Chapter 121 Xu Qingwan is furious

On Tuesday morning, Lu Zhaoye and two others walked together on their way to school.

He looked at Luo Xiao and Zhang Xinhan's dark circles with suspicion and couldn't help but ask,

"What's going on? Did you stay up all night digging again last night?"

Luo Xiao was startled and weakly kicked Lu Zhaoye, then unleashed a Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger, silencing Lu Zhaoye instantly.

Zhang Xinhan, with her hair down and her face lowered, remained silent, her eyes fixed on the ground, looking somewhat guilty, and her earlobes slightly burning.

Lu Zhaoye stopped teasing them, greeted them, and then parted ways with them.

He still remembered to bring breakfast for the housekeeper, but he wondered if she had been eating breakfast properly these past few days.

Lu Zhaoye ate breakfast across from the school, then bought a steamer of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) before entering the school.

When Lu Zhaoye arrived at the classroom, the morning reading session had already begun, so he hunched over and sneaked in through the back door.

Xu Qingwan had her hair tied in a bun, and the catfish whiskers on her forehead fluttered gently in the breeze. Her blue and white short-sleeved school uniform made her look exceptionally youthful.

Xu Qingwan had already spotted Lu Zhaoye, and she stepped aside slightly to let him in.

Before he could even sit down, Lu Zichen in front of him turned around with a sly laugh.

"Rizhao, you're something else! You got first place in the exam and now you don't even come to school."

Qin Tian next door covered his face with his Chinese textbook, sighed, shook his head, and said...

"Orange, do you think reading every day like this is really useful?"

Lu Zhaoye stuffed the steamed buns into Xu Qingwan's desk drawer, picked up a book at random, stood up, and said with a grin,

"It's not that studying is useless, it's that you're useless."

"..."

"Lu Zhaoye, right? Huh?" Qin Tian and Lu Zichen put their books on the table, turned around, and glared angrily at Lu Zhaoye.

Xu Qingwan, who had been silent all along, became a little nervous upon hearing this. She rubbed the book and subconsciously moved closer to Lu Zhaoye.

Lu Zhaoye raised an eyebrow and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

"What, are you all going to be my enemies too?"

"Your idea is too stubborn, why don't you just take action?" Qin Tian whispered in Lu Zichen's ear.

Lu Zichen, his face grim, looked at the grinning Lu Zhaoye and Xu Qingwan, who was ready to activate the one-click protection at any moment. He immediately smiled and said to Lu Zhaoye,

"It's a misunderstanding, Ono. Nainong and I just wanted to say, you get such good grades, why don't you teach your sister-in-law?"

After saying that, Lu Zichen winked at Lu Zhaoye in a boastful manner, and also glanced at Xu Qingwan, who blushed instantly.

"You're not allowed to talk nonsense," Xu Qingwan interrupted the two with a cold shout, her brows furrowing slightly.

This was the first time Lu Zichen and the other person had seen Xu Qingwan so fierce, so they quickly apologized and turned their heads away.

In fact, this was not only the first time Lu Zichen had seen Xu Qingwan lose her temper, but also the first time Lu Zhaoye had ever seen her do so.

Lu Zhaoye was slightly taken aback, swallowed hard, and secretly glanced at Xu Qingwan, who was also secretly looking at him.

The two looked at each other for a moment and then immediately looked away. Lu Zhaoye moved closer to the wall, while Xu Qingwan moved closer to the aisle.

They spent the morning self-study session in this very awkward manner, with neither Lu Zhaoye nor Xu Qingwan saying a word.

As soon as the bell rang to signal the end of morning self-study, Lu Zichen and Qin Tian rushed out of the classroom as if they were escaping, while the other students went to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Zhang Xinhan glanced at the back row from the window and then left.

Lu Zhaoye sat down and pointed to the steamed buns under Xu Qingwan's desk, saying...

"I brought you breakfast."

"I'm sorry about what happened just now. I'll bring it up with them later and ask them not to say that."

As soon as Lu Zhaoye finished speaking, Xu Qingwan, who had been looking down, stomped her foot hard, stood up, and ran out without looking back.

"?"

Lu Zhaoye felt that his silly deskmate was acting strangely today. Could it be that his "sister-in-law" was angry?

However, Lu Zhaoye suddenly realized that Xu Qingwan hadn't dated anyone, so saying this might affect her reputation.

Without thinking much, Lu Zhaoye grabbed the steamed buns and chased after them.

Meanwhile, Xu Qingwan covered her face and ran all the way to the rooftop. Looking down at the groups of students heading to the cafeteria, she felt a little bitter.

These past few nights she's been reading a novel called "Starting from Becoming a Yellow-haired Boy." At first, she liked it because Ren Min recommended it, and also because the male protagonist in the book really reminded her of her bad classmate.

Then, a character named Lin Xinwan appeared, and Xu Qingwan noticed something was wrong the more she watched.

This character really resembled her, so she approached the author hoping to add more plot details.

But in the chapter just the day before yesterday, Lin Xinwan's crying in the rain was exactly the same as her breakdown after finishing her exam that day.

Xu Qingwan suddenly realized that the author seemed to be from Gangcheng, and the only person who knew about this was her bad deskmate.

After careful investigation and consideration, Xu Qingwan was basically convinced that the author was the bad classmate, but she still did not have conclusive evidence.

So, Xu Qingwan sent Lu Zhaoye a message on Sunday.

Do you like rice cakes?

Unfortunately, Lu Zhaoye did not reply to her, so Xu Qingwan risked being caught again yesterday and brought her phone to the classroom once more.

That evening, Xu Qingwan learned from chatting with the author that he wasn't an older man, so the answer was obvious.

Xu Qingwan had a sleepless night. In the book by her "Bad Desk Mate," Yan Ziqing should be Xu Ziqing. And indeed, as her "Bad Desk Mate" said, they were just like older and younger brothers.

Although the book amplifies many sweet details in the story of the "bad deskmate," which makes Xu Qingwan feel heartbroken, she can accept it because she and her "bad deskmate" are always sweet and loving.

What she found hardest to accept was that her bad deskmate actually had a childhood sweetheart, and... and that childhood sweetheart was incredibly possessive.

Xu Qingwan, being a girl herself, naturally discerned from the details in the book how much Lu Zhaoye's childhood sweetheart liked him.

And that childhood sweetheart was actually sleeping in her bed... doing that kind of thing.

Just then, a shout interrupted Xu Qingwan's reverie.

"Xu Qingwan, why are you crying?"

Lu Zhaoye chased after Xu Qingwan to the top floor with steamed buns in his hand, and was momentarily confused when he saw her squatting in the corner crying.

But he also suddenly remembered his mother's sharp and sarcastic tone on Saturday. Lu Zhaoye squatted in front of Xu Qingwan and said coldly,

"Did your mother scold you again? Don't cry, I'll go and get revenge for you."

Xu Qingwan had only been sobbing softly, but after hearing what Lu Zhaoye said, she felt even more aggrieved.

It turns out he saw what happened on Saturday too.

Xu Qingwan was suddenly moved, and this feeling gradually lessened her sadness. She grabbed Lu Zhaoye's sleeve and said in a voice trembling with tears,

"Don't go, you shouldn't go."
