My Little Girl (91)
Shu Nuan was going to plan when it’d be appropriate to travel to the w.a.n.gyue Forest, but Sheng Qianmo had already decided for her . Knowing she had the next day off, he pushed back his schedule, so he could spend a whole day with her .
When Shu Nuan learned about that from Li Yuan, she was quite pleased .
Later at school, she b.u.mped into Su Hai and took the initiative to greet him . He stood up some stairs from her and said with pretense, “Seeing you in Cla.s.s 9, elder brother, I beg for your pardon!”
“…”
Speechless, Shu Nuan turned around and left quickly .
Su Hai jumped down the stairs and caught up . He asked, “How does it feel to be in Cla.s.s 1?”
“Not good,” Shu Nuan gave an honest reply .
He stared at her with widened eyes and said, “Come on, what’s the matter with you? It’s the same Cla.s.s 1 all the students are cramming their heads bursting to enter!”
Shu Nuan gazed at him and said, “I made it, and my head is fine . ”
Su Hai was stunned until he realised what she’d meant . He couldn’t help but burst out laughing, thinking how Shu Nuan was always indifferent, but knew how to make a joke .
Arriving at the end of the hallway, Shu Nuan waved to him and said, “I’m going to cla.s.s . ”
When inside, a male cla.s.smate came over to ask Wen Zhigu a question . Her expression remained detached, but she calmly helped him with his question . Not long after, when the bell rang, Ji Xubai actually entered through one of the large windows, much to everyone’s surprise . His face was hostile as he threw his books onto his table .
The cla.s.s held their breath collectively . They could all see that Master Ji was in a bad mood, and so no one dared to act rashly .
Ji Xubai walked over to the young man who Wen Zhigu had just helped, and he picked up the notebook on his table . After turning over two pages with Wen Zhigu’s familiar handwriting on it, he stared at it for a few seconds . Then he tore it down, lifted his gaze, and called out with a cold voice, “Wen Zhigu . ”
Wen Zhigu stood up .
“Come to the front and explain this topic,” Ji Xubai ordered .
Wen Zhigu stood silent at the table for a moment, and then said, “I will not . ”
“You will,” Ji Xubai declared, his tone still aggresive .
Wen Zhigu was silent and walked over to the front of the cla.s.s .
All the students could see that ever since Wen Zhigu’s performance had shown a decline in the last examination, Master Ji had found fault with her from time to time, intentionally making trouble for her . This kind of behavior made them all vigilant, and so they dared not let their own results worsen .
While Wen Zhigu was lecturing, Ji Xubai took her seat and turned over her notebook . He propped up his temples with his hands, lazily setting his eyes on the seatmate . But Shu Nuan was very attentive in cla.s.s and wouldn’t be disturbed . Even though Ji Xubai was sitting next to her, Shu Nuan was calm and focused .
Ji Xubai frowned and tapped on the writing in her notebook, asking in a light voice, “It’s beautiful . Do you usually practice writing?”
Shu Nuan held the brush still for a moment, and replied, “Sometimes . ”
But just then, Ji Xubai’s voice turned harsh .
“If you won’t listen carefully in cla.s.s, go stand outside . ”
“…”
Silent, she turned her head and glanced at Ji Xubai . But his expression was still cold, and he repeated, “Go out . ”
Shu Nuan took a breath, put down the brush, and got up and left .
Wen Zhigu stood at the front for nearly half the cla.s.s . Finally, she looked at Ji Xubai and said in a humble manner, “Master, I’m not comfortable . ”
Seeing that she was being submissive, Ji Xubai felt a little better . He knew she wasn’t healed yet, and it was difficult for her to stand for long periods . So he let Wen Zhigu return to her seat .
