Tranzgeek: Ahhh I totally feel for Li Erqin and physics hehe~ Meanwhile, Li Erqin is having her fun amidst all that “studying” xD
Minodayz66 Blurb: Oh, those days of pa.s.sing notes between friends behind the teacher"s back! Well, our Li Erqin just makes it such an experience that you"ll wish you could be the one pa.s.sing her a note just to see the expression on her face!
Plus the boys put in some "elbow grease" and the beginning of LEQ blus.h.i.+ng&h.e.l.lip;..
LEQ humor goes up another notch as she plays a prank and Rong Si is starting to think&h.e.l.lip;..
Chapter 6: Blus.h.i.+ng
The first cla.s.s in the afternoon was Physics. If Li Erqin’s geography results were enough to shock Peng Zige, then Peng Zige might as well not even dare to lay eyes on her physics score.
The hot spell during summer had just returned before disappearing in the middle of October. Li Erqin tried hard to concentrate on the chalk sounds coming from the Physics teacher writing on the blackboard, gradually finding that she could hardly keep her eyes open. Her vision, slowly blurred, focused, and blurred again, and the drone of the lecture seemed to slowly drift to a faraway place.
Just when she thought she was beginning to dream, Li Erqin sensed someone jab her back.
She cautiously turned back, as the lanky Peng Zige swiftly stuffed a piece of paper into her hands.
"Is this for me?"
Peng Zige shot her a "No kidding" expression.
As this was the first time that she had ever received a note during cla.s.s, Li Erqin was excited and anxious. She anxiously grasped the note, as a thin layer of perspiration formed on her back.
"What are you doing, Erqin?" Peng Zige couldn"t resist reminding her: "Don"t get caught by the teacher!"
Li Erqin spared him a backward glance, her eyes conveying "I can"t explain this in just a few words!"
Peng Zige developed gooseb.u.mps and began to sweat after seeing her expression.

Xia Wei sighed in lament after Mr. Jiang"s statement and looked down at the orange cat in his arms again. The orange cat seemed to not have recovered from the painful loss of its whiskers yet, acting completely dispirited and downcast.
"I saw online that cats use their whiskers to measure things. Without whiskers, they cannot judge distance accurately and will frequently be stuck or fall onto their faces. Is this true?" Looking at its lost-all-interest-in-life appearance, Xia Wei felt that this theory was somewhat true.
Jiang Zhi Zhou had also heard a theory that said a cat without whiskers could not catch prey. He smoothed down the cat"s fur and said, "Before his whiskers grow back, he can stay at my place."
Xia Wei complained to him, "I also feed this cat, so why should it stay at your place?"
Having previously seen the cat"s lack of aggression to her, Jiang Zhi Zhou had also surmised that she might be one of the feeding masters. "When do you feed it every day?"
"9:00PM. When I come back for work, it lies down on its stomach in front of Building 3, waiting for me!"
Jiang Zhi Zhou stated, "Then you can come feed it every night at 9:00PM."
&h.e.l.lip;Why?!
Xia Wei, not relenting, argued, "Giving this orange cat to a perverted straight guy like you to feed, heaven knows what you will do to it."
Jiang Zhi Zhou"s temple throbbed twice. Tu—tu— "How exactly am I a pervert?"
"Ah, aren"t you a pervert? You have even seen my underwear!"
Ding—
The elevator doors just happened to open at this time. Standing inside was the young married woman living next door to Xia Wei, an awkward expression on her face as she looked at them.
Xia Wei: "&h.e.l.lip;"
Jiang Zhi Zhou: "&h.e.l.lip;"
Ultimately, the young married woman squeezed out a smile first. "Mr. Jiang, Miss Xia, good morning."
"Good morning, haha&h.e.l.lip;" Xia Wei also followed suit with a forced smile.
The other party vacated the elevator with lightning speed. Jiang Zhi Zhou and Xia Wei also entered the elevator before the doors closed.
As if nothing had happened.
The two of them were quiet for a moment before Jiang Zhi Zhou opened his mouth. "Then let"s allow the orange cat to choose where to go."
He set the orange cat on the ground and said to it, "Go to whoever you want to live with."
The orange cat, having lost all interest in life, sprawled motionlessly on the floor for quite a long time. It seemed that by losing its whiskers, all meaning in its cat life had vanished. As they neared the 18th floor, it finally mewled weakly and without strength as it s.h.i.+fted over towards Jiang Zhi Zhou.
Xia Wei: "&h.e.l.lip;"
She raised her head to glare at Jiang Zhi Zhou. "How much money did you spend on cat food to feed it?"
Jiang Zhi Zhou: "&h.e.l.lip;"
He lifted up the orange cat and hugged it as he answered, "I have never raised a cat before, so I have no understanding of cat food. Thus, I straightforwardly bought the most expensive brands."
Xia Wei: "&h.e.l.lip;"
She lost.
She beamed as she stroked the orange cat"s head, saying to it, "Its attractiveness decreased sharply after its whiskers got cut. You can feel relieved while staying at his apartment; don"t go to see other cats."
Jiang Zhi Zhou: "&h.e.l.lip;"
Delayed by this incident, it was already 10:00AM by the time Xia Wei arrived at the nail salon. Luckily, there weren"t many people in the salon, so she tied up her hair, put on her ap.r.o.n, and sat down on the sofa to send a message.
Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「Today, the stray cat Mr. Jiang from downstairs had been feeding was being bullied. He nearly did not roast those two brats and their parents to death. Hahaha. Seeing him be so ruthless when roasting others, my heart has suddenly become at ease. 『smile』」
Invincible Little Sweetie: 「Your Mr. Jiang from downstairs even feeds a stray cat? Then it appears that he is not particularly awful」
Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「&h.e.l.lip;How come you said the same thing as my naive younger brother」
Invincible Little Sweetie: 「grin」
Invincible Little Sweetie: 「I think that a man who would feed stray cats is, at his core, a very warm hearted person~」
Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「&h.e.l.lip;Don"t speak anymore. I"m afraid I will vomit 『smile-cry』」
Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: 「Then what? Student Xia Wei Wei, have you realized that recently in our chat, you have practically only been talking about this "Mr. Jiang from downstairs?"」
Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「f.u.c.king h.e.l.l, don"t scare me&h.e.l.lip;」
Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: 「You can search through the chat history for "Mr. Jiang from downstairs"『smile』」
Asking for Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「&h.e.l.lip;」
Xia Wei really did go search. When she saw the red tags on the screen, alarm blitzed through her heart.
Had she really been talking about only Mr. Jiang from downstairs recently? If this was true, then it was because he was too loathsome!
Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「That just proves that he really is a horrid person!」
Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: 「It also proves that he has already succeeded in rousing your interest『picks nose』」
Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「Do you really have to scare people like this『smile』」
Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: 「Friends! Beloved darlings! I"m coming back!!!」
Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「You finished that engineering project?」
Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: 「No&h.e.l.lip;but I can return to rest for several days! I"m taking a Friday morning flight and will arrive in A City at noon! Let"s meet up in the evening!」
Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「Meetmeetmeet」
Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Names: 「『smile』『smile』『smile』」
Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: 「I want to go eat at Tian Xia Restaurant! Egg fried rice!」
Once she said this, Xia Wei actually remembered that plate of egg fried rice she ate last time with slight longing. Unfortunately, this time no one was treating. For her to settle her own bill, she would still have some physical pain.
Oh, that was right. The orange cat was being raised by Mr. Jiang. She could save money on its cat food.
