Chapter 21

Encounter Her Love At the Corner

Chu Ning pulled out a chair and sat opposite Yan Shen.

This interrupted Yan Shen.

Yan Shen only raised his head to look at her, then immediately lowered his head to look at the book in his hand. He didn’t say anything.

Chu Ning said with a faint smile, “That question isn’t that difficult. I saw you calculating on the draft paper just now. Actually, you used the formula incorrectly, so you took many detours, which make the final result incorrect.”

She wanted to defeat Yan Shen on the subject that he was best at.

“Huh? You know how to do it?” Yan Shen looked at her coldly and asked.

“Bring the draft paper over.” Chu Ning didn’t say anything more. She wanted to use her actions to show him.

A few minutes later.

Chu Ning leisurely returned to where Xu Xi and the others were.

Yan Shen fell into deep thought as he watched Chu Ning’s calculations. For the first time, as he watched Chu Ning slowly walk away, he began to have a good impression of this girl from the bottom of his heart…

“Could it be that everything from before was just an illusion…” Yan Shen muttered to himself. When he thought of Chu Ning’s absurd behaviour, he subconsciously shook his head.

However, this had a different meaning in Xu Xi’s eyes.

For some reason, he felt irritated.

When he saw Chu Ning talking and laughing with that man very intimately, for the first time in so many years, he felt jealous…

But then, a deep sense of inferiority enveloped him deeply.

“Chu Ning… she likes well-versed men,” Xu Xi said with a bitter smile. This was no secret to all those in school.

Moreover, he wasn’t sure if he liked Chu Ning.

“What are you thinking about? Focus on answering the question.” Chu Ning used her slender fingers to gently tap the table next to Xu Xi as she reminded him to focus.

“I still don’t understand this question. Although I know the result, I’m a little confused by the process.”

Xu Xi g took out a mock exam paper. He pointed at the last question on it and asked Chu Ning for guidance humbly.

Chu Ning was very patient as she explained to Xu Xi. The two of them would have physical contact from time to time. In order to let Xu Xi hear more clearly, Chu Ning stayed very close to him. Xu Xi could even smell the faint fragrance from Chu Ning’s body…

“Do you understand?” After Chu Ning finished explaining, she didn’t forget to ask Xu Xi, who was beside her. He was a big client after all.

“I understand. I understand,” Xu Xi hurriedly nodded and answered.

“Then why are you blushing?”

Chu Ning looked at Xu Xi curiously and asked.

“Uh… well, maybe I ate something I’m allergic to tonight…”

Xu Xi quickly explained.

“Okay, it’s fine as long as you understand it. These kinds of question have similar solving methods.”

Chu Ning replied. She didn’t think too much about it. He was like a little brother to her.

Halfway through, Chu Ning went to the bathroom. She didn’t expect Yan Shen to just happen to come out from the men’s bathroom.

“No way, why is the timing such a coincidence?” Chu Ning complained inside, but she still said, “What a coincidence!”

She didn’t expect Yan Shen to ignore her greeting and directly walk toward her with his eyes burning.

As Yan Shen approached, Chu Ning subconsciously stepped back.

“Hey! What does this little brat want? Don’t come over… If you come over, I’ll call for help!” Chu Ning thought, but in the end, she held back and didn’t make a sound. Yan Shen had forced her to the corner of the wall.

At this time, the distance between the two was very close.

The distance between their faces was less than 20 centimetres. It was even closer than the last time, when they were on the bus.

“What do you want?”

In the end, it was Chu Ning who couldn’t hold back and spoke first.

“Did you solve that question by yourself? Or did you just happen to see it in a certain book and then remember it?”

Yan Shen looked into her eyes as he enunciated each word clearly.

“You don’t believe me? I thought you had something important to say. If you don’t believe me, you can just randomly find a similar question and see if I can do it.”

Chu Ning heaved a sigh of relief inside. This was it? From Yan Shen’s attitude, if it wasn’t because he wanted something to happen between them, it must be because he was a little contemptuous of her.

On what basis could a rich young lady like Chu Ning find the answer to a question that even Yan Shen couldn’t answer?
