chapter 13

For a girl, standing at the back of the classroom holding up a chair for an entire class period is an extremely humiliating thing.

There have been girls in our class who had to do it, and they usually stood there crying the whole time.

Some with weaker nerves would take a leave of absence and go home right after, unable to face the ridicule of their classmates.

I once forgot my homework too, but as the top student in the whole school, I naturally received special treatment.

But now, I am Liu Qingqing, not Chen Yanxia anymore.

Cold sweat instantly broke out all over me.

A fat girl weighing nearly 200 jin standing in the last row holding up a chair…

And with my current physical strength, I’d need to rest after just a minute. Who knows how my classmates would laugh at me then…

Seeing my pale face, Lu Xiuqi rubbed my head, flashing a big, bright smile that was even more dazzling than the sun hanging outside.

“What are you panicking for? I’m here.”

Lu Xiuqi shoved his own test paper into my hands, then got up with a nonchalant look, picked up his chair, and walked to the back.

The math teacher glanced at him with disgust, as if Lu Xiuqi were a pile of garbage.

I clutched the test paper Lu Xiuqi handed me. It was very clean-he’d marked C for all the multiple-choice questions, scribbled a few random numbers for the fill-in-the-blanks, and left all the big questions at the end blank.

The gratitude I’d felt a moment ago vanished, replaced by a surge of anger.

Lu Xiuqi is actually very smart, with a great memory-he can recite most of an article after reading it two or three times.

His family isn’t well-off, but even if they were, he shouldn’t waste his talent and squander his life like this.

No, I can’t let Lu Xiuqi keep going down this path.

After all, we can be considered friends now.
