Little Sweetheart

After school in the afternoon, Gu Siyi gave the paper to Lan Xia Qiu. Lan Xia Qiu put down her pen, took it, and looked at the handwriting on the white paper, her eyes full of joy. She looked up at Gu Siyi and smiled, and said again, "Thank you."

"It's nothing, really." Gu Siyi waved her hand and said lightly.

"Did Xia Zhijun say anything?" Lan Xia Qiu asked, her voice filled with longing.

"…" Gu Siyi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "No, he just wrote down the problem-solving process."

What did he say… What did he say… What else could he say…

Thinking of what Xia Zhijun had said and his expression at that time, Gu Siyi wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.

"Oh." Lan Xia Qiu responded, her disappointment obvious.

But Gu Siyi was immersed in her own embarrassment and didn't notice at all.

After dinner, Zheng Peipei dragged Zhang Xinyi to get their hair done. Gu Siyi went to the library with Xiang Li to do their homework.

Gu Siyi was immersed in her practice problems when a folded note suddenly flew onto her book.

Her train of thought was interrupted. She picked up the note, unfolded it, and saw it said: The boy opposite is looking at you~

Gu Siyi looked up. The seat opposite her, which had been empty when she arrived, now had a boy sitting there.

Their eyes met, and he blinked, a smile hooking up his lips.

Tanned skin, short hair, deep eyes, handsome with a hint of mischief.

Don't know him. After making this judgment, Gu Siyi lowered her head and continued to work on her problems, her heart undisturbed.

Lu Ming: "…"

So she's the cold type, interesting.

Lu Ming wrote another note, leaned over, and placed it directly beside Gu Siyi's hand.

"Hi, classmate, can you tell me how to do this problem?

A locomotive was originally traveling at a speed of 42km/h. On a downhill section, its acceleration is 0.3m/s…"

Gu Siyi, who was working on her physics problems, was a little annoyed at being interrupted, but after reading the question, she realized that the other party was also in the first year of high school, and the question he asked was exactly what they were learning. The key was, she knew how to do this problem!

She picked up her pen, wrote down the solution on the paper, and then handed it back to him.

Soon, the other party handed over another piece of paper, which read: "Thank you, little sister. My foundation is too weak, I still want to ask one more question.

Starting from rest, an object moves in a straight line with a uniform acceleration of 2m/s. After 5s, the acceleration changes to 1m/s, and the direction remains the same…"

Gu Siyi read the question, wrote down the solution steps, and handed the paper back to him.

Gu Siyi felt a little burdened, worried that he would ask again, and also worried that she wouldn't be able to answer the questions he asked…

It's better to retreat first.

She bumped Xiang Li's arm next to her and whispered, "Let's go."

Xiang Li had already seen a boy passing notes with Gu Siyi. Now hearing Gu Siyi say she wanted to leave, she cooperated and got up, leaving with her.

The two walked out of the library, and a voice came from behind, "Hey, Gu Siyi~"

Gu Siyi stopped and saw the boy who had been sitting opposite her catching up. "Thank you for helping me with the problems just now. Let me treat you to a cup of tea."

"How do you know my name?" Gu Siyi asked in confusion.

The boy smiled, "I'm in Class Eight, Lu Ming. Yesterday, you played badminton with someone from our class, and I was watching from the sidelines. So many people were calling your name, how could I not remember it?"

"Oh." Gu Siyi suddenly realized.

"So you're not only good at badminton, but also good at studying."

"…" It's you who's too bad, brother! The questions I can solve are not considered difficult.

Of course, Gu Siyi wouldn't say that, she could only smile perfunctorily.

"Let me buy you a cup of tea."

"Okay." Before Gu Siyi could answer, Xiang Li readily agreed.

So the three of them left the library together and walked towards the tea shop.

Along the way, Lu Ming tried to strike up a conversation with Gu Siyi. Gu Siyi was not used to the sudden enthusiasm of a stranger and was relatively silent. It was Xiang Li who chatted with him with great interest. Lu Ming told a joke, and Xiang Li was amused and laughed, while Gu Siyi had no reaction.

"What are you thinking about, little sister?" He bent down and leaned closer to look at Gu Siyi.

Gu Siyi came back to her senses and said, "Chemical reaction equations."

Well, she just got distracted and somehow thought of what Xia Zhijun said…

These words were like a magic spell, making her feel embarrassed and ashamed when she thought about them.

Finally, they bought their tea and parted ways with Lu Ming. Gu Siyi felt that her ears were finally quiet.

Xiang Li said with unfulfilled interest, "Don't you think Lu Ming is handsome and interesting?"

"He's too noisy." Gu Siyi blurted out, "I prefer boys who are smart and don't talk much, like Xia Zhijun."

Xiang Li laughed, "Of course you think your male god is good in every way."

"What do you mean 'my'… Don't say that." Gu Siyi said hurriedly, her expression unnatural.

"Hehe, you're so close to Xia Xueshen, if he's not yours, then whose is he?" Xiang Li commented, "Xia Xueshen is handsome, but he's too cold, he doesn't talk much, he's distant. Lu Ming is more down-to-earth."

Gu Siyi retorted, "Geniuses are generally silent, those who talk a lot are stupid, just like Lu Ming just now, he couldn't even solve such simple physics problems and had to ask me. Stupid."

Lu Ming: "…"

He had caught up to ask for Gu Siyi's contact information, but before he could open his mouth, he heard her words.

So, this was the reason why she was cold to him? She liked smart boys who didn't talk much?

Lu Ming felt very heartbroken, after all, he was not bad at physics. He saw that the physics problems Gu Siyi was doing were not very difficult, so he chose easier ones to ask. What a considerate way to strike up a conversation, he couldn't ask questions that would embarrass her, right? In the end, she actually labeled him as stupid?

Lu Ming heard the disgust in her words and felt that he had to take a step back and adopt a roundabout strategy.

Xiang Li laughed, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about your Xueshen. I didn't know you were so protective of him. If we continue, who knows how many more labels Lu Ming will get."

"I'm not, we're just talking about the facts…"

.

The next morning, Gu Siyi sat in her seat, bathed in the morning reading.

Zheng Peipei arrived late, yawning, and handed a comic book to Gu Siyi, saying, "Help me pass this book to Lu Jiaye."

Gu Siyi took the book and turned her head to see Xia Zhijun sitting next to her, reading a book, chewing candy in his mouth, looking leisurely.

She hesitated to hand over the book, feeling that she was about to develop a fluency disorder in front of Xia Zhijun. She was especially afraid that if she said something, he would think she had other intentions. What should she do?

She tore off a piece of paper and wrote: Give this to Lu Jiaye.

Then she put the paper on the book and handed it to Xia Zhijun. After handing it over, she decisively withdrew, lowered her head to read, and didn't look at him again.

Xia Zhijun saw the note and turned his head to look at Gu Siyi, who was reading with her head buried like a little quail.

Ever since he teased her yesterday, she had become a frightened little quail.

Xia Zhijun crumpled the note and threw it at Gu Siyi's head.

Gu Siyi turned her head and glared at him.

Under her burning gaze, Xia Zhijun handed the book to Lu Jiaye, indicating that he was doing it on her behalf.

After morning self-study, Gu Siyi went to the cafeteria with her friends for breakfast.

Zheng Peipei showed off her new hairstyle, "Isn't it very stylish? It has this effect without perming or dyeing, doesn't it have a Hong Kong star vibe?"

Gu Siyi nodded, "Stylish, good-looking."

Zheng Peipei persuaded, "You should get a haircut too, ponytails are too old-fashioned."

"I'll think about it…" Gu Siyi was a little tempted.

After breakfast, they returned to the classroom. It was not yet time for class, and the four children gathered together, chatting and laughing.

Xia Zhijun walked straight to Gu Siyi's desk, knocked on the table, and said, "Give me a piece of chocolate."

"Oh." Gu Siyi looked for chocolate in her desk, but unexpectedly found something else. She took it out and saw that it was an exquisite heart-shaped gift box.

"Eh? Who gave you this?" Zheng Peipei leaned her head closer. "Open it and see."

Gu Siyi opened the gift box, and inside was an exquisite rose-shaped dessert.

"Wow~~" The three girls exclaimed in unison.

Xia Zhijun, who was right next to them, also saw it, his expression changing from casual to cold.

Gu Siyi was stunned. She looked left and right, and happened to meet Xia Zhijun's eyes, so she asked, "Did you buy this?"

As soon as she asked, Xia Zhijun's expression turned even uglier, and he said coldly, "It wasn't me."

"Who is it? Could it be your secret admirer?" Zheng Peipei's imagination ran wild.

Gu Siyi was extremely embarrassed, "It's just a dessert, don't overthink it."

"It looks so delicious." Zhang Xinyi said, her mouth watering.

"If you think it looks delicious, you can have it, as long as you're not afraid of being poisoned." Gu Siyi hurriedly handed the dessert to Zhang Xinyi.

"Really giving it to me?"

"Take it quickly."

Zhang Xinyi took the dessert, and Gu Siyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

During break time, Zheng Peipei leaned close to Gu Siyi and asked gossipingly, "Has anyone confessed to you recently?"

"No. Don't make wild guesses." Gu Siyi said.

"Then who gave you this?"

"Maybe they got the wrong person."

But it turned out that it was not a wrong delivery.

At noon, when Gu Siyi and her friends arrived at the classroom, they saw a large cup of Heytea and an exquisite dessert on her desk.

Gu Siyi asked a classmate who was sitting in the classroom, "Did you see who put this here?"

The other party shook their head blankly.

Zheng Peipei picked up the drink and asked Gu Siyi with a smile, "Are you going to drink it? If not, give it to me. I happen to like this one."

"No." Gu Siyi said without hesitation, "I don't dare to drink something from an unknown source."

"Who cares where it came from, look, it's not even open. It's rare that the other party is so thoughtful. There's no Heytea near the school, they specially went to the shopping district to buy it for you."

When Xia Zhijun and Lu Jiaye strolled into the classroom, Zheng Peipei deliberately raised the drink in her hand and asked, "Did any of you buy this for Little Jiuwo Meimei?"

"Heytea? There's no such thing in school, and we didn't go out, how could we buy it?" Lu Jiaye finished speaking, then felt something was wrong, and asked, "What's going on? Someone specially bought it for Meimei? Who? A boy? Don't tell me someone has their eyes on Meimei?"

"Maybe." Zheng Peipei smiled, her eyes sweeping over Xia Zhijun, who had a cold expression.

Lu Jiaye immediately rushed to Gu Siyi's desk and asked, "Meimei, who bought this for you?"

"I don't know. This person is sending me things anonymously, they must be trying to arouse my curiosity. So I've decided to kill my curiosity, I don't care who it is. I don't want to know."

Lu Jiaye applauded enthusiastically, "Cool, cool, I like how unfazed Meimei is. How could such a small favor win over our Meimei? Impossible."

Xia Zhijun, who was standing at the side, said nothing, his expression cold.

After class, Zheng Peipei went to the bathroom with Gu Siyi. When they passed by the door of Class Eight, the boys in the corridor suddenly stood up.

"Gu Siyi from Class Six is here~~" "Siyi is so pretty~~" "Sister-in-law, hello!" Several boys chimed in.

Then came various teasing remarks like "Sister-in-law~~" "Hello, sister-in-law~~" "Sister-in-law is so pretty~~" "Sixth brother, sister-in-law is here——"
