“Are you talking about Xiang Wu? Hasn’t she been ranked at the bottom since she entered high school? She either skipped school or slept in class. How could she take notes?”
The teacher’s office in Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School is very large. There are more than just the teachers in Class 9 in this office, and Xiang Wu’s name is known to even teachers who don’t teach in Class 9.
Therefore, after the physics teacher said that, many teachers raised doubts.
As for the topic that the physics teacher said that Xiang Wu was too beautiful, it was subconsciously ignored. They had seen Xiang Wu’s killer mascot style before. How could that little girl dress up well with such poor aesthetics?
“I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?”
The physics teacher said unhappily. Did she have to tell such lies to deceive people?
“Is it true that she was hurt by love as her classmates said?”
A group of teachers joked that they were all still children, so they didn’t know what liking and love meant. In their opinion, Xiang Wu’s behavior was just playing house. When she grew up, she would know how childish and ridiculous her current behavior was.
Teacher Xu also laughed. He didn’t think the physics teacher would make fun of such a thing, and he was also curious about Xiang Wu’s changes.
He also felt that Xiang Wu might have been stimulated by Sheng Chenglin’s love affair, so she suddenly worked hard.
However, he didn’t know how long such a change could last for a child like her who had never studied seriously. He was afraid that this was just Xiang Wu’s three-minute enthusiasm.
“Sheng Chenglin?”
Just when the teachers were gossiping, a teacher suddenly spoke up. Then, the original gossip was instantly drowned out.
It turned out that Sheng Chenglin, the other protagonist of the gossip, appeared at the door of the office with a thick stack of math homework. It was unknown how much of their conversation the other party had heard.
“Teacher, this is yesterday’s math homework.”
Sheng Chenglin acted as if he had not heard the conversation just now. He put the collected homework on the math teacher’s desk and then left the office calmly.
After he left, there was a brief silence in the office.
Teachers are also human beings, so naturally, they are curious. However, as a teacher, being heard by students gossiping about their students always makes people feel embarrassed, as if there is a flaw in their teacher ethics.
Therefore, after a short period of calm, the teachers stopped talking about the topic just now, and instead, they talked about the teaching experience of each class, praised the students who studied hard, and discussed how to manage the students whose grades declined.
The atmosphere in the office became warm again.
***
Sheng Chenglin’s mood when he returned to the classroom was not as calm as his expression. He was still thinking about the words he had just heard.
Sheng Chenglin was very annoyed with Xiang Wu because the other party’s entanglement made him often appear in the gossip and jokes of his classmates.
Although Xiang Wu was often the only one who was laughed at, Sheng Chenglin felt that he had become the laughing stock of his classmates after dinner.
Xiang Wu’s love was not a happy thing for Sheng Chenglin, but a trouble for him.
Therefore, when the rumor that he was dating Fang Fang from Class 3 appeared, Sheng Chenglin did not refute the rumor immediately, with the purpose of making Xiang Wu retreat.
If the other party continued to entangle him knowing that he had a girlfriend, it meant that the other party’s morality was flawed, and he could naturally be more ruthless to the girl.
If the other party gave up on him because of this, he would achieve his ultimate goal and all troubles would be solved.
At present, Xiang Wu seems to be the latter.
While Sheng Chenglin was relieved, he sincerely hoped that, as the physics teacher of Class 9 said, she would be able to learn well because of this blow.
“Something big has happened! Something big has happened!”
When Sheng Chenglin was taking out the Mathematical Olympiad exercises to practice, his deskmate suddenly rushed into the classroom.
“Sheng— Sheng Chenglin, something big has happened!”
The other party ran a little fast, out of breath, and spoke incoherently.
“This is crazy. What kind of shitty aesthetics did Xiang Wu have before? Do you know what she really looks like?”
The other party was a little excited. Not only was he gesticulating while talking, he even banged the table because he was excited.
“There are quite a few people outside Class 9 right now. Let me tell you, if you see Xiang Wu again this time and she confesses her love to you, you should just accept her. I dare say that even the most popular young actresses are not as pretty as Xiang Wu. She really ruined herself by dressing like that before.”
Speaking of the rustic non-mainstream, Sheng Chenglin’s deskmate was heartbroken.
A doll that’s so adorable can be tolerated no matter how weird her temper is, okay?
Of course, the premise is that Xiang Wu’s aesthetic taste remains at the current level. If she were to be dressed like before, he wouldn’t be able to stand it.
“Oh?”
Sheng Chenglin raised his eyebrows. He had just heard a mouthful of it in the office. He did not comment on his deskmate’s exaggerated performance.
In his opinion, the most important thing about a person is his/her inner self. No matter how much Xiang Wu’s appearance changes, it will not change his evaluation of Xiang Wu.
“Xiang Wu and I are just ordinary classmates.”
Since the other party had thought it through, he didn’t want his classmates to associate him with Xiang Wu again. The best mode for the two of them was to not interfere with each other.
“Oh, right, I forgot that you’re already with Fang Fang… Bah, bah, bah, I don’t know anything. What kind of relationship could there be between you and Fang Fang?”
The desk mate suddenly realized that Sheng Chenglin had a girlfriend, and no matter how beautiful Xiang Wu became, he would not be with Xiang Wu.
However, Class 2 and Class 3 were key classes, and they were particularly strict about student’s early love. So, after saying the first half of the sentence, the desk mate suddenly changed his tone and pretended that he didn’t know that Sheng Chenglin and Fang Fang were dating.
“Class 9 will probably be lively in the future.”
Everyone loves beauty, especially since the doll was once a famous ‘school belle’.
He was afraid that for a long time afterward, there would be a steady stream of curious students who ‘happen to pass by’ or go to Class 9 to ‘find friends’.
He just didn’t know how long the normal aesthetic of the school belle could last.
