âl havenât really formally studied it,â Bai Lian helped her up and patiently answered the question, âl just moved to my grandfatherâs house,â
Class 15, first period, 8:09.
Lu Lingxi looked at the two boys at the classroom door, annoyed, âZhang
Shize, Weng Qi, you two just have to be a few minutes late every day, right? Youâre in your senior year, as soon as you open your eyes in the morning you should be ready to give it your allâ¦â
Zhang Shize and Weng Qi hung their heads, meekly taking Lu Lingxiâs scolding.
The two of them had stayed up too late playing games last night and couldnât get up in the morning.
As Lu Lingxi was scolding, a clear voice came from behind the two, âTeacher.â Bai Lian had missed a bus, arriving more than half an hour later than usual.
Her uniform looked exceptionally crisp on her, her figure slim, her black pupils reflecting the morning sun, a vocabulary book in her slender, pale hand, her beautiful eyelashes half-lowered, standing obediently beside Zhang Shize and Weng Qi.
Lu Lingxi paused, her fierce eyes immediately softening, âBai Lian, why are you so late?â
Bai Lian lowered her head in admission, âl stayed up too late reading last
âEven though itâs senior year, we need to balance work and rest,â said Lu Lingxi, not doubting for a moment; she knew Bai Lian was serious about memorizing vocabulary and doing practice questions even during break times.
She patted Bai Lian on the shoulder, her voice kind, âDonât stay up too late at night, take care of your rest, come on in.â
Zhang Shize and Weng Qi still standing by the door were dumbfounded.
Then they looked earnestly at Lu Lingxi.
When Lu Lingxi turned her head again to meet their gaze, she scoffed, âWhat, did you two also stay up too late reading?â The two of them:
They certainly didnât have the nerve to say that.
Hidden laughter came from Class 15.
Bai Lian returned to her seat and resumed her usual state, slowly opening her book and completing a period.
During the break, Zhang Shize asked her, âDid you really stay up late reading last night?â
âNo,â Bai Lian flipped open her workbook, casually propping up her right leg, nonchalantly, âl just missed a bus.â
Zhang Shize: â .
He angrily prepared to buy a bottle of iced water to cool down.
The cultural committee member exchanged glances with Pu Xiaohan, following Zhang Shize.
âAs a member of Class 15, shouldnât you contribute something to our class?â
Zhang Shize opened the fridge, without blinking an eye, âBut I canât do anything, at the school anniversary am I supposed to go on stage and play games?â
Xiaohan, standing beside him, slung an arm around the cultural committee memberâs shoulder, pointing at Zhang Shize, âYouâre indeed pretty useless, so we never planned to make you do anything. Youâve only got that face for show; just stand on stage when itâs time and act as our mascot.â
âWhat do you mean Iâm indeed pretty useless? Wouldnât I be useful in the sports meeting?â Zhang Shize grabbed a drink, âIâm really tiedâ¦â
âEnough, shut up!â Xiaohan couldnât stand it any longer, âWhat a good person you are, if only you didnât have a mouth!â
They walked back, with Xiaohan and the cultural committee memberâs criticism all along the way.
Zhang Shize didnât dare to defy the two women.
Quite a few boys stood in the corridor of Class 15.
Many people casually whistled and glanced towards the window.
Zhang Shize went over for a look, and from this angle, he could see Bai Lian. She was bending her head down, calmly pulling out a paper from her desk, lazily uncapping her pen.
He had a sudden inspiration and said to Xiaohan and the committee member, âWhy donât you ask the person who sits in front of me?â
That person would be much more suitable than him to be a mascot.
Just that face alone would be perfect as a front for the class.
âWe are trying hard,â said the cultural committee member, nodding her head,
âXiaohan and I are discussing how to trickâ¦â
Xiaohan quickly cut her off, âHow to convince her to agree to us, Zhang Shize do you have any suggestions?â
Zhang Shize touched his nose, âIâd rather go to Syria.â
Do not be fooled by his desk-mateâs indifferent manner or studious appearance. As the person who sat behind her, he saw very clearly that the model student behavior was only in front of Lu Lingxi.
Want to try with someone from Class 8?
At the end of the last class in the afternoon.
Pu Xiaohan still hadnât found a chance to persuade Bai Lian. Bai Lian listened attentively during class and either did practice questions or memorized vocabulary during breaks, acting just like her desk-mate, Yang Lin.
In the end, she could only watch helplessly as Bai Lian left for tutoring classes.
Todayâs tutoring class was organized into study groups, with the Class 8 homeroom teacher coming over with a USB drive to play a recorded lesson.
âStarting this week, the difficulty of the course will increase,â said the Class 8 homeroom teacher, looking seriously at the group of top students in the lecture hall, âNext week, weâll determine the final selection quota, so the daily grades for these two weeks are very important..â
