Summer Green Apples

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Jiyang said, "I'm going to draw a circle to curse you, so I never want to be your deskmate again."

"Do you think I just want to be your deskmate?"

Sui Yu rolled her eyes.

Compared to their noisy deskmates, Ji Xiwen and Chi Sui were eerily quiet.

Even when the bald man finished explaining the last question and revealed that the answer was one-half, neither of them reacted much.

Instead, Xu Jiyang turned his head, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Awesome, Brother Sui Sui."

Chi was so disgusted by his advances that he yelled, "Get out!"

For a moment, I couldn't even write an English essay and just stared blankly at the essay book.

Ji Xiwen had been holding it in for most of the class, but finally couldn't resist asking in a low voice, "Can I do my homework for other subjects?"

After she finished speaking, she added, "I'm not trying to get close to you."

Chi Sui: "…………"

He paused for a moment, then nodded lazily: "Mm."

So Ji Xiwen confidently took out the geography test paper.

These are the test papers she bought herself.

"If there's anything you don't understand, let's ask each other." The bald man took a sip of goji berry water to moisten his throat, then looked in Sui Yu's direction. "Then calculate it, assign a score, and have the class representative collect them and bring them to my office after class."

Sui Yu nodded quickly.

People around were whispering among themselves.

As a result, the two people behind Sui Yu who were writing with their heads down became even more conspicuous.

The bald man screwed the bottle cap on, went out through the front door, and came back in through the back door.

I immediately noticed the geography test paper on Ji Xiwen's desk and the English essay on Chi Sui's desk.

He sneered, "Do either of you... even respect me? Not even a little bit."

A voice suddenly came from behind her, startling Ji Xiwen so much that she almost threw the black pen away.

The young master next to her was clearly more easily frightened than she was; the black pen in his hand flew out, and he uttered an uncivilized word: "Damn it..."

The whole class fell silent and turned to look at each other.

The bald man crossed his arms. "One writes geography, the other writes English..."

He gritted his teeth. "That kid Chi Sui has always looked down on me because of his good grades, which I can understand. But what's with you, new classmate? I'm giving you time to work on your mistakes, not to do other subjects' homework. Math is worth 150 points; don't you know how important that is?"

Ji Xiwen nodded: "I understand, I understand."

"Do you even know you're still writing geography here?"

Ji Xiwen opened her innocent and sincere eyes and said, "I don't have anything to tidy up."

The bald man had a sharp eye and spotted the math test paper on Chi Sui's desk at a glance. He sneered, "Let me see how many questions you got wrong before spouting nonsense."

As soon as he said that, everyone in the class held their breath.

After all, math teachers are the ones who change their attitude the fastest of all subjects.

Xu Jiyang subconsciously closed his eyes.

Chi calmly handed Ji Xiwen's test paper to the bald man.

The bald man glanced down and saw the bright red number 150.

He paused for a moment, looked at the two test papers repeatedly, and found that they were all correct.

His gaze instantly turned to surprise and suspicion as he looked at Ji Xiwen again.

The girl sat obediently in her seat, her hair tied in a high ponytail. Her hair was smooth and her skin was fair. Noticing his gaze, she pursed her lips and smiled, revealing two endearing dimples.

The bald man turned the exam paper back over and took a deep look at the name.

Ji Xiwen.

He put the test paper back on the table. "You can continue writing."

The moment he said that, the whole class was in an uproar. Unexpectedly, the bald guy didn't say anything and even told the new student to continue doing his geography homework.

"Wow, how many points did they get?"

Xu Jiyang, the most clueless of them all, craned his neck to take a look, and exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap... a perfect score... I'm speechless..."

After hearing this, Sui Yu gasped and glanced at the source.

The bald man clicked his tongue. "Keep working on the wrong answers, especially you, Xu Jiyang, who single-handedly dragged down the class average."

"..."

Xu Jiyang clasped his hands in a gesture of surrender and faced the worn-out exam paper again.

The bald man returned to the podium.

There were people in front of them who were openly or secretly turning their heads to look at Ji Xiwen.

On campus, grades are everything, sometimes even more talked about than handsome men and beautiful women.

Ji Xiwen felt a little embarrassed by the stares and subconsciously scratched her ear.

Chi noticed her movement and assumed she was scared.

After a long pause, a feeling of guilt arose.

For the first time, he offered words of comfort: "That's just how this class is. As long as you get good grades and high scores, you can do whatever you want."

Ji Xiwen's hand remained on her earlobe as she looked at him.

The morning sunlight was very warm, and when it fell on her clear eyes, they turned into a beautiful amber color.

She smiled and said politely, "Thank you."

Chi Sui thought expressionlessly.

As expected, thank you.

After class, Suiyu collected all the students' papers and handed them to the math teacher.

There are no secrets in the class. Within ten minutes of the break, almost everyone in the class knows that the new student got a perfect score in math.

However, since this was a weekend assignment, it's possible that they used cheats, searched online, or copied from others.

-

"This is weekend homework, who knows if it was copied? Besides, she and Chi Sui are deskmates."

The sounds coming from next door reached Ji Xiwen's ears in the restroom.

Her expression remained unchanged as she opened the door.

There is hand sanitizer next to the sink.

She squeezed out a little.

The girl continued, "Qianqian overestimates her. Look at how poor she is; she's probably a student from a mountainous or rural area. How can a student raised in such a remote place compare to us?"

"Alright, alright, we'll know her level after the monthly exam."

This voice is sweeter.

The sound of doors opening one after the other was heard.

Ji Xiwen saw the two people cricketing in front of her through the mirror in front of her.

One of them was a short-haired girl with a wheatish complexion, who was standing there awkwardly, clearly aware that she had been caught talking behind someone's back.

The other one was a pretty girl with an oval face, soft hair, and a ponytail that reached her waist.

The woman with the oval face paused for a moment, then walked to Ji Xiwen's side, squeezed out some hand sanitizer, and said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry, my friend is just a bit outspoken, please don't misunderstand."

"Misunderstand?"

Ji Xiwen turned off the tap. "What's the misunderstanding?"

Li Qian's smile froze. She had a pair of amber eyes, and at this moment she looked at Ji Xiwen with an ambiguous expression.

Ji Xiwen calmly asked, "Every sentence she just said was very clear in its meaning; she looked down on students from rural and mountainous areas. Was there any word or punctuation mark that needed to be misunderstood?"

Li Qian: "..."

Li Jiaojiao, standing nearby, became agitated. She said rudely, "I was the one who just spoke. Qianqian didn't say anything. Why are you being so mean to her?"
