He Chengxi, with her naturally petite figure and cool face, was not a soft, cutesy girl.
“Everyone, stop arguing.”
Xu Tong couldn’t bear the classroom continuing in such a chaotic state and wanted to end this farce.
Of course, the main reason was that she was both the Chinese class representative and the class monitor.
She absolutely didn’t want this to blow up and reach the teachers, then get blamed by them for inaction.
Whether it had an effect or not was secondary; she had to show the right attitude to avoid being implicated. Otherwise, she wouldn’t care how those people carried on.
She walked onto the podium, closed the webpage and turned off the whiteboard, like a judge delivering a final verdict.
“Let’s just rest properly at noon. Everyone, don’t disturb classmates who want to rest.”
Xu Tong didn’t dare say “don’t disturb classmates who want to study,” because in their class, only Pei Du, herself, and a few others actually studied seriously.
Saying that rashly would make others think she was just putting on airs.
But saying “afraid of disturbing classmates who want to rest” positioned her on the moral high ground of everyone’s interests.
—Most people didn’t want to be disturbed while resting.
Seeing the class monitor speak up, Liu Kang quieted down and returned to his seat with a few other boys.
Xu Tong had a good reputation in class. As monitor, she was responsible, had good grades, was pretty, treated people gently, and didn’t put on “official airs.”
He was willing to give her face and back down first.
Having vented his emotions, stepping down via the台阶 Xu Tong provided was just right, saving the embarrassment of taking it to the teachers.
Yang Mengxin couldn’t stand Xu Tong’s peacemaking attitude.
She pretended to give up on the surface, but inwardly cursed Xu Tong as a traitor to women who fawned over men.
Just loves playing the fair, just teacher’s pet.
So damn shameless.
Xu Tong naturally couldn’t know that a girl who usually spoke normally to her would think this way.
She was just relieved to have settled things before the homeroom teacher arrived. All was well.
Returning to her exercises, without the usual noisy music from the whiteboard, Xu Tong relaxed, and her思路 for doing the papers cleared up considerably.
No spectacle to watch; Pei Du felt a bit regretful. He wasn’t the type to take pleasure in others’ misfortune, but who could refuse a free performance?
Around 1:40 PM, Pei Du rested his head on the desk to sleep. Twenty minutes or so was just the right nap time, enough to ensure some energy for tackling science papers in the afternoon.
Before sleeping, he subconsciously glanced at his phone and found He Chengxi had sent him a new message.
“Classmate Pei, today is Thursday.”
“Thursday?”
“It’s Crazy Thursday.”
“You know about Crazy Thursday?”
“Yeah, Zhuyue told me. She said friends should go eat Crazy Thursday together.”
Seeing this message, Pei Du had a vague sense of foreboding.
Immediately, the next message arrived.
“Classmate Pei, do you want to eat Crazy Thursday together tonight?”
“(Cat winking sticker)”
“No, it’s too far. No time to go buy it.”
The nearest store was a full bus stop away. Pei Du wasn’t going.
“It’s okay, I’ve already ordered delivery. Just nine yuan delivery fee can get it delivered. You can even schedule it. I scheduled it for 5:50 PM delivery.”
“I’ll wait for you at the stairwell.”
“(Cute cat sticker)”
Pei Du understood one thing.
He Chengxi, with her naturally petite figure and cool face, was not a soft, cutesy girl.
Towards slightly familiar people, after peeling away her aloof exterior, she would, in the gentlest tone, arrange for you to do her favorite things.
Otherwise, how to explain the politely reserved girl acting like this?!
This was truly terrifying.
Wait, Pei Du snapped back to reality.
Did she figure out that although I refuse, if something is overly imposed with detailed plans, I won’t refuse due to fear of trouble?
He Chengxi shouldn’t be that kind of girl… right?
With this doubt, Pei Du fell into a deep sleep.
Pei Du, who almost never dreamed during naps, dreamt unprecedentedly.
A girl with an enchanting figure, tied in beautiful twin tails, fed him bite by bite.
The treasure on her chest pressed against his arm, heavy yet soft.
He contentedly touched the perfectly thick 60D black stockings, enjoying the girl’s service.
After eating what the girl offered, he shamelessly kissed her fingers.
This finger-lickin’ original chicken is pretty tasty.
Wait, what am I eating?
Pei Du abruptly woke up.
This was the second time today he felt the world was terrifying.
…
“Classmate Pei, it’s at the back gate. The delivery guy just called me.”
After meeting Pei Du, He Chengxi started walking towards the back gate.
On the way, they encountered a teacher, and it was the teacher who actively greeted this top-of-the-grade student—simple reason: she scored over 700.
Now was the third time Pei Du felt the world was terrifying.
Zhao Yu, for some reason, suddenly had a stomachache in the evening, needed to use the bathroom before eating, and told Pei Du not to wait for him and go eat first.
The girl usually with He Chengxi wasn’t there either.
Now it was just him and He Chengxi. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
“Thank you.”
Giving the number, taking the order—a whole large bag—He Chengxi couldn’t quite hold it.
Pei Du had to take it over.
“Thank you, Classmate Pei.”
“How much? I’ll transfer it to you.”
Carrying the bag with one hand, using his phone with the other to transfer money to He Chengxi.
“No need. My treat this time. Next time, you can treat me back, okay.”
There’s a next time?
Pei Du wanted to settle things quickly.
The sky was orange-red, twilight dyeing everything. He Chengxi’s radiant, goddess-like face added a touch of brilliance.
“Where to eat?”
Out of respect, Pei Du asked the girl’s opinion.
“The activity room.”
He Chengxi felt embarrassed eating in class, and didn’t want to go to the cafeteria. Their homeroom teacher had previously said she could freely use the meeting room and activity room on the third floor of the teachers’ building, so she thought of the activity room.
The activity room was quieter, more secluded.
More convenient for the two friends to spend time.
After all, aside from casual office chat after last year’s meeting, usually no teachers stayed in the activity room.
“I have the key to the activity room here.”
The girl blinked, giving off a “I’m amazing, right?” cute vibe.
The activity room key had been bestowed upon the school’s greatest top-of-the-grade student in recent years by the grade-level director, also Class 1’s homeroom teacher.
As her personal sanctuary for quiet alone time.
The privileges of a 700+ score top student were too many to imagine.
The clean, tidy activity room had no commercial elements. Soft sofas, thick carpet, equipped with a computer and TV, even a small fridge.
He Chengxi, as if coming home, took out two bottles of Dayao soda from the fridge.
She handed one to Pei Du, her small hand getting a bit wet.
“Classmate Pei, thank you for the soda you treated me to.”
“…You’re welcome.”
Taking the soda, he opened it for He Chengxi as well.
The two sat on the sofa, a body’s width apart, with a large bag of fried chicken, fragrant bones, egg tarts, and other Crazy Thursday specials between them.
“Classmate Pei, do you want to watch TV?” The girl, after washing her hands, couldn’t wait to pick up an egg tart. “I kinda want to watch. Ah, it’s hot.”
The scorching egg tart seemed to burn He Chengxi, but she still took a second bite.
“Then let’s watch.”
“I want to watch ‘Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!'”
“What.”
Pei Du thought he was hallucinating.
“I want to watch ‘Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Ren,’ the second season. I finished the first season before. Is that okay, Classmate Pei?”
He Chengxi repeated, finished a whole egg tart, and handed another to Pei Du.
“Or ‘GJ Club’? I haven’t seen the movie version of that yet.”
Outside the window, the lively sounds of students playing and fooling around.
Occasionally, a teacher or two chatted about their class kids while returning to the office to rest.
Inside the activity room, the TV played Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Ren (Season 2), episode one.
He Chengxi watched intently, occasionally eating chicken nuggets or egg tarts, and discussing the plot with the boy beside her.
Pei Du only felt everything was too surreal.
He probably still hadn’t woken up.
