When he heard these words spoken in a low voice close to his ears, Yu Rui was taken aback and froze. After a few seconds of pause, he finally came to his senses, and slowly raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him.
Yu Rui almost squeezed the words between his teeth, “You’re a damn pervert, aren’t you Xie Li?”
“Tsk…” Xie Li laughed instead of getting angry, in a pleasant tone, “Didn’t you already know that, Class President?”
Yu Rui was speechless.
… Even if he knew, he never thought that this person would get to the point where he could say such things in the classroom.
Xie Li wanted to say something else, but he saw the annoyance in Yu Rui’s gaze suddenly suppressed. Instead, a gentle mood emerged.
Xie Li noticed something, straightened up, turned his head, and looked back.
Two girls from the class approached side by side, with wary expressions. When they saw Xie Li, who was leaning on Yu Rui’s desk, they turned around, both looking puzzled. The shadow that Xie Li had brought to the classroom the night before had not completely dissipated.
Yu Rui calmly pushed the long legs of Xie Li, who was half sitting on the desk, and then asked the two girls, “Do you need anything?”
“Class President, can we borrow your notes from the math exam?”
“What do you want them for?” Without waiting for Yu Rui to say anything, Xie Li gave them a lazy glance.
The girl on the left hesitated and said, a little embarrassed, “We want to check the answers to the multiple-choice questions, and the Class President’s multiple-choice answers are always the correct ones.”
Xie Li, “With 12 choices, it’s not necessary, is it?”
The girls choked.
“Besides…” Xie Li added indifferently, “… you guys are late, he lent them to me.”
Yu Rui raised his eyes and scratched Xie Li, obviously meaning “when did I do it?”
Xie Li smiled, not hearing Yu Rui’s refusal made him feel even happier, and he couldn’t help but curl his lips.
Yu Rui no longer bothered to pay attention to him, and once his smile appeared in his eyes, he turned to the two embarrassed girls, “Would you like a copy of the answers?”
“Yes! Yes, thank you, Class President!” Said another girl quickly.

“d-a-a-a-c-b-a, c-a-a-a-a-d-b.”
The two girls looked confused.
Xie Li frowned, suppressing his impatience, “The answers.”
One of the girls replied and blushed, “Ah… Are those your answers, fellow Xie Li?”
“Hmm.”
“You’re amazing, you have the answers memorized….”
“If you don’t believe me…” Xie Li looked at Yu Rui with a smirk, then bowed and rested his elbows on his knees lazily, “…. Class President, am I right?”
Yu Rui’s smile remained unchanged, and he only gave Xie Li a slight warning glance.
Then he lowered his head and showed the paper.
“Well, my answers are the same as yours.”
The girl spoke in embarrassment, “Xie Li, can you repeat them? I didn’t memorize them.”
Xie Li impatiently repeated the answers.
Only when he saw that the two girls had turned away, did he turn around?
“Class President, you’re a girl magnet.”
Yu Rui ignored him, only lowered his eyes, and gestured with his chin, indicating someone’s hand resting on the back of his hand, “Take it off.”
Xie Li lowered his eyes and smiled, “Do you need me to help you before the exam?”
“No need.”
“Tsk.”
“And…” Yu Rui raised his eyes and looked at Xie Li coldly, “…are you sure you know what the next exam is?”
Xie Li was stunned. He didn’t know, he didn’t look at the exam schedule, and the order of the exams didn’t matter to him in senior and sophomore exams, where there wasn’t a large amount of knowledge. The order of the exams didn’t matter to him.
Yu Rui read the answer in Xie Li’s expression.
Yu Rui looked at Xie Li in a somewhat complex manner, then lowered his head to check the English words and phrases on the notes in front of him.
“Next session, English exam.”
Xie Li raised his eyebrows slightly, “That look you just gave me was one of displeasure?”
“No.”
“Then what is it?”
“….”
“What is it?”
“….”
Yu Rui was so annoyed by Xie Li that he couldn’t take it anymore, he raised his head a little and wanted to explode, but he finally gritted his teeth and restrained himself after seeing the occasional glances from the class.
Yu Rui lowered his voice, almost helplessly, “Can’t you treat me like them?”
“Them, who?”
Yu Rui lifted his chin slightly, “For example, why didn’t you do this when those two classmates came just now?”
Yu Rui hesitated for a moment, but still frowned and said, “Meddling in other people’s business.”
Xie Li thought seriously after hearing this, but smiled, “I don’t know. But I can’t help it.”
Yu Rui, “….”
Xie Li returned to the question, “Then, that look you just gave. If not displeasure, what does it mean?”
Yu Rui resigned himself to his fate, lowering his gaze and flipping through the pages, “Just envy and jealousy.”
Xie Li was surprised.
“You’re supposed to have the highest IQ of anyone I’ve ever met. Your math and science grades are adequate to directly participate in all kinds of competitions….. but you don’t even bother to come to exams, and you’d be even less likely to go to that kind of specialized competition class, right?”
Yu Rui said coolly as he quickly skimmed through his notes. His tone was calm as he said these words, obviously without any intention to flatter or tease.
Xie Li smiled, “Looks like you’ve decided that you can’t beat me in these matters.”
Yu Rui gave him a cold look but did not deny it.
“Then I will make a request.” Xie Li said, “For my birthday, October 10th, I want to add a condition to the gift I said last time.”
“What condition?”
“The gift can’t be bought.” Xie Li smiled.
Yu Rui frowned, apparently deliberating on Xie Li’s hidden intentions.
Xie Li didn’t give him much time to think, changing the conversation, “Why have you suddenly given up, Class President?”
“…. I haven’t given up.” Yu Rui looked up, “Recognizing and admitting the gap is the first step to solving the problem. I only said you were smart enough, but I didn’t mention anything else. The qualifications you can get through with just your mind, I can get them through hard work.”
Xie Li, “Then I can take that as you coming to ‘chase’ me.”
Yu Rui stared at him for a few seconds, but suddenly smiled, “Life is never determined by the results of an exam or a few subjects: in the present, and based on the individual ‘comprehensive scores’ we have achieved and the distance we have traveled, it is not sure who is chasing whom.”
This smile was full of toughness, the usual soft and harmless disguise was removed, and the great pride and self-respect, and youthful spirit were so clearly revealed that Xie Li could hardly look away.
After a while, Xie Li lowered his head and laughed hoarsely.
“No, it’s a certainty.”
“??”
“Definitely…” Xie Li bowed with a smile, “…I’m chasing you.”
Oh my, acknowledging anyone besides Yu Rui and answering their questions? Someone is slipping ☺️
Thanks for the chapter
