All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human-Chapter 93: Watching the Love-Struck Brother Court Disaster (40)
Early in the morning, Xiaang Zheng was startled awake by a knocking at the door. He couldnโt let his mom answer, so he lazily opened it. Lan Yazhen stood at the door, to his surprise, "Why are you here?" ๐๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐.๐๐ ๐ฆ
"Why canโt I come?" Lan Yazhen felt aggrieved, "Didnโt you say youโd help me with physics?"
"I thought you didnโt need it anymore." Xiaang Zheng stepped aside to let Lan Yazhen in, "You havenโt been around lately, so I thought youโd figured something out."
What solution, Xiaang Zheng didnโt spell it out, but he had a good ideaโit probably involved Gu Jingkui.
"If I donโt come looking for you, youโd never contact me." Lan Yazhen was exhausted. Why did she like someone so clueless? But she just did.
"Why contact if thereโs nothing to discuss?" Xiaang Zheng said straightforwardly. Truthfully, he saw no reason.
Lan Yazhen shot back in frustration and angrily took out her books, "Didnโt you promise to tutor me?"
"Let me wash my face and grab something to eat first." Xiaang Zheng headed to the bathroom to freshen up, then went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Before starting, he asked if Lan Yazhen had eaten.
Already upset, Lan Yazhen snapped, "Iโm full."
Totally filled with anger by Xiaang Zheng. Nothing he said was pleasing.
Xiaang Zheng nodded, "Alright then."
If sheโs full, then heโd only make enough for himself and his mom, none for her. Making extra would just go to waste; leftover breakfast wasnโt as good the next time around.
With breakfast ready, Xiaang Zheng ate alone, his mom still asleep, her breakfast kept warm in the pot.
Lan Yazhen bit her lip, glaring at Xiaang Zheng. Did he really not prepare a portion for her?
"Why are you watching me?" Xiaang Zheng looked up, "You can start looking at your notes, mark anything unclear. Itโll speed up our session, and we can focus on your weaknesses."
Lan Yazhen was close to biting her lip through. Could he not see she hadnโt had breakfast? Just because she said she was full, he took her at her word?
The smell of delicious breakfast wafted to her, and she grew hungrier, regretting not eating before rushing out.
"Have you marked everything?" At some point, Xiaang Zheng had finished and started tutoring beside Lan Yazhen.
Her stomach growled loudly, and Xiaang Zheng hadnโt noticed at all. If it were Brother Gu, heโd have ordered food by now.
But she genuinely didnโt like Brother Gu; they just werenโt meant to be. Sometimes liking someone is so odd; the person you like has nothing going for them, yet you just like them.
"By the way, did you resolve that issue with your school? I checked around, the schoolโs not great, but youโd be there for half a year only. It wonโt impact your exams."
Lan Yazhen: "No need."
"Oh, so youโve resolved it." Xiaang Zheng understood, saying no more.
Lan Yazhen pursed her lips, staying silent. She only needed to study hard for this last half year, then everyone would see her get into a decent school, silencing them all.
Lan Yazhen hugged her books heading home, stopping in a nearby alley as she saw someone at the entrance. "Gu Qianyan, what are you doing here?"
"I heard you can stay on at Tenglann High School." Qiann Yan stood up straight. She came to remind Lan Yazhen to stay consistent in her high standards and not be two-faced. "I was curious if Tenglann High School had turned charitable, so I asked around."
A bad feeling rose in Lan Yazhen as she heard Qiann Yan say, "Turns out Gu Jingkui paid your tuition."
