Lin Xi quickly straightened her back, covering her forehead and pretending to be in pain, leaning on the table and ignoring the book on the floor.
After a while, Lin Xi felt someone pushing her arm and slightly raised her head.
Lu Chenyu gently placed her book back on her desk.
Lin Xi did not look up or turn her face toward him; she simply reached out to pick up the book he had placed on the desk, glanced at it, then tossed it back down and continued to lean on the table, turning her body and head away from him.
Seeing her like this, Lu Chenyu had a complex expression, and with a somewhat strange look, as if he had given a bitter smile, he stood up and left the classroom.
As soon as Lu Chenyu left, Lin Xi lifted her entire body and head, straightened up, picked up the book, and began flipping through it randomly.
At that moment, Lu Chenyu happened to come back in, his eyes fixed on the book Lin Xi was flipping through, showing a hint of tension and panic while refusing to look away.
Feeling uncomfortable under his inexplicable gaze, Lin Xi put down the book and walked out of the classroom, standing in the corridor for a while.
Later, Lin Xi forgot about the incident.
Until a few days later, after class one day, Lu Chenyu went out again. During this time, he seemed particularly deep in thought and had become somewhat mysterious; he no longer joked around with any boys in class but instead stood outside the classroom looking up at the sky as soon as class ended.
Lin Xi sat in the classroom again, picking up that book to read. Suddenly, she jolted as she remembered Lu Chenyu's nervous and panicked expression when she was flipping through it that day.
Could it be that this guy was thinking something inappropriate? What kind of trouble is he planning? Did he hide something in my book?
So, Lin Xi carefully flipped through the pages of that book one by one.
Sure enough, in the front page of the book, there was a pink note folded into the shape of a butterfly.
Lin Xi picked up the beautifully folded note with suspicion and unfolded it carefully.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know my head was that hard..."
The black ink calligraphy was elegant and flowing; it was clear that it had been written by someone who had practiced calligraphy since childhood.
He never expected that his handwriting was as beautiful and handsome as he was, elegant and refined. Although they had been sitting at the same table for a long time, Lin Xi rarely paid attention to him, never having seen his homework or his handwriting.
What Lin Xi didn't know was that Lu Chenyu actually came from an educated family; both of his parents were graduates of prestigious universities and had studied abroad as doctoral students. They were well-known figures in the Geology Community, and his father had even received the Special Contribution Award from the Geology Community.
From a young age, Lu Chenyu excelled in chess, music, calligraphy, and painting. He was also quite good at studying, but since his parents were often not around to supervise him, he lacked motivation. His personality was somewhat lazy and playful, so he didn't focus all his energy on studying. As a result, his grades fluctuated before high school, but he managed to get through major exams and entered a key school.
Once he entered high school, the academic workload was significantly heavier than in elementary and middle school. The high school he attended was the best in the Provincial Capital, and although he put in some effort into studying, it still felt challenging for him. His grades consistently placed him at the bottom of the class, naturally leading teachers and classmates to view him as a poor student.
Additionally, due to his naturally active and playful nature, he enjoyed making friends with some classmates who also had poor grades.
Thus, in the eyes of teachers and classmates alike, he became known as a student with low grades who lacked ambition.
As for his talents in chess, music, calligraphy, and painting, those were naturally overlooked by teachers and classmates.
In real life, we often observe this phenomenon: either people rally together to support someone or they push them down when they fall.
For example, when someone achieves even a small success in one area, people tend to magnify their minor strengths in other areas and elevate them into a giant of success. Conversely, if someone fails in one aspect, people will amplify their shortcomings or ignore their strengths altogether and label them as worthless.
Therefore, in reality, few people are willing to help someone who has failed. Once a failure succeeds, they may become cold-hearted. A successful person who is surrounded by admiration will easily experience the harshness of human relationships once they fail and may become disillusioned with life.
Thus, the results of these common phenomena often lead to the conclusion that criticizing someone can harm them but sometimes inadvertently motivates them. Supporting someone can help them but may also end up harming them.
Naturally, Lin Xi was unaware of Lu Chenyu's many healthy interests and strengths like her classmates.
Looking at his beautiful penmanship and humorous remarks, Lin Xi couldn't help but smile secretly.
Just then, Lu Chenyu walked in.
He glanced at Lin Xi and happened to catch sight of her smiling face.
Lu Chenyu felt a surge of happiness in his heart.
He saw Lin Xi holding the note he had written.
If her smile just now was because of the note he wrote for her, then the heavy stone that had been resting in his heart for a long time could finally be set down.
Since they became desk mates, he rarely saw her smile.
From what he understood, she used to be a girl who loved to laugh and talk. On the first day of school, when he walked into the classroom and found out that his desk mate was actually her, he felt a little happy inside, thinking that he had finally met someone who could match him.
Because he also loved to laugh and talk. He thought that from then on, they could become good friends, sharing jokes, chatting, teasing each other, engaging in witty banter, and starting a glorious peak period of his carefree days.
However, he did not expect that perhaps because he did not leave a good impression on her when they first met, or perhaps due to her serious nature, or maybe because she simply did not like people like him, her way of laughing and talking was completely different from his.
So she adopted an extreme way of interacting with him: ignoring him, refusing to talk to him, rejecting him, resisting him, and even looking down on him.
This approach made him feel powerless and helpless; he did not know how to deal with it. He originally thought he could bring her some joy and at least they should get along well. Who would have thought that he would never see her beautiful smile again?
Yes, her smile was too beautiful.
This was Lu Chenyu's first impression and feeling when he met Lin Xi.
Of course, her smile was not the kind that could captivate with a glance; it wasn't the kind that could dazzle cities and nations with its brilliance; nor was it the kind that could enchant with a charming gaze. She was quiet, like a lily, a cluster of orchids, a ray of sunlight, a touch of warmth, a breath of spring breeze, a stream of clear water—beautiful in a way that touched the heart.
