251 251 Do You Want to Join It Together?
After Tan Rou was called away by the princ.i.p.al, Tan Jing became more and more uneasy. Hence, she told the teacher that she was not feeling well and wanted to go to the toilet. The teacher didn’t say anything and just told her to come back quickly.
Tan Jing didn’t go to the washroom. She just wanted to eavesdrop. However, Tan Rou and the others spoke too quickly. Before she could reach the princ.i.p.al’s office, Tan Rou had already returned.
Tan Rou noticed that Tan Jing was waiting for her but didn’t want to pay attention to Tan Jing. However, Tan Jing was like a dog skin plaster and insisted on sticking to her.
“Xiao Rou, what did the princ.i.p.al say to you?” Tan Jing asked with a smile.
Tan Rou rolled her eyes and said angrily, “What does the princ.i.p.al say to me have to do with you? The princ.i.p.al didn’t mention you anyway.”
Tan Jing’s face tightened, but she still had a smile on her face. “I was just asking. Did the princ.i.p.al tell you about the physics compet.i.tion?”
Tan Rou deliberately said, “The princ.i.p.al said that this is just an ordinary physics compet.i.tion. There’s no need to pay too much attention to it. You can just partic.i.p.ate casually.”
“Did the princ.i.p.al really tell you that this was just a normal physics compet.i.tion?” Tan Jing asked nervously.
Tan Rou smiled and said, “Of course… I’m lying to you.”
She sneered. “Not only did the princ.i.p.al say that this is an important physics compet.i.tion, but he also said that the winner will be rewarded greatly. They can even enter Capital University in advance. It’s almost the same as what the cla.s.s monitor said.”
“Rourou, will you partic.i.p.ate in this physics compet.i.tion?” Tan Jing asked again.
“What does it have to do with you?” Tan Rou sped up and left. She didn’t need to report anything to Tan Jing.
Tan Jing gritted her teeth. Why was this girl acting so arrogant?! She had to embarra.s.s Tan Rou in the physics compet.i.tion.
The two of them entered the cla.s.sroom one after another. Tan Jing still remembered her excuse and did not forget to hold her stomach, pretending to be weak as she walked in.
“The princ.i.p.al asked you for you. Did he talk about the physics compet.i.tion?” Li Li asked quietly.
Tan Rou smiled and replied softly, “You guessed it right. The princ.i.p.al told me about the physics compet.i.tion. He also told me that my spot was internally decided. However, I still want to take the exam, so I refuse the spot.”
Li Li clenched her fists. “Yes! Even the princ.i.p.al trusts you so much. You must partic.i.p.ate in the selection test this time.”
“Do you want to partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion as well?” Tan Rou asked Li Li about it. Although Li Li’s results were not the best, she was good at physics. With a little guidance, Li Li might be able to get a place.
“I…”
Li Li scratched his face and said weakly, “My physics results aren’t that good. It’s hard for me to get good results.”
“Try it!” Tan Rou encouraged her. “Your physics results aren’t bad either. Even Song Lin is partic.i.p.ating. Aren’t you going to partic.i.p.ate? If you really get a good ranking, you can directly enter Capital University. Aren’t you tempted?”
Li Li was indeed a little tempted. “I would like to but my results are average.”
“Let’s partic.i.p.ate together. We can study together!” Tan Rou said.
Li Li was very happy. “Alright, let’s partic.i.p.ate together! ”
“Student Li Li, Student Tan Rou…” The English teacher on stage rubbed her eyes. “What are you guys partic.i.p.ating in together? Why don’t you tell me about it? I would like to partic.i.p.ate in it as well!”
Li Li blushed and stood up. “Teacher, we’re talking about the physics compet.i.tion. I think…”
The English teacher looked unhappy but she did not blame them. “You can talk about the physics compet.i.tion after cla.s.s. This is English cla.s.s now. Sit down.”
After Li Li sat down with a red face, she even pulled Tan Rou’s hand. “Let’s do it together.”
Tan Rou nodded. “Of course.”
After cla.s.s, Lu Qing brought a physics exercise book over. He asked Tan Rou, “Are you going to partic.i.p.ate in the physics compet.i.tion? Do you want to study the questions together? I have a very good physics compet.i.tion question book here.”
Tan Rou rejected him. “There’s no need for that. Li Li and I will do the research. It’ll be messy if there are too many people.”
Lu Qing was actually looking forward to studying the questions with Tan Rou. He had heard Tan Rou explain the questions to Li Li several times. Each time she explained the questions, she would always take a different approach and explain them in a simple and easy manner for others to understand. Many times, solving questions in compet.i.tions required such flexible thinking.
However, he didn’t expect Tan Rou to reject him. Tan Rou would rather do the questions with Li Li than discuss with him. Was he that unlikable?
Li Li saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly said, “Lu Qing, we are both girls. It is definitely not convenient for you to join us in the discussion. The cla.s.s monitor will also partic.i.p.ate in this physics compet.i.tion. Why don’t you discuss it with him?”
