All Her Secrets by Chestnut

It was true that the jinx was still a jinx, no matter where she was. She only brought trouble to those around her. Liana only had to wait for the show to begin.

Liana put the exercise in her hands away deliberately and sighed. “What should we do? Now that the teacher is not here, I don’t have anyone to ask about this question I can’t solve. Poor me! What will happen to me in the test next week?”

With that, Liana’s deskmate leaned over, took a look at her exercise, and frowned. “Liana, yout are only having trouble with the final and hardest question. I, on the other hand, can’t even. solve the ones on the first page. I was hoping for the teacher to teach me about it in class. Who knew that things would become like they are now?”

Others around them soon echoed her complaints. The students grumbled one after another.

“That’s right. I’m having trouble with it too. Say, would the teacher be so mad that she would leave us to study on ourselves from now on!”

“What should we do? I was already bad at mathematics before! I’m done for. It is all the new student’s fault. Why does she have to drag us down to her level?”

“She has gone too far!”

It went on and on.

The complaints grew louder and louder until even Bryan couldn’t take it anymore.

He stood up and glared at those that kept grumbling around him.

When they met Bryan’s cold gaze, the students knew Bryan was angry and lowered their voices gradually.

Even though they didn’t dare to discuss it anymore, they were still unhappy about it.

At first, they were only mad at Catherine, not Bryan.

Someone even started complaining, “God knows what the new student has done to Bryan to make him protect her like this. Is he blind?”

The expression on Bryan’s face turned even uglier. He was about to lose his temper.

Just then, David leaned over and whispered to him, “Bryan, you can’t afford to offend

everyone.”

Bryan glared at him, only to see David pointing at something behind him in horror.

Bryan turned to look behind him and found that Catherine had gotten up again.

This time, Catherine’s eyes were still out of focus. It was as if she was still in a daze.

Catherine looked less cold and fierce, which made her look particularly cute in Bryan’s eyes.

In fact, Bryan didn’t dare to look at Catherine now and felt his cheek redden slightly.

In a daze, Catherine grabbed the exercise on the desk and took a glance at the questions on it.

The seemingly complicated questions were even easier than the sum of one plus one in Catherine’s eyes.

She threw the exercise at Bryan and called out to him coldly, “Bryan!”

Bryan responded reflexively in a loud voice as though he was in a trance, “I’m here!”

Stunned by Bryan’s reaction, David couldn’t help but think that he was indeed under a spell to listen to everything Catherine said.

Bryan had responded without thinking. Even Bryan was somewhat surprised at himself.

However, he didn’t have time to think about this now. Bryan turned to look at Catherine and asked respectfully, “Is there anything you need me for?”
