235 235 Song Ling’s Challenge
On the other hand, Song Lin was still expressing his loyalty to his goddess, Tan Jing. He also said a lot of things about how he thought of her when he was abroad and also bragged about some of his achievements abroad.
The girls around them were so excited that they kept praising Song Lin. Tan Jing had a fake smile on her face, clapping for him from time to time, saying that he was great.
Wei Ling wanted to vomit. Why didn’t she feel that these people, especially Tan Jing, were disgusting before? She must have been blind to think that Tan Jing was a good person who treated her sincerely.
While listening to their bragging, Wei Ling glanced at Tan Rou, and Tan Rou looked at her as well. After a brief exchange of looks, Tan Rou continued to write her notes while Wei Ling decided to make Tan Jing unhappy.
Thinking of this, Wei Ling felt much better and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Wei Ling, what are you laughing at?” Zhao Tu asked her.
Wei Ling cleared her throat. “I’m just happy for Song Lin. He’s really amazing and has won so many awards. I think you and Jingjing are really alike. Jingjing is also an outstanding young lady. It would be great if you two could be together after graduation!”
Tan Jing’s expression changed immediately. When she saw Song Lin looking in her direction, she smiled again and said shyly, “Wei Ling, don’t talk nonsense. We’re just classmates.”
Wei Ling continued to fan the flames. “Huh? Classmates? I was already thinking whether I could attend your wedding in the future. I even wanted to be your bridesmaid.”
Tan Jing could not hold her face any longer. She directly said to Song Lin, “Song Lin, we’re still young. Besides, I just want to focus on my studies.”
Although Song Lin was very disappointed by her words, what she said made a lot of sense. They were still students and shouldn’t be thinking about these love affairs. Previously, she and Lu Qing had been rumored to be in an ambiguous relationship for so long, but they still hadn’t settled down, right?
“I know, I’ll wait for you.” Song Lin was willing to wait for her.
The bell rang and Song Lin returned to his seat unwillingly. He had been away for half a year, and the seats in the classroom had been changed countless times. So, his current seat was a little far away from Tan Jing. The teacher said that he would change his seat after the exam.
“Wei Ling, why did you mention that earlier?!” Tan Jing said with an unhappy look on her face after she returned to her seat.
Wei Ling pretended to be afraid and said,” I just want to help you catch Song Lin’s heart. Otherwise, we’ll be easily bullied by them. Song Lin treats you much better than Lu Qing. I think he’s more suitable for you.”
Tan Jing thought for a moment and felt that what she said made sense. However, Song Lin was really not the kind of person she liked. However, she could not say it out loud. “Don’t say that anymore in the future. I don’t want to think about anything else now. I just want to study hard.”
Wei Linglong scoffed in her heart, ‘I’d be a fool to believe you.’
“Okay, I got it. Jingjing, can you lend me some money? ” Wei Ling asked. “I’m a little tight on money recently. My family doesn’t give me money anymore.”
Tan Jing was even happier. At first, she was worried that Wei Ling had bad intentions, but after Wei Ling had borrowed money from her a few times, she was relieved. No one would cause problems with the girl who had money.
“I know, I’ll transfer it to you in a moment.”
Wei Ling smiled. “Thank you, Jingjing.”
After Song Lin sat in his seat, he kept looking at Tan Jing. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. How could there be such a gentle girl? Plus, her results were excellent. However, it was all Tan Rou’s fault that she didn’t do well this time. It was because Tan Rou did well in her exams that Jingjing didn’t.
“Tan Rou!” The more Song Lin thought about it, the more excited he became. He slammed the table and stood up from his seat.
“I want to challenge you!”
Their Chinese teacher was a very experienced old man. When he saw Song Lin stand up and challenge Tan Rou, he reprimanded, “Student, please sit down quietly. This is a classroom. If you have anything to say, we can talk after class. Besides, the school doesn’t allow fighting, especially since you’re a male student. How can you bully a female student?”
“Teacher, I’m here to challenge her for first place in the next exams.” He called for Tan Rou to stand up.
“Tan Rou, I will definitely surpass you in the next exam!”
Tan Rou accepted his challenge. “Sure, let’s wait and see.”
Seeing that it was only for an exam, the Chinese teacher didn’t say anything. He lectured Song Lin for a minute and told him not to challenge Tan Rou in class. Then, the class continued.
“He’s so shameless.” Li Li and Tan Rou whispered to each other, “I might believe it if Lu Qing was the one who said it but he’s only in the top ten. What is he dreaming about?”
“I won’t fight you for first place.” Lu Qing spoke out of the blue. He had never cared about fame, it was just that he was naturally smart.
Tan Rou glanced at him and didn’t say anything. There’s no need to give way. She’ll leave everyone far behind in the next exam.
