Chapter 33 He's Annoying
Today's morning self-study session was led by Ms. Wen. She emphasized that students should review their lessons carefully to prepare for the monthly exam the day after tomorrow. Of course, if there are any questions about their studies, they should also take the time to ask the teacher.
After morning self-study, Su Nuo caught up with Teacher Wen as she walked out of the classroom, carrying a Chinese language workbook.
Some people exclaimed, "A top student is indeed a top student; they really don't waste a single moment of study time."
Xia Zhen rested her chin on her hand, looking in the direction Su Nuo had left, a mysterious smile on her face.
Immediately afterwards, she looked to the side as if she had sensed something.
The boy was staring at her without moving. Although his expression remained calm as always, his eyes, which were fixed on her, gave off an immense pressure.
Xia Zhen turned her whole body towards him, rested her chin on her hands, blinked ingratiatingly, and stared intently at him, refusing to glance at any other boy.
Is there any girlfriend in the world more obedient than her?
No, absolutely not!
So Lu Jin became the first to admit defeat, and he reached out his hand under the table.
Xia Zhen smiled and immediately offered her hand, which he grasped tightly.
However, annoyingly, Lu Ci showed up again after school today.
Xia Zhen was chatting and laughing with Lu Jin, but when she saw Lu Ci, although she still maintained her smile, the sincerity in her smile was somewhat diminished.
Lu Ci must have just finished his club activities. He was wearing a red jersey and holding clothes in his hands, looking sunny and handsome.
He smiled brightly, "Brother, Senior Xia Zhen, it's nice to see you again."
Lu Jin didn't react much.
Xia Zhen replied with a forced smile, "What a coincidence."
Lu Ci said, "Unfortunately, I also came here specifically to wait for my brother. It's already so late, and Senior Xia Zhen still hasn't gone back. Is she doing this to accommodate my brother?"
Lu Jin said coldly, "She's on duty today."
Xia Zhen glanced at Lu Jin and nodded naturally, "Yes, I'm in charge of classroom cleaning, so I get back late."
Lu Ci smiled, "Oh, I see."
He knew it! How could a sophisticated young lady like her, so high and mighty, possibly treat Lu Jin with a normal attitude after knowing his shameful past?
Even now, she is still pushing Lu Jin's wheelchair, but it's because girls are shy and don't want to make it too obvious.
Lu Ci had met people like this before. Some girls had asked Lu Jin if he needed help because they were full of sympathy. Generally speaking, most people would be deterred by Lu Jin's indifferent attitude. A few people, after learning about Lu Jin's past, would look at him with a different kind of gaze.
However, a cultured person doesn't show off too much, so they will gradually drift away.
"I've troubled Senior Xia Zhen in the past, so it should be my responsibility to take care of my brother."
Xia Zhen took a step forward, blocking Lu Ci from approaching Lu Jin. She pointed to the other side, "But it seems like someone is looking for you over there."
Sure enough, there were several high school boys standing there, Lu Ci's classmates.
"Lu Ci, you're here!"
Several boys walked over, their gazes lingering on Xia Zhen, clearly showing great interest in her.
They had heard that a beautiful girl had come to Class 1 of Senior Three, but they had only seen her from afar before. Now that they were seeing her up close, this girl was even more beautiful than the rumors suggested!
The person in the wheelchair next to her was a bit of an eyesore.
The young boys couldn't help but feel restrained in front of Xia Zhen.
Xia Zhen asked in a generous manner, "You're here to see Lu Ci, right?"
"Yes, we're here to find Lu Ci!"
Her reminder brought the others back to their senses.
Someone asked curiously, "Hey, Lu Ci, our event has been over for so long, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"
Lu Ci's expression faltered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. "I'm too tired today, so I'm too lazy to change."
Actually, he wanted girls to occasionally see a different side of him, which would create different feelings for him. Lu Ci was very confident in his appearance.
Someone else said, "We finally managed to get together with the people from Shengyi Middle School to play games today. Lu Ci, why don't you come join us for some fun?"
Lu Ci did not immediately agree; he still hesitated.
"You don't know how hard it is to get in touch with people from their school, do you?" someone whispered. "If you miss this opportunity, it'll be hard to connect with them again."
For ordinary families like theirs, just being able to establish some connection with those aristocratic children would be more than enough of a benefit.
Lu Ci was an ambitious person. After only a brief moment of consideration, he said to Xia Zhen apologetically, "Senior Xia Zhen, could you please take care of my brother? I made a promise to a friend before, and I can't go back on my word."
Xia Zhen smiled and said, "Okay."
Lu Ci bent down again and said gently to Lu Jin, "Brother, you should thank Senior Xia Zhen properly later, and don't throw a tantrum."
Lu Jin's gaze was so indifferent that it was difficult for anyone to detect the sarcasm in his eyes.
Lu Ci and his group of friends left.
“Zhenzhen”.
Xia Zhen crouched down, looked up at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
He took her hand and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Why are you apologizing to me?
"That person, he's annoying, isn't he?"
Xia Zhen knew who he was talking about, and she didn't deny it, saying directly, "I hate him."
He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting shadows that blurred the emotions hidden within them. His lips twitched slightly as he whispered, "Zhenzhen, just bear with it a little longer."
Xia Zhen tilted her head, finding his words somewhat inexplicable.
The best internet cafe in the city was booked out today by a few wealthy young men.
This was Lu Ci's first time meeting people from Shengyi Middle School. This connection was made possible by the fact that one of his friends was a distant relative of a student at Shengyi Middle School, and that they all liked playing video games.
"Cousin, this is Lu Ci, whom I mentioned to you. His gaming skills are amazing!"
The boy with dyed yellow hair, wearing the school uniform of Shengyi Middle School, glanced at Lu Ci a few times and said to his distant cousin, "Is he reliable? Our boss has very high standards for his teammates."
Lu Ci said, "Whether it's reliable or not, we'll know once we try it."
The blond-haired man scoffed, "Well, you're quite confident."
Lu Ci calmly replied, "I have the ability, and that's why I have confidence."
The blond-haired guy actually had a bit of an opinion of this kid. He walked over to the sofa and said respectfully to the person lounging there, "Boss, a distant cousin of mine recommended this guy. I heard his skills are pretty good. Want to give him a try?"
The person playing on their phone didn't even look up. They leaned back lazily on the sofa and said casually, "Whatever."
Song Heng.
Lu Ci silently recited the name in her heart. Song Heng was the only young master of the Song family. Although he had a younger sister studying abroad, there was no doubt that Song Heng was the heir to the Song family.
If Lu Ci could have Song Heng's connection, things would definitely be much easier for her when she enters society.
The blond-haired man looked at Lu Ci and asked, "Hey, what's your name again?"
Lu Ci stepped forward and said politely with a smile, "My name is Lu Ci."
Song Heng stopped swiping his phone screen, looked up, his dark eyes revealing no emotion, and asked, "Don't you have an older brother named Lu Jin?"
Lu Ci looked surprised. "I do have an older brother named Lu Jin."
How did he know?
