Chapter 131, Part 2: The Academic Genius in Campus Novels
A soft, smiling voice fell.
A moment of silence fell over the classroom.
"Lin Zhiyao? Lin Zhiyao from Qiming High School?!"
A few students suddenly widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
Yu Wanwan looked over and nodded with a smile.
"It's me."
"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"
This reaction puzzled and intrigued the other students.
"Who is it? Is it famous?"
The students who spoke up no longer looked incredulous, but rather excited and admiring.
"Lin Zhiyao! She won the gold medal in the provincial math competition last year! She actually transferred to our school! And she's in our class! Am I dreaming?!"
Those students who had never participated in the competition still felt impressed but didn't understand.
But you can vaguely sense that this person is an extraordinary academic genius!
Even more reacting than her classmates who knew her was Xu Qingzhou, who hadn't looked up at all.
He suddenly looked up as her voice faded.
Their eyes met.
A gentle and tender person.
A restrained burning heat.
In an instant, Yu Wanwan looked away.
Just now, she had only caught a glimpse of him by chance while looking around her new surroundings.
Xu Qingzhou's fingers kept tightening.
A barely suppressed tremor, originating from the depths of his soul, caused his body to quiver slightly.
She's been found!
Teacher Zhou didn't notice the brief exchange of glances between the two, as she was looking for an empty seat.
Soon, he noticed the empty seat next to Xu Qingzhou.
"Xu Qingzhou!"
Xu Qingzhou paused, forcibly suppressing the emotions that were about to overwhelm his soul, and stood up to steady himself.
Old Zhou lowered his head and asked Yu Wanwan in a gentle voice.
"Zhiyao, what do you think of the seat next to him?"
Yu Wanwan glanced over and nodded nonchalantly.
The cane tapped the ground slowly and steadily, making a rhythmic tapping sound.
That sound seemed to strike Xu Qingzhou's heart.
His gaze was fixed on her, filled with restraint, inquiry, and an indescribable excitement.
Xu Qingzhou subconsciously got up from his seat and went to greet her.
Yu Wanwan didn't stand on ceremony with him and sat down in her seat with his help, feeling perfectly at ease.
She put the cane down and nodded to him with gentle politeness, yet with a distant air, to express her gratitude.
"Thanks."
Xu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes.
And she's not going to take responsibility?
Noticing the curious stares from those around him, Xu Qingzhou didn't do anything.
Push the textbook to the middle so she can see it too.
"A simple thank you isn't enough."
"Student Lin."
The voice was soft, tinged with tenderness.
Yu Wanwan, however, captured it precisely.
She curled the corners of her lips slightly, but her face showed just the right amount of bewilderment.
"What?"
A strange calm settled over Xu Qingzhou's heart.
It seemed that her reaction was not at all surprising.
Teacher Zhou has started to resume the lesson that was interrupted earlier.
Xu Qingzhou looked at the podium and tapped his finger lightly on the desk.
"It's nothing, you should pay attention in class now, Lin."
His calm reaction was remarkable, if it weren't for the fact that he would occasionally glance at her unconsciously.
There was a hint of grievance in his eyes that he probably didn't even realize himself, and she almost thought that he hadn't recognized her at all.
Yu Wanwan slightly pursed her lips.
The cultivation in the last world was very effective; I've grown a lot.
So calm, that's boring.
On the podium, the teacher delivered his lecture with great enthusiasm and passion.
Below the podium, however, their minds had already wandered far away, each with their own plans.
The class passed by as the two were lost in their own thoughts.
The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.
As soon as the teacher left the classroom, before Xu Qingzhou could even speak, Yu Wanwan stood up, leaning on her crutches.
Xu Qingzhou instinctively grabbed her hem.
Where to?
He didn't use much force, but he managed to make Yu Wanwan stop. She looked down at him, still with that gentle, distant, and polite attitude.
"restroom."
"..."
"What? Does Xu want to come with me?"
A student passing by, on their way to get water: ? ? ?
What the heck?
The classmate who was about to ask her for advice: ? ? ?
Huh? These two know each other?
Xu Qingzhou choked for a moment, glanced at the classmates around him, smiled slightly, and naturally stood up, taking her arm in his large hand.
"Yes, your leg is injured, I'll take you there."
"..."
Yu Wanwan gave him a strange look.
Okay.
The two left the classroom in this somewhat ambiguous manner, completely disregarding what the students behind them thought.
"Student Xu."
Yu Wanwan leaned forward slightly, placing her weight on him.
Are you this kind-hearted to everyone?
Her breath brushed against his ear, carrying the familiar scent of herbs and trees.
Xu Qingzhou tightened his grip on her arm almost imperceptibly, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his gaze became somewhat deep.
"I'm only warm towards you."
Yu Wanwan raised an eyebrow.
I'm very familiar with that look in his eyes.
In the last world, every time he was tricked into doing those kinds of things by her, he had this look in his eyes.
This is a gaze that belongs only to her.
Yu Wanwan turned her head slightly, her eyes fixed straight ahead.
"Xu, you'd better be careful. These words can easily be misunderstood."
What's the misunderstanding?
Xu Qingzhou remained calm and carefully protected her, shielding her from the students coming and going in the corridor.
"I like you?"
"uh-huh!"
Xu Qingzhou smiled, stopped at the bathroom door, let go of her, and didn't go any further.
"It's not a misunderstanding."
Taking advantage of her leg injury, he patted her head, his brows relaxed, and a slightly roguish smile appeared on his lips.
"I just like you."
It's so flamboyant and sexy.
Yu Wanwan shivered and gave him a strange look a few more times.
That's incredible.
This person seems to have unlocked some other attribute.
Yu Wanwan shook herself and went into the bathroom, leaning on her crutches.
She really couldn't hold it in any longer and didn't have time to chat with him anymore!
After watching her safely enter the restroom, Xu Qingzhou leaned against the railing not far away and glanced in one direction.
There, Ye Shutong was holding a water glass, staring blankly in this direction.
Xu Qingzhou paused for a moment, gave her a friendly but distant nod, and then looked away.
His attitude is not much different from that of a scumbag, but he can still make people feel a clear distance from him.
Soon, Yu Wanwan came out from inside.
Xu Qingzhou's cold and restrained aura immediately softened. He carefully supported her, lowered his head, and spoke to her.
Only after the two figures disappeared into the corridor did Ye Shutong cover her eyes and slowly squat down.
"Tongtong, are you alright?"
The girl next to her looked at her with concern.
Ye Shutong shook her head, her voice choked with emotion, filled with bewilderment.
"Xingxing, he's not making excuses to reject me, nor is he stringing me along as you say. He really does have someone he likes..."
Xingxing saw what just happened.
When facing that girl, Xu Qingzhou exuded a kind of aura that he had never shown in front of Ye Shutong and the others.
She didn't know how to describe the way he looked at that girl.
However, his eyes lit up as soon as the girl appeared, as if he had seen a little dog with bones.
This was the same look he never gave Ye Shutong before.
It's fine when there's no comparison.
Now we have a comparison.
Love or not, it's really obvious.
Xingxing didn't know what to say, so she just hugged Ye Shutong and gently stroked her back.
"It's okay, there are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one, right?"
Her family and Ye Shutong's family were old friends; the two grew up together.
Ye Shutong knew better than anyone how much she liked Xu Qingzhou.
"Tongtong, we're still young. You'll meet even better people in the future!"
Ye Shutong could only shake her head and sob, unable to speak.
Back in the classroom, Yu Wanwan lay on the desk, flipping through the textbooks that Teacher Zhou had just brought her.
"Aren't you going to see her?"
Xu Qingzhou was a little confused.
"who?"
"..."
Goodness.
Let's leave aside the last world, at least the poor thing tricked him first.
The poor thing in this world hasn't done anything.
Does he no longer intend to care about his mission objectives?
"The girl you just made cry."
Xu Qingzhou was even more confused, his head full of questions.
"When did I make a girl cry?"
She went into the bathroom, and he obediently stayed outside to wait for her.
During this time, I didn't speak or interact with anyone.
How dare you slander someone!
"..."
Yu Wanwan remained silent for a few seconds.
It seems they really didn't notice.
Okay.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with her.
That wasn't her mission objective.
It wasn't until the next class started that Xu Qingzhou belatedly realized who she was talking about.
For a moment, I didn't know what expression to make.
Since she saw it all, couldn't she tell that Ye Shutong liked him?
Although he wasn't the original owner of this body, Ye Shutong probably didn't like him as a person.
But the body he's using now belongs to the original owner, and Ye Shutong's affection is directed towards him.
Isn't she jealous at all?
The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel.
Xu Qingzhou turned his head and looked at Yu Wanwan, who was listening attentively to the lesson beside him.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a shadow on her lowered eyelashes.
It's unbelievably beautiful.
As he watched, Xu Qingzhou inexplicably became lost in thought.
In fact, when it comes to appearance, Yu Wanwan's features are not as delicate as Ye Shutong's.
If anyone were to choose who is more beautiful, they would definitely choose Ye Shutong.
But why does he like her so much?
It's not that I like this face.
It is the soul hidden beneath this physical body.
He could simply look at her without feeling the slightest bit annoyed.
You can watch it over and over again without getting tired of it.
Suddenly, the girl he was staring at turned her head, a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
Um?
gloat?
"Xu Qingzhou!"
A piece of chalk flew down from above and hit him squarely on the forehead.
Xu Qingzhou suddenly snapped out of his daze and looked up.
The teacher was standing on the podium, glaring at him with a face full of anger.
"Since you dare to get distracted, it seems you know how to solve this problem. Come up to the blackboard and solve it!"
"..."
Xu Qingzhou was unusually embarrassed.
He's never made such a fool of himself in all his years of life.
Of course, there was more confusion than anything else.
He didn't listen to anything at all, and there was nothing written on the blackboard.
I have no idea which problem I need to solve.
Xu Qingzhou's sleeve was gently tugged, and he looked down at it.
Yu Wanwan tapped a question on the textbook with her slender fingers.
Xu Qingzhou licked his lips, and under the watchful, barely suppressed laughter of his classmates, he slowly stood up, carefully stepped past Yu Wanwan who was sitting on the outside, and went to the podium with his textbook.
He stood in front of the blackboard, his chalk writing flowing and exuding a sharp, domineering aura.
That is the spirit that has been refined and accumulated over the years.
The characters he wrote were not at all like those of someone his age.
As the solution steps gradually emerged, the teacher's expression softened considerably.
Only after he finished writing and stood obediently to the side did the teacher's expression completely relax, showing satisfaction.
"Alright, you can go now."
Xu Qingzhou breathed a slight sigh of relief and quietly returned to his seat.
After he was seated, the teacher leaned on the podium and began to lecture him earnestly.
"I know that at your age, it's natural to have feelings for attractive people of the opposite sex. But you must remember that this is a school, a classroom. Don't let these teenage misunderstandings interfere with your studies, understand?"
