Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: If you don't like it, then pick one you like

Seeing Hu Yuying agree, Li Qian invited Hu Yuying to go to the restroom together.

We don't know why, but girls always like to go to the restroom together.

(T/N: One of the Great mysteries of mankind)

On the way, Li Qian also introduced the class situation to Hu Yuying.

Actually, there wasn't much to say; aside from a few bad apples, the class atmosphere was quite good.

On the way to the restroom, they happened to encounter Wang Shuo returning from the restroom.

"Hu Yuying, we meet again." He had previously teased her with words, and upon realizing she didn't dare to resist, he knew that such a well-behaved girl was the easiest to bully. At that moment, he couldn't help but want to continue bullying and teasing her.

In response to Wang Shuo's words, Hu Yuying pursed her lips tightly, as if she hadn't heard him. She lowered her gaze, pretending not to see him, and walked past him without a word.

Hu Yuying's personality was just like that; if you asked her to curse, she couldn't do it.

So, when faced with people or things she disliked, she would always remain silent, treating them with feigned disregard.

In high school, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, appearance is the most important thing.

Being ignored in front of so many people, Wang Shuo's expression instantly changed.

No matter what, he was one of the popular figures in the senior year. Even if a girl cursed him a couple of times, in the eyes of outsiders, it would still seem like Wang Shuo was right, and the other party was merely flirting and playing around!

But being directly ignored made him feel like he was losing face.

Returning to the classroom, he walked a circle around the room, and when he passed Hu Yuying's seat, he slowed his steps and, with an indifferent expression, used his hand to knock the pencil case off her desk.

Then, he smiled carelessly and returned to his own seat.

When Hu Yuying returned to her seat, she saw her pencil case lying on the floor.

The pens inside had also scattered out.

Being simple-minded, she merely thought that a classmate had accidentally knocked her pencil case off and hadn't noticed.

So, she squatted down and picked up the scattered pens and pencil case.

However, she found that one of her pens had rolled under Long Aotian's seat, and half of its body was still under his foot.

She carefully tried to pull the pen out from under Long Aotian's foot.

The next moment, a lazy voice came from above her head: "What are you doing?"

Hu Yuying was startled. She looked up at Long Aotian and when she met Long Aotian's lazy and inquiring gaze, she lowered her head unconsciously.

Li Qian's words seemed to echo in her mind: this person really would hit people.

If she woke him up, would he hit her?

So, she explained nervously, "My pen, my pen fell on the floor. I didn't mean to wake you up."

Hearing Hu Yuying's words, Long Aotian looked down at his feet.

Indeed, he was stepping on a pen, and he subconsciously lifted his foot.

Taking advantage of Long Aotian lifting his foot, Hu Yuying quickly picked up the pen.

Then she quickly got up and returned to her own seat.

Watching Hu Yuying's actions, Long Aotian frowned slightly. How was it that after waking up from a nap, Hu Yuying seemed even more afraid of him?

After thinking for a while, Long Aotian searched his pencil case, took out a pen that he had rarely used, and then raised his hand and placed it on Hu Yuying's desk.

Hu Yuying returned to her seat and breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, her peripheral vision caught Long Aotian extending his hand towards her.

Her mind was filled with: 'Don't mess with him, he's even more powerful than Wang Shuo, and he'll really hit people.'

She nervously clenched her hands, subconsciously closed her eyes, and shrank her neck.

The expected pain did not come. She slightly opened her eyes to a slit and saw a brand new-looking pen on her desk.

She instinctively looked at Long Aotian.

She saw Long Aotian resting his hand on his face, gazing out the window in a daze, and even yawning with his mouth wide open.

She didn't know if her gaze was too obvious that Long Aotian felt it.

Long Aotian turned his head, and met her gaze.

"What's wrong? You don't like that pen? Then pick one you like."

As Long Aotian spoke, he opened his pencil case.

Seeing Long Aotian's action, a brief look of confusion flashed in Hu Yuying's eyes, then she quickly waved her hand: "No, it's not that. The pen isn't broken, it can still be used. You don't need to compensate me."

Saying that, she returned the pen Long Aotian had placed on her desk to him.

Long Aotian did not force it.

The class bell rang.

Hu Yuying composed herself and focused on listening to the lecture.

For Hu Yuying, nothing was more important than studying at this stage.

Meanwhile Long Aotian was lazily lying on the table, his eyes casually looking at the podium, looking daydreamy and drowsy.

It wasn't his fault; he had stayed up all night yesterday finishing a novel, and as soon as he fell asleep, he transmigrated to this world.

After an entire night without sleep, it was invertible that he'll fell tired.

Plus, this is a math class, so it's like a lullaby...

Throughout the entire class, Hu Yuying recorded all the problem-solving methods explained by the teacher.

The teaching methods of teachers varied from school to school.

The math teacher at Second High School, where Hu Yuying used to study, had a completely different approach to teaching problems compared to the current math teacher.

Mathematics emphasizes that all changes do not deviate from the original principle; for Hu Yuying, having an additional way to solve a problem was nothing but beneficial.

Looking at the pen in her hand, her peripheral vision inadvertently glanced at Long Aotian by the aisle: "He sleeps so much."

"Hu Yuying, just now outside, why didn't you answer me when I spoke to you?" Wang Shuo came to Hu Yuying's seat and asked, looking at the well-behaved, cute girl whose voice was soft and sweet.

Hu Yuying didn't speak; she merely prepared the textbooks needed for the next class in advance.

Seeing Hu Yuying organize her things and still unwilling to talk to him.

Everyone has a rebellious mentality, the more you don't want to talk to me, the more I want you to talk to me.

Especially after seeing Hu Yuying happily laughing and talking with other classmates, he felt even more that he was being treated differently by her.

Feeling betrayed, Wang Shuo again pretended to accidentally knock off her pencil case placed on the desk.

Then he lifted his foot and stepped on it: "Oh, sorry!"

After speaking, he revealed a smug smile and returned to his seat.

The others, seeing this, didn't say anything.

The third year of high school is the final sprint, and bad students like Wang Shuo, who didn't study, had never even considered going to college.

Anyone who stands out now will definitely be hated by Wang Shuo.

At that time, it might even affect their own studies.

Even though it was clear to everyone that Wang Shuo was doing it on purpose, and bullying the new student, but in this race against time, no one was willing to offend a bad apple for it.

Hu Yuying looked at the shoe print on her pencil case, lowered her gaze, and picked it up.

Opening the pencil case, all the pen casings inside were crushed.

Looking at the crushed pen casings, Hu Yuying meticulously sorted out the fragments.

Encountering such a thing on her very first day after transferring, anyone would feel upset.

As she removed the broken pen casings, the grievance in her heart made her eyes gradually redden...
