I Won't Stop You From Looking at the Handsome Guy

Meng Qingqing liked dolls, and her dream was to become a doll designer. However, even though dolls were so small, they could make people go bankrupt. Therefore, Meng Qingqing could not make ends meet with her monthly allowance and had to rely on Xu Li's help to survive. During the two months when Xu Li's allowance was cut off, she had also eaten instant noodles for two months, until her face was sallow.

Grade 12, Class 1 was the school's most important class. After school, it was later than the other classes. When Xu Li and Meng Qingqing arrived outside the classroom, Class 1's math teacher was still explaining the questions on the podium. Class 1's math teacher was a woman in her thirties. Her name was Long Long and she had a forthright personality. She was in charge of teaching Mathematics for Class 1 and Class 9. The students of Class 1 and Class 9 also called her "Sister Long".

Long Long finished the last question and walked out of the classroom with the test paper. When she saw Xu Li and Meng Qingqing, she stopped in her tracks. "Why are you here?"

"I'm looking for someone." Xu Li glanced at Class One, but she didn't see anyone handsome. Long Long noticed her actions and looked over. "Who are you looking for?"

Xu Li replied, "Lu Peian."

Long Long raised her eyebrows. "Hey, are you here to settle scores with someone?"

Xu Li pointed at herself, "Sister Long, do you think I'm such a petty person?"

Long Long laughed. "It's all Zhang Jian's fault. He's showing off in the office that he's finally tricked you. Lu Peian really can't be blamed for this. He didn't know that you have such a big bet about the first place in the cohort."

Xu Li was the best in mathematics in all subjects, so Long Long treated her exceptionally well.

Meng Qingqing hooked her arm around Xu Li's shoulder and teased Long Long, "Sister Long, you've fallen for someone else so quickly. You're always speaking up for that transfer student. How is our Xu Li inferior to that transfer student, Lu Peian?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean by falling for someone else?" Long Long smiled and patted Meng Qingqing. Then, she looked at Xu Li. "You and Lu Peian are my treasures now. Xu Li, you made a mistake in your math multiple-choice question in this midterm exam. Did you not do a checkup? You could have gotten full marks."

"Yes, I made the wrong choice," Xu Li said. From the corner of her eye, she saw a boy coming out of Class One. He was tall and thin, with handsome facial features. He wore a pair of rimless glasses and a wide blue and white school uniform. He looked exceptionally youthful when he wore it.

Xu Li did not know why, but a line suddenly appeared in her mind: A gentleman is like jade.

"Xu Li, Xu Li, are you listening to me?" Long Long waved her hand in front of Xu Li's eyes.

Just as Xu Li was about to apologize, Meng Qingqing nudged her shoulder suggestively and teased Long Long, "Aiyo, Sister Long, didn't you see how engrossed Xu Li was with the pretty boy? She didn't even hear what you were saying."

Long Long looked at them in amusement. "Alright, I'll leave first. I won't stop you from looking at handsome guys." She was not worried that Xu Li would do anything to Lu Peian. After all, she had taught Xu Li for more than a year and knew her personality. Although Xu Li was notorious, she had never fought in school or bullied the students. Usually, when she saw the teachers in school, she would greet them politely.

In Long Long's heart, she had never associated Xu Li with someone who loved to fight. That was until one time when she passed by an alley on her way home. She saw Xu Li pulling a boy's hair and knocking him into the wall expressionlessly. Her eyes were cold, unlike the expression of a sixteen-year-old girl.

At that time, Long Long felt the fierceness beneath Xu Li's polite appearance… but this did not affect Long Long's good impression of Xu Li. After all, although Xu Li did not like to listen to lectures in class, her grades were among the best. Others said that she had fought outside the school, but she had never caused trouble in school. She liked to play games, but she had never skipped classes.

As a teacher, Long Long knew that one should not learn from others about a student's character. Instead, one should look at what they had done.

After Long Long left, Meng Qingqing followed Xu Li's line of sight and saw a slender figure. She nudged Xu Li's arm. "Is this Lu Peian?"

"I think so." Xu Li followed Lu Peian. When she turned around, Meng Qingqing was still standing there in a daze. She raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and keep up!"

"Oh, oh!" Only then did Meng Qingqing come to her senses. She jogged to catch up with Xu Li. Seeing that Xu Li was still walking unhurriedly, she suddenly became anxious. She grabbed Xu Li's arm and ran. "Why are you so slow? If you delay any longer, we'll lose him!"
