The weather is getting hotter and hotter now. Boys are very active and sweat a lot.
Ah Wu looked at Su Huaibai who had just finished playing basketball in the physical education class. The band-aid on his forehead had already shown signs of sweat penetration. In such hot weather, it would be bad if the wound was infected.
“Let me change the band-aid for you.”
Ah Wu thought about it and took out an unused band-aid from her school bag.
“You girls are trouble.”
Su Huaibai was still angry about Sheng Chenglin’s invitation the previous second, but the next second, he returned to his original cold attitude because of Ah Wu’s words.
He had a stern face and seemed somewhat reluctant, but his movements were much faster than his words, as his entire head was already in front of A Wu.
This little love-brained girl must be fascinated by him.
A little man appeared in Su Huaibai’s heart, cheering and leaping for joy.
He had long forgotten about Sheng Chenglin.

Ever since she followed Sheng Chenglin to Class 9 and saw Xiang Wu that day, Han Yunsu seemed to be worried.
In order to verify her guess, she held fashion magazines of different styles many times and pretended to let Sheng Chenglin see them accidentally.
Lolita, neutral style, Hanfu, punk style…
Sheng Chenglin didn’t react much to these magazines.
Instead, one day she took out an old magazine from a distant past and saw five non-mainstream girls with wild hairstyles on the cover, and a strange expression appeared on Sheng Chenglin’s face.
It seemed like nostalgia, with a faint smile.
When Han Yunsu saw Sheng Chenglin’s expression, she almost dropped the magazine in her hand.
She had never thought that Sheng Chenglin liked this kind of style, a style that was popular for a while ten years ago, but now it was a shameful style to think about.
It was like the perfect male idol in your mind suddenly picked his nose in front of you. Sheng Chenglin’s image in Han Yunsu’s heart instantly dimmed because of his aesthetic preference.
But Han Yunsu had liked Sheng Chenglin for ten years. After finally impressing him, she was suddenly sent back to twenty years ago. She couldn’t let him go.
Now that she had discovered such a secret, did she really have to make such a sacrifice to get Sheng Chenglin’s true heart?
Looking at the golden afro, the thick black eyeliner, the heavy eye shadow, the pale makeup that did not match the normal skin color at all, and the clothes mixed with many elements such as lace, skulls, exaggerated jewelry, etc. in the magazine, Han Yunsu wished she could poke her eyes out.
With trembling hands, she hid the magazine deep inside the desk and took several deep breaths, but she still couldn’t make the decision.
Perhaps there was something wrong.
Han Yunsu felt that she should observe it carefully again.

Sheng Chenglin didn’t know that the smile he showed when he saw the magazine caused such a big misunderstanding.
Perhaps it was because his mood was different. Now thinking back to the farces that Xiang Wu had caused when pursuing him, he no longer felt disgusted, but instead, he found it a little funny.
Thinking about how Xiang Wu now treated him like an ordinary classmate, he felt relieved but also a little disappointed.
Whenever he had the latter emotion in his heart, Sheng Chenglin would despise himself.
Could it be that he was also the kind of vain man who enjoyed the pursuit of other girls and felt lost after the other party gave up?
If that was really the case, he was really despicable.
In order to divert his attention and to reduce the burden on his mother, Sheng Chenglin found a tutoring job.
He had won the gold medal in the Olympic Science Competition and was a top student in a top middle school like Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School, so it was not difficult for him to find a job tutoring primary and secondary school students.
Soon, someone contacted him and offered one-on-one tutoring for 100 yuan per class. If the child being tutored showed significant academic progress, he would also receive a substantial bonus.
Originally, this kind of job was not his turn, but he heard that the other party happened to be a student of Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School and was in the same grade as him.
The other party’s elders thought that perhaps top students of his age would understand the key points of study better than ordinary college students from prestigious schools, so he was lucky to be selected.
On Saturday, Sheng Chenglin arrived at the designated location ten minutes early.
It was a villa area. The owner had greeted the security guard early. Under the guidance of the security guard, he walked into a large villa with front and back gardens.
“Miss, the math tutor for you is here.”
The servant of the house took him to the living room and brought him tea and fruit.
Not long after, cheerful footsteps were heard on the stairs.
Sheng Chenglin looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that it was Xiang Wu.
Sheng Chenglin was stunned for a moment.
“Is this your home?”
When Xiang Wu pursued him, he had heard about the Xiang family’s wealth and background from his classmates, but Sheng Chenglin’s heart was not moved at all at that time. He only wanted Xiang Wu to stop pestering him.
Today, after experiencing a huge change in his family, watching the little princess slowly coming down the carved stairs inlaid with gold foil, Sheng Chenglin’s heart has a few traces of an inferiority complex.
