“Tian Xin, did you really declare your like for that girl Tang Zhao of Cla.s.s 2?”
Gu Cheng stops .
He looks over and finds two boys .
The one that's talking wears a pair of gla.s.ses . He's a bit short with a lot of acnes on his face .
Gu Cheng's eyes travel past him and land on that “Tian Xin” next to him .
He has heard about Tian Xin, a famous top student of their grade who used to be the first place in all the exams before Tang Zhao came here .
What makes him different is that he's not the kind of nerd people usually expect .
He's tall . He plays basketball and he has good grades . He's the perfect boyfriend in many girls' imagination .
A sharp distinction from Gu Cheng himself .
Did he tell Tang Zhao that he liked her?
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
Tian Xin seems a little embarra.s.sed: “I've talked to Tang Zhao . But she says she likes boys who has better grades than she does . I . . . ”
As he's speaking, he sighs and says more firmly: “I still have one year . I'll work harder!”
The boy with gla.s.ses cheers him up: “Come on, man! I think you have a chance . Think about it, who else has better grades than you do in our grade? You don't even have a compet.i.tor . Work hard and let her be your girl as soon as possible!”
“ . . . ”
The two boys walk by while they are talking and laughing together, not noticing Gu Cheng who's standing behind the bushes .
Gu Cheng stands there in a gloomy mood for quite some time before he heads back towards the cla.s.sroom .
Ah Zhao is teaching Song Wen how to solve a problem in yesterday's homework and suddenly notices a shadow appears in front of her .
She lifts her head with confusion and sees Gu Cheng standing there .
She instinctively turns away from him .
Gu Cheng's hair is wet, his forehead full of sweat .
He says in a hoa.r.s.e voice: “Now I want to work hard . Are you still willing to teach me?”
?
!
Ah Zhao's eyes widen . As if she's in a hallucination .
Seeing her like that, Gu Cheng's eyes move . A little smile crawls upon his face which was cold a second ago .
“You heard me and I'll repeat it one more time . Tang Zhao, I want to study . Are you still willing to help me?”
Ah Zhao is quiet for some time before she asks with the greatest of care: “Are you, serious? You are not making fun of me, are you?”
Gu Cheng lowers his eyes and looks at her . Her carefulness makes his heart itch .
He nods .
“Are you going to do your homework?”
“Yes . ”
“Taking the exams seriously?”
“Yes . ”
“Listening to teachers during cla.s.ses?”
“Yes . ”
“You really want to work on your study?” Ah Zhao wants to make sure one last time .
Gu Cheng looks at her deeply: “Yes . ”
Ah Zhao finally has a smile on her face: “Then I'll believe you this time . ”
She reaches out her hand: “High five . ”
Gu Cheng instinctively wants to sneer at her childish behavior but when he sees her bright smile, he doesn't say anything and reaches out his hand, touching Ah Zhao's softly .
Next to them, Song Wen who has been witnessing all this quietly has a secret frown .
Gu Cheng's behavior alarms him .
That's not right .
Not right at all .
He knows Gu Cheng too well .
The way Gu Cheng looks at Ah Zhao and what he has done lead Song Wen to a horrifying direction .
When cla.s.ses are over, Song Wen drags Gu Cheng to a seldom visited corner at the end of the hallway .
“Brother Cheng, I have a question for you . Answer me honestly . ” Song Wen is very serious .
Gu Cheng tilts his head while looking at him .
Song Wen grits his teeth and spills out his doubt directly: “What do you think about Sister Tang, Tang Zhao?”
Gu Cheng: What urges me to improve is not my violent girlfriend but my rival in love!
