Chapter 662: Chapter 660: Kind Father 39
Ah Chen instantly knew what Chen Yijia was thinking and couldn’t help but find it amusing. After some observation, it was clear that Wen Zhixi really had no interest in Wei Yue.
"Here, explain this to me." Chen Yijia handed over a test paper, but just at that moment, a teacher came over and asked Ah Chen to help in the office. She quickly waved her hand, "I’ll explain it to you later, and I’ll treat you to something delicious in the afternoon."
Ah Chen replied, "Okay."
Chen Yijia propped her chin with her hand, lost in thought, when a voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Do you need any help?" Wen Zhixi was passing by, having heard Chen Yijia’s earlier words, didn’t think much of it, and glanced at the test paper.
The scene from Chen Yijia’s birthday party still lingered in his mind, so he couldn’t help paying a bit more attention to this female classmate.
The moment when she pushed Chen Ming into the pool was particularly memorable to him.
Chen Yijia turned around and was shocked to see Wen Zhixi.
Oh my, Wen Zhixi actually offered to help a classmate? Isn’t he supposed to be the cool and aloof male god?
Such a rare event, Chen Yijia didn’t want to refuse. She hadn’t had Wen Zhixi explain anything to her before, so she wanted to see what it felt like.
So when Ah Chen returned to the classroom, she saw Wen Zhixi sitting at her desk, earnestly explaining the problems to Chen Yijia.
She turned on her heel and headed to the hallway, deciding to only go back in when class started.
She gazed into the distance, not expecting to spot Li Feiwei standing on the corridor of the next floor, watching her.
Seeing she had noticed him, Li Feiwei smiled at her, and Ah Chen returned the smile.
Despite wanting to go over, Li Feiwei held back. It was rare for Ah Chen, the senior, to have a break and relax; he didn’t want to disturb her. Since the start of senior year, she had lost weight.
If Ah Chen knew what Li Feiwei was thinking, she would probably laugh out loud.
She hadn’t lost weight; she had simply grown taller. Plus, with the soul’s automatic adjustment to the body, it maintained the most suitable state.
Since the day Wen Zhixi unexpectedly helped Chen Yijia with her questions, Chen Yijia hadn’t thought much about it at first. Who knew Wen Zhixi would take the initiative several times? When the top student in the class offered to help, Chen Yijia saw no reason to refuse and listened openly, bringing them closer.
She couldn’t help but notice Wei Yue’s disappointed expression, but what did that have to do with her? Wen Zhixi voluntarily helped her as a classmate, and it would be rude to refuse. Wei Yue’s reaction was truly amusing. If she had an issue, she should take it up with Wen Zhixi, not her!
Not to mention, Wen Zhixi was quite good at explaining things.
"With his help, you should seize the chance to learn well. Who knows, you might even surpass him and become number one," Chen Yijia whispered to Ah Chen.
Ah Chen’s expression was indescribable. So this was what Chen Yijia was planning?
"Do you think surpassing Wen Zhixi is a simple task?" Ah Chen asked. With the Commissioner’s level, it was nearly impossible. She had a plan and wouldn’t change it easily.
Chen Yijia chuckled, "Just saying."
"Looks like we’ll have to pin our hopes on that beauty from Class Two. She’s the only one in the whole grade who can compete with Wen Zhixi. Too bad both of them have been recommended and won’t participate in the college entrance exam."
She then looked at Ah Chen with eyes full of hope, "They’ve been recommended, so in the college entrance exam..."
Before she could finish, Ah Chen hurriedly stopped her: "We have three top classes in our school, and besides that, there are many good high schools in the city. Plenty of students with levels much higher than mine."
"Alright." Chen Yijia looked disappointed and dropped the topic.
Wen Zhixi had also heard Chen Yijia’s previous words and couldn’t help but shake his head. Chen Yijia seemed eager for someone to dethrone him from being number one. What kind of mindset was that? But not just anyone could take his position.
"Wen Zhixi, wait a moment."
Never did Wen Zhixi imagine that one day after school, he’d be stopped by Duan Mu.
It was his day for cleaning, so he stayed later than usual.
He turned to face Duan Mu, waiting for him to speak, only to hear Duan Mu ask with displeasure, "Why do you treat Wei Yue like that? It makes her very upset, don’t you know?"
A question mark popped up next to Wen Zhixi’s head. Duan Mu’s questioning left him feeling bewildered.
But he kept his patience and asked, "I don’t believe I’ve done anything to Wei Yue. You might be misunderstanding."
Except for necessary matters, he never proactively communicated with Wei Yue, already trying his best to maintain distance.
The trouble had come anyway. His eyes showed a bit of strangeness, directed at Duan Mu.
What on earth was Duan Mu thinking, questioning him like this? It was hard to comprehend.
Ah Chen and Chen Yijia came out of the office and were about to turn when they heard the voices, and the two of them immediately stopped in their tracks.
Chen Yijia was utterly shocked. What was Duan Mu doing? Standing up for Wei Yue?
They were in the classroom every day, and she could be certain Wen Zhixi really didn’t do anything to Wei Yue.
Ah Chen, on the other hand, understood Duan Mu’s mindset. In his view, anything that upset Wei Yue was wrong.
"Wen Zhixi, you made Wei Yue upset!" Duan Mu was furious. "Your indifference hurt her. Can’t you feel that she’s special to you? She went to ask you questions, and you looked so perfunctory. But with Chen Yijia? Why are you so patient?"
Chen Yijia was speechless. So he hated her now?
Wen Zhixi’s patience dissipated, and he responded coldly, "I’m just here to study. I don’t have an obligation to console classmates, right? Whom I’m patient with is my own business, and Duan Mu, you’re meddling a bit too much."
"Perhaps I should ask Wei Yue what’s going on." Wen Zhixi glanced at Duan Mu and took out his phone to call Wei Yue.
Being a class monitor, of course, he had all his classmates’ phone numbers.
Duan Mu could not stop him in time, and the call was answered. Wei Yue’s voice was even a bit cheerful, but after hearing Wen Zhixi’s words, that cheerfulness vanished, leaving only embarrassment.
At this moment, she finally felt several traces of resentment towards Duan Mu, who had always supported her.
"Wen Zhixi, sorry for the trouble. This isn’t the case. It’s my own issue. Duan Mu must have misunderstood something. I sincerely apologize."
Wen Zhixi said blandly, "That’s good then."
He hung up the call, "It seems it’s just a misunderstanding."
Without another look at Duan Mu, he stepped downstairs. In matters like this, it’s always easiest to ask the person involved. He had some understanding of Wei Yue’s character. She should restrain Duan Mu well, and hopefully, he wouldn’t cause him any further trouble.
As for holding a grudge against him because of this, it wasn’t something that mattered to him; it wouldn’t affect him.
Duan Mu soon received a call from Wei Yue and followed her downstairs.
A while later, Ah Chen and Chen Yijia also went downstairs.
"That was it? I thought they were going to fight." Chen Yijia laughed, and in that moment, Ah Chen instinctively pulled her back, but it was too late. Not that it mattered much, as it wasn’t a dangerous situation.
Just now, it seemed like Chen Yijia had exposed them, as she noticed a gaze directed at where Chen Yijia had stood.
Sure enough, when they turned another corner, Wen Zhixi was standing there, seemingly just fiddling with his phone.
Chen Yijia let out an awkward laugh, oh my goodness, what now?
She looked at Ah Chen, as if asking how they had been exposed.
Ah Chen remained calm, maintaining that it was because of Chen Yijia they had been exposed.
If she wanted to hide, no one would have noticed.
These two seemed to have some kind of fate, and she was happy to watch the drama without interfering.
