Hearing this, Jiang Yiniing looked toward Tang Li and Fu Si, who were sitting together.
Unlike her mood of watching a play just now, her heart ached like being pricked by a needle as she watched how Fu Si was close to Tang Li.
Especially when she realized Fu Si wasn’t bad-looking at all.
Compared to the school heartthrob who looked delicate and was hyped up on the forums, Fu Si was the sunny-type handsome boy—because of his fair skin and dyed blond hair, he didn’t look tacky at all, but rather like one of those anime male protagonists. It’s just that everyone had been busy criticizing Fu Si’s thuggish behavior before, and nobody cared about his looks.
When Fu Si first enrolled, he clearly concealed his family situation.
Plus, deep down everyone thought that kids from wealthy families shouldn’t be attending a no-name university.
Otherwise, Jiang Yiniing believed, there would have been girls swarming around Fu Si a long time ago.
That’s why when choosing a seat, she picked the row right in front of Tang Li and the others.
Upon seeing Jiang Yiniing, Yu Sui’s expression turned sour in an instant.
When Tang Li heard the chair in front of her flip down, she looked up to find Jiang Yiniing had already taken her seat, turning sideways to put her bag behind her. Meeting Tang Li’s gaze, she briefly froze, then pursed her lips and smiled faintly, "I didn’t notice just now, it turns out to be Ah Li and the others."
Saying so, Jiang Yiniing looked toward the person sitting next to Tang Li, as if she had just noticed Fu Si’s presence, "Ah Li, is this your friend?"
Tang Li didn’t plan to respond.
Because she couldn’t be bothered to guess Jiang Yiniing’s little schemes.
Fu Si, however, looked Jiang Yiniing up and down, nudging Tang Li’s arm: "Your classmate?"
Before Tang Li could reply, Jiang Yiniing had already introduced herself, reaching out her delicate hand toward Fu Si: "I’m Ah Li’s former roommate, Jiang Yiniing, the Yiniing from ’graceful’ and the Ning from ’tranquil.’"
Fu Si glanced at the hand but didn’t grasp it.
Jiang Yiniing didn’t seem embarrassed, her gaze shifted to the textbook on the table, quickly guessing, "Are you two tutoring linear algebra?"
Her tone was intimate, as if she and Tang Li were good friends.
Tang Li simply ignored her, pointing out a Chapter’s key points to Fu Si: "After going through these, work on the exercises I’ve marked."
Watching Fu Si actually bow his head obediently to read, completely absent of the rumored "fierceness," Jiang Yiniing’s heart went through twists and turns, unsure whether to envy or be jealous of Tang Li’s luck.
At the same time, she couldn’t comprehend.
Tang Li had a gloomy and strange character, how could Fu Si care to bother with her?
Jiang Yiniing stood up and went to the restroom.
Standing in front of the washbasin, she texted Yuan Jin to subtly inquire about Fu Si.
Learning that Fu Si had failed more than a dozen courses, Jiang Yiniing instantly understood the cause and effect, and when she returned to the classroom and saw Fu Si scratching his head over a problem while Tang Li cared only for her own reading, she didn’t go back to her seat. Instead, she bent down beside Fu Si, pointing somewhere, "Here, you should substitute a formula."
As she spoke, she raised her hand to brush aside the hair by her ear.
A faint fragrance wafted from the girl.
Fu Si found the scent unpleasant, instinctively moving away towards Tang Li’s side, uninterested in Jiang Yiniing’s explanation, and perfunctorily said he understood.
"I’ll just do it myself."
Saying so, she reached for the pen in Fu Si’s hand: "Actually, this kind of question is quite simple, as long as you remember the formula, there’s a pattern to these types of problems. Next time you encounter it, just follow the same method."
Her arm brushing his intentionally or unintentionally, Fu Si felt full of impatience.
Due to Tang Li’s presence, it wasn’t good for him to make a scene.
Afraid to annoy Tang Li, and have her really stop tutoring him.
