Chapter 46 (2/2)

After hunting for a while, he gave up and asked his deskmate for one to borrow ”Old Xie, do you have an extra pen?”

Since discovering that bad students had a habit of not bringing writing implements, Xie Yu wanted to try it out once to show off his professional skill Now, during this pop quiz, he got his chance He said, ”I don't have a pen either”

The ”so poor their house is empty” deskmates, who couldn't produce a pen no matter how they searched, stared at each other for a while Then He Zhao tapped the shoulder of the student in front of him ”Friend, can we borroo pens?”

The student in front hunted through his pencil case ”I, I only have one” He had a lot ofutensil

He Zhao thought about it, then said, ”One is fine That's enough Thanks”

Xie Yu asked, ”One is enough?”

”You use it first” He Zhao handed the pen to him ”I haven't found a question I can answer yet, so I don't need it for now”

Xie Yu: ”……”

Xie Yu blindly answered a few questions, thinking about He Zhao's level and hoould need to answer the mid-term questions in order to knock this idiot off last place

Xie Yu adjusted his own score according to He Zhao's answers and had no idea that his last-place desk the paper, Xie Yu estimated that he would score about the sa the paper, He Zhao put it under his textbook, then lay on the desk and stealthily watched Xie Yu

Xie Yu had no idea why He Zhao was staring at hi at?”

Perhaps he was exhausted frohter, but he did look a little tired After a pause, he said, ”Bad mood”

It's a little better when I look at you

If possible… I want to hug you too

As He Zhao continued thinking, he suddenly very much wanted to ask the cripple next to hio to the internet cafe again tonight?

He Zhao had the faint ioing in the wrong direction, and he ju you'

The dis called out fro back and forth! …Too bad if you didn't finish!+ Turn your papers in!”

”Big bro flirt, your paper”

Xie Yu was checking his score again and held out his hand for He Zhao's paper without looking up, but He Zhao still hadn't done anything after a while He looked up and said, ”What's the h the rear door and proceeded to skip the next two class periods at that

But Shen Jie, attending class as usual, got a text froe, an inexplicable six words Have you ever been in love?

Shen Jie thought hard for a while and really couldn't discern the intent of the question He replied, Does a crush count?

Then his Zhao-ge went radio silent

Shen Jie still didn't understand He scratched his head He didn't understand the world his big bro lived in

He Zhao went back to the dor to catch up on sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried He endured till school let out, then couldn't take it anyself-study Fro left and right, looking terribly suspicious

He Zhao walked over and stopped in front of theHe crooked a finger and tapped at the brick beneath the”What are you doing?”

”Beware fire, beware thieves, beware Mad Dog,” Wan Da said ”Qing-jie and the others are playing Dou Dizhu and told h theand saw his little friend, tohohts, also in the Dou Dizhu lineup

Wan Da sue is like the God of Gaht now Qing-jie is about to cry”

He said Dou Dizhu, but the cards were all ly red and black pips drawn on them A thin stack was clutched in their hands, and it was difficult even to draw cards

It looked like a last-minute decision—someone had come up with the idea of a round of Dou Dizhu so they had started playing After Class 3 had gotten to know each other, they got up to all sorts of mischief

Xie Yu had the situation in hand

He had indeed won 30 thousand On a sheet of paper, in black gel ink was a 3 followed by four zeroes

He Zhao stood in the corridor, leaning against the sill, and watched with interest for a while

One of the players, Xu Qingqing, felt that she couldn't keep playing There was no fun at all in playing cards with Xie Yu, only bitterness She really wanted to go back in tile Wan Da to death before he could ask, ”Yu-ge, in for this game?”

She looked at the cards left in her hand, then left and right Seeing He Zhao outside the , her eyes lit up and she said, ”Zhao-ge, come and take your deskmate away!”

Xie Yu: ”……”

After the previous experience, the word 'take'² seemed to have beco

He Zhao didn't even have ti Dou Dizhu hack,” Xu Qingqing said ”This is a terrible ga experience”

Xie Yu put down the cards and tried to salvage his own dignity before leaving ”You play too badly”

Xu Qingqing wanted to send away this Buddha,³ so she admitted to her bad card skills ”Yes, we suck”

He Zhao said, ”Then you'reone player now”

”Me,” Wan Da raised a hand and said ”I want to play, too”

Xu Qingqing orried she'd just sent one menace away to have another take his place, so she asked carefully, ”How are your card skills?”

”I'm terrible Played since I was little and never won money,” Wan Da said ”When I play Dou Dizhu I only play on the low-level end I don't even dare think of playing with soe”
