The teacher handed out the after-lesson exercises. Gu Xiao looked at the pile of questions. They were all the targeted expansion exercises taught in today’s class. What did she learn today? Computation of vectors? But she didn’t remember a single formula!

“Gu Xiao, what’s wrong?” An Yang sat beside Gu Xiao. Seeing that she looked like she was about to break down, she came to show her concern.

“An Yang, did you listen to the class?”

“I did. The basic calculation of vectors is quite simple.”

“Big shot, teach me!”

An Yang laughed. Just as she was about to agree, someone behind Gu Xiao spoke first. “Okay.”

Gu Xiao and An Yang: “?”

Chu An brought his notebook to Gu Xiao. “I’ve memorized everything. Take a look. If you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

Gu Xiao flipped it open and saw that the handwriting was neat and tidy. There were even his own annotations in some places. It was even more detailed than what the teacher had explained in class! Furthermore, the handwriting was exactly the same. He was the Chu An from her previous life!

An Yang also saw it. As a study fanatic, the first thing she did when she saw the notebook was to ask Chu An anxiously, “Classmate, can Gu Xiao show it to me after reading it?”

Unexpectedly, Chu An’s voice suddenly turned grumpy, and he said, “Do not look at what is contrary to propriety.”

“Huh?” Gu Xiao turned around and looked at him in confusion.

“It’s fine as long as Gu Xiao thinks it’s okay.” Chu An stood up and left after saying this.

“Gu Xiao, I beg you…”

“Alright, alright. I’ll show you when I’m done learning.”

Gu Xiao was only immersed in the frustration of not listening to the class and the shock at Chu An’s rebirth, so she didn’t notice that all the surrounding students’ gazes were focused on her.

This included Ji Yao.

“Heavens, did you guys see that? Big Boss Chu is actually taking notes in class!”

“What the h*ll? Doesn’t he always keep strangers away? Why did he lend his notebook to someone who just transferred in?”

“More importantly, it’s a girl!”

The students were discussing spiritedly, but Gu Xiao was engrossed in her studies and did not notice that the students’ gazes were gradually becoming strange.

After all, in their impression, Chu An wasn’t close to anyone and didn’t participate in any large-scale school activities. However, Chu An’s studies were too good. Although he never took notes in class and sometimes even slept for a while, he always came in first in every exam.

Although Ji Yao and Lin Xue’s results were also very good, they were both the very hardworking type. On the other hand, Chu An studied like it was just playing to him. Therefore, in the hearts of the students, Chu An was already on par with a “god”. How could mortals like them come close to him?

But just as they had accepted Chu An’s “untainted” image, he was so concerned about this Gu Xiao—the girl who could only come to this school to study because she was participating in a show!

“What are you talking about?” Chu An had already returned by now and sat back in his chair in front of everyone’s eyes.

Gu Xiao was no longer thinking about Chu An’s secret. There were a few things in the notes that she didn’t understand, so she turned to ask Chu An. Chu An patiently answered them one by one, and the corners of her mouth gradually curled into a smile.

“Love at first sight! The iron tree blooms!”

Ji Yao gritted her teeth.

What gave Gu Xiao the right!

Ji Yao had always liked Chu An. From the first time she saw him, she had meticulously arranged many romantic encounters, including dragging Chu An to teach her questions. However, she could only receive Chu An’s ridicule every time.

For example: “If you don’t know how to do it, I don’t know how to do it either.” Or “I don’t know how to teach such a simple question.”

In short, it was all perfunctorily dealt with.

But with how Chu An was acting now…

Ji Yao’s heart ached as if something had been snatched away. He should have belonged to her!

Hence, Ji Yao defiantly approached Chu An and Gu Xiao. Before she got close, she received a warning look from Chu An, followed by extremely cold words to drive her away. “I’m busy.”

Ji Yao was at a loss, but she did not understand. Her family background was so good, and her grades were so high. She was such an outstanding person, but why did she only keep making a fool of herself after Gu Xiao arrived?

She couldn’t accept herself being like this. All her pent-up emotions erupted, and she shouted at Chu An in front of the entire class, “Chu An! She has just come to school and just joined for a single lesson. Why would you treat her like this?!”

As she spoke, she deliberately shook her bandaged right hand, as if she wanted Chu An’s comfort.

Ji Yao had obviously frightened all the students in the class. The atmosphere was even quieter than it had been during class.

“I saw her as soon as she came in. As for you, I don’t think I’ve seen you before.” Chu An glared at her. Why did she go crazy for no reason?
