Chapter 2: 2

In the past, when the class representative was chosen, there was nothing but silence in the classroom. However, this time it was different. Tang Xu looked at the raised hands, shook his head, and smiled helplessly. That gesture was a bit like the yuppie style of the male protagonist in the Hong Kong movies of the 1980s: “There will be no bonus points for being a class representative. So in the end, collecting homework is not going to be a good effort.”

 

A boy sitting in his seat shouted, “Teacher, it’s because you’re handsome that they want to get close to you.”

 

Upon hearing this, they burst into laughter, and a few of them rolled their eyes.

 

Most of the students who raise their hands are girls. This kind of engineering major with more wolves and less meat has cultivated boy’s unique feelings of protecting the flowers. For example, if there is any activity, the girls are first to ask for opinions, and if there is something good to do, they would squeeze the girls in their class first. After all, girls who can choose this kind of major could be said to be little angels sent by heaven to save their monk careers.

 

As a result, several boys who had raised their hands also put their hands down, except for Tang Cuo.

 

Tang Xu raised the corner of his eyes and looked around for a long time. “There are five students. You all say, How do you want to choose?”

 

Someone said loudly, “Compete for the position!”

 

Although it is a joke, it makes sense. Tang Xu nodded, “I think it’s okay, then you guys can discuss about it.”

 

The students who raised their hands spontaneously started to speak from the person sitting in the front. The girls were honest and interesting. Even if they said a few grandiose words at the beginning that I love learning, and I love automation control. At the end, they added with a smile, “But the main reason is that the teacher is handsome!”

 

When it was Tang’s Cuo turn to speak, he stood up; his whole back was stiff. He was silent for a long time before he said, “I just want to be a class representative.”

 

Tang Xu stood in front, looking at Tang Cuo calmly, who finally looked at him.

 

Tang Xu tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a while before saying, “Our school is quite big, and my office is also quite far. Since there is a boy, let’s choose him.”

 

 

Strangely, Tang Cuo’s back didn’t relax because of Tang Xu’s words; instead, it tensed even more.

 

 

“Teacher, you are Yan Kong1. You have chosen the beautiful one!”

 

 

Tang Xu was dumbfounded for a moment. Is Tang Cuo beautiful? He glanced at the person who was still standing, and he was indeed beautiful. Eight years ago, when he saw Tang Cuo for the first time in that shabby hut that was leaking from everywhere, there was a sense of astonishment in his eyes. Although his face was covered with mud stains, and he was as thin as a dry twig, his eyes couldn’t be covered by the dirt. Not only can it not cover it, but in the dirty skin and run-down environment, it seems even more ignorant and painful.

 

However, he chose him as the class representative at this time just because Tang Cuo said that he wanted to be. He had to admit that he had cared about him for many years, and he also wanted to know how the child had been doing all these years.

 

Tang Cuo’s head was buzzing throughout the whole class. He was quite uneasy as his shoulders and arms were numb. Tang Xu’s voice was right next to his ears, but he didn’t dare to listen. At the end of the class, Tang Xu said, “Tang Cuo, stay.”

 

Tang Cuo packed his schoolbag on his seat, his classmates had all already left. He noticed Tang Xu turned off the multimedia, packed up the textbooks and lesson plans, and then walked to his side.

 

 

“Let’s go out to dinner.” Tang Xu’s words were casual and familiar, as if the two of them had been friends for many years.

 

 

Tang Cuo stood up, nodded obediently, and followed him out of the classroom.

 

 

After Tang Xu asked Tang Cuo’s opinion, they went to the teacher’s cafeteria. He pulled a chair for Tang Cuo to sit on, and he went to the counter to get dinner. After placing the bowl in front of Tang Cuo, he stuffed the chopsticks into his hands and poured some vinegar into his noodles. Tang Xu was able to take a closer look at the young man in front of him while doing so.

Tang Cuo was a little cautious, but he wasn’t flustered. He politely thanked him.
 

Tang Xu smiled, looked at Tang Cuo, who was burying his head to eat noodles, and said, “You’ve grown up and learned how to be polite.”

 

Tang Cuo raised his head and smiled at him, but said nothing.

 

In fact, Tang Cuo has changed a lot. He didn’t behave so politely in the past. From this point of view, he is doing well. Tang Xu was somewhat relieved; after all, he was the child he brought up, and he always wished him well.

 

Tang Cuo started to eat noodles, and he didn’t say a word throughout the entire time; he didn’t even make the sound of eating noodles. Tang Xu didn’t realize this detail until he took a few bites of noodles. After realizing it, he began to be a little stunned.

 

Suddenly, Tang Cuo looked up at him and said, “It’s too much. I can’t finish it; It will be wasted.”

 

There was still half a bowl of noodles left, and Tang Xu wondered, “You don’t want to eat it?”

 

Tang Cuo nodded.

 

Tang Xu felt quite unbelievable. In the past, Tang Cuo was like a little pig, protecting the food every time he ate. No matter how many things were placed in front of him, he could gobble them up until there was nothing left, as if his appetite was so big that he didn’t even know what it meant to be overstuffed. At first, Tang Xu thought that he just had a big appetite, but after Tang Cuo had a stomach ache from eating too much twice, he realized that the child was not a big eater but hungry. From then on, he had to personally control Tang Cuo’s appetite.

 

 

Tang Xu brought Tang Cuo’s noodles over, pulled most of them into his bowl, and handed the remaining two bites back to him, saying, “No wonder you aren’t growing. A half-grown child will eat so much that his father will starve2. That little you ate for lunch isn’t enough, have two more bites.”

 

Tang Cuo hesitated while holding the chopsticks, and then reached them into the bowl.

 

Tang Xu picked out a big mouthful of noodles, and when he was about to stuff them into his mouth, he remembered something, stopped there, and asked, “Why did you change your name back?”

 

The chopsticks that were holding the noodles paused, but Tang Cuo used the chopsticks to stir the bowl again, as if playing with them.

 

After a while, he sullenly said, “I thought you didn’t want me anymore?”

 

Hearing this, Tang Xu was stunned.

 

The two people at the table were silent. After Tang Cuo finished the noodles in the bowl again, Tang Xu’s voice rang after the sound of chopsticks colliding with the rim of the bowl.

“Are you blaming me?”

 

Tang Cuo’s fingertips tightened suddenly, and his eye sockets suddenly became sore, but he had good self-control and immediately suppressed the soreness, and when he raised his head again, his face was calm.

 

Tang Cuo said, “No. I know that you did it for my own good.”

 

Tang Xu looked at him motionlessly, as if he intended to look into Tang Cuo’s eyes to discern the truth of his words. This time, Tang Cuo didn’t avoid him and smiled slightly at him.

 

Tang Cuo isn’t afraid of him seeing it because these are his sincere words, and he has been convincing himself for so many years. It’s just that he doesn’t deserve that name.

 

He was a ridiculous mistake, both before meeting Tang Xu and even more after meeting Tang Xu.
