Accident
On the day of the opening exam, everyone was assigned to different examination rooms, making it inconvenient for them to eat together. This time, during lunch, Lin Yue took the initiative to invite Shen Anyan to eat together.
Shen Anyan politely declined, "Don't bother, I'm used to eating alone."
Lin Yue obviously disagreed: "What's the use of it? Eating alone is so pathetic. Are you worried that I'll bring other strangers along and it'll be awkward? Don't worry about that! It's just the two of us, plus Li Xinran from the next class, who you know!"
People of this era obviously like to do everything in twos and threes. Their ideas are different, and Shen Anyan doesn't intend to force it.
She had to find another excuse: "Well, actually I wanted to go find Gu Cijiang."
Lin Yue understood now. She said "Oh" meaningfully and waved her hand with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go find Xinran. Bye!"
Shen Anyan said goodbye to the other party, packed up his things and went to the cafeteria to eat.
She said that she wanted to be with Gu Cijiang just as an excuse, but maybe the school was a weird place. After dinner, she happened to see Gu Cijiang who was also alone.
The other party also saw her, but obviously pretended not to see her. Shen Anyan would never give him this opportunity. She walked forward quickly and used the same trick.
"Classmate Gu, what a coincidence, do you want to have dinner together?"
Gu Cijiang: ...
Before the other party could find an excuse to refuse, Shen Anyan sighed seriously: "You know, I just arrived and I can't find anyone to accompany me..."
Gu Cijiang couldn't help but retort: "I see you are quite popular in your class, aren't you?"
Chen Anyan lied with his eyes wide open: "Hey, that's just on the surface. We are all respectable people, so we must be friendly for the sake of appearance. But they all have their own partners, and no one is willing to take me in..."
Gu Cijiang sighed and resigned himself to letting the other person be with him.
Shen Anyan happily finished lunch with the other party. When they parted, Gu Cijiang asked in confusion: "The dormitory is over there, why are you going to the teaching building?"
Shen Anyan explained: "Oh, I'm a day student and don't live on campus, so the school didn't assign me a dormitory."
Gu Cijiang asked: "Are you going to rest in the classroom? It's not as comfortable as the dormitory."
Shen Anyan was about to say it was nothing, after all, she could tolerate renting a room, and the classroom had air conditioning, making it even cooler than the room she rented. But then she thought again, this seemed like a good opportunity to build a closer relationship with the other party. So she revealed a slightly appropriate look of sadness and whispered, "My family is poor and I can't afford the accommodation."
The inexperienced Gu Cijiang obviously couldn't tell that the other party was acting. He was slightly startled and suddenly remembered what the teachers said this morning, "the family situation is special." Is that really the case?
Gu Cijiang couldn't help but ask: "Are you short of money? I can lend you some."
Shen Anyan: ...
She obviously hadn't expected this to happen, but considering the other person's personality, it didn't seem surprising. Shen Anyan coughed lightly and said sincerely, "Thank you, but no, it's not that difficult yet. I can do it on my own."
Gu Cijiang hummed a "hmm" and didn't force it. He realized that he had been a little impulsive. People like Shen Anyan were generally quite strong-willed and would not be willing to accept help from others casually, especially material help.
This was truly a beautiful misunderstanding. If Shen Anyan had heard this, she would have felt ashamed. After all, she wasn't a person of integrity. Before she traveled through time, she had been quite self-righteous in her dependence on her parents. Even after traveling through time, if circumstances hadn't allowed, she would have continued to go back home and ask her biological mother and sister for living expenses.
Shen Anyan thought for a moment and reminded: "Also, don't lend money to others casually. What if you get cheated?"
Gu Cijiang said: "You are not someone else."
Shen Anyan was happy again after hearing this: "Really?"
Gu Cijiang's point was that they were classmates after all, and it wasn't right to cheat someone out of their money. But it seemed the other party must have misunderstood. For some reason, he didn't want to correct the misunderstanding, so he didn't say anything more.

In the next few days, Shen Anyan studied in class with his classmates and chatted after class. He lived a very comfortable life.
She'd gotten to know most of the teachers these days. It was a key class, after all, and while the teachers had different personalities, they were all dedicated and responsible. With the exception of the history teacher, who was a relative of her own, of course. Even the English teacher, whose reputation was so difficult to describe, was incredibly dedicated.
As for why the English teacher was so difficult to explain, Shen Anyan almost understood after listening to a few of his classes.
This teacher wasn't a bad person, but she had low emotional intelligence. She also wanted to connect with her classmates, so she adopted the meme method. Unfortunately, she wasn't as relaxed and natural as the math teacher, nor as up-to-date as the politics teacher, so the results were often unsatisfactory.
For example, it became popular on the Internet to call each other "Jimei" recently, but she was still calling them "sisters and brothers". After "Jimei" passed and "family members, who understands" became popular, she started calling everyone "Jimei Jimei" again.
Therefore, despite her persistent efforts to create a humorous and witty personality, it had no other effect except making her classmates so embarrassed that they tapped their toes on the ground.
But she was nice to Shen Anyan. After all, no teacher would hate a student with good grades.
Besides studying, during meals, Shen An would always call Gu Cijiang and his teacher to eat together. As a result, Gu Cijiang became accustomed to his "coincidences." After the last class in the morning, if his teacher stayed after class, he would wait for him to finish class and then go to the cafeteria together.
Lin Yue and He Qingtian teased her several times about this.
Half a month later, the tutoring situation was finally settled. Thanks to her original body, after all, getting first place in the city's high school entrance exam was a very impressive result, and many parents offered her olive branches.
Shen Anyan picked and chose, and finally selected two recruitments.
One of them was a student in the third year of junior high school, and the price was good. Shen Anyan went to the other party's home to take a lesson. The other party was a sensible and studious girl. The two of them got along very well, and she was a stable partner suitable for long-term development.
Because the little girl was staying at the school, Shen Anyan agreed with her parents to come for tutoring for two days every weekend. The time was set by the other party, and she would be informed of the agreed class time in advance on Friday.
As for the other one, it was much simpler and more crude. Shen Anyan made the decision without even meeting the person. The reason was simple: the other party offered more money.
Both parties agreed to give a trial lesson this weekend to see the results.

After evening study that day, Shen Anyan carried his schoolbag and headed home as usual. The study session ended at 8:00 PM, and by the time he left, it was already pitch dark. As Shen Anyan walked toward the school gate, he fumbled in his pocket for his day pass.
Perhaps it was true that wealth should not be exposed, even though a school ID card was not considered a fortune. But when Shen Anyan took it out, a dark figure suddenly jumped out from her side, and then the ID card disappeared from her hand.
Shen Anyan: ...
Nowadays, people are robbing students for their day passes?
The Sanda she had practiced since she was a child was not in vain. Shen Anyan reacted quickly, grabbing the "robber" before he left the school gate, and then holding him with a smooth backhand lock.
"Ouch! It hurts! Be gentle, classmate!"
The boy opposite was obviously not a tough guy. When he was caught, he surrendered and begged for mercy.
Shen Anyan took back his day pass and finally had time to look at the other person.
...It's quite nice.
This was her first thought.
Although the boy opposite was grinning and did something shameful like robbery when they first met, his good-looking face made up for the previous shortcomings.
The other person had a well-proportioned and slender figure, and her face was even more gorgeous and delicate. Her skin was fair and clear, her peach blossom eyes were sparkling and affectionate, her nose was high and straight, and her lips were beautiful. She was as beautiful as a mountain ghost.
For the sake of face, Shen Anyan's attitude improved a little. She asked: "Why did you steal other people's things?"
The boy scratched his head and replied a little embarrassedly: "My friend asked me to go out, but the teacher didn't agree to my request for leave, so I thought of stealing someone's day pass and sneaking out."
Shen Anyan: ...
She sighed and said speechlessly, "You have the guts to steal things, but you don't have the guts to sneak out when the security guard isn't paying attention?"
The boy suddenly realized: "That's right, why didn't I think of that? You are so smart, classmate!"
Chen Anyan: This guy doesn't seem very smart...
Maybe all his IQ points were put into his looks. Shen Anyan complained in his heart.
She said, "Okay, let's do this. I'll go out and find a place where the security guards can't see me and throw the school pass in for you..."
She looked around and chose a corner with a large banyan tree. "That's it. Wait about ten minutes. Then come back the next day and return it to me."
The boy was delighted to hear this and thanked him cheerfully: "Thanks, brother... oh no, classmate. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
Shen Anyan replied, "You're welcome," and left the school with her day pass. She followed her instructions and walked to the big banyan tree, calling out, "Are you there?"
A familiar voice sounded from behind the wall: "Yes!"
Shen Anyan raised his school pass and threw it inside with force.
Applause erupted from behind the wall, and the boy smiled and said, "That was a great catch! Thank you, classmate!"

"Oh, my little feast, what delicacies did you bring today?"
Shen Anyan came to the class the next morning, and as soon as he entered the door, Lin Yue couldn't wait to shout.
Chen Anyan opened his schoolbag and listed the dishes one by one: "There are steamed buns with green vegetables and mushrooms, braised pork with preserved vegetables, and pumpkin and red bean fillings. There are also beef patties and chicken patties. I brought five servings of pancakes."
Lin Yue shouted, "Hurry, hurry, I want some pancakes! As expected, the early bird catches the worm!"
He Qingtian also came over: "Same as always, I want two beef patties."
The neighboring table said, "I want three buns stuffed with vegetables and mushrooms!"
Lin Yue laughed and said, "Chen Shan, how come you eat buns with this filling every day? Don't you get tired of it?"
Chen Shan, who was sitting at the next table, frowned and complained, "I want to eat pie or meat buns, but my stomach is so broken. If I eat anything oily for breakfast, I'm sure I'll get diarrhea. But this won't."
He Qingtian gently reminded: "Let's not talk about the toilet yet while we eat."
Everyone gathered together and ordered their favorite breakfast. In the middle of the meal, Jiang Xiaosong and Li Xinran from the next class also came over to have a meal. They were on good terms with Shen Anyan and knew that she would bring breakfast every morning, so they asked her to bring their portion as well.
After distributing breakfast, Shen Anyan was about to take out his textbook for morning reading when he heard a sudden commotion around him.
"Oh my god, look, there's a handsome guy!"
"Who is this?"
"I don't know him."
"She's so pretty, isn't she?"
…
Shen Anyan felt something and looked towards the front door. Sure enough, it was the boy who lent her the day pass last night.
The other person looked around at the door, and soon met Shen Anyan's eyes, with a bright smile on his face.
He strode over and returned the school pass to the other person, saying, "It's back to you. Thank you for the feast."
Shen Anyan said: "You're welcome."
He explained quietly, "I was in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to tell you my name. My name is Lu Zhou, Lu means continent, and Zhou means boat that can float on water."
Shen Anyan said “hmm”.
Lu Zhou noticed the breakfast on the other person's table, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "So much food? Can you finish it? If not, can you give me some? I was in a hurry to get to school this morning and didn't have time to buy breakfast."
...This person is really rude.
Shen Anyan pushed the breakfast in the other party's direction: "I've eaten, you can take whatever you want."
Lu Zhou chuckled twice. He looked even more handsome when he laughed, his peach blossom eyes reflecting the gentle, clear water of spring.
"Thank you, thank you. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
Shen Anyan said: "Oh, so you already owe me two meals."
Lu Zhou touched his nose and said, "I'm a man of my words. If I say I'll treat you, I'll definitely treat you. Doing it another time is definitely not an excuse!"
Chen Anyan was just joking and had no intention of getting serious with the other party. Hearing what he said, he agreed with him and said "Okay".
After Lu Zhou left, the people around him and around him finally stopped holding back and came over to gossip.
Lin Yue teased: "First one is Gu Cijiang, and then Lu Zhou. Xiaoyan, you are so lucky in love!"
Chen Shan also asked curiously: "He is really good-looking, even more handsome than those male celebrities in the entertainment industry! How come I never noticed that there is such a person in our grade before!"
Shen Anyan explained: “We just happened to meet yesterday, Lin Yue, don’t talk nonsense.”
Lin Yue replied with a smile, "Okay", but whether he listened to it or not is another matter.
