Don’t Think of Interrupting Mys Study Chapter 3.2 – Find Someone to Record the Physics Class (2)
***
Hearing the sound, everyone immediately turned back. Liu Yubai walked slowly in the dim corridor.
The autumn and winter school uniforms of The No. 3 Middle School are very distinctive. Although they choose the style of sportswear like other schools, the color is pure black and the zipper on the collar is dotted with a dark red. Even if you didn’t cultivate your body, the uniforms made people looked slender and tall. Liu Yubai likes to wear a white shirt in his school uniform, which adds a bit of gentleness and elegance to his handsome appearance.
He was holding a paper in his hand, seemed like he had just returned from the office. At Shang Nan Xiangwan’s suspicious gaze, he nodded at her unhurriedly.
“You, you know each other?” Wang Xiang yelled in surprise.
Liu Yubai ignored her, but said to Nan Xiangwan, “Wait a minute, I’ll get it for you.” After finished speaking, he nodded to her again, but this time the corner of Liu Yubai’s lips rose slightly. He seemed to smile at her.
After Liu Yubai left, Wang Xiang pestered Nan Xiangwan and asked, “When did you meet? How did you meet? Are you familiar with him? What do you ask him for?”
Wang Xiang was the only girl who entered the Rocket Class among the more than 50 students in the class during the high school placement exam. Even though her grades are at the bottom of the Rocket class, she has left others far behind. She thought that Nan Xiangwan, who was in the Disciplinary class, only knows one person in Rockets class. She didn’t expect that she would know someone else and it is the unattainable Liu Yubai.
“Hmm…” Nan Xiangwan concealed her guilty conscience by fiddled with her hair and said nothing more.
The enthusiastic Wang Xiang seemed to be poured cold water on her head. Her face suddenly became cold. Obviously she was not very satisfied with Nan Xiangwan’s reaction, thinking she was guarding herself and deliberately didn’t want to say more.
“Okay, okay. Don’t say if you don’t want to. I’m not the kind of gossiping person.” When Wang Xiang finished speaking, she curled her lips in disdain, but her eyes stayed on Nan Xiangwan’s face. Looked at it one by one, as if trying to dig out some information from her face.
Not long, her eyes suddenly enlarged. Her mouth opened into an “o” shape, even Chen Shiyun, who had always been calm, was taken aback.
Liu Yubai is back. He is holding a book. From the cover, it seems to be the original novel of a popular movie. Although the movie has been released in China, the novel has not been released yet. So he has an original English book in his hand, which was sent to him from abroad by his diplomat father.
Liu Yubai said to Nan Xiangwan, “Here. Tell me after you finish reading it.”
“Huh?” Nan Xiangwan was confused but under everyone’s gaze, she still took it.
Chen Shiyun is good at English and is also very interested in the original English books, but she has never asked Liu Yubai to borrow it. Because everyone who spoke to Liu Yubai, he refused. Liu Yubai not only didn’t lend the book to others, he didn’t even let others touch it.
What Chen Shiyun did not expect was that this time, Liu Yubai not only took out the book, but also lend Nan Xiangwan the latest one that he hadn’t finished reading.
Chen Shiyun had to look carefully at the girl in front of her. This was the first time she looked at a stranger so carefully. “Does she understand?” Chen Shiyun asked in her heart.
At the same time, Wang Xiang on the side had already asked the same question, “Do you understand?” But for a moment, she smiled and added, “I can’t read it.” When she said this, she unconsciously raised her chin. She did not show the shame and low self-esteem that she should have at this moment.
Nan Xiangwan knew that Wang Xiang’s English was good, otherwise she would not friends with Chen Shiyun. Wang Xiang said this only to take the opportunity to suppress her. Of course, Wang Xiang herself could say that she “cannot read”. If Nan Xiangwan said that, she would definitely jump up and bite herself.
Jump if you want to jump. Bite if you want to bite. She, Nan Xiangwan, is not afraid.
Nan Xiangwan looked back at her, neither humble nor arrogant, “So…” Before she hasn’t finished speaking yet, Liu Yubai on the side raised his hand and motioned her not to speak.
At this moment, Liu Yubai turned to Wang Xiang and said slowly: “Why is it matters if you don’t understand, it’s not lent to you anyway.” He deliberately ignored Wang Xiang’s expression and said to Nan Xiangwan, “Go back, class is about to start.”
“Oh.” Nan Xiangwan promised, holding the book and left.
Seeing Nan Xiangwan went down the stairs and disappeared, Liu Yubai turned around blankly and walked towards Rocket class.
Looking at Liu Yubai’s tall and straight back, Wang Xiang is still indignant, “I don’t believe she can read it. You haven’t been in the same class with her so you don’t know. But I know her thoroughly. Her English is terribly poor, otherwise there might be hope get into Rocket class.”
Wang Xiang seized the opportunity to tell Nan Xiangwan’s jokes in English class. Chen Shiyun didn’t seem to want to listen very much. She sighed and said indifferently: “I don’t think they know each other at all.” She would think so not because of Liu Yubai. In fact, Liu Yubai’s performance is flawless. It’s just that girl’s reaction was too strange thus make her think so.
Wang Xiang’s eyes lit up, and she yelled, “It’s possible! I just said, how could she know Liu Yubai. No! How could Liu Yubai know her! Pretending to know each other, we are almost deceived by them. I don’t know what to pretend. He also gave her a book that was never touched. She is really sick!”
After Wang Xiang finished speaking, she snorted contemptuously. Chen Shiyun glanced at her, without speaking.
The thing she wanted to do was not done yet, and she was inexplicably ridiculed by others. Nan Xiangwan’s mood was a little depressed. In order to leave a dashing back, she made great efforts to avoid making her steps too ugly. After she had already stepped out of everyone’s sight, Nan Xiangwan immediately lay on the railing and gasped like a dead dog.
“Hi…It’s so, so painful…”
Not long, she straightened up again just like being electrocuted. It turned out when she was lying down just now, the English book accidentally hit the railing. There was some dust on the railing. She don’t know if the book was dirty.
Nan Xiangwan carefully wiped the back cover of the book with her sleeve, and then turned around to wipe the front cover. The place where the sleeves are brushed is a portrait of the hero of the novel. Like Liu Yubai, he has a pair of clear eyes.
Nan Xiangwan couldn’t help but sighed. Woke up! Everything has changed. She went to Disciplinary class. Her homework was messed up. Her parents kept arguing, but still had to live together reluctantly. Only one thing has not changed -Liu Yubai is still so good.
Suddenly, the tune of “Jasmine Flower” came from the speaker, and the class bell rang. Nan Xiangwan picked up the book and hurried to the fourth floor. Because of her injuries, after she reached the fourth floor, she didn’t stop and slammed into a person.
(*Jasmine Flower《茉莉花》is a famous Chinese folk song. The song has long history and originated in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. See this reference video to listen to the song)
Nan Xiangwan’s first reaction was to check the book in her arms. After confirming that the book was okay, she went to see the person she hit. Just a glance, Nan Xiangwan wailed in her heart. That person face looked like someone who is swallowing a bitter gourd and she couldn’t help crying. That person was not someone else, it is the biology teacher who was going to teach Disciplinary class.
“Sorry, sorry.” Nan Xiangwan repeatedly apologized.
The biology teacher glared at her without speaking.
Nan Xiangwan was in a bad mood. When she returned to her seat, she had a cold face, clearly showing a “do not approach” look but Lin Xiaoran ignored it.
“Why did you just come back now?” Lin Xiaoran felt that there was no one in this world who should enter Rocket class other than Nan Xiangwan. She is like a machine with a preset program, there is only learning in her mind. She can stay in a daze, drink no water, not going to the toilet, no talk, or sleep. She use all the time she had to read and do questions.
Therefore, when Lin Xiaoran happened to turned around and found Nan Xiangwan was not in her seat, he felt uncomfortable. Where did she go? Who is she with? What did she do? It must be a very important thing, let her put down the exercise books and leave her seat. Eventhough there are thousands of questions in his heart, only a few words really blurted out, “Where have you been?”
Nan Xiangwan ignored him. She was looking for a book in her schoolbag with her head down.
Lin Xiaoran didn’t ask further, but stretched his hand to the English book that Nan Xiangwan had just put down.
“Don’t move!” Nan Xiangwan whispered, quickly pulled the English book back. After she got the book, she didn’t forget to check it carefully. After she was sure that there was no problem, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
She and Liu Yubai had been classmates and she knew his temperament. Knowing that these books were very important to him, it was just a stopgap measure to give it to her today. Don’t break the books.
It was the first time that Lin Xiaoran saw her nervous over such a little thing. If he read it correctly, it seemed to be an English original book. He retracted his hand in embarrassment, his expression still arrogant, “Where did it come from?”
“It’s none of your business.” Nan Xiangwan put the book away. Her upper body straightened, but her neck was tilted in the direction of the aisle so that she could see what was written on the blackboard.
She suddenly remembered something. “By the way, why did you go home alone? How about Chen Shiyun?” When Nan Xiangwan went back home, she occasionally met Lin Xiaoran walking on the sidewalk with his hands in his pockets and earphones in his ear. The squirrel doll on the schoolbag is still there, but there’s no Chen Shiyun.
Lin Xiaoran did not answer her question but smiled disdainfully, “Do you know her name?”
“Ahem…” Nan Xiangwan realized that she exposed herself and hurriedly said: “I know more or less the students in Rocket class.” Nan Xiangwan didn’t want to admit that Chen Shiyun was the top student. Forget it, anyway, she also have been in the Rockets class.
The smile on Lin Xiaoran’s lips gradually deepened, as if provocatively asked: “Oh? Who else do you know?”
The gaze that was originally placed on the blackboard fell on Lin Xiaoran. Nan Xiangwan gave him a secret look and cursed in her heart. What with his attitude, as if he didn’t believe she could know someone from the Rockets class? Frankly speaking, she knew everyone in the Rockets class, but she was too lazy to talk to him.
Nan Xiangwan set her eyes on the blackboard again, and said perfunctorily: “I don’t know the others.”
“Ah…” Lin Xiaoran gave another scornful smile. Nan Xiang Wan almost died of anger.
Forget it, don’t mind him. When she return to the Rocket class, let him know how good she is!
