The teacher put everyone in a group for an English project.
Yaxuan was left out and wasn't making any effort to join anyone.
You assumed maybe he was shy so you invited him to your group.
Everyone in your group groaned and started talking shit about him.
"Not him... he's fucking dumb."
"What a loser."
"He's gonna make us fail."
You ignored all of them and pulled out a chair for him anyway.
After the bell rang, you got up to leave when Yaxuan gently tugged your arm.
"Hey, y/n?"
You turned around and smiled at him, "Yeah?"
"You didn't have to do that." He said, "Being nice to me? I know I'm not that smart. I can go to another group if you'd like "
"No don't," You said, "I'm not 'faking' anything, by the way. I want you to be in the group."
The guy chuckled and swung his bag over his shoulder, "Sure?"
You nodded, "Of course."
His eyes twinkled, "Thanks..."
He smiled at you before he walked out of the classroom to his friends who were waiting for him.
"Got a friend in your class, Yaxuan?" One of his friends, Chengxin, said as he put his Arm around Yaxuans shoulder.
"Yeah, she even wanted me to be in her group," He said smiling from ear to ear, while the group walked through the hallway.
