To better nurture outstanding students, the ninth-grade students were placed separately in the back teaching building.
Half of the building is occupied by students, and the other half by teachers' offices. The cafeteria is right behind the teaching building, so it's quite close to where you can eat.
The distance between the front and back teaching buildings is quite large, and the ninth graders are closely watched, so they don't usually run to the front unless there's a specific reason.
Lu Linqi was seething with anger. As soon as he arrived in the classroom, he saw Xi Qingxu collecting homework.
This person is the physics class representative. Although junior high school physics is simpler than high school physics, not everyone can learn all of it.
Xi Qingxu is good at everything, and his physics teacher adores him.
Seeing his face reminded him of his increasingly rebellious sister, and his resentment grew stronger.
The students around him could sense his displeasure, and those who knew better kept quiet. But Xi Qingxu seemed oblivious, carrying a stack of notebooks to his desk, and simply said two words, "Homework."
Lu Linqi gave him an unfriendly look, then took out his physics homework from his bag and put it on the table.
Seeing that the person was about to walk away, he stretched out his hand to stop him.
Xi Qingxu looked at him, "Is something the matter?"
"Can't I stop you if there's nothing wrong?" Lu Linqi stood up. "Do you know you're quite famous?"
Xi Qingxu didn't know what he was trying to say, but returned the favor by saying, "You're not bad either."
Indeed, Lu Linqi is second in the grade. Although he was fortunate enough to be first in the past, Xi Qingxu has won more often.
Good grades are enough to make someone famous, not to mention that Lu Linqi is also good-looking.
Of course, quite a few girls at school liked him.
These two famous ones are quite different; one is as aloof as a block of wood, and the other is so arrogant that no one can catch his eye.
They weren't in the same class before, and the rumors were spread privately between them.
But when the new semester started, they were reassigned to the third year of junior high school.
It means that junior high schools will not separate students into high-achieving and low-achieving classes, but that is not limited to the third year of junior high school.
It's a watershed moment, after all, and we definitely can't let the good and bad students mix together like in the first and second years of junior high.
Therefore, Xi Qingxu and Lu Linqi, along with the top fifty students in the grade, were all assigned to the Elite Class 1.
On the first day of school, the top student and the second-ranked student in the grade ignored each other.
On the second day of school, the second-ranked student in the grade blocked the first-ranked student's path, and they started praising each other?!
Anyway, it's enough for the rest of them to gossip about in private.
Lu Linqi was angry, but he wasn't a brainless idiot. He knew that Xi Qingxu had nothing on her mind except studying and working part-time, so his anger subsided.
He said stiffly, "If you know you're famous, keep a low profile. Don't make yourself known to everyone, or you'll attract the attention of other innocent and naive girls."
Xi Qingxu, “…” Although I am usually calm, I was truly speechless this time.
Knowing that this person was a man of few words, Lu Linqi didn't wait for his response after he finished speaking. He turned around, sat down, and took out his textbook for the first class to start preparing.
Xi Qingxu continued collecting the homework, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with the two of them.
Only the bystanders were filled with countless speculations in their minds.
Being in the top-performing class, they all imagined it for a while and quickly forgot about it, focusing on their studies.
Lu Chuqing, who was in Class 3 of the first year of junior high school, suddenly sneezed. She looked at the clear sky outside and wondered, "It's not raining."
Qu Fusang still had two braids. After getting to her seat, she gave Lu Chuqing a chocolate bar, saying, "Hey, deskmate, have some chocolate."
Lu Chuqing took the chocolate with the foreign name on it, then rummaged through her bag and pulled out a box of cookies.
"My mom made this as a thank you gift of chocolates, and it's delicious."
Actually, the cookies were made by Xi Jun and Lu Ying together. They were matcha flavored and really good.
Qu Fusang took the box, her face full of surprise. "Wow, thank you! I love cookies!"
The little girl's voice was so soft and sweet that Lu Chuqing said in a good mood, "If you like it, I'll bring it to you next time my family makes it."
"Thank you so much!" Qu Fusang took Lu Chuqing's arm, rested her head on her shoulder, and blinked as she asked, "Can I call you Chuqing?"
Lu Chuqing took out her textbook and said, "Okay."
"Wow, Chuqing, you're so nice, I like you so much!"
The girl's voice was so soft and sweet, and her cheerful and enthusiastic personality made her laugh. "We've only known each other for a short time, and you already like me."
Qu Fusang stared at her with starry eyes, "I like her! Chu Qing is pretty and kind, she's bound to be popular!"
Knowing that she was praising her on purpose, Lu Chuqing still couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in her heart.
Yes, she has lived a carefree life, pampered by all her relatives. Not only is she well-nourished, but she also has a much more sunny and cheerful personality.
It's not just her; anyone who is good-looking and has a good personality is easily liked.
Thinking back to her past life, she had almost no friends, was unknown in class, had no presence, and no one liked her.
The preparatory bell rang. Lu Chuqing composed herself, flipped through her textbook, and said to the little girl next to her, "Class is about to start, can you let go of me now?"
"Okay, I'll cuddle with Chuqing after class." Qu Fusang let go of the girl's arm, packed her things into her desk drawer, and took out her textbook to prepare for class.
The subjects in the first year of junior high school weren't too difficult for Lu Chuqing. With some memories from her previous life, she found them quite easy to learn.
The initial courses weren't too difficult. We attended classes during the day and alternated between drawing and live streaming at night.
During this period, Lu Linqi stayed close to her, rushing over to be with her early after school.
Sometimes she would plan to go with Qu Fusang and Nangong Yu to buy a cup of milk tea or some school supplies, and her second brother would always come along.
Especially since that person had a cold face and looked down on all of them because of his height advantage.
Qu Fusang was so frightened the first time that she grabbed her arm and dared not let go. When Lu Linqi was not paying attention, she whispered to her, "Chu Qing, your brother is so fierce."
Nangong Yu, on the other hand, insisted on recognizing him as his elder brother because of his arrogant and overbearing demeanor. He immediately put his arm around the boy's shoulder as if they had known each other for hundreds of years.
Lu Linqi initially gave him a cold look and told him to get lost, but he really underestimated how shameless Nangong Yu was, and after a few days he simply gave up struggling.
Lu Chuqing was surprised by this, but it was also within her expectations.
After all, no one can match Nangong Yu's shamelessness.
Besides that, every day after school, Xi Qingxu would go home and be cared for by Lu Ying and Xi Jun, the two adults.
Lu Chuqing truly understands what it means to be a man of few words. He only says "um" or "okay" to everything he says, rarely saying much, but he will answer any question you ask him.
She never came home from school with Xi Qingxu. Sometimes he would come home very late, usually because he was working part-time.
She returned home around 10 p.m. one night while she was live-streaming. She heard someone knocking on the door, put something down, and went over. When she opened the door, she saw a young man carrying a bag.
"What?" she asked.
Actually, I was mainly surprised that this person brought her something.
Xi Qingxu watched as she looked at the bag with curiosity, and simply said, "Food."
