Li Erqin gave Ruan Mingxian a rueful smile . “It doesn’t matter . Even the amazing Rong Si couldn’t help me with my Physics . ”

Ruan Mingxian laughed . “Is that your exam paper you’re holding? Let me take a look . ”

Li Erqin handed over her test paper that she had folded into neat squares .

Ruan Mingxian gave a quick glance . So many red marks!

He pointed at a particular question on the exam and asked Li Erqin, “I just helped Ruan Nuonuo with this problem . Do you want me to explain it to you too?”

Li Erqin was doubtful . “Now?”

“After dinner?” Ruan Mingxian tilted his chin up to indicate that he was heading upstairs . “I’m actually running an errand for the teacher now . He’s waiting for me . ”

“Then I’ll treat you to dinner . ” Li Erqin thought a bit before replying further, “It’ll be a thank you for tutoring me . ”

Ruan Mingxian didn’t bother trying to be polite about it . “Sure . ”

When she returned to the classroom, Li Erqin unexpectedly found Peng Zige buried in his books .

It was very hot in the classroom, and Peng Zige had taken off his sweater and shoved it inside his desk . He only had on a white, long-sleeved hoodie . The draft paper under his right hand was already full of scrawls and calculations .

Su Zi had just turned around to talk with Peng Zige when she saw Li Erqin and smiled . “You’re back?”

“Yeah . ” Li Erqin sat down .

Su Zi went back to talking with Peng Zige and flipped through the textbook in her hand . “I feel like you’re not very familiar with this topic . The practice problems are right here . If you can understand these, then the rest of the questions should be no problem . ”

Peng Zige moved his head closer for a look . “Is that right …”

Su Zi took out a blue exercise book and flipped it open . “Yes . See here, from this problem to this problem, they all have to do with this topic . ”

“Oh ……”

Peng Zige gripped the book and bent down to do the calculations .

Li Erqin took out her own book and then turned back to talk to Rong Si . “Well… . ”

Rong Si looked up . Well what?

“I made plans to eat dinner with Ruan Mingxian tonight . ”

This time, Rong Si raised his entire head . His right eyebrow lifted up ever so slightly .

Li Erqin quickly explained . “I just ran into Ruan Mingxian as I was coming back to class . He said he would help me go over my Physics paper . ”

Rong Si nodded . “OK . ”

Peng Zige stopped his furious scribbles and asked, “Ruan Mingxian is going to help you look over your Physics paper?”

“Yeah . ”

Peng Zige’s face said that he was unhappy and did not understand . “Are Ah Si’s explanations no good?”

Li Erqin asked back, “Who said that?”

Peng Zige was stumped again . “Then why go to Ruan Mingxian for help?”

Li Erqin felt like Peng Zige was misunderstanding something, but she didn’t know how to respond .

In the end, Rong Si was the calm one . “What’s wrong with having one more person explain things to Li Erqin?”

Peng Zige thought this made sense . “That’s true . ”

Rong Si jabbed his pen at the exercise book that was pressed under Peng Zige’s elbow . “See here, not only did I help you with this, but you also had Su Zi’s help . ”

Peng Zige thought that what Rong Si said was completely reasonable, and he continued working on the exercises that he had so unceremoniously stopped before .

Everyone went back to their own studies .

Suddenly, Peng Zige drew an angry mark across his book . He turned towards Rong Si . “Ah Si, are you stupid?”

Rong Si glanced sideways at him .

“By letting Ruan Mingxian tutor Li Erqin, aren’t you giving him an opening?”

The corners of Rong Si’s lips curled up, as if he had just heard something funny .

Peng Zige immediately looked towards Li Erqin to see her reaction . Luckily, she didn’t seem to have noticed their low whispers .

He lowered his voice even further . “What are you smiling about?”

“What you said makes sense . ”

Peng Zige was flabbergasted . “And you’re still so nonchalant about it?”

“Yeah . ”

“Yeah?”

Rong Si went back to his work and continued looking at figures and numbers that in Peng Zige’s eyes were a big jumble .

Peng Zige was harried and used his hands to cover Rong Si’s book . “Don’t play at being a deep thinker . If you have something to say, just say it!”

(Minodayz : Yah RS… . we all wanna hear you SAY IT!!! lol)

Rong Si was helpless . “Use your head and think about it . ”

Peng Zige was perplexed . “Think about what?”

Rong Si: “……”

Peng Zige blinked big eyes that were begging for understanding and clarity .

Rong Si had no choice . “…… It’s nothing . Li Erqin won’t be thinking about anything other than getting help with her Physics . ”

Peng Zige turned this thought over in his head and agreed . “What you say makes sense . ”

This time, Peng Zige finally returned to his studies with appropriate diligence .

And yet, a short while later, he jabbed Rong Si with his elbow . “Ruan Mingxian sure is having a hard time chasing after the girl he likes… . . ”

(Minodayz : PZG – you’ve nailed it again! Hahahaha lmao)

Rong Si had nothing to say .

*He sympathized completely .
