Stop Chasing the School Belle, My Shy Deskmate is Sweet and Soft - Chapter 94

Time flew by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was May 31st, just one week before the gaokao.

As the summer heat intensified, the weather became unbearably hot. Just standing still made people sweat, leaving them feeling sticky and uncomfortable.

With the gaokao approaching, Beian felt like a steaming oven.

Many students, struggling with difficult problems in class, found themselves sweating profusely, instinctively adjusting their posture to cope.

After the lunch break that day, Xia Tian walked out of the bathroom yawning.

As he walked, he nonchalantly tugged at the part of his pants stuck in his butt crack.

Just as he was about to reach the classroom door, he ran into Qiao Shaoxuan.

Xia Tian glanced at him, not even bothering to give him a second look.

But feeling the contempt in Xia Tian’s gaze, Qiao Shaoxuan couldn’t hold back.

“Xia Tian, try looking at me with that look again!”

“What’s it to you? We’re adults now; if you want to fight, just do it. No need for empty words.”

Xia Tian looked completely indifferent.

Qiao Shaoxuan’s face turned red with anger, his neck straining.

“You… hmph, gentlemen use words, not fists. Who wants to fight you?”

“Oh, well, I’m not a gentleman. If you don’t hit me, I just might hit you.”

With that, Xia Tian suddenly raised his hand, making Qiao Shaoxuan step back in fright, hitting his head on the wall.

Two passing girls covered their mouths, giggling.

Xia Tian also burst into laughter.

This guy couldn’t win a fight and couldn’t even win an argument. His ID card might as well say “Joker.”

“Keep laughing! When you get home tonight, I guarantee you won’t be laughing anymore! In this world where connections matter, your dad is just a poor worker. Someone can easily make him lose his job!”

“Sorry, I’ve never claimed to be a rich second generation. I’m a rich first generation.”

“Fine, I’m done talking. You’ll be crying tonight—consider it an early Children’s Day gift.”

Qiao Shaoxuan snorted and returned to his classroom.

Xia Tian frowned.

Something was off about Qiao Shaoxuan today.

Since he had Qiao Shaoxuan thrown out of the Heartbreak Museum, he hadn’t seen him act up at school.

Did this guy have a confidence boost at lunch?

Threatening that he’d be crying tonight?

Xia Tian looked up at the blazing sun and suddenly understood.

The sky had cleared, the rain stopped, and the fool thought he could do something.

“Little Ye, tomorrow is Children’s Day. What gift do you want?”

Xia Tian leaned on his desk, feeling drowsy.

But looking at Ye Ningyu’s profile, her serene eyes and smooth skin, he couldn’t bear to waste the moment.

Ye Ningyu was taken aback, staring blankly.

“I-I’m an adult now. Children’s Day is for kids.”

“It doesn’t matter. You’ll always be a child to me… If you can’t think of anything you want, I’ll just pick something out.”

“Um… Then… Can I give you a gift too?”

Little Ye looked nervously at Xia Tian.

She had always wanted to give Xia Tian a small gift but never knew what reason to use.

Children’s Day seemed like the perfect opportunity!

“No, I’m not a child.”

“But… why am I a child, and you’re not?”

Xia Tian propped his chin up and glanced under the table, smirking.

“Because I’m 18. How can a child be 18 centimeters?”

“?”

Little Ye looked at him, puzzled.

“Isn’t it supposed to be eighteen years old? Why eighteen centimeters?”

“Never mind.”

“Oh, then… I still want to give you a gift. Please don’t refuse.”

Little Ye was insistent, pouting slightly in a pleading manner.

Xia Tian was about to refuse again, not wanting her to spend money.

But Li Jiahui, who sat in front of them, couldn’t stand it any longer.

She turned around, glaring at Xia Tian, and almost growled through gritted teeth.

“You! Are! Not! Allowed! To! Refuse! Her!”

Since Li Jiahui had moved to the desk in front of Xia Tian and Ye Ningyu, she often eavesdropped on their conversations.

Sometimes the things she overheard made her blush.

Xia Tian, that shameless guy.

Taking advantage of Ye Ningyu’s naivety, he would make suggestive comments.

The “eighteen centimeters” joke was lost on Ye Ningyu, but Li Jiahui understood perfectly.

Had she not seen that Xia Tian genuinely liked Ye Ningyu, she would have slapped him.

“Oh wow, Li Jiahui, no shame eavesdropping on us.”

Xia Tian smirked, surprised that she had overheard.

Li Jiahui sneered, mocking him.

“Xia Tian, I never realized you had such a thick skin. If you want to give a gift, just do it. Why do you have to tease Ningyu?”

“What did I do? I said I’m eighteen, so I’m not a child. What’s wrong with that?”

“Can you say that with a straight face again? Were you talking about your age?”

Xia Tian looked shocked, staring at Li Jiahui.

Damn!

Li Jiahui, you’re clever. I always thought you were innocent; didn’t expect you to get it!

Alright, alright, I’ve got to label you a little perv!

But with a face as thick as a wall, Xia Tian would never admit he wasn’t talking about age.

“Li Jiahui, you don’t believe in my integrity?”

“What integrity? Stop denying it. You were teasing Ningyu, taking advantage of her!”

“How dare you! Why wouldn’t I dare say it again?”

Then he looked seriously at the pure and “naive” Ye Ningyu.

“Little Ye, come here. Let me say it again with my hand on your heart!”

Ye Ningyu: qaq

Li Jiahui: (o_o)

Before the two girls could react, Xia Tian glanced at Ye Ningyu’s chest.

He made a measuring gesture, then shook his head, muttering to himself.

“Tsk, still not right… How can a little girl be 36D?”
