Quick Transmigration: I Was Cannon Fodder But Became the White Moonlight

Chapter 19: Conquering the Cold and Violent School Bully

The lingering heat of summer had not yet completely dissipated, but the tense atmosphere of senior year had already subsided like an invisible tide, quietly engulfing every corner of the campus.

On the first day of school, the senior high school students, rubbing their sleepy eyes, walked into the classroom as the morning self-study bell rang. Almost everyone was startled awake by the scene before them.

Shen Que, who used to consistently nap at his desk during morning self-study sessions or simply disappear altogether, is now...

Reciting a text?!

He maintained his usual nonchalant posture, one elbow resting on the table, his palm supporting his cheek, his head slightly drooping, and fine black hair obscuring part of his eyebrows and eyes. From behind, he looked no different from when he was sleeping.

But if you listen carefully, you can hear a very low, continuous, and somewhat impatient buzzing sound, as if it is chanting lines from "Free and Easy Wandering" in a competitive manner.

The students around him were all pretending to read their own texts or words, but their eyes couldn't help but glance cautiously in that direction, exchanging incredulous looks.

Has the sun risen in the west?

Shen Que was actually reciting a text?

This is just the appetizer.

What happened even more jaw-droppingly occurred during the break after class.

Holding a difficult math problem, Chen Su turned around very naturally and gently tapped Shen Que's table.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire class, Shen Que, though frowning and with "trouble" written all over his face, still took the test paper, glanced at it a few times, picked up his pen, and scribbled a few lines on the draft paper.

Then, using his signature concise, almost stingy, language, he explained the problem-solving approach to Chen Su!

Explaining problems to Chen Su!?

Although his tone wasn't exactly friendly, and even carried a hint of disdain as if to say, "You don't even know this?", he was definitely explaining the problem!

The entire classroom seemed to have been muted, but then even louder whispers erupted.

"Holy crap! Am I seeing things?"

"Shen Que...is he explaining a problem to Chen Su?"

"Am I seeing things?"

"When did they become so close?"

"What exactly happened during the summer vacation? What possessed Shen Que?"

While everyone was puzzled, their eyes darted back and forth between Chen Su and Shen Que, filled with inquiry and curiosity.

This summer, something seemed to have happened that they were unaware of, something that was enough to change Shen Que.

Moreover, the natural interaction between him and Chen Su clearly went beyond the scope of ordinary classmates.

As school let out, this speculation reached its peak. Most students hurriedly packed their bags to leave, but Shen Que remained lazily leaning back in his chair, legs crossed, casually scrolling through his phone, showing no intention of leaving.

Chen Su, who was sitting at the desk in front of him, calmly tidied her books, zipped up her backpack, turned around, and said to him very naturally, "Let's go."

Shen Que didn't even lift his eyelids or respond, but the moment Chen Su finished speaking, he put away his phone, stood up briskly, and the two walked out of the classroom side by side.

The classroom was left with a group of students who were dumbfounded.

"Holy crap! The two of them...?"

"Something's definitely going on here!"

"I'm guessing... is she in a relationship?"

Some students lowered their voices and gossiped excitedly.

"No way...they don't seem like a good match at all, the age gap is too big..."

Some people expressed doubts, feeling that the combination of a well-behaved girl and a school bully was rather incongruous.

However, for the next week, Shen Que and Chen Su interacted in this way almost every day.

What shocked all the teachers and students even more was that Shen Que never missed a single class again!

Even in the most boring math and physics classes, he would sit quietly in the classroom, although he would spend most of his time playing on his phone or sleeping, but he was still there!

The teachers of all subjects noticed this change, and their eyes were filled with surprise and inquiry as they looked at Shen Que and Chen Su.

Finally, during a break between classes, as Chen Su was discussing a physics problem with Shen Que in the back row, a female classmate quietly approached and whispered in Chen Su's ear: "Chen Su, Teacher Guo wants you to go to the office."

Ms. Guo is their homeroom teacher.

Although Chen Su was a little confused, she still said to Shen Que, "I'll tell you when I get back."

Then he got up and left the classroom.

As she entered the office, Ms. Guo wore a complex expression that combined concern and embarrassment.

"Chen Su is here, please have a seat."

Teacher Guo pointed to the chair next to him.

Chen Su sat down obediently.

She first inquired about Chen Su's recent studies, as is customary, and then asked about her grandmother's health.

Chen Su answered them all politely.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ms. Guo adjusted her glasses, looked at the pretty, quiet, and academically excellent girl in front of her, and finally asked tactfully, "Chen Su, I was just asking... have you... started dating recently?"

Chen Su paused for a moment, then shook her head, her tone firm: "No, teacher."

Her relationship with Shen Que is closer than that of classmates, but it has not yet reached the point of "dating".

Ms. Guo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but her brows didn't completely relax. She said earnestly, "I know you've always been a sensible and sensible child. But now you're in your senior year of high school, the most crucial year. You absolutely cannot let anything distract you. Everything must revolve around the college entrance exam, understand? This is a very important turning point in your life..."

Chen Su listened quietly, and she had already vaguely understood the real reason why the teacher had called her here.

She simply nodded, offering no explanation.

Sure enough, Ms. Guo paused, lowered her voice even further, and added in a low voice with a hint of reminder, "Um... Shen Que, his family background is rather special. His parents mentioned when they came to the school to discuss things before that Shen Que planned to study in the United States after graduating from high school..."

Chen Su blinked, a slight thought stirring in her heart.

It turns out... if things had followed the original, unforeseen trajectory, Shen Que's future would have been to study in the United States.

That's great. With his intelligence and talent, his future on that broader platform will surely be very bright and glorious, just as Chen Su expected.

Teacher Guo didn't explain things too clearly, but Chen Su knew what the teacher was worried about.

It was simply because he was afraid she would fall into a fruitless relationship, which would ultimately affect his future.

Looking into her teacher's concerned eyes, she simply nodded calmly: "Thank you for telling me this, teacher. I understand, don't worry."

As Chen Su walked back to the classroom after leaving the office, her feelings were somewhat complicated, but not heavy.

Shen Que was going to the United States after the college entrance examination, but he never told her.

If he were to go to the United States, even without taking the college entrance exam, his extraordinary talent would undoubtedly lead to a bright future.

Knowing Shen Que's original plan only strengthened her resolve to help him avoid that tragedy.

_

Back in the classroom, Shen Que leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed as if taking a nap.

Hearing her approaching footsteps, he lazily lifted his eyelids and looked at her, his eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.

Chen Su met his gaze, a relaxed smile returning to her face, as if the conversation in the office had never happened.

She walked to her seat, turned to the side, and naturally continued the conversation she had started before leaving:

Where were we?
