Chapter 27 I have no plans to get married yet
Lu Zhaoye released Xu Qingwan's foot, then unfolded the note the girl had handed him.
"Thank you for the assignment, but I haven't understood it yet. Let me look at it for a while longer."
There's another line of smaller text below, which appears to have been added later.
"Stop touching my feet, if someone sees... that won't do."
Lu Zhaoye stared in disbelief at the highly ambiguous content. What are you babbling about?
He felt that he and Xu Qingwan hadn't really spoken a word to each other lately.
Thinking back carefully, ever since Hsu Ching-wan suddenly appeared at the Dean's Office on Monday morning, the girl's relationship with him had become somewhat strange.
Every time I looked at her, she was either blushing or awkwardly passing me a little note.
Lu Zhaoye shook his head. "Xiao Chunan, you're really going through puberty and wanting things, aren't you? How could you be so presumptuous as to make such a wrong guess about the girls' high school!"
Turning my head to look, I saw the girl blushing and awkwardly handing me a small note.
Damn it, Xiao Chunu, I knew I couldn't have guessed wrong. I really need to teach you a lesson.
Lu Zhaoye took the note and continued to unfold it.
"Please don't sleep anymore, okay? The placement exam is coming up soon, you need to do your best. >o<."
Wow, she even knows emoticons! Xiao Chunu knows quite a lot.
Lu Zhaoye smiled and turned his head to look again. He suddenly felt that Xiao Chunu, who looked a little timid, was quite cute.
Huh? No, why are you handing me another little note?
Lu Zhaoye suddenly understood why so many people like opening blind boxes; the feeling of the unknown... it's definitely something to look forward to.
"I didn't understand the second solution you explained in math class. Could you explain it to me during the third period, PE class?"
Lu Zhaoye was stunned. He flipped through all the slips of paper and checked them. The slips of paper had no date, were crooked, and were filled with only two words.
"want to."
Lu Zhaoye never expected that he would be the one to have a beautiful girl explain the problem to him.
He put away the note, looked at Xu Qingwan who was full of anticipation and nervousness, and nodded righteously.
Baby, wait for me.
"..."
A class passed quickly; it was just a Chinese class. I glanced at the text, dozed off, and the time was over in the blink of an eye.
Lu Zhaoye gradually got used to Xu Qingwan's feet moving around him, and he slowly fell asleep again.
If the kitten moves too much, Lu Zhaoye will subconsciously press it down, and the timid kitten will not dare to resist.
Lu Zhaoye frowned and opened his eyes only after he heard a strong resistance coming from beside his feet.
He looked up and around; only he and Xu Qingwan were left in the classroom.
"Is it time for PE class already?"
Lu Zhaoye continued to lie on the table, turning his head to the side and speaking lazily.
With no one else around, Xu Qingwan became much bolder and responded to Lu Zhaoye.
The afternoon sun was bright, shining through the window onto the boy, softening and clearly outlining the jawline of his profile. His long eyelashes trembled in the warm light, and even the air seemed to slow down.
Why didn't Fatty and the others call me?
Lu Zhaoye looked at the girl who was in a daze and murmured something.
"Those two bastards, they don't even call on me for PE class anymore."
Xu Qingwan pursed her lips, adjusted her round-framed glasses, and spoke slowly.
"The chubby classmate wanted to call you, but the skinny classmate said you needed to be alone with Lingzhu, and then left."
"?"
"What spirit pearl?"
Lu Zhaoye didn't understand. He felt that the two of them had been acting strangely lately.
"Forget about them."
Lu Zhaoye shook his head, sat up, grabbed a stool, and moved next to Xu Qingwan.
It smells so good!
This was Lu Zhaoye's first reaction; for a moment, the fragrance made him almost forget what the world was like.
"What do you want?"
Xu Qingwan blushed and was very nervous, wondering why Lu Zhaoye had suddenly sat down next to her.
"want!"
Lu Zhaoye said unconsciously in a daze, but he came to his senses the next second and quickly added a sentence.
"Didn't you want me to explain the problem to you? Let's do it now."
"oh oh."
Xu Qingwan nodded blankly and took out the exercise book she had prepared beforehand from under the table.
Lu Zhaoye took the exercise book and swallowed hard, his throat feeling a little dry.
"Then I'll tell you from the beginning, okay? Listen carefully."
Xu Qingwan nodded, sat up straighter, and placed her hands obediently on her lap.
But Xu Qingwan immediately sensed something was wrong and asked softly,
"Lu Zhaoye, why are you talking about the first method?"
Lu Zhaoye stopped, raised his eyes, and asked, "You've learned the first method?"
Xu Qingwan paused for a moment, then stammered, "I think... I've learned it."
Lu Zhaoye's lips curled slightly as he placed his hand on the table.
"Then you haven't learned it yet, and that won't do."
Xu Qingwan didn't speak. There were indeed some parts she didn't understand, but...
"That's taking up too much of your time. Just tell me about the second method."
Lu Zhaoye was stunned. He considered many possibilities, but he never expected that Xu Qingwan was thinking of him.
"It's nothing. If you hadn't been poking me awake with your foot these past few days, wouldn't I have wasted even more time?"
"Besides, telling you this will also deepen my understanding, so frankly, I should thank you."
Lu Zhaoye said with a smile, "That's the truth."
You can only truly say you understand a problem if you can explain it to someone completely and comprehensively.
If you only give a vague and perfunctory explanation of the problem, then you haven't actually learned it at all, and you will still make the same mistake the next time you encounter a similar problem.
This method is actually very common, but it is somewhat uncommon in the context of Class 7, Grade 11.
Xu Qingwan whispered a thank you, her eyes bright, then suddenly said something else.
"I've noticed you haven't had any water all afternoon. Are you thirsty?"
The girl suddenly pulled a large bottle of strong liquor from her desk and handed it over.
Lu Zhaoye was stunned. He never expected that a sweet and soft-looking girl would buy such a large bottle of beverage.
"Here... you can have this..."
Xu Qingwan's eyes were very clear, and there was a hint of expectation in them.
"I noticed that you boys all like this, so I bought it..."
"?"
Lu Zhaoye took the large bottle and was even more incredulous. The baby was actually bought for him?
The value of a Lao Da (a type of traditional Chinese liquor) is self-evident, and the Lao Da given to you by a beautiful girl is even more so.
I have mistakenly entered the Heavenly Palace; I urge you to lay down the sand in my hand.
"..."
"Why did you buy me a drink? Class monitor, you don't happen to like me, do you?"
Lu Zhaoye made a joke, but he was also a little flustered. Such ambiguous behavior was not appropriate now.
Baby, we haven't talked about values or family background yet, Damian Damian.
"You...you're talking nonsense...how could I..."
Xu Qingwan was incredibly naive; upon hearing Lu Zhaoye's words, she immediately blushed deeply.
"I just wanted to thank you for showing me my homework yesterday..."
Seeing this, Lu Zhaoye breathed a sigh of relief and quickly patted his chest as if to relax.
"That's good. I was so scared I cried. I thought I was getting married at only seventeen."
Xu Qingwan didn't dare to respond, or rather, she didn't know how to respond, but she was muttering to herself.
You clearly like me, and I was just helping you out. If you want to pursue me, you can't keep hiding it like this.
"Class monitor, you're holding your pen upside down."
The boy's voice came again, and Xu Qingwan's pupils dilated. She quickly glanced at her pen. Wasn't it not reversed?
Lu Zhaoye suddenly called out again.
"Oops, I'm holding my pen upside down."
Xu Qingwan was amused by the boy's funny voice, and her little face trembled.
"Okay, listen carefully now."
Lu Zhaoye tapped Xu Qingwan on the head and said seriously.
"Even if you like me, you'll have to wait until you get into the advanced class before you can talk about it."
"Ugh...you...you're talking nonsense again," Xu Qingwan pouted and said angrily.
"..."
