Very hardworking student

  The third watch of the New Year, a joyful and festive occasion, seeking New Year's recommendation votes, muah muah.

  ……

  Yang Zhi-xiang is an excellent athlete.

  He has a short haircut and is sunny and generous, with a strong and healthy physique. He was the runner-up in multiple events at the school's summer sports meet for two consecutive years. Don't ask why he was the runner-up, that's just how it is.

  Well, although he's been the runner-up in the school sports meet for two years, Yang Zhi-xiang is still quite popular among the girls in Class 2-2. Girls like that kind of strong and powerful guy, while those gentle and delicate types are just for show; having strength is what really matters.

  It's true that the girl is very popular, but it doesn't mean that Yang Zhi Xiang, who sits next to our cold beauty Liu Youyou, is a top student. No, he's actually a bad student.

  Good students are often quiet and a bit shy, while sunny and generous boys usually have terrible grades. Fortunately, our classmate Yang Zhi-xiang has good relationships and is skilled at cheating, otherwise his mediocre test scores would definitely put him in the bottom position, along with perennial tail-ender Su Xiao-qiu who always hands in blank papers during exams and Ye Cai's silly ranking of second to last.

  By the way, Ye Cai's cute and silly image has already taken root in Class 2-2, all it needs is a brave warrior to expose her true identity.

  Of course, Yang Zhi Xiang also had thoughts about the famous and publicly YYed "little stupid cute" in the class dormitory, but it was precisely that fixed impression of a boy that made him hesitant. Thinking about it, he felt relieved, as cute things are suitable for appreciation and belong to the common property of the boys in the class, pushing them down would only provoke public anger.

  Yang Zhi-xiang had an idea about Ye Cai, but like most of the boys in the class, he couldn't put it into practice. He was very clever and knew that he had to divert his attention, but the little silly girl often stirred up people's desire to tease and dominate her, and looking at her cute profile, evil thoughts kept emerging in his mind.

  He succeeded because the girl sitting next to him was a new beautiful girl. After several secret glances, he found out that the beauty beside him belonged to the proud and cold type. He slightly understood this kind of girl, who is usually cold outside but hot inside, and just thinking about the fiery heat under her icy protective shell would make him excited. Fortunately, being close to her gave him a great opportunity.

  After several careful plans, he decided to give a preventive shot to the beauty at the same table. Firstly, to see the other's general intention, and secondly, to let the other have a psychological preparation for enduring his pursuit. So after hastily finishing dinner, he immediately returned to the classroom and wrote a simple and easy-to-understand love letter, which straightforwardly expressed that he liked Liu Youyou and hoped to be with her, and wouldn't mind going further.

  Next, let's see how Liu Youyou reacts after receiving the love letter. During the first class of evening self-study, he found that Liu Youyou was a bit restless, seemingly with signs of having butterflies in her stomach, and he was overjoyed.

  However, after class, the situation suddenly changed. The girl rushed out of the classroom with a love letter, leaving him stunned and wondering if she had mistaken him for someone else. No way, he thought, I clearly signed my name, Yang Zhi Xiang, how could she not recognize me?

  After all, speculation is speculation. No matter how much self-comfort and deception, he still had no bottom line in his heart, so he refused the invitation of several good friends to go to the toilet together, and leaned on the railing outside the classroom, pretending to enjoy the view, and took advantage of this excellent geographical location to secretly look towards the direction of the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

  He immediately spotted two suspicious figures, and upon closer inspection, he realized they were two Lolis from his class. One was about 1.5 meters tall with a proud demeanor, while the other was about 1.6 meters tall with a silly expression. The two girls' movements seemed highly suspicious, as if they were following the footsteps of Liu Youyou in a hurry. This made him feel a sense of foreboding, and he wondered what those two Lolis were up to.

  About two or three minutes later, just as he was in a state of utter distress, Liu Youyou brought Ye Cai and Xiao Xue, pretending to be nonchalant, slowly walking over from the depths of the corridor.

  The three sisters seemed to be not talking at all, roughly because of the emotional relationship that made them all a bit awkward. No mistake, Liu Youyou should have seen the love letter - Yang Zhi Xiang slightly frowned, thinking so.

  This is getting serious!

  Things have reached a critical juncture.

  At this moment, it all depends on how Liu Youyou will react when she walks over. He thought to himself, already mentally prepared to reveal a deeply affectionate expression if things develop normally.

  Her eyes drew closer, and closer...

  When she was within a certain visible range, Liu Youyou ignored him and quickened her pace, swiftly passing by the corridor behind him. But what made him stunned and flustered was that Ye Cai, who was following behind Liu Youyou, actually glanced at him with a playful gaze, and Xiao Xue also cast a subtle, slightly disdainful glance in his direction.

  What's going on?!

  Quickly turning around to chase after the three figures, Yang Zhi Xiang's confidence and self-love suddenly shattered into pieces. He really wanted to run up and ask Liu Youyou herself what she meant by that.

  It's really frustrating to be kept in suspense like this.

  He held his breath and gritted his teeth, determined to ask Liu Youyou about it during the next class.

  Yang Zhi-xiang, a real man, decided to express his feelings in person, and his desire to pick up girls was rising.

  ……

  At the moment when they were about to part in front of the classroom podium, Ye Cai caught up with Liu Youyou and told her to prepare herself mentally.

  Intelligent as she was, Liu Youyou naturally understood Ye Cai's meaning and nodded heavily. Seeing this, Ye Cai gave her a trusting glance and slowly released his right hand that had been gripping Liu Youyou's sleeve.

  At this time, Liu Youyou suddenly grasped Ye Cai's small hand and whispered a sentence in her ear that made her face red with embarrassment.

  "You this... slut..."

  The contemptuous gaze Ye Cai left behind before he walked away.

  Class is in session. Liu Youyou and Yang Zhi Xiang sit up straight, the math teacher points at the blackboard and explains continuously, their classmates look at the blackboard with a serious expression.

  Seizing the opportunity, Yang Zhi-xiang pretended to take notes and pulled out a draft paper, scribbling down a sentence, which he then pushed onto Liu You-you's desk, who was intently staring at the blackboard.

  No matter how embarrassed and angry she was, Liu Youyou couldn't help but be curious, and she glanced down - "Did you see that?"

  What?

  She felt the piercing gaze upon her, and suddenly tensed up, took a deep breath, picked up her pen and slowly wrote down a sentence, then pushed the draft back.

  Yang Zhi-xiang hastily pulled it down to take a look and immediately looked bitter - "The college entrance examination is approaching, and making full preparations for the exam is the most important thing."

  Although the sentence is tactful, the meaning is very clear. Yang Zhi-xiang, who was rejected once, felt embarrassed and frustrated, but after thinking about it, he thought to himself that it's not a big deal, and if need be, he can just continue pursuing her.

  He pretended to be disheartened and dejected, propping up his cheek with a sulky expression, making Liu's gaze, which had coincidentally fallen upon him, become embarrassed and apologetic, and he nodded slightly, as if apologizing.

  It's on!

  Yang Zhi-xiang's eyes lit up, and he saw the deep affection that Liu You-you had buried in her heart for him. He became self-loving, thinking to himself: "Strong men are really popular, huh? I'll have to continue working hard from now on."

  Thus, our classmate Yang Zhi Xiang decided to kill two birds with one stone, pursuing and flirting at the same time. After the math teacher announced private discussions, he searched for courage and finally managed to pick up the previous test paper, going over to play a game of exchanging flirtatious glances with Liu Youyou.

  Liu Youyou, who had scored over 100 points, said: "I won't be able to either..."

  This, this...

  Yang Zhi-xiang's smile was stiff, he cleared his throat, and very clearly understood that what was needed now was a thick skin, so he pretended to blame: "Who is being deceived? With over 100 points, I'm so envious."

  This time it's Liu Youyou's turn to have a stiff smile, thinking "Damn, this guy's got some thick skin", what can be done now?

  She was nervous and subconsciously looked in Ye Cai's direction for help, but saw Xiao Diao Meng buried in his book, his face turned sideways and couldn't be seen, showing his level of concentration.

  "Hey, look at this question, it's so deceiving..."

  At this time, Yang Zhi Xiang took the test paper and quietly moved closer to Liu Youyou, with a serious and solemn expression.

  However, Liu Youyou lowered her head and fell into silence. After a long time, Yang Zhixiang felt a bit awkward, and she suddenly asked: "Who was sitting here before...?"

  Huh?

  It's moving on its own!

  Yang Zhi-xiang replied without hesitation: "Oh, he's a refined-looking academic tyrant who always takes the top spot in our class. But, you know, he's not very friendly to me, doesn't talk much, and is quite arrogant...not a good guy..."

  "Hehe..."

  Willow's gentle smile, red lips and white teeth, her delicate face showed a charming color, but the corners of her eyes under her curved eyelashes twitched slightly.
