“Remember what you promised me!” He had one arm around her neck pinning her into his embrace as though to show her who was boss.
“Can you let go of me? You’re heavy, you know that!?” Mu Xiaoxiao could still feel the pain from him squis.h.i.+ng her face from before.
“No! I’m not even leaning on you, so where’s the weight from?”
Even though Yin Shaojie had retorted like that, he still lessened his grip substantially when he realized that her face was scrunched up in discomfort.
Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him in displeasure and simply pulled his arm off and hugged it to herself.
“Is this okay now? Let’s go. It’s time for cla.s.s!”
“Oh yeah, what did you say just now? You were going to look for that fellow after school too? I forbid you from doing so!”
“What did you say? The wind’s too loud; I can’t hear you!”
“You little wretch!”
…
After school.
Mu Xiaoxiao arrived at Year Three’s Cla.s.s S on the dot to see the end of the examination. There were students filing out of the cla.s.s, and the teacher was still arranging the examination scripts.
However, there was no sign of Lu Yichen when she entered the cla.s.s.
She grabbed a pa.s.ser-by and asked, confused, “Where’s Lu Yichen?”
“He left after handing in his papers early.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. “Left early? But his hand… Oh yeah, did you see which hand he used to write during the examination?”
The student seemed as though he remembered this clearly and answered instantly, “His left hand.”
“Are you sure?” Mu Xiaoxiao pressed.
“Yeah, he used his left hand for the entirety of the exam and everyone saw it. How can I remember that incorrectly?”
Mu Xiaoxiao only let him go after finis.h.i.+ng her interrogation.
When the teacher pa.s.sed her when he was about to leave after organizing the scripts, she was shocked. “H-h.e.l.lo, Young Master Jie!”
“Hi teacher, hold on.”
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at Yin Shaojie when she heard his magnetic voice from behind her, stopping the teacher in his tracks mysteriously.
She walked over curiously. “Jie, what are you doing?”
The teacher walked back to the teaching podium at a gesture of Yin Shaojie’s gaze.
“Sit down.”
At Yin Shaojie’s command, the teacher sat down obediently.
Watching this, Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. Which student dared to command a teacher like that? She felt sorry for the teacher.
The teacher was a little nervous as he asked, “Young Master Jie, what’s the matter?”
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie curiously as well, wanting to know what he was up to.
Yin Shaojie motioned to the papers in the teacher’s hand with his eyes and said, “Take out Lu Yichen’s paper and mark it right here.”
Not daring to object, the teacher rummaged through the pile for Lu Yichen’s script. Wielding a red pen, he lowered her head and began to mark the paper.
Perhaps he was afraid to let Young Master Jie wait for long, for he was swift with his grading.
It was done only after a few minutes. He handed the paper to Yin Shaojie.
“Young Master Jie, the paper has been marked.”
Mu Xiaoxiao craned her neck to look anxiously. Her eyes widened into saucers as she saw the marks that had been written. “Full marks?!” She couldn’t believe it.
She looked astounded as she looked at the teacher. “Teacher, didn’t Lu Yichen use his left hand to write the exam?”
“Yes.” Seeing that she had a friendly demeanor, the teacher was much less nervous.
“Then he…” Mu Xiaoxiao took another glance at the mathematics paper and found that the handwriting was indeed crooked as though the handwriting had not been dexterous. The circle that he had been required to draw by the question at the end looked a little misshapen.
The teacher seemed to know what she was thinking and explained, “His writing is legible, but to be able to write with his left hand and not have his thought process affected is amazing.”
