Across from him, Zhuang Qiyan silently stared at Qiu Lingshan, a trace of anger in her narrowed eyes.
This person means trouble!
Qiu Lingshan was a Provincial Award winner. If even she couldn't solve the problem, did she really expect Song He to?
Everyone in the grade knew that she was close to Chu Long. With a Grandmaster-level mathematics expert by her side, she had chosen not to ask him for help and instead come harass a first-year high school student. Who would believe she had no ulterior motive?
Zhuang Qiyan pondered Qiu Lingshan's intentions and soon came to a conclusion.
Either she was using this as an excuse to hit on the handsome junior!
With Song He's looks, anyone who valued appearance would instinctively develop a favorable impression of him. And in this world, most people were appearance-driven. Qiu Lingshan was probably no exception.
Or she wanted to make things difficult for Song He!
Zhuang Qiyan didn't know why Qiu Lingshan was deliberately making things difficult, but she could roughly guess. Last night, Song He had broken Chu Long's record and become big news at school. Qiu Lingshan had very likely come at Chu Long's request, intending to suppress Song He and get revenge by putting him in his place.
Zhuang Qiyan glared fiercely at Qiu Lingshan, her thoughts spinning rapidly as she searched for an angle from which to attack her.
"Ugh, this is a little difficult!" Song He looked at the problem book and scratched his head. "Can you give me five minutes?"
"Sure, sure. Take your time!" Qiu Lingshan encouraged him with a smile.
Qiu Lingshan was secretly delighted. It's settled. He's taken the bait hook, line, and sinker! He even dared to announce the time himself!
Never mind five minutes—even if she gave him fifty,
