Since the day Ruan Mengmeng sort of half-openly and half-complained and made things clear with He Yiyang, He Yiyang’s mouth was not as poisonous as before. He did not move to zap her with “stupid” and “low IQ”. Occasionally, when Ruan Mengmeng solved a big problem, he even generously praised her.
Ruan Mengmeng felt she had a problem. She wasn’t used to He Yiyang’s compliments!
Look to the sky orz.jpg.

She said she didn’t mind, and that we got along the old way was better.

As for her choice between arts and science and art students, He Yiyang was not as tough as before, and he was deliberate.

Only it wasn’t with Ruan Mengmeng.
After Ruan Hai opened the nineteenth Furong chain of lifestyle supermarkets in one of the most isolated towns in C, all the administrative area points in C were set in place. His heart could not be more beautiful, and his sense of achievement could not be stronger.
So they celebrated in a more down-to-earth way, by eating and drinking!
With a wave of his hand, like a big fan, he went to the county town, picked up the old man, He Zhenhua, and went to a seafood hotel for a meal.
The three men exchanged glasses of wine. Ruan Mengmeng was surprised to see that she was holding a glass of yoghurt, and He Yiyang was having one glass after another. His face was still fair.
His face didn’t change. Brother is amazing.

Grandpa He didn’t care. He even took the initiative to pour the wine. Ruan Mengmeng couldn’t stand it and grabbed He Yiyang’s glass. “Dad, Grandpa He, that’s enough. This glass is one or two, and brother has already drunk almost three glasses. He can’t drink any more! It’s gone.”
Grandpa He put down his chopsticks and laughed and teased, “Yo yo yo yo!”
Ruan Hai was stunned with the bottle in his hand. His red face and his round bean eyes looked sadly at Ruan Mengmeng, shaking his head and sighing, “Alas …… alas ……”
Ruan Mengmeng was a bit embarrassed. What happened to her father suddenly? It was as if he dropped 10 million dollars.
Seeing He Yiyang’s bright eyes, she felt even more embarrassed.
Ruan Mengmeng: “What, what’s wrong? Drinking hurts your liver, so don’t drink too much!”

Grandpa He patted Ruan Dahai’s shoulder, “My nephew, sooner or later, this day will come. Look on the bright side, at least we are our own family. We grew up together and we know our roots, don’t we?”
Ruan Dahai held his forehead and continued to sigh loudly, “Alas ……”
It was just a drink. What was wrong with them? It was really inexplicable. Ruan Mengmeng scratched her face uncomfortably, drinking a mouthful of yogurt to suppress her embarrassed urge to burrow into the ground.
He Yiyang served the king crab meat on a porcelain plate and pushed it to Ruan Mengmeng, “You eat, don’t mind those men’s business.”
Pah! Ruan Hai slapped the table and Ruan Mengmeng almost choked, only to see her dad tilting his head and sighing, “Ahhh-yo!!!”
What was this opera? What was this?

“Nephew, drink!” Grandpa He laughed so hard that he shook his shoulders and filled Ruan Hai’s cup with wine.
This wasn’t comforting at all, it was more like getting a bargain. Weird grown-ups!
The next morning, as Ruan Mengmeng prepared to leave for class, her dad came out with narrowed eyes, wearing the oversized panda fleece jacket she had bought for him.
“Mengmeng ah, your brother and I talked. He has a more comprehensive idea. If you want to learn to paint or want to go down the path of art exams, I will find you a teacher. If you want to marry him ……” Ruan Hai yawned widely, his voice slurred. “That’s still early!”
Ruan Mengmeng carried her school bag, “Dad, what did you say last?”
“It’s about the grass on the edge of the nest, He Yiyang,” Ruan Dahai looked at his daughter’s confused eyes and reacted, “You’re not enlightened yet?”
“What?” Ruan Mengmeng was holding a piece of toast in her mouth, “Oh, it’s late, I’m going out!”
The door clicked and locked automatically. Ruan Dahai laughed, turning around with lighter steps than last night. So his daughter didn’t fall for that brat next door!
The lift went downstairs, and He Yiyang was leaning against a tree with a dictionary.
“Good morning, brother!” Ruan Mengmeng ran over and handed over a sandwich, “Here, just made it.”
He Yiyang bowed his head and took a bite, his eyes glued to the dictionary, “I’ll finish this page.”
“Oh.” Ruan Mengmeng understood, and when He Yiyang had almost eaten, she tiptoed around to feed another bite.
Glancing at the dictionary cover, oh my, a German-Chinese dictionary?!
“Brother, you’re still learning German?”
He Yiyang quickly skimmed through a few pages to deepen his impression before closing it and pulling a handful of Ruan Mengmeng’s balls of hair that she had combed this morning.
“The key parts of the company’s main business products are imported with a company in Germany. They are the only company in the world that can produce them,” He Yiyang ate the last bite of his sandwich and said lightly, “Do you think I could not master German?”
“Ah… I don’t think so,” Ruan Mengmeng pouted, “There’s no domestic alternative? Can’t we produce our own?”
“Not for now, but there will be later. After all, it’s a nasty feeling to have a stranglehold on your throat.” He Yiyang said calmly, with a confident look, as if it could be solved in the near future.
Ruan Mengmeng tilted her head and looked up, nodding her head repeatedly, “Nnnn, brother will definitely be fine.”
He Yiyang pinched her face and said no more, but instead brought up the matter of painting, “Did Uncle Dahai talk to you about the studio and the teacher? Does he have connections, or are we looking for them ourselves?”
“Speaking of which, brother, I’m asking you. When did you speak to my dad about this? I haven’t even thought about it yet,” Ruan Mengmeng said, “Isn’t there still half a term left? I can study literature too.”
He Yiyang glanced at her and said with a grin, “Don’t be so stubborn. Do you think it’s easy for art students? You have to train for three months in advance, and then you have to take the school exams in advance before finally taking the college entrance exams. The score line is much lower, but the pressure can be double that of ordinary students.”
Looking at her surprised little face, He Yiyang knew she didn’t understand anything. He was angry enough to try to make a move.
As soon as he raised his hand, Ruan Mengmeng held her head with both hands, “Stop pulling. If you do it again, it’ll be a mess!”
“Hmph!” He Yiyang put his hands in his trouser pockets, “But a former tablemate can you compare to me thinking for you and treating you well?”
The street was full of people, otherwise he would have had to rub her.
“No, brother is the best!” Ruan Mengmeng hurriedly flattered, on second thought, said, “If I learn to paint on weekends, that remedial classes …… don’t have that much time.”
“What is there to make-up? English all depends on words, phrases, sentences and grammar. If you memorise it, 100% of the college entrance examination wouldn’t be a problem.” He Yiyang directly made the decision for her. “Mathematics isn’t necessary for you to go to. Isn’t there still me? Can a tutor be better than me?”
He lowered his head, his face still expressionless, but Ruan Mengmeng shook her head in a very good manner, laughing and hugging him.
“How can they be better? The last time a classmate asked a question, the teacher couldn’t solve it! I’m afraid of delaying brother.”
“As long as you don’t fish, and listen carefully, you won’t.”
“Er …… so annoying,” Ruan Mengmeng pouted. After two days of gentleness, He Yiyang started to be poisonous again, “Then I’ll talk to Zhengyuan.”
He Yiyang suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes looking askance at Ruan Mengmeng with displeasure.
“Do you have your own opinions, Ruan Mengmeng! Who is he to you? What’s the point of talking to him!”
“I ……” Ruan Mengmeng was shocked, why did he suddenly explode.
He Yiyang put his hands in his pockets and continued to look askance at her.
“Well, I should at least tell him. He enrolled in the class with me.” Ruan Mengmeng said.
He turned around and left. His long legs leapt into the school like he had stepped on a wheel of wind and fire, leaving Ruan Mengmeng standing in a daze.
Other students who were in a hurry to get to class passed by, and Ruan Mengmeng had no choice but to lift her feet and run along with them.
She now knew for sure that Lu Zhengyuan and her brother were incompatible and would never mention it to his face again.
In geography class, the teacher daintily drew a map of China on the blackboard. The precise coastline was exactly the same as in the atlas, and even the complex inner bay of Chicken Neck was no different.
Ruan Mengmeng nodded with the pen in her hand and took out a blank sheet of paper to start drawing as well.
Chen Linjia sat next to her, propping her chin up and listening to her. Within a few minutes, her eyes went straight, obviously lost in thought.
When Ruan Mengmeng finished her drawing, she felt that it wasn’t too bad, so she got excited and took out a map of the world and started to draw it.
When the bell rang, she dropped the last stroke.
“Ouch, not bad, oh, have you practiced?” Chen Linjia came over and asked.
Ruan Mengmeng shook her head and laughed, “No, it’s really good, huh?”
Chen Linjia nodded, “I remember you liked painting in junior high school. You gave me a Chinese painting, a picture of a rich peony.”
“Yeah, you were so disgusted at the time.” Ruan Mengmeng took out her mobile phone and took a picture of the world map and sent it to “Lord He Zhouguan” by WeChat.
[I just drew it, I’m the best.jpg]
She didn’t know if He Yiyang was looking up information on his phone, but he replied in seconds.
[What’s the lesson about? spanking.jpg]
Er …… Ruan Mengmeng looked at the motion picture of the little boy pressing the little girl against his thigh and slapping her again and again, her face a little hot.
The class teacher, Mr. Chen, walked in with a smile on his face and the classroom wailed.
“It’s over, it’s over. P.E. class has gone down the drain again.”
“Old class, the last PE lesson of the month, ah, please do me a favour!”
“Don’t worry, we’re not robbing the class today,” Mr. Chen stood in the doorway, not going up to the podium, “I just came to talk to you guys to practice the long-distance running for both boys and girls, and try to pass all of them. Also, Science Experiment 371 class with us.”
Chen Linjia’s eyes lit up when she heard this, “Meng Meng, Lu Zhengyuan and their class!”
Huh?” Ruan Mengmeng’s eyes were still fixed on her phone, “En, yes.”
Expecting a compliment from He Yiyang, she waited for a moment, but there was none.
“You two were the only ones in the class who failed the long-distance run,” Chen Linjia stood up and pulled her hair up, “Now he’s in such good shape and on the school basketball team, he can run 5,000 metres without a problem, but it’s you who’s having a hard time.”
Ruan Mengmeng remembered that their PE exams this semester were the eight hundred metres and the shot put.
She took Chen Linjia’s hand and walked out of the classroom with her classmates, defiantly saying, “I went running in the park over the summer, so I’ll have no problem passing this time.”
“Really?”
Chen Linjia was obviously not convinced, and her small hand clucked Ruan Mengmeng’s armpit, laughing, “You meat bun. You’re not a sweet dumpling until you’ve rolled around for five minutes!”
Ruan Mengmeng was afraid of tickling and dodged away with a big smile. There were quite a lot of people going up and down the stairwell, so she accidentally bumped into one.
“Sorry.” She hurriedly apologised.
Li Manle turned around and scolded angrily, “Are you blind!”
Although Ruan Mengmeng was smiling, her hands were all shrunken. Even when she touched Li Manle, it was just a gentle rubbing of her clothes against her clothes.
When Chen Linjia saw her friend being scolded, her temper flared up. She raised her hand and pushed Li Manle, “Your mouth stinks!”
Li Manle and Chen Linjia had been at loggerheads since junior high school. They had lost the military training standard at the beginning of their senior year, and they hadn’t even won the title of class flower.
But Ruan Mengmeng looked at Li Manle’s resentful look just now, and couldn’t understand when she was being targeted again.
“My mouth doesn’t stink, but you’re a real slut! Hahahaha,” Lai Man Le laughed arrogantly and deliberately, “Who doesn’t know about First Form Chen Linjia and her stepmother being adopted by the old man of the Gu family, tsk tsk. Mother and daughter working together as one husband.”
Chen Linjia was so angry that she clenched her fist with both hands. But before she could get angry, Ruan Mengmeng rushed up and slapped her across the face.
Li Man Le’s face tilted and she stared at Ruan Mengmeng incredulously, “Ah! Bitch!”
