The questions in the competition class were not too difficult for Ye Weiran. He would complete the task in advance every day, return to the classroom before the school bell, and then go home with Lu Yanxi.
But I wasted a lot of time today.
Because it was teaching and research time every Wednesday, the competition teacher only left exercises for them to complete by themselves.
The discipline of the competition class was relatively free, and everyone had a heated discussion on the last big question.
Some people think that there is nothing wrong with the idea given in the answer, but other people think that the problem should be solved according to another idea. The two parties with different views can't argue.
"Ye Weiran, which method do you think should be used to solve this problem?"
Zhang Yining called Ye Weiran, who had been silent.
"Hiss~" Ye Weiran frowned, "Actually, I also think the answer to this question is wrong."
"You see, Ye Weiran thinks the answer is wrong."
Zhang Yining is more confident in his views.
"But I think there are some problems with the other way of thinking," Ye Weiran continued.
"I think so..."
He walked to everyone with his exercise book and drew on it while explaining his ideas.
At the beginning, some people nodded along with his train of thought, but as he spoke, they became a little confused, and by the time he finished speaking, no one understood.
So Ye Weiran told it again.
This time some people understand, but they still have different opinions.
Cheng Jiexiao expressed her different opinions, which coincided with several of them.
Ye Weiran listened quietly, thinking about how to explain their doubts.
Maybe for top academics like them, finally encountering such a question can easily arouse their desire to study it thoroughly.
No one in the room heard the school bell, or rather they heard it, but quickly forgot about it.
Lu Yanxi waited and waited in the classroom. When all the students on duty had cleaned up and left, she was the only one left in the classroom.
She helped Liu Luo organize the homework papers distributed today, and helped Ye Weiran pack her schoolbag. Finally, she got tired of waiting and wanted to see what was going on with them.
As a result, I saw everyone sitting together in the competition class classroom, Ye Weiran and Cheng Jiexiao arguing with each other.
She didn't understand what he was saying.
Lu Yanxi stood blankly at the door, her hands unconsciously holding the hem of her school uniform tightly.
This was the first time she saw Ye Weiran talking so much to a girl.
Just when she turned around to leave, Liu Luo saw her at the door.
"Xixi, are you here?"
Everyone stopped and turned to look in her direction.
She smiled brightly and was even embarrassed to look at other people carefully.
"Oh, it's okay. You can continue the discussion. I'll go back first."
After turning around and leaving everyone's sight, she let out a long sigh of relief.
Ye Weiran raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. School had been out for half an hour.
"That's it for today. Forget about asking the teacher tomorrow. I'll leave first."
After saying that, he hurriedly packed up his things and didn't finish what he was ready to say to refute Cheng Jiexiao.
When he returned to the classroom, he saw Lu Yanxi reading with his head down. Ye Weiran walked over and snapped his fingers. He sat opposite her and put his head on the table to look at her.
"I'm sorry I didn't notice the school bell. You're not angry after keeping you waiting for so long."
But Lu Yanxi, who was good at first, became unhappy when he heard this.
She raised her eyes, and Ye Weiran couldn't tell what the emotion was in her watery eyes, but it made him feel very distressed.
"Am I so easy to get angry in your mind?" she asked.
"No, I just feel a little sorry for making you wait for so long."
Ye Weiran raised his hand and rubbed her hair.
He didn't know why, why the cute, somewhat naive "little fool" before always looked a little sad recently.
"I'm not angry, go home."
Lu Yanxi didn't understand what was wrong with her. It was the same last time. Why did these words that she didn't care about before make her sad so easily now.
Is it the occasional pretentiousness of adolescent girls?
It wasn't until later that she thought about the scene she just saw many times that she realized that she was starting to feel inferior.
She didn't want Ye Weiran to think that in Ye Weiran's mind, she was just a fool who couldn't fight side by side with him, always holding him back, and only getting angry.
Later, she realized that she had begun to care about the boy she had grown up with.
"Want some cake?"
When passing by a dessert shop, Ye Weiran stopped. Didn't he say that eating sweets would make people happy?
"Um."
Lu Yanxi nodded.
Ye Weiran ordered her the strawberry flavor that she liked, but she said she wanted to eat something bitter today.
The clerk recommended the cocoa mousse cake, and Ye Weiran ordered both.
There were two couples sitting in the shop. One couple was in love and was feeding each other sweetly. The other couple seemed to have a little temper. The boy kept making the girl happy.
Lu Yanxi and Ye Weiran didn't have much communication. You finished two pieces of cake in one bite, and she felt much better.
"Want to help you do your homework?"
Walking downstairs to Lu Yanxi's house, Ye Weiran asked.
Lu Yanxi shook his head, "No need."
"Then go up quickly and I'll watch you go in."
It was already late autumn at the end of October, and the night wind was getting colder. Seeing the lights in her room turn on, Ye Weiran shrank her neck, turned around and walked towards her home.
Lu Yanxi saw a familiar figure slowly moving away from the window. He lowered his head and saw a photo of her, her brother and the three of him on the desk.
I must be really lucky, she thought.
Lu Yanxi was reviewing in the evening, when there was a knock on the door, and Lu Yanchen walked in with a glass of milk. He happened to go home to pick up something today.
"Thank you, brother."
She took the milk, but Lu Yanchen did not leave immediately, but sat down next to her.
"I heard from mom that you ate very little at night and seemed to be worried. Do you want to tell your brother?"
Although Lu Yanchen is usually very cold, he can also be very gentle.
"Brother, do you also feel that you are useless?"
Lu Yanxi spoke cautiously.
Lu Yanchen smiled, "Of course, no one is omnipotent."
"What about? Like when?"
"For example, when a customer orders a warm drink and I serve her a book full of ice cubes, or when someone asks me for help and I don't want to help but am embarrassed to refuse, or when my sister is unhappy but I don't.
When you know how to coax her."
Hearing this, Lu Yanxi was amused by him.
"So you think you are useless?" Lu Yanchen asked.
"Well...that's right, sometimes."
She didn't say anything about Lu Yanxi, but Lu Yanchen understood.
He held her in his arms and touched her head, "My sister has grown up."
