The next morning, Gu Siyi sat in a position full of energy and studied her words aloud as usual. A figure shook next to her, and she turned her head to see Xia Zhijun sitting on an empty chair next to her.
“Oh, why are you sitting here?” She asked casually.
Xia Zhijun lazily flipped through the reading book in his hand and said, “Lu Jiaye said that I affected his sleep and brought me here.”
Gu Siyi turned her head and looked to the other side, Lu Jiaye was lying on the table, sound asleep. He could still sleep so calmly amidst the contending reading of a hundred schools of thought, She felt another form of respect for him.
Gu Siyi continued to read her book, but it was different when someone sat next to her, especially someone who looked like they walked with a natural camera filter on them. looking good with every move. When Gu Siyi saw him put a soft candy in his mouth to chew again, she couldn’t help but ask, “You eat candy every day, is it that good?”
She thought she liked desserts better, but clearly, she still loses to Xia Zhijun.
“Sugar helps stabilize emotions,” Xia Zhijun said indifferently.
Gu Siyi narrowed her eyes slightly. Big brother, your mood is already as stable as can be, you’re always excruciating this cold aura. Ah, you know what, forget it. She picked up her book and started studying again.
She continued to memorize the words of the first three units from English, and now she began to recite the fourth unit.
“Transport, the verb to transport, the noun transport….”
“Transport … t,r,a,n,s,p,o,r,t … transport….”
“Transportation….”
After hearing her chant the word repeatedly, Xia Zhijun couldn’t help but smile.
She keenly caught this low, uninteresting smile, and turned to ask him, “Are you laughing at me?”
Xia Zhijun licked his alveolar with the tip of his tongue. After breaking down the last trace of sugar, he said, “Even if you memorize all the words, it’s useless.”
“Who said it’s useless? Words are the foundation!” Retorted Gu Siyi.
“Words are dead, only memorizing words has no sense of language. I suggest you memorize the text directly.”
After struggling for a few seconds, Gu Siyi decided to take Xia Zhijun’s full score in English and accept his kindness just this once.
“Well, you are a study god, so I’m assuming what you say is true.” She turned back to the textbook in front of her and started reading.
When she finished reading it again and was about to recite it sentence by sentence, she heard Xia Zhijun’s low laugh, as if it were contempt from his soul.
“What’s wrong this time?”
“You are reading … really, um….” He seemed to be thinking about a nicer way to sound it. “You are studying very hard.”
“…” Is this supposed to be some kind of joke?
Gu Siyi’s face was reddening faintly, she bit her lower lip and said, “Then please read it and let me listen.”
She moved the textbook aside and placed it in Xia Zhijun’s field of vision.
“Do you want a friend to whom you could tell everything, like your deepest feelings and thoughts, or are you afraid that….”
On the other side, Lu Jiaye, half asleep and half awake, turned his face to the other side of his table just to find no one sitting beside him. Lazily, he looked around again, and went straight to his sister who was still reading the same English book.
He decisively picked up his mobile phone and posted a message in the newly renamed “Single Dog Group” WeChat group:【Ah Jun went to sleep with my sister while I was asleep, truly sinister!”】
Listening to Xia Zhijun’s reading of the text, Gu Siyi finally understood his previous statement of her trying hard.
She placed her hand on her forehead, ashamed once again at the knowledge gap between them. What’s the difference between the text we both read? Well, I was like a beggar who begs hoarsely, and he was like an elegant prince strolling in the courtyard.
The standard of pronunciation, the nature of sentences, and the fluency of sentences were all flowing effortlessly, which was no different from the American dramas she used to watch. The key was that his voice was pleasant. The letters come out of his mouth, like musical notes.
After he finished reading one of the texts, Gu Siyi slammed her head on the desk and shouted in mourning. “I want to take my English with me!”
“It’s not difficult, just pay attention and read it a few times.” Xia Zhijun said lightly.
Not difficult? Ok! Let’s lie down, laugh, and call it a day!
Gu Siyi rolled her eyes while clutching her head with both hands and staring at the book, hoping to make a hole from the intense staring.
“Should I let you read it and explain it to you?” He asked gently.
Gu Siyi was stunned, she slowly released her hand and turned her head, staring at him in disbelief. “Are you not studying your own subject?”
“I can’t watch you like this,” He said without a smile while closing his extracurricular book and putting it aside. He put them in the middle of the table, and said, “Sit down.”
Gu Siyi obediently moved the stool towards the middle, and the two of them were so close they touched arms. Holding a pen in his hand, he took her text while marking key sentences and explaining them to her.
Lu Jiaye continued bombing the WeChat group after their sitting.【Hold the grass, hold the grass, hold the grass!】
【Look at Ah Jun and his sister! Is he trying to eat grass beside the nest?】
【For the first time in his life, I saw him as a teacher like Mu Chunfeng, and his back was cold.】
After hearing their phone buzz multiple times, Zhou Xiao and Su Han finally reacted.
Zhou Xiao:【It’s clearly a brotherhood, tutoring, and learning is normal.】
Lu Jiaye:【Bulls**t! That’s not how he usually teaches! You forgot about his cousin, who was crying with him during summer vacation?】
Su Han:【Maybe he’s come to realize that if he wants to unite and love his classmates, he should be nicer.】
Not only these few friends, but other people in the class also secretly looked back.
In the morning light, the young man was lazy with one hand propping his head, holding a pen in one hand, writing and drawing on paper, sometimes reading something, his brows were picturesque, delicate, and gentle.
When he tapped the girl beside him with a pen on the head, the girls peeping at them secretly had their hearts pounding in their chests, wishing that they were the ones who were close to him.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
