Liao Nan spent the entire morning in Class 10, feeling extremely restless.
However, he couldn't even articulate why he felt so restless, no matter how hard he tried to explain it.
For example, it's like when you go to your classmate's house as a guest, and your classmate's parents are constantly watching the two of you play on the computer.
That feeling is quite subtle.
"Do you feel like I don't fit in with your class, Class 10?" The Chinese language teacher was giving a lecture while Liao Nan quietly spoke to Gu Yan below.
The hand of Gu Xueshen, who was taking notes, paused for a moment. Then he looked up at him, feeling somewhat amused. "Why suddenly ask about this?"
"The stool is low, unable to stretch one's legs."
"Every classroom desk is of a standard size."
"The classroom is too cold."
"All classrooms don't have heating."
"There are too many people in your class."
The paragraph translates to: "There are a total of 51 students in class 10, while class 16 has 62 students. Comparatively, it is already significantly less."
"That's because there are too few people."
"......"
Gu Yan remained silent for a moment. The hand they were holding tightened even more. "What's wrong with you?"
"Just not used to it..." Liao Nan looked at the densely written notes on the blackboard, but his gaze couldn't focus on anything.
"Your class is too quiet."
The previous sounds of tables being slammed, laughter, the grating noise of chalk on the blackboard, the sounds of scolding... all of these sounds have now turned into the clear and organized lecture delivered by the female teacher standing at the podium.
The soundproofing effect of the windows in Class 1 is very good. Basically, once the door and windows are closed, the entire room is left with only the sound of the teacher lecturing and the sound of students flipping through their books and taking notes.
Although usually annoyed by noisy noises, Liao Nan suddenly found himself uncomfortable when his ears suddenly became quiet.
I always feel like I'm floating, unable to land on solid ground.
He seemed to have lost his way in the clouds.
"I feel... it's not quite suitable for me," he murmured softly.
The rustling sound echoed next to his ear as Liao Nan glanced sideways, only to find Gu Yan searching for something in his backpack.
In the midst of his daze, a pink something suddenly appeared in his line of sight. Due to its close proximity, it appeared blurry, as if covered in a mosaic pattern.
In order to avoid the situation of squinting, Liao Nan bypassed the mosaic and locked his gaze directly onto Gu Yan, who was holding the mosaic.
His face was full of question marks.
Ahem," Gu Xueshen's face turned slightly red. He coughed uncomfortably and then turned his face away, "This is... an eraser. The school's mini supermarket had a buy one get one free offer, so there was one left..."
"Give it to me?" Liao Nan raised one eyebrow.
Gu Yan quickly nodded and stuffed a handful of erasers into Liao Nan's hand, "There's nothing unsuitable, you'll get used to it in no time. Don't be deceived by their current appearance - they may look decent, but their true colors are revealed as soon as class ends."
Liao Nan paused for a moment before realizing that Gu Yan was answering his question just now.
My heart couldn't help but warm up.
Until he lowered his head and saw the cute little pink pig with a hairdryer head obediently sitting in the palm of his hand.
The hairdryer's head, Little Pink Pig...
Isn't this damn Peppa Pig?!
Liao Nan, with a blank expression on his face, looked at the profile of the top student. He pondered how to trick the genius into being sent to the hospital after class so he could put him in a burlap sack.
Just as he was getting lost in his thoughts, a short piece of pink chalk flew towards him. Immediately after, a female voice came from the front of the classroom, "Liao Nan, instead of looking at your desk mate, why don't you pay attention to the blackboard during class? Is he more attractive than the knowledge being taught?!"
How should I answer this question?
Liao Nan nodded and said, "It's alright, I guess."
Who let you actually answer, hey?!
The students of class 10 couldn't help but turn their heads and glance at the peculiar blush on the face of Gu Xueshen sitting next to them. Then, they looked at Liao Nan standing solemnly and finally their gaze landed on the intertwined hands of the two.
Will these two hold hands and develop feelings for each other while pulling each other?
"Archrivals turning into best buddies?"
"Study God and School Tyrant (Academic Tyrant)?"
How does this CP feel... unexpectedly exciting?
Or perhaps, is covering oneself with a quilt during the time spent together at the same table a normal occurrence?
The students of Class 10 were experiencing their first sense of confusion in life, apart from just having knowledge.
