Wang Yue's Chain of Schemes

Xu Youshu hadn't expected Wang Yue to be so shameless. He'd even dragged him up to the front of the classroom to answer a question, which left Xu Youshu deeply dissatisfied. He completely forgot that he was just as shameless himself.

Xu Youshu only remembered that Wang Yue had tricked him again. Never mind his appallingly messy writing on the board—his math skills weren't good enough to solve the problem in the first place. Besides, he'd been so focused on Wang Yue that he hadn't listened to the lesson at all.
