As the teacher had requested of him, Bai Luo Yin diligently hand-copied the seating arrangement for the 57 students in the class. Then, he passed them out to his classmates one by one. When Gu Hai received the paper, instead of placing it directly on his desk, he merely stared at it for a while.

Since he was small, Gu Wei Ting taught Gu Hai that a person's handwriting could accurately show that person's true character and accomplishments. Bai Luo Yin's handwriting was strong and vigorous, yet yesterday he said many harsh words to him. His handwriting and his character were completely different.

Could it be because of my bad attitude?

Noting that, Gu Hai wanted to test out his theory.

Once the bell rang, Gu Hai walked straight toward the seat in front of Bai Luo Yin's desk (which happened to be You Qi's seat) with his seating list and sat there-watching him quietly.

Since Bai Luo Yin was in a hurry to do his homework, he didn't have time to look up at the person in front of him. It was with that attitude that he ended up ignoring Gu Hai.

A minute later, Gu Hai opened his mouth to speak, revealing a deep and crisp voice.

"This is your handwriting, right?"

At that moment, Bai Luo Yin's brain was still thinking hard, but with just one word from Gu Hai, his train of thought halted. Overwhelmed with anger, he grabbed a nearby ruler and hit Gu Hai's head.

"Do you have something to say? If not, then don't bother me."

Gu Hai looked at Bai Luo Yin's face again. He was right, it did match his handwriting. It doesn't belong to just anyone as there was character to it. If you only looked at his features individually, it doesn't exactly come out. But if you see it altogether, his face was rather unique.

After a long time, Bai Luo Yin was still unaware of Gu Hai's eyes boring through him. He was still struggling with his homework when Gu Hai suddenly pointed to his book and said, "I know how to do this question."

However, Bai Luo Yin immediately grabbed Gu Hai's hand and pushed it off his desk.

"Thank you, but I can do it myself."

With his hand strongly pushed him away and turning slightly red, Gu Hai's face darkened.

"Pick up my ruler for me," Bai Luo Yin commanded.

Gu Hai didn't move.

"Why are you being so difficult? Didn't I just tell you to pick up the ruler? Can't you be a bit faster?"

Giving a glance, Gu Hai unexpectedly complied, picked up the ruler and respectfully gave it back to Bai Luo Yin.

As the bell for class rang, Gu Hai went back to his own seat with a piece of paper that he had torn from Bai Luo Yin's homework in his hand. In truth, he felt an overflowing appreciation for Bai Luo Yin's hard work.
