Chapter 61

Just coming out from the swimming pool, taking a shower with fluffy hair that was slightly longer, the kind when short hair gets too long, Little Seven took a black hair band and tied all her hair up, making a small twist at the back of her head, and some wisps of hair still falling on the sides of her forehead and ears.

She had been very busy recently, and should have gone for a haircut.

Little Seven used to have long hair, but after entering high school and receiving the admission letter that required short hair to participate in military training, she obediently cut her hair short according to the requirements in the letter. After arriving at the school, she found out there were still female students with long hair, and the school did not really enforce the requirement to cut hair short.

Those female students who really cut their hair short according to the requirements regretted it afterwards. Little Seven also regretted it a little, but after cutting her hair short, it was hard to grow it long again, so she just maintained short hair since then.

Previously at 108 pounds, her face looked still a little chubby. With intensive exercising recently, her weight dropped significantly, and her face became much smaller, while her eyes remained the same as before, not big, but very long eyelashes.

In the video Qi Wei saw, there was a girl carrying many books over, including an English dictionary, original English books, and English textbooks.

Without looking at anyone, she started reading and making notes.

After 10 o’clock, the sunshine had crawled in from outside the window, crawled to the middle of the desk. The girl happened to be behind the sunshine.

The seemingly easily hooked up 80-point girl Da Dong bragged about solemnly, at this moment in the video, unexpectedly exhibited some kind of unspeakable aura. She was focused, serious, and even somewhat stern.

Sitting there, her whole body seemed to emit an aura.

Not easy to provoke.

Let alone hook up, strike up a conversation or hit on her.

After a long while, Shen Hao, who was studying in the UK one grade above them and seldom spoke in the group, was the first to talk.

“Little Qi, I think you'd better give it up. This girl is just studying hard. If you just want to play around, don't disturb her and find another target.” Qi Wei also felt a bit nervous. The words he had prepared to confess and the tricks he was going to use were all forgotten when he saw the girl today. He felt somehow being seen through and was very embarrassed.

He didn't expect that Shen Ge, who seldom participated in their discussion and seemed not to check the group at all, would suddenly speak.

And Da Dong, who was usually talkative, fell silent.

“Little Qi, I don't think this girl is easy to hook up with.” Linzi also said a sentence. He thought that maybe the special effects Qi Wei added in his TikTok video made the girl who should have been aloof seem inexplicably cute and warm. The girl before his eyes could almost freeze someone to death.

Finally Da Dong chimed in, unwilling to admit his wrong judgment and also feeling that the special effects in Qi Wei's TikTok video misled him.

"Bro, I have something else to do. My 18th girlfriend asked me out for a movie. I gotta run." Then he disappeared.

But he still sent a red envelope of 200 yuan. Three or four people in the group could grab a few dozen yuan each time.

Qi Wei was dumbfounded. What about the live streaming they just talked about? As soon as it started, they all chickened out.

But when he looked up at the young lady across, seriously flipping books and making notes, he didn't know why, but he chickened out too. He was thinking to follow what Da Dong Ge said, buying flowers and gifts to ask for her contact first. That's always how it goes.

Qi Wei was also very popular in class. Although he didn't have a girlfriend, he felt it would be very easy if he wanted one.

But at this moment, he didn't even have the courage to go up and strike up a conversation.

Little Seven Su Xiaoqi didn't know the boy diagonally across had so much drama about her today.

She also didn't know the buff on her today helped her fend off a rotten peach blossom.

In fact, after coming out of the ancient village of Gumu, although Little Seven Su Xiaoqi restrained herself and worked very hard to improve, she was still shaken in senior three.

Towards Liu Shaowei's overtures in the beginning, she did not reject firmly. After all, most young girls are easily tempted. Life is a path where you keep choosing which way to go.

If one starts dating and indulges in it at a very young age, it means taking another path, like a little sapling. Some saplings would always grow upright towards the sky and eventually become tall trees.

Some saplings don't have the desire to grow upwards from a young age, hoping more for the shelter of slightly taller saplings around to protect them, or wanting to grow together with the saplings around, or becoming vines entwining other trees, thus losing their own growth opportunities.

After experiencing Liu Shaowei's fleeting romance and failing the college entrance exam, Little Seven Su Xiaoqi matured a bit. The boy before her looked better than Liu Shaowei and came from an even better family. If he pursued the present Little Seven wholeheartedly, it's hard to tell how she would respond.

A truly outstanding girl is never one that all guys want to chase as soon as they see her, but one that guys don't dare chase when they see her.

At this moment, Little Seven just happened to gain a strange buff. In fact, her ears were still soft. When going shopping, she couldn’t withstand the slight enthusiasm from shop assistants.

A large part of this personality was influenced by her family environment.

Little Seven's dad Su Youfu was a bit cowardly, not fighting back or retaliating when mocked by others or cursed by his mother-in-law. Although mom Sheng Juanhua had a more irritable and unconstrained personality, she still listened to dad on important matters, leading Little Seven to subconsciously take more after dad.

These things were deeply ingrained in the bones and usually hard to change.

Little Seven didn’t think so much at this point. Reading for a while made her eyes tired. She got up and walked to the window.

From here she could see the Lv River not far away, long and wide, looking like a green silk scarf wrapping around the whole Lvshan City under the reflection of the mountains on the opposite river bank.

After enjoying the view and taking a rest from reading, Little Seven continued her lesson preparation.

With 7 students across 3 levels, she needed to prepare 3 sets of teaching plans. Luckily these students were quite obedient, all girls, and seemed easy to teach.

Time went by quickly when she was working. Little Seven felt her neck sore. When she got up and stretched, she happened to glance at her watch and surprisingly, it was still showing 8 o’clock with water inside...She forgot to take it off when swimming and water got into it.

This watch was gifted by Xia Zhen, and she'd been wearing it all the time.

Even after she and Xia Zhen lost contact after that night at the Huoba bar, she didn't throw it away. She wasn't the kind of melodramatic heroine in romance novels who would throw stuff away when upset. But now the watch was indeed broken.

It was sold for 30 yuan at the boutique shop at the school gate and had accompanied her for a long time.

Checking her phone, it was already 12:30 pm. Little Seven packed up her books and notes into her bag.

She took off her watch and walked to the trash can nearby. Letting go of her hand, the watch fell into the can.

She was going to buy herself a new watch since she got used to checking time on her wrist.

After Little Seven left, Qi Wei, who was frustrated all morning, actually went to dig the trash can, for the first time in his life, utterly humiliating.

Luckily the trash was very clean, with just some waste paper and the broken watch inside.

He picked up the watch furtively and quickly rinsed it in the restroom, feeling like a pervert.
