193 193 The Prodigy’s Notes
Tan Rou smiled and waved at the crowd. She couldn’t stand the eager gazes of these people, so she didn’t look at the red ranking and turned to walk back to the classroom.
Everyone looked at Tan Rou’s back and couldn’t help but sigh. Look, this was a prodigy. She was not affected by flattery or humiliation. She wasn’t excited at all. If it were them, they would probably take a hundred pictures with the billboard first, then take it off and run home to set off firecrackers.
Just look at Tan Rou! How calm she is! No wonder she could get such inhuman results!
Tan Rou walked into the classroom, took out a book, and placed it on the table as usual. She flipped through it in boredom.
Xu Yan came over and smiled gently. “Congratulations, Tan Rou. I saw you early in the morning when I came to school. I didn’t expect you to be so good at hiding your true colors!”
Tan Rou smiled in embarrassment. “No, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. There’s nothing much to say.”
Xu Yan was really happy for Tan Rou and did not think that Tan Rou was deliberately hiding it. After all, Tan Jing and the others had been eyeing her covetously before, so it was good that Tan Rou remained low profile.
Xu Yan still laughed along,”I’m feeling a little guilty being the class monitor. I’ll have to rely on you to help me with my studies in the future.”
Tan Rou blinked playfully. “Sure! I’ll tell you everything I know, but you still have to be the class monitor. I have a bad temper, and it’s easy for me to take revenge on others for private matters!”
Xu Yan laughed. “You!” His eyes were full of admiration.
Li Li shouted from afar, “Tan Rou! Heavens! I’m not dreaming, am I?”
Tan Rou and Xu Yan looked at the door. Li Li was running into the room looking surprised.
Li Li held Tan Rou’s shoulder and looked at her from head to toe in disbelief. “Xiao Rou, you’re really good at acting! How did you suddenly…. What’s in your head? Are you an alien?”
Tan Rou looked helpless. “Stop shaking me! I’m a real human!”
Li Li let go of her hand. “Yes, yes! I can’t shake you like this! You’re the school’s genius now! What if I dazzled you silly and you lost your knowledge?”
Xu Yan laughed too. “If you can lose your brains by doing so, your results are only such because you’re always jumping around. They’ve ran away from home!”
Tan Rou covered her mouth and laughed.
Li Li rolled her eyes at Xu Yan. “Well, now you’re making fun of me together, one top student and the other top student. Hey! This isn’t fair. We’re all humans! Why can’t I use my brain like you guys?!”
Tan Rou patted Li Li to comfort her. “But, you’re lively and cheerful. You’re our happy fruit! It would be perfect if you were a little better at your studies. Besides, your grades aren’t that bad. I can secretly tutor you. It’ll definitely work!”
Li Li was satisfied. “Fine! I am the happy fruit of the group anyways! Although my grades aren’t that good, my friends are geniusesI can brag for a lifetime, okay! In the future, I’ll be walking with my head up in school! Tan Rou, you’re amazing!”
Li Li felt honored, as happy as if she herself was named the top student of the school.
Tan Rou smiled and looked at Li Li’s excited expression as she talked non-stop. Tan Rou also sincerely felt happy.
No matter what had happened, having a friend like Li Li would always be able to lighten the mood in the room. Even if it was a very normal thing for Tan Rou, Li Li’s excitement has caused Tan Rou to feel happy as well.
Xu Yan couldn’t stand Li Li’s noise and said helplessly, “Young miss, you should rest for a while and go study. As Tan Rou’s friend, how can you not make progress?”
Li Li pouted. “I know, class monitor. I’ll try my best to catch up with you two! Well with you two beside me, would it be possible for me to not improve?!”
Tan Rou took out a notebook from her bag and handed it to Li Li. “Here, I wrote it down from memory when I was free. It’s not anything special, but it should be enough for you.”
Li Li squatted down and took it with both hands. “Oh my God! Is this the notes of the prodigy? If this isn’t considered something good, I don’t know what is! No, I have to hide it. I’m afraid that those people will be so jealous that they will come to my house in the middle of the night to steal it!”
Tan Rou laughed. “Stop joking. Just keep it! If someone else steals it, I’ll write you a better one!”
Li Li chuckled. “Tan Rou, you’re so kind. You said that your books were stolen and you didn’t want me arguing with them. I knew you would have a way. It turns out that you have the strongest brain and don’t care about those books at all!”
Tan Rou nodded. “Yeah, I could’ve done well without that book. It’s just that they put in so much effort, so I cooperated. That’s why I was able to catch so many ‘big fishes’ during the exam.”
