CHAPTER 142: CHAPTERS 98-99: SEEING THROUGH/CONFRONTATION_4

Tang Luo took a look around and poked Luo Ye with a smile: "Luoluo, did you notice that we from class two all ended up at the Zhou table? What a coincidence."

Wang Shanshan and Wang Feng, Yang Yan and Pan Fang, Zhong Chongmei and Wu Liang..., Luo Ye swept a glance around, nodding: "Indeed, I hadn’t noticed before."

Tang Luo pouted: "Luoluo, the two of us have been excluded. After school yesterday, Wang Shanshan, Wang Feng, Yang Yan, Pan Fang, and others had a small meeting. They want to work together to surpass students from other classes."

"Just team up with me, and we’ll be fine."

Tang Luo cockily tapped her little head: "Exactly, I don’t need their invitation. Let’s aim for first and second place in the class, see how that sits with them."

Not having controlled her volume, the two students in the front row turned back in surprise, their gazes very much like someone who just discovered Martians.

Tang Luo threw up a defiant fist at them: "What are you looking at? I didn’t say I’m going to take first and second place in this exam."

The slightly chubby boy shrank his neck: "Hero Tang, I surrender. My name is Tang Qingming. We’re all T-ang family here, let’s get to know each other." The girl at his desk just turned her head back to her book, hmm, as expected, the same sex repels.

...

Seeing the two of them became desk mates, Ying Nuo pouted, looking as though she was about to burst: "Cursed Tangtang, you finally got my spot as you wished."

"Nuonuo, what’s with that boy always blushing and glancing at you? Did you seduce him?" Tangtang suddenly pointed at a boy who was occasionally blushing and stealing glances in their direction.

"Annoying Tangtang, don’t change the subject. That’s my new deskmate, Liu Qi, the former vice monitor of class one. The object of his blushing isn’t me, but you, Tangtang. He’s had a crush on you for a long time. Oh, right..." Ying Nuo pulled out a small envelope from her pocket: "It’s for you."

"For me?" Tang Luo pointed to her own nose and asked back.

Ying Nuo smirked mischievously: "Correct, a love letter. Luoluo, should we have Tangtang read it out to us?"

"Cut it out, I’ll read it. Who’s scared?" Tang Luo snatched it away and tore it open, while Liu Qi’s face reddened even more in the distance, with a look of wanting to see but not daring to.

"Forget it, don’t read it. We can’t afford to hurt the kid’s pride if it gets damaged." Luo Ye quickly stopped Tang Luo, adding: "If you’re going to read it, do it when he’s not sneaking peeks at you. There’s nothing wrong with a secret crush, oh, wait, it’s openly crushing now."

"Luoluo, you’re even worse." Tangtang giggled and nodded: "Alright, I’ll listen to you. We’ll read it behind his back, without him knowing."

"It’s all thanks to our Princess Rong wielding power and changing seats. A sparrow is a sparrow; how could it turn into a phoenix without reason?" Tian Furong and the others from Princess Rong’s Flower Protection Team deliberately raised their voices while approaching Luo Ye and the rest, clearly still holding a grudge for the previous incident where her plans were disrupted by Luo Ye and others.

Tang Luo whispered with a mischievous smile: "Luoluo, should I find some time to burst someone’s bubble?"

"Forget it, they’ve built themselves up and it’s not blocking our way. Let’s not do something thankless." Luo Ye laughed, stopping Tang Luo, who was certainly someone who’d say something and do it.

"Humph, playing the lady with me yesterday, the subtext of her words was that her dad is a high official, and I’m just an unsophisticated bumpkin from a nobody family. Just thinking about it makes me angry."

"Her dad’s a high official?" Ying Nuo touched her forehead: "A Car Official, Tangtang, you can’t be discriminating."

"Nuonuo, you’re just adorable." Luo Ye pinched Ying Nuo’s earlobes: "Deal is made, you’re my sister-in-law, no backing out."

"Luoluo!" Mou Nuo stamped her feet reluctantly: "You’re bullying again!"

...

Luo Feng was sprawled on his dormitory bed, engrossed in a book, when his roommate Liu Yang came up all mysteriously: "Luo Feng, someone’s looking for you, and it’s a beauty."

"Did she say what her name was?" Luo Feng lifted his eyes from the book but didn’t move.

"She didn’t say, but she’s really pretty, down there in the flower bed." Liu Yang’s face was full of envy: "Luo Feng, so many girls like you, why doesn’t anyone come looking for me?"

Another head popped out from a different bed: "You should change up your image a bit, lighten up your skin, tweak your personality, and pretty girls will come knocking on their own."

Seeing Luo Feng glance over, Wang Liang quickly explained: "Luo Feng, I’m saying this out of envy, jealousy, and hatred, it’s not meant to be demeaning."

Liu Yang knocked on Luo Feng’s bedpost: "Luo Feng, go on down, don’t let the girl wait."

Luo Feng shook his head: "No, I’m not going. If you feel bad, go keep her company." He had seen through the dorm window that it was Liang Jing standing below, the girl his younger sister strictly forbade him from liking.

He wasn’t a fool; he knew Liang Jing’s intentions very well. But since his sister had said so, he naturally wouldn’t give the other party any wrong ideas, to avoid deeper harm later.

"Really, you’re acting like a big shot now." Liu Yang shook his head: "I won’t interfere anymore, but if you can bear it, then let her wait down there."

"Alas!" Liang Jing sighed heavily and sat down on the small stone bench in front of the flower bed, rubbing her legs. She had been standing there for nearly an hour, the looks from passing students ranging from mockery to sympathy to indifference... Clearly, everyone understood the kind of cold reception she was facing.

"Liang Jing, I look down on you." Zhuang Meili walked over, her eyes filled with deep disdain: "I like Luo Feng, but when I found out he doesn’t like me back, I chose to watch him from a distance. What about you with your relentless pestering? What’s that amount to?"

"Meili." Liang Jing looked pitifully at the other: "Since Luo Feng helped me last time, he’s not paid any attention to me, and I can’t even catch up with him after class. I really can’t understand why, so, I want a reasonable explanation, that’s all."

"Do you really think that way?" Doubt flickered in Zhuang Meili’s eyes: "You’re not lying to me?"

Liang Jing nodded: "I’m not lying, really!"

"Then... then I’ll go up and ask him for you."

"Thank you, Meili. As long as he comes down and talks to me for a bit, I promise I won’t bother him again. I’m a woman of my word." Liang Jing clenched her fists tightly, her voice slightly choked up.
