The boy's name was Qian Sheng, and he was Zhang Peng's closest confidant in class, besides Qin Tian.
"Holy crap, Zhang Peng, you scumbag."
Qian Sheng yelled angrily after being stunned for a moment.
"If you're a brother, you carry it with me!"
Zhang Peng grinned.
Qin Tian was also a friend to him, but not as close as Zhang Peng.
"Carry my ass, I'm breaking up with you!"
Qian Sheng shouted.
"Hahaha..."
Laughter erupted from the whole class again.
Qin Tian ignored the two scoundrels and returned to his seat.
As soon as he sat down, a can of Want Want milk was carefully pushed towards him, its smiling face pattern directly facing him.
Qin Tian tilted his head to look at Xia Nuannuan, and asked with a playful smile, "A gift for an apology?"
Xia Nuannuan obediently pecked her little head.
"Too perfunctory."
Qin Tian picked up the milk and opened the tab with a click.
Xia Nuannuan blinked her big eyes, looking at him questioningly.
"Take a sip, then give it to me."
Qin Tian placed the opened milk back in front of her.
"Ah?"
Xia Nuannuan exclaimed, her cute face blushing at a visible speed.
The classmates who saw this scene instantly couldn't stand it.
"Can't take it anymore, let's go get breakfast!"
"Let's go together, we can't stay in this classroom anymore."
"It's intentional, Qin Tian is definitely doing this on purpose, he's getting revenge for what happened earlier."
"This is sinful, if you want revenge, go find Zhang Peng and Qian Sheng, why hurt us?"
"Good heavens, Qin Tian is too good at this!"
"Who can handle this? Doesn't it feel like watching an idol drama?"
"I feel the same, ahhh... what's the point of eating breakfast, I'm already full."
"..."
Everyone was shown off, feeling incredibly sour.
Some people simply lay down to sleep, to avoid seeing what would cause them pain, while many others quickly left the classroom.
"I, I..."
Hearing the discussions around her, Xia Nuannuan's pretty face turned as red as a ripe apple in late autumn, and she stammered, not knowing what to say.
"Alright, I was just joking with you. You drink it yourself. The pillow earlier was also your good intentions, I'm not angry, what kind of apology gift do I need?"
Qin Tian said with a smile.
"Then, that's good."
Xia Nuannuan nodded with a red face, cupped the can of milk in her hands, and took a small sip to calm her nerves.
She could feel her heart beating very fast, her face burning hot, and while she felt ashamed, there was also a trace of loss she was unwilling to admit.
"However, I didn't expect you to sell me out so quickly."
Qin Tian propped his chin with one hand, looking at her with a slightly resentful gaze.
Xia Nuannuan smiled apologetically at him.
"I really didn't realize before that you're such a clever little thing!"
Qin Tian said with a smile, full of interest.
Xia Nuannuan's pretty face turned even redder, she didn't dare to turn her head to look at him at all.
In fact, she could feel that her personality had changed a lot recently.
Especially in front of Qin Tian, she would inadvertently show the playful and lively personality she usually only displayed with her parents.
"This is quite good, really."
Qin Tian commented out of the blue.
"Mmm!"
Xia Nuannuan responded in a voice as faint as a mosquito's hum. Like a squirrel eating chestnuts, she cupped the milk can in her hands and drank another sip.
So sweet!!!
...
...
In the days after the second mock exam, during every break, many girls would gather in the hallway outside the classroom, their gazes passing through the window to search for Qin Tian's figure.
Some were just passing by, while others came specifically to see what the "score-controlling prodigy" who had made a name for himself looked like.
As rumors spread that Qin Tian was "handsome and had a good personality," the number of girls visiting increased daily.
Not only were there girls from the third year, but also from the first and second years, and even junior high school girls.
Therefore, every time a girl appeared outside the window, Xia Nuannuan's vigilant gaze would immediately dart over, a tuft of hair on her head seemingly standing up like a targeting radar.
After two physics classes in the morning, three more girls appeared together at the window in the hallway.
Xia Nuannuan looked up at the three girls, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Girls' intuition in this regard was very keen, and these three gave her a lot of pressure.
Especially the girl in the middle with her hair tied in a ponytail, she had a delicate and beautiful oval face, a slender figure, and looked very elegant.
"Look, look, isn't that Su Yan from Class One? Why is she here?"
"Where, where? Holy crap, it really is."
"Could she be here for Qin Tian too?"
"Ahhh... I'm so angry, why do all the good things happen to him?"
"Alas, who can blame him? He's good at studying and handsome too!"
"The number of girls coming over these days is increasing."
"It's unavoidable, I don't know who spread it, but all the good things about Qin Tian are being said outside."
"..."
Hearing the surrounding discussions, Xia Nuannuan became even more vigilant.
Su Yan from Class Three, Class One, even though she had few friends in the school before, she had heard of her.
Not only was she beautiful, but her academic performance had consistently ranked in the top five in the school, and it was rumored that she was also very good at playing the piano.
Su Yan, who was both talented and beautiful, with an elegant demeanor, was regarded as the campus belle of Fourth High School by many boys.
Xia Nuannuan glanced sideways at Qin Tian next to her, and seeing him still engrossed in reading a foreign classic, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
So what if she's a campus belle? She knew Qin Tian wasn't that superficial a guy.
Outside the hallway, Su Yan, who had been dragged over by her two girlfriends, was also feeling speechless.
She was indeed a little curious about Qin Tian, who had become famous in the school after this exam.
However, she had been surrounded by many outstanding boys since she was young, and she wouldn't go so far as to specifically look for someone outside another person's classroom.
Originally, her two best friends said they were going to the campus supermarket to buy something, but when they reached this floor, they directly pulled her over from both sides.
"Let's go, this is so embarrassing!"
Su Yan persuaded them with a wry smile.
"Don't, since we're here, we should at least see him!"
"Exactly, you performed so exceptionally this time, you were originally the number one in the grade, and now such a dark horse has appeared and snatched your first place, aren't you even a little curious?"
The two best friends spoke one after another.
"Curious, but I really don't want to stand here. I'm leaving, don't drag me along."
Su Yan said, and made as if to turn and leave.
However, how could the two girls let her go? They quickly grabbed her arms.
"Don't go! If you leave, how can we have the nerve?"
"With you, the campus belle, here, it's more likely they'll come out to see us!"
"How did I end up with friends like you two."
Su Yan looked heartbroken.
"Resign yourself to fate!"
The two girls smiled and said in unison.
"Classmate, can you tell me who Qin Tian from your class is, and ask him to come out?"
One of the girls poked her head out and asked the girl sitting inside the window with a smile.
This girl was none other than Qiu Man, who was sitting in front of Xia Nuannuan.
"Sorry, I can't!"
Qiu Man shook her head and refused without hesitation.
"Ah? Why?"
"Because he's already taken."
