The sweet and gentle boy is actually crazy and bad.

"Why are you like this...?"

A cute pink blush rose on the girl's face, and the fine, soft downy hairs on her cheeks were also so alluring.

Wen Zhi swallowed hard, suppressing the filthy desire that was constantly swelling in his heart.

He was teasing her on purpose.

While gentle, good boys are certainly appealing, there's some truth to the saying, "Women don't love men who aren't a little bad."

He needs to be gentle, considerate, and cultured, but also have a touch of mischief.

He was truly wearing a complete mask, hiding all his hypocrisy and darkness as he seduced Wen Yisheng.

Huang Kailang assigned the seats:

"Painting by Ye He, Wei Lan."

"Thank you, Lin Chen."

"Xu Lang, Zhong Yue'er."

……

Huang Kailang explained, "Okay, we've arranged the seats this way to facilitate the one-on-one mentoring program. Those with higher rankings will sit together with those with lower rankings. For example, Wen Zhi is in first place and will mentor Wen Yisheng, who is in last place, and so on."

Wen Yisheng: I see...

But you really didn't have to use me as an example, okay? Ugh! How embarrassing.

Wen Yisheng has never been last in her class. She used to attend an ordinary public high school, where her grades were never below the top five in her grade.

Nanchuan is different; it gathers top-ranked students from across the country. It's fair to say that most of the students in that class will become future young elites in society. Wen Yisheng, in such a talent-rich class, appears rather lackluster.

I also felt a lot of pressure, and it was quite uncomfortable because I couldn't adjust to it for a while.

Someone nudged her with their elbow. Only her deskmate could do that.

Wen Yisheng looked at Wen Zhi with an unfriendly gaze, as if to say: What, don't touch me.

There was a notebook on Wen Zhi's desk with a line of text written on it. He moved it closer to her so she could see it.

It reads: Don't worry too much about the rankings, today is just the beginning of your life ^◡^.

There was a smiley face drawn on the back.

To be honest, that smile really does resemble Wen Zhi's. It exudes an innocent and gentle charm.

Wen Yisheng was taken aback, then felt a warmth in his heart. He was always so thoughtful.

She took the notebook and wrote: I must catch up with you!

Wen Zhihui: ? You want to pursue me? Ah Sheng is teasing her brother again?

Wen Yisheng bit her lip and quickly crossed out the sentence that had caused him to misunderstand: "It's about catching up with you in my studies."

Wen Zhi smiled and replied under her neat and beautiful handwriting: Quite ambitious. I'll wait for you to catch up with me, the person I'm helping.

The last period in the morning is a science and engineering class.

Wen Yisheng had previewed the material during the summer vacation and found it relatively easy.

The bell rang, and Huang Kailang tucked his books under his arm: "get out of class dismissed!"

Wen Yisheng tidied up her class notes, and Wen Zhi turned to look at her: "Let's go, let's have dinner together."

"No, I'll eat with the academic genius."

"She's a genius, so what am I?" There was a hint of jealousy in her voice.

Wen Yisheng thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're a male academic genius."

Wen Zhi raised his hand and poked her soft, white face: "You little rascal, you're so clever."

Wen Yisheng was startled. Luckily, no one saw it. She blushed and scolded him, "Brother Zhi, don't do this again. There's a difference between men and women, okay?"

She even started calling him Brother Zhi, just like Lu Zhizhou did.

Wen Zhi smiled innocently: "What, can't siblings touch each other's faces?"

Hearing this, he was speechless.

Holy crap!!

The two turned their heads at the same time. Lu Zhizhou stood outside the corridor window, looking at Wen Zhi and Wen Yisheng, who had become his deskmates, with a look of shock and indignation on his face.

"You two... are amazing! Damn, absolutely amazing!"

Wen Yisheng couldn't understand, so she took the opportunity to pull Ye Hehua to the cafeteria.

Lu Zhizhou watched Ye Hehua's retreating figure, muttering to himself in annoyance, "Fine, I'll honor my bet and keep my promise!"

Wen Zhi left the classroom and smiled gently: "Zhouzhou, how about we call off that bet?"

Lu Zhizhou clenched his fist, his expression saying, "You look down on me, you're not my brother."

"What do you mean 'let it go'? In this business, integrity is everything! Once the bet is made, there's no such thing as 'let it go'. I'll just have to make do with delivering breakfast to Dog Hair for half a month."

Wen Zhi paused, then laughed so hard his shoulders trembled: "Okay, okay, you're right. Whatever you say."

This kid's got a stubborn streak; he'll regret it later.

After finishing her meal in the cafeteria, Wen Yisheng went back to the classroom and dozed off for a while, but was woken up by the urge to urinate.

When he got up, he saw that the seat next to him was empty; Wen Zhi hadn't returned yet.

With twenty minutes to go before lunch break, Wen Yisheng went to the restroom first, and then walked to the office.

She was going to ask the teacher for accommodation.

To get to the office, you have to pass the basketball court. It's currently the long break between classes, and there are students playing a game on the court. Despite the blazing sun, there are quite a few students watching.

A series of young, carefree boys dribbled and dunked, sweating profusely. Wen Yisheng looked closely; Wen Zhi wasn't among them. They were all unfamiliar faces, probably senior students.

Wait a minute, why did she subconsciously want to see if Wen Zhi was there? Wen Yisheng was taken aback.

"Get out of the way!!"

Several shouts combined brought her back to her senses.

But it was too late. She looked up and saw a basketball hurtling towards her at high speed through the air.

boom! !

It hit Wen Yisheng squarely on the forehead!

Basketballs are light and bouncy, so hitting someone with one won't cause much damage. However, the force of a basketball hitting someone's head can cause them to fall backward.

Wen Yisheng saw stars after being hit.

Just as she was about to fall, a tall, slender figure in a black sports uniform ran over like an agile cheetah, wrapped his arms around her waist, and caught her steadily in his embrace.

Bang, bang, bang

The basketball bounced a few times on the ground.

Just like Wen Yisheng's heart, still in shock, pounding in her chest.

The boy had a cold expression and a cold voice. He hugged Wen Yisheng and asked, "Classmate, are you alright?"

"Can you still stand up on your own?"

"Yes!" Wen Yisheng snapped out of her daze, pushed the boy away and tried to stand up on her own, but before she could stand up straight, she felt dizzy again and almost fell to the ground.

Zhong Xu caught her again. "Are you feeling dizzy?"

Whistles and shouts erupted from the basketball court. Several boys in basketball uniforms teased, "Zhong Xu, the junior girl is dizzy from what you hit her with. Stop pretending to be serious, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and pick her up and take her to the infirmary!"

Zhong Xu frowned slightly and looked at Wen Yisheng: "Ignore them, I'll take you to the infirmary."

Meanwhile, in the first-year high school teaching building, Lu Zhizhou was leaning on the wall outside his classroom watching a basketball game.

"Hey, Brother Zhi and Lao Xie, wanna play some ball? I'm itching to get my hands dirty."

Wen Zhi said, "It's hot. I'm going back to the classroom."

Lu Zhizhou looked downstairs and suddenly shouted, "Holy crap! Brother Zhi, look! Xiao Shengsheng has been kidnapped by a man!"

He excitedly added, "They're all hugging each other!"

Wen Zhi stopped, glanced at Lu Zhizhou, and looked down at the railing.

The boy's emotions subsided.

When I saw Wen Yisheng hugging that dog of a man wearing a sports uniform.

His expression was as cold-blooded as that of some kind of animal, devoid of any warmth.
