BXBX NOVEL Chapter 38: Closer Together
Chapter 38
Zuo Zhiyu and Xu Zhiyi have either prepared themselves to encounter Zuo Zichen, or were caught unprepared by Quan Zhisui.
The two of them are nearly being driven mad!
Quan Zhisui\'s days have actually been going quite well. She learns things step-by-step, and asks questions whenever she has time.
The school sports meet preparations are in full swing, and Zhuge Ying and the class cadres are very busy, so all of Quan Zhisui\'s questions have been thrown to Wei Shixu, increasing their daily interactions significantly.
She wrote extremely smoothly on the Monday quiz!
Teachers\' office at Liangzhong Middle School.
Zhou Chun was called over by the class teacher to have a talk at noon.
"Zhou Chun, your grades have always been among the top of the grade. I thought the slip up on the last quiz was a fluke so I didn\'t call you out, but how could you have scored so poorly on this one as well? You\'ve dropped more than twenty places!" The class teacher spoke with gravity.
"Teacher... I haven\'t been feeling well recently." Zhou Chun said.
The teacher sighed, "The teachers who teach you say that you\'ve been absent-minded in class these past few days. What on earth is going on?"
Zhou Chun pursed her lips, her eyes turning red as she lowered her head.
The teacher felt a little bad about being too harsh with his words, "The teacher is worried about you too. If you\'re not feeling well or if something is going on at home, you can tell me and I will help you."
Zhou Chun nodded, "Mm, I understand teacher."
The teacher patted her shoulder, "Alright, think it over yourself first and head back to the classroom."
Zhou Chun wiped her tears and turned to leave.
"Reporting in!"
At this moment, Zhuge Ying just happened to walk in, carrying a cardboard box in her hands.
Qian Yachong of Class 1 waved her over, "Zhuge Ying, perfect timing! Take the math quiz papers from this morning and hand them back out."
"Sure." Zhuge Ying ignored Zhou Chun and walked over, "Teacher Qian, the class flags and uniforms for the sports meet have been prepared. I\'ve also used class funds to buy some first aid supplies."
"Well done." Qian Ya briefly looked through the box and asked, "I see Quan Zhisui signed up for quite a few events. I hope no one is bullying the new transfer student?"
Every year, barely anyone from Class 1 was willing to participate in the school sports meet. They had to force a few students to sign up at the last minute. But Quan Zhisui\'s name appeared in several columns this time.
Zhuge Ying explained, "Don\'t worry Teacher Qian, Quan Zhisui is very capable!"
"Speaking of this Quan Zhisui..." Qian Ya laughed in amazement, "Her improvement on this quiz was far too great. She went from nearly last place to mid-lower rankings in one go, moving up ten spots."
Zhuge Ying also laughed, "Actually she\'s very smart at studying. She just hadn\'t learned the material on the last quiz."
Qian Ya asked, "I saw that Wei Shixu is tutoring her?"
The teachers had seen the two sitting together doing problems during breaks more than once.
Zhuge Ying nodded, "Wei Shixu is very attentive towards transfer students. He tutors her and even treats her to meals and bubble tea."
She should be sending him gifts next, Zhuge Ying thought to herself.
Qian Ya raised her eyebrows, "Students should help each other like this. Alright, head back to class first!"
Zhuge Ying turned to leave, holding the stack of quizzes.
Zhou Chun subconsciously avoided her and quickly stepped out of the office.
Once the students had left, the office immediately broke into lively chatter.
"Eh, that Wei Shixu kid from your class will tutor other students? Did I hear wrong?"
"I was stunned for a moment too. How miraculous."
"I\'ve seen those two sitting together before!"
"Getting tutored by the top student in the grade, of course her improvement would be fast."
"A male and female student?"
"Female!"
"Haha! Puberty hits!"
"Didn\'t you hear? He even treats her to bubble tea!"
Qian Ya spoke up to interrupt, "Now now, don\'t speculate randomly. They\'re only kids."
The other teachers all chuckled knowingly.
Suddenly someone asked, "Oh? What about Wei Shixu and Zhou Chun? Weren\'t those two always participating in the Model UN together? It\'s been a few terms already right?"
Zhou Chun, who had folded back, suddenly felt her heart race!
She actually hadn\'t gone very far and had folded back to eavesdrop by the door. She heard everything. Now that the teachers were talking about her and Wei Shixu, she was extremely nervous all of a sudden.
She knew the teachers were just gossiping randomly, but she still wanted to know their perspective as adults.
Unexpectedly, the teachers did not dwell on her and Wei Shixu at all.
Qian Ya casually said, "Wei Shixu is not participating in Model UN this time."
The other teachers were not very surprised, just regretful.
"What a shame, he would definitely have won awards if he went."
"Whether he goes or not is his own decision. Who dares try to influence his thoughts?"
"With his family background, he doesn\'t need to care about participating in competitions and such. Getting into a good university is just for face anyway. His grandfather is Wei Jingsan!"
"Indeed, being a top student is just icing on the cake compared to Wei Shixu\'s identity as the eldest grandchild of the Wei family..."
Zhou Chun\'s face was pale white, her heart nearly shattered.
Not only did Wei Shixu block her, he even directly refused to participate in Model UN?
She didn\'t even know about this!
No one cared whether she and Wei Shixu were well-matched or not. The teachers gossiped more about Quan Zhisui than her!
She had dropped twenty some places on this quiz, while Quan Zhisui improved by ten spots!
The evil seeds in Zhou Chun\'s heart began sprouting. She couldn\'t endure it anymore, she didn\'t want to keep waiting either.
...
Zhuge Ying returned to the classroom, hugging the stack of quizzes to hand back out. When she got to Quan Zhisui\'s desk, she also pulled out Wei Shixu\'s perfect score quiz.
Wei Shixu happened to be sitting next to Quan Zhisui right now!
He had even moved Kong Mingze\'s stool over!
Seeing the perfect score, Quan Zhisui was extremely envious, "You got full marks again."
Wei Shixu turned to look at her, very close, "Does it look nice?"
Quan Zhisui nodded, "It looks really nice."
There wasn\'t a single extraneous stroke on this quiz. It was simple, clear, neat and tidy. The quiz paper looked so nice that even the teacher was reluctant to mark it up in red.
Wei Shixu pressed his hand over the quiz and made her look at him, "I\'m asking if you think I look nice."
Quan Zhisui raised her eyes and was met with his deep, profound eyes looking back at her intently. In the dim light, they seemed to contain a gentle glow.
She was calm, and nodded, "You do look nice too."
Why else would he be the unanimously acknowledged school hunk?
Wei Shixu silently looked at her. Her reaction...
Quan Zhisui had already turned back to the quiz, carefully comparing and taking notes.
Over these days, she and the normal Wei Shixu truly built a better relationship. Quan Zhisui could converse with him easily, they were both smart.
He was also very handsome, with different styles of handsomeness depending on his state.
People naturally appreciate beauty. They would look more at those with high looks.
But...
His gaze was murky, shrouded in gloom. It was full of bloodiness and evil, like an evil ghost crawling out from the deepest dungeon!
Perhaps he had a complex past, or perhaps he was born this way.
But so what?
Quan Zhisui did not like people with chaotic energy fields.
At some point, Zhuge Ying had looped back around. She tossed the single digit score quizzes onto Kong Mingze\'s desk and glanced out the corner of her eye at the two sitting shoulder-to-shoulder beside her.
With a look of disgust, she spoke, "Disgusting."
Kong Mingze, who had just entered, called out in injury, "I got nine points, how is that disgusting? I used to get zero points! I\'ve improved!"
Zhuge Ying glanced at him and walked away.
