“I didn’t expect that you, Lu Li, would also like this type of book…”

Chen Siyu blushed and handed the novel she was reading to Lu Li.

Lu Li accepted it unceremoniously.

Looking at the cover, there was an artistic landscape painting, which looked like a typical classical female lead romance novel.

Sure enough, girls all liked to read this kind of novel.

Lu Li nodded with a smile and said, “Yes, I like to read classical novels. Thank you, class monitor. I’ll return it to you after the first period.”

“Okay……”

Chen Siyu nodded with a red face.

When Chen Siyu’s deskmate smiled and said, “Lu Li, I didn’t expect this was the true you.”

Lu Li only thought that she was saying that he was being flirtatious.

After all, the image that Lu Li usually gave people was that of a silent boy who loved to play games.

When they suddenly realized that he was a young boy who loved to read poetic classical novels, they would naturally look at him in a different light.

However, her words were interpreted differently by the two boys behind Chen Siyu.

When the two of them saw that Lu Li had so easily borrowed Chen Siyu’s novel, their faces could not help but turn gloomy.

A new rival in love!

In just a short conversation, he had shown that he had the same interest as Chen Siyu, and even managed to borrow her book!

The two of them had tried borrowing the novel from Chen Siyu, but Chen Siyu avoided lending it in every possible manner. But this time she had just given it to Lu Li so easily!

Combined with the fact that Lu Li was handsome, the sense of crisis in their hearts became even stronger!

A formidable enemy! Definitely a formidable enemy!

Lu Li naturally did not care what they thought.

He left now that he had the novel in his hands.

He returned to his seat.

Jiang Xu had already raised his thumb and said to Lu Li, “Awesome, that’s my boy! I was wondering why you asked me for a non-academic book. So it was an excuse!”

“What do you mean by an excuse? What’s there to make a fuss of? Shoo.”

How could Lu Li not know what Jiang Xu meant? He most likely meant that Lu Li had deliberately found an excuse to get close to Chen Siyu.

Chen Siyu was beautiful after all. It was normal for him to be misunderstood if he took the initiative to borrow a book.

Lu Li ignored Jiang Xu.

He placed the novel called “Mount Shaman’s Coldness” on the table.

Just as he was about to read it, he caught a glimpse of Chen Siyu from the corner of his eye. She was looking at him with a flushed face.

Lu Li looked at her. Their eyes met, and Lu Li smiled and nodded at her.

But she avoided his gaze.

“Does she think that I want to pursue her or something like that?”

Lu Li thought to himself.

It was very possible. After all, as a girl, she was very sensitive to these matters. It was normal for her to misunderstand.

Lu Li stopped thinking about it.

He flipped open the novel.

He casually glanced at the table of contents and started the prologue.

Following that was the first chapter.

The second chapter.

Lu Li slowly realized that something was wrong. Why was this book from the male protagonist’s perspective?

Could it be that he had guessed wrongly and Chen Siyu likes to read classical novels from the perspective of a male protagonist instead?

At this moment, the class bell rang.

Lu Li continued to open the third chapter, the fourth chapter…

As he read, Lu Li frowned.

What was going on? Why did the male protagonist in the book keep flirting with another male character……?

Lu Li frowned and read a few more chapters. His eyes widen abruptly as if he was greatly shocked.

F*ck!

This was a freaking boy’s love novel!

At this moment, he understood the reason behind Chen Siyu’s shyness. He also understood Chen Siyu’s deskmate’s meaningful smile, and also the meaning behind her saying “true you”.

“F*ck!”

Lu Li couldn’t help but look in Chen Siyu’s direction.

Chen Siyu seemed to have sensed his gaze. She turned around and the two of them stared right at each other.

He saw her same face, her same expression, and her same gaze. However, Lu Li’s mood had changed drastically this time around.

F*ck! I want a refund!

“Damn it! They’re looking at each other again!”

The two boys behind Chen Siyu noticed that Chen Siyu would look at Lu Li from time to time during class.

This made them very unhappy.

Now, the two of them ignored class and began to flirt with each other in front of the other students!

The two students had a mental breakdown!

“This is too infuriating!”

“Ah! My class monitor!”

The two of them wailed in pain silently.

“Ah! My eyes!”

Lu Li also cursed loudly in his heart.

What kind of shitty book is this! A dog won’t even want to read it!

…

Thirty minutes later, Lu Li closed the book, “Mount Shaman’s coldness”.

[Learning Point + 233]!

The moment he closed the book, Lu Li covered his eyes, trying to forget what he had just seen.

He felt that he was not pure anymore.

“Siyu, look.”

In the distance, Chen Siyu’s deskmate suddenly nudged her with her elbow.

Chen Siyu quickly followed her deskmate’s gaze and looked at Lu Li. She saw that the novel on Lu Li’s desk had been closed, and Lu Li was covering his eyes, looking very sad.

Could it be that he was moved by the story of the two male protagonists in the novel?

“Li, the class monitor is watching you.”

Jiang Xu could not help but reminded Lu Li.

Hearing this, Lu Li’s state of mind worsens further.

Remembering that he said “I like this book very much” and “I often read this type of book” in front of Chen Siyu just moments ago, Lu Li could not imagine what kind of image Chen Siyu had of him.

Lu Li now experienced what social death was like.

…

Fortunately, everything was as Lu Li had expected.

Even if he was reading literary novels that had little to do with learning, he could still increase his Learning Points.

If that’s the case, the ways he could develop this Learning System were extremely flexible.

There were countless novels in this world. Collections of essays, poetry, as well as all kinds of books on finance, sociology, architecture, design, and so on. Even if he read until the end of time, he would never be able to finish them all.

At least he would not have to worry about not being able to find a book to read in the future.

Thinking of this, Lu Li immediately picked up the other textbooks.

He first need to read something normal to clean his eyes first.

Soon, the bell rang.

Lu Li took the initiative to return the book to Chen Siyu and said, “Thank you.”

Chen Siyu’s cheeks were flushed as she took the book from Lu Li. She was originally bright and cheerful, but now she appeared a little shy.

She said, “Lu Li if you like it, I have more at home……”

“No need, no need…”

Lu Li quickly waved his hand, trying to not lose his composure. He forced a smile and said, “That would be too troublesome for you.”

Chen Siyu shook her head. “It’s not troublesome.”

“Troublesome! Very troublesome! There’s no need! I still have something to do, I’ll leave first!”

Lu Li hurriedly ran back to his seat.

Then, he picked up the geography book and continued to read.

He could feel that Chen Siyu was looking at him, but he didn’t want to raise his head.

He didn’t know how to face Chen Siyu and her deskmate.

It was too much!

Fortunately, he and Chen Siyu didn’t have much interaction, to begin with. In his previous life, the two of them had never communicated after graduation.

After this, as long as their relationship stays like before, interacting minimally with each other till the end of the college entrance exam, his worry should wash away.

With this thought in mind, Lu Li continued to read without any distractions.

Until the second period was over.

The homeroom teacher came to the class and announced that Lu Li and Jiang Xu had successfully registered for the Spirit Martial class.

Upon hearing this, the entire class was in an uproar.

One after another, they cast envious gazes at Lu Li and Jiang Xu.

It was very rare for a student to be able to enter the Spirit Martial class for an ordinary class like theirs.

But now, there were two of them.

Although joining the Spirit Martial class only required 180 points of Spiritual Power Index, for ordinary students, being able to reach 150 points of Spiritual Power Index before the college entrance examination was already difficult.

For them, the gap between 150 and 180 points was a gap that they could not breach before graduating from high school.

Everyone was racing against time, with only a few selected ones that could beat it.

That was why they were especially envious of Lu Li and Jiang Xu.

…

“From now on, the two of you have to gather in Room 502 every afternoon after school on the fifth floor.”

Before leaving, the homeroom teacher especially reminded the two of them.

Lu Li and Jiang Xu both nodded in agreement.

“Oh right, class monitor, come over here for a moment.”

At this moment, the homeroom teacher seemed to have thought of something and waved at the class monitor, Chen Siyu who was at a distance.

When Chen Siyu heard the teacher, she got up from her seat and walked over.

She stood side by side with Lu Li and Jiang Xu.

The homeroom teacher pointed at Lu Li and Jiang Xu and said to Chen Siyu, “After school today, you will bring the two of them with you. The two of them can sit in the two empty seats next to you. Just sit together since all of you are classmates.”

“Okay, got it.”

Chen Siyu nodded and then turned to Lu Li and Jiang Xu with a friendly smile.

At this moment, Lu Li awkwardly realized that Chen Siyu was also a member of the Spirit Martial class. Moreover, she joined the Spirit Martial Class a few months earlier than himself and Jiang Xu.

But, that was not the point.

It was that he would have to interact with her every day from now on!

Thinking back to that boy’s love novel, Lu Li’s face was filled with despair.

“Oh right.”

At this moment, the homeroom teacher said, “Lu Li’s physics and mathematics results are not very good. Class monitor, tutor him whenever you are free.”

When Chen Siyu heard this, she also nodded.

She turned around and extended her hand to Lu Li, saying, “Well then, student Lu Li, nice to make your acquaintance!”

“Same, same here…”

Lu Li felt his heart pained. He squeezed out a smile and reached out his hand to shake hers..
