Chapter 170 Girl’s Thoughts
Mu Xudong, standing beside her, reassured Ting Nan, "It's alright, Ting Nan. I know Teacher Dong well; we've played ball together before. We'll give Teacher Dong a long fleece coat—a new style, no doubt—he'll be overjoyed."
Jiang Qianqian said, "That's right, you're just a kid, don't worry about anything, focus on your studies. After the winter break, have Teacher Dong tutor you in physics for both semesters. Physics will get harder and harder, so you'll have to spend more time on it. Also, in the third year of junior high, there will be chemistry, and you'll have to put in some effort to understand that too."
"Thank you, godmother and godfather! You are so good to me, I will definitely repay you in the future!" Song Tingnan was really grateful. They treated her like their own daughter, buying her double everything, even more than Yuan'er.
"No need to thank me. We're family. Your future success is the best reward for us. Alright, eat up. The food will get cold quickly in this weather." Jiang Qianqian put some food on Tingnan's plate. This child is just too sensible.
It was freezing cold. In the morning, Tingnan was wrapped up like a ball by Jiang Qianqian. "Godmother, I'm not cold."
"Why aren't you cold anymore? Girls need to keep warm, you know? Didn't you learn that in biology class? You're still young, hurry up and put on your scarf and hat." Sigh, as always, there's a kind of cold that only your mother feels.
"Listen to Nan, listen to Nan," Tao Huahua caught up with them, "Don't wait for me after school today, I have to clean." They've been together all semester, since they go home the same way anyway.
Tao Huahua stopped hanging out with Tang Rourou and Wei Xiaowan. In Tingnan's words, she had cleared her head and her grades were slowly improving.
"Hehe, luckily I don't have to do the cleaning." (Ting Nan stabbed himself.)
Tao Huahua pouted, "Tch, Ting Nan, do you know who suggested that the top five students in the class don't have to clean?"
"Aren't they school teachers? It's the same in other classes, right?"
"No, that's not true. Only our class has this rule, and it was Zhong Shengli who suggested it!"
"Oh? Him? He wasn't even in the top five."
“Of course not, he’s right behind me. People say, ‘The top students should just focus on their studies, don’t bother them with these trivial things. Their good grades are what bring honor to our class,’ right?” Tao Huahua imitated Zhong Shengli’s arrogant way of speaking, making Ting Nan laugh.
"Huh, why does my ear feel a little itchy? Tao Hua, are you talking bad about me?" This is a bit awkward, I've run into the person in question.
Tao Hua chuckled, "I'm praising you, Victory Bro!"
"Hehehe, thank you! Song Tingnan, it's raining, why aren't you using an umbrella?" Zhong Shengli held the umbrella over Tingnan's head.
Song Tingnan said, "It's nothing, just a little rain. I wore a hat."
"Hey, Sheng-ge, I didn't bring an umbrella either! Why didn't you shield me from the rain?" Tao Hua shouted from the side. This Zhong Shengli was tall and strong, but he was very protective of his classmates, so no one was afraid of his bad reputation outside.
Zhong Shengli, being the straightforward guy he is, immediately retorted: "Didn't you bring an umbrella? Just open it. Besides, you're thick-skinned and tough, what are you comparing yourself to us Tingnan?"
"How...how dare you talk to me like that? You're infuriating!"
"Haha, finals are coming up soon, and our class's rotating red flag still depends on Tingnan. You can't catch a cold, so take good care of yourself!"
"Ah..." Tao Huahua was a little frantic. Don't you know how to be gentle and considerate?
How to describe Zhong Shengli? He can talk a good game about right and wrong, and he's never ambiguous when it comes to a problem. He'll take action when necessary and stand up for what's right, but he won't go against the teachers. At most, he'll doze off in class, and he's never late or leaves early. As for homework, his workbook is always there.
He also has a strong sense of collective honor. He signed up for many events at the National Day sports meet and won first place quite a few times, thanks to his long legs.
He usually acts carefree and doesn't do well in school, but he has a group of people who call him "Brother Sheng," and some girls like him, such as Tang Rourou who is infatuated with him, so he is quite famous.
He has a bit of a bandit-like air about him, but he's loyal and tolerant of his classmates, especially taking care of the high-achieving "younger classmate"—Song Tingnan. I heard that his grandfather was a veteran of the Red Army, the kind who went through the Long March.
"Tingnan, do you think Sheng-ge hates me?" Tao Huahua asked Tingnan quietly after school one day.
