“Forget it.” Lin f.u.xi sat down on a chair beside her and said, “I just felt that I had been deceived, and I was disappointed. I'm sorry for losing my temper for a moment. Tan Mo is…she is young, so I should be more tolerant of her mistakes. I shouldn't fuss with her.”

Tan Mo raised her eyebrows. If she could be defeated by Lin f.u.xi's pa.s.sive aggression, she would give her the t.i.tle of green tea master that had belonged to Yuan Keqing!

Tan Mo raised her head and looked at Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi with tears in her eyes. “Sister Yuelin, Sister Yuxi, did I make a mistake? How can I remedy my mistake?”

Meng Yuxi's personality was a bit more straightforward than Jin Yueli's. She s.h.i.+elded Tan Mo and said directly, “You weren't wrong. You don't need to remedy anything.”

Lin f.u.xi had apologized, but at the same time had put all the blame on Tan Mo.

She was almost 19, yet she'd bullied a 15-year-old girl.

Meng Yuxi felt that Lin f.u.xi was the one who was always looking for trouble. She was narrow-minded and didn't want others to be better than her. She had a twisted personality.

Therefore, although Meng Yuxi didn't say anything to Lin f.u.xi, she expressed her stance clearly to Tan Mo.

Since Tan Mo wasn't in the wrong, it was Lin f.u.xi who was wrong.

Lin f.u.xi froze and looked at Meng Yuxi in disbelief.

Tan Mo didn't need to be liked or recognized by Lin f.u.xi.

Meng Yuxi's words were enough.

She didn't plan on s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g Meng Yuxi over. From Meng Yuxi's words, she now thought Meng Yuxi was quite nice.

So she nodded happily and smiled through her tears. “Sister Yuxi, you are so kind.”

She didn't continue to say that since she wasn't wrong, how about Lin f.u.xi?

If she had continued to ask, she would be s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g Meng Yuxi over.

Meng Yuxi's heart was instantly softened by Tan Mo. She reached out and patted Tan Mo's head twice.

The next day, the military training officially began.

Because it was the first day, they had to gather in the playground at 9:00 o'clock.

Fortunately, in addition to the camouflage uniforms for military training, they were also given caps to provide shade.

Even so, standing in military posture and marching under the scorching sun still made them tired, hot, and thirsty.

They had to stand for a long time in a military posture with their heads up and their chests pumped out. Their hands had to be able to hold eggs in their palms, and their middle fingers should be pressed against the seam on the side of their pants.

They had to stand in this posture without moving for a long time.

Compared with this, both walking and marching felt more comfortable.

The instructor finally let them take a break. Tan Mo hurriedly went to a shaded area under a tree and drank several mouthfuls of water.

It was now August, the hottest time of year.

Tan Mo's small face was flushed from the heat of the sun even though she had been shaded by the brim of the hat.

When she took off her hat, she discovered that her forehead was covered with sweat.

The hair near her forehead was also stuck together by sweat.

Everyone had put their bags down near the wall or under the tree.

Tan Mo found her bag, took out some tissues, dried the sweat from her forehead and neck, sprayed on some sunscreen, and took out the small electric fan she carried and turned it on her face.

At this time, the Finance Cla.s.s 2 next to them also began their rest.

“Have you heard? I heard that there is a 15-year-old girl in Finance Cla.s.s 1. She was the top scorer on the college entrance examination in City B. She was also recruited by many prestigious universities. In the end, our President Mu personally came forward and offered a lot of generous rewards before winning her over.” After taking a few sips of water, a boy named He Weicheng in Finance Cla.s.s 2 started gossiping out of boredom.

Wei Keli, resting on the sidelines, had mixed feelings hearing that.

He turned his head to look at the next cla.s.s, and heard Zheng Haoxuan say, “Finance Cla.s.s 1 seems to be right next to us. Which one is that girl?”

“I don't know which girl she is, but there is a girl among them who looks really pretty.” He Weicheng stared straight at her.

“Where? Where?” Hearing this, several boys approached.

“That one, the one using the fan.” He Weicheng pointed to Tan Mo and said, “The saying rosy lips and pretty white teeth describes her perfectly.”

“Ah? Keli, I heard that she was also from Jixia Academy. Do you know her?” Zheng Haoxuan remembered and asked.

“I know her,” Wei Keli said. “We were childhood sweethearts.”

“How about it? Do you think she looks pretty?”

Wei Keli pointed at Tan Mo and said, “There, she's the one you said is pretty.”

“Oh! That's a pity. No matter how beautiful she is, she's still only 15.” He Weicheng patted his thigh regretfully and said, “No matter what, I can't date a 15-year-old little girl.”

“Although she is too young, so we can't target her even if we want to find a girlfriend, it's still good to get to know her,” Zheng Haoxuan said to He Weicheng and Wei Keli. “She definitely can't date before becoming an adult. After all, most of us in college are adults, and few of us are her age. As an adult, who would dare to make such a mistake?”

“Why? Are you thinking about waiting for her to become an adult in three years before you go after her?” He Weicheng teased him. “It's not that I'm making fun of you, but with her looks and her IQ, although she is a minor now so no one will dare to try to make a move, once she becomes an adult, there will be so many people pursuing her that they will line up from Beijing University to Hua University. You don't believe me? At that time, you wouldn't have a chance.”

“I was just speaking casually,” Zheng Haoxuan said somewhat sheepishly. “Oh right, Keli, didn't you just say that you and she were childhood sweethearts? After all, there isn't that much of an age gap between you two, only four years.”

Unexpectedly, despite Tan Mo's young age, she was already so eye-catching that lots of guys had their sights set on her.

Wei Keli suddenly felt a sense of superiority.

After all, Tan Mo and he had had a deep friends.h.i.+p ever since he'd been a child, and it was even accepted by their elders that the two of them would get married in the future.

No matter how smitten they are with Tan Mo, so what?

Tan Mo has been booked in advance by his family.

When he thought about this, the corners of Wei Keli's mouth curled up into a triumphant smile.

At this time, the gloominess he'd had since he'd learned that he was going to study in the same grade as Tan Mo at Beijing University disappeared, and he was even a little happy that Tan Mo and he had entered Beijing University at the same time.

No matter how outstanding Tan Mo is, she will belong to him in the future.

He will be the one that everyone will envy.

If Tan Mo hadn't skipped grades and taken the exam with her actual grade level, he would have already graduated by the time Tan Mo entered Beijing University.

Even if, like Wei Zhiqian, he'd continued his studies, he certainly wouldn't be in school often. Most of the time, he would be at Weifeng Company.

There wouldn't be time to see Tan Mo, and the people in school wouldn't even know about his relations.h.i.+p with Tan Mo.

It wouldn't be like now, when he could make everyone envy him.

However, at this time, Wei Keli didn't know that Wei Zhiqian had already blacklisted him.

Even if he put a lot of effort into getting a Ph.D., he shouldn't even think about entering Weifeng Company.
