Chapter 32 Distant Stars

Xu Wen didn't speak in a hurry. He followed Xia Ning silently and listened patiently.

"I originally thought that you were with Gu Xingruo, but when I found out that it wasn't the case, I didn't throw you away. Now I can't bear to throw you away." Xia Ning's tone gradually calmed down, and her face became less embarrassed.

Hearing this, Xu Wen immediately understood why this incident did not happen in his previous life.

At that time, he was supported by Gu Xingruo and was very high-profile in school.

Xia Ning was probably very sad after seeing this, and she simply threw away all the love letters she had written, so that her mother would not find out.

But this time, Xu Wen and Gu Xingruo just seemed to have a good relationship, and the most thing he did every day was studying.

"Actually, I didn't want to show it to anyone. I just wrote it for myself. I didn't want to show it to you." Xia Ning turned her head to look at Xu Wen. She finally dared to look him in the eye.

She looked free and calm, with a hint of coolness about her, completely different from her usual sweet girlish self.

"I wanted to write it down so that I could read it many years later and reminisce about my high school romance." Xia Ning helplessly spread her hands, "But my mom found out."

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Xu Wen finally spoke up: "All parents are like this. Even though they don't allow you to date now, when you graduate from college, they will want you to bring home a grandson."

He did not confront Xia Ning's feelings directly.

Now, whether to refuse or accept, it may not be good news for the girl.

Since Xia Ning has always chosen to have a crush on him and never let him know, it means that she is still unable to face this relationship.

Xu Wen chose to avoid the topic by joking.

"What about you? Do you want to fall in love now? I see that you and Gu Xingruo have a good relationship." Xia Ning asked without any hesitation.

"You and I are not from the same world. Love is too far away for me. I just want to study hard now."

It’s exciting to hear that the most beautiful girl in high school actually has a crush on you, right?

But Xu Wen found that his heart was still calm, and he didn't feel any excitement or happiness at all.

Xia Ning didn't ask any more questions. This one sentence was enough to make her understand a lot.

"Actually, after I knew you heard it, my first reaction was fear, and then I felt relieved." Xia Ning intertwined her fair and slender fingers, telling her inner thoughts.

To her, Xu Wen was like a distant star. She could see him shining, but she could never touch him.

That's why she kept this love hidden deep in her heart.

If it weren't for this accident, the deadline would have been forever.

"Don't think too much. The teacher is right. The most important thing for us next is to study hard. The college entrance examination is the most important." Xu Wen felt like a caring older brother.

He kept comforting the worried girl in front of him, telling her that she could put everything aside for now except the college entrance examination.

Then he said the wise words: "We can talk about the rest after we go to college."

Alas, I feel like my occupational disease has come back again.

Don't ask. If you ask, just wait until you go to college. If you ask again, you can't wait even for such a short time, right? I have always regarded you as a good friend.

It’s not that Xu Wen is a scumbag, he just thinks this is the best way to deal with it right now.

Otherwise it will easily affect Xia Ning's review state.

The two of them walked at a leisurely pace. Although the distance from the office to the classroom was long, they would eventually finish it.

Xia Ning finally said softly: "I know."

Xu Wen was already far ahead of her, and she would catch up with him as soon as possible.

Perhaps the girl's hidden thoughts will one day bear fruit?

"Then let's continue reviewing?" Xu Wen pointed to the classroom.

Years of experience with women told him that when encountering such things, playing dumb is the best solution.

In the past, he pretended to be stupid in order to get the rich ladies to pay him more money. Now, he pretends to be stupid in order not to affect Xia Ning’s study state.

Oh, he works so hard.

After shouting "Report", the two walked into the classroom together.

Fortunately, Zhou Xiaoji was the only sick teacher in the school.

Now that he was suspended and went home, no teacher would suddenly stop teaching because of a "report". Gu Xingruo was staring at the test paper in his hand in a daze.

Since the last mock exam, she rarely sleeps in class.

She adhered to the principle of "just listening first, no matter whether she could understand it or not" and endured the torture day after day.

Just when she was feeling a little sleepy, she was awakened by a sudden "report" sound at the classroom door.

When I looked up, I saw Xu Wen and Xia Ning walking into the classroom side by side.

Alarm bells instantly rang in Gu Xingruo's heart.

Xia Ning didn't come to class for a day, and when she came back it was with Xu Wen!

She has been a little worried recently because many people say that Xu Wen and Xia Ning look like a good match.

The two are a perfect match, one is first and the other is second, they look like the male and female protagonists in a romance novel.

Many people also said that Xia Ning wrote the petition to replace Zhou Xiaoji in order to protect Xu Wen.

After all, she got 145 points in math, so even if she did cheat, she wouldn't have to cheat much. There was really no reason for her to be the first to do so.

Gu Xingruo scoffed at this statement.

Isn't it just the second in the grade? What's so great about it? If she were... she really couldn't pass the exam, it would be a bit difficult for her.

Not to mention being second in the grade, being the second to last in Class 17 would be considered academic progress for her.

The more Gu Xingruo thought about it, the more depressed she became.

She didn't hear a word the teacher said in class, her head was full of thoughts about Xu Wen.

After finally waiting for the get out of class to end, she immediately ran to the front with the test paper.

It was because of her carelessness that she let him run away in the last class. This will never happen again this time!

"I don't understand this question. Can you explain it to me again?"

Xu Wen took the paper.

Ever since the first mock exam, the eldest daughter's interest in learning has increased. She comes to him with questions almost every day, and he has gotten used to it.

"Let me take a look." Xu Wen took the test paper and began to look at the questions.

He felt that he should charge more for tutoring. How could one give tutoring to others anytime and anywhere? There were not many teachers as dedicated as him.

While Xu Wen was looking at the paper, Gu Xingruo began to organize his words in his mind.

She was still thinking about him and Xia Ning, wondering what they had done after class.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone calling her outside the door.

"Sister Gu!"

Gu Xingruo had no intention of responding, but the person called out again, her voice getting louder: "Sister Gu!"

She didn't want to disturb the people around her from studying, so she frowned and stood up and walked towards the door.

"I'll go take a look." She said to Xu Wen before leaving.

"Go ahead."

Gu Xingruo arrived at the door, and those standing outside were all her usual friends.

Among these people there were both men and women. The boys reeked of cigarettes, while the girls wore tight school uniform pants that they had altered themselves and had heavy makeup on their faces, which was out of tune with the painting style of the students in Class 17.

She has been busy studying every day recently and has not paid attention to them for a long time.

"Sister Gu, it's my birthday tonight. I've booked a private room at the Imperial City KTV. Let's go out and have fun together." Li Jianxun, who had just called "Sister Gu" outside, spoke up.

"Come on, Sister Gu, we haven't gotten together for a long time." People around echoed.

In the past, Gu Xingruo might have gone with them, after all, nothing is more important than having fun.

But it's different now.

"Go away! Can't you see I'm studying hard?"

She refused on the spot!
