Chapter 102: First in Liberal Arts and First in Science
Lin Zixia didn't expect that Lu Xiangye was so easy to coax.
She thought it would take a lot of effort.
However, although the person was coaxed, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
"Lu Xiangye."
Lin Zixia called him slowly, and Lu Xiangye glanced sideways, "Hmm?"
She folded her arms, leaned on his desk, and looked down at him, "You left the cafeteria on purpose at noon, didn't you? I bought you a drink, and you just turned around and left!"
"I had to hold two bottles of drinks and couldn't even eat!"
Lu Xiangye: Hmmmmmm???
Are we starting to bring up old issues?
He pursed his lips slightly, "I was very angry at that time."
Lin Zixia snorted softly, "I came to see you after school, but you left first!"
Lu Xiangye: "I told Wu You to wait for you."
Lin Zixia: "...Okay."
At least he has some conscience.
Lu Xiangye breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at her puffed-up face, he quickly changed the subject, "Start going to and from school with me tomorrow. It's not safe to go to school too late at night."
Lin Zixia pursed her lips and did not refuse, "Okay."
After a few seconds, she suddenly asked, "If I make you angry again one day, you won't throw me away on the road, right?"
Lu Xiangye narrowed his dark eyes, his voice lazy and casual, "That's hard to say."
He leaned lazily on the chair, deliberately lowered his voice, and said slowly,
"I'll even take you to a remote, dilapidated place full of abandoned buildings or factories. It'll be pitch black, with no sign of human life, and the roadside will be a wasteland."
"You have no signal on your phone, can't get a taxi, and can't find your way. Suddenly, you hear someone calling you. The voice is erratic and distant. You look everywhere, but there's nothing..."
Lu Xiangye looked at Lin Zixia blinking non-stop, his little face tense, as if he had heard it, and the smile in his eyes became even more pronounced.
"You're standing there, and suddenly, someone taps you on the shoulder, and you turn around..."
“Ahhhhh…”
Lin Zixia covered his mouth with his hand, "Stop talking!"
She looked back and felt a little scared.
"What's going on?"
Grandma Lu heard the noise and hurried in.
Lin Zixia's cheeks flushed, and she quickly let go of her hand. "It's nothing, Grandma Lu. I just saw a dead cockroach."
But when she said the three words "dead cockroach", her eyes were looking at Lu Xiangye, and she was gritting her teeth.
Grandma Lu frowned. "Why are there still cockroaches? I'll kill them tomorrow."
Lin Zixia nodded vigorously and said in agreement, "We must kill him thoroughly to prevent him from harming others."
Lu Xiangye raised his eyebrows slightly. Well, he started scolding him again.
Lin Zixia smiled at Grandma Lu, stood up and walked outside, "Then I'll go back first and won't disturb you anymore."
Grandma Lu smiled and said, "Okay, come and play when you have nothing to do."
I also packed a few mangosteens from the living room for her to take home and eat.
Lu Xiangye put his hands in his pockets and followed her slowly in slippers.
When they were out of the door, Lin Zixia turned to look at him, a little puzzled, "Why did you come out?"
Lu Xiangye raised his chin and chuckled, "Relax."
Lin Zixia: "You're sick!"
Lu Xiangye looked at the empty corridor and didn't scare her anymore. "I'll wait for you downstairs at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Come in, I'll watch you."
Lin Zixia nodded, said goodbye to Chen Tianjian, and then opened the door and went in.
Lu Xiangye raised his head and looked at the warm yellow light in the corridor, his dark eyes narrowed.
Just study liberal arts.
We're neighbors anyway.
…
A month later, the first monthly exam after the subject division came.
Lin Zixia knew how important this exam was to her, but she didn't feel nervous at all.
Because she knows that every piece of knowledge she memorizes and every set of papers she does will not let her down.
Those nights when she wrote furiously under the desk lamp, those drowsy afternoons when she relied on apple cider vinegar to stay awake, and the densely packed notes in the textbooks were all her confidence.
Because it was the first exam after the subject division, the school attached great importance to it and the results were posted on the bulletin board downstairs in the teaching building.
After class, Cheng Zhiwei took her to check her grades.
There were circles of people gathered in front of the bulletin board, and everyone was standing on tiptoe to check their grades.
The two of them finally squeezed in, and Lin Zixia looked at the far left side of the bulletin board.
First in science, Lu Xiangye.
It’s still Lu Xiangye.
Lin Zixia curled her lips, but before she could look over there, Cheng Zhiwei grabbed her arm and screamed excitedly, "Xia Xia, first in liberal arts! You are first in liberal arts!"
Lin Zixia was stunned for a moment and looked over.
First in liberal arts, Lin Zixia.
As she looked at these words, she actually thought that Ye Yinghua and Lin Anhong would never have anything to say to each other again.
Her choice was not wrong.
At some point, Lu Xiangye walked over to the girl. He glanced at her soft, fair face and said lazily, "Congratulations, you're first in the liberal arts."
Lin Zixia finally came back to her senses. She looked at him with a smile on her face, "Congratulations, you got first place in science."
Wu You was dumbfounded. "Xiao Xia sister, you are too amazing! Song Zixin is even behind you!"
Lin Zixia then looked down and saw that the second place in liberal arts was Song Zixin.
After returning to the classroom, Lin Zixia just walked to his seat when he saw Song Zixin staring at him with a serious face.
She was a little confused, "What's wrong?"
Song Zixin took a deep breath and said, "Can you lend me your paper?"
Lin Zixia: "Which department?"
Song Zixin: "Every subject."
Lin Zixia was a little skeptical, but still handed the paper to him.
Song Zixin was better than Lin Zixia in every subject. Lin Zixia was the first in the grade in both English and Chinese, and his geography score was about the same as his. He was one point higher in history and five points higher in politics.
He is better than her in math, but not by much.
Song Zixin wailed twice with a look of dejection on her face, "Is there any justice left in the world?"
He had always been suppressed and beaten by Lu Xiangye before. He Yan was also taller than him and had been the third in command for a thousand years.
I thought it would be okay to change my track, so I chose the liberal arts major, but ended up meeting Lin Zixia, which was a crushing blow.
He won't be the runner-up again, right?
Song Zixin looked at their test papers, wanting to cry but unable to. She looked up at Lin Zixia, "You and Brother Lu, aren't you here just to jinx me? You guys are desk mates, sob…"
Lin Zixia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "This is just the first test. There will be many more opportunities in the future."
Song Zixin immediately cheered up, "You're right! My face is so attractive to girls, so my IQ must be pretty good too!"
The corners of Lin Zixia's lips twitched slightly. He had never seen anyone so narcissistic.
Song Zixin returned the paper to Lin Zixia, "I will definitely surpass you next time!"
Lin Zixia smiled and said, "Then I'll wait and see."
…
When the bell rang for the end of evening self-study, Song Zixin was still discussing a geography problem with Lin Zixia.
"Look, the question says the hydrological station is at location A, and the contour lines here are lower than the surrounding areas..."
The two of them were sitting near the corridor. Lu Xiangye walked outside Class 15 with his schoolbag and saw two heads huddled together talking.
Song Zixin was drawing with a pen in her hand, and Lin Zixia was watching very seriously, saying something from time to time. The two of them were very close to each other.
Lu Xiangye narrowed his eyes slightly, moved his fingers, and raised his hand to knock on the window.
Hearing the noise, the two looked up. Seeing it was him, Lin Zixia curled his lips and said, "Wait for me for a moment. I'll leave after I finish this question."
After saying that, she lowered her head again to look at the options.
Lu Xiangye's thin eyelids drooped, and there was a sharpness hidden at the corners of his eyes.
He is very unhappy now.
