Chapter 33: Teacher, Please Take Off Your Colored Glasses
If that's the case, Li Xiaobai would be slightly happier, which means Lin Nan only went to good students' homes for home visits. Although he didn't want to admit it, in the eyes of teachers and students, a study freak like Xia Xiner had an excellent student label on her. Having received the same treatment as Xia Xiner, what else could she be if not a good student?
"Just a ride with the wind, are you thinking too much?" Xia Xiner said with a smile that was not quite a smile. "I heard Lin Na say she's going to do a home visit, so it turns out she's going to your house..."
Then Xia Xiang'er revealed her originally calm demeanor.
Why are you showing such emotions? This guy is really hateful, no way, I must refute.
"What can I do, I'm not interested in home visits, who made the teacher require me to do so." Lin Nan was not there, and Li Xiaobai started talking nonsense, "Also, children who have never experienced home visits should not make random guesses, this is a treatment that only top students can receive."
"It's really embarrassing, I've never been treated like this since I was young, it's truly enviable." Xia Xiner said slowly and calmly, then fell silent.
It's strange, although she had the upper hand in terms of language, Xia Xiner also expressed her admiration, so why did she suddenly feel inferior. Could it be that Xia Xiner knew some kind of magic that unknowingly bewitched people's hearts?
However, it seems unnecessary to pursue victory, since Xia Xiang'er has already admitted defeat, the boy should show his magnanimity.
To be honest, although they became deskmates, the two didn't talk much. Occasionally, some topics would come up, but it was just a few words and that's it. Li Xiaobai wasn't particularly uncomfortable with this feeling.
It's better for girls to remain somewhat unfamiliar, because once they become familiar, like with Guo Jing, their flaws will be magnified without limit, and it's simply infuriating. As for her good qualities, since you're not one of those shallow guys whose brains are filled with hormones, please, he can't even notice them at all.
With a crisp sound, Li Xiaobai suddenly found that Lin Nan, who was holding the car key in his hand, had approached him.
She is now wearing more subdued clothes, and from a purely visual perspective, the teacher's impression of her has gradually faded, giving off a university senior or older sister next door vibe.
"Get on the bus?"
When he opened the driver's door first, Lin Nan said to Li Xiaobai who was still in a daze.
"Oh..."
Li Xiaobai, who had reacted, originally wanted to sit in the back, but saw that Xia Xiang'er was already sitting there ahead of time. Her eyes also emitted a warning color of "it's best not to disturb me". Under helplessness, she could only sit on the co-pilot seat.
"Teacher, won't Xia Xiang'er hitch a ride every time she's on summer vacation?"
After the car started moving, Li Xiaobai forced himself to find a topic of conversation.
Students being quiet and not disturbing each other is undoubtedly the most ideal state. However, teachers are different, just like in an office, he just sits there without saying a word, you will feel your scalp tingling, Li Xiaobai's psychological quality is far beyond that of ordinary people, but also can't avoid being affected by this universal law.
Silence is golden, but if Lin Nan suddenly bursts out in silence and dies suddenly, it's too tragic.
"It's almost there, because it's a smooth road." Lin Nan smiled, apparently in a good mood.
When it comes to Xia Xiner, a pleasant thought slowly spreads in the car.
Although Li Xiaobai doesn't care, why does the corner of your mouth curve up with a smile when mentioning Xia Xinger, and as soon as I enter the office or something, you unconsciously frown.
Teacher, please take off your glasses and don't look at people with colored glasses.
Or is it because you're not wearing glasses that's why you can't see clearly?
Unexpectedly, Xia Xiang'er's home was also in the northern district of the city. With a little bit of reasoning, Lin Nan should be there too. Li Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat, wondering if it was because Lin Nan lived close to his own home that he had decided to make a home visit. Oh no, what if Lin Nan always... Ugh, I'd rather die...
At a bus stop, Xia Xiner chose to get off the bus. Then Li Xiaobai saw Lin Nan reminding her to be careful, but Xia Xiner just waved her hand and disappeared into the crowd without looking back.
"It's okay, I suppose," Li Xiaobai said incredulously. "Teacher, isn't Xia Xiang'er being a bit too rude? She may be a top student in her studies, but when it comes to politeness, I can definitely be her teacher."
If it were him, Lin Nan would at least say thank you, if not invite him to dinner.
However, Li Xiaobai did not hear this "thank you".
"You can teach her then." Lin Nan said somewhat helplessly, "Maybe she'll listen to you."
"Never mind," Li Xiaobai hastily retreated, "As the saying goes, 'near ink is black', what if she swallows my politeness too?"
"Then why can't you learn from others? Lin Nan took the opportunity to teach, "Xin'er's math scores are so good, why can't you ask her for advice during normal times? You know I made you sit together not only to try to get along with girls but also to improve your academic performance."
It's the weekend, after all. I want to keep a good mood. When you scold me, it may be satisfying for you, but can't you consider my feelings?
"Teacher, what impression do I give you?" Li Xiaobai started beating around the bush.
"A very rare yet typical liberal arts male student. He's a bit clever in his studies, but terrible at math. Often mischievous and thinks he's superior just because he's unconventional..." Lin Nan said with a smile.
"So that's me, if my math scores improve, is it still me?" Li Xiaobai finally seized the opportunity to retort, "Sticking to one's original heart is absolutely right, trying to change will only lead to defeat."
"Can you say it again?"
The car slowed down at a speed that Li Xiaobai could perceive, and then Lin Nan turned his head and glanced at Li Xiaobai.
"Alright, I'll just take it as 'those who are near cinnabar become red' then." Li Xiaobai's voice trailed off, becoming much softer.
Similarly, when Chen Huan said it, Li Xiaobai only felt funny. However, when Lin Nan said it, it was terrifying.
Forget it, forget it, just now the atmosphere was about to become awkward, giving Lin Nan a step down is really too great.
"Some things are better left unchanged, but some stubborn diseases must be changed. Sometimes what determines whether a person can succeed is not his strengths, but whether his weaknesses can be overcome, understand?"
The speed of the car picked up again, and Li Xiaobai heard Lin Nan's voice drifting over softly.
