During the afternoon, when classes were over, Gu Siyi handed the solved question to Lan Xiaoqiu who was getting ready to leave. She studied it for a moment before her eyes filled with understanding. Raising her head with an appreciative smile she thanked Gu Siyi.

“It’s nothing,” said Gu Siyi, waving her hand at the gesture.

“Did Xia Zhijun say anything?” asked Lan Xiaoqiu, with a hint of longing.

Gu Siyi was taken aback by the sudden question but she didn’t want to ignore her friend. “No, he just wrote down the process of solving the problem.”

What Xia Zhijun said and his expression at that time came to her mind, and Gu Siyi wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.

“Oh.” Lan Xiaoqiu answered, a little disappointed.

However, Gu Siyi was immersed in her embarrassment and didn’t notice it at all.

After dinner, Zheng Peipei pulled Zhang Xinyi to do her hair, so Gu Siyi and Xiang Li went to finish their homework in the library.

When Gu Siyi was immersed in the question, a folded note suddenly flew onto her book.

Her train of thought was interrupted, so she picked up the piece of paper, opened it, and read the contents. ‘Look at the seat opposite of you~’

Gu Siyi raised her head, to find a boy suddenly sitting on the chair opposite of her. He must have come recently she thought, as the chair was empty when she entered.

The two looked at each other without words for a long while, he tried breaking the ice by winking at her and raising his lips, but Gu Siyi didn’t feel like talking first.

He had Wheat-colored skin, a small head, and deep facial features. Along with a bit of scorn in his handsomeness.

Gu Siyi went back to the book she was studying simply because she didn’t know him. She didn’t feel one bit irritated.

Lu Ming: “…”

He didn’t expect her to be cold, Lu Ming couldn’t lie about being interested in this girl.

Lu Ming quickly jotted down another note and slipped it on her book in another attempt to get her attention.

‘Hi, classmate, can you tell me how to do the following question?’

‘The original speed of the train locomotive was 42km/h, and the acceleration on a section of downhill road was 0.3m/s…’

Gu Siyi, who was currently studying physics, was initially a little annoyed, but after reading the problem, she felt a little sympathetic towards him as he was most likely also a freshman in this high school.

She lifted the pen and started scribbling an answer on the paper, and returned it to him in less than a minute.

Soon, the other party handed over another piece of paper that said: ‘Thank you, Miss Sister, my foundation is bad, so I want to ask one more question.’

‘The object starts to move in a uniformly accelerated linear motion with an acceleration of 2m/s from a standstill. After 5s, the acceleration becomes 1m/s, and the direction is still the same as before….’

After reading the problem, Gu Siyi wrote down the steps to solve the problem and returned the paper to him.

She felt a bit psychologically burdened, but she didn’t want to tell him to leave. She felt it better for her to exit first.

Gu Siyi tapped Xiang Li’s arm who was sitting next to her. “Let’s go,” she said softly.

Xiang Li noticed the boy slipping her notes while studying so she understood her reasoning and got up with her.

Before the two could reach the library exit a semi-loud cry was heard behind them. “Hi, Gu Siyi~”

Gu Siyi paused and saw the boy who was sitting opposite of her chasing them, “Thank you for helping me solve the problem just now. Would you mind having a cup of milk tea together?”

“How do you know my name?” Gu Siyi asked ignoring his offer.

The boy curled his lips and smiled, “I’m from Class 8 and my name is Lu Ming. Yesterday, I was watching the badminton match between you and the girls in our class. So many people called your name loudly, so how couldn’t I remember.”

“Oh.”

“It turns out that you not only play badminton well, but you also study well.”

“…” You are so bad, big brother! What kind of problems are problems if they can be solved by me?

Of course, Gu Siyi wouldn’t say this, and could only smile perfunctorily.

“I invite you to have a cup of milk tea.”

“Okay.” Before Gu Siyi said a word, Xiang Li readily responded.

So the three left the library together and walked towards the milk tea shop.

Along the way, Lu Ming tried to speak to Gu Siyi in various ways but she was not used to the sudden enthusiasm of a stranger, and was relatively silent, but Xiang Li talked with him with relish. Lu Ming told a joke and leaned forward, but Gu Siyi didn’t respond.

“What are you thinking, Miss Sister?” He finally asked.

Gu Siyi returned to her senses and responded to the talkative boy. “The chemical reaction formula.”

This was of course a lie, she was thinking of other things most of which ended up with Xia Zhijun’s acting like a baby….

These two words were like a spell, which made her embarrassed and ashamed to think of.

After a few minutes that dragged on like hours, Lu Ming finished his milk tea and parted ways. Gu Siyi felt that her ears were finally cleaned.

“Don’t you think Lu Ming is handsome and interesting?” Asked Xiang Li after watching him leave the corner.

“He’s too noisy.” Gu Siyi blurted out, “It’s better to be a smart boy like Xia Zhijun.”

“When you look at your own male god, of course, it’s so good.”

“Where’s your home… don’t talk nonsense.” Gu Siyi said hurriedly, her expression unnatural.

“Hey, you have such a good relationship with Xia Xueshen. Isn’t he from your family?” Xiang Li commented, “Xia Xueshen is handsome, but he’s too cold, while Lu Ming is easy going.”

Without even thinking twice about it, Gu Siyi stood up for Xia Zhijun. “Geniuses are generally silent, and those who talk a lot are stupid. Just like Lu Ming just now, he doesn’t know how to solve simple physics problems, so he has to ask me. It’s dumb.”

Lu Ming: “…”

He came back to ask Gu Siyi for her contact information but he hesitated after hearing her stabbing words.

So, is this the reason why she’s not warm to me? He thought. She only likes smart boys.

Lu Ming was very heartbroken, after all, his physics was okay. He saw that the physics problem that Gu Siyi did was not difficult, so he chose the easier one. What a caring way of approaching a conversation. As a result, she actually gave him a fool’s hat?

Lu Ming heard the words full of disgust and felt that he had to take a step back.

Xiang Li smiled “Okay, let’s not talk about your god. I didn’t know you were such a good guardian.”
