Chapter 18: 18

She didn’t know if it was because the overall grades of the last senior year were not so good, the school recalled Cheng Nian’s class ahead of schedule.

The day before school started, Cheng Nian put a 1000 yuan* in an envelope and handed it to Li Shubai.

[£120 / $148 / €137]

“You take the money.”

Li Shubai didn’t raise his head, “What are you doing?”

Cheng Nian smiled, “The supplements I bought for Auntie are really not expensive, so I can’t take advantage of you either.”

Li Shubai put the envelope aside without counting, and said coldly.

“Not enough.”

Cheng Nian didn’t expect Li Shubai to say that, she took out her wallet from her pocket and asked in embarrassment.

“How much more is that?”

Li Shubai stretched out his hand, “5000.”

Cheng Nian was taken aback, and blurted out, “Ah, it’s so expensive.”

Although it wasn’t too much, it was enough for her to find a tutor.

Li Shubai glanced at her, and said in a cold voice, “Include the tuition fees for the third year of high school.”

Cheng Nian touched her earlobe, and smiled sarcastically, “You don’t need to make up lessons in the third year of high school, the teacher will teach it from the beginning.”

“Don’t understand what to do, don’t you want to give up halfway?”

“No.”

Li Shubai forced to ask: “Then why?”

Cheng Nian turned her eyes slightly, and hurriedly made up a reason, “It’s all because of my dad! He always scolds me when he sees me running around all day. So I’m really sorry, but I’ll pay half of the money, as a thank you.”

Li Shubai half-closed his eyes, and looked at Cheng Nian with a probing look.

Cheng Nian touched the back of her neck unconsciously, and dodged, “If you don’t want it, just pretend I didn’t say it.”

Li Shubai closed the book, his face was as ugly as possible, he said in a hoarse voice.

“It’s okay, I can go to your house.”

Cheng Nian leaned back, her eyes widened, and her voice suddenly rose a few degrees.

“I don’t think it’s necessary.”

Li Shubai looked at Cheng Nian with a contemptuous look, and said softly, “Do you still like me?”

Cheng Nian pursed her lips, her small face puffed up angrily, and said firmly, “I don’t.”

Li Shubai raised his eyes, “Then what are you afraid of? Or you simply don’t want to give me this opportunity to make money.”

Cheng Nian said helplessly, “I told you I’ll give you the money.”

Li Shubai sneered, and said sarcastically, “Is it because you pity me?”

Cheng Nian felt that Li Shubai in front of her was terrifying, and he almost overlapped with the person in her memory.

She bit the tip of her tongue, lowered her head hastily, and said, “Whatever you think.”

After finishing speaking, Cheng Nian packed up her things in a panic, put on her schoolbag and left.

She didn’t want to use fleeing to describe her appearance at that time, but that’s what she meant.

Li Shubai took a few deep breaths, and his trembling heart gradually calmed down.

He didn’t know what was wrong with him, he became irritable when he heard Cheng Nian said that she would not make up lessons, and said those harsh words without thinking about it.

Thinking of the recent strange change in mentality and the pressure it might bring to Li Ying, Li Shubai stared out the window for a while, his mood was more chaotic than the entangled earphone cables.

School starts the next day.

The students complained one by one, but they all finished the report before the afternoon.

He Yunfei didn’t have to go to school, so he came here to help Cheng Nian carry her luggage.

Cheng Nian was very reluctant to leave, and told him to tell her when he joined the army.

He Yunfei responded with his mouth, but he already had his own plan in his heart.

In the new classroom, Cheng Nian habitually sat in her original position.

Sitting with her in the back row was Pangpang.

Pangpang didn’t know that He Yunfei was going to be a soldier, and was waiting for him to jump out and talk to him like a monkey.

As the monitor of the class, Li Shubai has not stopped since he entered the class. He was called to pick up the new book as soon as he finished the holiday homework.

Cheng Nian didn’t pay too much attention to him, just treated him like the other students.

While lying on the table reading a book in boredom, Cheng Nian heard the two female classmates in front whispering.

“Hey, the student transferred from school C is assigned to our class.”

“How do you know?”

“I came to clean yesterday, and I heard what the dean and Li Meng said.”

“How can people in school C transfer to our school?”

“Money, ability.”

“Boy or girl, do they look good?”

“It seems to be a boy. Shen Jie said that they have arranged a new person in their dormitory. It is probably him.”

Cheng Nian turned the pages of the book wearily, but didn’t continue listening.

She still had the impression that this person was indeed a boy.

In her memory, he had good grades, and he sat in the corner of the last row all the year round, basically not talking to others. Not long after he transferred, he became famous because he fought people 5 to 1 at school, and even fewer people were close to him.

Even He Yunfei, who can talk to almost anyone, couldn’t talk to him more than five sentences.

At that time, Cheng Nian was so focused on pursuing Li Shubai that she hardly paid attention to anyone, and now she couldn’t even remember his name.

Thinking that Li Meng would introduce himself at the class meeting, Cheng Nian didn’t waste her brain cells thinking about these boring things.

Sure enough, before the class meeting started, Li Meng led a tall and thin boy into the classroom.

After saying a few inspiring words about the start of school, Li Meng introduced.

“Today we have a new classmate, everyone welcome him.”

The tide of applause came to an end, and the boy in normal clothes stepped behind the podium.

He picked up the chalk and wrote his name on the blackboard.

“Xie Junyu”

Then he walked off the podium, glanced at the last row, and sat next to Cheng Nian.

Cheng Nian didn’t expect that he would sit down next to her, and suddenly became a little nervous. She didn’t dare to look at him carefully, and subconsciously moved aside.

Li Meng smiled awkwardly and clasped her hands together, “Then Xie Junyu will be one of us from today onwards, everyone should get along with each other and make progress together. As for the seats, let’s do this first, and we will arrange according to the results after the exam is over.”

The model in Li Meng’s mouth refers to the first mock exam a month later.

Perhaps different from other schools, the learning process in A is to finish all the courses before the second year of high school, and then review it systematically in the third year of high school. Therefore, there are a lot of mock exams in order to allow students to check for gaps in time.

Thinking that she would be at the same table with this new classmate for more than a month, Cheng Nian began to pray secretly in her heart that she would be safe.

After explaining everything, Pangpang raised his hand.

“Teacher, why didn’t He Yunfei come to report?”

Li Meng said with some pride as if just remembering it: “Student He has devoted himself to the construction of the motherland and is already a recruit waiting to join the army. We must follow him, study hard, and serve the motherland in the future.”

The enthusiasm of the students was ignited at once, and they applauded spontaneously.

Amidst the thunderous clapping of hands, Cheng Nian saw that Pangpang raised his hand sadly, then put it down after two seconds of being stunned.

Cheng Nian felt sad for him, but she felt very happy in her heart.

The happy thing is that He Yunfei has another real good friend besides her.
