When Lu Chenyu quietly emphasized that he was in a hurry and needed Lin Xi to make way, Lin Xi would stand up to let him pass, but she wouldn't make it easy for him.
Unknowingly or perhaps intentionally, when she got up, she would use a lot of force, often knocking the chair over or letting it fall to the ground, blocking his way out. This required him to lift the chair back up. Sometimes the chair would land directly on his foot, causing him pain that made him wince silently, only able to look at Lin Xi with his eyes.
At this moment, she would typically turn and walk out of the classroom without looking at him.
She knew that once he went out, he would definitely come back in, so she would play outside for a while and return to her seat after he came back.
After all, Lin Xi was kind! She didn't want him to go out and get his feet hurt twice.
However, Lu Chenyu, who was usually self-centered and focused only on himself while enjoying mocking others, showed great patience this time. No matter how Lin Xi made things difficult for him or tried to get in his way, he maintained a humble attitude. Regardless of how the classmates teased and mocked him for being weak, he kept his composure like a gentleman and calmly responded, "Hehe, a good man doesn't fight with a woman."
If he wasn't allowed to come and go freely, then he wouldn't. If he wasn't allowed to cross the line, he would sit up straight and carefully do his homework.
After some time passed, Lu Chenyu realized that he had actually gotten used to this way of studying and attitude, correcting many of his previous faults.
Since he couldn't go out to play, he learned to take out his books during breaks to preview or review his lessons like her. His accuracy in homework improved significantly.
Not only that, but he gradually discovered that diving into textbooks made learning such a joyful experience—more interesting than going outside to play.
During the final exams for Sophomore year leading into Senior year, it surprised everyone when Lu Chenyu's grades suddenly jumped into the top ten of the class.
His classmates said he was becoming more resilient with each setback.
After the start of Senior year, Mr. Li called both him and Lin Xi into his office.
"I told you both that you wouldn't let me down, and now it's confirmed that my judgment was correct. I believe you two can continue to help each other and learn from one another in Senior year."
Just as Mr. Li paused for a moment, Lu Chenyu interjected, "Teacher, we haven't been helping each other or learning from one another."
Mr. Li was slightly taken aback and looked over at Lin Xi before clearing his throat lightly.
Lin Xi tilted her head to the side and thought to herself, "Hmph! This person is always so arrogant."
"Um! Um!" Lu Chenyu cleared his throat, ready to speak again.
Lin Xi shot him a glance, then turned her face in the opposite direction, listening intently. She wondered what long-winded speech he was about to deliver this time.
"Actually, teacher, between Lin Xi and me, it's all her helping me; I've never helped her. I only learn from her, she doesn't learn from me. Hehe, if she were learning from me, she'd have turned into a bad person by now." He lowered his head, scratching his ear, laughing shyly.
Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment, unable to process whether what he said was true or sarcastic. She looked at Mr. Li with a puzzled expression, hoping to find an answer on his face.
"Lu Chenyu, it's good that you can recognize yourself this way, so you should learn more from Lin Xi in the future. Not only should you learn her textbook knowledge but also her qualities in dealing with people." At this point, Mr. Li glanced at Lin Xi.
"Yes, yes, her qualities in dealing with people are the best." Lu Chenyu suddenly put on a carefree and cheeky demeanor.
Listening to their conversation, Lin Xi's face suddenly felt like it was on fire, turning bright red all the way to her ears.
"But Lu Chenyu, you shouldn't underestimate yourself; you also have your strengths," Mr. Li continued.
"Teacher, please don't talk about my strengths." Before Mr. Li could finish his sentence, Lu Chenyu hurriedly interrupted him, saying, "I have no strengths worth mentioning."
Lin Xi looked at Lu Chenyu with extreme disdain in her heart; at least he had some self-awareness.
However, just as Lin Xi thought this, he added, "I just want to make a request to the teacher."
He had just achieved some results and was already making requests? Lin Xi looked at him in surprise and thought that if everyone were like him, she should have made many requests to the teacher too. But she had only asked the teacher once to change seats so she wouldn't have to sit next to him, which the teacher did not fulfill.
Would the teacher satisfy his request?
"What request?" The teacher smiled at him with an encouraging look.
"I hope the teacher won't change my and Lin Xi's seats because she has helped me a lot in my studies."
Lin Xi thought she must have misheard him and stared at Lu Chenyu in shock before glancing at Mr. Li.
"That won't happen. The reason I called both of you here is to tell you that in your senior year, you will continue to sit together until the college entrance examination is over. I hope both of you can achieve good results in the exam; I believe you will."
Listening to Mr. Li's words, Lin Xi gently closed her eyes. "I wonder what this guy is up to. Is he going to pull out a snake or something again to get back at me or mess with me?"
The last snake had scared her so much that she couldn't sleep well for several nights.
"Amen, just let me be! Let me participate in the college entrance exam with a normal state of mind!" Lin Xi silently prayed.
Sure enough, as soon as she walked out of the teacher's office, Lu Chenyu looked at Lin Xi and smiled smugly before walking away on his own.
However, after the start of the senior year, Lu Chenyu did not retaliate against Lin Xi as she had imagined. Instead, he was even more well-behaved, quieter, and more studious than the previous semester.
After the adjustment period of the last semester, it seemed that Lu Chenyu had already grasped Lin Xi's mindset and temperament. He remained calm in the face of her various provocations.
Lin Xi felt as if her fists were hitting cotton; no matter how hard she swung, there was no pain for her fist, nor for the cotton.
Lin Xi tried to provoke him a few times and caused some commotion, but Lu Chenyu never responded to her. Eventually, she found it uninteresting and quieted down. The two of them truly reached a state of peaceful coexistence.
However, his phrase "What's wrong? Lin Xi?" later became a catchphrase among the boys in the class for teasing each other, simply replacing Lin Xi's name with those of other classmates they teased.
For example, "What's wrong? Yufei?"
"What's wrong? Haojie?" "What's wrong? Guan Guan?" and so on.
