Soon, everyone could vaguely sense the changes in Class 4 of the third year of high school. It wasn't just the students in the class; even the whole school could feel it. The two notorious bullies in Class 4 had become much more well-behaved recently...
Even though Zhou Zihang still has no chance of "loving to study", at least he hasn't caused any trouble. As for his previous entanglement with Chen Siyue, the two have almost completely cut off contact now.
Even Nguyen Thanh An's bold declarations of love have not resurfaced.
For a moment, they couldn't help but gossip, but because of their past authority, no one dared to say anything.
...
After class, in the teachers' office.
Teacher Wei was looking at Ruan Qing'an with a serious expression. He said earnestly, "Ruan Qing'an, you have changed a lot recently."
“I was almost about to give up hope on you, Ruan Qingan, because many teachers didn’t want to deal with you anymore. But now it seems that you’ve stopped causing trouble and running around aimlessly. I’m very pleased with this change in you.”
“If you really want to change, then you should work on improving your grades, Ruan Qingan. I know your family is well-off, but you can’t rely on them forever.”
"Study hard so you can help with the family business in the future. What will you do if you don't know anything?"
Listening to Teacher Wei's earnest and persuasive words, Ruan Qing'an remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I know, Teacher Wei, I also want to sprint for a while before the college entrance examination."
"That's great. It's never too late to learn as long as you're willing to. Now that you understand this, you can start working hard."
Teacher Wei paused, then smiled and said, "I'm very happy."
Just as Ruan Qing'an was about to speak, there was a knock on the office door, and Lu Ke appeared in the doorway.
He kept his head down. He was already quite aloof and didn't like to talk much. At this moment, he seemed a little helpless. When Teacher Wei and Ruan Qing'an in the office were looking at him, Lu Ke became even more speechless. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened his mouth stammeringly.
"Um, that..."
“Teacher Wei, Ruan… Ruan Qingan said before…”
He tugged at his sleeve and said cautiously, "Didn't she say I could tutor her? I happen to have some free time lately... I'm pretty well-rounded in all subjects, so I can..."
Hearing Lu Ke's stammering words, Teacher Wei finally understood and asked in return, "But this will also delay your studies."
No, it won't.
Lu Ke quickly replied, "Teaching and learning go hand in hand, Teacher Wei. When I tutor Ruan Qing'an, it also helps me consolidate my knowledge."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Wei looked at Lu Ke's insistent expression and then at Ruan Qing'an, who remained silent and showed no intention of refuting him. He sighed and said, "Alright, you have your own plans."
After leaving Teacher Wei's office, Ruan Qing'an and Lu Ke left the office together. They walked side by side in the corridor, surrounded by the noise.
Ruan Qingan glanced at Lu Ke, who had his head down.
She suddenly asked, "Why did you agree?"
"Helping, helping my classmate, is what I... should do."
Lu Ke spoke softly, and if it weren't for Ruan Qing'an's sharp ears, she probably wouldn't have heard his reply, which was barely audible amidst the noise.
Knowing Lu Ke's feelings for the original owner in the original story, Ruan Qing'an wasn't particularly surprised. After hearing this high-sounding answer, she remained silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly—
Just before I was about to enter the classroom.
She glanced at the person beside her: "See you this weekend, Lu Ke."
Lu Ke froze on the spot after being glanced at, until Ruan Qing'an had already sat back down and the class bell rang. Only then did he finally react, thinking of the girl he had a crush on, and felt very happy.
...
The weekend arrived quickly.
Ruan Qing'an and Lu Ke arranged to meet at his home. After all, Lu Ke's parents, knowing Ruan Qing'an's previous reputation, were not entirely comfortable with Lu Ke going to her home as a guest—they weren't afraid of Ruan Qing'an getting into trouble, but they were worried that their taciturn son would be beaten.
Ruan Qing'an knew that after class on Saturday afternoon, she went directly to Lu Ke's house as a guest.
"Keke is back. I cut some fruit for you. Come on over."
"Um...you're Ruan Qing'an?"
When Mrs. Lu came to open the door, she had a friendly smile on her face. However, her smile faded a bit when she saw Ruan Qing'an. She glanced at the girl standing at the door, dressed neatly in her school uniform, and her sense of rejection lessened slightly. She nodded in acknowledgment.
Ruan Qingan greeted her politely, "Hello, Auntie."
"Hello, please come in and have a seat."
Mrs. Lu nodded and made way for him.
After sitting down in the living room, Mrs. Lu brought out fruit platters and other dishes. Although she was still somewhat reluctant, she remained hospitable and said to Ruan Qing'an, "I heard you're here for tutoring?"
"Yes, Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you."
Ruan Qingan sat upright and obediently, answering politely.
Lu's mother originally thought that she would be a carefree, unruly delinquent girl who smokes, drinks, and wears earrings and nose rings, but she didn't expect that she would be so decent-looking today.
After eating the fruit platter and chatting for a while at the dinner table, Lu's parents finally changed their opinion of Ruan Qing'an, the notorious school bully, and reluctantly believed that she had indeed reformed...
It wasn't until after dinner that Lu's mother poured them water and urged Lu Ke and Ruan Qing'an to go back to their rooms to study.
When Ruan Qing'an entered Lu Ke's room, she couldn't help but pause. The room was fairly clean, but there were many photos of singers on the walls, a guitar in the corner, and even a few scribbled melodies on the desk.
Lu Ke, who was following behind, immediately reacted and subconsciously wanted to step forward, but at this moment Ruan Qing'an spoke up—
"You really like music?"
"No, no..."
Lu Ke stepped forward somewhat embarrassedly and put away the papers: "It was just something I played around with, nothing serious..."
Seeing this, Ruan Qing'an didn't say anything more, and Lu Ke quickly hid everything in the drawer. If it weren't for the inconvenience, judging from his embarrassed appearance, he would have liked to tear down all the posters on the wall as well.
After Lu Ke finished collecting the items, they sat down at the desk.
Lu Ke opened the book: "Shall I start by making up for your deficiencies from the basics?"
"Okay, it's up to you."
Nguyen Thanh An nodded.
Although she was a sophomore in college before she transmigrated, she had excellent grades in high school. Ruan Qing'an had indeed forgotten a lot, but she still had the basics. After reading for a few days, she could recall most of it.
Therefore, having Lu Ke tutor her was not Ruan Qing'an's main purpose; she simply wanted to use this opportunity to change her public image.
Most importantly—
I can also have a quiet chat with Lu Ke for a few minutes.
During a break in Lu Ke's lecture, he paused to drink some water, seemingly also feeling parched. He said, "That's great, Sister Ruan. You learn very quickly; you're already very impressive."
'Because I'm not the original owner of this body...'
Ruan Qing'an sighed inwardly, looked at Lu Ke, and suddenly asked, "Lu Ke, do you like me?"
The next moment, Lu Ke, who was drinking water, stopped.
He froze on the spot, caught off guard by this direct attack, and didn't even know where to look.
