The aloof school beauty has been reborn and is now pursuing me relentlessly.

Lin Ran's intention was not to cause trouble for the school beauty's deskmate.

But I didn't expect it.

After demonstrating their true abilities, the trouble turned on them.

"Lin Ran, I don't know how to do this question."

"Do you have time to help me with this history subjective question?"

Is this a polyphonic character? I forgot.

Why is the answer to this multiple-choice question C?

I won't bother with tutoring or answering your questions.

Ironically, during this process, he patiently and carefully analyzed and explained things to his classmate, the school beauty sitting next to him.

But I always inexplicably felt that the other person's gaze and attention were not on the exam paper.

Every now and then, I vaguely feel as if there is a pair of beautiful eyes watching my face with great interest.

Whenever he suddenly looked up.

Yet, they never noticed anything. The school beauty's deskmate had a cool and aloof expression, seemingly focused on the exam paper, as if she hadn't lost focus at all.

And then he continued explaining the topic.

That feeling of being spied on and watched immediately returned...

Then suddenly look up!

And we found nothing again.

Instead, the school beauty's deskmate looked up at her, her expression cool yet carrying a hint of innocent inquiry.

"what happened?"

"Aren't you going to continue?"

Lin Ran: "...It's nothing."

……

This bizarre and inexplicable situation continues.

Tonight, my classmate, the school beauty, seemed to be filled with a strong thirst for knowledge, endlessly handing me questions and test papers:

"Lin Ran, take a look at this."

"And this—"

"this--"

When the school beauty's deskmate sent her eleventh humble request for help that evening, someone finally lost their temper and pointed to the beginning of the exam paper:

This is the student ID number section!

【You're asking how to fill in the student ID number?!】

"Oh, I misread it." The campus belle of Su University flipped the test paper over without batting an eye and pointed to another question: "Then take a look at this one."

Lin Ran: "..."

He stared at his classmate, the school beauty, with a dark expression.

The latter, however, remained calm and composed, as if nothing was amiss.

Lin Ran was convinced.

Helpless, I picked up my pen, ready to write and draw on the test paper to explain to my classmate, who was the school beauty.

Just as he reached for the pen on the table, the campus belle of Suzhou University also reached for a pen, seemingly wanting to hand it to Lin Ran.

Their fingers touched unintentionally.

then.

It's probably because of inertia that the car couldn't stop.

The campus belle of Suzhou University grasped Lin Ran's fingers precisely and unexpectedly.

……

The atmosphere froze in time.

A cool and soft touch came from my fingers.

Lin Ran looked up, a question mark on her face, at her deskmate, the school beauty.

The latter appeared completely unperturbed and calm.

"You arrested the wrong person."

I wanted to give you the pen—

Lin Ran looked down at her fingers, which were still being held by the other person:

"Why don't you loosen it up now?"

The campus belle from Soochow University nodded: "Okay."

Then, with a calm and collected expression, he released his hand.

The little person inside me is grinning from ear to ear:

Oh dear, Su Qingyan, how could you be so careless?

[To be continued next time!]

……

The last whole self-study period.

Lin Ran spent almost all his time tutoring his classmate, the school beauty, with her homework.

Finally, the school bell rang.

Sweating profusely, someone breathed a long sigh of relief, realizing that tutoring the school beauty's deskmate felt even more exhausting than doing ten practice tests himself...

Seeing that her classmate, the school beauty, seemed still not satisfied, she turned around and picked up another set of past exam papers, intending to hand it to her:

"Oh, and this too—"

Lin Ran immediately jumped up as if he had a spring in his butt:

School's out!

"Go home, go home!"

next second.

Someone moved with unprecedented efficiency, sweeping their textbooks and homework into their backpack in the blink of an eye, tossing the backpack behind them with a flick of the strap, and simultaneously flipping their chair over onto the desk—

The entire set of movements was performed smoothly and seamlessly.

Su Qingyan was momentarily distracted.

They discovered that Lin Ran had already slipped out of the classroom through the back door like an arrow, carrying his schoolbag on one shoulder.

Seeing someone flee like that, she almost burst out laughing.

Silly boy, why are you running so fast?

I'm not going to eat him anyway~

As Su Qingyan quickly finished packing her schoolbag and prepared to follow Lin Ran, she was unexpectedly stopped from behind:

"Su, wait a minute—"

Su Qingyan subconsciously stopped and turned around to look.

But then they saw Zhou Hua, the class's English representative, walking briskly over.

This was the same boy who took the opportunity during the afternoon class meeting when the homeroom teacher, Liu Chun, was reprimanding Lin Ran, and was the first to ridicule and mock Lin Ran in various ways.

Su Qingyan frowned slightly, realizing that her delay might cause her to fall behind Lin Ran. Her mood wasn't very pleasant, and her expression returned to its usual cold and aloof state.

"What's up?"

But when he saw that the campus belle of Suzhou University actually stopped and waited for him.

Zhou Hua's face immediately lit up with joy, but he quickly changed his expression and spoke earnestly:

"I wanted to give you some advice."

"Although the homeroom teacher assigned you the task of tutoring Lin Ran's studies."

"But with a poor student like Lin Ran, it's useless to waste time on him. Spending too much energy on him will only affect your own college entrance exam preparation."

"I think you should just leave him alone."

He thought he had spoken very sincerely and considerately, and at the end, Zhou Hua added:

"If you feel it's difficult to explain to the teacher, I can help you with the explanation."

Done.

Zhou Hua felt even more pleased with himself for his impeccable manners and smugness.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhou Hua's words, Su Qingyan frowned again, and her expression grew even colder:

"Am I familiar with you?"

Ok?

Zhou Hua was taken aback for a moment, somewhat at a loss for words at this unexpected question:

"I--"

Su Qingyan interrupted her again, speaking in an even colder tone:

"Let me correct you, it wasn't a task assigned to me by my homeroom teacher."

"I took the initiative to ask Lin Ran to tutor me."

"besides--"

Su Qingyan paused here, her gaze sweeping coldly over Zhou Hua in front of her:

"My affairs are none of anyone else's business."

"We're just classmates. I hope you'll be mindful of boundaries and respect your role as classmates."

"I don't want to hear those words again."

After saying that, she ignored the other person, picked up her schoolbag, turned around, and walked out of the back door of the classroom.

Zhou Hua snapped out of his daze, a surge of resentment and indignation welling up within him. In his anger, he blurted out:

"But...but you and Lin Ran are just classmates!"

Su Qingyan paused for a moment.

Turn around.

He glanced at the other person with a detached look:

"Different."

"He and I were deskmates."
