She tugged at the corner of her mouth. “Forget it, forget it. I’m too lazy to argue with you,” she said.
Song Zhi placed the snacks in his bag on the table. “Everyone, come and eat. These are the snacks my dad brought back from overseas. They’re not available in China,” he exclaimed.
As she said that, she glanced at Xia Wan proudly, obviously showing off.
Xia Wan ignored her and took out her textbook to read the new content.
The students rushed over one after another. When Zhou Chen arrived at the class, he saw Xia Wan reading quietly at the desk. He couldn’t help but cough lightly to show his presence.
Xia Wan didn’t look up, but Song Zhi greeted Zhou Chen. “Zhou Chen, you’re here. I specially left this for you. Try it. This is called coffee. It has a refreshing effect. After drinking it, you won’t be sleepy when you study today.”
As she spoke, she took out her thermos.
Everyone looked at her thermos flask with envy. In this era, everyone used plastic cups that cost one or two yuan to drink water. There were not many who could afford thermos flasks.
Sensing everyone’s envious gazes, Song Zhi’s vanity was satisfied.
She took off the lid of the thermos cup and poured the coffee out. Then, she handed it to Zhou Chen. “Try it.”
Zhou Chen nodded and took the coffee.
He first took a sip, then finished it quickly. He handed the lid to Song Zhi. “It’s very sweet. Thank you.”
Xia Wan, who was reading with her head lowered, chuckled. Coffee, very sweet? He was probably drinking instant coffee.
“It tastes a little different from the coffee I drank last time, but the taste is not much different.”
Song Zhi’s eyes were filled with surprise. “Zhou Chen, you’ve had coffee before.”
Zhou Chen nodded and appeared very calm.
Xia Wan knew that he was pretending.
In her previous life, she didn’t know the real situation of Zhou Chen’s family. She thought that he was just like he appeared to be. Both his parents had good jobs. In fact, only his father worked in the factory in Zhou Chen’s family. Moreover, the factory quickly closed down because of poor profits.
After that, Zhou Chen’s father only took on some odd jobs, and his monthly income was not stable.
Naturally, it was not a problem to provide for Zhou Chen’s education, but it was impossible to provide a better life for Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen’s family did not have such conditions.
Therefore, Zhou Chen was obviously lying when he said that he had drunk coffee. He did not want to embarrass himself in front of the class.
Song Zhi looked at Xia Wan and smiled. “Xia Wan, you probably haven’t drunk it before, right? Do you want to try it?”
Xia Wan didn’t even raise her head. “No need. I don’t need to refresh myself.”
The others pursed their lips and said to Song Zhi, “Don’t let her drink it. Her grades aren’t good. It’s a waste to drink it.”
“That’s right. She might even think that you’re giving her charity. After all, she doesn’t lack people who spend money on her.”
Xia Wan ignored the sarcastic tone of the person beside her and continued reading.
Song Zhi glanced at the content of the book that Xia Wan was reading. It was a math textbook. She said, “Xia Wan, I remember that your math results are very bad. Can you understand the content on this? Do you want me to explain it to
you?”
Xia Wan couldn’t take it anymore. She felt that Song Zhi was very noisy.
She put a pen in the book to mark the page and closed the book. She looked at Song Zhi with a faint smile. “If you really wanted to help me with my studies, you shouldn’t have asked me to drink coffee and explain the questions to me while I was reading.”
“Although your overall results can be ranked in the top ten of our class, your math score is 150 points. The highest score you’ve ever gotten is 90 points, right?”
“Do you know that 90 marks is only a passing mark for a 150-mark paper?”
“You just got a passing grade, but you want to give me a lecture here. Do you think I dare to believe you?”
Xia Wan’s words immediately drew laughter from her classmates.
“Xia Wan, do you want to listen to what you’re saying? Your grades are at the bottom of our class. Your math scores are always in the 40s, while Song Zhi scored in the 90s.”
“That’s right. Song Zhi took the initiative to help you. It’s fine if you don’t know how to be grateful, but you’re even mocking Song Zhi for his low grades. Xia Wan, your character is so bad.”
Zhou Chen also looked at Xia Wan. “Xia Wan, I’m really disappointed in you.”
Xia Wan silently rolled her eyes in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, someone walked into the classroom. It was Liu Hua..
