Chapter 29

This habit seemed to become a secret understanding between them. Sometimes, Tianxin didn't have anything to talk about, but just listening to his voice made her feel at ease. Yan Heng slowly intruded into her world in this subtle and quiet way.

A week later, as the performance approached, several teachers from the art troupe wanted to ensure the effectiveness of the show, so they had to take a look at the program. This time, the dancers were all wearing costumes and the props were more complete. It was almost like a preview before the performance.

Yan Heng had fantasized about how she would look in this dress, but he never expected her to look like a little fairy when she actually wore it. The white dress was floating, and her slender waist was beautiful and attractive. As Tianxin looked at Yan Heng's fervent gaze, her heart started to beat faster. "It looks pretty good, doesn't it?"

More than just good-looking, she was simply beautiful. If there weren't other people in the classroom, he couldn't help but hug her. "Little fairy," Tianxin pursed her lips. Many people had praised her for being obedient, good at studying, and beautiful, but no one had ever praised her like this before.

Little fairy, hehe, how could she live up to being a fairy? But Yan Heng was very serious, and Tianxin was very happy in her heart.

"Go over there early and come back early, little fairy, hurry up and go," he really didn't want anyone to see her in this alluring state.

Zhu Ting played with her clothes. "It seems a bit big, Tianxin's just the right size. Xiao Yue, hurry up and go," Tan Xiaoyue looked in Tianxin's direction. Yan Heng's gaze had never fallen on her before, even though she was more beautiful than Tianxin.

When the Chinese teacher came in, she found that several students were missing from the class. She asked the class monitor and found out that they went to the rehearsal. "Okay, let's start class without them," the Chinese teacher, surnamed Yan, was petite in stature, but her facial features were very delicate. It is said that she was the first in the liberal arts in the county back then.

There was nothing for Yan Heng to listen to in the Chinese class, so he took out a physics test paper and started to work on it. This was the Huanggang secret test paper, and Yan Heng bought a copy to do when he had nothing to do. He had already finished half of it.

He didn't do Tianxin's test questions quickly. Tianxin had to explain the questions to him every time, even though he already knew how to do them. He just wanted to listen to her voice, and asking her to explain the questions could also help her deepen her knowledge. He chose the questions that were her weak points, and that girl would do several similar questions just so she could explain them clearly to him.

Tianxin followed Zhu Ting to the location and unexpectedly ran into Qin Zhiyue. Qin Zhiyue was not wearing her school uniform and was wearing cropped pants and a white coat. She looked like she had just come out of the dance studio. Standing next to her was a boy that Tianxin didn't know, and the two of them seemed to be arguing.

When the boy saw someone approaching, he let go of Qin Zhiyue's arm and said, "Just think about it some more. I really like you." He looked quite refined, but Tianxin was a bit scared because he had been tearing at Qin Zhiyue's clothes and seemed to be quite emotional.

Qin Zhiyue looked impatient and, seeing Tianxin and her group standing there, with her disheveled appearance exposed to others, she walked over with haughtiness, like a swan. She glanced at Tianxin and the others and brushed past them.

After Qin Zhiyue was out of sight, Zhu Ting spoke up. "The school flower does have an air of elegance. Her boyfriend is also a top student. He's in the experimental class. I didn't expect the school flower to be in a relationship with him."

Tianxin didn't think Qin Zhiyue liked that boy very much. If they hadn't been there just now, the boy might have even resorted to physical violence.

"The school flower is indeed beautiful, but her reputation isn't very good. She's always flirting with different guys," another girl who was with them said.

Afterwards, the three of them hurried back to their dormitory to change clothes. The Chinese class had already ended. Tianxin also brought her draft book with her, which was filled with thick white paper.

The classroom was very lively after class. Zhong You and Yan Heng were chatting, and Zhong You's face was excited, as if he had found money. Zhu Ting patted his shoulder and sat down. "Did you take any stimulants?"

Yan Heng glanced at him coldly, and Zhong You's words were stuck in his throat. Fortunately, he didn't blurt it out. "No, no. It's just that Brother Yan told a joke that made me laugh," Yan Heng was really scary.

"Aren't you going to let me copy your homework?" Zhu Ting had been busy with dance practice these past few days, so she had accumulated a lot of homework. She started to write quickly, "What homework do you need?"

Zhu Ting thought for a moment and said, "Mathematics. It's easy to copy, and also prepare English for me." Mathematics and English were due the next day.

Zhong You took his time searching for his homework, "Why do you always drag your feet with your homework when you dance with Tianxin? She finishes hers and you're still struggling. You always copy mine."

Zhu Ting looked at Zhong You, "You don't want to let me copy, so I have to find someone else," she was angry, copying homework wouldn't do any harm.

Zhong You quickly denied, "No, no, it's just that if you copy the homework, what will you do during the exam?" He was also concerned about her grades.

Zhu Ting didn't want to talk about this topic, "Let's just take the exam casually, give me the homework first, and I'll copy it later."

When the bell rang, Zhu Ting collected her homework and took out her textbook.

In this chemistry class, Tianxin seemed to have a natural obstacle to chemistry. Learning it was quite difficult. "Is chemistry difficult?" Yan Heng looked at Tianxin, who was gloomy.

Tianxin remembered her middle school chemistry teacher. She still remembered her teacher throwing the test paper in her face, "You study chemistry like this, I think you will never learn it well in your life. You have a high score in math but fail in chemistry. Do you have a problem with me?"

In front of the whole class, Tianxin just wanted to find a hole to hide in. She couldn't say a word, held back her tears, and that sentence seemed like a curse. She never did well in chemistry, even the best score was barely a pass.

Later, when she changed chemistry teachers, her performance didn't improve much. That teacher's influence on her was too great.

Tianxin shook her head, "My middle school foundation is not good, so it sounds a bit difficult," the chemistry teacher was a recent graduate student and her teaching was too fast. Sometimes she couldn't understand it at all and had to study for a long time after class. Sometimes she fell into a dead end and couldn't get out, and she felt frustrated.

"My chemistry was very good in middle school. If you want, I can help you with it," Yan Heng offered himself, wishing he could transfer everything in his brain to Tianxin's.

Tianxin was a little moved but also conflicted, "But what about your studies? You just started to improve. Keep studying hard. Your foundation is very good. I believe you won't do poorly this time," she realized that Yan Heng was really smart, and she used to be a top student too. She couldn't be too selfish and hold him back.

"No problem, it's just a small matter. It can help consolidate your knowledge and also be helpful for high school chemistry. You can come to my place on the weekend, and while you're at it, you can also give me math tutoring," said Yan Heng.

"Can we do it in the classroom instead of going to your place?" Tianxin asked. Yan Heng almost forgot about this. It was better to avoid suspicion, and others might say something bad about them. "Okay, let's do it in the classroom. Message me when you're available on Saturday and Sunday," he said.

Tianxin thought her desk mate was really nice. What should she do now? She felt that she could only treat him better.

Tianxin was in a good mood, and the chemistry class didn't seem as hard to endure. The lesson was easy to follow, and it was not as difficult to understand.

After class, Tianxin planned to go to the cafeteria for lunch, but she was pulled out by Yan Heng. "What's good about always eating cafeteria food? Let me take you out for some food," he said.

After saying goodbye to her dormmates, Tianxin followed Yan Heng out of the school gate. A long line of students in blue and white uniforms could be seen leaving the school gate. Some were riding bicycles, and some were in groups. "Why aren't you wearing a uniform, Yan Heng? Is it because the uniform is not good-looking?" Tianxin had been wanting to ask him this question. She had never seen him in a school uniform before.

Yan Heng smiled, "What, do you want to see me in a uniform?" He hadn't worn the uniform since he got it, and it was still in the box.

Tianxin nodded, "Yes, I want to see."

Yan Heng placed his hand on Tianxin's head, "I'm afraid I'll be too handsome and make you faint. But since you want to see it, I'll wear it for you." Wearing a school uniform was no big deal. He could still look incredibly handsome even if he was wearing a curtain.

Tianxin felt strange hearing his words, but she was really looking forward to seeing Yan Heng in a school uniform. A crew cut with a school uniform would be a perfect match.

Tianxin looked at Yan Heng's hair, which had grown longer than when she first saw him. He looked like a completely different person back then, with an air of hostility. However, as they got to know each other, she found him more and more endearing.

"What should we eat?" Tianxin looked around. It seemed to be in the direction of the vocational school. There were shops on both sides of the street and student-rented houses. The breakfast shop had just taken out freshly steamed buns, and a few women were sitting together chatting.

The place was filled with the bustling atmosphere of life. The aroma made Tianxin hungry. "The noodles at Shen's Noodle Shop are especially delicious. You must have never tasted them," said Yan Heng. At the end of the street, there was another street. Tianxin followed Yan Heng as he turned left and saw the noodle shop. It seemed to have been there for a long time. There was a wooden board in front of the restaurant with the words "Shen's Noodle Shop" written in a flamboyant style, along with the menu and prices listed below.

The shop was not large, with a few tables and a few people sitting. Yan Heng asked Tianxin to sit down while he went to order. He ordered two bowls of knife-cut noodles and two side dishes. After paying, Yan Heng heard a girl's voice behind him.

"Give me a bowl of Dragon Beard noodles, thank you," Tan Xiaoyue walked towards the counter, and the cashier smiled and said, "Seven yuan, anything else?"

Yan Heng grabbed a bottle of orange juice, paid, and was about to leave when he heard Tan Xiaoyue's voice.

"What a coincidence. What did you and Tianxin order?" After paying, Tan Xiaoyue stopped Yan Heng.

Yan Heng replied, as a courtesy to Tianxin's roommate, "Knife-cut noodles," and walked inside with the orange juice. Tan Xiaoyue did not mind and followed Yan Heng. Tianxin looked at Tan Xiaoyue in surprise for a moment. She didn't expect to bump into her here.

"Xiaoyue, you're also eating here. Come sit with us," said Tianxin.

Yan Heng remained calm, and Tan Xiaoyue smiled and sat next to Tianxin. The table could seat four people, and Tan Xiaoyue happened to be facing Yan Heng. "Do you come here often, Yan Heng?" asked Tan Xiaoyue.

"Occasionally," Yan Heng replied in an indifferent tone. If it weren't for her roommate, she wouldn't even want to say a word. But Tan XiaoYue refused to give up and kept looking for topics to chat with Yan Heng. "I'm having trouble with math in many places lately. Can you help me take a look? I'm getting nervous because the exam is coming soon," Tan XiaoYue looked at Yan Heng, getting closer to him for the first time. Although he was cold to her, she could not give up. Tianxin listened quietly. Yan Heng moved the orange juice over and said, "Have some orange juice." This girl kept chatting non-stop in his ear. He originally wanted to be alone with Tianxin but was disrupted. Unfortunately, he couldn't get angry. "I'm not thirsty, you drink it," Yan Heng said. Tan XiaoYue felt a little embarrassed and asked, "I'm a bit thirsty. Can I have some?" She looked at Yan Heng cautiously. Yan Heng gave the orange juice to Tan XiaoYue, who smiled and thanked him. Yan Heng went back to get two bottles of green tea. Tianxin stared at the two bottles of green tea in a daze, and the atmosphere became strange. "Number 23's noodles are ready. Two bowls of knife-cut noodles, come and get your food," Yan Heng heard the voice and went to pick up the noodles. "I'm sorry if I interrupted you and Yan Heng," Tan XiaoYue looked guilty. Tianxin felt like she had misunderstood something. "No, we just came to eat," she felt uncomfortable, as she had been happy just a moment ago.
