On the drive back, Luo Yang wanted to chat with Shi Yun.
Lately, she seemed more spirited when with Luo Yang than usual.
At least she wasn't always hanging her head, as if her neck was weighed down by several heavy weights and couldn't lift it.
She would occasionally laugh, clearly in a slightly better mood.
Luo Yang hoped she would keep it up and live actively and happily every day.
"Sister Xiao Yun, give us a smile," Luo Yang said.
Before Shi Yun could respond, Hong Jiaxin scoffed:
"Asking someone to smile for no reason, what do you mean by that?"
Luo Yang was just looking for a reason to talk.
He laughed and said, "Class president, I want to see whose smile looks better."
As a result, Hong Jiaxin rolled her eyes and ignored Luo Yang.
He could talk to Shi Yun again.
"Sister Xiao Yun, hang out with me more when you're free. I'll take you to eat delicious food, and also to tour mountains and waters, your horizons will be much broader," Luo Yang said.
Shi Yun nodded with a smile.
Getting her to say a word was really not easy.
She didn't talk much, only responding with a word or two when there was an appropriate topic to discuss.
At that, Hong Jiaxin couldn't hold back and scoffed: "Doesn't someone else need to study? Not like you, wandering around every day."
Talking about studies, Luo Yang felt defiant.
Ever since he acquired the 'Super Memory', he believed it wouldn't be long before he became an academic achiever.
Hong Jiaxin, the female academic achiever, would eventually lose to him.
"Class president, you don't understand this. I could help Sister Xiao Yun with her studies..."
Before he could finish, laughter erupted in the carriage.
Among the girls present, everyone knew that Luo Yang was universally recognized as academically poor.
When Luo Yang said he was first, aside from Xiao Daniu who could claim worse academic performance than him, there was probably no second.
"Niu Zai, Shi Yun's academic performance is better than yours. Teach her instead," An Yuying couldn't bear to listen and spoke bluntly.
"Look at him, still able to laugh about it. Saying he'd guide Shi Yun in studying. With the grades you're getting, you have the nerve to speak up," Hong Jiaxin laughed.
Exposed by her, Luo Yang was not embarrassed but just chuckled.
Tang Guihua also laughed, "Niu Zai, if you could guide Shi Yun in studying, then truly the sun would be rising from the west. I'm rooting for you."
Nobody believed Luo Yang would become an academic achiever.
He smiled and said, "Sister Xiao Yun, do you believe I could guide you?"
Shi Yun being timid didn't mean she had a negative IQ.
From the other girls' words, she already knew that Luo Yang's academic performance in school was very poor.
Her grades were decent, not top-notch but still among the best.
So, when Luo Yang asked her, she just shyly smiled faintly.
"Sister Xiao Yun, let's find a time. I want to compete with you to see who has more knowledge," Luo Yang said seriously.
Laughter followed again.
Hong Jiaxin unabashedly said, "You should first pass your exams before trying to guide anyone else."
The female academic achiever's statement naturally carried a certain authority.
Luo Yang defiantly said, "Class president, just wait and see. Once the final exams come out, you'll see who the top student is. I'm not just bragging, just a few subjects..."
Before he could finish, the laughter in the carriage had already drowned out his words.
The girls chattered away, all making fun of Luo Yang.
Actions speak louder than words.
Without having taken the exams yet, nobody believed what he said, since he had been academically poor for many years.
"Sister An, do you believe I can score high?" Luo Yang asked with a smile.
"Niu Zai, what use is it for someone to believe in you, you need to study well to achieve good results," An Yuying said sweetly.
Luo Yang attempted to pinch her cheek, but she pushed his hand away.
