Yi Chenli rubbed his aching head.
He suddenly didn't want to explain anymore: "An Yuan'er, you could be any dumber."
"Yi Chenli, you can't call me stupid anymore."
I'll try my best.
"What do you mean 'try your best'? It has to be 'definitely'."
The two of them were playfully fighting; after all, they were still just kids.
"Yi Chenli, you should treat these bookmarks well. I spent a long time making them."
"Um."
Books are Yi Chenli's most cherished possessions. Now, he is willing to leave a bookmark on one of his treasured items, which, even without saying much, is enough to show how precious it is.
Yi Chenqi, who had followed An Yuan'er, witnessed all of this.
His hands clenched into fists. He had never seen Xiao Yuan'er smile or joke like that to him before. She always maintained a certain politeness towards him.
Moreover, that peach blossom bookmark was clearly meant for the first place winner.
However, it still ended up in Yi Chenli's hands.
Yi Chenqi couldn't understand how Xiao Yuan'er could be so biased. He even...
Yi Chenqi turned and left angrily. He refused to admit that he was actually sad!
He would never pay any attention to An Yuan'er again.
The girl who wasn't the top student liked him, so he didn't want the top student to like her either.
That would be fairer.

The next day, Yi Chen came to the school.
As An Yuan'er passed by his seat, she saw the peach blossom bookmark. He was indeed using it, and An Yuan'er secretly rejoiced.
Back in her seat, An Yuan'er noticed that the usually talkative Fifth Prince was somehow slumped over his seat, ignoring everyone.
He was very happy to have won first place yesterday, so what's wrong with him today?
An Yuan'er tentatively called out, "Fifth Prince."
Yi Chenqi heard it, but he pretended not to.
An Yuan'er didn't insist, but simply placed a jar of peach blossom candy on his table.
"Congratulations to the Fifth Prince for winning first place, as promised yesterday."
Yi Chenqi couldn't keep up the act for long, and he asked indignantly, "Is Xiao Yuan'er truly congratulating me on being number one?"
An Yuan'er didn't know why he asked that, so she honestly replied, "Of course it's the truth."
Yi Chenqi was reluctant to admit it, but he still said, "I only had a chance to be number one because Yi Chenli wasn't there. So, it can't really be considered number one."
An Yuan'er laughed; so that's what the Fifth Prince was struggling with.
"Fifth Prince, your grades have always been excellent. No matter the reason, you are number one this time!"
The girl looked directly into Yi Chenqi's eyes with genuine affection, her gaze filled with goodwill.
Yi Chenqi suddenly felt that he had been too petty.
Actually, if he really wanted to ignore Xiao Yuan'er, he could only do it for half a day. Any longer and he would suffocate.
Xiao Yuan'er is so cute, it's so hard to ignore her.
Yi Chenqi suddenly announced somewhat arrogantly, "An Yuan'er, listen carefully, one day I will become the person you like the most."
Yi Chenqi is just that kind of person; he wants the whole world to know what he wants.
He was so loud that everyone in the entire school could hear his shouting.
An Yuan'er tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to keep a low profile.
But Yi Chenqi was restless; he shouted even louder, "An Yuan'er, did you hear me?"
An Yuan'er tried her best to wink at him, but Yi Chenqi, that simpleton, didn't react at all.
The Grand Tutor is giving a lesson right now, and this silly boy has completely forgotten.
The Grand Tutor coughed lightly and said sternly, "Fifth Prince, I don't know if An Yuan'er heard me, but I heard you very clearly during class."
