My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn't Need Any Comforting Chapter 41

Chapter 41

“You might as well just ask me to take you as my wife!” Qiao Shao said unhappily.

What kind of statements were these?

He even included ‘to live together until the white hairs of old age’? What’s next? Is he going to say ‘to give birth to a son soon’!

He Shen said shamelessly, “Okay.”

Qiao Shao looked at him like he’d lost his mind. “As if!”

“Then …” He Shen compromised, “You could marry me.”

What a great solution!

Qiao Shao put a finger to his forehead and said, “Wake up, brother, the sun’s still out!”

He Shen yawned. “Good night.”

Qiao Shao watched helplessly as he closed his eyes. If it had been before, if he saw him sleeping during the day, he could have admonished him and made him listen in cla.s.s.

But now……

Whether he sleeps or not, he’s still first. What right does last place have to go running his mouth?

The last cla.s.s in the afternoon was English. Because they were reading a new text, there were a lot of new words. For the last ten minutes of cla.s.s, the teacher allowed the students to memorize the new vocabulary by reciting them out loud.

Maybe it was because the cla.s.s was too noisy or maybe he had gotten enough sleep already, but He Shen woke up.

Qiao Shao was in a rare state of idleness. He looked at the other from out the corner of his eye. “Which musician do you like?”

The English text was music related, Qiao Shao asked it casually to have a little fun.

He Shen was still asleep, his voice was low and hoa.r.s.e. “Ludwig van Beethoven.”

Qiao Shao wasn’t surprised.

After all, who didn’t like Beethoven?

However, he noticed that He Shen’s p.r.o.nunciation wasn’t correct. He wanted to correct him but then he suddenly realized …

When said in German, the name really sounded a lot different from the English p.r.o.nunciation.

Does He Shen speak German?

He used to spend a lot of time with his granddad in Europe. Although he wasn’t as proficient in French and German as he was in English, he still knew quite a bit. But He Shen …

Ah, forget it! Is there anything this anomalous being couldn’t do!

Just when Qiao Shao thought to continue their conversation about Beethoven, the English teacher, unexpectedly, walked straight towards them.

Qiao Shao straightened his back immediately, and began to attentively recite the new vocabulary.

The English teacher came to look for He Shen.

The cla.s.s recited loudly, and she spoke softly. Probably no one except He Shen and Qiao Shao could hear her.

Qiao Shao kept his eyes fixed on his English textbook but his ears were p.r.i.c.ked up.

He heard the English teacher whisper, “Was there something the matter during the last monthly exam?”

He Shen kept his listless demeanor even when dealing with their teacher. “No, there wasn’t.”

The English teacher wasn’t the least bit angry and she asked more carefully, “Why did you skip so many questions? You lost a full twenty points.”

Hearing this, Qiao Shao then understood!

For this monthly exam, He Shen lost the most points from the English exam where he only scored 130…

Ah, thinking of this, Qiao Shao felt the cruelty of the matter! How is 130 is points ‘only’ 130 points! If ordinary students were able to score 130 points, they would wake up with a smile on their face!

But He Shen was obviously not on the same level as ordinary students.

Look at the English teacher. He had lost twenty points and it obviously hit her hard.

They were winding up the conversation and Qiao Shao heard the English teacher say, “If you have any suggestions for your teacher, then tell me, okay?”

Qiao Shao: “…”

He really felt bad for their English teacher. This kind of tone, it was simply like she was trembling with fear! Qiao Shao was starting to suspect that the Head English teacher had taken their English teacher aside for a scolding when he Shen scored a 130…

It wasn’t easy! It truly wasn’t easy!

He Shen gave Qiao Shao a careless glance and rea.s.sured their teacher. “It’s nothing. Please rest a.s.sured, I will perform better next time.”

The “overcautious” English teacher gave a big sigh of relief and said, “If you have any problems, you must tell teacher, and teacher will do everything to help you.”

He Shen smiled.

The English teacher then continued to walk around the cla.s.sroom to see if there were students trying to fish in troubled waters.

Qiao Shao looked at He Shen.

He Shen: “Hm?”

Qiao Shao propped up his book and leaned over to ask him, “What happened with your English exam?” He hadn’t seen He Shen’s test paper, so he didn’t know how he lost points.

He Shen’s gaze simply s.h.i.+fted to his eyelashes.

Qiao Shao urged him, “Hey, I’m asking you.”

He Shen coughed lightly, and s.h.i.+fted a little away from him. “Sleepy.”

Qiao Shao blinked. “What?”

He Shen looked away and stared at the book. He said, “The questions were too simple, and I fell asleep before I could finish.” And so I lost twenty points.

Qiao Shao: “………………”

He was a f*cking idiot for even asking!

Qiao Shao pulled back the book, sat ramrod straight and completely ignored him.

After a while, He Shen unexpectedly started to talk. “Want to hear the truth?”

Qiao Shao turned sideways. “So, just now, you were lying?”

“A bit.” He Shen paused and said, “Of course you might treat what I’m going to say as me trying to coax you.”

Because it was too noisy, Qiao Shao didn’t hear the difference between “lie” and “coax”.

He asked curiously, “Alright, so just what exactly happened?”

He Shen said, “I deliberately left the twenty-point questions blank.”

Qiao Shao asked, “Why?”

He Shen sighed lightly. “I thought a certain someone could get more than 130 in English.”

Qiao Shao was stupefied.

He Shen looked at him. “I’ve seen your usual English practice sheets. Your accuracy rate is very high.”

Qiao Shao understood. This certain someone was referring to himself!

“Ah …” Qiao Shao said, “But I was a bit nervous and didn’t perform well.”

From 130 to 70, it seemed like he was more than just ‘a bit nervous’.

He Shen didn’t expose him. He only said, “I miscalculated.”

Qiao Shao asked him again, “However, even if I got more than 130, my scores on the other subjects are still so bad.”

He still wouldn’t be able to beat He Shen.

He Shen said sadly, “At least, it would have given you a little comfort.”

Qiao Shao: “………………”

His hands felt itchy– itching to hit him, that is! He didn’t feel grateful to him at all.

He Shen had been telling the truth but it was a half-truth.

He deliberately lost so many points in English because he really wanted to lose to Qiao Shao. As long as Qiao Shao performed normally and exceeded his score, he could say that Qiao Shao won.

After all, the terms of their bet was “a higher score”. –They never said that it had to be the overall score.

If Qiao Shao got a higher score than him in English, it could also count as a win. He beat Qiao Shao on the other subjects, so that was also counted as a win. So in the end, they both would win. Then Qiao Shao would agree to one request, and he would treat Qiao Shao to lunch for a month. It would hit two birds with one stone. Perfect.

It was a pity that the little fool had been too “nervous”.

Qiao Shao must never know of this and He Shen also didn’t dare let him now.

Early in the morning on Friday, the cla.s.s leader jumped onto the podium and said, “Cla.s.smates! The new school uniform is here!”

The drowsy students had a little energy after breakfast were slightly energized.

“Come on, give me my judgement.” This was the student who said that he would bravely jump out the window if the uniform was all red.

“What are you excited about, cla.s.s prez? Changing our school uniform is just like changing your wife from Dong s.h.i.+ to Zhong Wuyan.” There was no way to tell who was more “beautiful”.

Someone though was being quite optimistic, “What if it’s a summer skin Zhong Wuyan?” There was a character named Zhong Wuyan in a certain game. When wearing a summer bikini, she was a s.e.xy royal sister, so beautiful!

“Wake up, buddy,” said one male student, “the sun’s already s.h.i.+ning on your a.s.s!”

Comrade Song Yixu in the front seat of Qiao Shao was completely uninterested. He even continued to say confidently, “I, Song Yixu, declare that if the girl’s uniform is a skirt, then I’m …

Seven or eight boys followed in unison, “p.o.o.phead Song!”

Song Yixu gave a “tut”, completely undaunted.

The cla.s.s president gave a little evil grin, “I need a few people to come with me to get the school uniforms.”

Jie Kai called Song Yixu, “Lao Song, let’s go.”

But the cla.s.s leader said, “No, we’ve got enough people. Song Yixu doesn’t need to come.”

Song Yixu was also too lazy to move.

Qiao Shao, who was very happily doing the exercise questions. He looked at his front seat neighbor.

He had a feeling that Song tongxue was about to suffer a disaster……

In fact, the change of school uniforms was quite baffling. Why would any school suddenly think of changing the uniform mid-year?

Qiao Shao had a suspicion that his aesthetically demanding granddad had something to do with it…

After all, when he had told him he’d be attending East High his granddad’s first objection was: “No, their school uniform is too ugly.”

Qiao Shao silently prayed for Song Yixu: I hope you won’t need to eat your words.

More than ten minutes later, a group of boys ran back cheerfully chanting, “p.o.o.phead Song! p.o.o.phead Song! ~”

Their cry quickly circulated throughout the school building.

Song Yixu’s heart gave a jump. “F*ck!”

Jie Kai deserved to be his good buddy. He immediately unfolded a girl’s school uniform and announced in a loud voice, “A skirt! A skirt! It’s really a skirt!”

The cla.s.s exploded, and the girls were wide-eyed and said, “It-it looks so good!”

The cla.s.s president maintained order: “Settle down! One by one, check if it’s the right size. Once you get yours, sign your name.”

Those who received their school uniforms were surprised. “Awesome! Three sets of school uniforms for each season?”

“This little vest is so handsome!”

“And a tie? Laozi won’t wear it!”

“Oh my, the material is so nice.”

In the midst of the clamor, there were those who couldn’t bring themselves to smile.

Such as Chen Su and Qiao Shao.

When Chen Su saw this school uniform, the first thing that came to his mind was how much money it would cost. It was obvious that this wasn’t cheap!

Qiao Shao had his face in his hands. No doubt about it. This was 100% his granddad’s handiwork. His granddad probably thought he might as well redesign the school’s entire look!

The cla.s.s was filled with joy, and everyone was thoroughly satisfied with the new uniform.

How can they not be happy?

They were so used to these school uniforms that were so baggy they could even fit a suitcase inside that when they saw this trim Western-style s.h.i.+rt and charming plaid skirt, the contrast was simply too great!

This school uniform really did have a bit of red, but it was completely different from the all-red sportswear. Red embellishments on the cuffs of the suit only added to its elegance; so stylis.h.!.+

The petrified Song Yixu, ah no, the petrified p.o.o.phead Song cried out indignantly: “I don’t believe it, I don’t believe. That can’t be a skirt. Our female high school students will never wear skirts in this lifetime!”

He s.n.a.t.c.hed the school uniform from Yu Yuanxi and said, “Show it to me!”

Yu Yuanxi was familiar with him and didn’t get angry. She only scolded him, “Careful! I’ll kill you if you tear it.”

Song Yixu take a closer look, and his heart turned to ashes–

It’s really was a skirt. Does he not only have to change his name, but also eat s.h.i.+t?

At this time, a girl saved him from his half-dead state. “That’s so sweet. It’s a pantskirt!”

A lot of the girls had unpacked their uniforms.

“It’s true, there are shorts under the skirt!”

“No wonder it’s knee-length.”

“The shorts are of good quality, not too tight nor too baggy.”

Song Yixu came to life. “F*ck! I knew that our high school girls would never be given skirts!”

Yu Yuanxi said irritably, “A pantskirt is also a skirt.”

Jie Kai laughed. “This is half a skirt, Song Yixu. So, tell you what, you don’t have do a live broadcast of you eating s.h.i.+t, but your name has to be changed and because it’s only half right, you’ll be called … p.o.o.p-faced instead of p.o.o.phead.”

Song Yixu: “……………………”

That sounded even worse than p.o.o.phead! !! !!

The whole cla.s.s was being noisy but Qiao Shao really couldn’t bring himself to laugh. He just hoped that his granddad would be cautious and wouldn’t sell him out like his dad did.

He Shen noticed his look and said, “Relax, it shouldn’t be too expensive.”

Schools couldn’t just ignore the financial situation of ordinary families. If school uniforms were too expensive, parents would protest.

Qiao Shao continued to sigh.

He Shen touched his head and said, “If you don’t like it, I can go with you to return the school uniform.”

Qiao Shao turned to look at him: “Thanks …”

Return the uniform? If he did Granddad really would force him to quit school!

Old Tang soon entered the cla.s.sroom in a beaming mood. “Looks like the students are very happy!”

Most of the students were happy and they cheered, “Yeah!”

Tang Yu motioned for this pack of hungry wolves to settle down. He said, “Now, you’ll follow the school rules and wear your school uniforms properly, right?”

The students shouted in unison. “We’ll even wear it on holiday!”

Tang Yu laughed. “You don’t need to do that. Please take good care of your school uniform and keep it for when you go to school.”

After a few words with the students, Old Tang moved on to business. “There’s no need to be nervous. The change of school uniform was mainly because we received a donation from a designer well-known both here and abroad.”

Qiao Shao: “!”

His heart leapt to his throat.

The students were also stunned: “Ah?”

Old Tang continued: “the designer donated it anonymously. He just wanted to improve the appearance of the students and improve their aesthetic taste …”

Hearing the word ‘anonymous’, Qiao Shao’s heart fell back into his chest.

The students whispered, “That’s amazing!” They’ve had donations before, but there had never been a donation before that fit so perfectly with the students’ wishes!

Old Tang continued, “I heard that it is not just our East High but that all the high schools in our city have received donations. For three consecutive years, three sets per year. So you guys were really lucky this time!”

The cla.s.s exploded.

Qiao Shao: “…”

There’s no doubt about it. It’s his granddad…

He was a freshman this year, a three year donation would be just until his graduation.

His granddad’s beauty obsession was beyond cure.

But his granddad handled matters way better than his dad did. At least no one even suspected he had anything to do with this.

Qiao Shao was relieved. His sigh of relief can also be understood as relief at not having to spend any money.

School uniforms were issued in the morning, and they needed to change into their new uniforms in the afternoon.

Qiao Shao was accustomed to this school uniform and dressed very neatly.

All the way to the cla.s.sroom, the students were all complimenting each other.

“F*ck, looking handsome!”

“My G.o.d! So high cla.s.s!”

“Hey, so stylis.h.!.+”

The sound of mutual boasting was endless. As soon as Qiao Shao entered the school building, he saw a large group of people blocking the way.

Being short was no fun. He couldn’t see what was going on.

Chen Su could see it though. “It looks like He Shen and Lou Xiao.”

Qiao Shao was nervous. “What are they doing?”

Even though He Shen was a G.o.d of learning, he still hadn’t rid himself of the “delinquent” label.

Chen Su paused. “It doesn’t seem like they’re doing anything …”

Qiao Shao then heard the school tyrant say, “Get out of the way.”

The crowd no longer crowded together, and Qiao Shao could now see the two.

He instantly understood what was going on.

These two people … Were too handsome in this school uniform!

With heights of over one meter eighty-five and model-like figures, even when they were normally dressed in shapeless clothes, they fascinated all the girls. Now, with this fine-quality s.h.i.+rt and western-style trousers matching beautifully with their grace and features, they were now so handsome that people were just gob smacked!

Especially since the style of the two were so different.

One was a languid learning G.o.d, who appeared to have no fighting spirit but scored full marks like it was nothing. While the other was an antisocial school tyrant, who considered everyone as beneath him and used his combat strength to bring the school to its knees.

Ok……

He was a little envious. Qiao Shao really envied tall people.

The listless learning G.o.d immediately saw Qiao Shao. The corner of his eyes rose slight and he headed straight for him.

Qiao Shao was very unwilling in his heart. He was all leg! Why were those legs so long! !! !!

He Shen approached him and looked down, “You tied that very well.”

Qiao Shao looked up at him.

He Shen’s necktie was loose and the collar was slightly open. He dressed a bit carelessly but it gave him an unexpectedly roguish charm.

Qiao Shao said quietly, “Teacher Tang said to tie your necktie well.”

He Shen said, “I couldn’t do it.”

Qiao Shao: “…”

He Shen’s lips hooked up. “Help me tie it.”

The author has something to say: Hehehehe ~

Handsome or not handsome? Sweet or not sweet?

Let me give you a bit of rea.s.surance, Qiao Shao will grow taller. The so-called bad ending in the last chapter was that Qiao Shao would have to transfer schools after his ident.i.ty has been exposed, and then it would be difficult for him to maintain relations with these people.
