The news of Wu Hongwen going to the parallel class to see a girl had already spread through First City High like wildfire, and naturally, Gu Xijin had gotten wind of it too. During lunch break, she walked over to Wu Hongwen with her tray of food. “I heard you gave a girl in the parallel class a love letter this morning?”

 One of Wu Hongwen’s friends saw the prettiest girl in class coming over and immediately opened up space for her to sit.

 “It was nothing.” Wu Hongwen looked down and ate his food quietly, evidently not wanting to dwell on this topic before he suddenly raised his head. “That letter of Gu Xiqiao’s, did she say anything when she asked you to hand it to me?”

 Gu Xijin’s smile froze on her face, not expecting this matter to be brought up suddenly. “It has already been two weeks, I don’t remember.”

 Seeing that she replied so ambiguously, Wu Hongwen glanced at her before finishing his food and leaving.

 Seeing him leave, Gu Xijin’s hand that was hiding under the table gripped tightly, her nails digging into her palms.

 Why didn’t anything work on this guy? She had already gotten everyone in the rocket class to fall in love with her, but none of her schemes worked on Wu Hongwen, how infuriating!

 Gu Xiqiao ate lunch together with Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun had always been cold and aloof, not mingling much with the other students in their class while Gu Xiqiao was practically an invisible person, and practically everyone’s jaws dropped in shock when they saw the unlikely duo eat and even go to the toilet together.

 There were two hours of lunch break, and classes resumed at two in the afternoon. Gu Xiqiao had just returned to her seat and taken out her papers before one of the boys told her that Old Ban (the class teacher) was looking for her.

 “Careful. Old Ban probably caught news of what happened this morning.” Xiao Yun looked up from her revision books and reminded them.

 Gu Xiqiao nodded and pressed her papers down with her books. “I understand.”

 Because it was still early, there weren’t any teachers in the teacher’s office.

 Old Ban put down the red pen in his hand and told her to close the door and sit on the chair opposite of him, before taking a leisurely sip of tea and asking, “You’re the female protagonist of the news from this morning?”

 Gu Xiqiao blinked innocently. “Did anything happen this morning? I was too busy studying that I didn’t notice it…”

 “Pff-!” Old Ban almost choked on his mouthful of tea and almost spit it out, the action making Gu Xiqiao look at him in concern.

 “Don’t act coy, Student Gu. The class teacher of the rocket class even came to me earlier for this! I can’t micromanage you young people, but there’s only one month left until your exams. Don’t think that thirty-one days is a long time, the days go by faster than you can blink! I won’t control you, children, after you finish your exams.” Old Ban rolled his eyes, making her know that he didn’t believe in the bull she had spouted.

 Gu Xiqiao looked at him solemnly, the very image of a good student as she listened to him attentively. Upon seeing her attitude, Old Ban sighed softly, losing any intention of chewing her out any further.

 He sat up straight and looked back at her seriously. “Do you know inversely proportional functions?”

 “Of course.” She smiled.
