The 99th Divorce

It’s been a month since the new school term began.

The students had returned from the golden week. The holiday and the good times they had were still fresh in their minds. Li Sicheng took his two sons and daughter again to New Zealand. Everyone had a good time.

Li Jianyue still hadn’t gotten over the fun they had the past few days. She was having a problem getting back into studying mode.

She knew that the way she felt had nothing to do with the other students. She was the odd one out among them. She sighed and looked at herself with scorn.

Li Jianyue had remained uncomfortable from the time the two boys changed seats.

In the past, everyone had said Quan Jingyi was a spoiled child. And that he was the very definition of a delinquent.

The impression stemmed from speculation that in junior high, he always caused trouble among campus students. They saw him as the head of a gangster group.

Everyone was afraid of him.

After getting to know him, Li Jianyue believed that it was not an accurate picture of him.

Quan Jingyi didn’t like to talk to other people. But, he had never bullied anyone in the class. He didn’t get into fights, as claimed by the other students.

Even when he slept during lessons, he stayed in his seat. He never disturbed the person seated next to him.

It was enough a reason to make him a better deskmate than Sun Xiaoyu.

Sun Xiaoyu was already quite plump. After the holidays, he looked even more rounder.

It was infuriating that he was still feeling tired when he returned to school. As soon as he entered the classroom, he sat lazily and slept soundly.

He only broke out of his slumber after the teacher walked in for the morning self-study session.

Sun Xiaoyu took every opportunity to doze off. He did it when the teacher didn’t notice. It was the same when the other students were busy reading their textbooks. It was impossible to catch him when the students read aloud the textbooks’ contents.

His body started tilting towards Li Jianyue as he began to nap. It made Li Jianyue so angry that she poked him with her pen.

“Are you crazy?” Sun Xiaoyu, feeling the pain, jumped up and shouted.

The other students abruptly stopped reading aloud when they heard the commotion. Everyone looked at them.

The shout frightened Li Jianyue. When she saw the entire class staring at her, she said furiously, “You’re affecting my studies. If you want to sleep, go back home and sleep!”

Sun Xiaoyu was already irritated that his sleep had been interrupted. He grew more infuriated when Li Jianyue scolded him in front of everyone. “Why are you acting like a good student? I know that you doze off sometimes during the lessons. Do you think that you’re a good student? I believe that you have something against me. You don’t want to sit with me. You want to sit with Quan Jingyi, right?

Li Jianyue was fuming. “Sitting with Quan Jingyi is better than sitting with you. When you sleep in class, you affect other people. I don’t want to sit with you anymore!”

“Do you think that I want to sit with you?”

The students around them started talking among themselves. Li Jianyue slammed her pen on the table and turned around. She noticed Quan Jingyi looking at her.

It made Li Jianyue even more furious. Her dislike for Sun Xiaoyu grew stronger.

The teacher speedily intervened. Raising his voice, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Li Jianyue explained what had happened to the teacher.

Sun Xiaoyu spoke more forcefully. “Teacher, don’t listen to her nonsense. This Li Jianyue’s mind isn’t on studying at all. She only wants to sit with Quan Jingyi so that the two of them can start dating at a young age!”

It made Li Jianyue was so angry that she almost cried. “You’re spouting nonsense! I didn’t think this way!” she shouted.

“Bullshit! Even Yang Zihao fought with Quan Jingyi because he likes you. He used to be a model student. You are the source of trouble!”
