In the classroom.
The physics teacher was drawing diagrams on the blackboard to analyze electric and magnetic fields. Yun Xiang kept her eyes wide, trying her best to follow the teacher’s train of thought.
She really wanted to pay attention, but…
【*Do-do-do-di-di-di-da-da-da~*】
【*Beautiful girls who love Bro, listen to what Bro has to say. Bro already has a wife at home; your love hurts her and it hurts me~*】
【*Please don’t be obsessed with Bro anymore; Bro is just a legend~*】
【*Every strong man has his share of bitter setbacks~ The reason I’m indifferent is that I’ve seen through it all~*】
These catchy, tacky songs, paired with the boy’s clean and cold voice, played in a 360-degree loop around Yun Xiang’s head, making her feel as if she were in a dizzying KTV booth.
The girl slowly clenched her fists. Her bright, black deer-like eyes lost their focus and began to glaze over.
Her brow furrowed slightly as she stole several glances at Pei Xingche from the corner of her eye.
The boy’s profile was sharp, the bridge of his nose had a superior curve, and his thin eyelids were lifted as his long, narrow eyes looked at the blackboard, seemingly focused on the lesson.
Shifting her gaze upward, Yun Xiang saw Little Ala wagging its big tail, its dark almond eyes staring at her without blinking.
Noticing her gaze, Little Ala gave a silly smile and then shyly raised its little paws to cover its eyes.
At the same time, Pei Xingche’s supremely confident inner voice rang out:
【*Yo, yo, yo, Wifey is peeking at Bro again. Could it be that she’s fallen for Bro’s charms?*】
【*That’s right, Bro’s handsome features are the beginning of your heart fluttering.*】
Yun Xiang: ?
She withdrew her gaze, reaching the limit of her patience. She glanced at the teacher on the podium, pursed her lips, and swallowed the words she wanted to say.
Instead, she tore off a sticky note, bit her lip, and gripped her pen. After scribbling a line of text, she stuck the note onto Pei Xingche’s desk while the teacher wasn’t looking.
Pei Xingche’s peripheral vision had actually been fixed on Yun Xiang the whole time, taking in all her little movements, so he naturally noticed the note immediately.
However, the note was stuck on the edge of the desk and the handwriting was small, so Pei Xingche couldn’t see it clearly.
Just as he reached out to peel the note off to get a closer look, he accidentally touched warm, tender skin.
This strange sensation brought a jolt of static electricity, sending a numbing tingle through his whole body like a shock.
Then, because the current was too strong, his brain short-circuited for a moment, and he jerked his hand back as if he had been burned.
Yun Xiang was also clearly stunned, though her reaction wasn’t as dramatic as Pei Xingche’s. She quickly peeled the note off and crumpled it into a ball.
That was terrifying.
She had almost given herself away.
She must have been driven stupid by listening to Pei Xingche’s “demonic music.” What she had written directly on the note was: “Can you please stop singing?”
Yun Xiang let out a soft sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had reacted in time and snatched the note back before Pei Xingche could see it.
Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have known how to explain it.
【*Ahhh! Did I just touch my baby’s hand? So soft, so soft, I want to give it a kiss.*】
【*But why did Little Snail take the note back? (Puppy confusion)*】
【*Could it be that she wrote a confession to Bro on it, and then got shy?*】
Yun Xiang: …
The girl bit her lower lip, a faint blush creeping onto her face.
Shy my foot.
She gripped her pen and took another sticky note, writing:
“Can you please pay attention in class?”
This time, Pei Xingche managed to see the words clearly.
Except…
【*What does this mean?*】
【*Did Bro accidentally hum the song out loud just now? That doesn’t make sense; I’m clearly paying attention to the lesson, no problem there.*】
【*But my good little wifey cares so much about me. She even told me to pay attention in class, hehe~*】
Pei Xingche tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth that wanted to fly toward the sky. With great restraint, he wrote a question mark on the note and stuck it back on Yun Xiang’s desk.
Yun Xiang felt miserable.
She couldn’t be direct, and Pei Xingche didn’t understand her hints.
After all, no one would ever believe that she could hear his inner voice.
【*Why does Wifey look so weary of life?*】
【*Did she really notice I wasn’t paying attention? Did Bro shake his leg just now? I shouldn’t have.*】
“Now, let’s look at the last multiple-choice question on this test paper.”
The physics teacher’s voice and Pei Xingche’s inner voice intertwined in Yun Xiang’s ears, each occupying half of her brain, making it impossible for her to concentrate.
At this moment, Yun Xiang began to regret it again.
If every class was going to be like this, she really wasn’t sure if being Pei Xingche’s desk-mate was a wise choice.
As her gaze passed over Little Ala on Pei Xingche’s head, Yun Xiang suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
She lowered her head and wrote on a note: “I can’t see the blackboard very well. Can you listen to this problem carefully and explain it to me after class?”
Pei Xingche’s eyes lit up.
【*Of course! It would be my honor to serve Wifey. (Puppy pride)*】
【*Oh my, Little Snail is so silly, she doesn’t even know how to do such a simple problem.*】
【*Tsk, what would she do without Bro?*】
Yun Xiang: …
The boy’s mental activity was extremely rich, but on the surface, he only gave a very reserved nod. With practiced movements, he folded the note and tucked it into his desk.
【*Received another love note from Wifey. Oh my, don’t be too obsessed with Bro~*】
【*These are all proofs of Wifey’s love for me~*】
Yun Xiang gripped her pen.
Sometimes she really wanted to crack open Pei Xingche’s head to see if there was an automatic brain-supplementing machine inside.
Just as Yun Xiang thought she could finally focus on the lesson, she looked up and happened to meet the physics teacher’s gaze.
The teacher’s expression was somewhat stern. He looked at Yun Xiang and said, “Yun Xiang, you tell me. Under this period, where will the particle be ejected from?”
Oh no.
Yun Xiang had been busy writing notes and hadn’t been listening at all.
Her face flushed slightly, and she stood up with a stiff body, her long, curled eyelashes trembling incessantly.
Meanwhile, a certain person next to her seemed even more anxious than she was:
【*What do I do? Wifey wasn’t listening just now. What if she can’t answer? (Pacing anxiously)*】
【*It’s all my fault for being too handsome, making Wifey get distracted in class, boohoo.*】
Yun Xiang took a deep breath. Just as she was about to honestly tell the teacher “I don’t know,” she heard a clear and distinct voice:
【*Ejected from between A and B, ejected from between A and B, ejected from between A and B.*】
Subconsciously, Yun Xiang blurted out that answer.
Both the teacher and Pei Xingche were stunned.
The physics teacher’s expression softened a little. In fact, he had long noticed the little interactions between Yun Xiang and Pei Xingche.
He didn’t care much about Pei Xingche; the boy was exceptionally bright and hardly needed his guidance.
But Yun Xiang…
As his class representative, he had always been more lenient with Yun Xiang and was more familiar with her situation.
Since she answered the question, it meant she was still paying attention and hadn’t been distracted.
The physics teacher waved his hand and let Yun Xiang sit down.
Yun Xiang let out a quiet sigh of relief and sat up straight. Her eyes were wide, staring at the blackboard without blinking, trying her best to completely block out her desk-mate’s inner voice.
She never dared to slack off in class again.
It was all Pei Xingche’s fault.
Fortunately, the person in question seemed to realize he was being “noisy” and restrained himself a lot more.
