Study Whenever You Can

No one could say exactly when the change began, but Yan Zhan, once known as the class underachiever, suddenly hit her stride in her studies. From then on, she shot to fame and won so many awards she could hardly keep track of them. Shen Shike, who had always been the pride of the heavens, found the competition class more and more challenging. After class one day, the discouraged boy lifted his head from his desk. His dark eyes were full of disappointment. "Yan Zhan, how do you do it? Could you give me a few pointers?" "Pointers?" The girl looked confused. She tapped his cheek, then ruffled his fluffy hair. "Like this?" Shen Shike froze. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded almost unconsciously. "...Yeah." His eyes darted away as he turned his head slightly. "You should give me more pointers from now on." Curious, the girl watched his cheeks grow redder and pinched his earlobe. "Your ears are so red. Do they need a little 'pointing' too?"
