Cong Nian squatted on the ground, picking up the scattered homework books.
Because it was hot and because she had just bumped into someone, her face was a little red and she was embarrassed to look up at the person she had bumped into.
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice anyone."
"Are you okay?"
Both of them spoke at the same time.
The man was also helping her pick up her homework books.
He has slender, white hands with distinct joints, and the watch on his wrist makes his skin look even whiter.
It looks like it should be a boy.
The familiar voice made her look up, and then she opened her mouth in surprise.
"Senior Fang Xun."
Only when he heard her voice did Fang Xun look up, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Since returning from Haicheng that day, the two have not met in school.
The corners of his mouth curled up, and a gentle smile appeared.
Fang Xun raised his hand to brush away a strand of hair scattered on her cheek. Looking at her rosy little face, he felt inexplicably cute.
The voice also became a little softer.
"Junior sister, what are you rushing to do?"
After picking up the exercise book that fell on the ground, Fang Xun glanced at the cover and understood.
Instead of returning it to her, he held it in his arms and took the books from her hands.
Cong Nian stared blankly.
"Going to hand in your homework? Let me help you."
Fang Xun patted his homework book and was about to turn around.
"Ah? No, no... How can I have the nerve to trouble you, Senior?"
"I'll be fine. Senior, you probably have other things to do, right?"
Cong Nian came to his senses and raised his hand to take the homework book from him.
Fang Xun dodged it by taking advantage of his height.
In a flash, she bumped into Fang Xun's arms.
All this happened suddenly and inexplicably, and her mind went blank.
There was a dry, hot smell in the air, and a faint scent of ink coming from him.
The homework book that she had difficulty holding up just now was now easily held up by him with one hand.
It was a hot day, and both of them were only wearing thin short-sleeved school uniforms. The friction between the clothes made the atmosphere a little weird.
"No, sorry."
Cong Nian jumped away suddenly, his face turning even redder.
Why am I always so reckless!
Fortunately, Senior Fang Xun is a good person. If it were someone else, I don’t know how many times he would have scolded me.
Fang Xun looked at her with her head lowered, her earlobes red as if they were about to bleed, and he curled his lips slightly.
"I didn't notice someone coming around the corner just now, so I bumped into you. Is this my way of making up for it by delivering your homework?"
Seeing that she was hesitating and not moving, Fang Xun glanced at the top exercise book and saw the name of the teacher.
"Were you also taught by Teacher Vera?"
He asked.
The topic was successfully changed, and Cong Nian looked up blankly.
"Do you know Teacher Vera?"
Fang Xun nodded and walked towards the stairs of the teachers' building.
"She also taught me English in my freshman year of high school. She was a very strict teacher."
"Does she often yell at students in class? Does she even make those who aren't good at English stand outside as punishment?"
Hearing the familiar description, Cong Nian nodded rapidly and followed Fang Xun.
She was timid and went to deliver the homework book to the English teacher alone. To be honest, she was a little scared.
When she entered the office, the quiet atmosphere made her feel inexplicably scared.
Fang Xun looked at her expression as if she was facing a great enemy and chuckled.
"Don't be afraid. Teacher Vera is actually a very nice person, she just seems a little strict on the outside."
Cong Nian swallowed and stared at the English teacher's desk.
When I got closer, I saw that she was no longer in her position and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Senior is probably one of the few people who would praise her."
At least he was the first student she had ever met who would praise his English teacher as a good person.
A teacher with an unfamiliar face at the next table stood up from his workstation and waved at Fang Xun.
"Student Fang Xun? You're just in time. Come on, come on. I have something to discuss with you."
"Who? Fang Xun is here?"
Several other teachers looked up.
As expected of a senior, he is very famous in school.
Cong Nian thought silently.
Seeing so many teachers looking for Fang Xun, he planned to leave quietly, but Fang Xun grabbed his wrist.
He leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear, his hot breath blowing across her face.
"Give me a moment."
Then, he walked towards the teachers who called him with a smile on his face.
Cong Nian has always been very well-behaved. After hearing what he said, she stood obediently next to the English teacher's seat and waited for him.
Because of the partitions on the workstations, she couldn't see the teachers' expressions, but she could hear their voices.
"There's a digital modeling competition in the province next month. Each school has two spots. Do you have time to participate?"
"If I win, I might be able to get into the Department of Mathematics at National Tsing Hua University. This competition was organized by National Tsing Hua University."
Department of Mathematics, National Tsing Hua University...
Cong Nian opened his eyes wide, listening to the gentle voice, like the gurgling of running water.
"Next month? There's a timeline, but I heard it seems like this time it's a two-person team competition?"
"Who's your partner?"
"The school leader hasn't been decided yet. We're going to wait until the midterm exam results come out before selecting the best person to be your partner."
"Okay, teacher, I understand."
Later, several teachers pulled Fang Xun aside and praised his recent studies and the awards he had won.
In Cong Nian's opinion, Fang Xun was so powerful.
Does such a powerful person really exist?
She couldn't help but feel curious.
He Sui seems to be particularly good at math...
"Class is about to start, teacher. I'll be leaving first."
Hearing the sound of light footsteps, Cong Nian looked up and happened to meet Fang Xun's gaze.
The sunlight outside the window is bright, even a little dazzling.
With the light behind him, he walked slowly towards her.
Completely different from He Sui's seductive fox eyes, Fang Xun has peach blossom eyes.
The folds of her double eyelids are clear but not exaggerated. Her every frown, smile, and gesture are as gentle as the breeze.
Let those who see him be stunned.
When he looks at someone quietly, his eyes are so gentle that they can melt water.
It is like a piece of fine unpolished jade, crystal clear without the need for processing or polishing.
"Junior school girl?"
Fang Xun smiled and spoke in a soft voice. He raised his hand and waved in front of the stunned Cong Nian.
Cong Nian then realized that he had been distracted just now.
His face suddenly turned red.
