Fu Xiuhan and Shi Qian were sitting at the same desk. Shi Qian listened attentively and took notes throughout the lesson, without speaking to Fu Xiuhan at all. Fu Xiuhan began to wonder if the person next to him was really the one who had confessed to him back then.
I didn't say a single word to him during the two classes.
The English teacher was still on the podium explaining the essential knowledge points for the senior year exams, while Fu Xiuhan had a reference book with key points laid out in front of him, but his eyes were not focused on it.
He kept glancing at Shi Qian next door out of the corner of his eye. Shi Qian was completely different from before. That shy and difficult strange person was now sitting right next to him.
In the past, Fu Xiuhan would absolutely not have allowed Shi Qian to sit next to him. It was unthinkable to let a persistent suitor take advantage of such proximity to harass him. Fu Xiuhan would have refused the moment the homeroom teacher suggested he sit next to her.
But when the homeroom teacher asked Shi Qian to sit with him, he didn't resist at all, which was completely illogical.
Is he someone who can be easily seduced by beauty?
Just because Shi Qian was unattractive before, she rejected him. Now that she finds Shi Qian is good-looking, can she accept his advances without any psychological burden?
For the first time, Fu Xiuhan thought that the word "superficial" could be used to describe himself, and he was suddenly shocked, as this was completely contrary to his understanding of himself.
Sitting next to him, Shi Qian had no idea what Fu Xiuhan was thinking at that moment; she just sat there blankly.
So sleepy.
Shi Qian was a little unaccustomed to returning to the classroom on her first day. There were just too many people, and she really wanted to go home.
Shi Qian stared blankly at the English book in front of him. He hadn't bought the reference book the teacher had mentioned yet. Shi Qian took out a pen and wrote down the book's name, thinking that he would go to the bookstore with Meng Qing after school to take a look.
He was completely oblivious to the stares directed at him from the side until his elbow was gently nudged.
Shi Qian thought he had crossed the line and disturbed his deskmate, so he withdrew his hand a little.
However, the person next to him continued to nudge his arm.
Shi Qian's gaze shifted to the area where the two desks met, moving vertically downwards to confirm that her hand was properly within that small area and had not crossed the line.
Could it be that his deskmate disliked him for sitting next to him and disturbing his studies?
After thinking it over carefully, Shi Qian calmed his breathing. He realized that he had been a little nervous and his breathing was too loud. Shi Qian made a deep self-criticism of this.
Seeing that Shi Qian was ignoring him, Fu Xiuhan wrote a note and stuck it on the book in front of Shi Qian.
Shi Qian belatedly lowered his head and looked at the contents above.
- You don't have any reference books to read with me.
After handing over the note, Fu Xiuhan pushed his book towards the middle, gesturing for Shi Qian to read it together.
Shi Qian then came to her senses, whispered "thank you," and leaned closer to Fu Xiuhan.
So that I can see the contents of the book clearly.
The moment Shi Qian leaned closer, Fu Xiuhan's heart suddenly raced. He could almost smell a faint fragrance on Shi Qian, like the scent of oranges, which smelled quite nice.
Fu Xiuhan couldn't control his gaze and glanced at Shi Qian's face before instantly looking away.
It's really beautiful.
How come I never noticed how beautiful Shi Qian was before?
If Shi Qian had pursued him in the way she is now, to be honest, it wouldn't be unacceptable.
Fu Xiuhan was shocked by his own sudden thought. What was he thinking? He clearly didn't like boys.
But is it really that she doesn't like boys?
Fu Xiuhan glanced at Shi Qian again, thinking that perhaps not.
Sitting in the back, Meng Qing kept an eye on Shi Qian's movements. When she saw Fu Xiuhan looking at Shi Qian, she felt a little uncomfortable.
This person seemed to have designs on Shi Qian; he looked like he had ill intentions.
Meng Qing lowered her head and said something to Song Qi, who nodded.
Finally, get out of class ended, and Song Qi, who was sitting behind Fu Xiuhan, suddenly spoke up.
"Shi Qian, let's switch seats. You can sit here with me."
Upon hearing this, Shi Qian neither nodded in agreement nor refused, but simply began to silently pack her things.
Fu Xiuhan was a little unhappy. Why was Song Qi suddenly changing positions?
He turned to look at Song Qi, who responded with a look that said, "You don't need to say anything, I understand." Before Fu Xiuhan could say anything, Meng Qing had already started helping to move the table.
Soon, Shi Qian switched places with Song Qi and sat next to Meng Qing, behind Fu Xiuhan.
“It’s not good for Shi Qian to sit behind me. I’m taller than him and I’ll block his view.”
Fu Xiuhan thought for a long time and finally came up with a suitable reason, hoping that this would bring the person back.
"Hey, what's the big deal? I'll just switch places with you! I'm shorter than Shi Qian, so I won't block him."
The very efficient Song Qi pushed Fu Xiuhan, chair and all, to the side and quickly switched places with him.
After a series of actions, Fu Xiuhan sat in front of Meng Qing, while Song Qi sat in front of Shi Qian.
"See, it doesn't block the view anymore!"
"But Xiu Han, I'm not as tall as you. I've been sitting behind you for so long, and you never thought to block my view of the blackboard. That's not very kind of you, brother."
"Let's sit like this for now. I'll talk to the homeroom teacher and let everyone get used to it."
Fu Xiuhan originally sat at the same table as Shi Qian, then they were moved to sit in front of each other, and now they're not even in front of each other anymore. He felt a little bitter.
For the first time, he felt that his childhood friend was a little displeasing to the eye.
Nosy.
However, now that the seats have been changed and Shi Qian hasn't said anything, it would be too strange for me to ask to switch back now.
Looking at Shi Qian sitting next to her, Meng Qing instantly felt much more at ease.
It's best to put it next to me. The person in front of me always looks at Shi Qian with strange eyes; he doesn't seem like a good person.
Meng Qing helped Shi Qian pack her things, then shook Shi Qian's water glass; the water inside had already been drunk.
"I'm going to get some water, do you want to come with me?"
Shi Qian nodded and was about to pick up the water glass when Meng Qing spoke first, "Let's go, I'll get it."
And so, the two of them left the classroom one after the other.
After the two left, Song Qi approached Fu Xiuhan and said, "Xiuhan, poor you, you have to sit next to Shi Qian. Luckily, your brother here is reliable. To prevent this guy from bothering you like before, I'll switch seats with him right away."
"But don't you think he's changed quite a bit?"
"I used to dress up haphazardly, but I didn't expect that I would look quite good after tidying myself up."
"But what's the use of being good-looking if you don't like men? Even if he's an angel, it won't matter."
"Just thinking about how he used to relentlessly pursue you and send you love letters every day gives me goosebumps."
"See, I'm the more considerate one."
After finishing speaking, Song Qi rubbed his arms, then touched Fu Xiuhan's arm and gave him a flirtatious wink.
Fu Xiuhan was speechless and felt a bit like breaking off the friendship.
