Chapter 669 All I Want Is Celine


    Celine returned to her seat and noticed Rowen looking at her. Subconsciously, she touched her cheek


    again.


    Rowen frowned. “Do you girls enjoy kissing each other?”


    “I... No,” replied Celine, not knowing how to exin it either.


    Just then, the physics teacher walked in, and Celine didn''t dare to say anything more.


    Celine''s understanding of physics wasn''t particrly good, but it wasn''t bad either. However, when


    compared to her math skills, her physics could be considered quite good.


    Of course, with Rowen, who scored full marks in physics, sitting next to her, Celine dared not lose


    focus during ss.


    The final ss of the day was biology. Once biology ss was over, school was done for the day.


    Celine and Harper had been meeting with An for math tutoring after ss for a while. That day was


    no exception. There were some questions the teacher had discussed that the two of them still didn''t


    fully understand.


    Usually, Rowen would leave the ssroom as soon as school ended, but that day was an exception.


    Not only did he not leave, but he also asked Celine, “Have you been meeting with An for tutoring?”


    Celine paused for a moment, then nodded. “Yes. An is quite good at math.”


    Upon hearing her words, Rowen couldn''t help but raise an eyebrow. “My math isn''t good enough for


    you?”


    Celine was taken aback as she hadn''t expected him to suddenly bring that up. Rowen''s question had


    left her speechless.


    Just as Harper came over, she was taken aback by what Rowen had said.


    She nced at Celine, then at Rowen, hesitating momentarily. “How about you head home first,


    Cece?”


    Rowen nced at Harper, scoffed coldly, and walked away with his backpack.


    Seeing the situation, Irving quickly stepped forward from the door. “Rowen, are we still going today?”


    Rowen asked sternly, “Why not?”


    Sensing Rowen''s displeasure, the smile on Irving''s face faded slightly. He responded with an “All right”


    and dared not say anything more.


    After seeing Rowen leave, Harper turned to Celine and suggested, “Why don''t you go and cheer him


    up?”


    Celine pursed her lips. “I''m not good at doing that.”


    “What''s the big deal? Just apologize to him and ask him for help with math in the future! Let me tell


    you, Cece. I''vee to understand that Rowen is prideful, just like any other guy! He''s consistently at


    the top of the ss in math. If you''re not asking him for help and instead going to An, then he''s


    probably—”


    Harper spoke, paused for a moment, looked around, then leaned in to whisper in Celine''s ear.


    “Jealous.”


    Celine''s face turned red in an instant. “It''s not like that. It''s just because Lewinn is asking him to help


    me more.”


    Harper pursed her lips, still feeling that Rowen always treated Celine differently.


    As for what was different, she couldn''t quite put her finger on it. All she knew was that it felt different.


    “All right, all right! Are you stilling with me to meet with An?” inquired Harper.


    Celine nodded. “Yeah.”


    “Let''s go then. An must be feeling frustrated!”


    An, forever the runner-up, always found himself trailing behind Rowen in every examination.


    Thetest exam time was no exception. Rowen scored a total of six hundred and eighty-eight points,


    while his score was ten points less. Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    The difficulty of the midterm exam was quite high, with everyone generally scoring ten to twenty points


    lower than the final exam of thest semester.


    Rowen had always been a bit weak in literature and Ustranasion. It was clear that he didn''t do well in


    those subjects in the midterm exams.


    Meanwhile, An didn''t have issues with those two subjects. Despite that, he still fell behind Rowen by


    ten points in second ce, which naturally left him feeling frustrated.


    When Harper took Celine to find An, An was indeed sighing while staring at his own report card.


    Harper walked in directly through the back door and patted him on the shoulder. “Hey, stop sighing.


    Come and discuss the math paper with us! Cece even pushed Rowen aside to listen to your analysis.


    What are you still upset about?”


    When An heard those words, his eyes lit up. “For real?”


    “Why would I lie to you? Rowen just stormed off because of Cece! If you don''t believe me, go ask Cece


    yourself!”


    An knew he couldn''tpare to Rowen, but Harper''s words still managed to restore some of his


    confidence.


    Moreover, he heard that both Harper and Celine did well in their exams, even passing their math tests.


    Having spent some time exining math problems to them recently, he could be considered a teacher


    to Harper and Celine.


    Since his “students” did well in the exam, An felt a sense of aplishment.


    After listening to Harper''s word of encouragement, An swept away his gloom, grabbed his math


    paper, and followed Harper out.


    Half an hourter, Celine and Harper, each carrying a backpack, left the ssroom building.


    An''s exnation for thest multi-part question of the paper was somewhat chaotic, so Celine didn''t


    fully understand it yet.


    Hence, on her way back, she kept thinking about that question. Unexpectedly, just as she reached the


    school gate, a familiar male voice stopped her. “Celine!”


    Harper was also somewhat surprised. After turning in the direction of the voice, she saw a tall boy


    dressed in a loose Trinity Heritage Academy uniform. He was sitting on the flower bed to the right of


    the school gate.


    The boy still had a lollipop in his mouth, and he was quite good-looking. However, his sloppy school


    uniform made him look like a delinquent.


    Without thinking, Harper instinctively shielded Celine behind her. “Cece, do you know him?”


    Celine nodded slightly and stared at Enzer, who was approaching him. Feeling a bit of a headache, she


    asked, “Why are you here?”


    After ncing at Harper, Enzer went straight to Celine, tugging her. “I''m here to see you. We''ve


    finished our midterms, and I did really poorly. I need you to tutor me.”


    Celine gently pried his hand away. “You should hire a home tutor, then. The curriculum at Gautier High


    School is quite intense. I''m having a bit of trouble keeping up.”


    Harper was not as oblivious as Celine. She could tell at a nce that Enzer was fond of Celine.


    Seeing that he probably meant no harm, she let her guard down and watched the scene unfold like a


    casual bystander.


    “You did poorly on the exam?” wondered Enzer.


    “My math sucks.”


    Enzer was unperturbed. “It''s not like I need your help with math! My mom said if I can rank within the


    top three hundred in the final exams, she''ll give me fifty thousand as New Year mary gift. If that


    happens, I''ll share half of it with you!”


    Celine realized that Enzer had misunderstood her. “It''s not about the money.”


    Enzer raised an eyebrow, looking as if he had thought of something. “We''re old ssmates. Can''t you


    tutor me over the weekend?”


    Celine had a hard time saying no to people, especially when they appealed to her sense of


    camaraderie.


    Even though she didn''t have much of a rtionship with Enzer, she found it hard to refuse him when he


    put it that way.


    Seeing Celine''s dilemma, Harperughed and said, “I''m short on cash, and, not counting math, my


    grades are pretty good. How about I tutor you?”


    Enzer furrowed his brows. “I don''t know you. I only want Celine to tutor me!”


    “Hmph! Are you sure all you want is for Cece to tutor you? It seems more like you''re trying to pursue


    Cece.”
