I Might Have Fallen in Love With My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 224 - 216: Back

Chapter 224: Chapter 216: Back

Bai Wenxing was smart enough, and could fully immerse himself in solving problems.

Although the problem-solving approach Qingran used previously needed to be polished repeatedly, this handsome young man had plenty of patience.

Together, they worked on four or five problems, and Bai Wenxing’s eyes brightened increasingly as he looked at the questions.

The steps to the solution weren’t numerous, but they did involve a variety of formulas, which Qingran meticulously wrote down, one by one.

As she wrote, she explained, "Actually, this method of solving problems is just flashy on the surface. The reality is that it doesn’t use any fewer formulas. It’s just that those formulas can be simplified to get to the answer, and there’s no need to write them all out."

Bai Wenxing concurred, "Nothing is absolutely simple."

When you’re busy with something, time always flies by quickly.

Bai Wenxing had just returned to his seat with his textbook when Teacher Xu entered the classroom, textbooks in hand.

Teacher Xu was decisive and efficient in her work; during her lessons, she never indulged in any irrelevant chatter or preachings about life, not even a single drop.

Until Teacher Xu finished the three classes in the afternoon, those girls hadn’t run out to tell her about the incident during the lunch break.

Qingran breathed a sigh of relief internally. If they had indeed told the teacher, then Brother An would definitely not have escaped a scolding.

Given Brother An’s volatile temper, a reprimand would likely make things worse.

When school was over, the sun outside was still blazing, but luckily Qingran and her friends had brought sun umbrellas.

Ruan Ruan, who hadn’t brought a sun umbrella, could only squeeze under the same umbrella as Qingran. With students walking together so close, anything said could be overheard by others.

Ruan Ruan wanted to say something to Qingran but ended up holding it back.

When they arrived at the registration hall on the first floor, they bumped into Qiao Wanbai, who was listlessly playing with her phone while sitting on a rest chair.

Hearing the sound of people descending the stairs, Qiao Wanbai looked up at them. Once she saw Qingran and the rest, she put away her phone and stood up, gazing toward the crowd behind them.

Qiao Wanbai was dressed very coolly, with her shorts so short they couldn’t be shorter, revealing a pair of legs that were white and straight.

After glancing several times, Ruan Ruan sighed softly, "We all eat grains, so why can her legs be that long? Envy is making the tears fall from the corners of my mouth."

Fang Jin, who was walking beside them, couldn’t help but giggle when she heard this.

Ruan Ruan: "..."

Why did what was initially just a feeling of dejection turn a little into sadness?

Seeing this, Qingran quickly comforted her, "Our bodies and looks are inherited from our parents. Besides, your legs are beautiful, too!"

Fang Jin also tried to contain her laughter while nodding in agreement, "That’s right, that’s right, Ruan Ruan, your legs look great too. It’s just that the pants you’re wearing are too loose, obscuring us from discovering their beauty."

Compared to Qiao Wanbai’s, they’re just a bit darker, a tad thicker, a little shorter, that’s all.

"Mwah, mwah..." Ruan Ruan sent air kisses toward Qingran and Fang Jin, her eyes brimming with moved tears, "It’s still my Ranran and Fang Jin who are the best."

Qingran and Fang Jin exchanged a glance and smiled silently to each other.

Over there, Qiao Wanbai probably spotted Bai Wenxing, as she waved her hands and called, "Xiao Bai? Xiao Bai, here, I’m here."

Walking at the back, Bai Wenxing couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly upon seeing Qiao Wanbai.

The students who had left school together were still queuing up at the front desk to clock in and out, as the tutoring center required both students and teachers to check in before and after class.

Bai Wenxing responded blandly to Qiao Wanbai, also lining up at the end of the queue, waiting his turn to clock out.

If the mountain won’t come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain.

Qiao Wanbai had just that sort of character. Perhaps because she was in a good mood, she hopped toward Bai Wenxing with a lightness in her step.

"Ouch!" Fang Jin, who had been glancing over her shoulder at the scene behind her, winced as if she could feel a toothache just watching Qiao Wanbai’s actions.

The not-so-long line was enough to block the view behind it.

When Qingran was about to clock in, she heard an increasingly loud argument coming from behind—

"Bai Wenxing, what do you mean by that?" Qiao Wanbai’s voice was angry: "Can only your family have relatives here, and mine can’t?"

Bai Wenxing’s voice was not loud, and with nearly a dozen students in between, Qingran couldn’t hear him at all from her position.

Fortunately, she wasn’t curious either.

Then Qiao Wanbai’s voice followed: "We’re such good friends, can’t I come and see you? Moreover, I wanted to take extra lessons with you, but your teacher isn’t accepting new students..."

After that, the noise gradually faded away.

Actually, Teacher Xu had mentioned during class today: she absolutely wouldn’t accept students who weren’t genuinely there to learn.

Presumably, Qiao Wanbai also came to sign up but Teacher Xu didn’t accept her.

Teacher Xu, who didn’t take Qiao Wanbai, did however accept Xie Ying’an who had just returned from his grandfather’s place in the countryside on another Tuesday.

When Qingran saw Xie Ying’an again, she was momentarily stunned. To be honest, after chatting with Xie Ying’an last time, she had forgotten when he said he would be back.

There was no helping it. Ever since Bai Wenxing had asked her for help with the type of problem-solving methods she had used before, the two of them had been discussing together practically every break.

To say there was no improvement would be false. When Bai Wenxing seriously committed to studying, his competitive spirit was definitely unmatched by Qingran.

Xie Ying’an came into the classroom with Teacher Xu, and as soon as he entered the door, his gaze accurately fell on Qingran.

The teenager had hardly changed at all in the short ten days.

It was within Qingran’s expectations that Xie Ying’an would attend the extra lessons. She looked up from her seat and gave him a smile.

Xie Ying’an paused for a moment and then couldn’t help but purse his lips and offer a shallow smile.

The morning sun was not fierce. The teenager’s light smile warmed someone’s years gently.

A few girls on the side used their upright books to cover their mouths and noses, leaving only their eyes to stare intently at Xie Ying’an. Below their books, their faces were filled with excitement. They had thought that Li Qingmo was already handsome enough; they had not expected someone even more good-looking than him.

Oh my gosh, their extra lesson life would never be boring again.

Teacher Xu did not introduce Xie Ying’an, and Xie Ying’an was even less inclined to introduce himself.

Teacher Xu pointed to some empty seats in the back: "There are several empty seats back there, and some students don’t have desk mates, so just find a spot and sit."

Teacher Xu has always stayed out of how the students chose their seats in the class.

In a hurry, Li Qingmo quickly drove his underling desk mate away and waved to Xie Ying’an: "Here, here, this spot!"

Xie Ying’an glanced at Li Qingmo and walked in his direction, pausing for a moment when he passed by Qingran’s desk, but ultimately said nothing and continued on.

Once Xie Ying’an was seated at the back, Ruan Ruan leaned half over her desk and sighed dismally, "Ranran, it looks like we only had a week of being desk mates, boo hoo hoo, I can’t bear to part with you!"

She covered her face and pretended to cry.

Qingran shook her head and chuckled, glancing back.

Li Qingmo was whispering to Xie Ying’an with an excited expression on his face.

"Don’t worry," she turned back to Ruan Ruan and said, "my brother wouldn’t let his desk mate get away that easily."

Ruan Ruan: "..."

Just unfortunate, I had just seen your brother kick out his original desk mate with a single kick to make room for Brother An.

And now you tell me, your brother won’t let his desk mate get away so easily?

Daran, are you talking about the same brother under the same sky?
