Chapter 126 – The Gloomy Yandere Top Student’s Little Deskmate

The Gloomy Yandere Top Student’s Little Deskmate (2)

Teacher Jiang suppressed the jumble of thoughts in her mind. “Student Xu, come with me to the classroom and give a self-introduction.”

Xu Xinghe followed Teacher Jiang into the classroom and stood quietly behind her, waiting for her to speak.

“Quiet!” Teacher Jiang called out habitually, then glanced back at Xu Xinghe, afraid that she would be scared by her.

“This is a new student joining us today. Everyone, let’s welcome her.”

As soon as Teacher Jiang’s words fell, the classroom erupted in enthusiastic applause, causing Shen Yao, who had been badmouthing Song Yu, to pause.

She didn’t remember having a transfer student, but she didn’t give it much thought.

Amidst the applause, whispers also broke out.

“She’s so cute!”

“Yeah, her eyes are big. She’s totally an adorable girl.”

“My eyes probably aren’t even as big as the area under her eye, right?”

“No, you’re wrong. They’re not even as big as her double eyelids.”

…

Song Yu was irritated by the sudden whispers around him. Why were these people so noisy?

He glanced up at the podium. His overly long bangs made it hard to see clearly. He could only make out a blurry figure that seemed to be a girl.

Soon enough, Song Yu lost interest and lowered his head again, sinking back into his thoughts about solving problems.

Xu Xinghe stepped forward, a gentle smile never leaving her face.

She wore a simple fitted white dress, and her skin was as fair and translucent as jade.

Her voice was soft, yet without any trace of coquettishness.

“Hello everyone, my name is Xu Xinghe. Please take good care of me!”

Teacher Jiang nodded in satisfaction and motioned for the boys who were making a ruckus to quiet down.

Then Teacher Jiang looked hesitantly at the last remaining seat. In fact, she knew Song Yu was actually very smart. It was just his family situation that had shaped his current personality.

He didn’t fit in with others and spent all his time buried in his books. It was inevitable that his classmates would ostracize him. She had tried to intervene at first, but there were always times when she couldn’t keep an eye on everything.

Before Teacher Jiang could even ask, Xu Xinghe had already put on her little bunny backpack and asked, “Teacher Jiang, can I choose my own seat?”

Teacher Jiang naturally nodded, thinking that even if she didn’t want to sit there, she could just bring in a new chair for her.

After receiving permission, Xu Xinghe’s smile deepened. Both boys and girls who passed by her were momentarily stunned.

Xu Xinghe headed straight for the empty seat in the last row. Under the astonished eyes of all her classmates, she sat down right next to Song Yu.

Song Yu only noticed when someone sat down beside him. He turned his head to look.

Xu Xinghe sensed his gaze, but his bangs were so long that she couldn’t see his eyes at all.

“Hello, deskmate.” Xu Xinghe tilted her head, trying to peek through his bangs to see the look in his eyes.

Song Yu didn’t answer. Beneath his bangs, his eyes widened involuntarily. He didn’t even notice that his hand had loosened its grip on the pen.

“Clatter—” The sound of the pen hitting the floor snapped him back to reality.

Song Yu panicked and lowered his head. Those eyes that were always distant and cold were now trembling uncontrollably, just like his heart at this moment…

Song Yu leaned down to pick up his pen from the floor, but in his haste, he didn’t pay attention and their heads bumped into each other mid-air.

“Hiss!” Xu Xinghe had already picked up his fallen pen with one hand, while the other hand covered the spot on her forehead where they collided.

Song Yu grew even more flustered. He straightened up, wanting to check her injury. It was all his fault for being careless. She must hate him now, right?

But because his bangs were too long, no matter how he looked, he couldn’t see clearly. For the first time, Song Yu hated the bangs that covered his face.

“I… I’m sorry.” Song Yu’s voice, unused to speaking for so long, came out a little hoarse, filled with guilt and remorse.

He really wanted to rub it for her. Her skin was so delicate, it must be red and swollen by now, right?

Xu Xinghe only felt a brief pain at the moment of impact. After rubbing it for a while, it didn’t hurt anymore.
