Mu Yuwei carried a math problem to Bai Shinan’s desk. She lifted her hair behind her ear, revealing her fair swan‑like neck and her beautifully defined features. In that moment, Mu Yuwei looked breathtaking, stunning every boy in the class.
“Shinan, can you teach me this math problem?” Mu Yuwei’s voice was soft and sweet, sending tingles through anyone who heard it.
The other boys wished they could raise their hands and shout, I know that question! Goddess, ask me! But unfortunately for them, Mu Yuwei’s eyes were fixed only on Bai Shinan.
“No time. Go ask someone else.” Bai Shinan didn’t even spare her a glance. Even though Mu Yuwei would grow more beautiful in the future, it still wouldn’t shake him.
Mu Yuwei was trouble—she could ruin anyone she wanted in this life, as long as she didn’t come ruin him.
Mu Yuwei had prepared herself for rejection, but she didn’t expect it to be so clean, so firm, leaving not even a trace of hesitation. A wave of uneasiness washed over her—should she keep going or stop here?
“Classmate Yuwei, since Classmate Bai is busy, why don’t I teach you instead?” A boy who had been waiting for this moment sprang out.
Mu Yuwei looked him over. The speaker was their class monitor, Li Guangwei. He always wore gold‑rimmed glasses and kept his mushroom‑cut hair perfectly tidy. He was rigid, inflexible, but had good grades—second in the class, top twenty in the grade.
Mu Yuwei wanted to refuse, but Liu Tiantian was behind her desperately winking, blinking so hard it was a miracle her eyes didn’t cramp. Mu Yuwei glanced at Bai Shinan, only to find him paying zero attention to her, quietly doing his dictation.
“Then I’ll trouble you, Monitor.” Mu Yuwei agreed, though her smile was stiff and forced.
“It’s my duty, my duty. I am the class monitor after all.” Li Guangwei tried his best not to burst into laughter—Mu Yuwei actually acknowledged him.
“The monitor is so kind. Not like someone who only thinks about himself and fears losing precious study time,” Liu Tiantian said, repeatedly hinting at a certain person. Then she dragged her desk next to Mu Yuwei’s. “Monitor, I’ll lend you my seat. Make sure to tutor Yuwei well.”
“Tiantian, you…” Mu Yuwei’s expression changed slightly. Liu Tiantian hadn’t mentioned she would be sitting together with them.
“Oh come on, it’s easier to explain the questions this way. Everyone does it.” Liu Tiantian pushed Mu Yuwei into her chair, then tossed frantic signals toward Li Guangwei—Why are you frozen? Sit down already! You are reading on novelping.com, the official source.
Only then did Li Guangwei realize and take the seat next to Mu Yuwei. He scratched the back of his head and put on what he thought was a handsome smile. “Classmate Yuwei, sorry to bother you.”
Mu Yuwei glanced at his mouthful of crooked yellow teeth and felt pure disgust. Inevitably, she compared him to Bai Shinan—and the more she compared, the more repulsed she felt. She regretfully questioned why she had ever agreed to Liu Tiantian’s plan.
Even back then, when Bai Shinan tutored her, he only stood at her desk the entire time. Sitting next to her? That wasn’t something she ever had the right to expect.
While doing his dictation, Bai Shinan looked over at them for a moment—mainly at Li Guangwei. Was this the guy who tattled to Teacher Zhang? It certainly fit Li Guangwei’s character.
After a glance, he lost interest. As for jealousy? Impossible. In his previous life he hadn’t even kissed Mu Yuwei; calling himself her boyfriend was too generous—it was more like being a caretaker or servant.
This time, they didn’t even have the title of boyfriend and girlfriend. Whoever Mu Yuwei wanted to be with was none of his business. And if Li Guangwei really succeeded, well, Brother Haotian was waiting for him.
Mu Yuwei was about to lose her mind. Li Guangwei was so excited while explaining the problem that his spit splattered everywhere. If she hadn’t blocked it with her workbook, she might have thrown up her dinner.
And he had bad breath. Even sitting two seats apart, she could still detect a vague smell of garlic in the air.
“Alright, thank you, Monitor. I understand the problem now.” Mu Yuwei forced down her irritation, trying to send him away.
“No need to thank me,” Li Guangwei said modestly, waving his hand, inwardly ecstatic. Surely Mu Yuwei was impressed by his crystal‑clear thought process.
A vein pulsed on Mu Yuwei’s forehead. How could he not understand she wanted him to leave?
“Ah—right, I almost forgot.” Of course he didn’t forget. He just didn’t want to leave. Even across two seats, he could smell the faint fragrance on Mu Yuwei’s skin.
After Li Guangwei finally left, Liu Tiantian returned to her seat. Mu Yuwei’s face was as dark as storm clouds.
Mu Yuwei didn’t say anything, but Liu Tiantian still felt the weight of her displeasure. She forced an awkward laugh. After all, Li Guangwei had promised to buy her snacks and drinks from now on—wasn’t that far more considerate than Bai Shinan?
Without comparison, there would be no harm.
After Li Guangwei left, Mu Yuwei couldn’t focus on studying anymore. She rested her head on her desk, her eyes drifting over to Bai Shinan.
Bai Shinan sat quietly, the light outlining his sharp, clean features. With his slightly messy bangs, he looked like a handsome character stepping straight out of a novel.
His slender, fair fingers held his pen with calm confidence. There was something irresistibly attractive about a boy focused on his work.
Mu Yuwei stared at him in a daze for a long time, reluctant to even blink. She wondered how she had never noticed how good‑looking Bai Shinan was.
She remembered the first condition she had given him when he confessed to her back then—he was not allowed to cross boundaries with her. Now that she thought about it… maybe that rule wasn’t impossible to accept.
When no one was around, Bai Shinan would wrap an arm around her waist and pull her into his arms with strength, his masculine breath brushing her neck, leaving strawberry marks on her delicate skin…
Just imagining the scene made her heart race wildly. A strange sensation spread from the base of her spine throughout her entire body, leaving her mouth dry.
What… what was happening to her?
