After Becoming the Love-Brained Female Lead’s Best Friend - Chapter 10
Fang Shu clearly failed to get down from the podium. Even though the people below were already doing their best to give her hints, Fang Shu’s head, which simply could not hold knowledge, always managed to associate things with something else.
One classmate had originally wanted to pass Fang Shu a note while the teacher was at the back, but before the note could even be sent out, it was confiscated by the homeroom teacher, who had silently walked to the front.
While confiscating it, the homeroom teacher knocked on that person’s head. “You’re the only one who knows how to do it, huh?”
After saying that, she walked up to the podium and stood beside Fang Shu. Seeing that Fang Shu had only written the word “Solution” and a few hesitant numbers so far, then looking at Ye Wanyin on the other side, who had already finished the problem, she picked up a new piece of chalk.
“All right, both of you stand to the side first. I’ll explain it.”
The two of them stood in opposite corners, one near the door and one near the window. Fang Shu’s hand was close to the first seat on the far left. The person beside her quietly sighed at her.
“Sigh, we already hinted that much to you.”
Fang Shu said indifferently, “If I have to stand, then I’ll stand.”
“Oh right, did you see the message in the group yesterday?”
There had only been one message in the group yesterday. After Fang Shu was reminded of it, she remembered yesterday’s video again and could not help dry-heaving.
After dry-heaving, Fang Shu sensitively noticed that the sounds in the class had gone strangely quiet. She raised her head and saw the homeroom teacher looking at her with a dark expression.
“Fang Shu, you already understand it, do you? Or is my explanation so unappetizing to you that it’s making you throw up?”
Fang Shu: “…”
After the homeroom teacher finished explaining, Fang Shu was naturally kept standing. When Ye Wanyin left, the homeroom teacher still earnestly told her, “Your grades are good, but you can’t relax either. The monthly exam is coming soon, so you have to prepare properly.”
When the students below heard the words “monthly exam,” the classroom immediately filled with wails. Someone bold asked, “Teacher, did they say when the monthly exam will be?”
The homeroom teacher picked up a piece of chalk. “They haven’t said, but it should be soon.”
The students below wailed again.
The homeroom teacher mocked them. “When I usually tell you to listen properly in class, you don’t. Now that you know there’ll be an exam, you’re panicking? I’m telling you, it’s too late!”
The homeroom teacher continued teaching, and Fang Shu remained standing.
After the two consecutive classes ended, Fang Shu finally returned to her seat. Ye Wanyin looked at her with a bit of sympathy in her expression.
Fang Shu: “?”
Fang Shu asked, “What?”
Ye Wanyin pointed at the timetable stuck to the upper-left corner of her desk. “The next class is Chinese.”
Fang Shu: “…”
After finally making it through until school was dismissed, Fang Shu at last had a chance to touch her phone. Instead of choosing to go home immediately, she started looking at the movie tickets currently on sale at Sangyuan.
After browsing for a while, she suddenly heard a sound beside her. She looked up and saw that in front of Ye Wanyin’s desk, a girl wearing the same black-framed glasses as Ye Wanyin was standing in the seat in front of her, seemingly asking a question. The book had been placed on Ye Wanyin’s desk, but because a tall stack of textbooks was piled up in front of Ye Wanyin, the girl could only stretch her head forward as much as possible to listen to Ye Wanyin explain the problem, nodding from time to time.
Just looking at that posture made Fang Shu feel tired.
Ye Wanyin seemed to notice it too and was about to stand up and place the girl’s book on top of the stacked textbooks.
Fang Shu stood up before her and said to the girl in front of Ye Wanyin, “Sit in my seat.”
After saying that, she sat in the empty seat in front.
Meng Meng gratefully said thank you to Fang Shu.
From behind, the sound of Ye Wanyin explaining the problem came from time to time. Fang Shu browsed through the movies and discovered that she had already watched all the ones currently showing.
Normally, she would have left at this point. But thinking of her current single status, going home did not seem that fun either. Without realizing it, she stayed.
Ye Wanyin also noticed Fang Shu in the front seat. Seeing that she was propping up her chin and aimlessly scrolling through her phone, she called out to her. Fang Shu continued propping up her chin, only turning her head slightly. Ye Wanyin held up a study guide.
“Why don’t you come do two pages too?”
Fang Shu: “…”
Fang Shu lazily raised her middle finger at her.
Ye Wanyin sighed.
That night, after self-study ended, the three of them walked back together. Probably because she was worried about leaving Fang Shu out, Meng Meng kept asking Fang Shu questions along the way.
“Fang Shu, where do you live?”
As long as it had nothing to do with studying, Fang Shu’s temper was usually pretty good. She simply pointed at Ye Wanyin. Meng Meng followed her gaze, and Fang Shu said, “I live with her.”
Meng Meng suddenly understood. “Oh right, you two are best friends.”
Hearing those two unfamiliar yet familiar words, both of them felt goosebumps rise in their hearts at the same time.
The three parted ways at the intersection. Ye Wanyin and Fang Shu returned home. Fang Shu was originally heading straight to her room when Ye Wanyin stopped her. Her expression was thoughtful.
“Fang Shu, I thought about it for the whole evening. I think aside from top students, we can also consider ordinary classmates. Find someone who likes studying. If you’re with him, you should also be able to enjoy the fun of studying while dating.”
Fang Shu: “…”
Fang Shu said without much interest, “We’ll see.”
She felt that she had been a little allergic to boys recently.
But Ye Wanyin took this matter seriously. Knowing that Fang Shu would not be interested in the boys in their class, she would occasionally pass by other classes after class and even made friends with several students from other classes.
Every time she heard about someone relatively suitable, she would ask Fang Shu’s opinion. At times like this, Fang Shu’s love-brain advantage showed itself. Almost as long as Ye Wanyin said a class and a name, without even needing to describe him in detail, Fang Shu would know who she was talking about.
The only pity was that Fang Shu did not take a liking to a single one.
Ye Wanyin could only comfort herself and go look for the next one.
One day, a boy whom Ye Wanyin had observed and thought was pretty good, but had not yet had time to mention to Fang Shu, came to confess to Fang Shu. Ye Wanyin tugged at Fang Shu’s sleeve with a very small movement.
“This boy seems pretty good. He looks decent. Although his grades aren’t especially good, he works quite hard.”
Fang Shu looked expressionlessly at the boy in front of her. Suddenly—
“Ugh—”
The boy left with a wounded expression.
Ye Wanyin frowned slightly and looked at Fang Shu, gently patting her back. “What’s wrong with you?”
Fang Shu wiped the corner of her mouth and also frowned. “I feel like I’m a little afraid of men now.”
“When he confessed to me just now, I couldn’t help thinking about what he might be like behind the scenes. And the moment I thought about it, I remembered that guy from last time… Ugh—”
Ye Wanyin patted her back. She had not expected Fang Shu to still be thinking about that matter. “Don’t think too much…”
Fang Shu retched even harder.
Ye Wanyin: “…”
Ye Wanyin looked at her worriedly. “You can’t stay like this forever, right?”
Fang Shu took a moment to recover. “Who knows? Maybe after I take a year or half a year to recover, I’ll get over it. Anyway, I can’t do it now.”
Ye Wanyin: “…”
I can’t wait a year or half a year!
Ye Wanyin had never imagined that during the mission, there would be a situation where the love-brained target did not want to date. This made her brain freeze for a moment.
“If dating boys doesn’t work, what about dating girls?”
She heard herself ask.
