“Greetings, Teacher, I’m late.”
Lu Zhanyu’s arrival made the boisterous classroom fall silent immediately, and the English teacher who was supervising the morning study shot him a hostile glance before nodding and signaling him to return to his seat. He quickly picked up his bag and walked to his seat while it became noisy and rowdy in the classroom again.
The bell for the next class rang in a few minutes. As soon as Miss Wang left the classroom, the students put away their books and gathered together to gossip. A few girls went to the washroom together while the boys went to play basketball in the playground in groups.
Xia Wei’an was seated in the last row with an English book in her hand and was reading silently.
Although others were slacking, she couldn’t slack off. She had to seize the time to improve her grade. She had to strengthen the foundation of the subjects that she was good at in order to have more time to improve the subjects that she’s having difficulty with.
While she was immersed in studying, the aroma of steamed buns wafted over, and she couldn’t stop drooling. She put down the book and saw Lu Zhanyu taking out two buns from his bag.
“Come on, have these. These are authentic buns from Chunyu Road!”
Lu Zhanyu offered two buns to Xia Wei’an, who grabbed them and took two bites. After chewing in satisfaction, she asked, “How did you know I wanted to eat buns?”
She wanted to eat buns in the morning, but in order to maintain her ladylike image, she had no choice but to opt for the bird’s nest porridge instead. The buns that Lu Zhanyu handed her were full of fillings and they tasted delicious. They were famous in the capital and many would line up to buy them. At the thought of how rare the buns were because they were often sold out quickly, she took a few more large bites.
“Of course, it’s because someone…”
As soon as Lu Zhanyu answered, he realized that there was something wrong with what he said. Hence, he immediately turned around and said, “Of course, it’s because someone shares a telepathic connection with me!”
He was referring to Xia Wei’an.
“So you were late for school because you went to buy the buns?”
Xia Wei’an was a little touched while Lu Zhanyu nodded with a bitter smile. If not for the fact that he had received a task this morning, he would have still been all snuggled up in bed! He had never attended the night study before.
“Okay, you’re smart, I’ll have your back in school from now on!”
Xia Wei’an patted his back in gratification and immediately added, “In order to repay me, buy me two buns from Chunyu Road every day.”
“Huh?”
Lu Zhanyu asked in disbelief.
“Huh what? I’m doing you a favor by letting you buy buns for me! Come on, tell me how to do these questions.”
She ate the bun while taking out an exercise book from her desk and throwing it onto the top of the table. Judging from the math solutions that he gave her yesterday, she could already tell that he was extremely good at math. Scoring full marks on a test would probably be a piece of cake for him.
‘It’d be a waste not to use a resource like him. From now on, he’ll be my free tutor!’
The two of them chatted and laughed while Xia Tianzhen was filled with disgruntlement. ‘Lu Zhanyu actually bought breakfast for that distasteful and ugly girl. What right does she have?’
The screen of her cellphone lit up and the comments on the campus forum appeared. She had already been harshly criticized, but the worse thing was that she couldn’t even speak up to defend herself. Otherwise, she would have been scolded even more harshly. She had no choice but to stay silent and wait until the mock test at the end of the month. By then, she’d be able to openly oust the ugly girl who was an eyesore!
However, before that, she wouldn’t let Xia Wei’an have a good time. She wouldn’t let her clear her reputation!
