Forget it, just consider it as her being a good-hearted person and helping her seatmate speed up the process of finding a partner.

Not long after the class started, Xue Wenzhu began to return the test papers from the last session of the competition class. It was even more of a public execution as the teacher directly returned it in order of highest to lowest scores.

The tests for the competition class were based on a one-hundred point system, and Xie Xinglin was first every time.

And following that, the second and third place were never fixed. When he was almost halfway through with reading out the scores, Xue Wenshu’s expression became a little complicated.

“Su Qiuge, 85.”

A lot of people in the audience were somewhat surprised.

“This girl from Class 1 seemed to be attending the competition class for the first time during the last exam.”

“The first time and she already got such a high score? We were tested on past content.”

“She was fifth in the grade for the last math and science monthly exam.”

“I seemed to remember that she got into Class 1 based on connections…how could she be fifth in the grade?”

“It can’t be cheating…..”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I’m also in Class 1 and she’s made a lot of progress. How could she cheat in the class 12 examination room?’

“It’s said that there are connections in her family, maybe she already knew the exam questions?”

Su Qiuge walked to the podium and took the papers. Xue Wenzhu looked at her and said with a bit of deep meaning, “This classmate, you improved by more than 500 rank in the last monthly exam. I hope you can continue to maintain this progress for the section exam.”

Although the words seemed to be praising her, it also made people feel that something was not quite right. The people who were whispering and discussing became more intense.

Su Qiuge took the test and looked at Xue Wenzhu, then she smiled, “Thank you, teacher. I will also improve next time.”

During the break in the competition class, Lin Luoyu was taking notes with her head lowered. After a while, her gaze stopped on a question, as if she was thinking about something.

Su Qiuge casually glanced over and thought that she didn’t understand the problem, and was about to take the initiative to share her reasoning, but who knew that in the next second, the girl directly picked up her book and turned towards the back.

At this moment, many people had already gone out into the corridor to walk around and stretch their bodies. There was only Xie Xinglin, who was seated in the last row, with his head lowered, it was unknown what he was writing. Lin Luoyu walked towards him carrying her book.

When Su Qiuge saw this scene, she roughly understood something, so she twirled the baby hairs on her temples and turned her head around to continue working on her own questions.

Lin Luoyu boldly approached with the book. There was only Xie Xinglin in the last row. At this moment, his eyes were lowered and it looked like he was writing something. His back leaned against the chair and when he heard the sound of her footsteps, he raised his eyes slightly and calmly glanced at her.

Lin Luoyu’s heart tightened and remembered how he was like this before too. For some reason, he always carried an inherent aura of superiority. But as it happened, she was attracted to this aura. She wanted to see how this kind of boy that resembled a snow white flower on a mountaintop would be like after falling in love with someone, how touching it would be.

When she thought to this point, she raised the corner of her mouth and deliberately leaned over, trying to get her body closer to his, “Classmate, the last question the teacher discussed during class……I didn’t quite understand it, could you explain it to me?”

Xie Xinglin glanced at the question, then leaned back against his chair and away from her. He faintly raised his jaw and said to her, “You can go ask the teacher, he probably wouldn’t mind explaining it a second time.”

Lin Luoyu paused. The hand that was grasping her sleeve tightened before she loosened it. Then, she quickly glanced at the podium and said with a smile, “Sorry Classmate, the teacher left just now. I thought of asking you because, after all, I’m still a newcomer so I don’t know the situation of the class and you were number one, so I just……”

The pen twirled between Xie Xinglin’s fingers. Then, he lowered his eyes to continue answering his questions and casually said, “You don’t need to go far for help when it’s already available close by, you can ask your seatmate.”

Lin Luoyu was taken aback, and then belatedly realized that he was referring to Su Qiuge.

He filled in the answer for the last question with his pen, then raised his eyes to look at her. He raised one corner of his lips and unhurriedly said, “After all, such a simple question, even someone who wasn’t very clever like her should understand it.”

The tone of his words was obviously plain and ordinary, but Lin Luoyu seemed to have heard a trace of ridicule and mockery from it. It was as if all of her unspeakable thoughts were laid bare in front of his eyes, but he simply didn’t bother to say it outloud.

At this moment, the rose perfume that she had specifically selected before coming to school today became especially ridiculous, and even all the previous deliberate efforts became futile.

Her cheeks burned terribly and she forced out a smile, “Mhm, I got it.”

When she turned around, her nails faintly cut into the palms of her hand and her expression was incredibly gloomy.

It was the same, the same dismissive tone and attitude. It really made her unwilling.

She slowly returned to her seat and silently corrected the question.

Su Qiuge noticed that she corrected the original wrong answer. She thought that Xie Xinglin had talked to her, so Su Qiuge decided to not explain her reasoning. Instead, she held her head and thought, the progress between the two of them was quite good.
