Zhou Siyu had been lying on her desk until class started, her homework still unfinished. When class began, Chen Jie asked why the homework hadn’t been turned in yet, and the math class representative said it was Zhou Siyu’s group that hadn’t submitted theirs.
Chen Jie looked toward Zhou Siyu, and as soon as she caught his gaze, she immediately said, "Teacher, I still can’t solve those few problems I got wrong before, could you please explain them again?"
Unlike before, this time her attitude and tone were all suggesting that she was eager to learn.
Her academic performance was good, so it was understandable that she might occasionally not understand something. Chen Jie then looked at the other students, "Anyone else who doesn’t understand? Raise your hands."
This lesson, although not very difficult, wasn’t simple either. There were indeed some who didn’t understand, but they had chosen to cheat, so now when they heard Chen Jie asking, around ten students raised their hands.
After all, with Zhou Siyu taking the lead, they weren’t afraid.
Chen Jie nodded, "Put your hands down! We won’t start a new lesson this class, I’ll go over yesterday’s lesson again."
The students immediately responded loudly.
A small smile curled at the corner of Zhou Siyu’s lips.
See, now she knew where the problem lay, and in the future, she wouldn’t be led by the nose by Shen Mianmian anymore.
If she wanted to fight with her, first she had to get safely through Saturday and Sunday.
Don’t blame her for being ruthless.
If there’s anyone to blame, blame oneself for being Shen Jianhua’s illegitimate daughter.
If not for Shen Mianmian, Shen Jianhua would have probably given her his surname and treated her like his own daughter long ago; her life would certainly have been at least twice as easy as it is now. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵
Chen Jie asked everyone to turn to the previous page and began the lesson.
"Siyu, didn’t you understand it? Why are you asking the teacher to explain it again?" Zhao Xinlan was somewhat puzzled. Before class, Zhou Siyu was still fuming, so how come she suddenly seemed like a completely different person now?
Zhou Siyu smiled quietly, "Isn’t this good? Those who didn’t understand benefit from it too."
Zhao Xinlan felt a chill run down her spine at her smile and subconsciously moved closer to the wall.
"Is Zhou Siyu possessed?" Lu Siyuan scoffed, "Since when has she been so humble?"
Feigning understanding when she doesn’t, pretending to know when she doesn’t, playing the victim, acting the good person—these terms were synonymous with Zhou Siyu.
Yet now she was suddenly seeking guidance.
It wasn’t normal, too abnormal.
Others might not understand Zhou Siyu’s behavior, but Shen Mianmian did. Zhou Siyu was issuing her a challenge.
The competition between the two of them was probably just really beginning.
"I’m talking to you." Seeing Shen Mianmian getting distracted, Lu Siyuan nudged her with his elbow. When she got distracted while he was talking, it annoyed him.
Usually, during class, she would listen intently, her ears wide open, eyes fixed on the blackboard and on Chen Jie, not even blinking, yet whenever he spoke to her, she would get lost in thought.
"Since when are you so concerned about Zhou Siyu?" Shen Mianmian rolled her eyes, deliberately provoking, "You couldn’t have fallen for her, could you?"
Lu Siyuan bristled, "Who are you slandering?"
Liking Zhou Siyu was slandering him?
What kind of logic was that?
"Pay attention to the lesson." She didn’t want to discuss such pointless topics with Lu Siyuan; listening intently was the greatest respect for the teacher.
"Explain yourself first," Lu Siyuan insisted.
Shen Mianmian felt a bit of a headache coming on. Before they got to know each other, this guy always had a ’keep out’ expression on his face.
After getting to know him, he turned into someone both prideful and childish, which made her sometimes want to discipline a kid.
Like now, she felt like pulling his ear.
