She was startled and quickly shook her head, driving the shadow of that person from her mind.
She must have been crazy!
What she was looking for was a top-student boyfriend, okay!
Not a duck boyfriend!
"Tong Mo!" Because her shaking head was so exaggerated, Master Extinction immediately grabbed her, glaring at her through the lenses with a fierce intensity, "What are you shaking your head for? Do you have a complaint about me? Let me tell you, if you score single digits in every subject on next week’s test again, you will roll out of this classroom to attend the lessons!"
To Master Extinction, poor students were always treated as a scourge.
"Got it..." Tong Mo replied in despair, inwardly cursing "Li Zijue" through eighteen generations; if he hadn’t suddenly appeared before her eyes, she wouldn’t have shaken her head.
And she wouldn’t have been caught red-handed by the homeroom teacher!
Tong Mo was so frustrated she felt itchy in her teeth.
"Chun Mo, you should study hard from now on. Gu Zhihan and I can teach you if you don’t understand," Luo Mengmeng said to her with a sympathetic glance.
With no tears left to cry, Tong Mo lamented, "Why am I so unlucky!"
She didn’t want to study at all!
In fact, Tong Mo truly lacked the talent for studying; she couldn’t understand what the teachers explained.
Even when Luo Mengmeng explained, she still didn’t understand...
Even the direct interventions from top students like Gu Zhihan and Jiang Yibai were useless, as they looked at her with "I’ve given up on you" expressions.
Her face burning red, Tong Mo quickly picked up her book and ran back to her seat, "Um, I, I’d better not have you teach me."
In truth, they felt it a torture to teach her, but she felt equally tormented as well.
Seeing her leave, Luo Mengmeng looked after her worriedly, "Then, what are you going to do about next week’s test?"
"Just wing it... If I have to stand outside for the class, then I’ll stand; the air outside is fresher anyway." Perhaps because of the utter despair, Tong Mo had totally accepted her fate.
Luo Mengmeng was taken aback, "That kind of makes sense..."
The air outside was indeed cleaner than that in the classroom.
On the way home from school, Tong Mo still couldn’t help feeling depressed, pushing her bicycle and kicking pebbles on the ground.
Not far away, Li Zijue, who had just finished business nearby, didn’t expect to run into Tong Mo again, and promptly strode over to her.
Seeing her in what appeared to be a bad mood, he couldn’t help raising an eyebrow and asking, "What’s wrong?"
Was she bullied by friends at school?
When Tong Mo saw this persistent nuisance again, she gave him an annoyed roll of her eyes, "It’s all thanks to you!"
"Blame me?" Li Zijue was utterly confused, not understanding what she was talking about, "What did I do to deserve blame?"
Bottling up her frustrations, Tong Mo didn’t think twice before venting them, "It’s because you suddenly popped into my mind during class. I tried to shake you out of my thoughts, and just then, Master Extinction saw it and thought I had some issue with her. She even threatened that if I score single digits again next week, I’ll have to leave the classroom for my lessons!"
The more Tong Mo talked, the angrier she became, and she couldn’t help but punch him, "You see, it’s your fault, isn’t it!"
"How can you blame this on me?" Li Zijue laughed helplessly, catching her fist, "Clearly, you were thinking of me, that’s all."
"Who... who was thinking of you!"
"According to the ’True Fragrance’ theory, if you weren’t thinking about me, how could I have appeared in your thoughts?"
