Li Erqin lifted her head to glance at Rong Si before turning back her attention to Peng Zige. She responded, "That"s right, I like him."

However, just before Peng Zige had *gone into cardiac arrest, she continued, "It"s the friendship kind of like. However it is a little less than how much I like you and Su Zi."
(T/N: I"ve used cardiac arrest but the author direct translation said that he was shocked beyond the boundaries.)

Su Zi couldn"t resist laughing.

Peng Zige was still not quite placated. "A little less… less by how much?"

Li Erqin gestured with her hands. "About this much."

Peng Zige was still not quite convinced. "Is that a lot?"

"Yup."

Peng Zige was finally placated and satisfied.

The past few days was as if winter was making its last fight to hang on as temperatures plummeted beyond words. Rong Si sat down utterly enveloped in a blanket of coldness while Peng Zige who sat by him continuously patted him. "Was it that cold outside?"

Rong Si nodded.

"But it wasn"t that cold when we were having dinner earlier!"

Su Zi pointed out the window saying, "That"s because the sun has set now."

Peng Zige looked disgruntled as he shook his head. "I have a feeling it is going to snow."

Su Zi said, "That right? Then do tell, fellow student Peng Zige. Please can you apply your learning into explaining the rudiments and contributing factors for snow and your method of deduction and calculation on the possibility of snowfall?"

Peng Zige glared at her and suddenly rolled his eyes up and violently shook his head.

Su Zi was taken aback and straightened up in her seat. "What are you doing?"

Li Erqin announced, "Having a spasm."

Peng Zige was aggrieved and lamented. "Have you all gone mad! I"m channeling an ancient deity in fortune telling!"

(Minodayz: PZG PZG you are seriously having me in st.i.tches and killing me here lmao (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎) you dolt!!!)

Su Zi ignored him. "I think you"re channeling a lunatic."

Things calmed down once again.

Rong Si grabbed the topmost book and opened it. He then noticed that Li Erqin was staring directly at him.

"What"s the matter?"

Li Erqin took the Physics exam paper she had been dragging about with her and placed it on his table. "It"s all been explained."

Rong Si lowered his eyes to look down at the paper. The exam was covered with calculations and supplementary notes. Looking up he said, "You"ve understood it all?"

Li Erqin nodded. However, she still had her sight fixed on him.

Rong Si was unable to guess what she was thinking. "What"s the matter?"

Li Erqin flattened out the exam papers and used a blue pen to draw a big circle around an area on the exam. "Ruan Mingxian told me the central focus of the exam is roughly these problems."

Rong Si lowered his chin down to look at the paper. His eyebrows rose when he caught on to something rather interesting, and he chuckled. Turning his head, he found Li Erqin looking at him with eyes that were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with antic.i.p.ation and hope.

(Minodayz: ummm … am I right to a.s.sume that RMX essentially said that her reasoning level is ZERO lol! Libramuse : she doesn"t reason like an average person)

At that moment, the short fringe on her forehead looked light and fluffy. The warm heat in the cla.s.sroom had turned her entire person gentle and soft, and this made her seem exceptionally obedient.

(Minodayz: LOL sorry I just had to add here – it"s almost like describing her like a lamb – which PZG did refer her to be one when she is around RS! Lol – Baa baa – my bad, spoilt the moment)

Rong Si wanted to reach out and pat her head, but he held himself back since they were out in the open.

"I understand," he said.

Li Erqin"s eyes lighted up. "Really?"

Rong Si smiled as he looked at her. "How about I help explain one of those questions?"

Immediately Li Erqin flipped through her papers. "There is this one question I simply could not understand no matter how many times he tried to explain it."

"Which one?"

Li Erqin leaned in closer to her papers to look for it.

The fine and delicate fringe on Li Erqin"s forehead was just by his hand that was holding onto his pen. Rong Si lightly lifted his forefinger and the back of his finger encountered the ends of her fringe.

Sure enough, it was soft as expected.

"Here!"

Li Erqin found the question and raised her head suddenly. Her head collided with Rong Si"s hand just as he was drawing it back.

Rong Si was stunned speechless. (⊙…⊙)

Li Erqin asked, "Does your hand hurt?"

Rong Si looked questioningly at her.

Li Erqin added, "My head is rather hard."

"… it"s ok …" く(^_・)ゝ

MInodayz: Ooooooo I love the move. RS is slowly putting more action. That gentle forefinger – OMG it was almost hilarious with her hard head!!!! CMU!!! Now do tell, but I am rather sure she didn"t understand anything at all while with RMX! She is beyond funny – I"m rolling about hooting in laughter like some lunatic coz she is also beyond words and only RS gets it! Ahhhh I do really love them to bits!!! And I"m still working out what had happened with RMX tutoring…either Rong Si was ping to something or she really didn"t get it! Hahahaha -3 words : Li Er Qin ~~~~!
