Zhou Shixu! I clearly remembered he’d been the science top scorer in our college entrance exam that year!
Was it too late to cling to his thigh?
I hesitated, then spoke up:
"Um, Zhou Shixu, can I study with you?"
Zhou Shixu raised an eyebrow in surprise. Before he could respond,
Xiao Yuchen let out a sneer.
"The two of you scored 27 and 35—now you’re tutoring each other?"
That’s when I remembered—Zhou Shixu’s usual grades were terrible.
He was last in the class, and I was second to last.
We were the two biggest underachievers in the academic world.
Wait, no—I distinctly remembered he’d been a dark horse in the college entrance exam last life.
I picked up the test paper on Zhou Shixu’s desk and examined it closely. I found he only answered the multiple-choice questions, and his answers followed a strange pattern:
All As in math, all Bs in English, all Cs in the science comprehensive exam...
Was he really that reckless?
I looked carefully at the boy leaning back in his chair, legs crossed, chomping on the jianbing guozi.
I realized—he was even more handsome than Xiao Yuchen!
He wasn’t wearing the school uniform, just a white T-shirt. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating his sharp side profile.
Feeling my gaze, Zhou Shixu curved his lips into a bold, unrestrained smile. The mole at the corner of his eye seemed to glow.
At that moment, an untimely voice rang out:
"Song Wanning, I can tutor you."
I turned around to see Xiao Yuchen staring down at me with a condescending look, speaking arrogantly and disdainfully.
"Wait, why haven’t you left yet?"
