“Yeah, I went to the bookstore to buy some books. I didn’t expect to see you guys on the way back…”

“Ahem.” Xie Juan coughed and said in a serious tone, “Classmate, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say anything. Be careful not to get yourself killed.”

Wen Hua was slightly stunned.

Fu Ming turned to Xie Juan and said, “Don’t scare her.”

He turned to Wen Hua and said, “Actually, today’s matter was started by that side. We didn’t want to cause any trouble, but they were really too annoying and had to come forward to settle it.”

“Yes, I know.” She nodded. “I can see that they are being aggressive. Don’t worry, I won’t say anything.”

A boy laughed. “Brother Ming, the goddess you like is really sensible.”

Afraid that Wen Hua would be embarrassed, Fu Ming deliberately kept a straight face. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Xie Juan smiled and led the way. “Let’s go, little classmate. I scared you just now. We’ll send you back.”

“You’re in the third year of high school?” Wen Hua asked.

“He’s in the first year of high school.”

Wen Hua corrected him. “Then you should call me senior.”

Xie Juan said, “Okay, senior. Come to the Student Council more often when you’re free.”

She shook her head. “Your Student Council deducts my points every day.”

“You mean Xu Zi? That little girl isn’t sensible. Let’s talk about her in the future.”

“Yeah, let’s talk about it properly.”

As the group walked, Wen Hua walked on the leftmost side without batting an eyelid, a long distance away from Xi Mo on the right.

Fu Ming saw her hiding the birdcage behind her and asked curiously, “Why did you buy the birdcage?”

Wen Hua: “…”

Couldn’t she just pretend not to see it? The Student Council President was still beside her.

“It’s not a birdcage. Our dormitory bought it to hang potted plants. There’s a hanging orchid in the dormitory.”

“Oh.” Fu Ming thought for a few seconds and felt that the girls were really smart. They could even think of decorating the room. “Your dormitory must have a very artistic atmosphere.”

“It’s okay.” She changed the topic. “Those people were so fierce just now. How did you provoke them?”

When Xie Juan heard that, he glanced at the cold-looking person and smiled irresponsibly. “Old Xi owes a romantic debt.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately received a cold gaze.

Romantic debt.

Wen Hua secretly glanced at the debtor. He didn’t look like he would owe romantic debt.

However, who knew if he was having affairs outside the school.

“The campus belle took a fancy to Brother Xi. Previously, she kept sending him love letters and gifts. On the weekend, she even waited at the entrance of No. 1 High School to see him, but old Xi ignored her. After a period of silence, we all thought that the campus belle had given up. Last month, when we were playing in the bar, she somehow followed us and bought a large bouquet of flowers to confess her love, causing a huge commotion. She wanted to use the momentum of the crowd to get old Xi to agree to be her boyfriend.”

“And then?”

Fu Ming’s lips curled into a nonchalant smile as he continued, “Then, she annoyed old Xi and he didn’t give her any face. At that time, she was probably heartbroken and embarrassed. When one of her brain-dead secret admirers found out about this, he came to pick a fight and was taught a lesson by old Xi. The red-haired guy just now was his cousin.”

Wen Hua said gently, “So that’s how it is.”

“How is it?” Xie Juan raised his eyebrows, he said in a teasing tone, “Our Brother Xi is charming, right? It’s not the first time that a love rival has found fault with him. I think he shouldn’t have gone so far. The school belle is quite pretty. If he accepted her, he wouldn’t have had to go through all this. What do you think, Senior?”

“Huh?” She was stunned for a moment. She felt that Xie Juan was trying to trick her. “I think…”

“If you ask me, the girls from our No. 1 High School are still the prettiest. They also have a deeper meaning,” Xie Juan said without waiting for her reply.

Wen Hua: “Yes…”

Xie Juan: “She’s not prettier than you.”

Fu Ming looked at Xie Juan with a strange expression. Why was this dog speaking in a yin and yang manner? He couldn’t tell what was wrong, but he subconsciously felt unhappy.

Especially since Wen Hua was talking to him alone the entire way.

After entering the school, they were going to the administrative building while Wen Hua was going back to the dormitory. Before they parted ways, Xi Mo, who had not spoken to her much along the way, looked at the cage in her hands and said faintly, “There’s a check-up this week.”

He didn’t know if he was reminding her or warning her, but she had carefully hidden the little mung bean. The day the Student Council’s Inspection Department came to check on her, they were not discovered.

—

The little mung bean had been raised for two weeks and gradually became more and more mellow. Every time it saw Wen Hua, it would chirp excitedly in the cage. Their dormitory was even livelier because of the little fellow’s presence.

Next week was the midterm exam. The class teacher had promised them that if their class average score could reach 640 this time, she would take them on an autumn outing.

For the autumn outing, everyone had been studying hard during this period of time. The atmosphere of learning in class one was the same as when passersby passed by and saw it.

They were all top students, so most of them did not have to worry about sharing the grade. When everyone was struggling together, they suddenly remembered that there was still a big shot in the class.

Whether or not he did well in the exam was the key to deciding whether or not the class would have the autumn outing.

Realizing this, the class monitor secretly poked the class teacher to ask if the grade should be shared with Xi Mo. The class teacher rolled her eyes at him. “How can it not be counted in the same class? Do you still want to split?”

The class monitor brought the news to the class and discussed it with Wen Hua when Xi Mo was not around.

“You should properly tutor this big shot. Although the school is run by his family, if he doesn’t do well in his studies, our grade will not be high. Please put in more effort recently. If we can go on the autumn tour in the end, you’ll be a great contributor.”

Wen Hua said, “But, we still need him to learn. If he doesn’t listen to me…”

“Please!”

“Alright, I’ll try my best.”

In order to not let everyone’s plan to go for the autumn outing fall through, Wen Hua took the initiative to ask Xi Mo to teach him how to do the questions. Her attitude had completely changed from his previous attitude of not calling her and not caring about her.

“If you have any vague questions that you don’t quite understand, just ask me. Other than mathematics, you can do other subjects too.”

Xi Mo had just returned from playing basketball. The broken hair on his forehead was slightly wet with sweat. He had just sat down and opened the bottle to drink some water. Seeing that she was so enthusiastic today, he silently looked at her for a few seconds.

“No need, I don’t want to learn today.”

Wen Hua saw that he was drinking water with his head raised. The rolling adam’s apple really attracted her attention. She quietly averted her gaze and turned around to take out a wet towel from the table.

“Wipe your sweat. If you don’t want to learn now, you should take a break first. It’s time to combine work and rest… Hmm, it’s almost mid-term. You should do your best too.”

Do your best, don’t drag down our class.

Xi Mo aimed at the trash can and threw the empty bottle lightly.

With a clang, it got in.

The girl at the front table had a straight back. Her thin shoulders and thin back made her look gentle and pure. A small piece of her fair and tender skin was slightly exposed at the back of her neck. Her fluffy and soft black ponytail curled into an arc in the air.

She tore open the light pink wrapper. A faint smell of cherry blossoms lingered in her nostrils. It was a very comforting smell.

Xi Mo looked at her for a while. Suddenly, he wanted to know if she had this kind of fragrance on her body too.
