Summer Green Apples

The school bell rang.

Li Li entered the classroom through the front door while tidying up the bees.

Ji Xiwen turned to look at Chi Sui and gently nudged his shoulder. "Chi Sui, class is starting."

Chi Sui was actually not asleep.

But I don't want to move.

He opened his eyes and glanced at Ji Xiwen.

She withdrew her hand after seeing him open his eyes. "It's good that you're awake."

"……Um."

He changed his position again, facing the wall.

It switched back after a few seconds.

Through her blurry vision, she was looking down as she sorted out the test papers.

She has a very pure and beautiful face, with a delicate and straight nose.

He seems to have a very good temper, but deep down he's as stubborn as a mule.

This kind of person managed to save himself from that dilapidated, isolated, and backward little village through learning.

He's much better than him.

……

Chi Sui was not in a good mood all day.

Ji Xi asked him twice but got no answer, so she stopped bothering with him.

The weather is getting colder every day.

The autumn sports meet will be held in late October and will last for three days.

The pre-event promotion started two weeks in advance, so this Thursday, Qu Ziyi went to a meeting after dinner.

The good news was announced during evening self-study.

The class was instantly in an uproar.

Qu Ziyi is particularly enthusiastic and has a bit of a performing spirit. He always becomes the star of the show during sports meets.

Because the prizes at Pingzhong's sports meet are quite generous, many people come to him to register.

Easy events are attracting a lot of people eager to sign up, while long-distance running is met with indifference.

Friday afternoon break.

As Sui Yu went to the restroom with her girlfriends, Qu Ziyi quickly sat down in her seat and turned to look at Ji Xiwen.

Ji Xiwen, who was discussing a problem with Zhang Qingyan across the aisle, stopped in her tracks upon seeing his expression. "What's wrong?"

Xu Jiyang and Chi Sui, who were chatting nearby, also stopped.

All four of them stared at Qu Ziyi.

He smiled. "Would you like to be a referee? There's a prize—a voice recorder."

Ji Xiwen was stunned.

"Qu Ziyi, what do you mean by this?" Xu Jiyang asked casually. "A bunch of people in the class are vying to be the referee, and you said you'd think about it some more. Are you just going to let our top student be the referee right now?"

"Yeah, right." Qu Ziyi smiled nonchalantly. "After all, I've been working diligently for so long, I should definitely have some special privileges."

Class committee members almost all have special privileges.

The class monitor has a close relationship with the homeroom teacher, and the subject representatives also tend to have a better relationship with their respective teachers.

It's like a small-scale officialdom.

"Is that what I meant?"

Xu Jiyang clicked his tongue. "I wanted to ask, do you like our little genius?"

Chi then pulled a box of bubble gum from the drawer of the table, broke open the lid, and slowly ate a piece.

Xu Jiyang took one directly.

Then he handed it to Ji Xiwen, smiled, and said, "Little sister, have some."

"..."

Ji Xiwen was already quite embarrassed, and his shout made her even more embarrassed.

Looking down, I saw it was strawberry-flavored chewing gum again.

Chi Sui really is a strawberry fanatic.

"I'm not eating anymore," she said, pushing the food away.

Qu Ziyi looked at her, smiled, and said, "I'll eat."

Xu Jiyang handed it to him and urged, "Quickly answer my question."

Just as Qu Ziyi was about to take the bottle of bubble gum, a hand suddenly reached out from the side.

Chi Sui snatched her things back and kicked Xu Jiyang under the table, saying, "Have you no shame? Did I tell you to move?"
