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 couldnβt let his mom answer, so he lazily opened it. Lan Yazhen stood at the door, to his surprise, "Why are you here?" ππ«ππ²πππ―ππ¨π§ππ.ππ π¦
"Why canβt I come?" Lan Yazhen felt aggrieved, "Didnβt you say youβd help me with physics?"
"I thought you didnβt need it anymore." Xiaang Zheng stepped aside to let Lan Yazhen in, "You havenβt been around lately, so I thought youβd figured something out."
What solution, Xiaang Zheng didnβt spell it out, but he had a good ideaβit probably involved Gu Jingkui.
"If I donβt come looking for you, youβd never contact me." Lan Yazhen was exhausted. Why did she like someone so clueless? But she just did.
"Why contact if thereβs nothing to discuss?" Xiaang Zheng said straightforwardly. Truthfully, he saw no reason.
Lan Yazhen shot back in frustration and angrily took out her books, "Didnβt 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, "Iβm full."
Totally filled with anger by Xiaang Zheng. Nothing he said was pleasing.
Xiaang Zheng nodded, "Alright then."
If sheβs full, then heβd only make enough for himself and his mom, none for her. Making extra would just go to waste; leftover breakfast wasnβt 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. Itβll 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 hadnβt 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 hadnβt noticed at all. If it were Brother Gu, heβd have ordered food by now.
But she genuinely didnβt like Brother Gu; they just werenβt 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 schoolβs not great, but youβd be there for half a year only. It wonβt impact your exams."
Lan Yazhen: "No need."
"Oh, so youβve 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."
