Chapter 117 Holiday

Yunxi looked at the contents of the book, trying her best to ignore the occasional intense gazes coming from the side.

Anyway, he wasn't staring at me the whole time. He would just look at me for a few seconds while he was reading, so I didn't think much of it.

He was just a suitor, or perhaps not even a suitor, since no one had pursued him yet; he was merely an admirer.

Because she had studied the material in advance, Yunxi didn't find it difficult at all when the teacher was explaining the textbook content in class, as it was all content that she had already memorized.

I feel like I've already memorized everything, and then I have to listen to it all again in class, which is a huge waste of time.

The only way to do this was to sneakily take advantage of the teacher's inattention and multitask, listening to the teacher's lecture while secretly reading the contents of the back of the book.

Fortunately, she never reads books unrelated to what the teacher is talking about. In Chinese class, she directly reads the Chinese content at the back, and she does the same in math class.

The teacher who was lecturing was very angry when he saw her looking at the later content. He felt that she was not paying attention in class and hadn't even learned the previous material yet, so she was already looking at the later content. He thought she was being too distracted.

Finally, I deliberately called on her to answer questions, and after finding that she could answer all of them, I knew that she had prepared in advance, so I stopped paying attention to her.

Of course, this is only temporary. If you fail the exam, things won't be so easy to talk to.

Although I didn't supervise her reading other books, I would ask her to answer questions almost every day just to check on her progress and see if she was keeping up.

Fortunately, Yunxi lived up to expectations and could answer every question the teacher asked, even without thinking.

Life was quite peaceful, except for the occasional eye-roll and snort from Bai Cuicui when she saw her, and Li Xingtang staring at her like a madman when no one was looking. Apart from that, there were no major upheavals.

Less than a month into the semester, the autumn harvest was fast approaching, and the school gave us a ten-day holiday to prepare for the harvest.

Yunxi had no objection to the autumn harvest holiday. Anyway, his physical condition was getting better and better, and doing a little work wasn't too tiring.

When school ended in the afternoon, all the books were put away and the classroom was cleaned. For the next ten days, no one would be here, so it was like a big cleaning in advance.

With all the students working together, the pace was quite fast, only taking about 20 minutes longer than usual.

After school let out for the holidays, Yunxi couldn't wait to go outside the school.

Li Xingtang followed behind Yunxi, and seeing how anxious Yunxi looked, he was actually quite anxious too.

It's been almost a month since the start of the semester, but he feels that his relationship with Yunxi hasn't progressed much.

Although we've become quite familiar with each other, it's only a little bit closer than a normal classmate relationship. Whenever I want to take another step forward, looking into Yunxi's clear eyes, it feels like she can see through all my thoughts, and I feel like I can't move my legs.

His face turned red, his heart raced, and his usually eloquent tongue suddenly became like a stutterer in front of Yunxi, unable to utter a single word.

The holidays are coming up soon. Although they don't have much farm work to do in town, since other students in the countryside are on holiday, it's impossible for political students not to be on holiday, so they're all on holiday together.

The thought of not seeing Yunxi for the next ten days or so made him overcome his shyness instantly. He was nothing like his usual tyrant self, and instead became shy and timid in front of Yunxi.

He quickly ran to Yunxi, intending to call him over immediately, but seeing the classmates coming and going around him, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.

It wasn't that she was shy, but rather that she was worried that if others saw her, it would negatively affect Yunxi's reputation.

I could only follow her slowly, waiting until there was no one else around before making a move.

Yunxi already knew that classmate Li was following her again, so she was used to it.

Since the start of the school year, this has become an essential part of my daily commute home. If he wants to follow me, let him. He'll leave on his own eventually anyway.

Yunxi originally had a pretty good impression of him, thinking he was quite cool and very handsome. However, seeing him stuttering and acting awkward in front of her, his image in her mind instantly plummeted.

Although she had never been in a relationship, she felt that she probably wouldn't like a guy with that kind of personality. She had a vague idea in her mind that she would like a domineering man who was indifferent to other women but doted on her.

If Li Xingtang knew that Yunxi liked this kind of guy, he would probably regret being so coy. He was originally a rather domineering person, but he only had concerns and felt insecure in front of the person he liked.

It can only be said that the one who liked the other first lost from the very beginning.

They were about to leave the town, and if they didn't go forward soon, Yunxi would have to leave.

Li Xingtang didn't care that there were other classmates around, and even if he did, there was nothing he could do, because they were all going home along this road.

He ran a few steps and came straight to Yunxi. He tried his best to control his wildly beating heart and maintained a serious and composed demeanor. If it weren't for his bright red ears, he could easily have fooled people.

"Yunxi, I need to talk to you about something. Could you wait a moment?"

Yunxi looked at his expressionless face, which surprised her. She hadn't expected him to have this side to him.

I glanced at his face and ears, then looked at his tightly clenched fists, and secretly smiled to myself.

It turns out that it wasn't that I wasn't nervous, but rather that I was trying hard to keep a straight face.

"Okay, Li Xingtang, is there something you need from me?"

I took a few steps to the side. Standing in the middle of the road was indeed a bit inappropriate. Not only did it block other people's way, but it also easily attracted onlookers.

Although Yunxi wasn't afraid of gossip, having lived in this era for a while, she was aware of the conservative nature of the people and saw no need to cause unnecessary trouble.

The villagers glanced at Yunxi, signaling with their eyes whether she wanted help.

Yunxi quickly shook her head and waved to them with a smile.
