Chapter 219: Chapter 148: I Feel Like I’m Going to Lose, Fam (Part 2)
He Zhiyu looked at the room-temperature can of Coke. After seeing Li Zhi take a sip, she finally asked, "Zhizhi said today that you’ve been getting up at 5:10 lately. Is that true?"
The moment He Zhiyu finished speaking, Li Zhi shot her a stunned look.
It was a good thing Li Zhi had already swallowed that mouthful of Coke, or else He Zhiyu would probably have needed to go wash her hair.
Before Li Zhi could even signal Shen Yuan with her eyes, he had already nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"Yup! It is!"
His reply was crisp and decisive, without a hint of hesitation.
"Then how does Zhizhi know?" He Zhiyu’s curiosity was completely piqued.
Shen Yuan glanced at Li Zhi and received a signal from the beautiful girl.
However, Shen Yuan clearly had no intention of following the beautiful girl’s suggestion.
When she saw a sly smile creep across Shen Yuan’s face, Li Zhi’s heart sank. ’This is bad.’
Sure enough, Shen Yuan explained with a smile, "Because for the past few days, I’ve been waking her up at 5:10 every morning. This girl, Li Bao, absolutely loves to sleep in!"
The moment Shen Yuan’s words fell, Li Zhi’s fair cheeks instantly flushed crimson. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she glared across at him.
The canvas shoe hidden under the table kicked out forcefully at the boy’s shin, filled with embarrassed anger. Beneath her fine hair, her furrowed brow made her look like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Although the kick from Li Zhi really hurt, Shen Yuan endured it.
’So *you’re* allowed to secretly give He Zhiyu sweet tidbits, huh?’
Having gotten her "sugar," a very satisfied He Zhiyu went to share the treat with Zhuo Peipei. The two of them were talking and laughing, looking extremely happy.
However, Ah Jie and the others nearby were a completely different story.
Sun Xiansheng, his face a mask of fury, was complaining nonstop to Yang Shuai, "Damn it! Look at you! Now look at him! If you had even one-tenth of Shen Yuan’s skill, you would’ve won over that little sister next door ages ago!"
His tone was filled with dissatisfaction and resentment, as if he were deeply disappointed with Yang Shuai’s performance.
As Sun Xiansheng spoke, he forcefully poked Yang Shuai’s arm, as if trying to make him realize his mistake this way.
"You have no intuition, no emotional intelligence! The only thing you’ve got going for you is that the little sister likes you! If I were her, I’d have dumped your ass a long time ago!" The more Sun Xiansheng spoke, the more agitated he became, and the louder his voice grew.
Yang Shuai finally couldn’t take it anymore and retorted, "Oh, screw you! When have I not followed your instructions? Was it any use? Huh? Just tell me, was it any use at all?"
His tone had also become somewhat harsh, clearly very displeased with Sun Xiansheng’s accusations.
As he spoke, Yang Shuai jabbed a finger back at Sun Xiansheng’s chest and fired back, "With those crappy pickup moves of yours, let me tell you, there’s a reason you fail every single time you try to get a girl!"
His words carried a hint of mockery, as if sneering at Sun Xiansheng’s skills with women.
Hearing Yang Shuai’s words, Sun Xiansheng instantly felt hurt.
He stared at Yang Shuai with wide eyes, at a loss for words.
Off to the side, Zhou Shaojie and Yang Ze exchanged a look. There was no yearning for love in their eyes, only a thirst for drama.
But in the next second, Shen Yuan’s voice reached their ears.
"Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. I’ll buy you a milk tea later."
Seeing the cute, pouting expression on Li Zhi’s face, Zhou Shaojie and Yang Ze felt like they had turned into goblins again.
After dinner, Shen Yuan did indeed buy Li Zhi a cup of milk tea, but it was a warm one.
The beautiful girl looked at the green milk tea in her hand with a dissatisfied expression and pointed indignantly at the Mango Sago Pomelo in Shen Yuan’s hand. "How come you get to drink this!"
"Because I don’t have a period."
Hearing this, Li Zhi let out an indignant "HUMPH," then turned and walked away with her milk tea.
During evening self-study, since the Comprehensive Science exam was first thing tomorrow morning, Shen Yuan focused his review on it.
Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan’s thick Comprehensive Science error correction notebook, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Just as Li Zhi was about to say something, He Zhiyu, who was sitting in front of them, suddenly turned around.
"Zhizhi, how do you solve this problem? I still don’t get it."
Looking at her best friend, Li Zhi could only temporarily put aside her own thoughts and help He Zhiyu with the problem.
Shen Yuan heard He Zhiyu’s voice and mentally approved of her courage in asking Li Zhi to explain a problem.
In less than half a minute, Li Zhi’s disdainful voice rang out.
"Honestly, even Shen Yuan could solve this problem."
Shen Yuan was buried in his Comprehensive Science error notebook, reviewing key concepts, when he suddenly heard his name thrown out by Li Zhi with heavy emphasis.
He froze for two seconds as if someone had hit the pause button, his neck turning mechanically toward Li Zhi, one eyebrow already raised high.
"Huh?" The single syllable escaped his throat uncontrollably, the end of the sound even cracking from shock.
Li Zhi immediately turned her head and glared at Shen Yuan. "Huh your head! A scrub with your scores has no right to ’huh’ me!"
Hearing this, Shen Yuan immediately lowered his head to look back at his book.
’Can’t win. I absolutely can’t win against her.’
After evening self-study ended and she got home, Li Zhi threw herself onto her bed the moment she entered her room. She mashed her long legs back and forth on a large stuffed dog.
’So annoying.’
’There’s still Comprehensive Science and English tomorrow.’
’English is Shen Yuan’s strong suit, that goes without saying.’
’And for Comprehensive Science... if the questions are easy, there’s a very high chance Shen Yuan could score a 270.’
’Looking at it this way, my chances of losing are still really high!’
