Seventeen Again: The Sweet Life with My Family

Chapter 33

In the end, Huang Yue signed up for ukulele’s solo performance. There were also other girls in the class preparing for the national dance, and the boys even organized a basketball show.

High school students’ learning progress was very tight, especially in a key city school like No. 1 High School. Large-scale galas were like stimulants to them, adding a touch of color to their boring life.

However, whether it was watching others perform or performing for others, Wen Nian had experienced too much in her previous life. In such an atmosphere, the composed Wen Nian felt a little out of place. But when she turned around and saw Shen Jun sleeping on the table, she suddenly felt less lonely.

Shen Jun’s image in Wen Nian’s eyes was that he never paid attention in class and did not do any work after class. He would either read books that she couldn’t understand at all or play games. Occasionally, he would also fall asleep. However, this did not stop him from getting full marks in the science tests. Wen Nian was willing to bet that Shen Jun would definitely get first place in the cohort in the final exam.

After school in the afternoon, Wen Nian didn’t go to the canteen. She was a little tired of eating the same dishes twice a day. She took out a crispy pancake with assorted fillings and started biting into it, making crackling sounds with each bite.

Unlike usual, Huang Yue didn’t leave. Instead, she stayed seated on her seat and ate some biscuits to fill her stomach while secretly observing Shen Jun.

After Shen Jun finished his sandwich, Huang Yue walked to the back of the classroom with an exercise book and asked, “Shen Jun, I have a question that I don’t quite understand. Can I ask you?”

Shen Jun looked up at Huang Yue, but then took out his phone and lowered his eyes to reply to a message. His thin lips then spat out two words: “I’m busy.” contemporary romance

Seeing that Shen Jun had rejected her mercilessly, Huang Yue’s smile froze instantly. However, she quickly adjusted her expression and spoke in such a soft tone, “It’s okay. I can wait here by the side.”

Wen Nian had already begun working on the test paper when she heard Huang Yue’s gentle voice, and she knew what Huang Yue was thinking.

Huang Yue’s mind was remarkably discerning. She would not fall for someone just because of their appearance; only money and power could entice her to give up her principles.

Thinking of Huang Yue’s personality of not waking up early without benefits, Wen Nian could guess that the change in Huang Yue’s attitude must be because she saw that Shen Jun had something she could use. Wen Nian was a little curious about Shen Jun’s attitude. She lowered her head to look at the test paper. She stopped writing, and her ears perked up.

Shen Jun replied without looking up, “I’m very busy and don’t have time.”

Tears welled up in Huang Yue’s eyes, making them slightly red and giving her a particularly adorable look. Her voice softened, as if she wanted to melt people’s hearts. “I won’t take up too much of your time. Just a short while, please?”

When Wen Nian heard Huang Yue’s pleading voice, her body couldn’t help but tremble. She could see with the naked eye that her arms were covered in goosebumps. She quickly rubbed them a few times to calm down this uncomfortable physiological reaction.

After replying to a message, Shen Jun looked up at Huang Yue.

Huang Yue was encouraged by this look and felt a little smug. It was indeed always beneficial to pretend to be weak in front of men.

Huang Yue didn’t reveal her inner thoughts on the surface, but Shen Jun had grown up in a big family and had been exposed to sly foxes in the business world like his grandpa Shen Lin and old politicians like his grandpa Zhao Zheng since he was young. Shen Jun could more or less guess what Huang Yue was thinking. Besides, he had already rejected her twice and she was still pestering him. His already irritable personality made him a little impatient.

He frowned slightly before stopping and said, “Are you deaf? Or did I not express myself clearly enough?”

Looking up at Shen Jun’s cold expression, Huang Yue felt extremely embarrassed. She moved her lips a few times, wanting to say something, but was afraid that Shen Jun might lash out at her even more. From the corner of her eye, she saw Wen Nian’s lips pursed. She felt like Wen Nian might be secretly laughing at her and wasn’t sure if she had been overthinking.

She turned to look at the other students in the classroom. Even though their backs were facing her, Huang Yue felt like they had all heard the conversation just now and were looking down on her.

Huang Yue tightened her grip on the book, looking at Shen Jun with an aggrieved expression. However, he had already shifted his attention back to his phone.

Huang Yue immediately felt ashamed and resentful. This time, her eyes were really red. She stomped her feet and ran out of the classroom from the back door.

A few seconds later.

“Ah!”

All the students in the classroom heard a scream. Wen Nian turned her head slightly to look at Shen Jun, but the other party did not seem to hear it and was still doing his own thing. Wen Nian was not curious enough to investigate and instead shifted her gaze back to the test paper.

Shen Jun had a cold personality. They had been sitting together for almost a month, and Wen Nian had only been able to talk to him a little bit thanks to their proximity. Occasionally, she would ask him a few questions, and some girls even approached him for help because of his good looks. But Shen Jun’s answers were always straightforward; he would say that he didn’t know how to teach and advised them to ask the teacher instead.
