Chapter 61 - Want to cry! (2/2)

A phone vibrated as it received a message notification.

Huang Shao picked up his phone and started laughing explosively the moment he saw the message, “You’re amazing class leader! A genius! Starting from today you are my male god!”

Xiao Yuxin who was diligently putting the tables back in place looked up in confusion.

Huang Shao was still immersed in the news that he had just received and didn’t notice the fact that Xiao Yuxin didn’t have a phone with him

In the class group chat.

The math teacher sent a message in the group chat saying that he had forgotten to assign an assignment today during class and he would send it out now.

Before he could send his next message, a notification appeared —- The math teacher was blocked by the administrator for one day.

……..

Huang Shao read this out and almost died from laughing. He could imagine the math teacher’s expression as he steamed in anger.

As for Xiao Yuxin who had just found out what had happened, he felt wronged and wanted to cry. He turned around to look at his own seat and saw Xie Zhe sitting there secretly slipping his phone back into his seat pocket.

Xiao Yuxin: …. Excuse me, I have already seen it.

He strode over to him angrily and grabbed his own phone before trying his best to fix the situation. But the moment he turned on his phone, his screen lit up and he received a message from the math teacher.

The teacher said: “Class leader. Do you want to help the whole class do the homework instead?”

Xiao Yuxin: “…….” I want to cry! Teacher, please let me explain!

The usually serious and sincere top student was now rendered into a pitiful state. He bit his lips anxiously and his eyes flitted around in panic. As someone who had never opposed the teacher, he felt helpless and at loss.

On the side, Xie Zhe saw the little class leader panic to the point of almost crying and felt a little guilty. He rubbed his nose and pressed down on his shoulder: “I saw the teacher’s message and reacted instinctively. Don’t worry, I’ll help you explain to the teacher.”

Xiao Yuxin didn’t care about his supposedly good intentions. He ruthlessly pushed him off his shoulder and didn’t let him touch his phone.

With a slap, the sound of his palm hitting Xie Zhe’s hand was heard clearly in the silent classroom.

Xie Zhe may always appear cheery and mischevious but his temperament is actually quite similar to Qin Xu’s; a little cold. He wasn’t someone that people can easily get along with. If someone were to step onto his bottom line, he would not hold himself back. Before, he had been in a fight with a boy from another class and it had become a famous legend. Everyone knew that he was someone that they shouldn’t anger.

But now, the bad-tempered Xie Zhe not only didn’t get angry after getting hit, he even bent down so that he’s closer to Xie Yuxin and tried to placate him with a soft voice: “I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

He apologised very seriously without a hint of jokiness.

Xiao Yuxin suddenly heard the serious apology spoken next to his ear and for a moment didn’t know how to react. In fact, it wasn’t that serious, and he was just a little angry, but it wasn’t to the point that would lose his mind with anger. Seeing Xie Zhe lowering his voice and apologising sincerely, he was both surprised and a little panicked. He subconsciously stepped back to create some space between the two of them.

He felt a little stuffy and found breathing slightly difficult.

Xiao Yuxin’s brain short-circuited. He quickly waved his hand, “It’s nothing. I’ll explain to the teacher myself.”

He then turned around and faced his back to Xie Zhe. After taking a few deep breathes, he gripped tightly onto his phone and tapped on the screen a few times. While he very seriously replied to the teacher, he managed throw the strange feeling that had arisen inside him a moment ago to the back of his mind.

Xie Zhe looked at his back and felt somewhat frustrated. He felt like he had over done things and regretted it to death. Based on Xiao Yuxin’s good student personality, he probably hated getting on the wrong side of the teacher. This time he was innocently involved in the fight, was forced to write his first reflection essay and was even punished with one week of cleaning duties. With that happened just now, although it might not seem like anything to the other boys, but for a class leader like him it must’ve been a pretty heavy blow.

But in fact, Xie Zhe was overthinking things. He had misunderstood Xiao Yuxin.

Although he may be a good student in the eyes of the teacher, but he also wasn’t someone who would rather die than defy the teachers. It was just that he had not done it before so was a little at loss initially. The teachers are also ordinary people and they won’t eat them up if they didn’t listen to their words. Xiao Yuxin understood this.

Compared to this, what Xie Zhe was worried about was his studies. That’s right, studies.

For a top student like him, studying is the most important thing. I love learning. Learning makes me happy. Xiao Yuxin passionately absorbed all the new knowledge into his mind and felt extremely satisfied when he manages to learn something that he didn’t know of before.

You probably couldn’t tell but studying had turned out the be the biggest obstacle sitting between Xie Zhe and Xiao Yuxin. Metaphorically, it was like a tall mountain that was difficult to cross.

As for Xie Zhe himself, he didn’t like studying. The reason was mainly because every time he looked at a textbook, he would feel annoyed and get a headache.
