Normally, when there was nothing pressing to do, we would also hide away and debate who was the best looking in the class or even the entire school.

And Xiu Xi was undoubtedly that best looking one, with plenty of girls from the eighth and ninth grades occasionally pretending to pass by the classroom just to take a quick look and then giggling as they ran away.

Now he sat there motionless on his own, and everyone knew that they had no part in the math competition anyway, so they naturally took the opportunity to sneak extra glances.

Jiaojiao was stumped by the last problem today, her head bowed as she focused on calculating. Ruan Lei sat beside her; he and Qi Weixin had put down their pens at the same time, but Jiaojiao hadn’t finished yet. Ruan Lei wasn’t in a hurry to leave, choosing instead to sit and wait for her.

Weixin glanced at Jiaojiao, who still hadn’t finished, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes showing a determination to win this chance to participate in the math competition.

She got up and walked out, seeing Xiu Xi sitting under the big tree. She also saw many first graders in the corridor stealing glances at her. With a flicker in her eyes, she straightened her back and walked over.

"Xiu Xi," she called, her tone softer than usual, no longer adversarial as before.

Xiu Xi was holding a water bottle, frequently looking down at his watch. This watch had been a birthday gift from Jiaojiao this year; a mechanical watch. Since he had always been precise with time, he hadn’t worn it initially and had kept it in his cupboard instead. But a few days ago, after reading that such watches needed to be worn because keeping them stationary for a long time could cause inaccuracies, he had started wearing it.

Upon hearing Weixin’s call, he didn’t even lift his head to look.

Instead, he wondered whether Jiaojiao might have been stumped by a problem, and with this thought, he stood up, unable to resist the urge to move closer and see for himself.

Seeing that Xiu Xi was ignoring her and starting to walk away, Weixin’s expression, which had been fairly good, suddenly soured, especially under the watchful eyes of so many. She felt embarrassed, blocked his way with her hand, and spoke with dissatisfaction, "Xiu Xi, how can you be so rude? Didn’t you hear me calling you?"

"..." Xiu Xi finally looked over, stopping just short of touching her arm, discreetly increasing the distance between them.

Xiu Xi’s eyes were only gentle when looking at Jiaojiao, with others, they often held a strong aggression, particularly when he silently fixed his gaze on someone, giving the sensation of being targeted by a "Ferocious Beast".

Now, Weixin felt a chill throughout her body under his gaze and momentarily forgot what she initially wanted to say.

Only after Xiu Xi had walked onto the corridor did she suddenly snap back to reality, about to chase after him, but then she saw Jiaojiao and Ruan Lei coming out together.

Having been infuriated to the point of a heart attack by Ruan Lei numerous times, Weixin felt uncomfortable just at the sight of Ruan Lei, swallowed what she had intended to ask, and turned to walk away.

After all, it didn’t matter whether Xiu Xi could participate in the math competition this time or not, as long as one of them was her, she didn’t care who her partner would be!

"Xiu Xi, what were you talking about with the tattle-tale?" Ruan Lei asked as soon as he came out. He had coined a nickname for Weixin, calling her ’tattle-tale’, and he wouldn’t even use her real name, instead directly addressing her by the nickname, often making Weixin furious.

Hearing this, Jiaojiao also looked at him curiously, wanting to know what they had been talking about before they came out.

"Don’t know," Xiu Xi replied indifferently with three words and then handed the water bottle in his hand to Jiaojiao, "Drink some water."
