Shang Lin didn't think his senses were wrong. On the contrary, his senses were much sharper than ordinary people's, especially when it came to such a piercing gaze. However, he didn't care. Let him look if he wanted; it wasn't like he could do anything about it.
After explaining the problem, Shang Lin suddenly realized that the girl's handwriting looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. He looked at it carefully again and suddenly remembered that he had seen this handwriting in the pink cards he had inexplicably received before.
And this question has already been explained, yet this student is still asking irrelevant questions, so what's going on? Does she have feelings for me? Or is it like those men and women in my past life who went to great lengths to get close to me?
At Shang Lin's age, it would be impossible for him to still act like an ignorant teenager. But if his guess was true, then the piercing gaze he felt seemed to make sense.
But how wronged he must feel if this explanation makes sense? He didn't even know the girl's name, only that she was a classmate and roughly where she sat, yet someone else treated her as a rival!
No, final exams are coming up soon, so can't we focus on studying? But the next second, Shang Lin suddenly thought of Cheng Qiao. If someone is like him, it doesn't matter whether he focuses on studying or not.
Ugh, I have a bit of a headache.
Fortunately, the class bell rang soon, and the girl left in a hurry. Shang Lin instantly felt a sense of relief. He just wanted to study in peace and quiet, why was it so difficult?
Yuan Yuan, who had been watching quietly from the side, suddenly whispered, "I saw her put a small card in your desk before."
Shang Lin immediately looked at Yuan Yuan, "Who else did you see?"
Yuan Yuan glanced at the Chinese teacher who had already entered the room and immediately fell silent. Shang Lin was even more troubled now. Could it be that this young child was already trying to cause trouble? He lost interest in asking and decided to focus on his studies.
When school ended in the afternoon, Fan Mingyu called out to Shang Lin, "I'll walk with you."
Shang Lin looked at the other person with great confusion, "Why are you, a boarding student, walking with me?"
Fan Mingyu grabbed Shang Lin by the neck and dragged her away without a word, whispering as they walked, "Stay away from that Xu Feifei. She has a fiancé, and his family is rich and powerful. They're not easy to mess with."
"Wait a minute." Shang Lin frowned slightly, looking at Fan Mingyu with a face full of doubt. "Who is Xu Feifei?"
Fan Mingyu suddenly looked at Shang Lin as if he were an idiot, "You don't even know who the other person is, yet you're explaining problems to them. You're really quite the benevolent person!"
Shang Lin pushed Fan Mingyu's hand away. "Speak properly. What do you mean by universal love? Where did I... Wait a minute, you mean the girl who asked me questions this afternoon is named Xu Feifei?"
Fan Mingyu nodded, but Shang Lin looked at him in surprise and asked, "How old is she? Where did she get a fiancé? Do you think this is ancient times, where girls start looking for husbands at fourteen or fifteen and get married after they come of age?"
Fan Mingyu chuckled, "What's so surprising about that? A fiancé isn't a husband. So what if we're engaged? My father even arranged a marriage for me before he passed away, but he had too many mistresses and never paid attention to me."
Shang Lin, "..."
Suddenly, he felt that his understanding of the human world had been refreshed once again. It seemed that he had still had too little contact with humans.
Fan Mingyu continued, "Let me tell you first, I'm not looking down on you. I just think that since you come from a small mountain village, you don't meet many people, which is why you're so surprised. But I'm seriously reminding you that Xu Feifei's grades aren't bad either, and there's such a big gap between you two. Her intentions are too obvious, aren't they? You look like a good boy, the kind of guy who can easily win over girls' hearts. You're practically a heartbreaker."
Shang Lin looked at Fan Mingyu with a bewildered expression, "What do you mean by 'heartbreaker'? And how old are you? Don't act like you've been there all along, okay?"
Fan Mingyu, however, said dismissively, "What does age have to do with this? It has to do with the environment. Just listen to my advice, I won't hurt you."
Shang Lin didn't want to talk to the kid anymore, so she asked, "Are you still following me? Aren't you going to the cafeteria to fight for food?"
"No, I'm going out to eat today. Do you want to come with me?"
Shang Lin immediately refused, "No, I have to go home."
Fan Mingyu grinned mischievously, "He really is a good boy."
Shang Lin ignored Fan Mingyu and went home on her own. Since Xu Feifei had a fiancé, the gaze fixed on her should have nothing to do with her anymore.
No, if it's not related, why do I feel uneasy when Xu Feifei asks me math questions? Could her fiancé be in the class?
No, no, if we were in class, Fan Mingyu would have told me already. Judging from his completely informed expression, he wouldn't have kept it from me since he had already reminded me.
If he wasn't Xu Feifei's fiancé, why was that person staring at him? Or was it that the other person didn't know Xu Feifei had a fiancé? Was he still treating him as a potential rival?
Shang Lin really couldn't understand it, nor did he want to bother with it. He just felt that liking or disliking someone was too difficult, more difficult than doing anything else. So for so many years, he had kept his distance.
However, while eating at home, Shang Lin said to She Jinxing, "You come with me to evening class later, and see who's watching me."
She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi stopped eating at the same time, and asked almost simultaneously, "What's going on?"
"I don't know," Shang Lin said while eating. "This afternoon I felt like someone was watching me, like I was being watched by thorns. But with so many classmates, where could I find them? It also affected my concentration in class. Although it wasn't a big deal, it's still not a good feeling to be watched."
She Jinxing hurriedly agreed, "Okay, I'll go with the sect leader."
Shang Lin then asked Hu Tangdi, "How is your injury healing?"
"That's about it."
"Take good care of your injury. It's not too late to do anything else once you're fully healed."
"good."
Shenjun also ate with Shang Lin today. It seemed he had had enough fruit. He suddenly asked, "I saw some videos about school bullying while I was watching videos. There are many different ways it happens. Have you encountered this situation as well?"
Shang Lin paused, then suddenly laughed, "Even a god like you can find videos like this? You're not..."
"Stop! Why can't you grasp the main point?" Shenjun glared at Shang Lin with displeasure. "Am I talking about the video? I'm talking about school bullying."
Shang Lin quickly put on a smiling face, "My fault, my fault, but I'm a top student, so the school bullies wouldn't target me, right? Besides, I'm not a pushover, I won't let anyone bully me."
"That being said, one should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others."
"Yes, I know."
