Chapter 1459: You Are My Little Love Song (26)
Hao Xiushe was late by a few minutes today. When he entered the class and sat down, he saw that the teacher had yet to arrive. He quickly called Shi Niange from the back. “Nian Nian, quick, lend me the papers from last night. My parents fought at home last night and caused chaos. I didn’t do my homework and went downstairs for half a night. Afterward, I was too tired and didn’t write. Teacher Zhao will be here soon. Lend me the papers. I promise I’ll finish in five minutes!”
“Okay, I’ll look for it.” Shi Niange turned back and saw Hao Xiushe’s anxious look. She lowered her head and searched through her bag, but she couldn’t find it. “Wait a minute. Let me think where I put it. It seems to be in a book. I brought lots of books today.”
“Hurry up, Old Zhao is coming!”
Zhao Xiaoqing handed in her papers as soon as she entered the class. Therefore, Hao Xiushe could only ask Shi Niange for help.
However, Shi Niange did bring a lot of books today. She didn’t know where they were. Seeing the little fatty so anxious, she said, “Why don’t you take Almighty Qin’s paper and copy it first?”
“Okay! That’s even better! Almighty Qin’s accuracy is 100%! I’ll just copy two-thirds of it. As for the rest, I’ll just blindly write. Old Zhao definitely won’t find out that I copied it!” He nodde.
Shi Niange saw that Qin Siting, who was sitting by the side, did not react to her words, so she picked up his bag and placed it on her lap. She opened it and searched.
When the girl at the next table got up to pour some water, she saw Shi Niange’s actions and said in surprise, “Student Shi, are you so close to Almighty Qin? You can even look through his bag?”
Shi Niange did not find Qin Siting’s paper, nor did she pay attention to the girls passing by. She only turned to look at him. “Where’s your paper?”
Qin Siting sat there without batting an eyelid. His chin was slightly raised in the direction of the podium. Shi Niange’s sluggish mind seemed to have finally regained its memory.
Yes, he seemed to have placed the papers on the podium.
Right now, she was still hugging his bag and placing it on her lap. Hao Xiushe had to rushed to borrow them from someone else.
Zhao Xiaoqing sat in the back, looking at Shi Niange and then at Qin Siting. She chuckled and lowered her head to send Shi Niange a message: [Almighty Qin actually allowed you to look through his bag. He isn’t angry. Nian Nian, how did you do it? Isn’t that too amazing?]
Shi Niange felt her phone vibrating in her pocket. She quickly put her bag back and took out her phone to take a look. Her heart skipped a beat.
She was just used to sitting by Qin Siting’s side and being neglected by him. Usually, she followed the principle of doing things herself. If she could not disturb him, she would not disturb him. For example, when she was handing out papers and holding books, she was used to reaching out to take them. Anyway, he would not even reach out his hand.
He probably wouldn’t mind lending his paper, so she didn’t think too much about it.
But now that she thought about it, the matter of rummaging through his bag did seem too intimate.
Most importantly, Qin Siting remained calm and did not refuse.
[I’ve been sitting next to this fatty for almost three years, but he hasn’t let me go through his bag.] Zhao Xiaoqing sent her another message.
Shi Niange didn’t know how to reply. At this moment, Teacher Zhao came in. She quickly put her phone away, but the corner of her lips strangely had an unconcealable smile.
In the days that followed, Qin Siting’s initial rejection of her changed to gradually becoming used to the person sitting next to him. Even if he still did not take the initiative to say or do anything to her, his attitude remained indifferent. At the very least, he would occasionally interact with her normally. Sometimes, when Shi Niange asked him some questions, he would answer a few of them. He would also answer a few of them. Gradually, he spoke more. Even if he said one more word today than yesterday, Shi Niange would be happy for the entire day.
She had never thought that her thoughts would be completely occupied by someone every day. At Shi Niange’s age, she usually had nothing to worry about. Aside from her parents wanting her to learn finance while she wanted to learn medicine, there didn’t seem to be anything in life that made her worry too much. Her parents’ words were only a suggestion, and they didn’t force her to make a choice, so there was nothing for her to be unhappy about. Right now, her heart was stuffed full by Qin Siting every day. As long as he turned to look at her when she spoke, she would be especially happy.
…
The midterm examinations were approaching. Recently, the third year of high school had entered the state of self-study at 9: 30 p.m. Every day, everyone’s complexion was much more haggard than the first two months because they were too focused on the exam and revision.
Recently, because her parents had returned to the country, Shi Niange had to be brought back to the Shi family by Uncle Qin every day. At night, she had to chat with her parents and do her homework. She could only sleep after 11: 30 p.m., but her sleep quality had always been good. When she woke up in the morning, she was in a good state. Besides, there was a top student sitting next to her. Right now, Qin Siting would mostly answer her questions about her studies. Her grades had improved by leaps and bounds. She could not be ranked in the top of the school year, but she definitely would not be ranked last.
She placed the thermos cup she brought in the morning on Qin Siting’s table. “This is the fruit tea Auntie made. I left it in the fridge last night. It’s ice-cold and especially delicious. Try it.”
Qin Siting glanced at her, looked away, and did not drink.
“It’s not very sweet. It’s just pure fruit tea. Everyone has tasted the milk tea powder I brought to our class last month. You’ve tasted it too. You must know my aunt’s cooking.” Shi Niange opened the lid and handed it to him. “Try it. It’s cold and refreshing.”
Qin Siting glanced at the cup in front of him and took a sip.
Shi Niange smiled and closed the lid. “I thought you would like it, so I specially brought it here. I saw that you don’t usually drink coffee or milk tea, nor do you eat meat. You are more accepting of fruits and vegetables, so you will definitely like this fruit tea.”
After Qin Siting finished drinking, he gave a faint “en” and did not say anything.
Shi Niange was used to it. After a while, she said, “The midterm exams are coming up soon. I haven’t finished my second-year classes yet. The third-year classes are only half-completed. There might be more problems in the next few days. Do you think I’m too talkative?”
Qin Siting did not reply. Although he had replied several times, it was not every time.
Speaking of this, Shi Niange was still quite depressed because she had yet to obtain Qin Siting’s phone number. That meal on the side street had only happened because of a coincidence. Afterward, even if she wanted to meet him at the school cafeteria, she didn’t have the opportunity…
