My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn't Need Any Comforting
Chapter 66

Chapter 66

“Is there still any need to check this?” Chen Su looked at him, and said coldly, “Did you even get a single one of these right?”

Wei Jiayu: “...”

Qiao Shao resisted as long as he could. He laughed and said, “Wai Jiayu, can you do it?”

He’s never known Chen Su to have such a vicious tongue.

Wei Jiayu was furious. “I’m paying you for these lessons, so what’s with your f*cking attitude?”

Chen Su was so vexed he didn’t even want to argue. “Then let’s stop these lessons.”

Wei Jiayu was choked half to death. “I’m f*cking ... F*cking ...” If it weren’t for subsidizing your family, would I f*cking ask you for these lessons!

But this cannot be said. If he did, this four-eyes would strike him dead on the spot.

Qiao Shao came over trying to make peace, saying, “Okay, okay. Everyone, just cool down. Tutoring lessons are a good thing, why is the smell of gunpowder so strong?”

Chen Su didn’t say anything.

Wei Jiayu stopped himself from going too far.

Qiao Shao said, “Chen Su, try not to be so fierce with him. Look at He Shen. He always talks to me gently.” Although it’s always nonsense.

Who knew it would provoke these two to speak up at the same time–

Chen Su: “Can he compare with you?”

Wei Jiayu: “Can he compare with Shen Ge?”

As a result, Wei Jiayu was driven even more furious. “Four-eyed Chen, tell me clearly just how I could be worse than Qiao Shao!”

Just looking at the results of the last monthly exam, Wei Jiayu was dozens of points higher than Qiao Shao!

Chen Su said expressionlessly, “Qiao Shao completes his homework carefully every time. What about you?”

Wei Jiayu countered, “My brother Shen Ge teaches him step-by-step every time, what about you!”

Chen Su sneered. “Then go to your brother Shen Ge.”

Wei Jiayu: “I ...”

Seeing that his persuasion failed, Qiao Shao hurriedly said, “Take it easy. Don’t worry, everyone is different. He Shen doesn’t have Chen Su’s attention to detail and I don’t have the flexibility of Wei Jiayu’s mind, anyway ... ”

Who knew that the two would once again speak up at the same time-

Chen Su: “You are a hundred times smarter than he is.”

Wei Jiayu: “Shen Ge is a thousand times more careful than he is!”

Realizing that a thousand times was much stronger than a hundred times, Wei Blue Hair was very proud of himself.

Qiao Shao: “.........”

Fine. It looks like you guys enjoy quarrelling. I’m no longer going to get involved in this!

Later, two more goods who failed to live up to expectations came to 516.

That’s right, Song “silly husky” Yixu and his close male friend.

As soon as Song Yixu entered the door, he rushed to Qiao Shao. “Shao Shao, have you finished your homework? Emmie see emmie see!”

So long as He Shen wasn’t around, Song Yixu would act very cheeky towards Qiao Shao.

Qiao Shao stared at him. “Who are you calling Shao Shao?”

Song Yixu tried to kiss up to him. “Shao Ge!”

Qiao Shao was dumbfounded. “The homework won’t be due until tomorrow. You can just answer it now.”

Song Yixu: “There’s no time, no time. Da Kai and I will have a ball game in a while. If we don’t hurry up and copy it now, it will be too late tomorrow!”

Wei Jiayu, who was forced to rewrite his homework, raised his head. “See, at least I’ve finished my homework. These two haven’t even written down a single word. So what the f*ck were you scolding Laozi for!”

Chen Xu raised his eyes and looked at him. “I don’t care about them, I’m only responsible for you.”

Wei Jiayu paused and cursed, “Damn it!”

This world was truly poisonous. Looks like the customer isn’t always right.

Qiao Shao didn’t let Song Yixu and Jie Kai copy his homework. He insisted on explaining to them how to solve the problems. He treated it as a form of review for him as well.

Song Yixu and Jie Kai were once again sweet naïve young men. No matter what entered their heads, they all became question marks. These pairs of eyes were clearly saying, ‘Shao Ge, please do us a favor and let us peacefully copy your homework!’

Qiao Shao found that tutoring was really was a superhuman feat, and he gave up after insisting for half an hour.

The two failed goods began to copy. Qiao Shao sighed. It’s not easy, He Shen and Chen Su both haven’t got it easy!

The eighth class on Thursday was set aside for club activities.

Qiao Shao sat nervously in the classroom, waiting for the president to publish the assessment questions in the club’s chat group.

Normally, the Mathematics Society does not use this weekday class time. After all, it was an online community, and the topics were posted in the group chat. There was no set time.

However, in order to ensure that the selection for the league competition would be fair, it was required for everyone to do the questions during this class time.

Qiao Shao once doubted the wisdom of conducting the exam online. Weren’t they afraid someone would cheat?

Later he understood ...

It’s no small feat to be able to replace these questions from a sea of topics in such a short time.

Besides, at the end of it all, this competition was more for the fun of hobbyists that anything else.

Of course, what He Shen said was also very incisive. “Also, they’re poor.”

The Mathematics Society was so poor that it had no funds to organize an assembly. And the league of high school mathematics society also carried on this ‘poor’ persona suffered by every Mathematics Society. It was so poor, it didn’t have the funds to book a venue for the competition.

Fortunately, the internet was developed and this group of poor students utilized the internet to help them shine.

Qiao Shao was moved. “They really haven’t got it easy.”

After a while, when his situation gets a lot better, he must talk to his dad, and discuss with him about funding East High’s club activities, especially these good clubs like the Mathematics Society, Physics Society, and Chemistry Society ...

Thankfully, the students of East High didn’t know what this bigshot was thinking. Had they known, they might have come begging on their knees for this to think more clearly!

He Shen was beside him to accompany him. “Are you nervous?”

Qiao Shao pretended to be relaxed and said, “What’s there to be nervous about? It’s not the final exam.”

Speaking of, there’s only half a month before the final exam... Now, that was something to be nervous about!

He was afraid he would fail the exam, and Teacher He would break off all relations with him in a fit of anger.

He Shen reached out and rummaged about Qiao Shao’s table drawer.

Qiao Shao moved back to give him more room. “What are you doing?”

He Shen found it. “It’s not a formal exam room either so, how about you put on your earphones?”

Qiao Shao froze.

The slim headphones hung from He Shen’s fingertips, like a seductive siren.

Qiao Shao’s heart thundered in his chest.

He Shen scrutinized his earphones. “Later, I’ll buy you a new pair of earphones.”

Qiao Shao got this pair as a complementary gift when he bought his phone and it was of inferior quality.

But Qiao Shao didn’t care. He doesn’t need for them to have good sound quality. For him, the noisier the better. In fact, he wouldn’t touch those expensive noise-canceling headphones.

“I’m fine with this. They’re very useful.”

In the end, Qiao Shao couldn’t resist the temptation and snatched the earphones.

He Shen thought, ‘It’s because you’ve never used better.’

But it’s okay, in the future, he will give him all the good things in the world.

Fortunately, Qiao Shao couldn’t read minds, otherwise he might have forced He Shen to sober up!

Once he had the earphones on, the assessment exam was also released.

Qiao Shao set down his phone and focused on the problems.

The questions were published one by one, and the submission of the answers were also time-limited. The cut off time was very accurate, which limited cheating to the greatest extent.

He Shen didn’t go anywhere. He sat next to him and watched him answer the questions.

The child sat with his back straight. The black earphone cord dangled from his small ears to his neck, accentuating how white and slender it was.

What He Shen wanted to say before was — tofu was never as tender. But silken tofu could just barely be an adequate comparison. The sweet and soft kind.

Sigh. He Shen, looked away and watched him solve the problems.

Although, Qiao Shao couldn’t solve the questions quickly, he was very steady. He could definitely submit the answers within the given time, and the accuracy rate was extremely high.

Because he’d been tutoring him for the more than a month already, He Shen could very accurately gauge Qiao Shao’s level. There may be a few subjects that he was relatively weak at, but for English, Chinese and Math, he had a solid foundation. His previous approach had been a bit incorrect, but after He Shen organized it for him, he should have no problem keeping up. With his level, so long as he performs normally, Qiao Shao should have no problem getting into the top ten for the final exams.

For a child who works this hard to not get that kind of grade was highly unjustifiable.

However......

He Shen has always felt that the reason why Qiao Shao failed to pass the exam was not because he had missed a lot of lesson. Instead there must be deeper reasons.

For example, his intense conflict to the word “mother”.

The reason why he encouraged him to participate in the assessment of the Mathematics Society was also to be able to confirm his guess.

When the bell rang, Qiao Shao had completed all the questions.

He turned to He Shen and said, “What a coincidence! The last two questions were similar to the ones you taught me the other day!”

He Shen smiled. “Do you want to know your score?”

Qiao Shao was speechless. “You know already?”

He Shen said, “Of course.”

He’d watched it completely from start to end. How could he not know?

Qiao Shao was curious, but he held back. “Don’t tell me, I’ll wait for the announcement from the club.”

He Shen agreed, “OK.”

Qiao Shao snuck a glance at him. His heart felt tickled.

He felt that he had done well so his score shouldn’t be too bad ...

What he didn’t know was that the discussion group for the “Executive” of the Mathematical Society had already exploded!

Top Pillar: “I told you he was the North Star of our East High!”

Former President: “F*ck, full marks!”

Former Former President: “The last two questions are very difficult. Pillar, you smuggled in your own questions!”

Top Pillar: “If I didn’t increase the difficulty a bit, how can we properly demonstrate the greatness of our North Star!”

Former President: “Hmmm, what you say is true.”

Former Former President: “When you guys get to High School third year, our East High will definitely dominate S City.”

Top Pillar said solemnly, “I think the top three places for the college entrance exams is now as good as ours.”

Former President: “There’s no doubt about first place. This North Star will have no problem getting second, but who’s the third?”

Top Pillar said shamelessly: “Apart from me, who else in East High deserves to be considered their equal?”

Two former presidents: “...” Top Pillar? Who’s that? They don’t know any junior schoolmate who’s that stinky and shameless.

The official announcement of the results would take a while. After all, so many people participated in the assessment, and all the scores needed to be added up. Moreover, the officers of the club were all students, and they needed to focus on their studies. It wouldn’t be until the weekend before they could sort it out.

Qiao Shao wasn’t that curious at first, but just the thought that He Shen already knew his score a long time ago, got him dying from curiosity. Especially since this guy loved to keep people in suspense. From time to time, he would shoot him meaningful looks. Qiao Shao felt like a nest of ants had taken residence in his heart, making it unbearably itchy.

At dinner, Qiao Shao ate absent-mindedly, constantly sending glances at He Shen.

He Shen came over and said, “If you keep looking at me like this, I won’t be able to help myself.”

Qiao Shao: “!”

He Shen said unhurriedly “How about tonight ...”

“No!” Qiao Shao insisted, “It’s already the weekend tomorrow.”

He Shen said, “Okay, then you’ll just have to bear it.”

Qiao Shao has been bearing with it — until he just couldn’t bear it any longer. He put down his chopsticks and said, “You, you come with me.” He didn’t want to ask in front of Lou Xiao and Wei Jiayu. In case he had a bad score, wouldn’t he be shamed to death!

He Shen’s lips hooked up. “Can’t bear it?”

Qiao Shao said uncomfortably, “Are you coming or not!”

He Shen’s voice was all patient indulgence. “Coming.”

The two left together, and Lou Xiao and Wei Jiayu remained at the table: “...”

Just what the hell are you two ‘bearing’? What is it that you can’t endure anymore?

Wei Blue Hair looked at Lou Xiao. “Is, is it what I think it is?”

The dead-eyed school tyrant: “What else?”

Wei Blue Hair was dead.
