Chapter 21 Zhao Liwen's Pestering

The next morning.

Qin Siyang leisurely set foot on the way to school.

In the past, Qin Siyang always arrived at the class relatively early. Because after he got home from school and had dinner, he would almost always take a shower and go to bed. He had no nightlife at all and was used to going to bed early and getting up early.

In contrast, Li Jingwen usually arrived at the classroom just in time.

But when he came to the classroom today, Li Jingwen was already there. And as soon as she saw Qin Siyang's figure, Li Jingwen was obviously a little flustered.

Qin Siyang smiled faintly, knowing that Li Jingwen was clearly feeling guilty.

Li Jingwen stood up as if she wanted to ask Qin Siyang something, but she didn't seem to know how to ask. After hesitating for a moment, she sat back down.

Qin Siyang walked back and forth beside her as if nothing had happened, maintaining the indifference of the past few days and not having any communication with her.

Her uncle, Kun Chenglong, didn't come home last night, which made the family a little worried.

Thinking that Qin Siyang and Wen Shu were just two ordinary students and not a threat, they thought that Kun Chenglong might just have gone to deal with the follow-up matters, so he didn't come home.

But today, Li Jingwen saw Qin Siyang at school.

This meant that her uncle had failed. Or rather, her uncle hadn't even tried to kill Qin Siyang at all and had been caught up in other troubles.

Looking at Qin Siyang's still calm face, which didn't seem to show any resentment towards Li Jingwen, Li Jingwen was more inclined to the latter possibility.

She didn't know what her uncle had been busy with from last night until now, but he actually didn't kill Qin Siyang and Wen Shu as agreed.

Li Jingwen clenched her fists: "Kun Chenglong, this fool! He always says how powerful he is and how reliable he is in doing things, but in the end, he can't tell the important from the unimportant. I don't know what he's doing!"

Qin Siyang sat in his seat and casually glanced at Li Jingwen. Seeing that she seemed to be angry, he stopped looking at her.

Before he publicly revealed his identity as a Sequence Ability User, he wouldn't tell anyone that he had met Kun Chenglong.

Let the Li Jingwen's family live in confusion.

They might be feeling irritable and anxious now, wanting to know the result.

When they really know the result, they will miss these days when they were irritable and anxious but without any fear.

Qin Siyang's mouth turned down. He thought he was still too kind to Li Jingwen and should give her a little more mental torture.

However, now he was fully focused on what information he needed to check before publicly revealing his awakening as a Sequence Ability User and was too lazy to waste even a second on Li Jingwen.

At noon and in the afternoon, he continued to go to the library to sort out the books.

Wen Shu was also in the library early, solving the difficult problems in the exercise book.

Qin Siyang walked past Wen Shu with a stack of books in his arms: "Keep your eyes farther away from the book. If you keep your head down like this and get nearsighted, you won't have the money to buy glasses."

"Okay, thank you."

Wen Shu slightly raised her head, keeping her eyes at a relatively healthy distance from the book.

In their daily study life, Wen Shu had always been a gentle and polite classmate, and Qin Siyang could also feel her politeness and courtesy from her demeanor.

Qin Siyang continued to sort out the books, and everything was very quiet.

Teacher Zhu watched the interaction between the two and showed a motherly smile.

"It seems that classmate Qin is still open to advice. These two good kids, it would be a pity if they don't get together."

Teacher Zhu sat in her work position proudly, sipping the hot water in her cup, feeling as if she had accomplished something worth showing off.

After school, Wen Shu stayed in the library until it closed again. The two left the library together and then separated at that intersection once more.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

...

...

[Blue Star Calendar, January 20, 2010]

[Western Calendar, Wednesday.]

[Lunar Calendar, the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month in the year of Ji Chou, it is advisable to meet relatives and friends]

"Meet relatives and friends?"

"I don't have any relatives or friends."

Qin Siyang, who had just gotten up, shook his head as he looked at the calendar, then picked up the bag with the lunch box and went out.

In the classroom, he originally wanted to sit there in a daze as before and then go to the library to work later.

At this moment, a boy walked up to him.

"Are you Qin Siyang?"

Qin Siyang turned around and saw a gentle-looking male classmate. Although his clothes were not luxurious, they were very decent. At first glance, his family background was far superior to Qin Siyang's.

But he had no impression of this person at all.

Although Qin Siyang didn't know him, the female classmates in the class all looked at this person with a hint of interest. Even Li Jingwen, who had been in a bad mood recently because of her uncle's disappearance, also cast a clear look at him.

Needless to say, he should be another influential figure in the school.

But no matter how influential he was, Qin Siyang didn't know him.

Before, he didn't even have an impression of Wen Shu, the female school belle. How could he care about which influential male figure this was?

Qin Siyang frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Zhao Liwen from Class Two."

"Zhao Liwen?"

Qin Siyang frowned. He seemed to have some impression of this name, but not much.

"Sorry, I don't seem to know you."

Immediately, some girls whispered, "He doesn't even know Zhao Liwen, who is second in the grade. I don't know what Qin Siyang has been doing all this time."

"Normal. He just sits in the classroom in a daze and muddles through his days. How could he know these good students?"

"Zhao Liwen, he's not very smart. What do you want from him? We can help convey the message for you!"

Qin Siyang glanced at the girls who were mocking him. They were now posing and competing to attract Zhao Liwen's attention, and he found it quite ridiculous.

He said to those girls, "I may be sitting in a daze and muddling through my days every day, but it seems that my grades are still better than yours, right? If I'm not smart, what are you?"

"Qin Siyang! How can you talk like that!"

"I like to tell the truth."

So he was the perennial second behind Wen Shu. No wonder he had some impression of him.

"You came to see me for something?"

Looking at Zhao Liwen's delicate and scholarly appearance, Qin Siyang felt that he and Zhao Liwen were completely different types of people and didn't understand what he had done to provoke him.

Zhao Liwen said seriously, "Classmate Qin Siyang, this is an important moment for preparing for the college entrance examination. I hope you can focus on your studies."

This statement made Qin Siyang even more confused: "Huh? What do you mean?"

"Literally, I hope you can study hard and not regret it in the future."

Qin Siyang couldn't help but laugh: "You're really funny. Whether I study or not, what does it have to do with you?"

Then he turned his head away again, no longer looking at Zhao Liwen, but gazing at the starry sky and the gods outside the window.

Seeing that Qin Siyang was ignoring Zhao Liwen, several girls started to speak up for him.

"Qin Siyang, even if you're better at studying than me, but classmate Zhao is doing this for your own good. How can you have such an attitude!"

"Exactly! You're simply hopeless! Classmate Zhao, I'm willing to study hard, but there's no one to help me. Can you study with me?"

"I'm also willing to study!"

Qin Siyang turned back to look at those girls: "You girls are trying so hard to please him here, but since he came in, has he even glanced at you? In my opinion, Zhao Liwen doesn't think much of you at all. Save your energy."

"You!"

"What did you say!"

"Those of you who are planning to cling to classmate Zhao and rise to the top once he gets into the college, just give it a rest. Classmate Zhao has high standards and doesn't think much of you common and vulgar girls, unlike some male classmates who don't care about who they associate with."

After saying that, Qin Siyang gave Li Jingwen a meaningful look.

Li Jingwen knew that Qin Siyang was scolding Zhou Yang for being "indiscriminate in his associations", and it was also equivalent to scolding her directly for being of low quality. She gritted her teeth in anger and turned around with a cold snort.

Zhao Liwen also felt that it was a bit noisy and seemed reluctant to stay for a moment longer, so he explained his purpose.

"Qin Siyang, if you don't want to study, please don't disturb others who are studying and preparing for the college entrance examination. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you ruin someone else's chance, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

Qin Siyang squinted his eyes: "I said, Zhao Liwen, are you crazy?"

"Huh?"

"I've been sitting in this corner of the classroom every day. During class, I either sleep or sit in a daze. Who have I disturbed? What, just thinking about me sitting in a daze makes you lose your appetite and unable to focus on doing your problems?"

"If I've really disturbed you, I apologize. But the problem is that I don't even know you!"

Zhao Liwen gritted his teeth and then said, "I'm not saying you're disturbing my studies."

"Not you?" Qin Siyang raised his eyebrows: "If it's not you, then why are you coming to me?"

"I'm here to tell you on behalf of classmate Wen Shu. You've been disturbing her studies in the library recently, and I hope you can stay away from her."

Upon hearing Wen Shu's name, the girls who had been showing off to Zhao Liwen fell silent all of a sudden.

In their hearts, they were all scolding Wen Shu, this classmate who was good at studying, beautiful, and had a good personality. Perhaps because Wen Shu was too perfect and there was nothing for them to criticize, they could only say that Wen Shu was scheming and that everything was just an act.

Qin Siyang sized up Zhao Liwen: "So that's why you don't think much of these girls. You like Wen Shu, don't you? You have good taste!" Then he laughed again: "So you're her boyfriend! It's really not my fault. She never told me she had a boyfriend. Well, Brother Zhao, I apologize to you. I have no intention of stealing your girlfriend. Don't get me wrong. Wen Shu and I are really just ordinary friends, and our relationship is innocent!"

Zhao Liwen was taken aback for a moment: "I'm not her boyfriend, and we're not dating. But after the college entrance examination, we'll go to the same college. At that time, we'll be together."

"Huh?" Qin Siyang was also stunned: "What do you mean? Are you also a love-struck fool?"

"Why did you say 'also'?"

"That's not important... Going to the same college as her?" Qin Siyang pursed his lips: "Friend, it's not that I don't believe you, but you score several dozen points lower than Wen Shu in every exam. How can you go to the same college as her?"

"I know my grades are not as good as hers, but if we apply for the two colleges ranked at the bottom, I'm still quite confident. Coincidentally, the Tian Tong College and Ren Xing College that classmate Wen Shu has her eyes on are the two lowest-ranked among the eight colleges."

Qin Siyang hesitated for a moment in his heart.

What Wen Shu said that day, the college that provides independent accommodation is not the best college, but rather the worst?

Then with Wen Shu's excellent grades, wouldn't she be at a disadvantage?

As his only friend in Ju'an School, Qin Siyang immediately felt sorry for Wen Shu.

He also immediately understood that the reason why Wen Shu compromised was still because of money. Without money, even if she was good at studying, she would be unable to move forward in the safe zone. What's more, she had to take care of her blind grandmother.

"So, I hope you won't disturb classmate Wen Shu's preparation for the exam. Qin Siyang, some things are destined not to be part of your life. I hope you can recognize this reality."

Qin Siyang looked at Zhao Liwen like he was looking at an idiot again: "Well, how about we go and ask Wen Shu later if she's willing to be with you after graduation?"

Zhao Liwen seemed not to have expected Qin Siyang to say this. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Even if she's not willing now, I will move her in the future, and she will definitely accept me."

"Move her and make her accept you?" Qin Siyang pointed at Li Jingwen sitting in front: "You ask that girl how I treated her before. Did I move her?"

Zhao Liwen didn't turn his head: "That's your problem. I have this confidence."

"There's one thing you said that's right."

"What?"

"Some things are destined not to be part of your life. I hope you can recognize this reality."

"You! You're really unreasonable!"

Zhao Liwen found that he was helpless against the unruly Qin Siyang. Angry, he turned around and left the classroom.

Qin Siyang glanced disdainfully at Zhao Liwen's back, and then looked out the window again, lost in thought.

Although Qin Siyang didn't know what kind of guy Wen Shu would like, it was not difficult to see from their conversation that Wen Shu had excellent personal qualities both in terms of her knowledge and her appearance. It shouldn't be difficult for her to find an excellent male partner.

Moreover, they had even killed someone together and buried the body. Wen Shu's performance had far exceeded Qin Siyang's expectations. She was truly someone who could handle both the righteous and the unrighteous paths clearly.

This young master Zhao, who was inexperienced in the ways of the world, was the kind of love-struck fool who wouldn't even get a "dog tag" (a metaphor for being recognized as a suitor). Qin Siyang could tell with his eyes closed that Zhao Liwen would definitely end up like he did when he chased Li Jingwen.

However, Wen Shu wasn't as cruel as Li Jingwen, so his ending should be a bit better.

At most, he would be a stray dog, and he wouldn't be sent to a dog meat restaurant.

Qin Siyang seriously considered Zhao Liwen's words again: "What he said actually makes some sense. With the way he's pestering her, it really might affect Wen Shu's studies."

"Zhao Liwen is right. Wen Shu can't be easily distracted during this crucial exam preparation period."

"Anyway, I'm going to participate in the Sequence Ability Assessment after the college entrance examination, and I need to publicly reveal my awakened sequence as soon as possible to prepare for it. Why not do her a favor at the same time?"

"After announcing my awakened sequence... I'll be able to get rid of this poor and orphaned life I'm living now!"

Just thinking about the scene after announcing his awakened sequence made him eager.

He was about to take off!

"I originally planned to have a good rest during the five days of school and then go to check the information about sequences on the weekend. Forget it. I'll sleep less today and go to Wang Defa's place after school tonight to check the forum."

Qin Siyang sighed: "I'm really a kind person."
