Oh, dear! Fish me again

Chapter 16: Ordinary Little Poor

Tang Shu has always believed that plants need to be more scheming than animals.

Animals can live in groups, communicate through body movements or language, and have relatives and families...all of which make their survival easier.

But plants don't have these.

If you want to survive, you have to try your best.

When Tang Shu was still a holly tree, her roots spread across an entire hilltop. In the end, she was the only tree growing well on that piece of land.

Therefore, plants only seek survival and do not care about values ​​or reason.

On Monday, Tang Shu arrived at No. 1 Middle School very early.

When you first arrive in a new environment, before you have fully understood the situation, it is best not to be too conspicuous.

After changing into her school uniform, Tang Shu took out the prepared mask and put it on, covering most of her small face, which was only the size of a palm.

With his head half lowered, he followed the head teacher to the classroom.

A self-study class is going on in the classroom. The students in No. 1 Middle School are either rich or noble, especially in Class . The students are either top-notch students aiming for the top spot in the imperial examination or have outstanding family backgrounds. Their families have made special arrangements to take care of them, so the discipline is not strict.

"Classmates, excuse me for a minute. We have a new student in our class today..."

The head teacher gave a routine introduction at the front and his attitude was not enthusiastic.

Tang Shu adjusted her mask, lowered her face as if shy, and looked around calmly.

The classroom in front of me is spacious, but there are not many students.

The two tables in the middle of the third row with the best view are occupied by Zhang Li and Jiang Yulan, who are ranked first and second in the school.

Tang Jiali was sitting in the second row of corridor seats near the door.

When their eyes met, Tang Jiali immediately lowered her head and pretended not to know him.

The four seats behind Tang Jiali were occupied by Ming Ruoxi, the female villain who was engaged to Gu Chiqi, and her followers.

Looking further back, Gu Chiqi was sitting by the window in the last row. He raised his eyebrows and smiled at Tang Shu.

*

Tang Shu looked away. The head teacher next to her had just introduced her name and said that she had scored full marks in the entrance examination.

The students below curled their lips in disdain, oh, so he is a poor excellent student.

"Okay, Tang Shu, there's an empty seat in the fourth row, go sit down and study."

After sending Tang Shu away, the head teacher turned and walked out of the classroom.

The fourth row, right behind Zhang Li and Jiang Yulan.

Tang Shu took a look and did not go. She walked past Zhang Li without looking at him and went straight to the last row and stood next to Gu Chiqi.

"Gu Chiqi, I want to sit with you~"

"I?"

The boy was a little surprised. After all, don’t good students always sit in the front?

"Um!

"Tang Shu curled her eyes and said softly, as if she was acting coquettishly, "Is it not possible?"

"Of course,"

Gu Chiqi smiled, stretched out his foot, and kicked the table leg of the boy next to him.

"Hey, go sit in the front."

The boy didn't dare to provoke him. He glanced at Tang Shu resentfully, then packed his things and went to the fourth row.

*

Tang Shu sat down in the seat next to her and lowered her head to take a book from her bag.

Realizing that Gu Chiqi was looking at her, she turned her head and smiled softly at him.

Tsk, so good.

For the first time, Gu Chiqi felt that the seats in the class were too far apart. He simply reached out and pulled Tang Shu's desk a little closer to his own.

"Shushu, what's wrong with your face?" He pointed at the mask on Tang Shu's face.

"I have a cold, I'm afraid I can infect everyone..."

Tang Shu turned around and looked into Gu Chiqi's eyes with a smile, "Does your injury still hurt?"

As she spoke, she blinked, moved closer, and lightly touched the corner of Gu Chiqi's eye with the tip of her right middle finger.

It has been properly treated and has scabbed over.

She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him.

"Yeah, it's all right now."

Gu Chiqi couldn't take his eyes off her. When he saw the strands of hair sticking out from Tang Shu's ears due to the mask straps, he raised his hand and tucked them behind her ears.

This action was undoubtedly too intimate, and it was particularly glaring to those who were paying close attention.

*

"Your name is Tang Shu?"

The one who spoke was Ming Ruoxi's follower number one. She turned to face the back of the classroom with a sour smile on her face.

"We rarely accept transfer students in No. 1 Middle School. We are still in the third year of high school. Tang Jiali just came a few days ago, and now you are here. You both have the last name Tang. Are you related?"

Tang Jiali turned around and looked at Tang Shu nervously, but couldn't say a word.

At this time, Henchman No. 2 spoke up.

"I heard from my mother that Tang Jiali got lost when she was a child and was only found last month...You two are both from the south, is there some hidden relationship between you?"

This statement is a bit vicious, unclear and leads to speculation.

Tang Shu glanced at Tang Jiali and it was obvious that this fake rich girl had not yet integrated into the circle of beautiful and wealthy girls in the class.

waste.

Tang Shu stood up from her seat and responded with a smile.

"That's right~ Tang Jiali is my sister~"

"Xiaoshu you!" Tang Jiali screamed in surprise.

Tang Shu smiled and continued,

"My sister grew up in our family since she was a child. Last month, she finally found her ancestral home. We are all very happy for her~"

"My sister is kind-hearted and always wants to repay our family. She felt bad that my parents had both passed away, so she asked my family to take me in and even paid for my tuition at No. 1 Middle School..."

She looked at Tang Jiali, her eyes slowly moistening.

"Sister, I know you're worried that my classmates will look down on me, so you don't want me to say this... But I don't want people to misunderstand and speculate about our relationship behind our backs. Sister, you're so good to me, how can I let you be talked about by my classmates because of me..."

"Xiaoshu...you..."

Tang Jiali's expression was stiff and awkward. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she could only force herself to smile.

"Look at what you said, it's all my fault... hehe..."

The heroine Jiang Yulan was the kindest. She spoke immediately.

"Tang Jiali, you are so kind. The relationship between you two sisters is so touching~"

Immediately, a group of innocent girls followed suit. Even Ming Ruoxi, who always looked down on others, nodded to Tang Jiali for the first time.

"I didn't expect that despite your petty attitude, you have such a good heart."

Tang Jiali's eyes became brighter and brighter. It had been almost half a month since she started school, and this was the first sentence Ming Ruoxi had said to her.

She looked at Tang Shu again, her eyes softer.

Tang Shu blinked at her with an innocent look on her face.

*

On the side, Gu Chiqi was heartbroken.

"Xiaoshu, I didn't expect your life experience to be so..."

"Gu Chiqi, please don't sympathize with me~" Tang Shu turned her head and smiled at him, like a stubborn flower on a cliff, "I will be angry if I do that."

"Well, no sympathy."

Gu Chiqi responded gently, then restrained his expression, looked at the group of followers who had just embarrassed Tang Shu, and raised his voice,

"I'm making this clear today. If anyone dares to embarrass Tang Shu again, they will be making things difficult for me. I will make sure she can't survive in No. 1 Middle School."

The two girls just now shrank their necks and didn't dare to say a word.

Henchman No. 1 secretly provoked Ming Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, isn't Gu Chiqi engaged to you? Why is he so openly supporting another girl? He simply doesn't take you seriously..."

Ming Ruoxi glanced at her and said with disdain,

"She's just a small town test-taker. Both her parents are dead. You guys are almost done for, right?"

Yes, Number One secretly looked back at Tang Shu.

He is a poor guy and an orphan. He probably looks average with the mask on. Apart from his nice voice, he poses no threat at all.

Although I don’t know what kind of relationship Gu Chiqi has with her, it is definitely impossible for Young Master Gu to be with her.

Okay, let her go for now.

The group exchanged glances and reached a consensus.
