I Know Women's Hearts, Xue Hongyun's Thoughts
The ability of I Know Women's Hearts was passive.
As long as there were women nearby having thoughts, he would know them.
Now, Lin Yuan heard the inner thoughts of several girls in the class.
The girl next to him looked troubled. Her inner thoughts were: My roommate said my face looks dark today. What do I do? Is there any way to make it fairer?!
One chubby girl thought, Starting today, I'm going on a diet!
At the same time, the inner thoughts of the class monitor, Xue Hongyun, were also caught.
Xue Hongyun sat silently at her desk, visibly furious. No one dared go over and speak to her.
Her thoughts were:
Damn Lin Yuan, you embarrassed me in public. This isn't over!
When you talked back to me in our first year of high school, I wanted to get revenge by pursuing you!
First, I'd make you fall completely in love with me. Once you couldn't pull yourself away, I'd dump you completely and let you experience heartbreak!
But you actually kept brushing me off. Then I'll first let everyone know I like you, then slowly ruin your reputation and turn you into the laughingstock of the whole school.
I'll pay you back a hundredfold for everything you did to me today. Just wait!
After learning what Xue Hongyun was thinking, Lin Yuan was stunned.
What a vicious woman.
Over such a small matter, she held such a grudge and wanted to take revenge on him this way.
Fortunately, he had not agreed to let Xue Hongyun pursue him. Otherwise, she would have led him around by the nose.
But after learning the truth, Lin Yuan became vigilant.
Xue Hongyun definitely would not let this go so easily. She would surely find every possible way to retaliate against him.
He had to be extra careful these next few days.
"Sorry, I used you as a shield."
To perfectly complete the system's choice, Lin Yuan had drunk the milk tea Gu Lianyin gave him right in front of Xue Hongyun to anger her.
"It's okay, it's okay~" Gu Lianyin shook her head.
At that moment, her inner thoughts were: Wasn't Lin Yuan a little too harsh on the class monitor...?
After seeing her thoughts, Lin Yuan did not want Gu Lianyin to misunderstand.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly leaned close to Gu Lianyin and whispered in her ear:
"Don't misunderstand. Actually, here's what happened..."
He briefly explained Xue Hongyun's intentions to Gu Lianyin.
"That's way too vicious!"
Gu Lianyin looked shocked.
She had never expected the class monitor to be that kind of person.
Lin Yuan helplessly spread his hands. "So, now that I've treated her like this, she'll probably retaliate against me before long."
"Though I don't know what kind of retaliation it'll be, I'll deal with whatever comes my way."
"But if she really dares to do it, she'd better be prepared to bear my wrath!"
At that moment, Gu Lianyin thought, I knew it. How could Lin Yuan be so excessive? It turns out the class monitor is just too awful.
Lin Yuan smiled. While the teacher had not arrived yet, he began chatting with Gu Lianyin.
As it turned out, they shared similar interests. They both liked novels, anime, horror movies...
The two got along better and better as they chatted, only stopping when the teacher entered the classroom.
The first class was math.
The teacher lectured earnestly at the podium.
Lin Yuan had already mastered all the high school senior-year math material, so his attention was not on the podium.
Gu Lianyin, on the other hand, listened very seriously, but her comprehension was poor. She got several math problems wrong.
Lin Yuan could not bear to watch and secretly explained them to her.
"Lianyin, this problem isn't done that way."
"Huh?"
Gu Lianyin raised her head and gave him a puzzled look.
Lin Yuan directly pointed out her mistakes and tried to teach Gu Lianyin using his own method.
Fortunately, Gu Lianyin was not stupid. She quickly understood and got the problem right.
As Lin Yuan looked at the problem, he unconsciously moved closer to Gu Lianyin. Less than two centimeters separated their faces.
Lin Yuan did not notice anything wrong.
Even if he had, he would not have thought much of it.
If Gu Lianyin had been a stunning beauty, he would have felt that this was inappropriate.
But she was not pretty now, so it did not matter, right?
Gu Lianyin, on the other hand, had never let a boy get this close to her. Her cheeks grew a little hot, and her heart began beating faster.
"Lin Yuan, pay attention in class. Stop whispering and disrupting the other students' studies!"
The math teacher noticed Lin Yuan spacing out and looked over.
"Come up and solve this problem!"
The math teacher spoke expressionlessly.
Everyone in the class knew how strict the math teacher was. If someone failed to pay attention and got called up to solve a problem they could not do, being made to stand was nothing. Calling their parents was the real nightmare.
Lin Yuan stood up from his seat.
Gu Lianyin looked at him with some concern.
Lin Yuan shook his head, signaling that she need not worry.
Then he walked to the podium, picked up a piece of chalk, and began solving the problem.
There were two problems on the blackboard. Lin Yuan did not know which one the teacher wanted him to solve, so he simply did both.
The classroom was completely quiet throughout the process. Everyone watched him.
After finishing, Lin Yuan put the chalk back in the chalk box and was about to return to his seat.
"Lin Yuan, wait a moment!"
The math teacher suddenly called out to him.
"Is there anything else, Teacher?"
Lin Yuan asked, then suddenly noticed that the math teacher and the entire class were looking at him strangely.
"Holy crap, he even solved the math formula the teacher was about to teach us!"
"No way, the teacher hasn't even taught this problem yet. How does Lin Yuan know it?"
"Could he have just guessed and scribbled something down?"
Quite a few students whispered among themselves.
"How did you know how to solve this problem?" The math teacher pointed at one of the problems and asked him directly.
Only then did Lin Yuan realize that the teacher had not covered this problem yet.
"I learned it after looking at it once."
He answered truthfully.
"You learned how to solve it after looking at it once?" The math teacher frowned. "Then explain how to solve it!"
"Okay!"
Next, Lin Yuan explained the solution to the problem in detail.
He explained it in a way that made it easy for everyone to understand, and the math teacher nodded to herself.
It was even more detailed and easier to understand than what she had planned to teach.
"Alright, you may go back."
Only then did Lin Yuan return to his seat.
After he returned, Gu Lianyin, his deskmate, looked at him differently.
"Lin Yuan, are you a top student?"
Lin Yuan gave a mysterious smile. "You tell me."
In fact, Lin Yuan's grades in class had always been ordinary, barely passing.
"Hmph, fine, don't tell me." Gu Lianyin playfully stuck out her little tongue.
He must be a top student. Sigh, if only he could tutor me...
Gu Lianyin thought to herself.
Although she had a pretty face, it had come at the cost of her intelligence.
Her grades rarely even passed.
If this continued, getting into university would be as difficult as reaching the heavens.
"Lin Yuan, can I discuss something with you~?"
Lin Yuan slightly turned his head. "What is it?"
"You must be really good at studying, right? Could you tutor me?"
"Of course, I won't ask you to tutor me for free. From now on, I'll cover your breakfast and lunch every day! What do you think?"
Lin Yuan thought for a moment after hearing that.
"That sounds pretty good."
"Is it okay, Lin Yuan~?"
Gu Lianyin tugged on his sleeve and gently shook it.
