Chapter 46: Doubts at the same table.

Sure enough, it started to rain on the way. Yao Yi had nothing to do, so she tried to start talking to Fu Chuan.

 “What do you think of me?” Yao Yi asked Fu Chuan who was next to her with expectant eyes, and answered first, “I think you are very kind.”

Fu Chuan turned his head, looked at Yao Yi for a while and answered, “You… are a little careless.”

As soon as this sentence came out, Yao Yi became displeased. Even though she had complimented him just now, Fu Chuan actually said that about her.

Yao Yi immediately retorted: “I am not careless at all, I have never been deducted points for mistakes in exams!”

Maybe because she felt that her words were too boastful, Yao Yi quickly added in a low voice: “Essay composition doesn’t count.”

Fu Chuan suddenly clenched his fist against his lips to block his laughter, but the laughter still couldn’t be stopped. The clear and pleasant sound echoed in the car, causing Uncle Li to look over from the front through the rearview mirror.

The young master had never laughed so happily.

“I didn’t say you were careless in your studies, but…” Fu Chuan softened his voice as if he was afraid of scaring her, “Girls should learn to take care of themselves.”

At this moment, Yao Yi’s phone vibrated, she lowered her head and took it out to look at the message.

Ji Yu: [How did it go, did you two get close?]

Yao Yi hurriedly put the phone back into her pocket, glanced at Fu Chuan quietly, and thought about it carefully in her heart. Nothing was as important as her being the first in the future exams, and it was better to bear the humiliation now.

“Oh.” Yao Yi didn’t hear what Fu Chuan said just now, so she responded and relaxed again.

“Classmate Yao Yi is also very good.” Fu Chuan continued with his original words, but this time he knew what to say to make Yao Yi happy, “Especially your math skills are very good, no matter how I write, I can’t be as concise as you. “

Hearing these words, Yao Yi finally warmed up, but she still wanted to be humble: “It’s actually okay, I’m not that strong.”

“But Yao Yi, you are better than the students in the whole No. 1 High School.” Fu Chuan continued to increase his firepower, “You can definitely get good results in the math competition.”

Being praised by the person who occupied the first ranking in the grade, Yao Yi suddenly became a little bit elated. This was a feeling she hadn’t had for a long time. It may be that her self-confidence had been hit for too long, and she now had a cognitive bias toward her ability to learn and study.

“Mhm, I looked at all the questions you sent me last time, and they are very interesting.” Yao Yi replied cheerfully, “The teacher who wrote the questions and their ideas are much more interesting than the usual test papers.”

Probably only you would think so.

Fu Chuan looked softly at Yao Yi who forgot everything once math was mentioned, and he was glad that her family’s financial situation was good. Otherwise, Yao Yi would suffer a lot with her temperament.

Even now, although the Yao family was considered wealthy, Yao Yi still couldn’t take care of herself, and she even went to sell goods during summer break.

…

During the short ride, first Yao Yi tried to find out what kind of person Fu Chuan likes and what kind of person she was in his heart.

In the end, Fu Chuan reversed the questions onto her, and Yao Yi shook out all her thoughts. Although, there were many things that Fu Chuan could already notice from the surface.

Yao Yi brought an umbrella, a large black umbrella. She usually wore a raincoat when riding the bicycle, but the parking lot was still some distance from the teaching building. Yao Yi decided she was going to use the folding umbrella.

When going out on break, Yao Yi still liked to use this big black umbrella.

It was big, so she didn’t have to worry about getting wet.

She didn’t ride a bike today, so she took it with her naturally.

Fu Chuan watched Yao Yi go out with the umbrella, glanced at the umbrella near his hand, pretended not to see it, and went out through the door Yao Yi opened.

Yao Yi opened the umbrella, turned around, saw Fu Chuan coming out, and kindly shielded him from the rain.

“I’ll do it.” Fu Chuan naturally took the umbrella from Yao Yi’s hand, “Come closer.”

“Oh.” Yao Yi not only handed over the umbrella but also moved two steps closer to Fu Chuan.

The two walked towards the teaching building together holding the large umbrella. Even though the umbrella was big, it was still a little bit reluctant to support the two of them in the increasingly heavy rain.

Yao Yi had already hugged her school bag to her chest, and told Fu Chuan: “Don’t carry your school bag behind you, it will get wet.”

Fu Chuan held an umbrella in one hand, and it was obviously unrealistic to hold a school bag in the other. Seeing that he could only carry his school bag with his hands, Yao Yi thought for a while and carried her school bag with her shoulders in front. Then she took Fu Chuan’s school bag and held it.

“It’s raining so hard.” Yao Yi muttered while holding the schoolbags, “Why is the teaching building so far away?”

Uncle Li’s car could not drive into the school, and could only park at the school gate. They had to pass through a large field before entering the official teaching area.

At the beginning of November, it was not too cold yet in the south, but it was windy and rainy. Wearing only a few thin clothes would still cause people to shiver. Therefore, the students on the road were trembling, clutching their umbrellas and walking with their heads bowed.

Fu Chuan adjusted the angle of the umbrella to block the wind, so that wind wouldn’t blow towards Yao Yi. Then he simply put his other arm around her to save space.

The rain was too heavy, and Yao Yi was afraid of the cold, so she focused all her attention on shivering and moving forward. She didn’t notice Fu Chuan’s movements, not to mention that it was quite warm to lean against him.

When they finally reached the teaching building, Yao Yi was about to rush up the stairs but was held back by Fu Chuan.

“Slow down.” Fu Chuan pulled Yao Yi back and made her follow his own pace.

At this time, the stairway was full of water. Students were stepping into the building, water was dripping from umbrella tips, and almost no area on the stairs was dry. It was easy to slip if you were not careful.

“Oh.” Yao Yi walked obediently with Fu Chuan, “Why are you so careful?”

Fu Chuan sighed again in his heart, if no one took care of her in the future, what kind of mess would she live in?

“Be careful and you won’t suffer.” Fu Chuan pinched the bridge of his nose and lectured helplessly, “It’s not a joke to fall from here.”

Yao Yi followed Fu Chuan upstairs, thinking that she actually wanted to be good friends with Fu Chuan, but why did he have to take her first place throne?

Because they went to and from school together, Fu Chuan and Yao Yi got close at a speed that anyone with a discerning eye could see.

“What are you guys doing lately?” Han Jiaojiao found some free time and used the excuse to bask in the sun and took Yao Yi out to chat.

“Who?” Yao Yi was reluctant to come out to bask in the sun. She still hadn’t finished reading this month’s new mathematics journal. Originally, she was going to let Qin Li read it first, so she was enduring the pain of waiting.

“Fu Chuan, you two have been walking together a lot lately.” Han Jiaojiao leaned on the railing, covering half of her face with the back of her hand. A little sunlight leaked through her fingers, and she closed her fingers again and opened, and closed, and so on.

“Oh, he moved, the house is not far from my house.” Yao Yi didn’t dare to lean on the cold railing and stood up straight. She let the sun shine directly on her, like an obedient young girl.

“So?” Han Jiaojiao turned to look at Yao Yi, “You guys are so close, if we didn’t know that you two are competitors, we would have misunderstood you.”

Misunderstanding what? Yao Yi thought about it wholeheartedly, but she didn’t ask.

“I want to date him.” Yao Yi thought for a while and felt that it was okay to discuss this matter with Han Jiaojiao.

“?!?”

Han Jiaojiao looked at Yao Yi who said this with an innocent face in shock, and stammered, “You, what did you just say?”

“I want to date Fu Chuan.” Yao Yi frowned and repeated, was her voice so low just now?

“Is that what I thought…date?” Han Jiaojiao’s eyes were wide open, “Why…all of a sudden?”

Yao Yi turned her head to observe the surroundings and saw that no one was around, so she approached Han Jiaojiao and whispered in a small voice: “I heard that after dating, grades will drop rapidly. If Fu Chuan and I date, his grades will drop. If it drops, then I will be in first place.”

“…”

Seeing Han Jiaojiao’s silence, Yao Yi felt guilty, pursed her lips, and asked, “Am I very bad?”

Han Jiaojiao’s mind was blown into a mess, and it took her a long time to spit out a sentence: “If you two are in a relationship… and his grades have dropped, won’t your grades also drop?”

“No!” Yao Yi said confidently, “There is nothing more important than studying, and it is impossible for me to drop my grades because of dating.”

“Then, how are you so sure that Fu Chuan’s grades will drop because of dating?” Han Jiaojiao was mind blown by Yao Yi’s powerful logical thinking and even forgot to ask her if it was possible for them to date.

“Don’t reveal it, Fu Chuan doesn’t know yet.” Yao Yi looked around again and whispered.

Han Jiaojiao immediately swore: “Of course I won’t reveal it, I’m not like Li Ge, a big gossipy mouth.

Han Jiaojiao said she wouldn’t reveal it, and she really didn’t. Han Jiaojiao kept such an ‘earth-shattering secret’ all to herself, but still felt panicked for Yao Yi when she saw her seem to be hooking up with Fu Chuan. However, it also seemed like she wasn’t hooking up with him.

Although Zhao Qian next to her didn’t know about Yao Yi’s little plan, he had noticed the strange atmosphere between the two before. On the other hand, Han Jiaojiao, who was at the same table, didn’t seem to have noticed it. He couldn’t complain about it with someone, so he was also very uncomfortable.

“No, your idea is wrong.” Fu Chuan moved Yao Yi’s test paper over, pointed to the beginning and said, “The essay needs to be based on the fact that no one is perfect, and you are off-topic.”

“Everyone’s ideas are different, so who can say whose perspective is wrong? The phrase off-topic is not applicable in composition in the first place!” Yao Yi raised her voice, obviously dissatisfied.

“However, grading requires certain standards. If you follow your thinking, you will fail.” Fu Chuan explained in a patient voice.

Yao Yi held her pen and did not speak, protesting with silence. But she couldn’t refute what Fu Chuan said.

“Besides, every time you finish a big math problem, isn’t there an easier way to solve it? Why don’t you write it down?” Fu Chuan asked, pointing to a small math test paper on Yao Yi’s desk.

“Well, that’s because the simple method is not within the scope of high school.” Yao Yi frowned and answered.

Fu Chuan was patient and guided slowly: “Look, you know the standards for grading in mathematics, and you know that you don’t need to solve problems beyond the outline. The same is true for composition, it requires certain standards.”

Yao Yi stared at the test paper and was silent for a while: “Then… lend me your test paper.”

…

Zhao Qian listened to the argument behind him and thought: Why does it feel weird when these two people are discussing test papers?

Han Jiaojiao next to him looked down at her test paper, but her eyes were blank. Her attention was also on the two people behind her, and she was speechless: Yao Yi was so fierce, and she still wanted to date Fu Chuan?
