The English teacher was a young man, who had a scholarly look. He wrote his name on the blackboard: Ji Mu.
The girls whispered to each other below, and Zheng Peipei couldn’t help but lean into Gu Siyi’s ear to relay the same thing, “This English teacher is pretty handsome, isn’t he?”
“He’s okay.” She replied not giving him a second glance. After all, who can compare with Xia Zhijun’s delicate looks?
After Ji Mu introduced himself, he checked the list of students and started to look through them one by one. Gu Siyi happened to be the one he stopped on.
Under the leadership of Xia Zhijun, Gu Siyi has read the previous texts by heart, and she could already recite the first one. So when she was asked, she felt extremely calm and relaxed. While reading, her voice was like a trickle, pleasant to the ear, and the rhythm was just right.
When she finished reading, Ji Mu asked, “What’s your name?”
“Gu Siyi.”
Ji Mu nodded and went back to the podium, “Okay, Gu Siyi will be the English class representative from now on.”
Gu Siyi: “…”
Zheng Peipei gave her a thumbs up, “Awesome!”
She never expected to represent anything, mine as well English of all subjects, she’s the one who took the English language to trash.
At the end of class, the teacher assigned homework and left. The class became active, with Xiang Li and Zhang Xinyi running the chatter.
“Wow, I didn’t expect your English to be so good!”
“Your pronunciation is really on point, and the English you read out was very good.”
“It was just average….” She commented meekly.
“Don’t be so modest.”
“I found out that Si Yi is low-key cool. She was a bad student all day long, and then showed her true cards at the right moment.” Zheng Peipei interjected, “If you learn well, you will be humble. The real scumbag had long since abandoned himself.”
Gu Siyi: “…”
She heard a vague sneer from her side. Turning her head, she found the source to be Xia Zhijun flipping through his book.
It’s him, it must be him. He knows her details best….
Before the end of the last class in the afternoon, Zheng Peipei grabbed onto Gu Siyi’s arm and held her tight, “will you have dinner with us?”
From her actions, Zheng Peipei wasn’t giving her much of an option, but she questioned regardless. “Aren’t you okay with sitting with the four boys?”
Zheng Peipei let go of her arm and acted like she was thinking to herself. “Hmm … Xia Zhijun is not a good person to provoke, Lu Jiaye is not pleasing to the eye, Su Han is not bad I guess, and Zhou Xiao doesn’t speak much. It’s boring to have dinner with them, it’s better to be with us girls.”
Having clearly thought about that before Zheng Peipei went back to holding her arm, “My dear, I only know you at that table. You HAVE to accompany me.”
Gu Siyi couldn’t hide her pity anymore, so she finally agreed. “Okay, I wanted to buy you milk tea anyways.”
So, the four of them went to the cafeteria for dinner, and thanks to Gu Siyi, Zheng Peipei and Xiang Li, and Zhang Xinyi were also acquainted.
They all talked cheerfully for the first half of the lunch break, “Why don’t you two switch places with the two in front of us,” Zheng Peipei eventually suggested. “It’ll save you the time of running around after class.”
Gu Siyi wasn’t comfortable with the idea of asking someone else. “I wonder if they will be willing?”
“I’ll take care of it.” Zheng Peipei already had a plan.
After a while of chatting and eating, Xia Zhijun and his party set foot into the hall, and with them came a flurry of stares and chatter.
Zheng Peipei rolled her eyes from irritation. “What a flirt.”
Xiang Li sighed. “The last time I talked to Xia Zhijun, I felt his killing power at close range. He deserves to be the schoolmaster.”
Zhang Xinyi nodded in agreement. “Really handsome.”
“Siyi?” Xiang Li turned to her close friend. “Don’t you blush and feel your heartbeat rise when talking to him?”
Gu Siyi choked on her drink and didn’t know how to answer.
Zheng Peipei put her arms around Gu Siyi before she could recover. “Si Yi, you must never like him. I’m telling you, he has a very bad temper. He used to be a tyrant in our compound and no one dared to provoke him. And the worst part is he’s a very arrogant jerk. Relying only on his silky white skin. He has seduced countless girls to fall in love with him and they are even willing to shed blood for him. You must not fall, and don’t be as tacky as those idiots.”
Gu Siyi pushed her away, not believing her for a minute, she tried changing the subject. “Haven’t you talked enough, you still haven’t done the homework, you’re just thinking about these likes and dislikes all day long. My goal is to be the Qingbei schoolmaster, not Longxing school master.”
“Awesome!” Zheng Peipei applauded happily. “We meet to soak the schoolmaster of Qingbei.”
After dinner, Gu Siyi invited them for their long-awaited milk tea.
“How about we go to the library to study together this evening?” Suggested Xiang Li.
Zhang Xinyi nodded, “Sure.”
The school left the evening time for students to roam freely. All facilities and classrooms were open for them.
Zheng Peipei hurriedly waved her hand in retaliation, “Don’t, don’t, don’t ask me to study with you guys. You can find me either at the cafeteria or at an entertainment venue..”
Gu Siyi felt a little embarrassed for her, but she had to reject both their offers. “Next time, I’m actually busy tonight.”
She had already received a WeChat from Xia Zhijun, asking her to meet at the basketball court next to Si Xueyuan at 8 o’clock. She had already prepared a box of Haagen-Dazs and a box of Dove Chocolates to give to him. So when the time came she hurried over to the court with both boxes in hand.
She saw the silhouette of Xia Zhijun’s long back from afar, playing basketball all alone. Just as she reached the end of the court, the basketball flew towards her and her reflexes took over, dropping the bag and jumping to catch it. She instinctively dribbled into the field and shot a perfect three-pointer.
Turning back, she found Xia Zhijun walking to the parallel bars and leaning lazily. She took a few steps towards him and stopped upright in front of him with confidence still bursting through her from the shot. “What I said this afternoon about not liking you, I didn’t mean I hate you. Don’t get me wrong.”
Xia Zhijun turned to look at her. Under the gentle moonlight, his eyebrows appeared like something out of a painting, the expression in his eyes was meaningful.
He was about to raise his hand when Gu Siyi took a step back, pinched her ears with both hands, bowed her head, and said sincerely, “I pinch my ears and swear, I’m not lying.”
“…” Xia Zhijun’s hand froze, he stopped what he was about to say from how funny the scene before him was.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
