Chapter 82: One whole night, and you only wrote a 2. You're quite good at saving effort?

If... he could find someone else he liked.

She would also bless him.

After Shen Li ate her late-night snack, she hadn't sweated much today, so she didn't shower; she just brushed her teeth, washed her face, and went to bed.

It was already eleven o'clock at night when Zhao Zhouyuan returned to the dormitory.

She was a bit tipsy and reeked of alcohol.

She hadn't wanted to eat a late-night snack, but suddenly she was in a bad mood, so she finished eating outside before returning, and even drank two cans of beer.

The room was filled with the lingering smell of pork balls.

Smelling this, Zhao Zhouyuan's heart was still pricked with pain.

She walked into the dormitory, closed the door softly, and opened the balcony door for ventilation.

Zhang Zixin wasn't asleep yet, sitting on her bed playing a five-man game with Xie Qin and the others. In the dark dormitory, the light from her phone was still on, and she was wearing earphones, making no sound.

Shen Li was already asleep.

At this hour, the dormitory lights were off as usual, and the water in the water heater was only lukewarm.

Zhang Zixin probably smelled the alcohol too. After Zhao Zhouyuan came out of the bathroom from showering, she looked under the bed with a blank expression.

Regarding what happened today, her relationship with Zhao Zhouyuan could be considered completely broken, but their relationship wasn't good to begin with, so it didn't matter at all.

The next day, Shen Li slept until she woke up naturally. She was the last one to wake up. She had already been late several times, so she just put her phone by her pillow and set an alarm.

After washing up, she walked out of the bathroom and bumped into Zhao Zhouyuan, who was about to go in.

Zhao Zhouyuan gave her a cold look, walked past her, and entered the bathroom.

The bathroom door was closed by her, probably without holding back her strength, making a bit of a sound.

Having slept for nine hours, Shen Li still felt a bit sleepy and had no spirit.

Going to class, not long after arriving, the head teacher came in, looked at the attendance count at Zhao Zhouyuan's place, then walked to the back and asked Shen Li some questions: "How did you feel after listening to the lecture yesterday?"

Xie Qin, sitting in the seat next to her, propped his head up, turned his body, and his dark gaze also fell on Shen Li, waiting for her answer.

Shen Li paused. "... It was okay."

Xie Qin, to the side, chuckled inexplicably.

Then he helped Shen Li out of the predicament: "Why do you keep staring at her? Aren't there other people in the class who listened to the lecture? Go ask them."

"Xie Qin, don't think that just because you haven't skipped class lately, I won't talk to you. You better behave yourself."

At the time, Wang Chunmei had also had a headache when she found out Xie Qin had signed up for her class. It would have been fine if it were just him, but the people who didn't study originally had all gathered in his class. If he didn't come, he would lead most of the class to skip.

It was even more of a headache.

With Xie Qin taking the lead, the people next to him spoke up one after another.

Zhou Mingyu didn't let it go either: "No, Brother Qin, you're protecting her too openly!"

"No matter what, the head teacher is also concerned about our Vice Class Monitor's grades. Otherwise, why not be concerned about the Class Monitor!"

The loudest one was Xu Zhouyuan: "Exactly, always staring at our Vice Class Monitor. Head teacher, look at me, how about it? No matter what, I'm also the fifth from the bottom in class. I think I can still be saved. What if I go over and actually understand it!"

Wang Chunmei, holding the attendance sheet, tapped his head lightly: "You stop talking too."

Xie Qin's mouth curled into a lazy smile.

Wang Chunmei continued to ask Shen Li: "Yesterday's first problem was an introductory basic problem. Do you think the difficulty was high? How much did you understand?"

Shen Li: "It was okay."

Hearing this, Wang Chunmei's brows relaxed for a moment, feeling that there was still hope for Shen Li.

No matter what, she was also a student from Haishi High School.

This kind of problem was just a simple arithmetic problem for students from Haishi High School.

"It's good that you think it's okay. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask Teacher Jin. He is the best math teacher in our school and has won a gold medal in the Olympiad Mathematics Competition before. I've pushed his contact information to you; remember to add him."

Shen Li nodded and echoed: "Mm."

Zhao Zhouyuan, sitting in front of Shen Li, also suddenly spoke up: "Teacher, can you push it to me too?"

"Of course. Besides Shen Li, you also need to work hard and try your best to advance."

Zhao Zhouyuan: "Mm, teacher. I will definitely work hard and guarantee I advance."

After the head teacher left the classroom, Xie Qin knocked on Shen Li's desk: "Let me see the half-sheet of paper handed out yesterday."

"You... are also interested?"

"Checking."

Shen Li: "..."

Was he...

Concerned about her studies?

So Shen Li gave him the half-sheet of problems tucked in her book. After Xie Qin got it, he saw it was blank, with nothing written down, and at the very end, she had written a...

Li Xiaoya was sitting next to Zhao Zhouyuan. She turned around and spoke to Shen Li for the first time, taking the initiative to ask her: "Shen Li. The Class Monitor plans to create a small group for the four of us. Do you want to join?"

"If there are any problems, we can post them in the group and discuss them together."

"Class information and such will also be told to you in the group."

Shen Li was still hesitating. She didn't plan to advance in this math competition, and attending class was just to cope. If she refused like this, would it be a bit bad...

Should she agree...

If she didn't add it, would it seem like she wasn't part of the group?

After thinking about it, Shen Li nodded and agreed: "Mm."

Seeing her agree, she seemed very happy.

"I don't have you as a friend yet, I'll add you."

"Mm."

Shen Li usually used her phone for calls, and she didn't look at messages much. Since she had taken the initiative to invite her, it was indeed not easy to refuse.

Within a minute, Shen Li received a friend request.

Zhang Meiqi: "Vice Class Monitor, I've added you too, remember to accept."

Shen Li: "Okay."

With two more friend requests, she agreed to both.

Xie Qin put the half-sheet of paper on the desk, tapped the '2' with his fingertip, and looked at her sideways with amusement: "One whole night, and you only wrote a 2. You're quite good at saving effort?"

Shen Li told him seriously: "This is saving time costs."

This was a basic elementary school problem. The moment she saw the problem, she knew the answer, so she didn't write the verification process.

Xie Qin lowered his head and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then, he reached out and patted the shoulder of Li Xiaoya, who was sitting in front of him: "Classmate, lend me your paper."

Hearing Xie Qin's voice, Li Xiaoya's heart was beating so fast with excitement and nervousness: "Okay... okay."

"Thanks!"

Xie Qin took it.

"No... no problem."

Li Xiaoya: Ahhhhh!!! Xie Qin talked to her, I'm going crazy! His voice is so good!!!

On the surface, she still pretended to be calm.

A few words, however, made her blush.

Xie Qin put her paper and Shen Li's paper together for comparison. One was filled with notes.

When it came to Shen Li... she only wrote one answer, 2!

Xie Qin felt she hadn't listened at all!

When he asked her, she was quite righteous.

The paper was too white, as white as Shen Li's skin.

Xie Qin asked her: "Borrowed it for you, are you going to copy it?"

Shen Li: "..."

Xie Qin: "Not even giving face to the school boss?" ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
