Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

Strictly speaking, it's more accurate to say that Chen Xi knew the other person than that they knew each other; Chen Xi hadn't said a single word to them.

The two seemed to avoid each other at school.

One is her absolute academic achievement, and the other is her absolute good looks.

"Classmates, let me introduce you to our new classmate, Zhang Wanyi."

"She used to be in the class next door, which is Class 5. I think many of you have heard of her."

"Her score in this monthly exam just met the promotion criteria for our advanced class."

The top-performing class has only 30 seats, but its selection criteria are not limited to the top 30 students in the grade.

Instead, it was done in two steps: first, a cutoff score was set.

Only those who meet the criteria can enter the candidate pool, and then the top 30 are ranked from the candidate pool based on their scores.

The cutoff score was set very high. Even if Lin Fan hadn't disappeared, and with Zhang Wanyi adding up to only 29 people today, it still wouldn't have been enough to reach 30.

This demonstrates the stringency of the standards.

At this moment, all eyes in the class turned to Zhang Wanyi.

Chen Xi was no exception.

To his surprise, Zhang Wanyi seemed to smile at him after scanning the classroom.

Is it just an illusion?

After all, they hadn't even exchanged a single word.

Chen Xi even suspected that Zhang Wanyi might not even know what she looked like, but had only heard of the name Chen Xi, the academic genius.

Just like many people have only heard of the title of "school beauty" but have never actually seen her in person.

Zhang Wanyi has a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes. These eyes look at even dogs with deep affection, easily leading to one of the three great illusions in life.

She likes me!

Then, as usual, Zhang Wanyi gave a brief self-introduction, and everyone applauded, with the class monitor leading the way in welcoming them.

"You sit in that seat."

Teacher Li pointed to the empty seat next to Chen Xi.

"Three days earlier..."

Chen Xi looked at Zhang Wanyi walking over and whispered something.

According to the normal procedure, the process of advancing from the regular class to the rocket class will begin three days later.

and......

Normally, Zhang Wanyi would never become his deskmate. This matter has nothing to do with Lin Fan, because the school wants to ensure that he, as the top student, will not have any problems before the college entrance examination.

If Zhang Wanyi is assigned as my deskmate, the school will definitely worry that I might be at risk of dating.

But judging from what happened yesterday, they are more worried about becoming obsessed with studying, so they are using this new deskmate to distract themselves.

"I won't say anything more. Some of you were classmates with Zhang Wanyi before, so you all know each other and aren't strangers."

"Alright, now take out the test papers we were given yesterday and let's check our answers."

"Chen Xi, you and Zhang Wanyi are looking at the same test paper. You left early yesterday, so I gave yours to her."

"it is good."

After a brief response, the first math class began.

Zhang Wanyi took out the exam paper and placed it on the left side of the center of the table, which was closer to Chen Xi.

"No need to be so polite."

Chen Xi was somewhat surprised. Was this school beauty's character as good as her looks?

Generally speaking, people who are too good-looking tend to have bad tempers, because the people around them are naturally more tolerant of them.

"It's okay, you're new to this test paper, take a closer look."

Zhang Wanyi said politely.

"All right."

Chen Xi gave a brief reply and reluctantly began to look at the exam paper.

He wasn't really in the mood to look at the test paper right now, and since he hadn't done it yesterday, the teacher was unlikely to ask him any questions.

I had intended to use this class to quickly review the events of yesterday in my mind, but since the other person had already said that, it would be very impolite for me to just stand there in a daze.

Now I can only follow the teacher's pace step by step and slowly browse through these questions.

Time just passed by one minute after another.

Although Chen Xi doesn't have eyes on the back of his head, he can still feel a lot of stares.

However, they were almost all just glanced at and didn't linger for long.

The allure of beautiful women is truly extraordinary.

It also reminded him of a famous saying: the most common color in the world is yellow.

The front of the test paper was relatively simple, mostly multiple choice questions, and since we were in the advanced class, we passed it quickly.

Swish swish.

The sound of neatly turning over the dough echoed from the classroom, like waves, orderly and rhythmic.

"Chen Xi, I heard you're pretty good at tennis."

Zhang Wanyi suddenly spoke up out of the blue.

"It's alright."

Chen Xi was somewhat surprised by this turn of events, but didn't think much of it and casually replied.

"Quite modest."

"Then...can you teach me how to play tennis?"

Ok?

These words made Chen Xi shift her gaze from the exam paper to Zhang Wanyi's face.

The other person looked at me and seemed to be smiling.

Because of her peach blossom eyes, even when she has no expression, she looks like she's smiling, so Chen Xi wasn't sure.

But it really does look good.

Taking the initiative to ask someone out is generally an act of expressing affection.

Chen Xi was academically gifted, good-looking, and had a great figure. She received many love letters during her three years of high school and it wasn't the first time she had been asked out by a girl.

More than panic, there was astonishment.

Surprised that Zhang Wanyi, who wasn't easy to approach, would take the initiative to ask him out.

And it's so simple, direct, and brutal.

This doesn't seem to fit her image as an ice queen.

So, she likes boys with good grades?

Chen Xi made a judgment subconsciously.

However, he really isn't in the mood for dating right now.

Tennis, in particular, is even more annoying.

He was in pain every day until he figured out what happened to Lin Fan; he simply couldn't let go of this matter.

Just as Chen Xi was about to refuse.

Zhang Wanyi spoke first:

Before you answer, you might want to take a look at my answer to the last big question.

Is that your last big question?

The last big question was the hardest; even if my thoughts didn't get stuck, it would still take me more than ten minutes to write it.

But the answer is simply a number.

Is there anything special about it?

Chen Xi glanced at the bottom right corner of the test paper. When he saw the answer to the last big question on Zhang Wanyi's test paper, he was frozen in place for a few seconds, as if he had been grabbed by a snake woman.

Zhang Wanyi's answer to the last question wasn't a number at all, but a sentence.

"I know where Lin Fan is!"

"so......"

Zhang Wanyi's voice rang out at just the right moment:

"Can you teach me how to play tennis?"
