Chapter 3: The Most Humble When I Like You (Thirty-Seven)

  The First Watch

  Tang Tang looked at Xia Ye's lonely figure on the summer night, feeling guilty in her heart. However, when she walked into the classroom and saw Gu Xian Nian, her guilt towards Xia Ye immediately dissipated. With a flattering gaze, she looked at Gu Xian Nian, wanting to rush to his side like a show-off and tell him that she had already solved the troubles that annoyed him. But she didn't dare to make any sudden moves, fearing that her actions would provoke his disgust.

  It's strange that he didn't have any contact with him for the entire morning, so how did he look at himself with such a cold gaze?

  Tang Tang was like being doused with a big basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing the warm flame in her heart. She felt cold, all the way to her heart.

  She listlessly returned to her seat, not in the mood to do anything, with the scene of Gu Xianye's icy stare at her replaying over and over again in her mind, repeatedly recalling where she had offended him, but no matter how hard she thought about it for half a day, she just couldn't figure out what she had done wrong.

  She felt like she had fallen into an ice cave and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't climb out, and was about to freeze to death inside.

  She stared blankly for a moment, opened her pencil case to do her homework, and saw a small note inside. Her heart, which had already hit rock bottom, couldn't help but thump wildly. It was Gu Xianye who put it there! Who else could it be?

  She didn't know if it was because of nervousness or excitement, her hands were shaking badly, she quietly grabbed the note in her palm and secretly unfolded it under the table: Why didn't you help me with lunch at noon?

  It was for this!

  Sugar found the answer and suddenly felt a sense of relief, couldn't help but laugh: Fool! I'm not helping you with cooking because I have something important to do!

  After the first class in the afternoon, the English teacher asked Gu Xianian to go to the office and bring the English test papers that had just been graded back to the classroom for explanation in the next class.

  A heaven-sent opportunity!

  Tang sugar took out the gift box with lily flower hair accessories from the innermost layer of her clothes. The gift box was well protected by her, neither getting a drop of rain nor being squeezed into deformation. Due to long-term close protection, it still carried Tang sugar girl's body temperature.

  She pretended to be careless and walked to Gu Xiannian's position, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to put the gift box in his drawer, along with a small note, then quickly escaped like a thief.

  Tang Sugar had just left Gu Xiannian's seat, and Gu Xiannian walked in with a stack of scrolls. He placed the scrolls on the podium and returned to his own seat.

  Tang sugar had one hand propped on the desk, blocking her face, intently watching every move of Gu Xianye, hoping he would quickly discover the gift box. However, Gu Xianye seemed to be deliberately opposing her, only chatting with the male classmates beside him, without even thinking of reaching into his pocket to feel around.

  Tang sugar is so eager to see each other every day, classmates who have a lot to talk about, it's like being in a relationship! In my heart, I couldn't help but feel the melancholy of "The spring breeze cannot dispel the longing, and the gentle emotions are wasted in the rain!" The short 10-minute class break was enough to torment that little heart.

  The school bell rang, and Tāng Tāng completely gave up on the idea of Gù Xiǎo Nián discovering the gift box. She listlessly supported her head with her hand, but still couldn't help sneaking a peek at Gù Xiǎo Nián every second.

  He unexpectedly reached into the drawer and felt for the gift box, he paused for a second, as if he had anticipated something, looked around cautiously, his face serious, hesitated and took out the gift box, only to glance at it and quickly put it back in the drawer, but his hand didn't come out, instead continued to move inside the drawer, pulled out the small note from the gift box, pretending to read a book, secretly unfolded it on his textbook, with a line of words that made him speechless: "At noon, I wasn't intentionally not helping you buy lunch, there was something more important to do."

  Gu Xian year was indeed a top student, reacting quickly and immediately understanding. He looked at Tang Sugar with an apologetic and grateful gaze.

  That's enough!

  Tang Sugar felt that his efforts had finally been rewarded, and with a heart full of joy, he returned a sweet smile to him, straightened up, and could finally listen to the lesson with peace of mind.

  But her nose suddenly itched, she tried hard to hold back, but failed, a loud sneeze exploded in the small space of the classroom, reverberating and startling a large number of distracted and sleepy students, all of whom were suddenly invigorated.

  Tang Tang felt extremely embarrassed, his face and ears red with discomfort. He glanced at Gu Xian Ye, who didn't react at all. In his heart, he felt both relieved and a little disappointed, unable to say why.

  It was easy to wait for the end of class, but Tang Sugar became nervous: if Gu Xian gave the gift to himself, what should he do?!

  Her heart was racing, her eyes seemed to be stuck on Gu Xianye's body, staring at him tensely, as if he were a fierce beast.

  However, Gu Xian remained nonchalant and continued to interact with her male classmates, showing a tendency to develop in an incorrect direction. Not to mention approaching her, he didn't even glance at her.

  The fiery heart that had been burning with excitement slowly cooled down, disappointment gradually welled up in her chest, and she finally withdrew her gaze. With nothing better to do, she began doodling randomly on a piece of paper. As she drew, she suddenly realized that all she had written was the name "Gu Xiannian". Her heart skipped a beat, and she froze in place, staring blankly at the paper filled with the three characters of Gu Xiannian's name like an idiot, unmoving for half a day.

  The second class was math, and Qin teacher was passionately explaining a problem with n solutions on the podium. Tang sugar's brain wasn't idle either, analyzing from various angles the n reasons why Gu Xian didn't take any action.

  He wouldn't be thinking of giving it to himself after school, would he? At that time, he must have been worried about being discovered by his classmates, it must be so!

  Tang Sugar was trying to find an excuse for Gu Xian in her heart, when Teacher Qin walked up to her desk, with a stern face and knocked heavily on her desk: "Repeat the inequality with absolute value that I just taught."

  Tang Sugar was shocked as soon as she heard it, and she hadn't heard a word just now. How could she repeat it! She slowly stood up from her seat and stared at the blackboard in a daze.

  Teacher Qin looked at her with a mixture of disappointment and frustration, knowing she wouldn't understand, and gently tugged on her long ponytail, half-jokingly and half-critically saying: "Is your antenna broken? Can't receive the teacher's signal?"

  Classmates burst into laughter, and the students sitting in the back row woke up from their beautiful dreams, looking at the scene in front of them in a daze.

  Tang sugar was so ashamed that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

  After the second class, Sugar felt her head was heavy and dizzy, her nose was stuffy, so she lay on the desk with her eyes closed to rest, but she always felt someone was staring at her, she couldn't help but be curious, opened her eyes and met Gu Xian's line of sight, he... did you want something?
