Chapter 28: Is So Coquettish And Lazy

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The campus was very quiet during class hours. Occasionally, the sound of reading could be heard.

She slowly climbed the stairs, thinking absent-mindedly that time had passed really fast. More than half of the semester had already passed.

At the corner of the stairs, a pair of white sneakers appeared in her field of vision. As she went up, the tall figure of the boy was as proud and arrogant as ever.

Xi Mo walked past her and went down the stairs.

Wen Hua paused and looked back at him. He went down a few steps and suddenly stopped. She looked back at him and he asked, “Did you skip class?”

“No, I took a leave of absence because I was not feeling well. Are you going to PE Class?”

“Yes.”

Without saying anything else, he went straight down the stairs.

She stood there and watched his back view for a while. Then, she went upstairs to return to the classroom.

Wen Hua’s lower abdomen hurt a little. She went back to the classroom to drink some hot water and lay on the table to rest. Initially, she only closed her eyes to rest for a while, but in the end, she really fell asleep.

In a daze, the class bell rang, followed by the noisy footsteps of the students entering the classroom. She was sleepy and continued to sleep.

She was knocked on her back. It was very light, and she thought it was an illusion so she ignored it.

After a while, the people behind her bent their fingers and knocked on her back again. Wen Hua was very sleepy, but she still resisted the urge to sleep and turned around.

Xi Mo saw that she looked sleepy and did not even open her eyes. She was really delicate and lazy.

Her eyes and brows were full of sleepiness. On a sunny afternoon, they were clear and gentle, and the fine hairs on her face could be seen clearly.

“The homeroom teacher wants you to go to the office.”

The young boy’s magnetic voice lingered in her ears. Perhaps it was because she was sleepy, but she felt that the voice was so soft that it entered her heart.

Two seconds later, she suddenly opened her eyes. “Ah?”

Go to the office?

Xi Mo’s long and narrow eyes glanced at her. With a smile that was not a smile, he said, “Did you sleep soundly?”

“Did the homeroom teacher say it personally?”

“Or else?”

“Okay… I’ll go now.”

The students would often joke around and trick their friends into going to the office. She had seen this kind of thing many times and thought that Xi Mo was lying to her. But thinking about it carefully, he should not be that bored.

The teacher-in-charge had indeed looked for her. Next Monday’s flag-raising ceremony was their class organization’s turn, and the matter of the national flag speech fell to Wen Hua.

After listening to the teacher-in-charge’s instructions, when she entered through the back door, Xi Mo happened to come over to throw the trash. With a clang, the milk in his hand fell into the rubbish bin in a perfect parabola.

When she returned to her seat, Wen Hua suddenly remembered that the milk was the bottle she had put into his desk box.

He threw it away without even looking at it.

Did he think it was a gift from his little fans?

Even if it was a gift from his little fans, he shouldn’t have thrown it away. At least it was someone else’s kind gesture.

He was really…

Just as she was feeling depressed, a calm voice said from behind, “I don’t know which enemy sent the expired milk to poison me.”

Wen Hua paused.

Yes, she took the milk from the freezer. It only had a shelf life of five days and had expired long ago.

Fortunately, he took a look at the date. Otherwise, she would have gotten into trouble if he had drunk it.

“Wen Hua, can I take a look at your physics exam paper? I lost quite a lot of marks on the last big question. Let me take a look at yours.” Shen Mu wore round-framed glasses and smiled gently at her.

“Ah, sure.” Wen Hua handed the paper to him.

Shen Mu stood by the side for a while. When she saw that Lu Yu was not around, she let him sit at Lu Yu’s seat.

“Take a look. If you have any questions that you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

Shen Mu sat face to face with her. The two of them were talking about difficult questions with a serious attitude, as if no one else could get involved.

After understanding a question, Shen Mu looked up in relief, but he inadvertently met a certain deep gaze.

Xi Mo leaned against the wall with his arms crossed in front of his chest. His gaze was hard to understand as he stared at the two people who were chatting happily.

From this angle, Wen Hua’s side profile was gentle. When she spoke to him, she did not seem to show such a relaxed and happy expression.

The darkness in his eyes deepened.

When Shen Mu saw him like this, his face was still warm. He then lowered his head to discuss the question with Wen Hua.

When it was almost time for class, he stood up and said, “I’ve delayed your rest time.”

“No, no, you’ve always taught me mathematics before. It’s my duty.”

Speaking of which, the mathematics he taught was really good. Relying on his guidance, she had made great progress. Although she was number one in the overall results, Shen Mu was not much lower than her. It was just that his physics and English subjects were slightly lower than hers.

Shen Mu smiled gently. “I bought a physics book with a lot of difficult questions. Can I come over to ask you after lunch?”

“Sure, I happen to be doing physics in the afternoon.”

After Shen Mu left, Xi Mo kicked her desk and said in a domineering tone, “Going to the library in the afternoon?”

Wen Hua was a little stunned.

Was he inviting her to go to the library together?

“Not today. I promised Shen Mu that we would do physics together. Let’s do it another day.”

Xi Mo’s tone was unfriendly. “Does he need you to teach him?”

“Not teach, but discuss with each other.”

When he returned from lunch in the afternoon, the moment he entered the door, he saw the two people whose heads were almost leaning against each other. With a cold expression, he pulled out their chairs and sat down.

The noise was too loud. Wen Hua, who was talking at the front table, paused for a moment before continuing to discuss with Shen Mu.

He held the bottle of mineral water that he had finished drinking in his hand. He exerted force with his knuckles and the bottle’s body deformed.

Wen Hua turned around. “Please lower your voice…”

Xi Mo’s pupils were indifferent. She met them and paused for a second.

She pursed her lips and said softly, “I won’t be able to concentrate when there’s noise around.”

Xi Mo’s expression was calm. He raised his hand and the bottle went into the trash can.

“Thank you.” She continued to work on the questions with Shen Mu.

The sound of a basketball was heard from outside the door. Xie Juan leaned against the back door of class one, followed by the tall boys.

“Brother Xi, come out and play!”

Xi Mo’s eyes were calm. “Play by yourself.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve played. I’m here specifically to play with you. Want to play two games? You’re not studying in the classroom. Even if you’re sitting, you’re still free.”

The underlings behind him echoed, “It’s not fun to play without you. Come on, Brother Xi.”

Xi Mo clicked his tongue and looked impatient. “I said I’m not going. Don’t bother me.”

Xie Juan’s eyes were filled with interest after being scolded by him. It was unusual for him to be so angry.

He looked in front of him and saw Wen Hua talking and laughing with another boy about the topic.

Xie Juan smiled and patted the basketball twice. “I won’t bother you then. Brothers, let’s go have fun.”

Fu Ming came out of the toilet and greeted them, but he did not see xi mo. “Old Xi isn’t coming?”

“He’s in a bad mood and doesn’t want to talk to us.”

“Alright, then we’ll go by ourselves.”

Seeing Fu Ming, someone suddenly thought of the scene in the classroom. “Your goddess is talking and laughing with Shen Mu from her class. Aren’t you going to take a look?”

Fu Ming frowned. “Just now?”

Xie Juan said indifferently, “You can see it even if you go now.”

Fu Ming cursed. “You guys go and fight. I’ll go and take a look.”

Another person was missing. Xie Juan’s lips curled into a smile. “Let’s go. The few of us will go and play.”

On the way back, Fu Ming scolded Shen Mu again. He wondered if he had been too unexpressive recently. How could he chase after people with such a buddhist style?

It seemed that he had to make more appearances in front of Wen Hua in the future to create opportunities for contact.
