Help from the Desk-mate

Jiang Biren had no idea how terrifying her own idea was; the more she considered it, the more perfect it seemed.

However, she didn't know if Gu Nanshan would be willing to play this game with her. But seeing how he was usually quite easy to talk to, it shouldn't be a problem... right?

After mulling it over for a while, Jiang Biren decided that in order to enjoy herself to the fullest, she had to treat Gu Nanshan very well from now on.

When she returned his homework to him, she even threw in a sweet, friendly smile.

Gu Nanshan was taken aback, his lips curling slightly. "Speak up. Aside from borrowing my homework to copy, what else do you want me to help you with?"

Jiang Biren’s eyes widened in surprise. Had she been seen through so quickly?

Jiang Biren felt this was truly unscientific. She didn't know how to bring *that* matter up yet, so she avoided the subject and feigned dissatisfaction. "Is me smiling at you only because I need a favor? Can't I just smile for the sake of it?"

Hearing her words, Gu Nanshan’s eyelashes fluttered as he laughed heartily. "Of course you can. You're always welcome to smile at me."

She didn't know why, but she felt Gu Nanshan was acting a bit strange.

Jiang Biren pondered for two minutes, but unable to guess what Gu Nanshan was thinking, she brushed it aside.

She handed the completed homework to the Subject Representative and then happily went to find her boyfriend.

"Academic Rep, the notes you made for me were really useful! Thank you!"

The Academic Representative blushed all the way to his ears as he pushed up his glasses. "It... it's good that you could use them."

"By the way, I wanted to ask you something." Jiang Biren sat down next to him. "How do you finish all the homework? I tried my best, but I still couldn't finish and always end up copying from others."

"This, well...!" The Academic Representative looked extremely flustered, frantically adjusting his glasses and stammering, "I don't know... maybe because I calculate relatively fast and don't need to use much scratch paper?"

Jiang Biren could tell that the Academic Rep didn't understand the heart of an Academic Slacker like her at all. His eyes clearly seemed to ask: "How could you not finish the homework even after trying your best?"

His confused attempt at a reason was like a dagger through her heart.

"Academic Gods are so terrifying. This humble one shall take her leave." Jiang Biren cupped her hands in a mock salute and made a move to stand up.

Jiang Biren was only joking, but the Academic Rep thought she was actually leaving. He panicked and grabbed her hand, only to let go immediately as if he had been electrocuted.

"Um... if you're willing... I'm ready to help with anything, you can come to me anytime." The Academic Rep was tense, his words a bit jumbled. "If there's any part of the homework you don't understand, I can explain it to you."

Jiang Biren opened her clear, innocent eyes and asked, "Then can you help me do my homework?"

"Homework... it's better to do it yourself. That knowledge is needed for exams. You can come see me whenever you want, and I'll explain it to you." Seeing Jiang Biren's expression and fearing she might be unhappy, he quickly added, "If... if you really can't finish it, I... I'll do it for you."

Whoa, dating a boyfriend like this was truly like finding a treasure.

Jiang Biren suddenly felt a faint glimmer of hope regarding the university entrance exams.

The school bell rang, and Jiang Biren returned to her seat. Gu Nanshan suddenly spoke up: "If there's anything in the lecture you don't understand, you can ask me anytime.

Besides, I can also help you do your homework."

Jiang Biren turned to look at him in astonishment.

"We sit close together, so it's more convenient to communicate, isn't it?"
