Although Teacher Wu's Rocket Class was the cream of the crop for the science track, the other classes still had a few top students of their own. Altogether, about ten were gathered from them.
The Rocket Class itself contributed eleven students.
Teacher Wu leaned against the lectern, gesturing toward the empty desks and chairs as he said to Xu Su and the others, "Just find a seat anywhere. From now on, you'll come to this classroom for evening self-study. I won't be assigning seats, so sit wherever you like."
Xu Su: "..."
She was reminded of what Xi Zirong had said that afternoon.
'Want to give being my deskmate a try?'
Xu Su wanted to wait for Xi Zirong to choose his seat before picking hers, but she saw the boy just standing off to the side, not making a move.
...Ultimately, Xu Su wasn't as patient as Xi Zirong. He could stand there under everyone's stares without batting an eye, but she couldn't.
