The noise on the playground was too loud, and the department head had to come out to ask the class teachers to organize discipline. When Li Qianqian saw the class teacher coming this way, she quickly sneaked back to her seat.

"...My deskmate, what kind of god is your Huo Shu?" He Lei was so stunned that she didn't even bother to eat the gummy in her hand.

Li Qianqian's expression was also quite complicated: "I don't know...actually, if I think about it carefully, it's quite normal." After all, in the future, someone who can compete with the male protagonist, how could his grades be poor?

"That's great. His grades are so good. He must have helped you with your classes a lot, right?" He Lei looked envious, "No wonder you were so calm during the exam. It turned out that you were too busy."

Li Qianqian recalled the scene when she took the initiative to help him make up lessons and disliked him for lying to himself. She was so embarrassed that she buried her face in her legs.

...Was she out of her mind at that time?! How could she think of helping him make up lessons!

"What's wrong with you, deskmate?" He Lei poked her curiously, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"...Hmm." She just wants to shut herself up now.

He Lei frowned: "You were fine just now, why do you suddenly feel uncomfortable? Do you want me to take you to the infirmary?"

"...No, I just need to take a rest." Li Qianqian continued to curl up, having no thoughts of facing the world for the time being.

When He Lei heard what she said, she didn't ask any more questions. The award ceremony on the stage was still going on. She stretched her head and looked at Huo Shu receiving the bonus, and once again made an envious voice: "One exam is only 8,000 yuan.

Ah, eight thousand! It’s more than my living expenses for three years.”

"What's so great? He's still a cripple..." Zhou Xiaoyun muttered from behind.

He Lei glanced sideways at her: "Some people don't care if their grades are not good, but their mouths still stink so much. Didn't they brush their teeth after eating cakes in the morning?"

"You!" Zhou Xiaoyun was angry.

He Lei put her hands on her hips: "What are you, you just said that Huo Shu is rubbish. Have you ever seen the rubbish that ranked first in the grade? You are not rubbish. You have the ability to get into the top ten in the grade and let people see."

"You didn't even get into the top ten, what's there to be proud of?!" Zhou Xiaoyun rolled his eyes at her.

He Lei looked at her with disdain: "I didn't get into the top ten, at least I didn't mock others for being the first."

Zhou Xiaoyun was dumbfounded, and then became angry: "Is it important to be ranked first in the grade? He is just a lunatic who is obsessed with studying!"

Her voice was a bit high when she said this, and many people looked over. Su Yu pulled her, and she calmed down her arrogance.

He Lei sneered: "You are not crazy, then you should pay my deskmate my money. Isn't it fun to pretend to be confused all day long?"

Although Zhou Xiaoyun refused to lend money, he still felt guilty. When He Lei said this, his aura suddenly dropped by half. Although he was still messy, he didn't sound as confident as before.

"Okay, Xiaoyun, stop saying a few words." Su Yu made the rescue in time.

Zhou Xiaoyun then glared at He Lei bitterly, muttered "What's so big about it" and stopped talking. While they were arguing, Li Qianqian calmed down a lot, took a deep breath and looked at the stage, and was caught off guard with Huo Lei.

They looked at each other sparsely.

Li Qianqian stayed still for a second and turned away silently.

Huo Shu on the stage noticed her dodge and frowned slightly.

At the end of the commendation session, several more teachers came on stage to speak, and then ended amidst the chatter of the students. Li Qianqian was moving her stool to return to the classroom, but was pushed by He Lei on the arm.

She paused, looked in the direction indicated by He Lei, and saw Huo Shu standing there with a stool. Her eyes wandered for a moment before she stepped forward with a smile: "What are you doing standing here?"

"Waiting for you." Huo Shu replied.

Li Qianqian paused: "What are you waiting for me to do?"

"Together." Huo Shuxi's words were like gold.

Li Qianqian was still a little embarrassed and didn't really want to go with him. After hesitating for a second, she said, "No, I already agreed with He Lei that we would go back together."

Huo Shu frowned and looked at her, his dark pupils making it difficult to tell what he was thinking. Li Qianqian looked at each other for three seconds before giving up, turned around and waved to He Lei, and waited until she left before looking at Huo Shu: "

Let’s go.”

Huo Shu glanced at her and walked quietly to the teaching building. Li Qianqian was side by side with him, but there was half a meter between them.

She had always talked a lot in front of him before, but today she was so embarrassed that she couldn't hold back a word, so she could only bite the bullet and speed up her pace, hoping to end this difficult journey as soon as possible.

"Are you still angry?" Huo Shu rarely started talking.

Li Qianqian was still trapped in the awkward mood and couldn't extricate herself. After hearing his words, her mind couldn't turn around for a while: "What?"

Huo Shu stopped when he heard this, and Li Qianqian had no choice but to stop too and face him with a forced smile.

"They won't expel me. I can go to school with you," Huo Shu said seriously, "Don't be angry."

Li Qianqian was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant. When she thought that someone was sure that he would not be expelled, but she lost her temper because he didn't reflect properly, her embarrassment suddenly became more intense: "That's...your grades are so good."

Well, they will fire you only if they have a bad brain."

"You're not angry anymore?" Huo Shu confirmed again.

Li Qianqian coughed and tried to save herself: "I wasn't angry to begin with, I was just worried about you."

Huo Shu seemed to accept this statement and moved the stool forward with a calm expression. Li Qianqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief before following him.

The two people walked to the third floor silently, and Huo Shu spoke again: "At noon..."

"I'm here, you go up." Li Qianqian left in a hurry. She said goodbye without hearing what he said clearly. She turned around and entered the class without hesitation. Her back was hurried as if being chased by something. Huo Shu's thin expression

He pursed his lips lightly and stood quietly for a moment before going upstairs.

As soon as Li Qianqian entered the class, many classmates came to ask her about Huo Shu. She braced herself to deal with it, and finally made it to class. She thought she could breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly something even more depressing happened -

"Li Qianqian, what's the matter with you? Do you have a problem with me, so did you do this on purpose?" The class teacher scolded her with a stern expression, "At the end of the first semester of high school, I am still the sixth grader. This time you give me a hundred.

There are so many, how many students are there in total in the sophomore liberal arts major?!"

Li Qianqian was speechless. If the class teacher hadn't brought the paper, she would have thought that the scores were calculated. But when she saw the test paper, she realized that she had made too many mistakes.

"You can make mistakes in math formulas, Chinese, and Chinese. There are also politics, history, and geography. You gave me messy answers. Have you focused on studying during this time?" the head teacher asked.

Li Qianqian knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't talk back and waited for her to finish scolding her.

After the head teacher left, He Lei asked in a low voice: "Why have you regressed so much?" Going from sixth to over 100 is really an exaggeration.

Li Qianqian sighed: "It's all because I'm too confident. I think I won't forget high school knowledge in ten or eight years. I hardly read during this period, and I ended up like this."

"...It's okay. You have a good foundation and your ranking will definitely go up next time," He Lei comforted her, "And being ranked over 100 is pretty impressive. You're in the top 20 in the class."

Li Qianqian is not really seventeen years old after all, and she is not too depressed about this result. But when she thinks about being so different from Huo Shu, she feels... well, she feels a little embarrassed.

The last class ended quickly, and as soon as the school bell rang, she packed her things and prepared to go to dinner with He Lei, but she saw Huo Shu before she even reached the door.

She paused and walked forward: "Why are you here?"

"Let's eat together." Huo Shu looked at her.

Li Qianqian blinked: "I'm not very hungry, why don't you go first."

The air pressure around Huo Shu dropped instantly, and his eyes were as cold as icebergs, and he was breathing cold air. Li Qianqian swallowed her saliva and murmured in a low voice: "I just don't want to go."

"Come here." Huo Shu only said one sentence, then turned and left.

Li Qianqian looked at He Lei in the classroom for help. He Lei immediately raised his hands in surrender: "I won't go with you, his expression is too scary."

Li Qianqian's mouth twitched and she had no choice but to follow him alone.

Huo Shu stopped at the corner at the end of the corridor. When Li Qianqian passed by, he found that all his classmates had gone to eat, and they were the only two here.

"Why are you so awkward?" Huo Shu asked coldly.

Li Qianqian glanced at him guiltily, lowered her head and struggled alone.

"Speak." Huo Shu's voice became colder again.

Li Qianqian heard that he was a little angry, so she didn't dare to deal with it any more, and after muttering for a long time, she choked out: "I feel a little embarrassed."

After the first sentence came out, the rest went smoothly. She looked at Huo Shu with some distress: "I always said that you are a scumbag, are you laughing at me in your heart?"

"No."

"How is it possible?" Li Qianqian snorted, "You didn't even explain it to me and let me misunderstand you, don't you just want to see my joke?"

Huo Shu was silent for a moment: "I explained."

"What did you explain?" Li Qianqian was dissatisfied.

Huo Shu looked into her eyes: "I said I made the exercise book myself."

Li Qianqian: "..." Yes.

The air was quiet for a moment, and Huo Shu spoke again: "You ignore me just because you think I'm laughing at you?"

"...a little bit." Li Qianqian said awkwardly.

Huo Shu looked at her quietly, and after a long time stretched out his hand to her: "I'm not laughing at you."

Li Qianqian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she held his hand for a long time: "Then, you won't laugh at me in the future?"

"No." Huo Shu replied.

Li Qianqian stared at him for a long time, and finally smiled: "Then if you don't laugh at me, I will continue to be friends with you."

"Yeah." Huo Shu's eyebrows finally relaxed.

Li Qianqian's mood finally improved, and she pulled him to the cafeteria. As she walked, she kept talking: "You won so many scholarships today and made such a big splash. You must treat me to dinner."

"good."
