Little Sweetheart

Gu Siyi had just put down her phone when Xia Zhijun came to sit beside her.

Xia Zhijun said, "Let me go over the wrong answers with you."

Gu Siyi thought, "Isn't this pace too fast? We just had a break, and I haven't even finished my cupcake."

But when she glanced at the test paper in Xia Zhijun's hand, she saw many red marks. Were those all the places where she had made mistakes?

She was immediately disheartened. "I got so many wrong… I did it very carefully and worked very hard…"

"Not many. Your accuracy rate is close to 60%."

Gu Siyi thought, "…60% isn't even a passing score, why does he make it sound so good?"

"Besides, now that you've gotten them wrong, I know where the problem is, and it's better to help you fill in the gaps."

Gu Siyi didn't know what to say, so she just nodded her head obediently.

Xia Zhijun's explanations were easier to understand than the teacher's lectures.

She didn't know if it was because of the one-on-one tutoring, or because his voice was so pleasant to listen to…

Every time he finished explaining the thought process of a question, Gu Siyi felt a sense of enlightenment.

But she wasn't really a person who could concentrate for a long time. After listening to him attentively for half an hour, she had already exceeded her usual limit of concentration. Her thoughts drifted uncontrollably…

Her eyes fell on his hand holding the pen, carefully admiring the white and slender fingers. Really beautiful, these were hands that could play the piano…

Xia Zhijun gently tapped the table twice, his expression serious.

Gu Siyi came back to her senses, sat up straight, and looked at him cautiously.

Xia Zhijun said, "…"

He wasn't a very patient person. In the past, when he tutored others, he would explain at most twice. If they got distracted, there would be no next time.

But seeing Gu Siyi's guilty expression, her big eyes watery and carrying a hint of flattery as she looked at him, not daring to say a word, just so cowardly and well-behaved, looking like she would accept any punishment…

Why hadn't he noticed before, that a bad student could be so cute?

Xia Zhijun held back his laughter, raised his hand to cover her head, and made her look at the test paper, whispering, "Don't act cute, listen carefully."

Gu Siyi thought, "…Heaven knows, I'm scared to death, who would dare to act cute with you."

After a brief distraction, Gu Siyi's attention returned, and she continued to listen attentively.

As lunchtime approached, Starbucks became crowded.

This secluded corner upstairs gradually filled up.

Two exquisitely dressed women, tired from shopping, came over to relax and sat down next to them. They were attracted by the young, handsome boy and girl next door, and frequently looked over, whispering and laughing.

"Are they in high school or college?"

"Judging by their diligence, they should be high school students…"

"Why do I feel a sense of 'su' even when I watch them do their homework?"

"Have you noticed that the little brother is a top student, he's been tutoring the girl."

"If I had such a handsome top student to tutor me in high school, my life would be completely different now."

"Forget it, when I was in school, there wasn't a single boy in our class who was pleasing to the eye… Top students and school idols only exist in other people's worlds."

Their whispers were heard by Gu Siyi. They weren't that far apart, so unless they were whispering in each other's ears, it was inevitable that their words would travel next door. Gu Siyi felt inexplicably embarrassed. @Unlimited good books, all on Jinjiang Literature City

Xia Zhijun remained unfazed until he finished explaining the last question.

Finally, he concluded, "Look, 15% of your mistakes were due to carelessness. If you remove this part, your accuracy rate would increase to 70%."

Gu Siyi said, "Careless mistakes are inevitable, right?"

Xia Zhijun said, "Why are they inevitable? I never make careless mistakes."

Gu Siyi mumbled, "That's because you're a top student, ordinary people can't compare."

Xia Zhijun packed up his things, glanced at her, and said indifferently, "You're the person a top student likes, ordinary people can't compare either."

"…" Gu Siyi was speechless, embarrassed once again.

I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't argue with him again.

"Let's go, let's have lunch." Xia Zhijun took Gu Siyi's hand.

Gu Siyi was pulled by him, obediently following him, but the blush on her face lingered, and she didn't even dare to raise her head, as if she was doing something bad and was afraid of being seen by the people around her.

"So they're a young couple, and the top student is the more dominant one."

"Of course the boy should be more dominant, the girl is a little shy, hee hee."

"If my daughter tells me she's dating a top student in the future, I will definitely agree with both hands and feet. She's only in second grade, and the homework is killing me. Every night, tutoring her homework is like a family war. I can't wait for her future in-laws to take her away…"

"Haha…"

Xia Zhijun led Gu Siyi out of Starbucks. There were people coming and going on the street, and Gu Siyi immediately struggled to free her hand.

Today was the last day of the sports meet, and those who didn't participate were basically on holiday. What if they ran into their classmates…

Xia Zhijun didn't force her, put his hands in his pockets, and asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"Anything, fast food is fine."

"That won't do." Xia Zhijun took out his phone and searched for a while, then said, "Let's go, let's have Japanese food."

Gu Siyi followed Xia Zhijun to a Japanese restaurant. The restaurant was decorated in a poetic and retro style, with a stylish front and back courtyard. There was a bamboo water feature in the small hall, the water flowing slowly, elegant and lively.

Of course, the prices here were also beautiful. A private kitchen customized meal, 800 yuan was the minimum standard.

Seeing that they were two students, the waiter made it clear in advance, and Xia Zhijun nodded lightly.

Gu Siyi thought it was expensive, but they were already here, and they were led by a dedicated person, it would be awkward to just leave…

She made up her mind to pay the bill after eating and then ask her parents for reimbursement. It was only right to treat him to a meal after he had tutored her for a day.

Xia Zhijun once again took Gu Siyi's hand, passed through the courtyard and the small hall, and entered the main hall.

There was a large cooking counter in the main hall, where diners could sit and watch the chef prepare the food while they ate.

Xia Zhijun took Gu Siyi to a private room. Although the probability of meeting classmates here was very low, he still wanted to give her a more private space.

The round window in the private room reflected a hazy glow, and the two sat down at the low table in the tatami room.

The antique and elegant design gave people a sense of tranquility.

Gu Siyi sighed, "Your living standards are very high."

When she went out to eat with her classmates in junior high school, it was mostly fast food or small restaurants. A 200 yuan per person buffet was considered a big meal.

Xia Zhijun picked up the hot towel that was offered and said, "No, I'm a very casual person."

But when he was with her, he preferred more elegant places where they could enjoy their time together comfortably.

Of course, there was also the burden of being a boyfriend… He definitely wanted to take her to experience more and better things.

The first dish served was soup. The first sip was not particularly amazing, but the more you drank, the more you felt it was good, with an endless aftertaste. Then came a few exquisitely made appetizers. When the sashimi platter arrived, it was like clouds and mist, as if surrounded by fairy air.

Gu Siyi was a foodie, and every time a new dish was served, her eyes would light up and she would taste it with satisfaction. Xia Zhijun found her way of eating very cute.

As his gaze fell on her wrist, he was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why aren't you wearing your bracelet?"

"…Ah?"

"The bracelet I gave you, I haven't seen you wear it."

Gu Siyi's heart pounded, and she was speechless, at a loss for words.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, she said, "Ah, I didn't wear it these two days because of the sports meet… I forgot about it today."

"Oh." He responded lightly, "I thought you didn't like it anymore." @Unlimited good books, all on Jinjiang Literature City

"No! I like it very much!" Gu Siyi quickly denied.

I really like it, I like it very much, so I'm almost heartbroken that I lost it.

What to do… Even the top student noticed that I wasn't wearing it…

But I don't dare to tell him that I lost it, afraid that he would be unhappy, afraid that he would be upset…

Gu Siyi's mind raced, and she decided to buy another one to replace it when she had time.

By the end of the meal, they were both almost full, and the dishes were not finished yet.

Gu Siyi asked, "When are we going back to school?"

Now she wanted to go back quickly, and then pull Zheng Peipei out to buy a bracelet.

Xia Zhijun said, "Do you want to go back?"

"…" Gu Siyi, who had been seen through, nodded.

"We'll go back in the evening."

"???" She looked at him in astonishment.

Xia Zhijun said calmly, "There are two more math consolidation test papers to do this afternoon. One physics test paper and one chemistry test paper."

"…………" Is he too cruel? Ah?!

Xia Zhijun's expression turned serious, and his whole body exuded the aura of a top student. "Your foundation is not good, if you don't work hard, the midterm exam will be very dangerous."

Gu Siyi was intimidated, she bit her lip, and replied in a low voice, "Oh…"

"Also, your study habits are not good, you can't concentrate, you're always distracted."

"…" Gu Siyi wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

"Your seriousness towards math is far less than English. It will be difficult to get a high total score in the college entrance exam with such a partial subject."

Gu Siyi imagined herself silently squatting in a corner, listening to the top student lecturing her while waving a whip behind her.

Xia Zhijun was still talking, and Gu Siyi couldn't help but interrupt, "I know, can you stop nagging?"

Xia Zhijun: "…"

After mustering up the courage to resist, Gu Siyi became intimidated again and lowered her head, not saying a word.

Xia Zhijun came out of his state of being both exasperated and disappointed, and felt a little speechless at himself.

He was also too anxious, afraid that she would not be with him if she did not do well in the exams, and he could not help but educate her.

The little girl opposite him buried her head and remained silent, obviously unhappy.

Xia Zhijun softened his voice and asked, "Are you full?"

"Yes." She nodded.

"Then let's go."

After getting up, Xia Zhijun took Gu Siyi's hand, and Gu Siyi immediately struggled.

Xia Zhijun took her hand again, and Gu Siyi struggled again, saying, "Stupidity is contagious… Don't let me drag you down…"

Xia Zhijun grabbed her hand and chuckled, "You're so cute even when you're throwing a tantrum? What should I do if I like you even more?"

"…Who's throwing a tantrum with you?" Gu Siyi blushed.

A combination of tough love and sweet talk, how could the little girl resist?

When it was time to pay, Gu Siyi took out the supplementary card her father had given her and said, "You tutored me today, it's on me."

Xia Zhijun took the card back and said, "Every penny I spend on you is earned by myself. It's not good for you to use your parents' money to treat a boy to a meal, right?"

Gu Siyi was a little speechless, "I haven't earned any money yet…"

"So let me pay for it now." Xia Zhijun took out his card to pay. "You can treat me when you have the ability to pay."

"But…" "Be good."

The receptionist looked at the cute couple and chuckled, very cooperatively taking Xia Zhijun's card.

In the afternoon, Xia Zhijun took Gu Siyi to a quiet, niche cafe, so there would be no noise to disturb them.

It was another round of brushing up on questions, explaining, reviewing, and correcting mistakes.

Although Gu Siyi had a rebellious heart when she was being lectured, she also knew her shame and then courage, and in the afternoon, she devoted herself to studying with even more concentration.

It was too embarrassing to be lectured by a top student, and she didn't want to experience that sour feeling again…

The two had dinner at the cafe, and they studied until the evening. Xia Zhijun had completed his planned schedule.

On the way back to school, he said, "Digest these questions well in the next two days and make sure you have a 100% accuracy rate."

"Okay." Gu Siyi nodded. This day was much more tiring than a day of classes. But after getting through it, she felt more confident about the exam and fulfilled.

--

In the girls' dormitory.

Xu Lin asked Lan Xiaoxiao a question, and after explaining it, the two chatted for a while.

After discovering that Gu Siyi was popular and got along well with everyone, Lan Xiaoxiao deliberately changed her personality and began to interact with the people around her.

Xu Lin glanced around and saw the bracelet placed in the gap of the bookcase. She picked it up and looked at it. "Wow, you have the same bracelet as Siyi."

Lan Xiaoxiao's expression changed, and she quickly took the bracelet back.

Zheng Peipei was playing games on her bed. This sentence suddenly jumped into her ears, and she couldn't even care about the game anymore. She threw down her phone and rushed behind Lan Xiaoxiao like the wind, snatching the bracelet.

"I'll be damned… Did you steal this bracelet from Siyi?" She glared at Lan Xiaoxiao.

Lan Xiaoxiao stood up, approaching her. "I bought this myself, give it back to me!"

Zheng Peipei stepped back. "What a coincidence, you bought the exact same one as Siyi?"

"Zheng Peipei, give me back my things!" Lan Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, and she shouted angrily.

Zheng Peipei refused to give in. "You said you bought it yourself, then show me your Taobao order! Show me the evidence before you say anything!"

Lan Xiaoxiao said forcefully, "I bought it at the mall!"

"Where's the receipt? Do you have it? If not, take me to the counter and check the purchase records there."

"Zheng Peipei, are you done? Why should I prove it to you? This is something I bought myself! You're just slandering me!"

"Then why should I believe you? I've never seen you wear this bracelet before, and it just so happens that Gu Siyi lost hers, and you have the exact same one here! Do you think everyone else is stupid? You say you bought it, so you bought it?"

"I bought it! Give me back my things!" Lan Xiaoxiao approached Zheng Peipei and reached out to grab it.

As the two struggled, Zheng Peipei's back hit the back of the chair, and the pain made her even more furious.

She had never been bullied before, and whoever dared to provoke her would not end well until she tore them apart.

She immediately got into a fight with Lan Xiaoxiao. Lan Xiaoxiao was holding back her anger, and she was also desperate.

When Gu Siyi returned to the dormitory building, she saw the dormitory manager rushing upstairs, and someone around her said, "There's a fight in room 302…"

Room 302? Isn't that my room? Gu Siyi quickened her pace and followed.

When she stood at the door of the dormitory with the dormitory manager, she saw Zheng Peipei and Lan Xiaoxiao fighting fiercely inside, pulling each other's hair, biting, kicking… The battle was fierce.

They rushed forward and pulled the two apart.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Gu Siyi asked hurriedly.

Zheng Peipei was still holding the bracelet, her trophy, tightly in her hand. She handed it to Gu Siyi with a triumphant look and said, "Look, isn't this the bracelet you lost? Lan Xiaoxiao stole your bracelet and said she bought it herself! Bah, shameless!"

Gu Siyi took it, stunned for a moment. It was indeed exactly the same…

However… she said objectively, "I added another bead to it later, this one doesn't have it."

Zheng Peipei snorted, "A guilty conscience, she must have taken one off and thrown it away."

Lan Xiaoxiao shouted angrily, "Everything in the world belongs to you, how shameless!"
