Chapter 212 Are you two dating?
Qiu Ziyue stepped into the classroom of Class 1, Grade 11, feeling nervous.
She was worried that people would say she got into the top class because of her mother's connections, so she agreed to many of her mother's conditions.
She promised her mother she wouldn't cause trouble at school, so she decided not to reveal her martial arts skills and to endure everything she could.
However, she came from ancient times and was completely ignorant of modern mathematics, physics, and chemistry, making her studies extremely difficult.
On the first day of class, the teacher wrote complex mathematical formulas on the blackboard, and the speed at which he explained them made Qiu Ziyue feel a little strained.
She couldn't understand the teacher's lecture, and her mind became increasingly confused.
After class, the students around them gathered together to discuss the questions.
Qiu Ziyue could only sit silently in her seat, trying to understand those concepts that were still unfamiliar to her.
"You can't keep up, can you?"
One classmate said dismissively, "We've already learned all this. How can someone like you get into the top class? Humph."
Another student chimed in:
"The new guy is different. He can't even do such a simple question. It's embarrassing."
Qiu Ziyue's face flushed red, her heart filled with helplessness and frustration.
She knew she had to catch up as soon as possible, but she found it even harder to cope with the sarcasm and ridicule from her classmates.
Just then, squad leader Ren Pengju walked over.
He was a handsome, academically excellent student from a well-off family. He was a promising student whom the school was focusing on cultivating for admission to Peking University and Tsinghua University, and was known as the school's heartthrob.
However, he did not laugh at Qiu Ziyue for her poor grades.
"Don't listen to them,"
Ren Pengju said gently, "It's normal to be unfamiliar with things when you first arrive. Take your time. I can help you catch up when I have time."
Qiu Ziyue looked up and saw Ren Pengju's sincere gaze, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
"Thank you."
She said softly.
Ren Pengju smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, we're all classmates."
Ren Pengju's help helped Qiu Ziyue gradually adapt to the learning pace of the new class, but it also attracted more jealousy.
The female students, in particular, paid more attention to Ren Pengju than they would to ordinary classmates.
Now, this outstanding school heartthrob is showing special attention to Qiu Ziyue, which fills them with resentment.
Gong Xiaoxiao was furious.
She was originally a popular figure in the class, but now she could only watch helplessly as Qiu Ziyue gained Ren Pengju's favor.
She decided to team up with other girls to cause some trouble for Qiu Ziyue.
Qiu Ziyue rode her bicycle home after class, but the tire was punctured, so she had to push it.
As she walked, she was suddenly surrounded by a group of girls, led by Gong Xiaoxiao.
"Oh, isn't this the new classmate who's always dragging us down?" Gong Xiaoxiao sneered.
Qiu Ziyue felt a sense of unease, but she tried her best to remain calm:
What do you want to do?
"It's nothing, I just wanted you to understand that you can't do whatever you want here."
As Gong Xiaoxiao spoke, she gave Qiu Ziyue a push.
Qiu Ziyue twisted her body and dodged it.
The other girls joined in the jeering, and the scene became tense for a moment.
Just then, Ren Pengju walked in from outside, saw what was happening, and immediately stepped forward to stop it:
What are you doing?
Upon seeing this, Gong Xiaoxiao and the other girls quickly dispersed, pretending that nothing had happened.
Ren Pengju walked up to Qiu Ziyue and asked with concern:
"Are you ok?"
Qiu Ziyue shook her head: "It's nothing, thank you."
Ren Pengju frowned, turned to the group of girls and said:
"Don't treat your classmates like this in the future. If there are any problems, you can communicate directly instead of using this method."
Gong Xiaoxiao lowered her head, not daring to look Ren Pengju in the eye.
She knew that she could no longer act recklessly in front of Ren Pengju.
After this incident, Qiu Ziyue developed a strong liking for Ren Pengju.
Despite the many difficulties she still faces in her studies, with Ren Pengju's encouragement, she gradually found confidence and courage.
A few days later, Ren Pengju took the initiative to chat with Qiu Ziyue, telling her some study methods and techniques, and inviting her to attend an extracurricular tutoring class together.
Qiu Ziyue felt incredibly warm. She knew that in this seemingly indifferent new environment, there was at least one person who was willing to genuinely help her.
This further fueled Gong Xiaoxiao's anger.
A few days later, the school organized an outdoor activity, and Qiu Ziyue and her classmates went to a park in the suburbs.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gong Xiaoxiao secretly planned a little "prank".
Halfway through the activity, Gong Xiaoxiao deliberately had Qiu Ziyue's deskmate, Zhou Yu, lead Qiu Ziyue to a secluded path, pretending to be concerned and saying:
"The scenery here is so beautiful, why don't we rest here for a while?"
Qiu Ziyue nodded and followed Zhou Yu to the bottom of a small hill.
Just as they stopped, Gong Xiaoxiao suddenly appeared and shoved Qiu Ziyue.
However, Qiu Ziyue seemed to sense something. In the instant she was pushed, she deftly dodged to the side, and Gong Xiaoxiao's hand missed its target.
Due to inertia, Gong Xiaoxiao lost her balance and fell forward, landing in the mud pit.
The splashing mud and water landed on Gong Xiaoxiao's face and body, leaving her looking disheveled.
Qiu Ziyue was startled and quickly turned around to check the situation.
Gong Xiaoxiao struggled to climb out of the mud pit, her face and clothes covered in mud, looking quite disheveled.
Her eyes were filled with anger and embarrassment.
"You...you actually dodged it!"
Gong Xiaoxiao roared angrily, her voice filled with a hint of annoyance and resentment.
Qiu Ziyue paused for a moment, then gently shook her head:
"I didn't intentionally try to avoid it; it was just a subconscious reaction."
Gong Xiaoxiao's face turned even uglier; she felt she had lost face in front of everyone.
Several classmates nearby heard the commotion and gathered around, whispering among themselves as they looked at Gong Xiaoxiao.
"How did Gong Xiaoxiao fall into the mud pit?"
A girl asked in a low voice.
"Was it an accident?" another boy guessed.
Gong Xiaoxiao felt incredibly ashamed and indignant. She screamed incoherently, then glared at Qiu Ziyue and said through gritted teeth:
"Damn it, what bad luck! You think this will make me look bad? Just you wait!"
Qiu Ziyue frowned and said in a calm tone:
"I didn't mean to embarrass you. We're all classmates, why do this?"
Gong Xiaoxiao, however, refused to give up. She shook her wet hair and said fiercely:
"You'll regret this, Qiu Ziyue!"
Just as Gong Xiaoxiao was throwing a tantrum, class monitor Ren Pengju happened to pass by.
He saw this and immediately came over.
He asked with concern, "What happened to you?"
Qiu Ziyue briefly explained what had happened. After listening, Ren Pengju frowned and looked at Gong Xiaoxiao, saying:
"Xiaoxiao, this is wrong. No matter what the conflict is, it should not be resolved in this way."
Gong Xiaoxiao lowered her head, not daring to look Ren Pengju in the eye.
She was soaked to the bone, looking like a drowned rat, and wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
"It's all your fault! You're biased towards her. Are you two dating?"
"Gong Xiaoxiao, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Before Qiu Ziyue came, you were very good to me, but after she came, you ignored me. I hate you all."
"What nonsense are you spouting? I'm the class monitor, and I have to protect the harmony of the class. Okay, stop talking and get up."
Ren Pengju walked over, reached out, and helped Gong Xiaoxiao up.
Then, Ren Pengju turned to Qiu Ziyue and asked, "Are you alright?"
Qiu Ziyue shook her head: "I'm fine."
Ren Pengju sighed and turned to Gong Xiaoxiao:
"Do you need help cleaning up? We can go to the bathroom together."
Gong Xiaoxiao remained silent for a while, then finally nodded.
Although Gong Xiaoxiao had cleaned the mud off her face, she couldn't clean the mud off her body yet.
She heard some girls whispering and laughing, which made her even more jealous of Qiu Ziyue.
She was determined to teach Qiu Ziyue a lesson.
To be continued in the next chapter.
