If the world had no daytime (GL)

Chapter 4

The cicadas outside the window were shrieking their lungs out in the sweltering heat of the afternoon. The chalk screeched against the blackboard, leaving behind another character.

The student in front of her quietly opened a thermos. With a “pop,” the carbonated cola fizzed, and a hint of icy coolness was carried in by the breeze.

Propping up her math textbook to block the sunlight coming in from the window, Bai Tian glanced over, her mind already calculating how long the ice cola could stay cold in the thermos.

But carrying a school bag was already tiring enough. Adding another bottle would make it even heavier.

Ugh, so annoying. She’d just have to make Fat Liu carry it.

Wiping away the sweat that had trickled down her neck, she subconsciously fanned herself with her hand and listlessly looked at the chubby old man at the podium writing on the blackboard.

Math class always drags on forever.

Thinking that the next class would probably be math too, Bai Tian started to consider skipping.

Her deskmate passed her a wet tissue. Bai Tian took it, tore it open, and wiped her face and neck, finally feeling a little cooler.

“Thanks,” she said as she wiped.

The other person just smiled and lowered their head to continue taking notes.

From Bai Tian’s angle, she could clearly see the neat and beautiful handwriting, flowing smoothly, word by word. It was pleasing to the eye.

But when she looked at the content, Bai Tian couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

Such a show-off.

She turned her head and continued to close her eyes and rest under Old Bald Li's watchful eye.

In everyone’s eyes, Ye Wan's excellence was directly proportional to her efforts.

No one could be fully engaged in every subject, every class, without getting distracted or missing notes. Because humans aren’t machines, everyone gets tired.

But when someone was yawning and daydreaming, if they glanced over, they could see Ye Wan listening to the lecture and taking notes.

So, while they resentfully put their thoughts aside, they couldn't help but exclaim, "The top student is truly the top student."

If even those who are better than you are working harder, what excuse do you have for not trying?

Under Ye Wan's subtle influence, the learning atmosphere in Class A became unprecedentedly thick, making Old Bald Li very pleased.

Bai Tian scoffed at this.

She bet Liu Ran’s three boxes of snacks that she, her deskmate, had already finished learning all the content for the first year of high school.

Maybe even more than that.

Thinking back to a certain PE class when she sneaked back to the classroom and accidentally saw the other person’s open economics and applied mathematics textbook on their desk, Bai Tian glanced at the person who was still diligently taking notes and wanted to roll her eyes.

But she could more or less understand the other person's behavior. After all, people who are excellent without having to work hard would really be hated.

Like herself.

“Bai Tian!”

Standing on the podium and turning around to see the person who was dozing off, Old Bald Li roared, and threw the chalk eraser at her.
