a request."
"That was pretty fun. Fang Xiaoxiao, feel free to ask me for help next time you need to."
Fang Xiaoxiao covered her face, tears streaming down her face, and ran straight out the door towards the teacher's office.
Liu Qianxue said with a hint of anger, "Xu Xiu, let's talk this out. How could you hit someone?"
"It's not my fault, she asked for it herself!"
Xu Xiu waved his hand with a wronged expression, and a moment later Li Hansong followed Fang Xiaoxiao into the classroom.
I saw that the two of them were already standing at the very back of the classroom, under the blackboard.
"How could Xu Xiu, at such a young age, resort to violence?"
"Teacher Li, it's really not my fault. Fang Xiaoxiao asked for it herself."
"If you don't believe me, ask the students around you; they all heard it."
Li Hansong turned his head to look in Liu Qianxue's direction and saw that several classmates next to him nodded.
"Xu Xiu, hitting someone is wrong no matter what. You'll have to stand and listen to the rest of the class."
"Ning Bufan, go back to your seat and start class."
"Teacher Li, I also want to change seats. I don't want to sit there."
Li Hansong glanced at Fang Xiaoxiao and said, "Alright, you can switch places with Liu Xu."
"Thank you, Teacher Li."
Xu Xiu secretly gave Ning Bufan a thumbs up; this brother was reliable.
Xiao Ruoyan turned around countless times during that class, wondering, "Am I really that pretty, Ruoyan?"
Seeing Xiao Ruoyan turning back every now and then, Wang Mengqi couldn't help but ask.
"Ah...yes...yes."
After being asked that question by Wang Mengqi, he didn't dare to turn his head again, and the class ended in this anxious state once again.
This is clearly the reason why Xiao Ruoyan's grades dropped.
After class, Xu Xiu walked up to Ning Bufan and said, "Xiao Fan, you're a true brother. You even gave up the class beauty for me."
Ning Bufan: "???"
"Old Xu, I felt countless eyes staring at me after sitting next to the school beauty for just one class period."
"A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Therefore, I am taking this opportunity to propose a change of seats."
"Leaving this place of trouble? I knew you had no good intentions, Lao Xu. You really think you can give me such a good thing?"
Ning Bufan spoke in a tone that suggested he was in the right and wouldn't let it go.
Xu Xiu patted Ning Bufan on the shoulder, "Xiao Fan, not bad, you've improved! Do you know what I'm going to do next?"
What do you need to do?
Ning Bufan looked at Xu Xiu with a puzzled expression.
Xu Xiu picked up the broom from under the blackboard and started sweeping it towards Ning Bufan.
He was still cursing under his breath, "Xiao Fan, you heartless bastard, you still disgust me. I'll beat you so badly that even your own mother wouldn't recognize you, or I'm not surnamed Xu."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ning Bufan ran straight to the playground, leaving his classmates dumbfounded.
Xiao Ruoyan looked out the window towards the playground, "I hope I'm not... going to be punished by standing again."
Since it was lunchtime, the two sat down on the flowerbed at the edge of the playground.
Xu Xiu was holding a broom; anyone who didn't know better would think the two of them were sweeping the playground.
"Old Xu, I feel like something's off about you today?"
"Did you confess your feelings to Liu Qianxue this morning and get rejected? Are you heartbroken?"
Ning Bufan looked at Xu Xiu with a worried expression.
"He was heartbroken, but not because of Liu Qianxue." After saying that, Xu Xiu looked at a thin figure at the door of Class 2 on the second floor.
The figure seemed to sense something and turned to run back to the classroom.
"Old Xu, who did you confess to this time? Don't give up on yourself. With your figure and looks, even I, as a woman, would be drooling over you."
Xu Xiugang was still gathering his emotions, preparing to show off by reciting some classical Chinese poems or something.
Upon hearing Ning Bufan's words, he almost lost his balance and fell down the steps.
"Xiao Fan, I also think you're acting really strange today, like you're constantly looking for a beating?"
Ning Bufan chuckled dryly and changed the subject, asking, "What's Old Xu treating me to dinner tonight?"
"What are you eating? I need to go home early to greet my parents."
"Old Xu, didn't you just tell Wang Mengqi that a man's word is his bond?"
Why are you changing your mind when it comes to me?
Xu Xiu said, "This only applies to girls!" and stood up to walk towards the cafeteria.
Ning Bufan shook his head helplessly and followed.
In a corner of the cafeteria, a thin figure was eating a steamed bun and drinking plain water.
I couldn't take my eyes off the food left on the plates at the dining table not far away.
Looking at the meat and vegetables, I imagined myself eating these delicious foods.
Two figures appeared in front of me without my noticing; I couldn't tell if they were too engrossed in watching or if I hadn't noticed them.
Xu Xiu and Ning Bufan sat down in front of him.
