Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Gu Siyi and Zheng Peipei were surrounded by the boys, teasing them.

Zheng Peipei was still calm, but Gu Siyi, as the person involved, was extremely embarrassed and annoyed by the group of people who were teasing her about her relationship with someone she didn't know at all.

She pulled Zheng Peipei's hand, turned a deaf ear, and quickly left.

Behind them were the voices of "Sister-in-law is shy~", "Sister-in-law, take your time~", "Farewell, sister-in-law~", "Sister-in-law, come and play often~".

"Who is the Sixth Master they are talking about?" Zheng Peipei asked curiously.

"I don't know." Gu Siyi's face was tinged with anger.

"Could it be the person who gave you food?" Detective Pei continued, "First, he used gifts to create a romantic atmosphere, then he used public opinion to hype it up. It seemed like he was surrounded by stars, but in fact, it was a strong siege. Finally, he made a shining appearance to capture the heart. He is a master, really a master." The more Zheng Peipei spoke, the more interested she became. "I'll help you find out who this Sixth Master is."

"I don't want to know." Gu Siyi reacted extremely to the scene just now. No matter who this person was, he had already been sentenced to death here.

That night, Zheng Peipei, who had nothing to do, went to the library to study with Gu Siyi and the others.

Everyone was reading. Although some were reading supplementary books, some were reading extracurricular books, and some were reading novels, Zheng Peipei was very comfortable with a group of academic masters.

"Don't strive to be the best, just don't be the last." She often said.

On the way back from the library, a speeding mountain bike turned a corner and stopped in front of them.

The man on the bike was wearing a baseball cap, and his handsome face was smiling. Xiang Li recognized him at once. "Lu Ming?"

Lu Ming took out a gift box and handed it to Gu Siyi. "Hello, I'm the heart delivery man. Please accept today's little heart."

"I don't want it! You…" Before Gu Siyi could finish her words, Lu Ming turned the handlebar and rode away瀟洒.

"Tsk, he's a bit handsome." Zheng Peipei commented. "But he's a bit bad. I guess ordinary girls can't handle him."

"Come and see, what is it?" Xiang Li asked curiously.

Several people pulled Gu Siyi to the streetlight.

The lid of the box was opened, and inside were ten roonly roses arranged in the shape of a heart, and a beautiful rose doll sweetheart bear.

There was a photo embedded in the gift box. In the photo, Gu Siyi was waving a badminton racket, and there was a line of words next to it: You won the game, and you also won my heart.

Zheng Peipei said excitedly, "So all the previous gifts were sent by him? Lu Ming?"

Xiang Li said, "No wonder he asked you questions in the library the other day. He was deliberately trying to strike up a conversation…"

Zhang Xinyi: "I have an old classmate in Class Eight. I heard that Lu Ming is the most handsome boy in Class Eight. Siyi, your peach blossom luck is too good, right? You have the school grass Xia scholar, and another class grass is bending over for you."

Gu Siyi was embarrassed. "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't involve Xia Zhijun!"

Zheng Peipei said, "I decided to start practicing badminton hard from tomorrow. Maybe there will be a handsome guy chasing me."

Xiang Li joked, "Siyi, give us some of your peach blossoms. Some are dying of drought, and some are dying of flood!"

Gu Siyi: "What the hell…"

She threw the gift box into Zheng Peipei's arms, tore off the photo, and threw it into the trash can next to her.

Gu Siyi: "Throw this flower away too."

"No, no…" Zheng Peipei avoided, "It's beautiful. It's good to take it back to decorate the dormitory."

Zhang Xinyi agreed: "That's right, it's a pity to throw it away. If someone sees this rose in the trash can tomorrow, it will spread a gossip of hatred…"

Xiang Li also said with a look of regret: "At least it was given by a handsome guy, give him some face."

Zheng Peipei took the things back to the dormitory. Gu Siyi said, "Just treat it as a gift from me. I'll give him the money later."

"The boss is generous~~" Zheng Peipei said with a smile. "It seems that you are not interested in this Lu Ming at all."

Lying on the bed at night, Gu Siyi searched the Internet for the price of this bear and flowers.

After seeing the price, she almost vomited blood. It cost a total of 4,000 yuan! Four thousand yuan!

It was two full months of living expenses!!

What kind of bad luck was this…

.

At breakfast the next day, there were only a few people in Class Six.

Someone from another class came in from the back door, carrying a paper bag in his hand, walked quickly to Gu Siyi's desk, and put the things on the desk.

As soon as he turned around, a tall shadow loomed over him. The boy stepped back in fright, and looked at the person who came—Xia Zhijun, the famous scholar and school grass of the whole school, in horror. He was also one of the people who could not be messed with.

"Are you the one who delivered the things?" Xia Zhijun stared at the boy in front of him and said.

His eyes were so cold and stern, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura. The boy was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "No…it's not me…"

"Then who is it?"

"I'm just a delivery guy… I run errands for people to earn tips…"

"Who did you deliver it for?" Xia Zhijun put his hands in his pockets and approached step by step.

The boy was forced into a corner and had no choice but to confess, "Lu Ming, Lu Ming from Class Eight…"

After speaking, he ran away.

Xia Zhijun walked to Gu Siyi's desk. In the paper bag were exquisitely packaged Japanese food and soy milk. He picked up the bag and threw it into the trash can.

When Gu Siyi entered the classroom with her friends, Xiang Li was still joking, "Will we see gifts again today?"

Zhang Xinyi said, "It's possible, let's guess, what is it today?"

Zheng Peipei said, "According to his previous style, at this point in time, he should be preparing food for us to eat between classes."

Gu Siyi was speechless. "You guys are so bored."

Xiang Li and Zhang Xinyi had already switched seats with the people in front of them, and the four of them were sitting at the front and rear tables.

After taking their seats, Zheng Peipei was the first to pay attention to Gu Siyi's desk. "Hurry up and see if there are any gifts."

"No." Gu Siyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"No way?"

"Really not."

"Boring, he couldn't hold on after just a few days. He wants to pick up girls without any perseverance." Zheng Peipei complained.

Xiang Li speculated, "He just gave a big gift last night, so today's may be in the evening…"

Gu Siyi was speechless. "Oh my god, my sisters, let's study hard, and don't pay attention to a neurotic person of unknown origin all day long."

Gu Siyi had a brief WeChat conversation with her mother during breakfast, and she managed to get an advance of 2,000 yuan for next month's living expenses. Adding the 1,000 yuan in savings, she had a total of 3,000 yuan, and she was still short of 1,000 yuan.

…What should I do if I'm still short of 1,000 yuan?

With this kind of distress of lack of money, the class bell rang.

This class was a math class, and it was also Gu Siyi's serious weakness.

In the past, her highest requirement for her mathematics was to pass the exam. Now with Xia Zhijun's tutoring, her ideal has been raised a bit, hoping to get more than 100 points.

The math teacher wrote on the blackboard while talking, "Write a few questions, and I'll ask two students to come up and do them later, and the rest of the students will do them below."

Gu Siyi glanced at the few questions written on the left. They were much more difficult than the after-class exercises in the textbook, and she had no idea at all.

She could only pray silently in her heart, don't call me, don't call me…

After finishing writing the two questions, the math teacher glanced at the whole class.

Gu Siyi buried her head low, and Zheng Peipei was also looking down at the book, chanting silently, you can't see me, you can't see me…

The math teacher's eyes fell on the two ostriches and said, "Then let's ask Gu Siyi and Zheng Peipei to come up and do it."

Gu Siyi: "…"

Zheng Peipei: "…"

There was no other way, they had to go to the podium.

When Zheng Peipei got up, she bent down and said in a low voice, "Scholar, help me… I'm counting on you…"

Gu Siyi said in an even lower voice, "I don't know either… I'm a math idiot…"

Zheng Peipei said bitterly, "What bad luck…"

The two girls went up to the podium hesitantly, one on the left and one on the right, each with three fill-in-the-blank questions and one big question.

They had no choice but to bite the bullet. The first fill-in-the-blank question was relatively simple. Gu Siyi calculated and wrote down the answer.

The second one… She tried hard to solve it, and also gave an answer. The third way… The difficulty increased exponentially, she guessed an answer and filled it in, and then looked at the big question.

But this big question, although it looked simple, it was actually tricky. Gu Siyi found that she couldn't do it after every few steps, and had to overturn and start over.

As time passed by, Gu Siyi became more and more anxious, her palms sweating.

"Teacher." Xia Zhijun raised his hand.

The math teacher looked at him and motioned for him to speak.

Xia Zhijun said, "I want to go to the bathroom."

The math teacher waved his hand, "Go ahead."

"Teacher." Lu Jiaye also raised his hand.

The math teacher looked at him, his expression not so good, and asked, "Do you want to go to the bathroom too?"

"No, teacher, I have a question I want to ask you, is it convenient for you to come here?"

There was a muffled chuckle from the class. The math teacher put on a straight face and said, "Speak properly."

He walked to Lu Jiaye's side, "What's your problem?"

"It's here, teacher, look…"

As the math teacher walked towards Lu Jiaye, Xia Zhijun was walking towards the podium.

While the math teacher lowered his head to look at Lu Jiaye's question, Xia Zhijun passed by Gu Siyi, his hand moved, and he left the classroom without stopping.

Gu Siyi felt something was stuffed into her hand, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

…What is this? She was still doing the questions on the podium, why did he pass her a note!

Behind him was the voice of the math teacher explaining the question to Lu Jiaye. Gu Siyi quietly unfolded the note in her hand, her eyes widened, and a sense of unbelievable joy welled up in her heart.

The note contained the answers to the fill-in-the-blank questions and the steps to solve the big question.

The first question was right, the second question was wrong, and the third question was guessed right. She quickly corrected the wrong answer, and then wrote the steps of the big question.

After writing, Gu Siyi let out a long breath and stuffed the note into her outer pocket.

Thank goodness, Amitabha, she didn't have to make a fool of herself on the podium.

Over there, Zheng Peipei saw that she had finished writing, and said in a low voice, "Let me look at my question…"

Gu Siyi glanced over there, and almost knelt down. "Yours is even more difficult than mine…"

The two scumbags wished they could hug each other and cry.

"What should we do then…"

"Just write a few steps and deal with it…"

"I don't even know how to write blindly…"

"The students on the podium, do your own thing, don't whisper to each other." The math teacher's voice sounded from behind.

The two of them immediately fell silent.

Gu Siyi gave a look of "you are on your own", silently stepped down from the podium, and returned to her seat.

Xia Zhijun also came back at this time. Gu Siyi raised her head and met Xia Zhijun's eyes, her eyes full of gratitude as if she was looking at a living Bodhisattva.

The math teacher walked to the podium, glanced at Zheng Peipei's side, shook his head repeatedly, and said, "Go to the back of the classroom and stand there to listen to the class."

Then he looked at Gu Siyi's side, his expression changed, and he nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, Gu Siyi did a good job."

Finally, he educated Zheng Peipei, who was punished to stand, "You have to study hard with your deskmate."

Zheng Peipei lowered her head and complained crazily in her heart.

Gu Siyi was ashamed, and her heart was very complicated.

But no matter what, she was extremely grateful to Xia Zhijun for not being punished to stand and be criticized.

Finally, the class was over, and Zheng Peipei sat back in her seat with a huff, full of anger. "What kind of bad luck did I have! I was given such a difficult question to do, and it was my fault that I couldn't do it! There were so many people in the class, but he had to pick me to go up and do it. Did I forget to read the almanac when I went out today?"

Gu Siyi buried her head on the table, her forehead against the book, her hands on the table, holding her phone and sending WeChat to Xia Zhijun.

Gu Mingsiyi: "Almighty savior, I bow to you!"

X: "You're welcome."

Gu Mingsiyi: "As long as you speak, I will go through fire and water for you, and I will do whatever it takes."

X: "I heard that the one who gave you food is Lu Ming."

Gu Mingsiyi: "…"

X: "The most handsome boy in Class Eight, is he handsome?"

Gu Mingsiyi: "…"

Gu Siyi's heart was about to collapse…

Aloof scholar, since when did you become so gossipy? You even know such trivial things?

She couldn't help but turn her face away quietly, wanting to see the expression on the gossipy man's face.

Unexpectedly, she didn't see the gossipy expression she had imagined. The scholar's face was so cold that it was about to freeze, and his lines were cold.

She decided to change the subject and stop talking to him about such annoying gossip…

Zheng Peipei and Xiang Li's constant complaints were ringing in her ears, and Gu Siyi felt very sad.

Gu Mingsiyi: "Why didn't you help Peipei by the way?"

X: "None of my business."

Gu Mingsiyi: "…"

X: "Is Lu Ming handsome?"

Gu Mingsiyi: "Can you stop mentioning this person, he's annoying."

X: "Why?"

Gu Mingsiyi: "He made me a pauper!"

X: "What do you mean?"

"Siyi, what are you doing! Playing with your phone secretly…" Zheng Peipei patted Gu Siyi on the shoulder, interrupting her typing. Gu Siyi quickly exited the WeChat interface, raised her head and said, "I'm browsing Taobao, looking at things."

Zhang Xinyi asked, "Could it be that you are looking at the flowers and bear that Lu Ming gave you last night?"

On the other side of the corridor, Xia Zhijun looked over with sharp eyes.
