Chapter 147 Brown Sugar (1/4)

It was the first morning self-study session after the month-long vacation. At 5:50, the sky was just beginning to dawn, but still dark. Students entered the classroom one after another, bustling and noisy.

"Someone once promised me that he would rank in the top 800. Now, let alone the top 800, he can't even make it into the top 900. Do you have any idea?" Lin Yuehua posted the midterm exam results on the blackboard and complained calmly after coming back.

"Well, uh, nine hundred and three, if rounded up, wouldn't it be the first nine hundred? If rounded up again, wouldn't it be the first eight hundred?" Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head and argued.

Lin Yuehua raised her eyebrows: "You are too modest, as long as you keep rounding up, you will be the first in the grade!"

"How can you be so vulgar that you only look at the overall score and not the individual's progress? I have improved by more than 200 places this time. Do you believe that I can also get a star of improvement at the commendation meeting?"

"From last in the class to fourth in the class?"

"I've improved by more than 200 places in just one month. I can't even imagine how much stronger I'll be in another five months!"

"You can always improve by more than 200 people every time?"

Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head. Even if he was thick-skinned, he would not dare to make such a promise. Learning has marginal effects, and the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes.

Lin Yuehua curled her lips and said, "What did we say before? What if you can't get into the top 800?"

"Don't abandon me, flower!"

"Humph!"

"Look, I prepare small bread for you every day!" Li Zhuangsheng took out a small bread from the table, tore open the package and handed it to her, "Hua, come and eat...ah!"

Lin Yuehua took the bread, punched it, and said sternly: "Don't give me that, study hard, if you can't get into the top 700 next time, I will really expel you from my school."

Li Zhuangsheng was angry: "Didn't you say that the first 800 yuan would be given before the holiday? Why don't you keep your word?"

"That's what you said. Did I promise you?" Lin Yuehua had a faint smile on her face. She bit off half of the meat floss bread and said vaguely, "Also, just think about the novel at noon. Don't be distracted in class!"

"Okay, no problem!" Li Zhuangsheng agreed readily, although it was difficult to stay focused during class.

"Oh, by the way, congratulations on regaining the first place in the liberal arts this time. You didn't embarrass me, your apprentice!" Li Zhuangsheng smiled and took out a brand new thermos cup from the edge of his schoolbag and placed it generously on her desk. "This is for you. Don't be polite to me!"

Lin Yuehua was slightly startled. In front of her was a very beautiful pink thermos cup with a cute Hello Kitty pattern printed on it.

Li Zhuangsheng snorted: "Don't be too touched. After all, I lost this time. If I rank in the top 800 in the next monthly exam, you will agree to my terms!"

Lin Yuehua hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out to the thermos.

She felt that she shouldn't accept it. They were not related at all, so why did she always accept gifts from others? She knew that this kind of thermos cup was expensive, at least several dozen yuan.

In the past, when Li Zhuangsheng invited her to dinner, he always made excuses saying that he bought too much and couldn't finish it. But how could Lin Yuehua not tell the truth? She wanted to eat it herself, and she made excuses in her heart saying that if she couldn't finish it, it would be a waste.

Then I comforted myself, it’s okay, I also spent time teaching him to study... I will teach him more in the future... I also brought him pears...

She didn't know when, but she had become accustomed to Li Zhuangsheng's kindness. She could eat the things Li Zhuangsheng bought for her without any fuss, and he didn't even have to make excuses anymore.

How cunning, boiling her like a frog in warm water. If Li Zhuangsheng had been like this from the beginning, she would definitely not have accepted it.

Lin Yuehua felt that this was not good, and she should not accept other people's kindness so comfortably. She always felt that she might have to pay a huge price in the future.

The only trace of clarity reminded Lin Yuehua that she should end it and keep her distance from Li Zhuangsheng before the price comes.

He was just feeling sorry for himself. After all, he was someone that even Zhu Zhixue and Hu Mengdie liked.

Lin Yuehua picked up the thermos and it was unexpectedly heavy, as if it was full of water.

"I've washed you and poured you some hot water. Don't choke when you eat the bread." Li Zhuangsheng smiled and puffed out his chest, "Look, where can you find a good apprentice like me? You are so heartless, and you're always thinking about expelling me from your sect!" Lin Yuehua's mind was a little blank. She unscrewed the bottle cap, then clumsily turned on the water switch, and imitated other girls to pour water into the bottle cap. But what came out was brown sugar water with a faint fragrance.

She suddenly looked at Li Zhuangsheng, who turned his face away slightly: "It's brown sugar water. When I made it for my sister, I also made some for you."

In fact, Li Zhuangsheng figured this out based on Lin Yuehua's time last month. After all, he had a younger sister and a wife, so Li Zhuangsheng had a keen sense of observation and some common sense.

Last month, I saw that Lin Yuehua seemed to be in pain, and Li Zhuangsheng couldn't do much for her, so he could only send her some brown sugar water. However, this kind of thing is not suitable for public discussion. Remembering the menstrual period of a little girl feels like a pervert with bad intentions.

"Oh, by the way, I have this here. I bought it for my sister, but she said she didn't like the taste, so I'll give it to you."

As Li Zhuangsheng spoke, he took out a box of brown sugar from his schoolbag and stuffed it into Lin Yuehua's desk as if nothing had happened.

Lin Yuehua lowered her eyes silently, her heart was lazy, as if she was drowning in a hot spring. She didn't want to say what she had originally planned to say.

She silently picked up the cup lid and blew gently.

I just need to teach him to study, I just need to teach him to study more attentively...

"Li Zhuangsheng, good morning. You're here quite early today!"

Zhu Zhixue walked into the classroom carrying her schoolbag. Without even looking at Lin Yuehua, she greeted Li Zhuangsheng with a smile.

"When have I never come early?" Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile.

Zhu Zhixue shook her head in front of Li Zhuangsheng, showing off her long twin ponytails with a smile: "Tsk, when did you not step on the bell to enter class every day? Hey, look at my new hairstyle!"

Li Zhuangsheng glanced at her big fierceness and said: "It's quite good-looking, with a kind of contrasting cuteness."

"Contrasting cuteness?" Zhu Zhixue was slightly shy and laughed, "Hey, are you praising me?"

"Go back to your seat."

At this moment, a cold voice interrupted their conversation.

Zhu Zhixue frowned: "What did you say?"

Lin Yuehua's tone became even more severe: "Morning reading will start soon, go back to your seat!"

Zhu Zhixue glanced at her watch and said unconvincedly: "Isn't there still two minutes left?"

Lin Yuehua glared at him: "You came here to talk so early in the morning? You didn't even put down your schoolbag? Who is the monitor on duty today? I'll deduct your group points!"

Zhu Zhixue choked and looked at Li Zhuangsheng aggrievedly.

Li Zhuangsheng could only use his eyes to show that he was helpless, and he did not dare to confront Lin Yuehua head-on. Zhu Zhixue stamped her feet and had to leave in a huff.

Why is this four-eyed bamboo pole even more domineering and arrogant today than usual? It's so infuriating!

"Well, you're not really going to deduct points from their group, are you? I think it's just a small matter, so let it go."

After Zhu Zhixue left, Li Zhuangsheng pleaded for her in a low voice.

"Stop talking nonsense and memorize your words! You are so careless. How can you get into the top 700 next time?" Lin Yuehua scolded.

"Oh oh..." Li Zhuangsheng picked up the English textbook in a hurry.

She was so irritable, it must be her period.
