Chapter 111: Not Wasting Time ①
Seeing the bag in Li Kai’s hand, Ai Si Yuan smiled and said as he brushed past Li Kai, “Li Kai, you don’t deserve Nie Qiu.”
Don’t deserve?! The three words exploded in Li Kai’s ears, echoing, deafening.
“What did you say?! Ai Si Yuan, what do you mean? Say it again if you dare!” Li Kai was enraged, he rushed forward and grabbed Ai Si Yuan’s collar, “Speak!”
Ai Si Yuan placed his hand on Li Kai’s and forcefully pried Li Kai’s hand away, saying as calmly as possible, “Am I wrong? What can you do besides fight? Drawing? Or singing with a group of people in a KTV? Nie Qiu’s grades are eighth in the entire grade, and yours? After 100th place or after 200th place? Are you pursuing Nie Qiu now, wanting to affect her studies and her future?”
“No!” Li Kai gritted his teeth and said firmly, “I will absolutely not affect her studies, I will work hard with her, I…”
“Are you sure?” Ai Si Yuan straightened his collar and looked at the bag Li Kai was still holding, “Then what are you doing now?”
Li Kai’s angry shouts had long since drawn out the classmates who were already watching the excitement in the classroom. Fortunately, both of them spoke relatively quietly when mentioning Nie Qiu, so they didn’t know what had happened. Zhang Qidi, who was standing next to Ai Si Yuan, was also completely confused.
“Li Kai,” Ai Si Yuan looked up, “I won’t allow you to disturb Nie Qiu!”
“On what grounds?” Li Kai felt a great discomfort, a inexplicable discomfort. He knew it! He knew it! He knew that if he discovered her good qualities, others would also discover her good qualities. Even if she wasn’t beautiful, that confidence was a unique temperament. Even if her skin wasn’t fair, her figure, belonging to a youthful girl, was enough to attract people.
“On the grounds that I can study with her, on the grounds that I can progress with her,” Ai Si Yuan said, “Li Kai, haven’t we played basketball in a long time? If you lose, don’t try to obstruct Nie Qiu anymore.”
Ai Si Yuan was actually not someone who liked to meddle in other people’s business. Rather than meddling, he preferred to sit in the classroom and read a book. But just yesterday, two students in their class were called by their parents due to early romance, and their grades plummeted. Yesterday’s exam paper didn’t even pass, and they were in Class 1, an elite class! Let alone passing, many people even got full marks! But their grades declined because of early romance.
So he didn’t want to see Nie Qiu’s grades, who was working hard, decline like this. This would be too big a blow for their Third Year Junior High students.
The issue of early romance, everyone understands, everyone knows, and the parties involved all understand. The school cracks down on early romance from First Year Junior High to Third Year Junior High, and has never relaxed. But those who engage in early romance still do, and those who are cracked down upon are still cracked down upon. During periods of intense scrutiny, it merely shifts from the open to the underground!
Nie Qiu… To be honest, he still remembered her demeanor when she stood in their classroom to explain how to write compositions. Unlike teachers, teachers explain and teach. For teachers, this is just a job. Even if they speak enthusiastically, there is rarely any emotional color. But Nie Qiu was different. It was evident that she loved the feeling of explaining compositions to them, and it was evident that she enjoyed that feeling, which naturally brought a different demeanor.
He also hoped that Nie Qiu could, as she said, have no regrets in the years to come.
Li Kai looked at Ai Si Yuan, wanting to confirm if Ai Si Yuan was serious, but after looking for a long time, he couldn’t detect any hint of a joke, “Are you sure? You want to play basketball with me?”
“A full court game. During morning self-study.”
Morning self-study lasts for forty minutes. So-called morning self-study is just self-study in the morning. Usually, very few teachers come to the classroom, and Class 1 is no exception. They all sit in the classroom by themselves, led by the class representative for reading and reciting texts.
