Tuesday.
Xu Yao came to Yang Wanwan's desk and said, "Wanwan, get out of class is over, time for exercise, let's go together."
Listening to the radio broadcast "One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four..."
Yang Wanwan didn't even look up, her eyes still fixed on the exercise book. "You go first."
Xu Yao said, "Wanwan, your grades are already so good, why are you still working so hard?"
Yang Wanwan ignored her completely, closed her book, and walked away.
Yang Wanwan's good grades are not because she is particularly talented.
Instead, she would enter the space at night to study and consolidate her knowledge. Therefore, she naturally wouldn't waste a single second during her daytime class breaks.
They certainly wouldn't waste their time on Xu Yao's meaningless attempts to build friendships.
Xu Yao glanced at Qiao Song out of the corner of her eye, put on a wronged expression, and looked at Kuang Jie: "Kuang Jie, tell me, why is Wanwan so cold? I didn't say anything wrong, did I? Why is she ignoring me?"
Kuang Jie smiled gently, said nothing, picked up a book, and walked away.
Xu Yao and Kuang Jie are deskmates.
Xu Yao then looked at Qiao Song: "Class monitor, am I right?"
Qiao Song's gaze had been following Yang Wanwan's figure, but Xu Yao pulled him back to reality. "Huh? What did you say?"
"Pfft!"
Bao Ya let out a mocking laugh.
Xu Yao looked at Bao Ya with a wronged expression, "Hey classmate, what are you laughing at?"
Xu Yao hadn't figured out Bao Ya's name yet; she only saw that he was tall and burly, sitting in the last row. Although he was quite handsome, he wasn't Xu Yao's type.
Bao Ya rolled his eyes and said, "I just saw a white lotus flower pretending to be innocent."
After saying that, he leisurely dribbled the basketball and went to the playground.
Xu Yao blushed deeply, bit her lower lip, and went to the playground feeling wronged.
Xu Yao was taller than Yang Wanwan, so she had to pass by Yang Wanwan while queuing. She stopped in front of Yang Wanwan and said, "Yang Wanwan, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch together after school, okay?"
Yang Wanwan refused: "No."
Xu Yao's eyes instantly filled with grievance and sadness: "Wanwan, are you still resentful of me for what happened before? If so, I apologize to you. I really didn't know your cousin was that kind of person, I was also deceived. Also, I helped you clear up the matter of you stealing money, can you forgive my past ignorance for the sake of me helping you?"
Qiao Song was in line three positions behind Yang Wanwan in the men's line to her side, so he saw everything Yang Wanwan and Xu Yao did.
Yang Wanwan squatted down and stood up repeatedly, as a warm-up before doing exercises.
They completely ignored Xu Yao.
"Now let's begin the seventh set of broadcast gymnastics..."
The loudspeaker announced that it was time for morning exercises.
Xu Yao reluctantly and slowly walked back, her face full of sadness and sorrow.
The boys behind could see it all clearly.
At lunchtime, everyone rushed to the cafeteria, and Xu Yao indeed came to call Yang Wanwan.
She affectionately took Yang Wanwan's arm: "Wanwan, let's go have lunch together."
Yang Wanwan pried her hands away, "I won't eat with you, I'll wait for Youjin here."
"It's okay, the three of us can eat together."
Yang Wanwan pushed away Xu Yao's outstretched hand, her voice icy: "Xu Yao, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Xu Yao's eyes immediately welled up with tears. "Wanwan, I really want to be your good friend again. You have to believe me. Last time at your shop, you were talking to me so nicely, weren't you?"
"But I don't want to anymore, is that not allowed?"
Xu Yao bit her lower lip, "Why?"
"For no reason other than that I like it."
After speaking, Yang Wanwan picked up her rice bowl and walked to the corridor to wait for Hu Youjin, who would come downstairs in a little while.
If Xu Yao hadn't transferred to her class, Yang Wanwan might have been a little more docile towards her. But now that Xu Yao has transferred and is constantly pestering her, it's no wonder Yang Wanwan isn't giving her a pleasant look.
Xu Yao was still unwilling to give up, "Wanwan..."
Yang Wanwan raised her hand and waved to a girl around the corner, "Youjin!"
Watching Yang Wanwan and Hu Youjin leave chatting and laughing, Xu Yao stomped her foot angrily.
It's unclear what she was thinking, but her expression kept changing until finally, the corners of her lips curled up and she actually smiled.
In the following days, Yang Wanwan was still harassed by Xu Yao, but Yang Wanwan remained unmoved, and the frequency of Xu Yao's harassment decreased.
A week later, Xu Yao seemed to have given up and stopped visiting Yang Wanwan as often.
In the first monthly exam, Yang Wanwan came in second in the class, while Qiao Song dropped to fourth place.
Qiao Song has been going to Moon Bay every weekend for the past few weeks, but he hasn't seen Yang Wanwan even once.
Yang Wanwan wasn't deliberately avoiding him. One weekend she went to Shenzhen to buy goods, and another weekend she went back to her village.
Even if she only went to the shop briefly that weekend in the county town, Aunt Yang would urge her back to the rented room: "Wanwan, go study, your aunt is at the shop."
Seeing that Yang Wanwan was about to explain, her aunt interrupted her: "Wanwan, with such good grades, you must get into a good university in the capital. However, I've heard that good grades in the first year of high school don't guarantee continued success. A solid foundation in the first year will make it even better in the second and third years. Otherwise, your grades might slip in the second year."
Yang Wanwan suddenly had a mischievous thought and asked her aunt, "Auntie, why do you insist that I take the entrance exam for a university in the capital?"
“That’s Pan Yiming… Isn’t that the best university in the capital? I’ll take care of things at the shop, so you can focus on your studies and worry less about the shop.”
Yang Wanwan asked shamelessly, "Auntie, do you approve of puppy love?"
Aunt Yang smiled sheepishly: "I think Pan Yiming is a pretty good kid, and he's from the village, so I know him well..."
"Auntie, has Pan Yiming contacted you?"
"No...nothing like that, you child, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Auntie, you're not telling the truth."
"What kind of truth do you want to hear, kid? Just focus on your studies and don't worry about anything else."
"Aunt, you've betrayed us."
Aunt Yang laughed: "Silly child, just focus on your studies, why rebel? Alright, I've been your age before, do you think I don't know what you kids are thinking? Nothing is more important than your own future, so what Pan Yiming said is not wrong."
"Auntie, you wouldn't admit it just now!"
"Go away, what else do you want your aunt to acknowledge? You little rascal, go upstairs and do your homework."
Yang Wanwan had only taken a few steps when her aunt chased after her, shoving a heavy package into her hands: "These are reference books sent by Pan Yiming. He said they are very good and hard to find in the county town. He called the store, and I couldn't just ignore him. He didn't say anything offensive."
