Chapter 15
Tao Luanxi didn't speak a word to Qiu Yi for a week, and was concentrating on studying to avenge his past humiliation. Qiu Yi was also very honest and didn't provoke him. He was often not seen during evening study. Over time, the table that was connected to Tao Luanxi was moved back by the teacher.
"Tao Luanxi, your notes." Lin Qian [Student Councillor] put a thick notebook on Tao Luanxi's desk: "Thank you so much! I didn't expect you to take such good notes. If I had known earlier, I should have borrowed some from you. It's much more efficient than studying by myself!"
Tao Luanxi smiled but said nothing. He had spent a lot of effort preparing this notebook. The content in it closely followed the teaching pace of Class A and basically covered most of the knowledge points that would be covered in the exam. Before every monthly exam, it circulated among most of the students in Class A. Tao Luanxi looked at the notebook that he hadn't seen for more than a week and felt that it was a bit unfamiliar.
"You can even sell these notes for money. Five hundred per review, guaranteed to help you pass the monthly exam! Business is definitely going to be good!"
Tao Luanxi pursed her lips and smiled: "We are all classmates, we should help each other." Young Master, I am not short of money! I am short of praise!
Wei Yuan came over and asked: "Did you take notes on the new chapter of chemistry we taught the day before yesterday?"
"I did, but I wrote it down on a few more pieces of paper." Tao Luanxi took out those pieces of paper from a pile of textbooks, put them in the notebook that he had just received and was not yet warm, and handed them to Wei Yuan: "Do you want to use them?"
Wei Yuan nodded hurriedly, took the notebook with both hands, lowered his head and opened it to study it carefully.
Qiu Yi had been absent quite a lot these past few days. Tao Luanxi was sitting in the second seat in the first examination room. With only ten minutes left before the exam, and the person in the seat in front of her still not showing up, Tao Luanxi couldn't help but feel a little worried.
This guy won't even show up for the exam! How can I crush him?
Tao Luanxi was just clasping his hands and thinking blankly when the invigilator had already started distributing the test papers. When the papers were almost all distributed, Shanshan, the top-ranked boy in the grade, arrived late and walked into the examination room with a bag on his shoulder.
The invigilator paused at the door and whispered, "Put your schoolbag outside!"
Qiu Yi lazily took down his schoolbag and put it on the ground. The invigilator, who was also acquainted with Qiu Yi, half scolded and half joked, "How dare you be late for the exam? You are getting more and more courageous now!"
"Something happened at home."
The back of his head was patted lightly. Qiu Yi said nothing, walked to his seat, sat down, opened the test paper and started answering the questions.
Tao Luanxi was sitting behind him and heard the conversation clearly. He stopped writing, raised his eyes and glanced at Qiu Yi. The young man's broad back was exactly the same as he remembered, but for some reason there was a chill around him.
Tao Luanxi blinked and suddenly realized that he had been distracted at some point. He quickly shook his head and concentrated on answering the questions.
The test paper was not difficult, more than half of them were basic questions, Tao Luanxi had already practiced them, the last few questions were a little bit difficult, he had analyzed the question-setting style of No. 1 Middle School before, knew how teachers generally liked to test, and had done targeted exercises, so it was not difficult for him to answer them, and he had plenty of time left after finishing the last one, so he put down his pen and checked it from beginning to end to make sure there were no problems, then waited patiently for the paper to be handed in.
There was a sound of a chair being pulled away, and Qiu Yi, who was sitting in the first seat, stood up, put his paper on the desk and walked away. The invigilator was already used to it and did not try to stop him, as it was impossible to stop him anyway, so he just let him go.
"You little bastard!" the invigilator cursed.
Tao Luanxi looked up at the time and was a little surprised that there were only ten minutes left before the paper was handed in. Usually, the person in front of her would have already walked away when Tao Luanxi hadn't finished yet, which made Tao Luanxi extremely jealous.
Is this paper difficult?
Tao Luanxi read it again carefully, and after confirming that it was of only medium difficulty, she began to feel secretly happy. As expected, Qiu Yi was going to be left behind by her this time.
The monthly exams at No. 1 Middle School are usually scheduled on weekends so as not to interfere with normal class time. After the exams, teachers quickly grade the papers and post them on the bulletin board on Monday morning.
Tao Luanxi stood in front of the bulletin board, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the ranking carefully over and over again - Tao Luanxi was first.
If there weren't so many people here, Tao Luanxi really wanted to jump up and kiss the notice board.
It has been almost half a year since Tao Luanxi came to No. 1 Middle School, and this is the first time he has won first place.
Mom’s is so touching!
"Shit, Qiu Yi is in trouble this time! With this result, I'm afraid Brother Shen will scold him to death."
Tao Luanxi inadvertently heard this sentence and realized that he and Qiu Yi had switched positions in the rankings, with Qiu Yi becoming second.
It's still a very good score, but it's still more than ten points behind Tao Luanxi.
Cool!
Tao Luanxi admired Qiu Yi's score for a while, and thought about asking Shen Tan for a copy to frame at home when he went to the office in the evening.
When I returned to the classroom, several boys were surrounding Qiu Yi.
Yan Hai patted Qiu Yi on the back and said, "Oh, everyone has a bad day. Your physics teacher protects you so much, and our Brother Shen can't do anything to you."
"Brother Qiu hasn't been very supportive lately! What's going on?"
Qiu Yi ignored all of them until Tao Luanxi sat down next to him calmly. Then Qiu Yi asked, "How many points did you get this time?"
Tao Luanxi raised his head unconsciously: "992."
"Oh, twelve points higher than me, that's a lot."
Tao Luanxi pretended not to hear and lowered her head to pretend to look at the test paper that had just been handed out on the table, but she couldn't help but smile.
Qiu Yi took in all his little movements, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Yan Hai was stunned: "Brother, don't be like this. If Shen Tan comes looking for you and you dare to laugh like this, even the principal won't be able to save you!"
"It's okay. I'm in a good mood."
No one in this circle understood why Qiu Yi was in a good mood after such a disappointing performance. They all looked at Qiu Yi in confusion.
"The daffodils I raised are blooming, and I'm in a good mood," Qiu Yi explained.
"..."Okay, just be happy.
Tao Luanxi has not been as happy as he is today since he entered high school. Every time he attends a new class, the teacher publicly praises him for his good grades and hard work. When school is over, Tao Luanxi feels like he is floating.
In the last self-study class, Qiu Yi was called to the office by the sullen-faced Shen Tan as expected, while Wei Yuan at the back poked Tao Luanxi.
"Congratulations, you finally got first place in the exam."
Tao Luanxi pursed her lips: "Thank you."
"By the way, can you lend me your notes from last time? I'm going to print a copy."
"Okay." Tao Luanxi touched the desk and searched through various teaching aids but couldn't find the notes.
"Sorry, I can't seem to find it." Tao Luanxi flipped through the book while recalling carefully. He had lent this notebook to too many people, and it had not been in Tao Luanxi's hands for much before the exam. For a moment, he really couldn't remember who had the notebook now.
"Gone?" Wei Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I remember that after I returned it to you last time, you gave it to a girl from another class not long after."
Tao Luanxi had no impression at all: "Did you see who it was?"
Wei Yuan thought about it carefully and said, "Not really. I'm not very familiar with other classes."
There is nothing we can do.
Tao Luanxi frowned: "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't borrow it."
"It's okay, it's okay," Wei Yuan waved his hands hurriedly, "Just ask someone else now. It would be a shame to lose such a thick handwritten notebook."
Who says it isn't?
Tao Luanxi felt distressed when she thought about the several nights she had stayed up for that thing.
However, Tao Luanxi has always been quite famous in the school and is also a member of the Youth League branch. He knows most of the students in his grade. Now I don’t know who to ask when I want to.
When the school bell rang and most people had left, Tao Luanxi took out her cell phone and sent QQ messages to a few people she frequently contacted to ask about the notes.
Only one person replied immediately: "I gave you that note before. I saw you put it in your desk."
Tao Luanxi frowned, replied "OK, thank you," then stood up and walked out.
At the other end of the corridor, outside the teacher's office wall, Qiu Yi was holding a test paper with his hands behind his back, leaning against the wall boredly, looking at the trees outside the window. The two of them were far apart, and he did not notice Tao Luanxi here.
The physics teacher came out carrying a briefcase and chatted with Qiu Yi for a few words. Then he patted Qiu Yi on the shoulder and went home after get off work.
Shen Tan's powerful voice came from the office: "Get in here!"
Qiu Yi entered the office and closed the door.
Qiu Yi gave up too much this time, and being scolded by Shen Tan was a foregone conclusion. However, Tao Luanxi did not expect Shen Tan to be so angry.
But I think Qiu Yi's family should be able to handle it!
Thinking this way, Tao Luanxi decided to go to the Youth League branch activity center first to inquire about the whereabouts of his notebook.
In the office, Shen Tan stared at Qiu Yi with a dark face, and tapped the paper on the table with his hand: "Explain it to me!"
Qiu Yi shrugged nonchalantly: "There's nothing to explain. I just made my boyfriend smile, so it was worth it."
The author has something to say: Shen Tan: You are worth it, I am so happy :)
There are many names of campus literati, and I can’t remember them all myself [laughing and crying]. In the future, the identities of unimportant supporting characters will be marked after them, so you don’t have to remember their names!
