Liang Lu leaned against the staircase and thought for a while. She took her school uniform off the handrail and led her friends out of the school. “Let’s go to the internet cafe to play games.”
On the way, they met Tan Rou, whom they hadn’t seen for a while. Tan Rou was holding two physics competition exercise books in her hands. They looked new.
Liang Lu took the initiative to greet her. “I heard that there’s going to be a physics competition selection test soon. Are you going to participate in it?”
Tan Rou smiled and looked at her. “If I wasn’t planning on it, am I going to use it as a cushion?”
Liang Lu’s face was a little embarrassed. “How did you know that I used a book as a cushion?”
Tan Rou smiled and said, “I was just saying it casually. Besides, it’s normal to use a book as a cushion for the table. When the table is uneven, I will use a book to cushion it.”
“Are all good students as strange as you?” Liang Lu couldn’t help but ask.
“Those who work hard are all good students.” Tan Rou gave a casual reply.
Liang Lu pursed her lips. “I’m not a good student. I smoke, drink, fight, and I’m a famous big shot on the school’s demerit list.”
“What does it have to do with me?” Tan Rou retorted. “That’s your own choice. If you want to study hard, then study hard. If you want to smoke, drink, and fight, then go ahead.”
“What do you think is the difference between a good student and a bad student?” Liang Lu suddenly asked.
“I don’t think there’s a difference between a good student and a bad student. There’s only a difference between those who want and do not want to learn.”
“Let’s be friends, Tan Rou.” Liang Lu stretched out her hand. “I like the way you talk.”
“Sure, but I want to see you make some progress.” Tan Rou said, “You’ve already experienced smoking, drinking, and fighting. Why don’t you try something else?”
Liang Lu snorted. “What else can I do? I’ll always be on the demerit list.”
“I was there once.” Tan Rou said, “Now I’ve come to my senses and studied hard. Fighting is temporary but a beautiful future is forever.”
“It’s a little ridiculous.” Liang Lu didn’t think that someone like her could achieve any good results.
“Aren’t I the best example?” Tan Rou took out a test paper from the exercise book. “Liang Lu, if you can pass this set of test papers with your own ability, we’ll be good friends.”
Liang Lu held the test paper as if it was poisonous. “I… I didn’t even score 20 points on this test paper.”
“I only scored five points in this paper the last time.” Tan Rou was referring to her previous results. “Haven’t I improved?”
“I have high hopes for you.” Tan Rou smiled. “Good luck!”
Liang Lu’s heart thumped. She agreed, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Tan Rou had never thought that Liang Lu was a bad girl. She was just a little willful. She hoped that Liang Lu would stop wasting time and earn a bright future for herself.
“Sister, Sister Lu …” One of her lackeys looked at the test paper. “She just wants to insult you. How can we finish this paper?!”
“If she can do it, why can’t I?” Liang Lu folded the test papers, then put on her school uniform and walked back.
The delinquents followed her. “Sister Lu, are you really going to head back to study?!”
“What else?” Liang Lu stuffed the test paper into the pocket of her school uniform. “I, Liang Lu, have always been a woman of my word. Since I promised her that I will pass this paper, I will.”
“Sister Lu, this is the physics competition paper.” The lackey reminded Liang Lu.
Liang Lu glared at her. “Are you calling me stupid?”
“No, no. It’s something that’s difficult for even most people to do on this test.” the delinquent hurriedly explained. “She’s just making things difficult for you.”
Liang Lu didn’t believe her. “I’m going to finish this test paper and show it to her. Don’t look for me when you go out in the future. I have to start studying hard.”
The lackeys looked at each other and felt as if they had seen a ghost. Sister Lu actually wanted to learn. She might really have been possessed by a ghost.
“Are you really going back to study?” One of the lackeys asked.
The other said, “Let’s go, let’s go. We’re following Sister Lu. If Sister Lu doesn’t go, there’s no point for us to go.”
“Then shall we head back and get out books?”
“Let’s try then. Maybe our ancestors will help us and we might get enrolled into a university.”
“Well, then I must have been haunted.”
