Quan Jingyi’s eyes were cold and unfriendly as looked at her.
To her credit, Li Jianyue did not dodge the question. Instead, with a genuine smile that reached her eyes, she replied, “I was told that you were a bad student and I never had the chance to see what a bad student looked like.”
With that, she turned away from him and muttered to herself, “I never thought one would look this good.”
Quan Jingyi hadn’t expected such an answer and was dazed. Soon enough, he turned away from her.
Strangely, his ears began to feel hot.
Their first lesson in the afternoon was History, and their History teacher looked like a particrly shrewd woman.
She wore a pair of rimless sses which covered her small eyes.
The moment she walked in, she pushed her sses up on her nose, and said, “Hello everyone. I’m your History teacher, Miss Zhang. Z-H-A-N-G, got it?”
“Yes!”
“I do not need uninterested students in my ss. If any of you are not paying attention, you are free to leave. Anyone who sleeps in ss or puts in half-hearted effort will be punished ordingly. Understood?”
“Understood!”
“Louder! I can’t hear you!”
“Understood!” they shouted louder the second time around.
Li Jianyue was one of the many replying enthusiastically.
Quan Jingyi nced at her with a sardonic smile, his eyes full of disdain.
Li Jianyue noticed his expression and gave him an irritated look back.
Miss Zhang pushed her sses higher on her nose and with a satisfied nod, said, “ss begins now! Open your textbooks to the first page!”
Quan Jingyi had apparently slept enough during their break and stayed away for the remainder of the lesson.
He opened his textbook and sat in a daze.
Since young, Li Jianyue never had an outstanding IQ and in order to keep her grades up and not fall behind, she was especially conscientious in ss and paid careful attention.
As she listened intently to the lesson, she suddenly heard someone exim.
Immediately, a white object flew over.
Li Jianyue finally saw what it was. She then realised that it was the fountain pen that the teacher was using during the lesson!
She stiffened up in surprise before realising that Quan Jingyi had caught the pen firmly in his hand.
The students in ss erupted in murmurs and amongst themselves, they remarked, “What a good catch!”
“He’s clearly had practice! Delinquents are indeed different.”
“Who is that?”
“I heard his name is Quan Jingyi and that he’s really arrogant.”
...
“Silence!” Miss Zhang red at Quan Jingyi sternly. “Daydreaming in ss, and you still have the cheek to catch the pen? Bring it up here!”
Quan Jingyu stood up and walked to her to return the pen.
“What’s your name?”
“Quan Jingyi,” he replied indolently butplied anyway.
His carefree attitude served to ruffle the teacher’s feathers and she demanded, “Write your name on the board!”
Quan Jingyi looked irritated but with the pen in hand, he wrote his name on the board nheless.
Li Jianyue realized that his handwriting quite pleasant to look at. It was a little cursive, but definitely easy to read.
“You’re handwriting’s pretty good. Go back to your seat,” Miss Zhang remarked sternly as she pushed her sses up yet again. “Student number 17, Quan Jingyi. This is your first warning for daydreaming in ss. The rest of you, well, you better buck up.”
Li Jianyue finally understood the teacher was taking this opportunity to disy her authority!
Quan Jingyi had be the sacrificialmb.
Inwardly, she shook her head.
When she looked around at her ssmates, she found all of them sitting upright, earnestly.
The atmosphere for the rest of the ss was a lot more conducive than before, everyone was far more alert in fear of being the next target.
After ss, a few ssmates walked up to Quan Jingyi. All of them were tall and well-built. They looked at Quan Jingyi and said, “Hey, I would never have guessed! You seem to have mellowed down a lot! I thought you would punch that woman right in her face!”
