Chapter 548: Campus (5)
As she spoke, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Within minutes, her breathing became long and even, indicating that she was truly asleep. Hua Hu was so angry that she didn't know where to vent her anger and could only hold it in, almost causing internal injuries. This Wei Ming was getting more and more infuriating. She wondered what she had done to offend him. Just as she was about to say something, Bai Linlin glared at her, her expression conveying the message that if she dared to keep him from sleeping, she would make him die.
Hua Hu: "Just raise him like a son. You'll get angry with anyone who touches him."
Bai Linlin smiled as she looked at Wen Wan, "Of course, Prince Wei is cute, gentle, and so handsome."
Huahu: "..."
There's nothing more to say to a simp.
...
When she woke up, Hua Hu and the others had already left, obviously to go racing. They even left her a note before they left.
Wen Wan crumpled the note and threw it into the trash can. Most of the people in the classroom had left, leaving only a few scattered people. The class monitor walked over.
The class monitor was a chubby little guy who was very popular and thrived in this class full of rich people.
"What's up?"
Class monitor: "The teacher asked me to tell you that there will be a test next month."
Wen Yan: "..."
Class monitor: "Prince Wei is so amazing, this little test will definitely be no challenge for him."
She tried to flatter him, but ended up flattering him in the wrong way. The thought of the exam made Wen Wan feel like she had two heads to squeeze.
"knew."
The class monitor felt a little uneasy, sensing that Prince Wei was not in a good mood, so he quickly left.
Wen Wan subconsciously looked towards where the male lead was, but the female lead was not there; she didn't know where she had gone.
Wen Wan thought for a moment, then took out her phone and sent a message to Gu Qiao.
Wei Ming: I need to talk to you. Can you come out with me?
A few minutes later, Gu Qiao glanced at his phone, then at Wen Wan. Wen Wan packed her things and left the classroom, and Gu Qiao also left the classroom.
Wen Wan walked to a secluded spot.
"Gu Qiao, thank you for last time. The payment is on this card. The password is six zeros."
Gu Qiao refused Wen Wan's card, saying, "No need."
"It's fine if you don't want to accept it. Since I consider you a friend, our friendship can't be measured in money. Let me put it another way: consider this money as tutoring fees. You know the exams are coming up soon, and my grades aren't very good. So, I heard you were the top scorer in the college entrance exam. Could you tutor me? I'll pay you according to the rate for private tutoring per lesson. How about that?"
"Tutoring?"
"right."
"You shouldn't lack proper upbringing."
Wen Wan quickly said, "I don't lack tutors, but I don't want other people to know that I have tutors. That's embarrassing, and I can't bear to lose face like that."
Gu Qiao: "..."
Gu Qiao really didn't understand why she wanted to find him. Wouldn't she feel ashamed to do so?
"One class is two hours long and costs 1000 yuan. One class a day, or two classes on weekends if you have time. Payment is made daily. How about that?"
Gu Qiao agreed.
This was within Wen Wan's expectations, because Gu Qiao's family situation was not very good, and he had to work every day, where he suffered a lot. Now, Wen Wan was giving him a job opportunity, which at least prevented him from encountering danger when she was not around. At the same time, she also had her own selfish reasons. After all, the tutoring was real, and she didn't want her grades to be terrible.
"Then we'll keep in touch by phone every day after school."
Gu Qiao: "Mm."
With Wen Wan gone, it seemed as if a major worry had been resolved, and their steps became much lighter.
Gu Qiao kept watching her back, his expression unreadable to Wen Wan.
...
The next afternoon after school, Wen Wan declined the invitation from Hua Hu and the others, and then directly arranged to meet Gu Qiao at a coffee shop, requesting a private room to avoid being disturbed during class.
Then I started tutoring.
The more he tutored her, the more circles appeared in Wen Wan's eyes. Gu Qiao was also somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected her foundation to be so weak. How had she passed the exams before...?
Wen Wan was also a little embarrassed, but since she had already lost face, she might as well not struggle anymore.
Anyway, even if it's embarrassing, it won't be too bad.
After that, Gu Qiao resumed teaching at a level that suited Wen Wan's current level, and Wen Wan gradually understood it. This was much better than what the teacher said. However, the teacher probably taught based on the level of most students, and he didn't know that Wen Wan had become a completely different person inside and had become a poor student who was dragging the class down.
Wen Wan also ordered some food and drinks. When she saw Gu Qiao looking at her, she quickly said, "It's my habit. I feel like I can't concentrate on studying if I don't eat something."
Gu Qiao: "..."
Two hours passed quickly, and Wen Wan transferred the money.
Afterwards, a driver was arranged to pick them up, and a time was set for the make-up class the following day.
For a while after that, Wen Wan refused everyone's invitations after school every day, giving all sorts of reasons. When there was really no reason, she would just say that she wanted to go home and play games. Although the others found it strange, they didn't say anything.
And so, Wen Wan would go to tutoring classes with Gu Qiao every day after school.
And my progress is also very obvious, at least much faster than when I studied on my own. I have to say, this tutor was definitely worth the money.
Moreover, according to the system, the male protagonist had quit his after-school part-time job, which made Wen Wan very happy. She even occasionally gave him a few extra lessons in order to give him more money and also so that she wouldn't embarrass herself too much in the next exam.
It's mutually beneficial; I'm so clever.
A few days before the exam, Gu Qiao highlighted the key points for himself, and Wen Wan began to memorize them frantically.
She didn't even want to waste time eating or playing with Huahu and the others, but she also knew that her behavior had been strange lately, and if she didn't play with them, she was afraid she would be exposed.
I can only push myself to the limit; I've never been this tired even during the college entrance exam.
Soon it was time for the test. When Wen Wan saw the test paper, she was almost moved to tears because Gu Qiao had predicted most of the questions and had told her about similar ones.
As a result, Wen Wan wrote with great inspiration and felt that her exam results would definitely be good.
The school graded the papers very quickly, and the results arrived the next day.
The teacher came to hand out the test papers, which was a rare moment of quiet for the students. After all, the test scores would be shared with their parents, and doing poorly would be a bad thing.
Without a doubt, the number one spot belongs to the male lead, Gu Qiao.
The near-perfect score shocked the other students.
The second place went to Qi Lian. Qi Lian had always been the undisputed number one, but this time he became second, which even surprised him. He glanced at Gu Qiao unconsciously, but did nothing.
Ouyang Feng ranked third, while the female lead was in the top ten, which was also a good result.
Wen Wan was genuinely happy for the male lead. This was a school full of elites! To get first place was simply amazing.
Soon it came to me, and I was at an average level in the class. How should I put it? Compared to Wei Ming before, I had regressed, but not too drastically. Meanwhile, Hua Hu, who I played with every day, actually made it into the top ten.
This is not scientific.
This is such a Mary Sue-esque plot; she has to admit it's ridiculous.
Hua Hu: "Wei Ming, you've really regressed. Have you been playing too many games?"
Wen Wan: "Hmph."
Huahu: "..."
So cute
The word flashed into his mind in an instant. Hua Hu felt that there was something wrong with him. It must be because he had been listening to Bai Linlin talk every day, saying how cute and adorable Wei Ming was, just like a cat. This made him instinctively have this thought.
Wen Wan held her test paper and felt quite satisfied.
After all, this is a short-term result; at least it's not last place. Otherwise, my fate would be... dangerous.
After finishing the exam, Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief. She was finally free from constantly pushing herself and instead went out for a fun-filled day with Hua Hu and the others.
Tutoring continued as usual, but it wasn't as urgent anymore. Occasionally, I would even try to slack off, and I've become increasingly adept at being lazy.
Gu Qiao didn't force him, after all, they were just employer and tutor.
While answering the questions, Wen Wan glanced at the male lead out of the corner of her eye and asked, "Gu Qiao, doesn't your hair poke your eyes?"
Gu Qiao: "No."
"Why don't you show your whole face? The lower half of your face looks amazing. If you showed your whole face, you would definitely charm countless girls."
Gu Qiao remained silent, but Wen Wan began to mutter, "I'm going to get my hair done anyway, why don't you come along? It's on me."
Gu Qiao: "No need."
Wen Wan's fingers itched; she really wanted to lift the male lead's hair to see how handsome his face was. After all, the male lead was guaranteed to be incredibly handsome, and those Mary Sue princes had already fully demonstrated the level of attractiveness of the main characters in this world. The male lead would only be more handsome than them.
But now is not the time. The male protagonist has not yet truly regarded her as a friend. Right now, his role is more like that of a boss who pays salaries.
After the tutoring session ended, Wen Wan got into the driver's car and left. The driver said, "Young Master, Madam and Master are at home."
Wen Wan sat up straight instantly. "Weren't they on a business trip? How come they're back so soon?"
Driver: "I don't know."
Wen Wan returned home with some apprehension, only to find that not only her parents were home, but there were other people there as well.
Liu Qianyue: "Ah Ming is here, come and call him Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai."
Bai Linlin's parents.
Bai Linlin ran to Wen Wan's side the moment she arrived, calling out, "Brother Wei."
Wen Yan: "..."
What kind of scene was this? Why did she have a bad feeling? Soon, her premonition came true because the two families actually started discussing the marriage between the two.
Wen Yan: "!!!"
"Dad, I'm still young and don't want to get married."
Wei's father: "It's just an engagement. You'll get married after you graduate."
"Dad, I..."
Bai Linlin looked at her too, "Does Brother Wei not like Linlin?"
Wen Wan: Of course I don't like her! At most, we can be best friends. She's a girl! How could she like Bai Linlin?
But of course, she couldn't say that. "Of course not, I just don't want to make a decision so quickly. Wouldn't it be awkward if Linlin met someone she truly liked in the future?"
Bai Linlin: "I only like Brother Wei. Brother Wei is Linlin's favorite cat...person since I was a child."
Wen Yan: "???"
What is it?
Bai's mother laughed, "When my Linlin first met A-Ming when she was little, she insisted that A-Ming be her wife, and she even called A-Ming 'cat.' I never thought that these two children would still be like this when they grow up."
Mother Wei smiled as she looked at her son. He was indeed a bit too delicate and refined, but her child was truly adorable. Mother Wei had a very strong "son filter" for her son. Wen Wan racked her brains, trying to figure out how to resolve this matter and reject the arranged marriage.
