"I can really help you if you want some from class Ten A to help you study," Han Zixin said again when he saw her deep in thought.
An Xiulan shook her head. No, she would never let Han Zixin face that person because of her, "You are Big Boss Han. You won't bend before Class Ten A. This is against your status."
An Xiulan's words made him see her in a new light.
She looked at the empty playground which was filled with students a few minutes ago and said, "I agree that they are superior to us in intelligence and grades but it doesn't mean they have any right to look down on us."
Han Zixin just listened to her words, not at all wanting to interrupt her while venting her feelings, "Although we are not good in studies, we have our talents. We all are unique in our own way."
"We all are one of a kind. We have our own pace of learning and growing. Just because other students are scoring full marks while we are struggling to pass exams does not make us dumb," An Xiulan said. She had lived for seventeen years in a family where she wasn't allowed to study or ask for an education. But ever since she had come to this world, she had started seeing positivity in everything.
Mona was a very good artist. Though she sucked at making portraits, her other works were amazing, worth publishing in school magazines. If her talent was valued and nurtured, one day she would become a great artist.
Song Ci had a sweet voice. She could sing better than anyone she had heard so far.
Ye Jun was good at joking. He would make an amazing comedian. [What?! being a comedian is a respectable job in modern times.]
An Xiulan raised her eyes and turned to look at Han Zixin. Her eyes shone with newly found determination and strength. Holding his shoulders, she said, "Han Zixin, no one can look down on us if we don't let them. No one can hurt our dignity if we don't give them the chance to. Perhaps, those looking down on us today will have to look up to us tomorrow."
Han Zixin's heart skipped a beat when he heard her words. He didn't realise how her words had settled deep in his heart. Many years from now when he would be in a position of life where no one would look down on him, he would remember her words.
For a girl who would spend her entire time fighting or arguing with him, her words surely hit a point. He might not be able to understand today but her confidence and determination had ignited a spark in his heart. And all he has to do is to wait for the spark to transform into a flame.
"So what if we are average students," An Xiulan said in a loud voice. "The low scorers. I believe that we have talents. It's up to us how we find that spark of talent in us and nurture it for the greater good."
"Cheat Prince, one day we will be so great and strong and all they ever can do is to be mean!" An Xiulan announced with a loud shriek.
Han Zixin had to pull her down and shut her mouth with his palm. Did she want to be punished by shouting in the playground when they were supposed to be in class?
However, he didn't want to tease her today. So, he praised her, " "Little blockhead, you aren't that dumb after all."
An Xiulan pouted as she heard his words. How mean! Why couldn't he praise her for the speech she made?
"Han Zixin, we will be back to enemies from tomorrow."
Han Zixin looked at her and raised his brow in question, "Why a break today?"
"Because I don't feel well today," An Xiulan grumbled. What was the point of fighting if both of them were vulnerable?
"Me too." Han Zixin heaved out a sigh. Even he didn't want to talk to anyone.
When An Xiulan noticed that he had a melancholic expression on his face once again, she took out candy from her pocket. She pinched his wrist and when he opened his mouth to scold her, she tossed candy in his mouth.
As sweet candy melted in his mouth, he forgot about his sadness for a while. With candy in his mouth, he would never scold or shout at anyone.
"Let's get back to enemies tomorrow again, "Han Zixin said, chewing on the sweet candy. He was mentally and physically exhausted. Thus, he would rather savour the candy than beat, someone, at this moment. As for that student of Class Ten K…
It would be a mystery for now.
