Chapter 8: Powerlessness

I haven't owned you for a second, and I feel like I've lost it a thousand times.

- Xia Yuyang

When Xia Yuyang walked in from the classroom, Xie Xiaonuan was attacking the exercises, looking stumped, and biting the tip of the pen again.

At this time, Lu Zihao walked up to him and bent down slightly, "Where won't?" I teach you. She was a little surprised, and subconsciously the pen in her hand fell on the exercise, and finally rolled to the ground with a click.

Xia Yuyang's eyes darkened, and he came over to help her pick up the pen and sat in the back row of her.

Xie Xiaonuan looked back at him, he was looking down and flipping through the book, and there was no superfluous expression. So he turned his head and asked Lu Zihao for advice.

When she turned her head and felt the inquiring gaze disappear, Xia Yuyang looked up at her.

A strand of hair unhonestly spread out of the ponytail and landed on her neck, she bowed her head slightly, the curve of her neck was soft and beautiful, and it looked unusually good.

He was a little wrong, "Jingle bell—" The class bell interrupted his thoughts, and he realized what he had just thought, his earlobes were slightly red, and he lowered his head and continued to read.

Lu Zihao glanced at Xia Yuyang deeply and returned to his seat.

"Students, there are 3 days until the countdown to the monthly exam, are you ready? God rewards hard work, and every penny of effort will be rewarded a hundredfold. It's a small exam, but it's not to be overlooked—"

Lao Wang, the head teacher, said earnestly on the stage, the black square-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose reflected the cold light, and his eyes seemed to be pressing, which made people fearful.

Most of the students were silent, and only a few top students confidently met Wang's gaze.

Seeing that he had achieved his expected goal, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he opened the book to tell everyone about article writing and revision.

The school is like this, exams are almost inevitable, the most important thing is to improve the admission rate, save a good reputation for yourself in the coming year, and the cycle repeats.

Xia Yuyang doesn't have to worry, he is a smart student, and his learning efficiency is also very high, and the happiest thing for a top student like him is, of course, the exam.

And Xie Xiaonuan was a little confused, she didn't understand what she was doing with so many poems and songs, and the complex trigonometric functions, which seemed to have nothing to do with her, but when the exam really came, she was a little really out of breath.

Xu Jingjing was immersed in writing hard, and the books beside her were piled up like a mountain, and she was meticulously making up notes for not taking classes well.

Xie Xiaonuan looked at her efforts, sighed and began to take notes.

On the way out of school, a large sunset filled the entire sky, gently shining on every corner of the ground, and there was a soft light everywhere.

Xie Xiaonuan complained that the words had not been fully memorized, and some of the topics were not too thoroughly understood, so he raised his foot and kicked the stone under his feet to get angry.

Yu Yang stopped and looked at her, and said for a long time, it seems that you really can't do without me. Yu Yang's voice in the wind was a little hoarse and low, and Xiao Nuan's heart suddenly moved.

Looking up at him in a daze, the light of the sunset cut down, as if kissing his cheek.

Xiao Nuan recently felt that Yu Yang's eyes were very gentle, whether it was when she was talking about the topic or between words, it made her feel very comfortable.

A fallen leaf fell on her shoulder, and he gently took it for her.

He was still as good to her as ever, helping her, and caring for her.

As if possessed, Xiao Nuan said softly, yes, I can't do without you.

Yu Yang was slightly stunned and laughed.

Can't do without, can't do without, pun intended.

The day before the monthly exam, Xie Xiaonuan was dying on her desk, and the many exercises were a big disaster for her.

A sentence I just learned in the past few days, "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their bones, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and mess up their actions......"

It's a true portrayal of her, the desk is piled with scratch paper, and after Xiao Nuan stared at the ceiling for a long time, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally she fell asleep.

When Xie's mother came in with milk, she saw such a scene: the scratch paper was scattered all over the ground, and Xiao Nuan was sleeping on the math book, and her saliva was flowing out.

Mother Xie was a little distressed, found a blanket to drape on her, and quietly went out.

The exam came as scheduled, but Xiao Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, and accepted it calmly no matter what the result was.

On the way back to the classroom from the examination room, Xiao Nuan was alone.

"Xie Xiaonuan—" Xiaonuan looked back, it was Lu Zihao. "How's it going?" Lu Zihao quickly caught up, smiled kindly at her, and asked first.

"It should be fine." Xiao Nuan's tone was relaxed.

After Xiao Nuan and Xia Yuyang's anger a few days ago, she warned herself to be calm, so she studied in the stacks of books all day long, and she felt that she was handy at doing the questions.

Crush crush is an unspeakable liking in the bottom of my heart. Before she knew Xia Yuyang's thoughts, she didn't want to express her intentions first.

If he doesn't like himself......

How ...... that would be Shameless......

Lu Zihao saw Xiao Nuan's distraction, stretched out his hand and waved in front of her, Hey, come back to your senses. Xiao Nuan was a little surprised.

Xia Yuyang was walking behind, and seeing Lu Zihao's slightly side face full of smiles, she nodded slightly, chuckling from time to time.

He stood in the wind, his hair was a little messy, but he didn't tidy it up for a long time, and an indescribable taste came to his heart, astringent.

When the test results were announced, Xiao Nuan took the tenth place in the class for the first time, especially in mathematics, which was 108 points, which was very good.

The first place is Lu Zihao, the second place is Xia Yuyang, and Song Yiyi is the fifth place, which is also what she expected.

quietly retired more than a dozen, crying in the dark on the way home, Xiao Nuan handed her a tissue, but she didn't know how to comfort her, and she didn't dare to ask her why, just hugged her.

Maybe being inconsoled when she's sad is the greatest comfort, let her cry for herself, Xiao Nuan thought.

Lao Wang announced the system that top students can choose their own tablemates, starting according to the first place.

Lu Zihao first chose to share the table with Xie Xiaonuan, and in front of everyone, she couldn't refuse, anyway, there was no harm, so she simply agreed.

When Xia Yuyang was silent, Song Yiyi found him: "Classmate Xia Yuyang, can I sit at the same table with you?" I don't mean anything else, I just think we can learn from each other and improve each other. ”

Looking at Song Yiyi's sincere and clear eyes, Xia Yuyang felt that it didn't matter, so he agreed.

So, Lu Zihao and Xie Xiaonuan, Xia Yuyang and Song Yiyi became the same table one after another, and the classmates vaguely smelled a strange atmosphere, but they couldn't tell the reason.

Xia Yuyang looked at the two people sitting in the first row who were talking and laughing, and suddenly felt a little sad.

His power was too small to do anything for her, and even if he did, she was not necessarily willing to accept it.

It's the first time I've felt such a ...... Powerless.
