Chapter 72 Part 2
She knew that compared to the other students in the competition class, she was not smart. At most, she had experience, and if she wanted to get good grades, she had to work harder than the others.
So now her heart was tense every day. The school stated that the training schedule was from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, but she still maintained the same schedule from the semester.
The practice books of the physics class were unified, using a series of mechanics, electromagnetism, thermal optics, etc. taught by Mr. Cheng Jiafu. The difficulty of this series is moderate, not considered entry-level, but not too difficult, more in line with the topic of the rematch.
While Zhang Man was doing these practice problems, she also prepared with Mr. Shu Yousheng’s “Physics Difficulties Collection” and Mr. Zhao Kaihua’s “New Concept Physics Series”. The type is complex and the scope of the topic is wider.
Every day, she had to study the problems in these three books. She also had to do the semi-final and final papers from previous years, and she had to spend time watching the experiments… She wished she could stay up at night and study 24 hours a day.
Seeing her like this,
Other students also gradually copied her when they saw her like this. They brushed up on questions and reviewed the material.
So the most free person became Li Wei instead.
If someone stood on the podium at this time, they would find that if they could draw a curved line starting from the aisle by the window, dividing the entire classroom into two completely different scenes.
In one scene, there were ten people, busy writing, racing against time, as if they were going to take the college entrance examination the next day.
And the other scene was by the window of the classroom. There was only one person. The youth had an exquisite side face, nice browbones, and a casual sitting position. His slender fingers were flipping through a stack of papers. He occasionally slept when he was tired, or looked at the rain outside the window. He was relaxed as if he was drinking afternoon tea.
After watching the rain outside the window, he turned his face, laid down on the desk, and blinked.
The girl on the other side of the aisle was less than one meter away from him, but it was like two worlds. In front of her were piles of problem sets, test papers, and practice books, as well as basic reference books, spread out on the pages to be used.
There was no extra space on the table for her arms to be on, and her posture looked uncomfortable. However, she didn’t care about it at all. Her pretty brows were furrowed all the time, and the pen in her hand never stopped.
Her pale and tender cheeks bulged slightly, as if she was holding her breath.
The look she had was very familiar. The shape of her eyebrows, the tip of her nose, the slightly rounded curve of her cheeks, and her small chin were so familiar that he could accurately imagine it in his mind even when he closed his eyes.
But even so, it was still not enough.
People were always dissatisfied with the things they liked.
The youth greedily looked at her side face, frowning slightly.
—His Man Man had not looked at him all day today.
In fact, it’s not just today. She was practically living at school almost every day, and the time they spent together was only a short ten minutes or so when he sent her back at night.
Because of their growing intimacy, how could it be enough for them to only spend ten minutes a day together?
That night, Zhang Man finished writing the last question of the day. She looked at the sky outside, and breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already half past nine in the evening, and more than half of the students in the physics class had left.
She rubbed her sore shoulders, packed her things and stood up. She walked to the boy, and tugged on his sleeve.
“Let’s go.”
“… Okay.”
They held hands and walked out of the building. The youth put his arm around her shoulders and opened a big black umbrella to cover them.
After being with her, all the umbrellas in the house were replaced with big ones.
They leaned against each other and walked into the rain. The big raindrops hit the umbrella surface, making a “squeaky” sound. Zhang Man could even feel the vibration generated by the umbrella surface being hit.
Zhang Man hid obediently in the boy’s arms. She looked up at his profile quietly, and felt a lot more relaxed.
No matter how tired or tense the day was, looking at him made her full of motivation.
She was concentrating so much on him that she was not paying attention to anything else. She stepped into a puddle on the concrete road, and the water splashed up.
“… Man Man, don’t look at me when you’re walking, look at the road.”
The youth coughed lightly, and his annoyed mood became a little more cheerful.
Zhang Man was taken aback, and she blushed quietly.
It turns out that every time she peeked at him, he knew… wasn’t that too embarrassing?
It’s getting late now. She suddenly remembered that the youth would send her off every day, and it would be dark when he came home. Thus, she felt a little distressed.
“Hey, boyfriend, why don’t you be like everyone else and go home first? M I can ask Uncle Xu or my mom to pick me up at night.”
It was a well-meaning proposal, but it made the joyful youth’s face darken in an instant.
So, she wanted to give up the ten minutes they had together.
The youth was sullen, and said in a firm voice, “No.”
He looked down at the girl. He put his arm up, and pinched her cheek.
The girl in his arms cried out in surprise. She raised her head, and looked at him nervously. In the dark night, her eyes were sparkling, and astonishingly bright.
“Why did you pinch me? It hurts…”
The soft voice made his heart soften.
The youth’s heart was pounding slightly, and he sighed helplessly. He rubbed his fingers on the part of her cheek that had been pinched by him to show comfort.
—Forget it, what does he care about with her?
Her face was small and her chin was pointy, but she still had a lot of flesh on her cheeks. After rubbing her, he felt that his fingers were on a piece of silky softness, which made the youth’s heart flutter.
He lowered his head, his thin lips wanted to touch her other cheek, but—
“Li Wei, I still don’t understand the eighth question about the electromagnetism part you talked about today, can you explain it to me again?”
“…”
