Chapter 77
When Qiu Chi said she would supervise, she naturally wasn’t joking.
She only spaced out for a moment, giving Yu Xiao some time to process, then she tilted her head and, in a calm tone, spoke words that were, in Yu Xiao’s view, fatal.
“It’s morning self-study right now. If you have nothing else to do, you might as well start writing. After all, you should pay proper attention in class.”
Yu Xiao: “…” How can someone who spaces out in class have the nerve to say that?
Yu Xiao really wanted to refuse in a cool, handsome, and arrogant way. After all, he had never been the obedient type. Even if he was interested in someone, it didn’t mean he had to compromise.
But the moment his eyes met Qiu Chi’s, he couldn’t explain what happened—it was as if he’d turned into a coward.
He spoke against his true feelings: “Alright, I’ll start writing now.”
After realizing what he had just said, Yu Xiao really wanted to slap himself.
In the end, he gave up on hitting himself and put on a troubled expression, starting to seek a little benefit for himself: “What if I don’t know how to do them? My grades aren’t that good, after all.”
The normal script would be for Qiu Chi to agree to explain the problems to him.
The students at the desks in front and behind had already perked up their ears, all awaiting Qiu Chi’s answer.
But Qiu Chi’s answer was far beyond their expectations: “If you don’t know how, you can ask the teacher. Or there are plenty of students in class with good grades; they’d surely be happy to explain the problems to you. Don’t come asking me about everything. For trivial matters like this, can’t you just use your own brain?”
Although Qiu Chi’s tone showed no impatience, her eyes clearly displayed the message: How can you be so stupid?
Yu Xiao was so shocked that for a moment, he didn’t even know what kind of expression to make.
A muffled laugh came from the front, but it quickly vanished.
Yu Xiao finally snapped back to his senses and slumped onto his desk with a dark expression.
He was just too furious!
He was going to die of anger!
No girl had ever dared to treat him like this!
He decided to switch tactics to close the distance between them!
What had just happened immediately started to spread again.
After all, Yu Xiao was the center of attention now. Even for a trivial matter, people were happy to listen.
“Holy cow, I’m just gonna say it, holy cow. What kind of iron-willed straight girl is this? Can’t she understand the subtext from our handsome Yu?”
“This is playing hard to get, right? Right? Right?”
“If she’s really that dense, I’m actually pretty happy. It means she won’t be able to take advantage of her proximity to him.”
“If I ask her to deliver a love letter for me, she probably wouldn’t refuse, right?”
“Should we try bribing her?”
So, during the break, Qiu Chi was once again pulled out of the classroom by the girl at the desk in front, bribed with a cup of milk tea.
Qiu Chi thought the girl wanted to share some gossip, but instead, a group of girls ran up to her, shyly and awkwardly handing her a pink envelope.
Qiu Chi looked at the pink envelope, then at the blushing girls, and had a sudden realization. “You want me to help deliver a love letter?”
One of the bolder ones looked up and said, “Yes. Don’t worry, we won’t let you help for free. We’ll cover all your snacks!”
“That won’t be necessary.”
They were all students; Qiu Chi wasn’t that depraved. “I can deliver the love letter for you, but whether it’s successful or not has nothing to do with me.”
“And let me be clear beforehand, I’ll only help deliver it this once. Don’t come looking for me next time.”
Since Qiu Chi agreed to help deliver the love letter, they were thrilled and quickly nodded in agreement with her terms.
After taking their love letters, Qiu Chi threw the empty milk tea cup into the trash, went back into the classroom, and placed the letters in front of Yu Xiao, who was slumped over his desk.
Yu Xiao wasn’t asleep. Sensing someone place something on his desk, he opened his eyes and saw a stack of pink envelopes.
Before he could even imagine that these were love letters from Qiu Chi, a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. “These are love letters someone asked me to deliver. I’m leaving them here.”
Yu Xiao felt a surge of anger and directly tore up the love letters, scattering the pieces all over the floor.
Qiu Chi said with a deadpan expression, “I don’t care if you don’t want to read them or if you want to reject them, but don’t litter.”
Yu Xiao was both angry and shocked. “Is that all you’re focused on?”
Am I really that charmless?!
She can’t even see such an obvious gesture of goodwill?!
“What else? Before class starts, you’d better clean up the trash you made.”
Yu Xiao sneered, took out a few hundred yuan, and gave it to the boy behind him. “Sweep up the trash on the floor. This is all yours.”
At first, the boy was a little annoyed, but he got excited when he saw the money. “Alright! I’ll clean it up for you right away. Remember to call me next time you have a good deal like this.”
Yu Xiao looked at Qiu Chi and said, “The trash problem is solved. Now let’s talk about the love letters. This morning you told me to study hard, so why are you delivering love letters for other people to me now? Do you not want me to study hard anymore?”
Qiu Chi felt that there was something wrong with how that sounded.
“What do you mean, I don’t want you to study hard? Studying is your own business. This morning you said you would do your problems, did you? You’re the one who doesn’t want to study hard, and now you’re blaming me?”
“Fine, not studying hard is my problem. But why did you help them deliver the love letters? You should at least explain that, right?”
Qiu Chi was silent for a moment before giving an answer that made Yu Xiao want to flip a table. “The little girls are all quite cute, and they came to me for help. It was just a small effort, so why shouldn’t I help them deliver it?”
Yu Xiao was so angry he laughed. “Are they better looking than me? Am I not handsome enough?!”
Qiu Chi gave Yu Xiao a surprised look. “How are you worthy of being compared to them?”
Yu Xiao: “???”
