Chapter 94 Pain Relief Methods
Later that evening, the students returned to the classroom one after another to prepare for evening self-study. As soon as they entered the room, they were attracted by several large bags of snacks on the table.
Those classmates who knew the inside story gave Li Xian a thumbs up, praising him for being a true man of his word, someone who was willing to accept defeat.
The classmates, unaware of what was going on, joined in the commotion, praising him for being generous and magnanimous, willing to pay for it.
Li Xian was already quite vain, and after being showered with praise by everyone, he suddenly felt that the half-month's living expenses weren't so painful after all, and even felt a little smug.
To show his "sincerity," he even bought a beautifully packaged box of chocolates and presented it to Xu Lingjing separately.
Xu Lingjing hadn't planned to accept it, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Lu Yuan passing by.
She rolled her eyes and immediately changed her mind. In front of Lu Yuan, she accepted the chocolate with a bright smile and thanked Li Xian warmly.
Li Xian had never seen Xu Lingjing smile at him so beautifully before. He was overjoyed and thought to himself that the money was well spent.
Lu Yuan watched coldly, knowing better than anyone else that Xu Lingjing was just putting on an act for him, trying to create a sense of crisis and force him to rediscover her goodness.
Unfortunately, Lu Yuan is now completely immune to this approach.
If Xu Lingjing really falls for Li Xian, he would absolutely support her wholeheartedly and wouldn't even mind giving a gift of money to wish them a long and happy marriage.
Just before evening self-study began, Ye Yixian appeared at the classroom door on time.
After this period of frequent contact, the students in Class 5 had long been used to her presence, and even privately assumed that she was Lu Yuan's girlfriend.
Even though some people know that the two haven't officially confessed their feelings yet, judging from their inseparable relationship, it's only a matter of time before they get together.
Here, have some.
Lu Yuan casually handed a bag of potato chips to Ye Yixian, who had just come in.
"Where did this come from?" Ye Yixian asked, somewhat puzzled, but still took it naturally.
"It was the teacher's treat." Lu Yuan pointed to Li Xian in the classroom. Ye Yixian saw the pile of snacks and immediately understood.
"How's your brother doing?" Lu Yuan asked in a low voice, still somewhat worried that she might not handle her relationship with Ye Yizhu well, leading to a stalemate between the siblings.
"It's okay, I've explained it to him. We even went to sweep my mother's grave together yesterday. He has to go back to work in the provincial capital in a few days."
Actually, when we visited the grave yesterday, Ye Yixian "confessed" quite a few things to her brother.
For example, Lu Yuan bought her new clothes, new shoes, and even gave her a cell phone.
At that moment, Ye Yizhu asked her with a serious expression, "What was the price for getting these things? Did he ask you to be his girlfriend, or make any more outrageous demands?"
Ye Yixian said confidently at the time that Lu Yuan only asked her to be his follower, and that being a follower would even include meals.
But what she didn't dare tell her brother was that, although Lu Yuan hadn't made that request, she secretly longed to become Lu Yuan's girlfriend as soon as possible.
"Okay, then let's invite him to dinner next time he comes back. I'm busy right now and don't want to invite him."
Lu Yuan touched his cheek, which was still throbbing slightly, to show that he was very vengeful.
Then, he suddenly leaned closer to Ye Yixian, lowered his voice, and chuckled mischievously, "Your face still hurts, but your 'pain relief method' last night worked pretty well. How about helping me out again after evening self-study tonight?"
Ye Yixian's cheeks instantly turned bright red. She lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at Lu Yuan. She neither agreed nor refused, leaving him with only a bright red ear.
Just then, Xu Lingjing walked over, and the two of them had to quickly suppress their ambiguous aura and look at her at the same time.
"Lu Yuan, Ye Yixian, would you like some chocolate?" Xu Lingjing asked softly, shaking the box of exquisite chocolates in her hand.
"This is... a gift from Li Xian, right?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly amused.
The implication is clear: This was a gift from someone who meant well, and you just took it out and shared it. Did you even consider Li Xian's feelings?
Xu Lingjing could naturally hear the barb in Lu Yuan's words, but she shrugged indifferently: "If it's given to me, then it's mine. I can do whatever I want with it."
She remained as arrogant as ever, doing things her own way as always.
Just as Lu Yuan predicted, old habits die hard. Xu Lingjing may have restrained herself to some extent, but the stubbornness in her bones has not been completely transformed.
Lu Yuan waved his hand to refuse, and Xu Lingjing did not insist, but she forced a few to Ye Yixian.
Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Ye Yixian could only reluctantly accept it.
……
Evening self-study officially began, and the homeroom teacher, Wang Zhishu, entered the classroom as the bell rang.
Everyone was filled with trepidation, thinking he would appear with his second mock exam results.
Unfortunately, Mr. Wang only announced that the results were not yet available and would be known tomorrow. As a result, the hearts of all the students were hanging in suspense again, and their thoughts of reviewing had long since vanished.
Tomorrow is Monday's regular meeting again, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will be the same routine as before: the top student in the grade will go on stage to give a post-exam reflection. This is practically a staple of No. 1 Middle School.
Feeling utterly bored, Gao Zhe moved his chair aside and whispered in Lu Yuan's ear, "Brother Yuan, can you get first place again this time?"
"I think... I should be able to." Lu Yuan had actually reviewed his English exam carefully these past two days and couldn't think of any mistakes he had made. Even if he had been careless, he would only lose one or two points at most, and he was still very confident of getting first place.
It's just unknown how Xia Anqi will perform; she also has the ability to get a perfect score.
"That's good." Gao Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want Lu Yuan to mess things up this time, lest some people gossip behind his back.
During the break between classes, Lu Yuan was engrossed in doing his homework when a commotion suddenly broke out in the corridor.
He looked up and was somewhat surprised to find that the person who came was Tong Xiaowei.
Surrounded and watched by so many people, Tong Xiaowei seemed a little awkward and shy, but she still mustered up the courage to say that she wanted to find Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan quickly got up and went out, politely greeting, "Tong Xiaowei, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Um... I need to use a notebook, could you lend it to me?" She told him the name of the notebook. Lu Yuan quickly retrieved it and handed it to her. After confirming it was correct, she couldn't help but ask, "How did you do on the second mock exam?"
"It's definitely an improvement over last time. I also have to thank you for your notes; they were very helpful."
"That's good. It's my pleasure to be of help."
Tong Xiaowei smiled and nodded, and then the two fell into an awkward silence.
She actually quite enjoyed chatting with Lu Yuan, but unfortunately they could only exchange a few words each time. Standing there like that wasn't a solution, so she could only take her notes and hurriedly say goodbye.
……
The bell finally rang, signaling the end of evening self-study.
After class, Lu Yuan went straight to Class 22 and stood in the corridor at the door waiting for Ye Yixian to walk together.
Ye Yixian had just finished the test paper and was tidying up his desk, completely unaware of the commotion outside.
Until her deskmate, Wang Qingyu, excitedly patted her arm: "Yixian, look! Lu Yuan is here to pick you up after evening self-study!"
Ye Yixian was taken aback, turned her head and looked over, and sure enough, she saw Lu Yuan's figure under the corridor lights.
My heart started pounding wildly. I didn't expect Lu Yuan to actually come! So, he was serious about his request... "a method to relieve pain"?
Ye Yixian had initially thought he was just joking, but now she was caught in a dilemma of surprise and shyness, her cheeks burning and her expression becoming extremely unnatural.
