Li Erqin gave Ruan Mingxian a rueful smile. “It doesn’t matter. Even the amazing Rong Si couldn’t help me with my Physics.”

Ruan Mingxian laughed. “Is that your exam paper you’re holding? Let me take a look.”

Li Erqin handed over her test paper that she had folded into neat squares.

Ruan Mingxian gave a quick glance. So many red marks!

He pointed at a particular question on the exam and asked Li Erqin, “I just helped Ruan Nuonuo with this problem. Do you want me to explain it to you too?”

Li Erqin was doubtful. “Now?”

“After dinner?” Ruan Mingxian tilted his chin up to indicate that he was heading upstairs. “I’m actually running an errand for the teacher now. He’s waiting for me.”

“Then I’ll treat you to dinner.” Li Erqin thought a bit before replying further, “It’ll be a thank you for tutoring me.”

Ruan Mingxian didn’t bother trying to be polite about it. “Sure.”

When she returned to the cla.s.sroom, Li Erqin unexpectedly found Peng Zige buried in his books.

It was very hot in the cla.s.sroom, and Peng Zige had taken off his sweater and shoved it inside his desk. He only had on a white, long-sleeved hoodie. The draft paper under his right hand was already full of scrawls and calculations.

Su Zi had just turned around to talk with Peng Zige when she saw Li Erqin and smiled. “You’re back?”

“Yeah.” Li Erqin sat down.

Su Zi went back to talking with Peng Zige and flipped through the textbook in her hand. “I feel like you’re not very familiar with this topic. The practice problems are right here. If you can understand these, then the rest of the questions should be no problem.”

Peng Zige moved his head closer for a look. “Is that right …”

Su Zi took out a blue exercise book and flipped it open. “Yes. See here, from this problem to this problem, they all have to do with this topic.”

“Oh ……”

Peng Zige gripped the book and bent down to do the calculations.

Li Erqin took out her own book and then turned back to talk to Rong Si. “Well….”

Rong Si looked up. Well what?

“I made plans to eat dinner with Ruan Mingxian tonight.”

This time, Rong Si raised his entire head. His right eyebrow lifted up ever so slightly.

Li Erqin quickly explained. “I just ran into Ruan Mingxian as I was coming back to cla.s.s. He said he would help me go over my Physics paper.”

Rong Si nodded. “OK.”

Peng Zige stopped his furious scribbles and asked, “Ruan Mingxian is going to help you look over your Physics paper?”

“Yeah.”

Peng Zige’s face said that he was unhappy and did not understand. “Are Ah Si’s explanations no good?”

Li Erqin asked back, “Who said that?”

Peng Zige was stumped again. “Then why go to Ruan Mingxian for help?”

Li Erqin felt like Peng Zige was misunderstanding something, but she didn’t know how to respond.

In the end, Rong Si was the calm one. “What’s wrong with having one more person explain things to Li Erqin?”

Peng Zige thought this made sense. “That’s true.”

Rong Si jabbed his pen at the exercise book that was pressed under Peng Zige’s elbow. “See here, not only did I help you with this, but you also had Su Zi’s help.”

Peng Zige thought that what Rong Si said was completely reasonable, and he continued working on th

e exercises that he had so unceremoniously stopped before.

Everyone went back to their own studies.

Suddenly, Peng Zige drew an angry mark across his book. He turned towards Rong Si. “Ah Si, are you stupid?”

Rong Si glanced sideways at him.

“By letting Ruan Mingxian tutor Li Erqin, aren’t you giving him an opening?”

The corners of Rong Si’s lips curled up, as if he had just heard something funny.

Peng Zige immediately looked towards Li Erqin to see her reaction. Luckily, she didn’t seem to have noticed their low whispers.

He lowered his voice even further. “What are you smiling about?”

“What you said makes sense.”

Peng Zige was flabbergasted. “And you’re still so nonchalant about it?”

“Yeah.”

“Yeah?”

Rong Si went back to his work and continued looking at figures and numbers that in Peng Zige’s eyes were a big jumble.

Peng Zige was harried and used his hands to cover Rong Si’s book. “Don’t play at being a deep thinker. If you have something to say, just say it!”

(Minodayz : Yah RS…. we all wanna hear you SAY IT!!! lol)

Rong Si was helpless. “Use your head and think about it.”

Peng Zige was perplexed. “Think about what?”

Rong Si: “……”

Peng Zige blinked big eyes that were begging for understanding and clarity.

Rong Si had no choice. “…… It’s nothing. Li Erqin won’t be thinking about anything other than getting help with her Physics.”

Peng Zige turned this thought over in his head and agreed. “What you say makes sense.”

This time, Peng Zige finally returned to his studies with appropriate diligence.

And yet, a short while later, he jabbed Rong Si with his elbow. “Ruan Mingxian sure is having a hard time chasing after the girl he likes…..”

(Minodayz : PZG – you’ve nailed it again! Hahahaha lmao)

Rong Si had nothing to say.

*He sympathized completely.
(T/N: 感同身受 gantongshenshou, literally receiving the same feeling or to sympathize and feel as if it’s happening to oneself.)
