116 116 The tsundere Lu Qing
Seeing that Lu Qing was late again while being so lazy, the teacher couldn’t help but say, ” The exam will be happening tomorrow. Look at your condition now!”
Lu Qing smiled ingratiatingly, “Don’t worry, teacher. I will not drag the class’s grades.”
The teacher sighed helplessly, but there was nothing he could do about Lu Qing. Although Lu Qing always caused some small trouble and has always been lazy, his academic results had always been excellent. He didn’t have to worry too much. This made it impossible for the teacher to be angry at him for too long.
The teacher glared at Lu Qing and raised his chin, indicating for Lu Qing to return to his seat. After some thought, he still instructed, “Don’t be arrogant. Take a good look at the teaching material that I’ve mentioned before.”
Lu Qing nodded happily and walked to his seat.
The teacher turned around and left the classroom once he was done.
Lu Qing had just sat down when the boy beside him came over and whispered to him, “You missed another good show. Someone stole Tan Rou’s notes and she questioned everyone who was inside the classroom!” After saying that, he raised his eyebrows with a gossipy look. “Take a guess. Who could it be?”
Lu Qing frowned and turned to look at Tn Rou. The words were just on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back. He turned to the boy and said indifferently, “How would I know? It has nothing to do with me.” With that, he took out his revision materials and prepared to read.
Seeing that Lu Qing wasn’t interested, the boy pouted and felt that it was boring. He mumbled, “The teacher just said that the books were important for the exam tomorrow and it just got stolen. Is there anyone who wants Tan Rou to do badly in the exams? Tsk, tsk, girls are so complicated.” Then, he lifted his chin in Tan Jing’s direction. “I think that person is the most suspicious. She definitely isn’t someone simple.”
Lu Qing chuckled and pretended to kick the boy. “You’re a man, why are you being so nosy? Get lost and stop disturbing me!”
After getting rid of the boy, his surroundings finally quieted down. However, Lu Qing felt that his heart was still in a mess. Originally, this had nothing to do with him; but for some reason, he had heard Tan Rou’s name so many times in the past two days that it caused Lu Qing’s mind to be filled with the thought that Tan Rou might be anxious now with how she lost her books.
“If she doesn’t do well, she’ll be sad.” Lu Qing muttered to himself with his head lowered. He couldn’t read a single word from the book in front of him.
Lu Qing realized that he was worried about Tan Rou. He shook his head and blushed.
What was wrong with him? Why was he so worried about a girl he had just met? This was something abnormal!
However, Lu Qing couldn’t resist it. He persevered until the end of the class. Lu Qing pretended not to care and walked to Tan Rou’s side with his books. He threw them aside and cleared his throat, “Cough cough … I heard that you’ve lost your book. I’ve already studied through them so you can have a look at it.”
Lu Qing felt extremely uncomfortable when he spoke. He didn’t dare to look at Tan Rou the entire time. His hands were clenched into fists in his pockets, and he was in a dilemma.
Lu Qing, what are you doing? Do you still want to be misunderstood? No… so what if others misunderstand? I’m just helping a classmate!
Thinking of this, Lu Qing felt much better. He forced himself to look at Tan Rou and acted normal.
Tan Rou looked at the study materials on the table and was stunned for a moment. She looked up at Lu Qing and smiled gratefully. “Thank you, but there’s really no need. You can keep them for your revision. Didn’t the teacher say that you shouldn’t be overconfident?”
Lu Qing looked at Tan Rou’s smile and his mind suddenly went blank. His pupils dilated slightly, and he could only hear his heart beating faster.
Why did Tan Rou suddenly smile at him like this? Did she smile like this in the past?
Lu Qing felt that he was getting weirder and weirder, especially after yesterday’s incident. Tan Rou seemed to have changed his perspective of her. Her every move was attracting his attention.
Lu Qing didn’t know what this meant, but at this moment, he really couldn’t stand Tan Rou’s bright smile.
Lu Qing’s face was slightly red. He quickly took the book back as if he was snatching it. “If you don’t need it, then forget it. Just pretend I didn’t say anything.” With that, he quickly walked back to his seat and lay down his hide, hiding his face.
Tan Rou sat there with a blank look on her face. She didn’t understand what was wrong with Lu Qing all of a sudden. Yesterday, he was still so carefree and generous in clarifying for her. Today, he became someone else. He was just as strange as the first time they met.
Tan Rou shook her head. She didn’t understand him, so she stopped thinking about it.
