Chapter 48
That day, Lu Weize was sulking, and I had no idea what was wrong with him.
It turned out he was upset because he saw me huddled together with the class representative discussing math problems.
The class representative was sitting very close, close enough for me to smell my own fragrance.
Lu Weize was seething with jealousy.
"Lu Weize, calm down," Zhao Xinghai tried to soothe him. "Lin Chu just wants to ask a question."
"Why doesn't she ask me!" Lu Weize gritted his teeth.
"You... aren't you bad at math?" Zhao Xinghai had to say.
Lu Weize got even angrier.
I poked Lu Weize's arm with the math paper in my hand.
"Lu Weize, how do you solve this problem?"
His mood instantly brightened; he raised his eyebrows proudly at the class representative and picked up a pen to start explaining.
"Here, you need to use the formula first..."
Lu Weize's way of explaining was very straightforward, but my mind wasn't quite working well.
After a long explanation, I was still confused.
"The class representative explains it better," I said as I put away the test paper and turned to the class representative. "Can you explain it to me again?"
Lu Weize's face turned pale with anger.
"Lin Chu, you..."
I looked at him in confusion. "Lu Weize, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Weize held back for a long time before finally sitting down in frustration.
"It's nothing!"
I ignored him and continued to ask the class representative for help.
The class representative noticed that Lu Weize was unhappy and quietly said to me, "You might want to stop asking me here, or else Lu Weize will hate me."
I shook my head. "It's fine, he has a good temper."
Class Representative: "…"
"Lin Chu!" Lu Weize couldn't hold it in any longer and slammed the table, "Why are you asking him!"
The whole class turned to look at me.
"Lu Weize, what’s wrong with you?" I was startled.
"What’s wrong with me?" Lu Weize coldly glared at the class representative, "Why don’t you ask him why he’s explaining problems to you?"
Class Representative: "…"
"Lu Weize, that's enough." I was getting a bit angry too. "The class representative is willing to help me, and I want to ask him. Why are you so upset?"
"Lin Chu, you…"
Zhao Xinghai quickly pulled him back. "Lu Weize, come on, it's not a big deal."
Lu Weize sat down feeling frustrated.
On the way home from school, Zhao Xinghai patted Lu Weize on the shoulder.
"Lu Weize, are you being too petty?"
"I'm petty?" Lu Weize pointed at himself, his eyes wide open.
"Yeah, Lin Chu was just asking a question," Zhao Xinghai said, "You're being too dramatic."
"I..." Lu Weize was momentarily speechless.
"Are you afraid Lin Chu will ignore you?" Zhao Xinghai looked at me with a half-smile, "Afraid she'll find you annoying?"
Lu Weize's expression changed.
"Did I hit the nail on the head?"
"Not at all." Lu Weize turned his face away, "She wouldn't dare ignore me."
"Then why are you angry?"
"I..."
The next day in class, I was doodling on a piece of paper with my pen.
Curious, I leaned over and saw that Lu Weize was also working on that problem.
Moreover, he was using the most basic method to solve it.
Lu Weize pretended not to care, crumpled the paper into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.
After class, the teacher called me to the front of the blackboard to solve that problem again.
I took the chalk and wrote on the board, eventually arriving at the correct answer.
The teacher nodded in satisfaction.
"Lin Chu, how did you solve this problem?"
I answered honestly, "It was taught to me by the class representative."
"Mm." The teacher nodded, "This method is great; you should ask your classmates for help more often."
"Okay."
Upon hearing this, Lu Weize nearly exploded with anger.
"Lu Weize, what are you so angry about?" Zhao Xinghai said helplessly. "If you don't want Lin Chu to use the class representative's methods, then just teach her."
"I don't want to," Lu Weize turned his face away.
"Then why are you so angry?"
"I..." Lu Weize glared at him. "It's none of your business."
On the way home from school, Lu Weize deliberately slowed down to wait for me to catch up.
In the end, I didn't even glance at him and walked straight ahead.
Lu Weize was exasperated and grabbed Zhao Xinghai's shoulder.
"Go tell her to check on Gao Yu."
Zhao Xinghai: "..."
"Hurry up."
"Why do I have to say it?"
"Who else?" Lu Weize glared at him. "Are you going to let her come find me?"
Zhao Xinghai helplessly walked over to me and relayed Lu Weize's message.
I paused for a moment. "I understand."
"Hey, don't misunderstand," Zhao Xinghai explained. "Lu Weize doesn't mean anything bad; he just..."
"I know," I interrupted him. "I'll go."
Zhao Xinghai sighed.
The next day, our relationship was still very tense.
During the morning reading session, Lu Weize deliberately bumped into the class representative's desk.
I looked up and saw Lu Weize glaring at me fiercely.
When I saw the class representative, Lu Weize's expression became even worse.
He forced himself to suppress his anger and returned to his seat.
"Lu Weize, don't be angry," Zhao Xinghai patted his shoulder. "It's not a big deal."
"Don't mind me!" Lu Weize irritably ran his fingers through his hair.
After school, I planned to take my math workbook home to do the exercises.
I packed my backpack but realized the workbook was missing.
I searched around and found the workbook in Lu Weize's drawer.
I reached in to grab it, but Lu Weize pressed my hand down.
"Lu Weize..."
"Don't take it," Lu Weize glared at me and got up to leave.
I was speechless.
Lu Weize didn't want me to have contact with the class representative, so he took my workbook away.
I felt a bit wronged.
I didn't want to do things according to Lu Weize's wishes, but I also didn't want to argue with him.
For the next few days, Lu Weize continued like this.
Either he secretly altered my homework or passed notes to me.
I knew Lu Weize meant well, but I had my own principles.
I didn't want to back down first.
Until...
A set of keys fell at my feet.
I looked down and picked them up, realizing they belonged to Lu Weize.
I looked up at Lu Weize, and he was looking back at me.
"Give it back to me," Lu Weize said in a harsh tone.
I held the key in my hand, feeling a bit pleased.
I finally found the opportunity to return it to him.
Chapter 49
On the day of the school anniversary, Lu Weize took the stage as the student representative to give a speech.
He wore a suit and tie, and his handsome face exuded maturity and composure.
All the girls' eyes were on him.
I watched him with a proud smile on my face.
Before the speech, Lu Weize deliberately smiled at me, causing all the girls in the audience to scream.
I quickly covered my ears and continued to enjoy Lu Weize's speech.
I had prepared the speech script for Lu Weize overnight.
Lu Weize took the script and flipped through it casually.
"How am I supposed to remember all these words?"
I: "..."
Lu Weize closed the script and ruffled my hair.
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."
Before he went on stage, I stuffed the speech script into Lu Weize's drawer.
As a result...
The speech script turned into a blank sheet of paper.
Lu Weize smiled, it seemed someone intentionally wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
What a pity...
He had an excellent memory and had already memorized the speech.
After Lu Weize took the stage, he began to speak without notes.
He was confident and composed, with elegant speech that earned him applause from the audience.
I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
When Lu Weize returned to his seat, he winked at me, and we exchanged smiles.
...
It was obvious who had switched the speech.
After school, Lu Weize and Zhao Xinghai cornered Qin Xiao in the boys' restroom.
“Qin Xiao, are you out of your mind?” Zhao Xinghai pushed him against the wall, “Do you want to dig your own grave?”
Lu Weize raised his hand: “Xinghai, don’t be impulsive.”
He stared coldly into Qin Xiao's eyes and asked, “Why did you do this?”
Qin Xiao turned his face away.
Lu Weize grabbed his chin, forcing him to meet my gaze.
“Speak!”
Qin Xiao let out a cold laugh and retorted, “Why are you with Lin Chu?”
Lu Weize frowned: “What does that have to do with you?”
“Of course it does,” Qin Xiao said emotionally, “You have so many girls who like you, why do you have to compete with me for Lin Chu?”
"You don't deserve her," Lu Weize said calmly.
Qin Xiao's face turned pale. "If I don't deserve her, do you?"
Lu Weize smiled slightly. "Of course."
Qin Xiao: "..."
"Qin Xiao, let me tell you," Lu Weize released him, "my relationship with Lin Chu is not something you can destroy."
"Just leave."
Qin Xiao gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
Zhao Xinghai asked in confusion, "Lu Weize, are you really just going to let him go?"
Lu Weize raised an eyebrow. "What else should I do?"
"An eye for an eye."
Lu Weize shook his head. "That's boring."
If he really wanted to deal with Qin Xiao, he had a hundred ways to do it.
But he didn't want to do that now.
He wanted to be a good person.
At the very least, he couldn't be worse than him.
