Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There was a two-and-a-half-hour break at noon. They could make some adjustments and face the afternoon exam in their best condition.
Lu Qing felt that the atmosphere between Tan Rou and Tao Yue was not right. Moreover, Tao Yue often glanced to the right when she was eating. Although she was in the middle, it still could not stop Tao Yue from looking at Tan Rou. “Do you know that girl just now?” Lu Qing asked.
“Yes.” Tan Rou nodded. “That’s my second uncle’s daughter. Before I came back, she was the eldest daughter of the Tao family.”
“Oh, then you two are sisters.” Lu Qing said, “But I feel that the way she looks at you is a little strange.””
“We are not sisters. I don’t have sisters either, only brothers.” Tan Rou sneered. “She was originally the eldest daughter of the Tao family and the number one socialite in the capital. Now that I’ve returned to the Tao family, she can only be second. Besides, she’s not my second uncle’s biological daughter. She was adopted by my second uncle and second aunt.”
“I see.” Lu Qing understood. He reminded Tan Rou, “Tao Yue isn’t simple. You have to be careful of her in the future.”
Tan Rou was also aware of this. In her previous life, although she did not interact with Tao Yue, Tan Jing did. When Tan Jing came back from meeting Tao Yue, she was not in good spirits for a few days. She did not say anything when asked what happened. Tan Rou had guessed that it was that rich lady Tao Yue who had embarra.s.sed Tan Jing. She had even wanted to avenge Tan Jing in the future. Now that she thought about it, she was really stupid.
“Got it. Thank you for your reminder.” Tan Rou smiled and said, “Let’s go to the rest area to rest. We still have a match in the afternoon. If we don’t rest well now, it will affect our performance in the afternoon.”
The three of them went to the rest area. There were already many people there. However, they were not resting. Instead, they took the time to read the questions.
Li Li saw so many people doing the questions and remembered that she had spent a long time eating. She couldn’t help but feel guilty. “Rourou, I’m a little nervous. I feel like we wasted too much time eating just now.”
Tan Rou was amused by her words. “If you choose not to have lunch, you might not even have the chance to go on stage in the afternoon. You might just faint in the resting area.”
Li Li was angry and said, “We blame Tao Yue for stopping us. If it wasn’t because she didn’t let us go, we would have finished our meal and came back quickly.”
“We have already finished reading the questions and we’ve studied the methods to solve them.” Tan Rou encouraged Li Li. “Li Li, you have to believe that you can get good results. Plus, didn’t you perform very well this morning?”
Li Li was still a little nervous. “I was able to answer the questions because you were by my side in the morning. If our seats were far apart in the afternoon, I would be very nervous.”
Tan Rou handed the ballpoint pen that she usually used to record things to Li Li. “This pen is for you. You won’t be nervous with it.”
This ballpoint pen seemed to have magic. Li Li was filled with confidence when she held onto it.
“I’ll definitely get good results this afternoon!” Li Li held the ballpoint pen up and encouraged herself.
“Don’t worry, the individual questions in the afternoon definitely wouldn’t be harder than the ones that we’ve answered this morning.” Tan Rou comforted Li Li again. “Based on your standard, you will definitely achieve a satisfactory result.”
Tao Yue and the others were following behind Tan Rou and the other two. Hearing Tan Ron’s words, Tao Yue found it funny. Did she really think that they were just playing around? This was a national physics compet.i.tion. How could the questions be simple? Only a fool like Tan Rou, who didn’t know anything, wouldn’t be nervous.
“Tan Rou is really calm.” Deng Yao also heard Tan Ron’s words. He said, “One of the reasons for partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion is to see your ability. The other is to see your mentality. Tan Rou is such a capable young lady with such a strong mentality. I reckon she will get good results.”
Tao Yue was about to die from anger. What kind of magic did Tan Rou have? Not only did her grandparents like her, but even Deng Yao, who had barely spoken to her, was full of praise for Tan Rou.
“Humph!” Tao Yue’s loyal supporter, Gao Ming, snorted coldly. “WithTao Yue around, Tan Rou can only be second.”
Tao Yue was very happy when she heard that, but she still pretended to compete modestly. “I may not get first. There are other people who are better..”
