Chapter 321 Love Rival

The scorching sun is getting closer, the green is lush, and summer has arrived amid the croaking of frogs and the chirping of cicadas.

After morning self-study, Xu Cheng was called by the dean of studies, who told him some things about the baseline test. When he returned to the classroom, the class was almost about to start.

The boy sat in his seat bored and pulled out the linear algebra textbook he had prepared.

Li Qiuyang, who sat at the same table with me, was also sitting there, chewing a mushroom and chicken bun with relish.

He has a big mouth and can finish a soy milk in a plastic bag in two or three bites. Then he takes a sip of soy milk sold at the breakfast shop outside the school gate, making a "smacking" sound.

Xu Cheng's attention was drawn to him, and he looked at him and joked.

"Okay, Qiu Yang, today's breakfast is so exquisite."

Li Qiuyang coughed twice and didn't say anything. Instead, he held the bun and hid against the wall, as if he was afraid of being seen.

Xu Cheng was so annoyed that he couldn't help but make fun of him.

"What are you doing? I'm not trying to steal from you, so why are you eating like a thief? Are you guarding your food?"

"I……"

An embarrassed look appeared on the chubby boy's face, and he sobbed with a bun stuffed in his mouth.

"Get lost, I can't argue with you, just leave me alone."

After waiting for a while, Lin Wanzhou and Guo Zining in the front row also returned to the classroom.

The two girls sat in their seats with smiles on their faces, talking about the latest hit TV series.

Xu Cheng lowered his head and began to read his linear algebra notes.

Guo Zining, who was sitting in the front, suddenly turned around at this moment and glared at Li Qiuyang unhappily.

"Did you eat the breakfast I put on the table?"

“…”

Li Qiuyang lay on the desk and ignored her. He rested his head on his arms and turned it to the other side, not looking at her.

He looks like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

Guo Zining got a little angry and slapped the textbook on Li Qiuyang's desk very hard.

"Li Zhutou, I'm talking to you, are you listening?!"

This made a loud noise. Lin Wanzhou, who was standing in front of Xu Cheng, turned around and looked at Guo Zining, then exchanged a glance with Xu Cheng, with some helplessness in his eyes.

At this time, Li Qiuyang finally sat up.

"Guo Zining, what are you going to do?"

"I'm just asking you if you ate the breakfast on my table. If you're a man, just admit it."

"Yes, it's my food, what's wrong?" Li Qiuyang pouted and nodded shamelessly.

Guo Zining stared at him fiercely, but Li Qiuyang was not afraid.

Their eyes met for a few seconds.

I could feel sparks flying between the desks. This feeling was different from the usual jokes and it seemed like there was real rage between the two of them.

"Guo Zining, do you really care about that little thing so much?"

"Yes, I am a rarity."

“…You’re so disgusting!”

"What did you say?"

“That’s too much.”

Xu Cheng stood up and coughed twice to smooth things over. "Class is about to start. Stop fooling around, both of you."

Guo Zining opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Qiuyang in disbelief.

She suddenly sobbed a few times, and then tears began to flow from her eyes. She wiped them away with her hands a few times, and finally turned around, lay on the table and sobbed.

Lin Wanzhou looked at Li Qiuyang helplessly, then quickly turned around to comfort him.

Xu Cheng was also a little puzzled. He had known this pair of enemies for a long time and knew clearly that a trivial matter like eating breakfast would not suddenly cause such a big conflict.

He looked at Li Qiuyang beside him with confusion.

"What's going on between you two?"

"No, nothing."

Li Qiuyang's lips moved.

Xu Cheng clearly saw that there was some pity in this guy's eyes when he looked at Guo Zining, and his hands were struggling to clench into fists on the desk, but in the end he said nothing, and just lay on the desk with his head facing the wall.

The two of them didn't talk about reconciliation all day.

Li Qiuyang disappeared from his seat as soon as the get out of class was over and came back on time before class.

As for Guo Zining, she cried for the entire class and her eyes were a little red and swollen. She didn't cry for the rest of the time, but she was still angry and treated Li Qiuyang as air and ignored him.

Thanks to them, Lin Wanzhou was pestered by Guo Zining the whole day.

After evening self-study, Xu Cheng waited until everyone had left the classroom, leaving him alone before he stood up, humming a song as he slowly packed his schoolbag.

After he sorted all the books and put them into his bag, he looked up and saw a beautiful figure leaning against the door.

The boy was a little surprised, "I thought you were accompanying Guo Zining home."

Lin Wanzhou pouted at him playfully.

"My home is not in the same direction as hers, so why are you going back with her? Stop talking nonsense. You're just packing your schoolbag. It's been a long time since self-study. Why are you still so slow to pack it?"

"I just didn't finish solving a problem. I hesitated for a while and tried a few ideas but couldn't solve it."

"Didn't figure it out?"

When Lin Wanzhou heard that there were still questions that Xu Cheng couldn't solve, he suddenly became interested.

What could be more exciting than having her help him get what he wanted?

She walked happily towards his seat and patted his desk curiously.

"What topic, what topic?"

The boy looked at her.

"Curve Integrals and Surface Integrals."

“…”

Hearing these two words she had never heard of before, the girl felt as if she had been hit.

Her eyes went dark.

It really got dark.

Because the Education Bureau has regulations, middle schools do not support students staying up late in the classroom to study.

Therefore, at a certain time after evening self-study, the power to the teaching building will be turned off to prevent students from staying in the classroom.

However, this still cannot stop some students from wanting to involute themselves.

There are always some test takers who still choose to use flashlights or candles to fight in the classroom.

"Yeah."

The sudden darkness in front of her eyes made the girl shiver instinctively.

Her little hand instinctively reached forward and tightly grasped the clothes on Xu Cheng's chest, not daring to let go.

Xu Cheng jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, "Hiss...Lin Wanzhou, let go, let go."

The girl had not yet fully adapted to this environment, and whispered uneasily.

"Don't run away if I let go."

“I definitely won’t run.”

"You swear."

"I swear, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health..."

The girl let go of his hand and pushed him.

"Who, who asked you to swear this oath now?"

The veil of night concealed the shyness on her face, and the coolness of the night covered the hot temperature on her face.

"Don't you want me to swear now? You mean I can swear it later?" The boy rubbed his fragile chest and talked nonsense without learning his lesson.

At this time, with the help of the moonlight, he could see the scene clearly.

In the bright moonlight, the girl's long brown hair fell on her shoulders, as soft and smooth as a waterfall. She nodded slightly, with a pretty expression on her face, and her beautiful eyes were full of autumnal glances, flashing with charming light as she looked around.

"We'll talk about the future later." The girl gave an answer that she thought was the most reasonable.

You can't just agree to his weird requests.

But you can also give him a goal and let this guy work hard towards that goal .

The girl is an old master of making cakes.

And her strange imagination suddenly began to feel that this was like a game.

At the beginning, the brave man is told the reward at the end. When he reaches the end, the girl gives him her hand and tells him: "Warrior, now you get your reward", and this is exactly when the game ends.

"Have you packed yet? Let's go now, or the school will be closed."

"It's okay. There are people in the duty room. It's not summer vacation."

"summer vacation?"

Lin Wanzhou's long eyelashes fluttered up and down at him. "Were you locked up in school during the summer vacation?"

"Well……"

Xu Cheng's desire to survive told him that it would be better not to answer this question, so he slung his schoolbag over his shoulder and pushed the girl's delicate back.

"Let's go, let's go."

Lin Wanzhou sensitively dodged the guy's hand on her back, but as they walked, the small girl felt like burrowing into his arms, and her shoulders bumped against his strong chest from time to time.

Both of them could smell the familiar scent of each other.

The darkness of a person will add some horror, but the darkness of a person will add some ambiguity.

The girl suddenly thought.

If Xu Cheng suddenly pressed her against the door and kissed her when they locked the door later...

Just thinking about that scene made my face feel hot uncontrollably, and my heart beat even more wildly. I could hear the "boom, boom, boom" sound clearly in my ears.

This is a classroom!

This is where they have classes every day!

Moving to the door, the girl walked in front and began to fiddle with the door lock with her small hands.

Xu Cheng looked at her strangely, and felt it was weird that the door had not been opened for a long time. Did it take so long to open a door?

Lin Wanzhou felt so slow that he opened the door a little, but just as he opened it a little, the door was slammed shut with the girl's scream.

Standing outside the door, you could hear the sound of something rubbing against the door from behind. This sound lasted for several minutes before it became quiet.

"You're crazy... um... there are surveillance cameras..."

"It's okay. The power is out anyway, and the surveillance is definitely gone..."

After a long rustling sound, the door was slowly opened again.

The first person to come out was Lin Wanzhou. The girl's face was filled with shame and anger, as if she had done something bad, and her face was so red that water was about to drip out.

When she saw Xu Cheng leaving, she angrily stepped on his foot.

"What have you done? I gave it to you once just a few days ago!"

The boy was so frightened that he covered her mouth in panic.

"Don't talk nonsense, Lin Wanzhou. You're making people think I did something..."

Lin Wanzhou tried hard to pull his hand away.

"Bah, bah, you rascal."

"Which Li is a hooligan?"

Xu Cheng had a weird look on his face, "It's been like this for so many years, don't talk nonsense with your eyes open."

Compared to being a hooligan, Xu Cheng felt that this was just a tacit understanding.

You understand my ill intentions, and I understand your pretense of reserve.

The moonlight is hazy, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the breeze gently caresses the bright faces of the stars.

From time to time, the sounds of boarding students fighting could be heard in the dim campus. Even more obvious was the chirping of katydids in the grass, which sounded particularly melodious.

"Aunt Gao, is there any news that she will go to the province after returning this time?"

Lin Wanzhou glanced at him and said crisply.

"As it involves ministries, the news must be kept confidential."

"You want to keep it a secret from me too?"

Xu Cheng scratched his hair, and the girl looked elsewhere with a calm and complacent expression.

"Yes, we are innocent. Why should I tell you about my family's affairs? What do you have to do with my family?"

"I am your half-brother..."

The young man only said half of his words, and then under Lin Wanzhou's vicious gaze, he forced himself to hold back the last word.

Although it didn't hurt when she hit people with her little hands, Xu Cheng didn't have any particular interest in being beaten by her all the time.

Lin Wanzhou lifted the strap of her schoolbag.

"I saw a sentence the other day, saying that there is love in the world... classmates eventually become siblings, you, you should be careful that what you said may come true..."

“…”

Xu Cheng didn't dare to speak anymore.

Although for some people this is a reward and the joy of stacking buffs, it is not the case for him.

Seeing that he suddenly became silent, the girl felt panicked, wondering if Xu Cheng was angry because she didn't tell him.

She was just teasing him on purpose.

When I was worried about gains and losses, I would mutter to myself.

"I will go to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology."

"?"

Xu Cheng looked at her in surprise , "How come it happens to be... the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology?"

"Is it not good?" The girl didn't understand.

"Yes, that's good."

Gao Manman's walk into the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was definitely good news for Xu Cheng.

Given the familiarity between the two families, even if Gao Manman didn't help him, this relationship alone would be enough to help him ward off many demons and monsters.

What's more, Xu Jianghe's development also requires frequent dealings with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

But is this a coincidence, or did Aunt Gao do it on purpose?

If Gao Manman did this on purpose, then the deeper meaning and amount of information behind it would be so huge that it would be worth Xu Cheng's time to digest it slowly.

Arriving at the bus stop, Xu Cheng checked the time and found that he still had time to catch the last bus.

There were no more passengers in the carriage, so the two swiped their bus cards and sat in their usual back seats out of habit.

"By the way, why is Guo Zining so angry with Li Qiuyang today?"

"You don't know?" Lin Wanzhou turned back unexpectedly.

Xu Cheng nodded.

"I don't know. I've been busy planning the next test today and I don't have time to pay attention to this."

Lin Wanzhou looked ahead seriously and murmured his explanation.

"Li Qiuyang has a love rival."

"Rival in love?"

"Yes, it's a boy from another school. Recently..."

"Slow down."

Xu Cheng interrupted Lin Wanzhou and asked, "How do you know that Li Qiuyang...likes that person?"
