When she went to school on Monday, the teachers checked the papers they had done at home on the weekend and they all flew into a rage. This time, the correct answers for the examination were at least two levels higher than before, causing many people to be on the verge of passing. Those who failed took up more than half of the spots, and there was not even a full score.
The reason Qin Siting did not get full marks was because he handed in a blank paper.
Of course, the teacher didn’t dare to ask why Prince Qin, who was always outstanding and always scored full marks for every paper, had handed in a blank paper this week. She only asked around during class and learned from a teacher who went on a business trip on a weekend that he saw Qin Siting at the airport early in the morning on Saturday. He was probably not in Hai City for the weekend and didn’t take the time to write his paper. Qin Siting didn’t explain anything and handed in the blank paper without even looking for a reason. This really made the teacher love and hate him.
As a result, the whole class spent the morning with the teacher-in-charge’s gloomy face. Even the physical education class was occupied by the teacher-in-charge. The students sat together to analyze the questions one by one.
It wasn’t easy for her to make it to noon. Shi Niange’s mind was already in a mess. She turned to look at Qin Siting and saw that he was actually supplementing the papers for the weekend. The teacher had clearly already explained the entire paper in the morning class and planned to leave behind another set of papers with the same pattern but different questions tonight. It was just that everyone needed to remember the solution.
However, what she saw was that Qin Siting had written down two methods to solve the problem. In the end, the answer was the same, but both methods were correct.
She said in surprise, “Almighty Qin, are you planning to study science all the way to the end? Are you going to MIT directly after graduation?”
By the time she realized that she had accidentally blurted out the word ‘Almighty Qin,’ Qin Siting had already stopped writing and turned to look at her.
Shi Niange’s expression did not change much. She did not try to hide the embarrassment of accidentally calling him ‘Almighty Qin.’ She just blinked at him naturally and smiled even bigger at him.
“It doesn’t matter what you learn. After all, we’re not the same.” Qin Siting retracted his gaze and continued to work on the problem. The black pen in his hand moved slightly, leaving behind rows of beautiful and smooth words. At the same time, he seemed to have thought of something and said coldly without even raising his eyelids: “At most, I’ll have to tolerate you sitting by my side for another year.”
Shi Niange rolled her eyes at the pen in his hand. “Of course not. After all, I have to learn medicine. Save the dying and help the injured, understand?”
Qin Siting stopped writing and turned to look at her.
Earlier on, Shi Niange was dissatisfied with his words. Before he could speak, she said, “You keep entangling with these science subjects like physics and chemistry everyday. I’ll wait for you to use your brain and run to the hospital to queue for treatment. I will treat you.”
With that, Shi Niange stood up and left.
This was the first time she was angry after sitting by Qin Siting’s side for nearly a month.
He actually said that he would tolerate her sitting by his side for another year. He even said that they would not be on the same path in the future.
Was she that annoying?
Shi Niange had never doubted her character, appearance, or any other aspects. She had never considered the possibility that she was inferior to others or worse than them. However, today, she had really suffered a blow, causing her to be listless during lunch at the school cafeteria.
“Why are you so dazed today?” Zhao Xiaoqing knocked on her plate with her chopsticks. “What’s wrong?”
Shi Niange supported her chin with one hand as she sat by the dining table. She tugged at the food on her plate as she said, “If I switch seats with Hai Xiusei will you be happy?”
Zhao Xiaoqing widened her eyes. “Of course I’ll be happy. You just skipped a grade and came to our class. Everyone likes you, and we’re good friends. If you can sit with me, I’ll be so happy!”
Shi Niange nodded and stopped asking. She lowered her head and continued eating.
She had already come to a conclusion.
She was not the problem.
Qin Siting was blind.
Before class in the morning, she had half an hour to rest on the table. Shi Niange leaned on the table and closed her eyes, wanting to sleep for a while. However, she could not fall asleep, especially when she heard the sound of someone writing next to her. Although it was very quiet, her deskmate was very close. In the quiet classroom, she heard it very clearly.
Couldn’t he tell that she was angry?
He really did not have any love for his deskmate. He could not even say anything nice.
Shi Niange really could not sleep. After a while, she realized that the person beside her did not continue writing. It was very quiet.
It was so quiet that she didn’t know if he was resting on the table or doing something. However, she didn’t seem to have heard him get up, so he should still be sitting, right?
After a few more minutes, she closed her eyes and turned her head. She carefully opened her eyes a little, only to meet Qin Siting’s gaze.
Shi Niange was startled.
Qin Siting did not avoid her gaze. He just looked at her and then slowly shifted his gaze away, continuing to write on his desk.
It was as though nothing had happened, but Shi Niange’s heart was pounding.
Was he looking at her just now?
Was he watching her sleep?
Earlier, she had been a little angry, but now, she seemed to have forgotten all about it. All that was left was the clean and handsome young man sitting there quietly looking at her. His calm but not distant and cold gaze made her lose her anger, and her face began to heat up.
During the afternoon lab class, Zhao Xiaoqing waved her hand in front of Shi Niange’s eyes. When she saw Shi Niange raise her head, she said, “You weren’t normal this afternoon. In the afternoon, you seemed to have been abandoned. Now it seems that everything is beautiful. What happened?”
“Really?” Shi Niange lowered her head to do the experiment. “Aren’t I always happy?”
“It’s different from being happy like a kitten that has stolen a fish.” Zhao Xiaoqing leaned over and asked, “Did Almighty Qin give you his phone number?”
“No.”
“Then why are you so silly?”
Shi Niange looked around at the other students, then carefully whispered into Zhao Xiaoqing’s ear, “When I was sleeping at noon, Qin Siting was looking at me.”
“Ah? Why did Almighty Qin watch you?”
“Yes, why does he want to see me?” Shi Niange’s smile widened.
“For how long did he watch you?”
“A few seconds?”
“How can you be so happy just for a few seconds? Maybe he was looking at you because your arm was pressed against his paper?”
“I don’t care. In any case, he’s looking at me.” Shi Niange was still very pleased. Her eyes curved into crescents as she turned back to look behind her. She saw that Qin Siting was assisting the teacher in conducting an experiment.
The white lab coat was especially eye-catching on him. It looked really good. She wondered if she would have a chance to see him in a doctor’s coat in the future. That would be a complete dream!
