Chapter 27: Why Don’t You Ask Lian Qingxue If She Agrees?
When Mr. Xu spoke, the class fell into an eerie silence.
“Teacher, they both are from our class…” A classmate spoke softly.
Mr. Xu glared at him, “I’m not blind! Can’t I recognize my own students?”
Qi Yun coughed slightly, “Teacher, I am Qi Yun, and she is Lian Qingxue…”
Mr. Xu: ??? Am I blind?
Mr. Xu’s expression was frozen, as he stared blankly at Lian Qingxue and Qi Yun.
Fortunately, Mr. Xu was a mature adult and quickly accepted the startling changes.
He could still see the resemblance of Qi Yun from before.
As for Lian Qingxue, although she had changed a lot, her voice matched with what he remembered.
After a short conversation, he believed this incredible reality.
…
“Alright, since you both are from our class, return to your seats, we are about to start the class.”
“Teacher, I have a request, I want to share a desk with Lian Qingxue!” Qi Yun raised his hand.
The class immediately broke into an uproar.
The boys looked at Qi Yun with admiration.
Wang Shang secretly turned his head and mouthed to Qi Yun, “Awesome!”
The girls, on the other hand, were looking more at Lian Qingxue, their eyes filled with envy.
Mr. Xu stared at Qi Yun and asked, “Why do you want to do that?”
Usually, a student would soften under Mr. Xu’s intimidating gaze.
Mr. Xu was in his early forties, with thinning hair and a face full of stern lines.
As a homeroom teacher for many years, he had unintentionally developed a fierce expression.
Just one glance could intimidate any student.
But Qi Yun wasn’t afraid.
“I found that my learning efficiency is highest when I’m next to Lian Qingxue! I want to sit closer to her and learn well from her!” Qi Yun’s face was full of righteous determination.
Mr. Xu: “Heh!”
With the old Lian Qingxue, he might not have thought much.
But with the current Lian Qingxue?
I see, you young man have been captivated by her beauty!
Study?
I don’t believe you at all!
“I disagree! Go back to your seat!”
“Right now it’s your senior year, the most crucial time of your high school career, I advise you not to be distracted! Moreover, you want to share a desk with Lian Qingxue, have you asked her opinion? How do you know if Lian Qingxue agrees?” Mr. Xu rambled.
Among the students in the class, the ones who were most familiar with Lian Qingxue were actually teachers like Mr. Xu.
In Mr. Xu’s heart, he was very satisfied with Lian Qingxue.
After all, although Lian Qingxue didn’t stand out in the class, she was always well-behaved.
Her grades in every exam were among the best in the class, which was a great face-saver for their teachers.
Not to mention, Lian Qingxue’s background was quite pitiful, so Mr. Xu had always felt a bit of extra compassion for her.
“I agree…”
A soft voice reached Mr. Xu’s ears.
He was momentarily stunned.
This voice, it sounded familiar…
He turned to look and indeed, the one who had just spoken was the ever-obedient Lian Qingxue.
Lian Qingxue’s face was slightly red, she looked a bit hesitant to face
Mr. Xu, but her expression was firm.
“Lian Qingxue, what did you just say?”
“I said, I’m willing to share a desk with Qi Yun.”
Qi Yun heard her words and said to Mr. Xu, “Teacher, she said she’s willing!”
Mr. Xu: “…”
Are you two exchanging wedding vows here?!
I disagree with this!
He looked at Lian Qingxue sadly.
Where is my well-behaved student?
Why has she changed so much?
Hearing Lian Qingxue’s response, the class was even more shocked.
They had thought that it was only Qi Yun who had feelings for Lian Qingxue, but they never expected the usually timid Lian Qingxue to be so brave.
Wang Shang couldn’t help but give Qi Yun another admiring look.
…
Seeing the commotion in the class, Mr. Xu cleared his throat, “Alright, everyone be quiet, no one is changing seats today, return to your seats, class is starting!”
Qi Yun looked at his expression and didn’t insist.
After the class was over, Mr. Xu walked out of the classroom with his lesson plan.
Qi Yun thought for a moment and followed Mr. Xu out.
