Chapter 10...it's like he's become a completely different person.
Qi Lin, having finished shopping, walked over, stopped beside him, and frowned as she glanced at him.
"What are you doing standing here blocking the way, playing the role of a waiting-for-husband stone?"
It's unclear what made Zhou Yanyao laugh, but he burst into laughter, shaking with mirth and clutching his stomach, only managing to catch his breath after a long while.
"Qi Lin, you're absolutely right. I really am a 'waiting-for-husband stone,' without a doubt."
Qi Lin looked at him like he was an idiot: "Are you crazy?"
"No, I'm perfectly fine now."
Qi Lin astutely deduced something: "Who did you just run into?"
Zhou Yanyao: "Guess."
"It wasn't that person you fell in love with at first sight this morning, was it?"
Although it was a question, Qi Lin's tone was basically certain.
Zhou Yanyao did not refute. He scratched his head, as if he had remembered something, and a blush gradually appeared on his face.
Qi Lin couldn't help but laugh: "We've only known each other for less than a day, is it really necessary for you to make such a fuss?"
Zhou Yanyao: "There's no way around it, she's just too cute."
His heartbeat was truly beyond his control.
"You have no idea how wonderful she is. She's incredibly polite, and the way she says thank you to me is so touching..."
Qi Lin had no interest in his good friend's love troubles and was too lazy to listen to his pointless ramblings.
"Take it easy these days, and pay close attention to anything unusual around you," Qi Lin warned. "I have a feeling that something big is going to happen sooner or later."
Zhou Yanyao's expression turned serious. Not only Qi Lin, but he himself sometimes had this feeling: "I will pay attention."
Before they could even get a few sentences off-topic, Zhou Yanyao's conversation started veering off-topic again: "You don't know, when she took the thing I handed her..."
As if struck by a sudden thought, Zhou Yanyao let out a mournful wail.
"Oh no! I still didn't get her contact information! I didn't even get her name!"
With his ears filled with the noise of his best buddies, and his mind solely focused on his studies and career, Qi Lin, who had absolutely no interest in romance, was utterly speechless: "..."
Ha, hopelessly in love.
That's enough.
If he were here, he would absolutely never have turned into this horrible state.
...
Ning Wanwan jogged back to class, catching her breath, and sat back down in her seat before the teacher entered the classroom.
"Where's my nail trimmer?" Lin Ruowei asked, turning her head.
Ning Wanwan handed her the small bag containing the nail clippers.
Lin Ruowei glanced at it a few times, then showed a slightly satisfied expression: "It'll do for now."
Whether it was because she helped buy things or because she didn't go up to say anything unnecessary, Lin Ruowei's attitude seemed to have improved.
"Thanks for your hard work."
If it were the original owner, she might have been overjoyed, but Ning Wanwan only felt a little awkward and didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, Lin Ruowei didn't wait for her reply and turned back to start slowly trimming her nails right under the teacher's nose.
Ning Wanwan let out a soft breath, lowered her head, opened her textbook, and began to read attentively.
Although I probably won't be taking these exams in the future... I'll still learn something since I have nothing else to do.
Zhao Rui, sitting next to her, was sleeping at his desk without any restraint, making no attempt to hide it. The teacher frowned and stared at him for a while, but then stopped paying attention.
After all, the Zhao family is indeed wealthy and has relatives with the principal, which helped them smooth things over.
Of course, after the world underwent a dramatic change, because the Zhao family had offended the male protagonist, no matter how arrogant they had been before, they soon fell into ruin and disappeared without a trace...
If you're an enemy of the male lead, you might be able to fight until the very end if you're a major villain. But if you're just cannon fodder, forget about it; you won't even be able to exchange a few blows with the male lead.
However, Ning Wanwan admitted that she didn't have the guts or the ability to "spar" with the male lead.
"Are you looking at me?" Zhao Rui, who was dozing off, suddenly asked.
Ning Wanwan was caught off guard and startled, feeling that her heart had been under too much pressure since she arrived here.
Why do all these people always insist on talking to her when she's engrossed in her own world?
"You're looking at me." Zhao Rui said confidently before Ning Wanwan could answer.
Ning Wanwan glanced at the teacher on the podium, but the teacher didn't notice her, so she looked away and shook her head slightly at Zhao Rui, puzzled: "No."
Zhao Rui saw her actions as a sign of guilt.
Zhao Rui had always known that Ning Wanwan, who was vain, loved money, and always tried to curry favor with him, really wanted to get close to him.
However, because he had been pursuing Lin Ruowei and looked down on her, she didn't dare to do anything else, such as confessing her feelings.
Lin Ruowei probably knew Ning Wanwan's little scheme, but she probably didn't take her seriously.
After all, in their eyes, Ning Wanwan, a nobody with no family background and no backbone, is just a joke, and it's not bad to amuse her occasionally.
However, at this moment, Zhao Rui suddenly changed his mind.
The Zhao family and the Lin family have cooperated a lot. Lin Ruowei has known him for a long time and they are considered friends, but she has always maintained an attitude of neither rejecting nor accepting his pursuit.
Zhao Rui didn't give up immediately. He could tell that Lin Ruowei was trying to find a better marriage partner by stringing him along. He was also a rich second-generation, so he could understand Lin Ruowei's thoughts. After all, everyone looks out for themselves.
Moreover, he did gain something in the process of pursuing her.
But as time went on, I eventually got a little annoyed.
Moreover, I recently heard that the Lin family intends to make connections with the Jiang family.
If he could use Ning Wanwan, Lin Ruowei's little follower, to express his dissatisfaction with Lin Ruowei and the Lin family, he might even be able to provoke Lin Ruowei into agreeing to his pursuit...
Thinking about this, Zhao Rui felt the idea was even better and couldn't wait any longer.
"Ning Wanwan." Since they were in class, Zhao Rui didn't intend to be too presumptuous, so he called out in a low voice.
Ning Wanwan turned her head to the side, but her gaze did not fall on him, as if asking what was wrong.
The girl's eyes were clear and calm, and her pretty face showed a hint of confusion. Zhao Rui, who had always looked down on her, actually found her somewhat cute.
Nevertheless, his long-standing stereotypes and contempt for Ning Wanwan made him impatient to approach her gradually.
Ning Wanwan, who had initially thought Zhao Rui was just looking for trouble, suddenly felt a warm breath blowing against her ear.
"I just realized, you don't seem to look quite..."
Ughhhhhh! He leaned so close! Why did he have to get so close?! And why did he speak in such a disgusting tone?!
Ning Wanwan's mind went blank. She suddenly stood up and instinctively pushed with all her might. Because of the force and movement, she almost overturned the table.
However, her condition is relatively good.
Because Zhao Rui never expected her to push him like that in class, he fell to the ground, and his desk and chair also overturned with a crash!
With such a commotion, almost everyone in the class turned to look.
Feeling humiliated, Zhao Rui was furious. He stood up, leaning against the wall, and reached out to grab Ning Wanwan: "You dare to dodge!"
However, because Ning Wanwan had suddenly stood up and bumped her nose, as soon as he stood up, blood started flowing from his nose...
The whole class: "..." Oh, this.
Zhao Rui, who was being watched by the whole class, was even angrier, with a hint of shame mixed in with his anger.
The faint sound of laughter from classmates could be heard. If it weren't for the fear of Zhao Rui and his cronies causing trouble, the whole class would probably have burst into laughter long ago.
"Who dares to laugh!" Zhao Rui's face twisted as he wiped the blood from his nose. The underling sitting in the next row, suppressing his laughter, handed him a tissue, looking rather smug.
The teacher quickly tapped the podium to signal for quiet and said to Ning Wanwan, "Ning Wanwan, why did you have to stand outside as punishment?"
Ning Wanwan stood there looking bewildered and pitiful. The teacher, fearing she might be beaten by the ill-tempered Zhao Rui, quickly waved for her to go outside to avoid the situation.
After all, if Zhao Rui really held a grudge, what he did in private would be beyond the control of an ordinary teacher with little influence.
Ning Wanwan didn't want to stay under Zhao Rui's murderous gaze any longer, so she quickly left the classroom, then remembered that she hadn't brought her textbooks, so she went back to get them.
Zhao Rui, waiting for his younger brother to help him lift the table, looked on with disbelief: "You're still thinking about taking your textbooks?"
You've already offended him like this, instead of thinking about how to appease him and make him feel better, you still have the mind to come back and get those damn textbooks!
Zhao Rui was starting to suspect that Ning Wanwan was deliberately provoking him.
“Uh…” Ning Wanwan replied softly, “It’s class time now…”
So when Zhao Rui picked up the textbook, he was incredulous and looked at her with a strange expression, even his anger subsided.
"...It's like you've become a completely different person." He looked her up and down, frowning as he uttered this sentence.
