Chapter 35 Let's just stay here and wait.
Zhou Yanchuan looked at the person who immediately lowered their head when they met his gaze and couldn't help but wonder what was wrong.
Not long after the afternoon self-study session began, Wen Jiu was called away to the multimedia classroom for a class committee meeting.
The meeting was very simple, mainly discussing the division of hygiene zones for each class this semester, how to calculate quantitative scores, and matters such as appearance and hairstyles.
After Wen Jiu finished memorizing the last word, he heard the section chief say it was over and stood up from his chair.
At that time, the hallway was deserted, and the surroundings were quiet. Just as she finished climbing the last flight of stairs and turned to walk towards the classroom, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Zhou Yanchuan stood at the corner, staring straight at her.
Wen Jiu pursed her lips, lowered her head, and continued walking forward.
Zhou Yanchuan, seeing that she seemed not to have seen him, spoke just as she was about to brush past him: "Not even a glance?"
Yesterday I avoided him; today I simply ignore him.
That was done quite decisively.
Wen Jiu paused for a moment, but still didn't look at him.
Zhou Yanchuan stepped to the side, blocking the person's path.
"If you don't want to talk, we'll just stay here."
The bitterness that Wen Jiu had finally managed to suppress welled up again.
He must be wondering about this too, but he still came to her to try and resolve the issue.
Seeing him like this, she wanted to explain, but the words wouldn't come out. All her unusual behavior and distance stemmed from that inappropriate affection.
Zhou Yanchuan kept staring at the person in front of her. She lowered her head, her eyelashes trembled nervously, and she bit her lip tightly. The fingertips of the hand holding the notebook turned white from the force.
His whole body exuded tension and unease.
He was about to say forget it, but then the person suddenly raised their head.
His face looked incredibly wronged.
She said, "You don't need to worry about me for now, I'll be fine in a few days."
Zhou Yanchuan felt a dull ache in his heart, as if something had pierced it: "Wen Chengyu is back again?"
"without."
"That……"
"Zhou Yanchuan."
He stopped speaking when the girl called his name, gazing into her clear, bright eyes, waiting for her to speak.
"I want to go back and do my homework," she said softly.
Zhou Yanchuan didn't believe him, but what he said was, "Okay."
He stepped aside to make way.

The classroom fan creaked and groaned, and the bittersweet feeling that lingered in Wen Jiu's heart lingered.
She sat in her seat for a while, and after she calmed down, she reached out and pulled out an exercise book from her desk drawer.
As soon as I opened the first page, a rich fragrance wafted to my nose. The classroom, which had only been quiet for a few minutes, stirred slightly.
What does it taste like?
"Who made instant noodles?"
Zhou Yanchuan glanced at the three people who came over carrying a bucket of instant noodles and asked with his eyes, "What's up?"
"You didn't even touch your lunch."
As Su Shun spoke, she placed the noodles on his table, then grabbed a few books from the side and held them up in front of him, indicating, "Eat quickly."
Zhou Yanchuan glanced down at the table, about to speak, when he turned his head and saw that the three of them weren't looking at him at all, but staring intently at the instant noodles on his table.
"Promising."
"I won't eat it."
"Really?" The tone immediately became excited.
"..."
Was this bought for him?
“Hmm,” Zhou Yanchuan replied.
The instant noodle bucket in front of him was taken away as soon as he finished speaking.
"..."
I'm speechless.
Zhou Yanchuan cursed under his breath, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.
But when he thought of the girl's eyes just now, he couldn't laugh anymore.
He ignored the three men, pulled two books from the drawer, and then lay down.
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Su Shun asked, slurping as he looked at the person who had fallen asleep.
"It's alright," Chen Yu took the food from his hand, stirred it with a fork, and was about to lower his head to eat when footsteps came from the doorway.
"Is it Lao Guan?" he asked in a low voice.
Wu Feng was about to turn his head to look when he was stopped: "Don't turn around."
"What should we do?" Su Shun asked.
Chen Yu thought for a moment and then focused his gaze on the figure lying face down.
Seeing the person who placed a cup of instant noodles on Zhou Yanchuan's table, Su Shun and Wu Feng's eyes widened: "Do you want to die?"
Chen Yu made a "shh" gesture, skillfully placed the instant noodle cup in his hand on the table next to him, then quickly sat up straight, picked up a book, and pretended that nothing had happened.
Not long after he finished doing this, a shadow fell over him, and Lao Guan's voice rang out: "Do you think I'm blind?"
"Um?"
"Get out!"
Seeing that they had been caught red-handed, Su Shun and Wu Feng couldn't help but laugh.
Old Guan turned his head.
The smiles on their faces vanished instantly, but they still couldn't escape the words: "You two get out too!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Old Guan watched the three people leave, then turned his gaze to the figure sleeping on the table, a hint of apology in his eyes.
I should have thought twice before saying those things yesterday.
This is like rubbing salt into someone's wound.

Su Shun peered out the window into the classroom. "Don't you guys think Brother Chuan is in a bad mood today?"
Chen Yu, munching on instant noodles, peeked over and asked, "Did you have a fight with your girlfriend?"
"No, I think my sister-in-law has always been very happy."
"Then he," Su Shun said, noticing that Lao Guan had moved to the middle. He looked up at the girl talking to Lao Guan and his face flushed slightly.

Due to extra tutoring, the teachers in the second year of high school are frantically rushing through the curriculum. The math formulas I memorized in my notebook yesterday haven't even been digested yet, and new concepts are already popping up today.
Lin Meng stared at the test paper she couldn't answer at all and couldn't help but want to cry.
"What's wrong?" Wen Jiu noticed that the girl hadn't started writing and asked her softly.
She could have held back, but upon hearing the girl's gentle and concerned voice, Lin Meng couldn't hold back any longer: "Classmate."
She let out a pitiful cry.
Wen Jiu responded and put down her pen: "Is it because you don't know how?"
"Mmm," she said, her voice trembling with tears.
"Where don't you understand? I'll teach you."
Hearing this, Lin Meng pouted, feeling even more like crying.
How can it be so good?
And she doesn't know anything about it.
"Waaah."
Compared to the first year of high school, not only is the pace of learning faster, but the teachers are also much stricter. The question they hear most often every day is, "Do you still think you're in the first year of high school?"
It was easy to play when I was in the first year of high school, and I still played in the second year, but I always felt like there was an invisible thread taut in my mind when I played, so I didn't feel at ease.
But as uneasy as I am, I still have to have fun.
Class 9 is a regular class, and the learning atmosphere is much more relaxed compared to the key classes.
In the classroom, the things Wen Jiu heard most every day were: What's for lunch today? Who's dating whom? Which teacher is the most annoying?
Makeup suddenly became popular in the class.
The school strictly forbids makeup, but several girls would tuck a small mirror into their books and apply makeup in front of them every day.
The boys were yelling and screaming, "A ghost!"
Ning Yixue rolled her eyes and couldn't help but complain, "These guys in our class are so annoying."
"Seriously, in other classes, they help the girls carry their books and escort them home, but when it comes to our class, they either ask for snacks or snatch novels. They're just a bunch of elementary school kids."
As the girls were complaining, a head suddenly popped out: "Old Guan is here!"
