Chapter 108: An Underachieving School Hunk and Bully (15)
Translator: asa.s.sin
When Song Wen sees Gu Cheng, it looks like he has seen his family .
“Brother Cheng!”
Gu Cheng stops for a second and pa.s.ses him a bag in his hand with a little dislike: “Here are dishes packed for you . n.o.body has touched it . ”
Song Wen"s eyes are close to brim with tears since he has taken a terrible beating from his parents, half of his living expense has been deducted and what"s worse is that he missed the meals served by the canteen .
Poor Song Wen suffers from both hunger and a broken heart .
“Brother Cheng, from now on, you are family!”
Gu Cheng waves his hand: “Give me a break . I don"t have a brother as dumb as you are . ”
Advertis.e.m.e.ntSong Wen: “ . . . ”
He has a piece of red-cooked pork in his mouth, hearing what Gu Cheng has said, and he mutters: “You go too far . We"ve been friends for two years . Do you hate me that much?”
“How come you only realize that now?”
Song Wen chews on a drumstick angrily and refuses to talk to Gu Cheng any more .
At this moment, Ah Zhao walks into the cla.s.sroom .
Her steps are light and she"s humming a tune as she walks . Clearly, she"s in a good mood .
Song Wen greets her when he sees her: “Did you go to the canteen for a meal? How do you like it?”
Ah Zhao gives it a thought and exclaims: “The students of our school are good runners . ”
Good runners they were . When the bell for the end of cla.s.s rang the cla.s.sroom turned empty before Ah Zhao realized what happened .
Song Wen is curious: “Weren"t you in a hurry at lunch time in your previous school?”
Ah Zhao has no idea about that . She searches the memory that belongs to this body before she says: “Back then I wasn"t a resident student so I ate at home . ”
Right now, she doesn"t board at school either . She eats at school simply because she doesn"t feel like going back home .
Song Wen lets out an “Ah” sound: “Then you didn"t have a good lunch, did you?”
Though the food in the canteen of Second High isn"t famous for its good taste, there are levels of bad tastes . For example, between pork with green peppers and boiled potatoes, everyone will choose the former, which leads to a situation where those who are there late won"t have a chance to choose .
Ah Zhao smiles: “I met a very kind aunt who gave me sweet and sour spareribs and braised fish since she knew I was late . Oh, she gave me veges as well . ”
Song Wen: “ . . . ”
Sweet and sour spareribs? Braised fish?
He turns to a cla.s.smate by his side: “Is there anything as fancy as that in our school canteen?”
That cla.s.smate shakes his head: “In dreams, maybe . ”
Seeing that they don"t believe her, Ah Zhao says hurriedly: “It was that forty-some chubby aunt who has a kind smile with curly short hair . Don"t you know her?”
They recall that there is such a woman in the school canteen .
However, when Song Wen compares the aunt with a kind smile in Ah Zhao"s word to that in his memory, he looks at the boy beside him face to face . Both boys see confusion in the other"s eyes .
Is Ah Zhao talking about the ugly shrew who is in charge of the canteen of Second High, who has a penetrating voice when it comes to scolding, who sometimes gets food for the students herself and displays perfectly how to shake the ladle in a way that no student can get a piece of meat from her?
Having heard their description, Ah Zhao is shocked: “How come? She"s a nice lady . ”
Song Wen is beyond grief and indignation: “How come she treats different people so differently?”
Ah Zhao thinks about it and says with a deep meaning: “That"s why I told you to study hard and improve your grades . See, as a top student, I"m better off than you guys in any field . ”
Song Wen covers his chest without a word and feels sick at heart .
After that, one thing suddenly occurs to Ah Zhao: “Where"s your homework? Let me see it . Do you have any problems?”
Song Wen: “ . . . ”
And Gu Cheng who is watching the fun by their side: “ . . . ”
