Novel Full 243 Such an idiot
The summer ended and the city entered a moderate temperature. The days began getting shorter and time for fun too as the monthly tests began.
In the first test, the scores were normal.
Similar things happened in others too.
Suddenly, it was half-yearly exams and students found themselves at their wit ends. Time was moving so fast that they couldn’t almost keep up with school. It was the age where they were learning more from life than textbooks. It was not easy for them to deal with this phase of life.
It was the transition phase of their life. They would be adults in a year and they had to leave this age and their preserved inner child to enter the next phase of their life.
Time was confusing, frustrating and memorable for them. The memories made during this time, lessons learnt, mistakes made and redeemed were going to accompany them throughout their entire life..
It was the last working day of school as half-yearly exams would be starting on Monday. This time, to relieve the students, the school made a rule that the students would only come to school to appear for the three-hour-long exam and then they would leave to prepare for the next exam that would take place after a break of one day. So, it was like one day exam and another day holiday.
“If you don’t understand this problem, take help from Gu Shangyan, “Han Zixin told An Xiulan.
An Xiulan sighed. “He has no time these days. He is always busy with one thing or other. Or he is always on phone. I don’t think he will get time to help me with exams. Plus, he tutors me and Lu Xuan every day for one hour and we don’t fully utilise his time on good things and annoy him instead.”
“Then, you should focus mainly on studies when he is tutoring you, “Han Zixin knocked some senses into her head.
“I know right, “An Xiulan exclaimed. “I don’t understand why I always waste my time when he is teaching us. Something is wrong with my head.”
“Something was always wrong with your head, “Han Zixin rolled his eyes. “It was just that you never understood.”
An Xiulan pouted. “You started picking on me again.”
“When did I pick on you?” Han Zixin raised his brow. He lightly hit her hand. “Stop picking your nose like a dirty girl.”
“What’s wrong with picking my nose? It’s itchy, “An Xiulan replied as she inserted a finger inside her nose. “I had a runny nose for the last few days. You know when the thin liquid sticks and fries on the inside of your nose, it tingles. You won’t understand even if I tell you.”
Han Zixin made a bad face. “Behave like a girl.”
“Hah, now a boy will tell me how a girl should become like one, “An Xiulan sarcastically replied. She held his hand and said in a very sweet voice while batting her eyelashes at him in order to make him fall into her cuteness trap. “Cheat prince, although I don’t have my hot pink glitter eyeliner on, I hope it works on you.”
Han Zixin placed his hand on her face and gently pushed her face away. “Little blockhead, what do you want? Do not butter me up. “
“Tell Xueyun to help me with mathematics, “An Xiulan asked in a cute voice. “We both have mathematics in common along with English and Mandarin. Doesn’t she still teach you these three subjects? I will beg Shen Yue to help me with other subjects.”
“She is your friend, why don’t you ask her?” Han Zixin huffed.
An Xiulan fell silent for a moment. “I think she is ignoring me. She no longer comes to our house. She no longer meets me like she used to. She is just being polite and I don’t like this.”
“Did you ask her why she is ignoring you?” Han Zixin asked her.
An Xiulan shook her head sadly. “I don’t want to force her. I don’t want her to face something that is making her uncomfortable. I will wait for her to be normal like before. I would give her the same treatment as I usually do. If she doesn’t want to be my old bestie, it’s fine. I just hope that I’m not the reason she is uncomfortable.”
“What about your brother?” Han Zixin asked her. “Aren’t they close friends?”
“He is such an idiot, “An Xiulan said through gritted teeth. “He thinks Song Xueyun is normal as she usually is. But I think she is not. She behaves normally with Lu Xuan but she never does things for him like she used to do. Couldn’t he see that she is just treating him like a normal classmate and since I’m not her classmate, I’m not getting the same treatment!”
“Stop worrying about her, “Han Zixin said as he patted her head. “I will ask Xueyun about you. Do you know they moved from their old house?”
An Xiulan gasped. “No, I don’t. I mean, why? And when they moved?”
“Her dad had taken a loan on the house that he had inherited from his parents. It’s a big house in the heart of the city, “Han Zixin informed her. “For Aunt Song’s treatment, they had taken out a loan on that place and put it for rent. The money from the rent will pay the loan instalments and now that all of their loans is paid, they moved back.”
“How do you know?” An Xiulan asked.
“I helped them move, “Han Zixin shrugged. “Yeye said I should help the Song family and I’m glad that I did.”
Moreover, Han Nanxian had requested him to take care of Song Xueyun. He had made a promise and he couldn’t go back on his promise. Plus, Song Xueyun wasn’t a bad person to be his friend. She was sincere, honest and straightforward.
“My brother is really an idiot, “An Xiulan muttered under her breath.
