Once Lin Yu was sure that Tang Manting hadn't been bullied, he relaxed. Seeing the somewhat complicated expression on Gu Yue's face beside him, Lin Yu casually asked, "How did you do on the test?"
"Wait a moment, let me check." Gu Yue responded, then started to rummage through her backpack.
After searching for a while, she lifted her head, blinked at Lin Yu, and said, "I think I threw away my report card."
"So, what's your general ranking?"
"You can't possibly not remember that, can you?" Lin Yu asked incredulously.
Gu Yue rolled her shiny eyes, thinking for a moment before saying, "Around eight or nine hundred. I remember it was close to four digits."
"Oh." Lin Yu nodded. He had just asked casually and didn't say anything more.
"Brother Long, how about you? How did you do?" Just like the phrases 'How are you', 'I'm fine', 'Thank you', and 'and you' always appear together in middle school English readings, after Lin Yu asked Gu Yue about her grades, Gu Yue naturally asked back.
"Two hundred and seventy." Lin Yu said casually.
Gu Yue looked at Lin Yu, hesitated for a moment, then cautiously ventured, "Class rank two hundred and seventy?"
"Get lost! Which class has 270 people?" Lin Yu glared at her and said irritably.
"Then you just missed a '1'." Gu Yue said. This time her tone was more certain.
Lin Yu turned to look at her and asked, "Are there 1270 people in our senior high school?"
"There should be, right? Otherwise, could you really rank two hundred and seventy?" Gu Yue laughed as if she understood Lin Yu better than he understood himself.
Lin Yu looked at Gu Yue speechlessly. He was too lazy to argue with her anymore. He directly pulled out the thin report card from his shoulder bag, waved it in front of Gu Yue, and said, "Open your blind eyes and see clearly. Am I ranked 1270 or 270?"
Gu Yue didn't look at the report card, but blinked at Lin Yu as if asking, 'Is it necessary to look at this?'
Lin Yu directly pressed the thin report card on her face and said coldly, "Look!"
Gu Yue took the report card off her face and glanced at it. When she saw the name Lin Yu ranked first, she frowned, subconsciously turned the report card upside down.
When she realized that the words on the report card also turned upside down with the paper, she frowned deeper.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
After turning the report card right side up again, Gu Yue looked at the name Lin Yu, ranked first on the report card, then looked up at Lin Yu beside her and asked, "Is there another person named Lin Yu in your class?"
Without any further words, Lin Yu slapped her smooth forehead and said with a smile that was devoid of warmth, "Why don't you check again? See if there's a second Lin Yu on the report card."
Seeing that Gu Yue was seriously looking for another Lin Yu on the report card, Lin Yu rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Why didn't he notice before that this little thing was so annoying?
Finally, after a meticulous review of the report card several times, even turning it over to check the blank back, Gu Yue finally accepted that the Lin Yu who ranked first in the whole class was the Lin Yu in front of her.
She looked up at Lin Yu, then down at the report card, then up at Lin Yu again. Her shiny black eyes were filled with shock and grievance as she said, "No way. Brother Long, you're really studying!"
"Rubbish!" Lin Yu snatched the report card from Gu Yue's hand and put it back into his shoulder bag. "If you don't study at school, what do you want to do?"
"Then, then, then don't you have a chance to go to university with these grades?" "I was thinking of going to the same college as you, or hanging out with you after the college entrance examination." Gu Yue said grievously.
"College?" "Is your total score over 150?" Lin Yu turned his head and asked.
"Um, isn't it enough to get to 100?" Gu Yue hesitated for a moment and cautiously asked back.
"Heh." Lin Yu smirked and said coldly, "Then you should think about other ways out." "I'm going to college, and I won't play with you anymore."
"Don't, Brother Long!" "Without you, I'll be bullied terribly!" Gu Yue grabbed Lin Yu's hand with both hands and looked up at him pitifully, "Brother Long, you're so good at studying, can you teach me?"
"No." Lin Yu refused without thinking. He was barely managing his own scores, how could he have time to teach others? "You should find someone else to teach you." Lin Yu shook off Gu Yue's hand and strode forward.
After walking a few steps, Lin Yu suddenly remembered something. He turned his head to look at the pitiful Gu Yue standing in place and curiously asked, "Where do you live?"
"Just, just nearby." "What's up?" Gu Yue's face of grievance instantly showed a trace of panic, she stuttered.
"The exact location." Lin Yu continued to press, not giving her a chance to dodge the question.
"Just..." "Just at the Qianhe Community up ahead!" After hesitating for a long time, Gu Yue suddenly pointed to the Qianhe Community not far ahead.
Lin Yu followed the direction of her finger and confirmed that it was on his way home, so he nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"Is there anything wrong with suddenly asking this?" Seeing that Lin Yu didn't continue to ask, Gu Yue breathed a small sigh of relief, and asked as she jogged up to Lin Yu.
"No, nothing really." Lin Yu answered, "I just found it a bit strange. I don't seem to have ever met you when I was going to school before."
"But in the past month or so, I've run into you almost every day on my way to and from school. It seems a bit unreasonable." Lin Yu said, his scrutinizing gaze once again landing on Gu Yue.
"That's because I moved." Gu Yue looked into Lin Yu's eyes, her voice full of sincerity.
"That makes sense." Lin Yu nodded his head in sudden realization.
The two of them walked together for a while, Gu Yue's face full of disappointment. Finally, just as they were about to part ways, she still couldn't help but ask, "Brother Long, you really can't teach me? I also want to get into a better university."
"It's not that I don't want to teach you, it's just that I'm also a bottom student." Lin Yu explained helplessly, "Moreover, I'm very busy now and don't have time to teach you."
"You should find someone who has time and is more reliable to teach you. Don't count on me." Lin Yu patted Gu Yue's shoulder, then strode towards the Moonlight Community where Xia Muzhu was.
Gu Yue watched Lin Yu's retreating figure, opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She just deflated like a doll that was losing air.
