115 115 The top student character setting
Li Li was worried for Tan Rou. It was obvious that it was Tan Jing and her group of bootlickers, but they had no solid evidence. Tan Rou did not allow her to quarrel with Chen Xiao because she was afraid that they would be wasting their time. It was impossible for them to win the argument.
Li Li sighed helplessly. Tan Rou was such a good person, but she was always bullied by people like Tan Jing. This stimulated Li Li’s sense of justice and desire to protect her.
She took the initiative to say to Tan Rou, “Xiao Rou, don’t worry. I’ll lend you my books. Let’s study together!”
Tan Rou smiled at Li Li and patted her to comfort her. She turned around and mouthed, “Don’t worry, I did it on purpose.”
Then, she gave Li Li a playful look.
Li Li’s eyes widened slightly. She realized that there were still students around looking at her, so she quickly pretended that she didn’t know anything. She winked at Tan Rou to hint at her before returning to her seat.
Li Li still looked worried, but she was secretly happy deep inside.
She had complete trust in Tan Rou. Since Tan Rou said it was fine, she must have figured something out. There must be a reason for her to deliberately make such a big scene and allow the whole class to hear it. After all, she couldn’t just suffer in silence! Sure enough, Xiao Rou was the smartest!
Tan Rou tidied up the desk and secretly frowned in disgust.
It didn’t matter if the books had been stolen, but Tan Rou felt very disgusted that those people had casually flipped through her things.
The strict and even perverted training she had experienced abroad had a great influence on Tan Rou, making her very territorial.
This was because one careless move could lead to an ambush. So, she had to be extra careful with her clothes, food, shelter, and transportation. These trials always came inadvertently, so Tan Rou had to be on guard at all times and make sure that she was in a safe environment. If anyone broke in, she would definitely take them as her target.
After returning to China, in the collective environment of the campus, she naturally could not be as different as she used to be. However, Tan Jing’s action still provoked Tan Rou.
Tan Rou sneered. It was not difficult to guess what Tan Jing had in mind. She valued reputation and status the most. Recently, Tan Jing had been continuously defeated and her reputation, which Tan Jing valued the most, had been badly damaged. This morning, there were so many people who supported her to be the new school Belle. Now that this title is gone, Tan Jing must be infuriated. So, Tan Jing wanted to beat her in academics. She was afraid that Tan Rou would do better than her and steal her status as the top student.
Unfortunately, Tan Jing was going to be disappointed.
When it came to their academics, even ten ‘Tan Jing’s would not be able to beat her. Tan Rou’s brain, which had undergone high-intensity training, was like a printer, automatically storing knowledge into Tan Rou’s mind. This was something that no one could steal.
No matter how much Tan Jing struggled, it was all in vain. However, Tan Rou would not allow Tan Jing to be aware of all these now. Tan Jing would only be angrier when she suffered a blow after being smug first.
Tan Rou tidied up the table and wiped it a few times with a disinfectant wipe, allowing her to feel more comfortable.
At this moment, the teacher walked in and said, “You will be allowed to revise freely today. Everyone must read through all the topics that you’ve learned. Tomorrow will be the preliminary test. I don’t want anyone in our class to hold us back. This concerns our future study plans, so you have to take it seriously. Alright, go ahead with your revision.”
As the teacher was speaking, Lu Qing walked into the classroom at a leisurely pace. He knocked on the door and reported his presence. Then, he leaned against the door and waited for the teacher’s permission.
He had no other choice. Lu Qing did not mean to be late.
Yesterday, Grandpa Lu still found out about how Lu Qing had used the radio for his own use. The principal went to the hospital to visit Grandpa Lu and they had a good chat. The principal then told Grandpa Lu about this matter as a joke.
At that time, both of them were chatting and laughing, and Grandpa Lu didn’t say anything. However, when Lu Qing went straight to the hospital after school and stepped into the ward, an apple headed his way.
Old Master Lu didn’t look sick at all. He still had the energy to be violent. Fortunately, Lu Qing reacted quickly and caught the apple. However, his palm was still numb from the shock.
Lu Qing complained, “Grandpa, why did you do that? Are you trying to kill me? I see that you’re still as strong as you were back then. Were you pretending to be sick?”
Old Master Lu was so angry that he glared at Lu Qing and scolded him. Lu Qing was forced to stand in a military stance as a form of punishment.
Although Lu Qing had been trained by Old Master Lu since he was young, he was still so tired that he collapsed on his bed the moment he returned home which was why he ended up waking up late for class.
