Chapter Thirty: Zhou Xiaoming

  "Xiao Si, don't you think that He Laoshi was so angry today, and in a fit of rage gave us such a heavy assignment?" Shu Ye said while elegantly eating her lunch and discussing with the top student girl next to her about Jie Tou Ge's performance in class today.

  "It shouldn't be, right? He Laoshi isn't that kind of person. At the beginning of the semester, didn't he say that this semester is very important for us? It's understandable to have a heavier workload, let alone Tang Minghuang's problem, which doesn't even count as a problem, it's just nitpicking." The top student put down her chopsticks and smoothed out her bangs with her left pinky finger, speaking in a rational tone.

  "Actually, I think Tang is quite powerful. Among the whole class, only he has the courage to confront 'Glasses' head-on."

  "It's because of your personality!" The excellent girl said calmly.

  "Xiaosi, I've noticed that among the boys, you only care about Cheng A's topics and ignore all the others. You don't really like him, do you?" Shu Ye asked weakly.

  "It's nothing! Hurry up and eat." The excellent student said as she buried her head in the bowl, no one had ever seen whether her expression was joyful or worried.

  "May I sit here?" Just as Jingyou and Shuye were eating with their heads down, a clear and loud voice sounded in their ears.

  "Hmm... okay, okay..." Shu Ye looked up to see a face that was majestic and radiant, with bright eyes and a vigorous aura. One word: "handsome", two words: "very handsome", three words: "still handsome". Seeing such a handsome guy hitting on her, Shu Ye's tongue had already become tangled...

  "Thank you!"

  "Don't be polite, there's no one here anyway." Shu Ye said.

  The whole time, the excellent student girl just glanced lightly and continued eating with her head down, without joy or sorrow.

  Shu Ye, who was sitting next to him, ate even more slowly than usual... and became even more ladylike...

  "Are you also first years?" The handsome guy started chatting me up

  "Really? You too?" Shu Ye asked casually

  "Hello! I'm Zhou Xiaoming, a new transfer student in first year of high school. Nice to meet you all!" The handsome boy began his self-introduction.

  "We are from Class 1(2), I'm Shu Ye, comfortable Shu, leaf of the tree. She is Xiao Si, my best friend. We're also happy to meet you." Shu Ye actively introduced herself, even taking care of the honor student's part.

  "Haha! It seems like Xiao Si isn't very welcoming of me?" said Zhou Xiaoming with a self-mocking tone.

  "Just call me Zhu Si, I'm not used to strangers calling me Xiao Si." The excellent student said and ignored the handsome boy's embarrassment, continuing to eat her mantou as if what just happened was a trivial matter.

  Heaven knows how much the handsome guy was hurt by her one sentence! I guarantee, as the author, that this is definitely the first time the handsome guy Zhou Xiaoming has been rejected so coldly when hitting on someone (actually, it was Zhou Xiaoming himself who told me about this later), from start to finish she just used one sentence to reject him outright.

  "Hehe! Don't mind, Xiaosi is just like that, people who know her well know she's a good person." Shuyehurryingly mediated, fearing that the handsome man would leave in anger and she would miss an opportunity to admire him up close.

  "I also wish I could be one of those 'familiar people'. Zhou Shuai didn't leave with a sullen face despite the excellent girl's cold treatment, and instead still had a smiling expression, as if the excellent girl was rejecting someone else, and it had nothing to do with him."

  "Good fellow, good fellow..." Shu Ye seemed to have already forgotten who was whose bosom friend...

  "I'm full, I'll go first." The excellent student girl put down her bowl and chopsticks and left.

  "Ah! So fast, wait for me... Sorry, we'll go first. See you later." Shu Ye hastily threw down her chopsticks and chased after them, not forgetting to turn back and consider Zhou Shuai's feelings.

  "Ah!" Just as Shu Ye rushed out of the door, she saw that Jiayou girl, because she was walking too fast and didn't notice, bumped into Cheng A who was coming from the opposite direction.

  "How can you be so careless? What if you get hit by a car?" Cheng A asked, holding up the excellent student who was about to fall, with a slightly reproachful tone.

  "I...I...I walked too fast for a moment and didn't notice!" The excellent student said with a bit of grievance.

  "Alright! Be more careful next time, have you eaten?"

  "Eat... haven't eaten..." The excellent student smiled slyly and replied

  "Oh, let's go, I'm treating you." Cheng A invited Shu Ye who was standing at the entrance of the restaurant to go in and eat together.

  "Uh... didn't we just say we were full?" Shu Ye muttered under her breath.

  "Didn't you say you weren't full? Otherwise, I'll go tell Cheng A that we've eaten." The excellent student glanced at Cheng A who was lining up and softly intimidated Shu Ye.

  "... nothing is free, Shu Ye felt a pang of guilt..."

  "Just now in a hurry and forgot to bring money?" Swallowing a mouthful of rice, Cheng A asked the excellent student who was nibbling on her rice beside him.

  "Not... at all!" Shu Ye was about to say, but her foot under the table was stepped on by the top student, and she changed her words abruptly.

  "Oh dear! I got up late this morning and rushed out, forgot to bring money."

  Do you get up late? Are you calling me every day? Do you get up late? Shu Ye muttered to herself again.

  "......" Both of them forgot to bring money, and A was speechless for a moment.

  "Women, women... even willing to lie for the man they like. Alas, saying they don't like him." Walking on the playground, Shu Ye said with a hint of irony.

  "Will you die if you don't say another word?" The excellent student glared at Cheng A, who was happily playing basketball under the hoop with Yan Qian and others.

  "I'm telling you, I'm telling you, those who speak with a forked tongue."

  "I let you speak, I let you speak, see if you still dare to speak?" The excellent girl made a gesture as if she was about to pinch Shu Ye's armpit.

  "Ah! ...I'll let you scratch..." Shu Ye strikes back

  Two people walked towards the classroom while playing and joking around, becoming a beautiful scene on the spacious playground.

  Cheng A, who was originally preparing to shoot the ball, looked at the two figures laughing and walking away, and couldn't help but be dazed for a moment... And here, there was also a pair of eyes that were similarly dazed by their or rather her back view...

  Youth gave them passion, and also gave them hope. In the unintentional afternoon, under the warm sunshine, the boys on the basketball court swung their vitality freely, and the girls on the lawn laughed and played.

  They restored the beauty of youth, the beauty of spring, and the carefree beauty... Here, sound is better than silence... The beauty of youth, the beauty of sunshine, people are more beautiful...
