Chapter 76
After finishing evening self-study and returning home, Qiu Chi completed her homework and then took out Jiang Youyou's full set of practice workbooks, along with the various miscellaneous problem sets and test papers her parents had bought for her.
Jiang Youyou's academic performance was average. Although she diligently did her homework, she would procrastinate and avoid touching the practice materials her parents bought for her to grind through.
There were still plenty of untouched materials, so it was perfect—she didn't need to go buy any more.
Qiu Chi planned to bring all of these to school for Yu Xiao tomorrow as a meeting gift.
The next day, Qiu Chi went to school carrying a box.
When Qiu Chi arrived, Yu Xiao was already there, slumped over his desk. He sat up straight as soon as he saw her, his eyes filled with a hint of anticipation as he looked first at the box she was holding, and then back at her.
At that moment, many students in the class were secretly glancing over, extremely curious about what was inside the box.
Then they saw Qiu Chi smile as she placed the box on Yu Xiao's desk, opened it, and took out a stack of materials.
The brilliant smile that hadn't yet had a chance to form on Yu Xiao's face now turned stiff.
He tore his gaze away from the items Qiu Chi had taken out and stiffly turned his neck to look at her.
He saw Qiu Chi smile at him and say, “A meeting gift. You have to study hard.”
The classmates who had been ready to gossip couldn't help but shudder after seeing the stack of materials Qiu Chi produced. They all quickly averted their gazes and picked up their phones.
Yu Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth into a smile that looked worse than a grimace.
He desperately wanted to say that he didn't need this stuff!
But then he saw Qiu Chi's smiling face turn serious, and she said in a deadpan tone, “I accepted your meeting gift yesterday. You're not going to refuse mine, are you?”
Forcing an ugly smile, Yu Xiao said with difficulty, “H-how could I? Of course I'll accept it...”
Only then did Qiu Chi pat his shoulder in satisfaction. “Very good. I'll supervise you as you do the problems. It's a token of my goodwill, after all. You definitely won't just toss it aside and ignore it, right?”
Yu Xiao could barely even force a smile now.
But under Qiu Chi's gaze, it was as if he'd forgotten how to refuse. He could only nod with difficulty. “Right. I definitely won't. I'm not that kind of person.”
Only then was Qiu Chi satisfied.
She returned to her seat, took out her homework, and resumed spacing out.
Yu Xiao glanced at the zoned-out Qiu Chi, then looked back at the nearly full box of practice materials, feeling as if his heart were bleeding.
Meanwhile, the news that Qiu Chi had given Yu Xiao practice materials had already spread everywhere.
“The mystery of the meeting gift is about to be solved! Everyone, come and guess what it is!”
“Breakfast, probably. After all, School Hunk Yu gave her snacks. Sob sob, I want to be School Hunk Yu's deskmate too! I wouldn't even need a gift; I'd be the one bringing him breakfast every day!”
“Breakfast +1. It might even be a handmade, love-filled breakfast. Ahhh, I'm so jealous of Jiang Youyou!”
“To those guessing breakfast, please use your brains. Jiang Youyou came in carrying a box. What kind of breakfast needs a box that big?”
“I saw Jiang Youyou carrying it effortlessly, so the contents probably aren't that heavy. Maybe it's snacks, too?”
“Why can't it be a full set of practice workbooks? [doge head]”
“Holy shit, you devil. That's Yu Xiao we're talking about, he's so handsome! How dense would someone have to be to give him a full set of practice workbooks? It's definitely not that!”
Most people thought it was food; even those who guessed it was practice workbooks were just joking.
Until someone came to reveal the answer: “Someone actually guessed it. Although it's unbelievable, Jiang Youyou really did give him a huge pile of practice materials. Damn, I shuddered when I saw it. I'm just glad I'm not her deskmate!”
The lively group chat fell silent for a moment, then a flood of “Holy shit” messages filled the screen.
“How clueless can Jiang Youyou be? Giving him practice materials! I'm crying. Why am I not School Hunk Yu's deskmate? I guarantee I'd give a better gift than her!”
“@ the person above, literally anyone could give a better gift than Jiang Youyou. Not giving anything would have been better than what she gave.”
“I'm curious what expression School Hunk Yu has right now...”
As soon as that was said, someone immediately snapped a candid photo of Yu Xiao and posted it in the group.
Although he was still very handsome, you could clearly see his dazed and shocked expression.
Looking again at Qiu Chi spacing out beside him, they just wanted to say: “Let me take her place! Putting Jiang Youyou next to School Hunk Yu is a monstrous injustice! Doesn't she know how to appreciate such a handsome guy?!”
