Xu Niannian was wholly preoccupied with her two treasures, and even as she boarded the train back to Kyoto, she was worrying whether her babies had lost weight.
On the other side, Xu Sisi finally had her weekend off.
When Sisi first arrived at school, she wasn’t that pretty, but gradually, as her skin became fairer, she had become the school beauty.
There was no official selection for a school beauty, but everyone knew there was a girl in class 3-1 who was the most beautiful and prettiest one throughout the school.
Sisi was only focused on studying well and getting into university as soon as possible.
Because her grandmother had said that studying was the best way out.
Recently busy with mid-term exam preparations, Sisi had been neglecting sleep and food, thinning down so much that her features became even more pronounced than before.
In class 3-1, there was a male student with the best academic performance named Jiang Wei, the top of the whole grade, especially in physics.
As it happened, physics was Sisi’s weak point, and after the exams that day, she remembered a tough problem she encountered and caught up with Jiang Wei just as he was leaving the school gate.
"Jiang Wei, wait a moment..." Sisi ran after him, ruffling her hair, which the wind blew apart into an untidy middle part but revealed her porcelain-white little face.
Accompanying Jiang Wei were two other boys, classmates of Sisi.
Hearing Sisi calling out to Jiang Wei, the two boys teasingly pushed Jiang Wei and joked, "Hey, our class beauty is here for you. Jiang Wei, seize the opportunity!"
The other boy chimed in, "Exactly, we won’t disturb you, we’ll leave first."
Jiang Wei coughed uncomfortably but tacitly acknowledged his two friends’ behavior.
Sisi ran for quite a while before she reached Jiang Wei.
"Jiang Wei, wait a moment..." she panted heavily.
Seeing the blush emerge on her porcelain-white face, a hint of amusement appeared in Jiang Wei’s eyes, "Take it easy, don’t rush."
"Ah, if I don’t rush, you’ll be gone," Sisi pouted, "Jiang Wei, I have a question to ask you, can you explain it to me?"
"What question?" Jiang Wei looked at Sisi with faint anticipation.
Sisi, still panting, set her backpack down and took out a sheet of scratch paper to hand to Jiang Wei.
"Here, this one, the last question on the mid-term exam—I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and still can’t figure it out. Aren’t you good at physics? Do you know how to do it?"
"You ran all the way here just to ask this?" Jiang Wei could hardly believe his ears.
He had thought Sisi wanted to ask him something else.
But it turned out she really just had an academic question. The source of thɪs content is n0velfire.net
"What else?" Sisi urged Jiang Wei with her sparkling big eyes, "Will you or won’t you? If not, I’ll ask someone else."
Sisi felt uncomfortable under Jiang Wei’s strange gaze.
She was just asking a question, so why did Jiang Wei look at her as if she were a heartbreaker?
Feeling uneasy, she touched her nose, "Well, if you don’t know, never mind. I’ll ask someone else..."
Fearing she might leave, Jiang Wei blurted out urgently, "Don’t go!"
Sisi: "...I haven’t left!"
"Jiang Wei, what’s wrong with you? Why are you sweating on your forehead?" Sisi leaned in closer, tilting her head, "Are you not feeling well or something? Maybe I shouldn’t ask now. I can come back when you’re feeling better."
Upon hearing Sisi was thinking of not continuing, Jiang Wei immediately panicked and hastened to say, "No, no, I’m just feeling a bit hot."
