Chapter 171 The beginning of love
"Huh? No, he's just like that, isn't he?" Ting Nan thought it was normal.
"No, that's not true at all. Look how well he takes care of you! He arranges everything perfectly for you. I even saw him putting snacks in your table!"
"Oh! Why didn't you say so sooner? I thought you put it there and ate it directly!"
"You idiot, you're blaming me? I usually just give it to you directly."
"Ah, then I won't eat it anymore!" Song Tingnan quickly declared, unwilling to accept a reward without having done so.
Tao Huahua pushed Tingnan anxiously, "What? If it's delicious, just eat it. Otherwise, if you give it back to him, what about Sheng-ge's reputation?"
"Hey, are you two girls arguing?" Zhong Shengli chased after them from behind.
Tao Huahua said irritably, "What? We're fine, we were just joking around, you know? Why are you everywhere?"
“Tao Huahua, school’s over, I have to go home too, I haven’t even left the school gate yet!” Zhong Shengli retorted.
"Hmph! Which eye of yours saw us arguing?"
"I saw you push someone with both my left and right eyes, and with quite a bit of force. What if Song Tingnan had fallen and gotten hurt?"
"You..." Tao Huahua was so angry she looked like a pufferfish. Ting Nan watched the two bickering from the side and found it quite amusing, just hoping she wouldn't be dragged into it.
"Huahua, do you know what? Yang Meng, that classmate of ours, seems a bit simple-minded, but I didn't expect him to get the last question right on yesterday's physics exam. He got first place in the whole class." Song Tingnan interjected to change the subject.
Tao Huahua snapped out of her thoughts and nodded, "Yeah, he usually works very hard and his ranking is pretty high. Ting Nan, be careful he doesn't surpass you."
"Hmm, he must be one of those people who are wise in disguise! You really can't judge a book by its cover. He always seems a beat slow on the uptake. I need to learn from him and be more focused." Ting Nan really felt like she was getting a little carried away.
Zhong Shengli said from the side, "You're great! You'll definitely be number one!"
"Hehehe, thank you! Zhong Shengli, I only found out today that you put the snacks in my desk. Thank you, but please don't put them in there again. Um... eating too many snacks won't help you grow taller." Ting Nan was used to speaking clearly and resolving problems as soon as they arose, and she even came up with a reasonable excuse on the spot.
"Oh...you're not growing taller? Okay then, I'll bring you milk from now on!"
"No...no, I don't like it, it has a strange taste." He dared not agree; milk was expensive, and where would a student like him get the money? Besides, her godfather had ordered fresh milk for her and Yuan'er, delivered to their door every morning.
"Alright then!" Zhong Shengli's voice was a little choked up.
"Thank you! Huahua, let's hurry up, our godmother is waiting for us to eat." Tingnan didn't realize what she meant and pulled Tao Huahua to quicken their pace.
"She really doesn't understand anything..." Zhong Shengli muttered to himself, feeling a little frustrated as he lagged behind.
"Ting Nan, Zhong Shengli..." Tao Huahua had just opened her mouth when Ting Nan covered her mouth, "Don't talk about him, it would be embarrassing if we ran into him again."
"Oh!" Tao Hua felt inexplicably down. Ting Nan didn't notice that she was still thinking about that physics problem.
In this final exam, Tingnan didn't get first place; Yang Meng came in first, and she came in second. Tingnan was a little disappointed, but she could accept it because Yang Meng was incredibly hardworking and focused on his studies; he was completely immersed in his learning. Tingnan felt that she should also try harder, and wondered if her godmother was disappointed?
