Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Sitting at the Same Table with the Tycoon_1

"Can you all please calm down?" The homeroom teacher, unable to bear the chaos in the classroom any longer, smacked the podium again. When the discussion died down, she smiled at Xia Ningxing and said, "Xia Ningxing, you’re short; would it be alright for the teacher to arrange a seat for you in the front row?"

"Thank you, Teacher, but I’d like to sit with him!" Xia Ningxing said as she stretched out her hand, pointing to the empty seat beside Lu Tingli.

He was sitting alone, so the seat next to him was vacant.

She had been eyeing that spot for a long time.

When the teacher and students followed her gaze, they all fell silent.

The teacher pulled a helpless smile, "I’m afraid that won’t be possible. Lu has already asked to sit by himself, saying others would distract him from his studies."

Only because he’s a good student could he make such a request. Otherwise, she would have scolded him by now; wanting to sit alone, why not just fly to heaven!

As if she hadn’t heard, Xia Ningxing already made her way to Lu Tingli’s seat. Tilting her little head, she looked up at him with a smile, "Lu, can I sit beside you?"

Lu Tingli looked up in surprise at the young girl, not expecting her to have skipped a grade.

Seeing that he remained silent, she suddenly lowered her head slightly and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "If you let me sit next to you, I’ll pack your lunch for an entire year."

She couldn’t believe that he would remain unmoved by such an offer.

Especially since the meals she cooked were so delicious.

As expected.

"Cough, you can sit," Lu Tingli actually never intended to refuse, but since she had said it, he naturally accepted graciously.

As he spoke, he even lifted his arm to tidy up the books on the desk beside him and cleared the chair for her, like a gentleman pulling it out, "Please."

Who doesn’t like a mutually beneficial deal!

Xia Ningxing’s eyes curved into smiles, "Thanks, Lu. You’re really a good person!"

Haha, good person my ass! Sly as a fox!

She stepped forward with her little legs and plopped down onto the small stool, stuffing her backpack into the desk.

The desk was yellow-gray, used by countless generations and its dirty paint nearly peeling off. The surface was covered with graffiti and indented with pits, and a corner was even missing.

In her two lifetimes, Xia Ningxing had never used such a shabby desk, but she felt incredibly happy because she was seated next to "money."

Seeing her truly take a seat next to Lu Tingli, the entire class stared with wide eyes, including the teacher, in disbelief.

"How can she... how can she sit there!"

"The class president didn’t even chase her away!"

"Yeah, other girls have wanted to sit with him before, and their books were tossed away by the class president!"

Xia Jiaojiao’s eyes were nearly red with envy. Lu Tingli was not only the class leader but also the heartthrob of the school. How could she deserve to sit beside him!

"How did you skip grades?" Lu Tingli finally lifted his ink-dark eyes to the girl beside him, his lips moved slightly, and his adolescent voice finally voiced his bewilderment.

"Because I wanted to go to the same school as you!" The little girl’s voice was soft and sweet, tinged with a bit of coquettishness, "And I specially asked the principal to put me in your class!"

"..."

"Boring." But why is there a little bit of happiness stirring inside!

Lu Tingli forcibly restrained the smile that threatened to emerge, lifting his book a little to shield his face, not wanting her to notice.

"Not at all boring, as long as I’m with you!" Xia Ningxing tilted her head, blinking her large eyes, and smiled at him, "Because wherever Lu is, the air is sweet, and the earth smells fragrant!"

Xia Group’s brand of cheesy love talk was now online.

Lu Tingli said in silence, "I can’t be bothered with you."
