The fact that Shen Xingbai came to school injured last time still affected him.
His original deskmate was a well-behaved girl with a very gentle personality and excellent grades, but that day she took the initiative to find the homeroom teacher and asked to change seats with tears in her eyes.
"Teacher, I...I don't want to sit with Shen Xingbai." The girl's voice was trembling with tears.
The homeroom teacher's face instantly turned cold.
She rejected the request with a stern face, but to her surprise, the girl burst into tears on the spot, repeatedly saying, "I'm afraid he'll hit me."
The homeroom teacher frowned and explained to her that those were all rumors, and that Shen Xingbai was not that kind of person.
But the girl wouldn't listen to anything and insisted on changing seats.
The homeroom teacher was hesitant, fearing it might affect the girl's grades, and finally agreed.
She returned to the classroom and asked the others, "Who wants to sit next to Shen Xingbai?"
In her mind, Shen Xingbai had top grades, so logically many people should be willing to sit with him.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the classroom fell into a deathly silence.
Shen Xingbai's knuckles, which were gripping the pen, immediately began to turn white.
Just as the homeroom teacher was about to take attendance, a clear voice suddenly rang out from the back row: "Teacher, I'm willing!"
Everyone turned to look, and saw Su Ningning suddenly raise her hand, her eyes shining brightly, and she was so excited that she almost jumped out of her seat.
The homeroom teacher was taken aback for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, then Su Ningning and Shen Xingbai can sit together."
Su Ningning was overjoyed. She had thought that many people would want to be deskmates with the top student, but she didn't expect everyone to be so modest. So she decided to accept.
As soon as the bell rang, Su Ningning got busy.
She moved all her things to the empty seat next to Shen Xingbai, quickly tidied the table, and kept smiling with her mouth wide open.
Shen Xingbai looked up and saw her overjoyed expression. The gloom and irritability that had been building up in his chest for days seemed to vanish instantly in the sunlight.
The heavy weight in my heart felt much lighter, and my mood brightened considerably.
For the next month or so, Shen Xingbai's mood remained exceptionally bright.
Because Su Ningning is always cheerful, with an exceptionally bright smile, and she chatters incessantly around him.
Shen Xingbai put in a lot of effort to keep up with her strange thought processes.
He discovered for the first time that going to school could be so colorful and relaxing.
No longer burdened by gossip or strange looks, he can now go to school without any worries.
Especially after sitting together, he realized that Su Ningning was a complete snack addict, with more snacks in her drawer than textbooks.
She also liked to feed him from time to time.
Every time he was about to refuse, before he could even utter a word, she would swiftly stuff snacks into his mouth.
Later, he tried to shake his head to avoid it, and Su Ningning first showed a regretful expression.
Just as Shen Xingbai breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something else, the next second, the snack was firmly stuffed into her mouth again.
In the end, he finally understood completely.
If she wants to feed you snacks, no matter how much you refuse, it's useless.
After being fed like this for more than a month, Shen Xingbai visibly gained weight, appearing rounder than her classmates.
Then the autumn sports meet came quickly, and all the classes were busy registering to participate.
The long-distance running event has always been a problem that no one wants to sign up for, making it a difficult issue for the class.
Su Ningning's academic performance wasn't outstanding, but she was simply a natural talent in sports.
He signed up for almost all the events that no one else had signed up for. He filled up as many events as the rules allowed, single-handedly carrying out most of the class's competition slots.
And in every match she played, she won first place.
On the field, she ran with sweat and radiance, like a little sun, so dazzling that no one could look away.
All around were shouts of "Go Su Ningning!", creating a lively and bright atmosphere.
Standing in the crowd, looking at her radiant presence, Shen Xingbai suddenly felt small and insignificant, as if their worlds were separated by a vast distance.
While others were panting and pale after running 1,500 meters, Su Ningning looked relaxed, as if she had just taken a walk after dinner.
She took the water, turned her head and saw Shen Xingbai in the crowd. Her eyes lit up, and she ran towards him happily, patting him on the shoulder with a "smack".
"Hey deskmate, you actually came all this way to cheer me on? That's great!"
Shen Xingbai stood there, and when she suddenly slapped him, his body trembled slightly, and the coldness in his eyes shattered instantly.
He said softly, "I'm not just a bookworm; I also know how to relax when it's time to relax."
Su Ningning smiled and nodded: "Not bad, not bad, that's a good level of awareness."
But in the third year of junior high school, something still happened.
Zhang Yuchuan caught them secretly taking extra classes after school every day.
He felt a pang of sadness, convinced that the two were having an early romance, and immediately wrote a letter of complaint and submitted it to the principal's office.
The principal quickly called the two of them over.
After only a few questions, Su Ningning spoke up frankly:
"Principal, we're not dating! We're having extra classes! Can't you see? I used to be ranked around 590th in the grade, but now I'm up to within the top 400! That's a huge improvement!"
"You have no idea how amazing Shen Xingbai is. His explanations are easier to understand than the tutor my mom hired at a high price!"
And his fees are so cheap, only 500 yuan a month, I've made a killing!
I don't dare tell anyone, because I'm afraid everyone will come to him for tutoring, and then he won't have time to tutor me alone, and my grades will drop again..."
The principal listened to her rambling on and on, silently wiping away sweat, unable to get a word in edgewise.
Then look at Shen Xingbai, who is sitting quietly to the side.
Finally, the principal waved his hand, looking helpless, and told the two to go back first.
When Zhang Yuchuan learned that the two had not only escaped punishment but were also unscathed, he immediately felt resentful.
He was convinced that the principal was deliberately protecting Shen Xingbai because of her good grades, and the more he thought about it, the more resentful he became.
So I made several copies of the whistleblower letter and sent them directly to the email addresses of the vice principal and several other leaders.
Before long, several leaders came to the principal to verify the situation.
Left with no other option, the principal had to reveal the truth:
"Actually, it was Shen Xingbai tutoring Su Ningning for a fee."
You know Su Ningning, her grades have always been terrible. She's made some rare progress recently, all thanks to Shen Xingbai's tutoring.
She was especially afraid that others would find out and try to steal her away as the "top teacher," so she always kept it secret.
After hearing this, everyone looked like they understood and accepted the answer.
The principal frowned and gave the order:
"We still need to talk to the person who wrote the whistleblower letter."
Judging from the current situation, he's unlikely to stop until he's sent the letter to every teacher; we need to tell him to stop.
So, the principal and several leaders went to find Zhang Yuchuan.
Zhang Yuchuan understood the purpose of the visit, but remained outwardly calm, merely nodding slightly and repeatedly agreeing.
"Understood, I'll be careful," he said, then turned and left angrily.
He didn't believe it at all.
How could a boy and a girl, who are alone together, be having one-on-one tutoring for an hour every day after school just for lessons?
He always felt that this was just an excuse they made to protect Shen Xingbai.
Zhang Yuchuan finally couldn't resist and stopped Shen Xingbai in the hallway after school.
He secretly turned on the voice recorder in his pocket and spoke:
"I know about you and Su Ningning. You're actually dating too early."
Shen Xingbai's expression, which had been calm, instantly furrowed upon hearing this, and his tone turned cold:
"What nonsense are you spouting? Don't spread rumors."
"I'm spreading rumors?" Zhang Yuchuan's face flushed red, and his voice involuntarily rose.
"You guys stay in the classroom alone after school every day, for an hour at a time. Do you really think no one can see you?"
Don't use tutoring as an excuse, nobody believes that. You're clearly dating!
Just as he finished speaking, several classmates happened to pass by and clearly heard the conversation. They all covered their mouths, their eyes filled with surprise, and began to whisper among themselves:
"Oh my god, Shen Xingbai and Su Ningning are dating?"
"Really? How did they end up together?"
Shen Xingbai's face instantly darkened.
I had already explained this to my supervisor; it was just a simple tutoring session. But once my classmates saw it and it got out, the rumors only got more and more outrageous.
Su Ningning is simple and cheerful, and has never had any negative comments. If she were to be associated with someone as controversial as herself in a dating scandal, it would only attract more strange looks and cause her unnecessary grievances.
He immediately stepped forward and coldly clarified to the onlookers:
"That's not true. We're just having a crash course. Don't spread rumors."
Unfortunately, the others only believed what they thought, regardless of what Shen Xingbai said.
Within days, the news that "Shen Xingbai and Su Ningning are in a puppy love relationship" spread like wildfire throughout the entire school.
Su Ningning was completely unaware of this matter until her friends from the underachieving group told her.
Although they were academically weak, they were very loyal to their friends, so when they heard about this, they immediately came to ask her if it was true.
Upon hearing this, Su Ningning immediately exploded, her cheeks puffing up with anger and her eyes widening in fury:
"What?! The principal already spoke with us before, and we clearly explained that we were having extra classes, and the principal believed us. Why are they spreading rumors?!"
She hated being wrongly accused for no reason, and her anger flared up instantly, causing her to clench her fists.
"I'd like to see who's got a death wish, daring to spread rumors about me!"
Upon hearing this, the group of underachievers trembled with fear, having firsthand experienced how formidable Su Ningning was.
When Su Ningning first came to the school, she couldn't stand their behavior of skipping classes and smoking, saying that they were ruining the reputation of academic underachievers, and immediately ordered them to stop doing so.
At first, the group was completely unconcerned and didn't take the petite Su Ningning seriously at all, continuing to do as they pleased.
Then... they were all thoroughly beaten into submission by Su Ningning; it was a one-sided crushing defeat.
Even when they joined forces, they were powerless against her, getting beaten until they cried for their parents. Su Ningning showed no mercy, even declaring that if they dared to skip class or smoke, she would beat them up every time.
It can be said that because of Su Ningning's presence, the atmosphere of the entire school has been completely transformed.
