Chapter 732: Olympiad (4)_1
Normally, when there was nothing pressing to do, we would also hide away and debate who was the best looking in the class or even the entire school.
And Xiu Xi was undoubtedly that best looking one, with plenty of girls from the eighth and ninth grades occasionally pretending to pass by the classroom just to take a quick look and then giggling as they ran away.
Now he sat there motionless on his own, and everyone knew that they had no part in the math competition anyway, so they naturally took the opportunity to sneak extra glances.
Jiaojiao was stumped by the last problem today, her head bowed as she focused on calculating. Ruan Lei sat beside her; he and Qi Weixin had put down their pens at the same time, but Jiaojiao hadn’t finished yet. Ruan Lei wasn’t in a hurry to leave, choosing instead to sit and wait for her.
Weixin glanced at Jiaojiao, who still hadn’t finished, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes showing a determination to win this chance to participate in the math competition.
She got up and walked out, seeing Xiu Xi sitting under the big tree. She also saw many first graders in the corridor stealing glances at her. With a flicker in her eyes, she straightened her back and walked over.
"Xiu Xi," she called, her tone softer than usual, no longer adversarial as before.
Xiu Xi was holding a water bottle, frequently looking down at his watch. This watch had been a birthday gift from Jiaojiao this year; a mechanical watch. Since he had always been precise with time, he hadn’t worn it initially and had kept it in his cupboard instead.
