029 – “What a, turn off the fan,” Xu Xia said as she picked up the exalish exa Sen nodded and walked over to turn off the fan

Xu Xia held the booklets in her hands If she were to only lower her head slightly she would be able to see the underside of He Zhao's desk

Seeing Xu Xia about to stand up, Xie Yu snatched his hand back like he'd been electrocuted

He Zhao reacted more slowly He watched Xie Yu look down and continue to answer questions, then blinked and closed his hand, once again enfolding the wad of paper within his fingers

Xu Xia didn't notice anything unusual

After picking up the papers, she glanced around, then opened her book and kept reading

Tang Sen noticed a student flipping through their book, trying to find the right word to fill in the blank He stopped by the student's desk and, without saying a word, rapped the desk in warning

The fan slowed to a stop

There were four people in front of Xie Yu and all of them were anxious The answers hadn't reached them yet If they weren't passed on, they wouldn't have time to copy them

The one at the head of the row finally couldn't help himself and turned back to ask the student behind hioods?”

The latter indicated he didn't know and turned back, too ”Is it still with Zhao-ge? When will it get here?”

”Don't know”

”Hurry him up We can't wait anymore There's no more time”

The fourth student in line was tasked with a heavy responsibility, but he didn't have the courage ask Xie Yu's legend circulated the school to this day He suggested: ”Maybe… we should show our true abilities…”

With the reality of having to rely on their own abilities sinking in, the four brothers-in-arer expected to receive the answers He Zhao, on the other hand, remained loyal He waited several ain ”The answers Quick”

Xie Yu bestowed upon hile word: ”Scram”

”So cold,” He Zhao said ”Look up and take a look Those four buddies Look at their despondent and sorrowful backs Don't you feel a pang of conscience? Do you really not have any other thoughts in your heart?”

Xie Yu: ”None of my business”

He Zhao: ”……”

”Ten lanced at his watch and reminded everyone, ”If you haven't finished your essay, watch your ti to write the conclusion now”

As Tang Sen spoke, he turned and walked toward the podiu thisof time, Xie Yu didn't turn back He reached behind him; he didn't fumble under the desk like He Zhao had He openly placed his hand against the edge of He Zhao's desk and said impatiently, ”Answers”

He Zhao froze for a second before recovering and dropping the wadded up paper ball into Xie Yu's hand

Once Xie Yu had the paper wad in hand, he tossed it towards the desks in front It didn't swerve or stray, and landed perfectly on the fourth classmate's desk

When He Zhao cah

He looked down He'd long since finished his paper, so he rested his forear him a lazy look, and he internally said, This little friend only says 'none of my business'… it's rather cute

He Zhao walked to Xie Yu's side and bent down to take a look Before he couldout, Xie Yu flipped the scratch paper over with a bang

”What're you writing? So petty” He Zhao wasn't all that concerned He changed the subject, asking casually, ”Going to the toilet?”

Xie Yu couldn't quite understand the roup toilet visits Were they unable to pee if they went on their own? So much damn nonsense He put his pen down and jeered, ”…What, do you need so his deskmate be so heartless, He Zhao touched his nose and went on his own

He washed his hands and loitered outside for a while, saying hi to reeted everyone, it was like the whole year consisted of his buddies
