Tang Xi just sat down on her seat as if not hearing her. She then took out the English textbook that Little Five prepared for her yesterday, and prepared for the next cla.s.s. Seeing Tang Xi ignore her, Peng Yu s.n.a.t.c.hed her English textbook, stood up and looked down at Tang Xi, saying coldly, “Are you deaf? Go sit in the last row! I don’t want to sit with you.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and took a look at the book grabbed by Peng Yu. Her eyes had a cold gleam and she gave a cold smile. She then clasped her arms against her chest, crossed her legs, and leaned backward as she said calmly, “I’m not deaf, but I can only understand human language. Who do you think you are?”
Hearing this, the students who was holding their breath and listening to them, all gasped, and Peng Yu turned pale in anger. She shouted, “How dare you!”
“Yes, so what?” Tang Xi interrupted her, and looked up at her with a straight face, saying, “Let’s make it clear, since Mr. Pu asked me to sit here, I’ll sit here. If you don’t want to sit with me, you can find another seat to sit, or shut up.” With that, Tang Xi smiled, and reached out to take back her book from Peng Yu’s hand
Peng Yu took a deep breath and glared at Tang Xi, saying threateningly, “Do you know who I am? Even your uncle won’t dare mess up with me, let alone you!”
“Oh, sorry, I don’t know who you are.” Tang Xi said and casually put the book on the desk, laughing. “I never turn to my uncle for help when I’m bullied.” She usually turned to her brothers for help. Her father was too busy to deal with this trivial matters. And it was better to ask her brothers for help… As for her uncles… they were either big-shots, or… well, forgot it. It was simply impossible for them to pay attention to these trivia.
Peng Yu squinted at Tang Xi. “We’ll see. You’d better not cry when I revenge on you!”
Tang Xi stretched herself and looked lazily at Peng Yu. “Okay, I wait for you. But remember to take revenge on me after next Wednesday. I’ll go to Paris tomorrow.” She then opened the textbook, and at this time the bell rang.
Seeing this, Ning Ke sitting in the first row touched his trouser pocket, and then took out his English textbook.
In the English cla.s.s, Tang Xi performed excellently. Her proficiency in English greatly impressed the English teacher. In the end, the teacher only spoke English. Every time she asked a question, she would pick Tang Xi to answer. Therefore, only a few students understood what the teacher lectured. Tang Xi stood up and sat down so frequently in the cla.s.s that even her thigh hurt.
After the cla.s.s, the English teacher walked up to Tang Xi and said with appreciation, “I had heard your old cla.s.s master said you were very talented at foreign languages. Now I know what he said was true. I have also learned Russian. I think we can discuss about the experiences on learning foreign languages.”
Tang Xi stood up with a smile and said modestly, “Mr. Wu, I’m flattered. It’s just that I’m interested on foreign languages, so I watch more foreign language programs than others. If there is a chance, I’d love to discuss the learning experiences with you.”
Mr. Wu nodded with appreciation, and turned to look at the other students, saying, “Hand your dictation papers to the commissary in charge of studies, and I’ll check them later.” With that, he looked at Tang Xi with a gentle smile, saying, “Let me see yours.”
Tang Xi nodded and handed her test paper to Mr. Wu. The latter took a look at it and smiled as she said, “No wonder they said you were a genius. Your answer is all correct.”
Tang Xi smiled. “I previewed the cla.s.ses last night, and memorized the vocabulary.”
“Very good.” Mr. Wu said and left. Ning Ke, the commissary in charge of studies, drawing a long face, began to collect the students’ test papers. Suddenly he frowned, and asked out loud, “Who is the representative of English cla.s.s?”
“Me.” A boy with gla.s.ses stood up and asked, “What’s up?”
Although this Ning Ke was several years younger than him, he was a bit scared of him for some reason…
Ning Ke took a look at the representative of English cla.s.s and asked impatiently, “Isn’t it the English representative’s duty to collect the English test papers?” With that, he put the test papers in his hand to the representative of English cla.s.s and said, “Give your test papers to him in future. I’ll not be in charge of this. Don’t bother me unless there is something exciting.”
The students looked at each other with doubt. Then why did you accept to be the commissary in charge of studies?
Ning Ke raised his eyebrows, looked at the stunned students and sat down. He accepted to be the commissary in charge of studies not to do this stupid jobs, but to give Xiao Rou a face.
When they were in Grade One, the monitor would keep notes for Xiao Rou. Now it seemed that he needed to do this for her. Otherwise, she would miss a lot of cla.s.ses when she came back from Paris.
Tang Xi was unaware of Ning Ke’s thoughts. She left her seat and walked towards her former cla.s.sroom. She had something to ask Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan was very excited to see Tang Xi and ran excitedly out of the cla.s.sroom. The other students were also excited to see her and greeted her in succession. Tang Xi warmly responded and then took Chen Ziyan’s arm to beckon her to go to a corner. She then asked Chen Ziyan in a low voice, “Have you asked your mother to find that couple for me? Has she got any clue?”
She asked Chen Ziyan to asked her mother to search for Lin Ru’s biological parents. Ms. Lin was familiar with Lin Jiao, so she might know something private about Lin Jiao. It would be easier for her to find Lin Ru’s parents. She had also turned to Qiao Liang for help, but he had got no clue… Although Mother didn’t mention her biological parents anymore, she could tell she was eager to find her real parents.
Chen Ziyan shook her head and said, “Sorry, Rourou, my mom had asked my dad to search for the couple you mentioned, but he got no clue. The only thing we know is that the Lin Family moved to City W over forty years ago, so if we want to get more information, we may have to find the people who were the Lin Family’s neighbors forty years ago. My mom had asked her men to find those people, but there were very few of them still living there. They either moved or… had died.”
Tang Xi’s eyes lit up when she heard this. She asked, “Some of them have moved? Do you have their contact information? I can search for them myself.”
