Bai Zhen's eyes were filled with mockery. "Why do you always keep so many secrets from me, like where your parents are, what they do, and why you transferred schools? It's fine if you think it's inconvenient to say because of family privacy. But you're not even willing to tell me what you want to do with your leave. You're willing to tell me about your neighbor, but I'm not blind. With that sad expression on your face, was he really just a neighbor to you?"
Qiu Ying panicked when she saw Bai Zhen like this. She grabbed Bai Zhen's hands. "Zhenzhen!"
After Bai Zhen broke free from Qiu Ying's hand, she interrupted her explanation. "Alright, I don't want to argue with you. You don't have to find an excuse to explain to me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Teacher Qian entered the classroom.
After the bell rang, Teacher Qian explained the latest seating adjustment plan on the podium. "After you guys were divided into arts and sciences classes last year, you guys were allowed to choose your deskmates freely every semester. However, I realized that it's not good to have too much freedom. After school started this semester, some teachers and I noticed that some classmates like to chat in class, so some of your seats will change today."
"For students whose seats have changed, it might be because you talk too much. After adjusting, I hope that you can focus more on your studies. You won't ever be able to finish talking! There are also some students whose seats have changed because I hope that you can help each other in your studies. Of course, if any students privately feel that there are subjects they need help in, they can find students who are good at this subject. If the two of you are willing to sit together after discussing, you can come straight to me to adjust your seats. I hope that this adjustment will bring a positive effect to your grades."
Then, he announced the seat movements of more than a dozen students, including Bai Zhen and Jiang Lin's.
When Bai Zhen heard this, she thought of the change of seats mentioned in the anonymous message. The message said that in order to improve her English grades, she had taken the initiative to tell her teacher that she wanted to sit at the same table as Jiang Lin.
At this moment, Bai Zhen only felt that her sincerity had been crushed.
After class, the students whose seats had changed began to pack their things.
Qiu Ying looked at Bai Zhen's empty seat in a daze. Bai Zhen had immediately left the classroom when the bell rang. Now, she didn't even want to talk to her.
Jiang Lin turned to see Yao Yu, who was tidying up the desk, and said, "Aren't you going to move your desk?"
Yao Yu was stunned. He looked up and saw that the other students who had changed seats were only packing their things. No one had even moved the desk. He turned around and was about to retort when he saw Jiang Lin looking at him meaningfully. He immediately reacted and quickly said to Qiu Ying, "Qiu Ying, I'm more used to my desk. Let's change desks!"
Qiu Ying came back to her senses and replied, "Sure."
Yao Yu vacated the seat at his desk and cursed Jiang Lin for being so jealousy-prone that he didn't even want Qiu Ying to use his desk.
Jiang Lin stood up and took a step forward to move Qiu Ying's desk to the spot vacated by Yao Yu. Their positions were changed immediately.
When Qiu Ying sat beside Jiang Lin, she still found it unbelievable. The more she wanted to cut ties with these people from Jingdu, the closer they became to each other. Could this be the legendary Murphy's Law?
Jiang Lin looked at Qiu Ying, who was sitting beside him and staring blankly at Bai Zhen's back, and felt that it was a little surreal.
It seemed that what he saw the most was her in her calmest state. Occasionally, he would see her smiling at Bai Zhen. There was also a serious look on her face when she learned how to run from him some time ago. She had a cold smile on her face sometimes, and there was also the way she smiled excitedly when she saw him sprinting recently.
Jiang Lin felt that the more he knew about Qiu Ying, the more attracted to her he became.
While Jiang Lin was lost in thought, the phone on the desk lit up. Jiang Lin picked it up, looked at the results of the investigation, and chuckled disdainfully.
The school called the police to report the hooligans last week. After investigating, they realized that they had climbed over the wall and snuck into the school. They only said that they wanted to enter the student dormitory to steal something. Unexpectedly, they saw Qiu Ying and evil intentions arose.
As for the two girls, they had accepted Wang Ting's bribe. The two of them only wanted to teach Qiu Ying a simple lesson and planned to lock her in the bathroom so that she would miss the competition. This way, the matter wouldn't blow up and they would have an explanation for Wang Ting. Who knew that things would end up like this?
Jiang Lin scoffed at the results of the investigation. The testimony of the two girls should be true, but there was no way those hooligans had done it on the spur of the moment.
Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and rubbed his index finger. After opening his phone and sending a few messages, he switched to the game page to play games.
