“Xiao Rou, let me tell you. The physics question I saw last night was fascinating. I was about to solve it but realized there was a hidden condition….” Li Li was talking to Tan Rou about the physics questions when a person suddenly appeared at the stairs and startled her.
“Liang… Liang Lu!” Li Li pointed at Liang Lu. “You…What are you doing here?”
Liang Lu glanced at Li Li, then took out the test paper that was folded to the size of an eraser from the pocket of her school uniform. “You said that you would be my friend if I got 60 marks.”
Tan Rou took the test paper and looked at it. The test paper was folded very small and looked old. It could be seen that the person who wrote the test paper must have taken it out often.
The score on the test paper was 61 points, just above average.
“Not bad. You’ve improved so much in such a short period of time,” Tan Rou encouraged. “It shows that you’re brilliant. You’re just not willing to work hard.”
Liang Lu put her hands in her pockets and said, “Well, I did get myself into this school with my academic results.”
“But you wasted more than two years.” Tan Rou took the test paperback. “If you want to recover your original results, you must put in more effort.”
Liang Lu frowned. “I’ve already done it. Shouldn’t you be my friend?””
Tan Rou smiled, teasing her, “Those who don’t know better would think you’re courting someone.”
Liang Lu blushed. “Are you trying to renege on your promise?”
“How is that possible?” Tan Rou extended her right hand. “h.e.l.lo, my friend Liang Lu.”
Liang Lu slowly extended her right hand and shook it. “h.e.l.lo, Tan Rou.”
“I am delighted with your results.” Tan Rou said, “But just one subject isn’t enough. If we want to continue being friends, you must continue working hard next time.”
Liang Lu didn’t want to waste her time anymore. Otherwise, she would have to drop out of school and go home to find a job when everyone else went to university in a year.
“Then, can I come to you for help if there’s anything that I don’t know?” Liang Lu asked shyly.
“Of course, you can.” Tan Rou pushed Li Li out. “This is my deskmate, Li Li. Her grades are also excellent. If I’m not around, you can ask her.”
Liang Lu did not object. She reached out her hand. “I’m Liang Lu. Let’s be friends.”
Li Li was still in a daze. They were still making a scene in the cla.s.sroom a few months ago. A few months later, they actually wanted to shake hands and be friends. She couldn’t believe her eyes!
“Why? Are you unwilling?” Liang Lu asked when she saw Li Li in a daze.
“Ah, no, no, no…” Li Li shook her head repeatedly and held Liang Lu’s hands with both hands. ‘Td love to! I’m Li Li. Nice to meet you.”
She also amused Liang Lu. “Li Li, right? If anyone bullies you in the future, say my name.”
Li Li felt that Liang Lu was quite interesting, so she said, “Alright then! I’ll have someone to protect me from now on.” She pulled Liang Lu with one hand and Tan Rou with the other, saying, “I’m so blessed!” With Rourou helping me with my studies and Liang Lu protecting me in school, I can do whatever I want!”
The three girls laughed.
Coincidentally, Tan Jing came downstairs and stared at Tan Rou angrily. Liang Lu actually knew Tan Jing better. Due to how Tan Jing and Lu Qing had been rumored, Liang Lu had always treated Tan Jing as a love rival. Later, when she discovered no such thing, she let it go.
“Do you want me to teach her a lesson?” Liang Lu had also heard about the grudges between Tan Jing and Tan Rou. Now that she was Tan Rou’s good friend, she naturally had to help Tan Rou.
“No need.” Tan Rou thanked her for her kindness. “She can’t cause much trouble in school now, nor can she hurt me. Don’t provoke her because of me, lest she takes the opportunity to report you to the princ.i.p.al.”
Liang Lu listened to Tan Rou. “Alright. Since you don’t want anything from her, I’ll leave her alone.”
She was terrified when Tan Jing heard that Liang Lu would teach her a lesson forTan Rou. She was a true gangster. As long as someone made her unhappy, Liang Lu would hit them.
Liang Lu glanced at her and warned, “Tan Rou is my good friend now. You’d better not do anything bad behind her back. If I find out, I’ll ensure you can’t leave the wheelchair for the rest of your life.”
Tan Rou urged, “Let’s go, Liang Lu. Let’s go up and take a look at your physics paper. You still have a lot of room for improvement.”
Liang Lu put her hands in her pockets and followed Tan Rou and the others upstairs.
Tan Jing’s heart was beating very fast. On the one hand, she was afraid that Liang Lu would teach her a lesson; on the other hand, she was angry at Tan Rou. How did Tan Rou get so many friends so easily? Even the school bully, Liang Lu had been subdued by her. On the other hand, there was no one around her now. She even has a problem trying to go up the stairs..
