My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn't Need Any Comforting

Chapter 34

During the entire meal, He Shen was completely absent-minded.

Lou Xiao, who also didn’t have much of an appetite, threw him a lollipop.

He Shen glanced at it but made no move to take it.

Lou Xiao passed him a cigarette.

He Shen was even less interested in this, he said, “I’m going back first.”

Lou Xiao: “En.”

Lou Xiao was just about to light a cigarette, when the director of teaching affairs appeared on the other side. The director was rushing over at top speed, looking hell-bent on skinning him alive.

The school tyrant was fast on his feet. With a few quick steps he left behind old man Gao, easily seven or eight meters away.

Old man Gao was utterly exasperated. “Lou Xiao, you wait for me! If I catch you smoking in school again, it will go on your permanent record!”

Regardless of which brand of school tyrant, the “experienced and knowledgeable” teaching director could stand up to him and scare him into fleeing.

Lou Xiao was out of the cafeteria when he remembered the “driven to distraction” He Shen.

En......

Even if he was an old bastard, he was his buddy after all and he should be help him out.

“Hey.” He took out his cell phone and called Wei Jiayu.

Blue Hair was playing a game. He wanted to deliver the killing shot when the saw the words “Xiao Ge” and was forced to abandon him teammates. “Xiao Ge?”

Lou Xiao said, “Are you back at the dormitory?”

Blue Hair looked confused. “Why should I go back to the dormitory?”

He never goes back to the dormitory on Sunday evening. If he has time to play around why shouldn’t he make use of it?

Lou Xiao: “Oh, then go back now.”

Blue Hair: “???”

The school tyrant assigned him a mission and said, “Help me keep an eye on Qiao Shao, the little kid on the bed across from mine.”

Of course, Wei Jiayu knew who Qiao Shao was. He was more perplexed that that poor ghost dared to provoke Xiao Ge.

How stubborn!

“Why?” Wei Jiayu grimly said, “Should I tell you when he comes?”

“No,” Lou Xiao said sincerely and earnestly, “only call me if he cries.”

Wei Jiayu: “.........”

Something about this just doesn’t seem right!

Lou Xiao had already hung up.

Wei Jiayu could hear his in-game teammates cursing him. “F*ck, Lu Ban, are you f*cking offline?”

Wei Jiayu hurriedly finished the game, packed up and asked the driver to take him to school.

After their meal, Qiao Shao and Chen Su went to study the previous term’s notes.

Chen replied, “I took some of them home and I’ll get them during the next day off.”

Qiao Shao looked at the neatly printed notes, and said with admiration. “No rush, these are enough. Your notes are so good.”

Chen Su smiled, “So long as you can understand them.”

More than just being able to understand it, it was almost clear with just a single glance!

When Wei Jiayu came in, he heard Chen Su say to Qiao Shao, “Don’t worry. This time it was only a monthly exam. If you prepare well, you’ll definitely get good results at the end of term exams.”

Qiao Shao was clear on his situation and wasn’t too confident about the next exam, so he whispered, “En.”

Wei Jiayu suddenly realized what was up.

That’s right......

They’d just gotten the results of the monthly exam.

Looks like Qiao Shao got really bad scores?

His voice sounded a little choked, so Xiao Ge was afraid he’d be crying his eyes out?

The problem was though...

Whether this poor ghost cries or not, what does it have to do with Xiao Ge?

Hold it! Back up!

That little poor ghost was white, thin and tender. At first glance he could easily be mistaken for a pretty little girl.

Xiao Ge’s ex-girlfriend was also the delicate and petite type.

It couldn’t be that...no way...don’t tell me...

Wei Jiayu sucked in his breath. He felt that he had just discovered something desperately serious.

That evening, Qiao Shao felt the tension radiating from Wei Jiayu.

Although this blue-haired roommate of theirs was also pretty unhinged normally, it was never anything like this.

Qiao Shao couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter?”

Wei Jiayu: “...”

Qiao Shao was now suspicious, “If you’ve got something to say, then say it.”

When Wei Jiayu pretended not to hear. He turned in bed and wrapped himself in a quilt.

Qiao Shao was speechless, but he didn’t care enough to pay him any mind.

At bedtime, Qiao Shao took out his mobile phone again. He opened WeChat and looked at the only dialog box.

Without Friday: Are you back at the dormitory?

Qiao Shao stared at it for a while but still decided to do nothing.

He has lost all face!

When he thinks about all the things he said...

Qiao Shao buried himself in his quilt and moaned.

I have truly lost all face! I am faceless!

He even suspected the other of playing games all day. So what if he plays? He can still get first place!

Wei Jiayu, who was originally wrapped in his quilt, suddenly poked out his head and called out, “Poor ... Hey, Qiao Shao!”

Qiao Shao was startled and looked up at him.

Wei Jiayu stared at him for a while.

Qiao Shao said blankly, “What?”

Wei Jiayu stared hard at him, looking him over several times. After confirming that he wasn’t crying, he retracted back into his quilt.

Qiao Shao: “...”

Screwball! A complete lunatic!

The next day, Qiao Shao wordlessly transferred one dime to He Shen. He then sent a message, “I’ll eat breakfast by myself.”

He Shen quickly replied to him. “Wait for me. We’ll eat together.”

Qiao Shao didn’t have the courage to face him, so he replied, “No need, I’m going to morning exercises. I’m going to leave my phone in the dormitory.”

He Shen had stayed up all night. After seeing such a message, he really wanted to march to school to drag him out.

Lou Xiao’s words rushed into his head again—‘don’t rush him’.

He Shen lowered his phone and leaned back in his chair, exhaling lightly.

He mustn’t rush.

Qiao Shao’s ankle was basically healed but Old Tang still didn’t allow him to run laps. He only allowed him do some simple exercises to one side.

Qiao Shao didn’t insist but in fact, he really wanted to join in running the laps.

Eat more and exercise more. These were the keys to growing taller!

Not only was he trying to get good academic results, he was also doing his best to grow physically!

Qiao Shao ate breakfast with Chen Su. He then made up some excuse about picking something up in their dorm room. He waited until it was almost time for class before he headed for the classroom.

He Shen waited for him for twenty minutes.

When Qiao Shao saw him, he felt guilty and immediately averted his eyes.

He Shen called out, “Qiao ...”

The bell rang.

Qiao Shao sat ramrod straight and said, “It’s time for class.”

The space between his brows knitted, and He Shen could only swallow the words back.

Qiao Shao was hiding from him.

He Shen, who did not sleep all morning, got such a message.

He was afraid of disturbing Qiao Shao during class, so this wasn’t a good time to talk to him.

When class ended, Qiao Shao chatted with the other students.

Song Yixu, Qiao Shao’s classmate seated in front of him, regarded him as his savior.

“Shao Ge!” Song Yixu said in a kissing-up manner, “I never thought you would be the one to deliver me from my misery!”

Yes, before, Song Yixu was last in the year. This time Qiao Shao seized last place and saved him from its miserable depths.

Qiao Shao wanted to thrash him. “I was just too nervous and made a mistake.”

Song Yixu felt daring enough to joke with him. He also saw that Qiao Shao didn’t care too much about the results. He said, “It’s all right, I know. I also get nervous a lot. I’m so nervous in fact that I almost piss my pants every time.”

Qiao Shao: “...”

He didn’t want to continue such a stinky conversation!

But in order to avoid He Shen, he could only continue to talk with Song Yixu.

He Shen had no chance to talk to Qiao Shao. In the afternoon, he couldn’t hold on any longer and went home to sleep.

Qiao Shao was relieved when he saw that he was away.

It’s too embarrassing, it was really too embarrassing. Whenever he sees He Shen, he remembers all the stupid things he said!

On Tuesday, Qiao Shao continued to hide from He Shen.

The two were seatmates. One would think that it would be impossible for the two to not speak at all. But Qiao Shao was evidently hiding from the other and didn’t give He Shen the chance to be alone with him.

He Shen managed to bear with it until the seventh class.

The whole class left for P.E. and god He Shen, who was slow to wake up, finally couldn’t stand it!

Qiao Shao was nimble and agile. Of course, he wouldn’t miss P.E. class.

On the playground, two Year One classes were both having P.E. class. Song Yixu and Jie Kai are clamoring for a friendly basketball game with Class Six.

Song Yixu approached Qiao Shao and asked him, “Want to join? We just need a guard.”

Considering Qiao Shao’s height, Song Yixu inviting him to join was already demonstrating great loyalty to his friends.

Qiao Shao could do equestrian, fencing, golf, and even shooting. But unfortunately...he really didn’t know how to play basketball!

“Um, I......”

Qiao Shao was thinking how to refuse Song Yixu’s kindness.

Jie Kai also came and said, “Come on, it’ll be a lot of fun.”

Song Yixu also urged him. “Playing basketball is very good for building a good physique, just hopping ...”

The words were suddenly jammed in his throat.

Not only him, the entire Class One quickly grew quiet.

Jie Kai whispered urgently, “What the f*ck, what’s god He Shen doing down here!”

Song Yixu called out boldly: “God He Shen! Come and play basketball! Let’s pound Class Six into the ground together!”

Qiao Shao: “...”

You were inviting me just now. How can you change teammates so fast!

He Shen didn’t look at anyone and walked straight towards Qiao Shao.

Qiao Shao was so guilty that he didn’t dare raise his head.

He Shen grasped his wrist and said, “Come with me.”

His voice was low and carried a trace of coldness.

Qiao Shao couldn’t hide from him anymore, so he could only follow him.

The classmates were divided into two factions. A small group of girls gasped, while the more numerous boys looked at each other helplessly. Then there was, Song Yixu who wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. “Huh, what’s going on?”

He Shen took Qiao Shao to the corner of the playground.

This side was shaded from the sunlight, almost no one came over to this spot.

He Shen stared at Qiao Shao and slowly said, “You ...”

He had managed to say only one word.

Qiao Shao was leaning against the wall, his head hung low and his body taut. He mustered enough courage and rushed to speak, “I’m sorry!”

He Shen froze.
