Jiangnan Base City, Yian District No. 3 High School.
Grade 12, Class 6.
On the podium, a middle-aged teacher wearing glasses was explaining a problem, and the students in the class were listening attentively.
The college entrance exam was only a month away; the moment that would determine their fates was fast approaching.
However, in the back row, one student was zoning out.
No, to be precise, he was dozing off—or to put it more politely, he was "fishing."
The teacher had noticed long ago, but he acted as if he hadn't seen it, as if he had already grown accustomed to this.
"Alright, that's all for today's problems. Use the remaining time to review on your own," the teacher said.
After finishing the lesson, the teacher stepped down from the podium and walked straight toward the student who was dozing off.
When the teacher reached the student, he didn't show any anger; instead, he smiled. "Student Xu Qing, it's time for lunch."
"Ah? Is it time to eat?" The student's body jerked violently, and then he stood up with a start.
In an instant, the entire class looked over, and upon seeing the confused expression on their classmate's face, they burst into laughter.
It wasn't the first time the class had witnessed such a scene, and it managed to amuse them every single time.
The student who had been woken up slowly regained his senses. Realizing the situation, he looked at the teacher beside him with a guilty conscience and muttered, "Teacher, you're too much. How many times has this been now?"
This student was very beautiful, with a pair of large, watery almond eyes, a small face, fair skin with a rosy tint, and delicate features that gave off a cute impression.
However, this student had short, jet-black hair and was wearing a boy's uniform—a pure white, short-sleeved, stand-up collar shirt—and was quite tall, standing just over 1.7 meters.
Clearly, this was a boy.
"Student Xu Qing, even if you are in the top three of the grade, there is only one month left until the college entrance exam. Can't you be a little more nervous?" The teacher looked at him, feeling both amused and helpless.
As for this student, his academic performance was beyond reproach; he dominated the top three of the grade every single time.
What was even stranger was that no matter the difficulty of the exam, he always scored exactly 700 points—not a point more, not a point less. He was a student like a god.
Yet, this god-like student had a flaw: he loved to doze off, and he did it during class, just like the failing students.
And yet, he could still score 700 points every time. Isn't that strange?
"Why should I be nervous?" Xu Qing looked at the teacher and blinked, his eyes pure and innocent.
The teacher was left speechless. He just wanted Xu Qing to feel a bit more pressure.
After all, with the college entrance exam approaching, the entire class had become anxious. If only Xu Qing remained the same as usual, didn't that seem a bit unreasonable?
However, even though he thought this, he felt embarrassed to say it out loud.
Because Xu Qing's grades were truly beyond reproach; dominating the top three of the grade every time was a high enough standard of quality.
Moreover, with Xu Qing's grades, he could get into any top-tier university in Huaxia without any pressure at all.
"Look, the teacher has been stumped by Xu Qing again. It's like this every time, and he never tires of it. He must just love to play around," some students whispered to each other.
"This is the power of a top student. It's a subtle flex. I admire it."
"Exactly. It's just a pity that Student Xu Qing isn't a real girl. If only he were a girl."
"Hehe, brother, I feel you..."
Ring-a-ling!
Coincidentally, the bell for the end of class rang at that moment.
The teacher surrendered to Xu Qing's pure gaze and shook his head with a smile. "Alright, class dismissed."
The students left their seats one after another and walked out of the classroom.
"Xiao Qing," a few girls walked over. The girl in the lead was very pretty, with shoulder-length hair and the temperament of a refined young lady.
"Sister Xin," Xu Qing rubbed his eyes, then realized something and poked his fingers together in embarrassment.
Seeing his bashful appearance, Xu Xin smiled. "You, even the teachers can't do anything about you."
In the entire class, only Xu Qing dared to be this casual in front of the teachers of various subjects. If it were any other student, they would have been called to the office for a lecture long ago.
"Xu Xin, your brother is truly adorably naive, yet he manages to dominate the top three of the grade in every exam," the girls nearby said with a laugh.
"Xu Xin, look, the final year is almost over and the college entrance exam is coming up. Why don't you let your brother be my boyfriend? Who knows, we might not even see each other after this," said a pretty girl wearing glasses.
Xu Xin rolled her eyes at her. "No way. Xiao Qing is still young; he doesn't understand these things. Besides, you know the exam is right around the corner. Instead of studying hard and preparing, you're thinking about dating?"
"I just can't bear to let it go! Your brother scores 700 points every time; I definitely won't have a chance in the future. At least satisfy my wish for now," the girl with glasses said, looking at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was very good-looking. Although he had a feminine appearance and many girls didn't really see him as a boy, there were some who specifically liked this type, and the girl with glasses was one of them.
Furthermore, he had good grades and a good personality, though he was a bit naive and often zoned out for no reason. Many girls found him quite cute.
Coupled with the fact that he was a top student, there were quite a few girls in school who liked him. There were also many who were indifferent, and as for girls who disliked him, while not non-existent, they were very few and far between.
Not to mention among the girls, even among the boys, most of them liked him quite a bit.
However, Xu Xin kept a close watch on Xu Qing and didn't let him date other girls, saying he was still young and didn't understand these things.
Otherwise, among the girls who were close to Xu Xin, there would definitely be someone who wanted to date Xu Qing.
"That won't work either, don't even think about it," Xu Xin refused flatly. That would just be playing around, it's too scummy.
Seeing that Xu Xin wouldn't budge at all, the few girls felt helpless. Xu Xin watched over her younger brother too closely, not giving them even a sliver of a chance.
"Xiao Qing, let's go," Xu Xin called out.
She had an older brother several years her senior, but she didn't have any younger siblings.
When she was six, the elders found her a few playmates of the same age, and Xu Qing was one of them.
In the end, of those playmates, Xu Qing was the only one who remained by her side. Xu Qing was a few months younger than her, so she treated him like her own younger brother and doted on him greatly.
"Oh," Xu Qing nodded, packed up his schoolbag, and followed her out of the classroom.
Arriving at the school gate, Xu Qing and Xu Xin parted ways with those girls.
Seeing them walk together, basically no one would mistake them for a couple, because of how Xu Qing looked and his slender build; it was easy to mistake him for a girl wearing boys' clothes.
Even those who knew them were aware of the sibling relationship between them.
While walking along the roadside, Xu Qing seemed a bit distracted, though he didn't end up bumping into anything while walking.
Watching Xu Qing walk as if he were in a daze, Xu Xin was already used to it. He had been like that since he was a child, always looking like he was contemplating the meaning of life, or perhaps thinking about absolutely nothing at all.
How should she put it? If she had to describe him with a magical animal, it would be a capybara.
Yes, a capybara, the only thing he was truly interested in was food.
That was why the teacher used those kinds of words to wake him up during class; it was extremely effective and worked every single time.
