Chapter 31: Don’t Embarrass the Elite Class!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shen You looked at Zhao Nan in shock, wondering what had happened to him all of a sudden.
If this was in the past, using the excuse of revision, Shen You would often look for Zhao Nan.
Zhao Nan would always put on a sour face, as if Shen You owed him a few million dollars.
Shen You would always pitifully follow him, not caring about his coldness toward her at all.
Now, Shen You was looking at him with a distant gaze. Zhao Nan suddenly felt his heart tighten.
“What are you looking at!” Zhao Nan tried to use his cold and hard voice to cover his momentary absent-mindedness.
Shen You did not understand. “You were the one who called me!”
Zhao Nan coughed and then reminded, “Don’t embarrass the elite class!”
Shen You did not understand what Zhao Nan meant and looked at him blankly.
Zhu Ge looked at Zhao Nan and then Shen You. He explained helplessly, “He wants you to do your best in the competition!”
Hearing Zhu Ge’s explanation, Shen You naturally didn’t believe him.
With Zhao Nan’s usual style, he wouldn’t meddle in her business.
Moreover, Zhao Nan would also participate in the competition. With him around, would the elite class be embarrassed?
Seeing Shen You’s doubtful gaze, Zhu Ge quickly turned to ask Zhao nan, “Am I right?”
Zhao Nan continued to stare at the book in his hand and ignored them.
The more Shen You thought about it, the more she felt that Zhao Nan was implying something. It was very strange.
However, she no longer wanted to have anything to do with Zhao Nan anymore. Since he was unwilling to talk about it, she did not ask further.
…
From that day onwards, Shen You began to make full use of her time in school to study.
It was also from that day onwards, Shen You spent less time with Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao would occasionally see Shen You on the field or in the corridor. She always looked like she was desperately munching a book.
After the past few days of Shen You’s brazen pestering, Huo Xiao had already got used to it.
During this time, without Shen You chattering by his side and her expectant gaze, Huo Xiao was not used to it.

“Hey! Watch out!” A scream came from the center of the field.
Huo Xiao looked up and saw a football flying out of the field at an extremely fast speed.
His gaze followed the football, and he realized that the target of the football was actually Shen You.
Huo Xiao was shocked and quickly rushed forward.
Just as he was only two steps away from Shen You, an arm reached out to Shen You and pulled her back.
The football heavily hit the railing on the side of Shen You’s head with a bang.
Shen You was shocked and looked at the culprit who almost made her change her head.
Two boys ran over from the middle of the field and looked at Shen You apologetically. They bowed repeatedly and apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry!”
Shen You came back to her senses and slowly squeezed out a smile. “It’s okay, it’s okay! It’s me who was careless!”
As she spoke, she felt a warm warmth coming from behind her, and her arm was still tightly held.
She turned around to look at her savior who had just saved her life, only to find Zhao Nan staring at her from above.
Shen You had never thought that Zhao Nan would actually save her.
She was stunned for a moment before saying “thank you”.
Zhao Nan did not seem to care about Shen You’s gratitude. He only said coldly, “You’re already ugly enough. If you get hurt again, you’ll be even uglier!”

Zhao Nan’s words instantly made Shen you lose all her gratitude.
She subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead. “I’m sorry! I have made you ugly!”

Zhao Nan pursed his lips, let go of Shen You’s arm, and turned to leave.
He walked past Huo Xiao and pretended not to see him.
Xie Xiao ran over from afar and asked while panting, “Xiao You, are you okay?”
Shen You smiled and shook her head. “I’m fine! I was just frightened.”
“That’s good! I was scared to death just now!” Xie Xiao sighed and said, “Short legs really kill me!”
“However, I saw Huo Xiao running so fast just now, and I thought he would be the hero saving the damsel in distress!” As Xie Xiao said that, his gaze swept over Huo Xiao who had already turned to leave.

“He? How is that possible! He just happened to pass by!” Shen You shook her head in disbelief.
“That’s true! That big clean freak of his, how could he risk his life for you!” Xie Xiao nodded in agreement.
“It’s good that you’re fine!” Xie Xiao said as she reached out her hand and knocked on Shen You’s forehead. “In the future, please stay away from dangerous areas when reading!”
“Didn’t teacher teach you not to read books while walking!” Xie Xiao warned solemnly.
Shen You immediately begged for mercy. “Teacher Xie is right! I will change right away!”
The two laughed and walked back to the classroom with each other.
