TSMVHATRM Chapter 83

Time Space: the Male Villain Has the Ability To Read Minds Chapter 83: Going to School

The straps of this new schoolbag are so sturdy, it looks like they will last for a long time.

Pei Tiantian saw Gu Rong shaking his head, and she suddenly realized it.

How could she forget that no one had ever bought Gu Rong a schoolbag before.

Poor villain.

Pei Tiantian couldn’t help but feel pity for him, and stretched out her little fleshy hand to tug at the straps of Gu Rong’s schoolbag, “Brother Gu Rong, when I save enough money, I can give you a new schoolbag every semester, okay?”

Gu Rong was stunned for a moment and didn’t quite react.

“Brother Gu Rong, don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I will never let you suffer in the future.”

Pei Tiantian promised, patting her chest.

A “chuckle” came from the side, it was Wan Cuilan who made it.

She said to the other members of the Pei family, “Listen, why is Tiantian talking to Gu Rong like she’s coaxing a little girl?”

“Tiantian likes Brother Gu Rong, from now on, all Tiantian’s money will be spent on Brother Gu Rong!”

Pei Tiantian’s little mouth was so sweet that she blurted out a series of nice words.

This made the Pei family and Tao Jing laugh.

A blush crept across Gu Rong’s expressionless face, and even his ears, hidden by his hair, turned red.

School officially began the next day after registration.

The town’s elementary school typically had three classes per grade.

Due to student enrollment restrictions, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong couldn’t be in the same class with either Pei Zihao or Pei Tianyu.

They were assigned to Class 3, the smallest class in the fifth grade.

Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu were in Classes 1 and 2.

So, Pei Zhiwen now took the four children to school every day when he went to work in town.

Only after seeing them all in did he feel at ease returning to work at the factory.

Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu, the two tall men, followed behind, like two guardian deities.

Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong, the two little kids, strolled leisurely, their new schoolbags toting their backs.

Unexpectedly, they attracted 100% of the attention at school.

Many children rushed to look at their bags, their eyes filled with envy.

After all, many of them were carrying the same canvas bags. It was the first time many of them had seen such brightly colored backpacks with anime designs.

Gu Rong frowned, his face growing even colder as he took Pei Tiantian’s hand and hurried to their classroom.

Pei Tiantian looked around, taking in the elementary school’s surroundings.

The entire school was surrounded by three high stone walls, with white plaster haphazardly applied to the cracks in the walls, suggesting a rather crude construction.

The teaching buildings were also a row of low-rise bungalows, with little greenery around them, save for a few tall trees that slightly embellished the campus.

After Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong arrived at the fifth-grade class three classroom, they found an empty seat and sat down side by side. Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu then returned to their respective classrooms.

As Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong entered, they noticed quite a few people staring at them. Some looked at their new backpacks with envy, while others whispered to each other.

“Two little dwarfs…”

“They are so short that they should be in the first grade. Why are they in our fifth grade?”

“Did they get into the wrong class?”

These people were not in the same grade as Gu Rong before, and they didn’t know Gu Rong, let alone Pei Tiantian, so they were very curious about the two newcomers.

Tao Jing also arrived at the classroom of Class 3, Grade 5. Seeing Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian sitting down properly at the door, she left with peace of mind.

No one in the classroom noticed Tao Jing’s presence. Pei Tiantian was even more distracted by the conversations of some little kids in the classroom. She lazily lay on the table, her long eyelashes closed, and she yawned.

She was woken up by the Pei family at 6 o’clock today to go to school, and she was already sleepy.

Thinking that there would still be some time before class, she took a nap.

Pei Tiantian soon fell asleep in a daze.

“Ding-ling-ling… Ding-ling-ling”

Not long after, a clear and pleasant bell rang.

Pei Tiantian was still lying on the table motionless.

Gu Rong stared at the little girl’s half-chubby face exposed as she lay on her side with an expressionless face.

He couldn’t help but stretched out his hand and poked it. It was soft.

He poked it again.

Feeling that her face was being poked like dough, Pei Tiantian finally opened her eyes with difficulty, and vaguely saw that someone was standing on the podium.

She quickly stood up and saw clearly that the person standing on the podium was a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle.

The middle-aged man Ma Xiangdong put the thermos cup on the table, looked towards Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong, and smiled: “You two little kids are the two new skipping students, right?”

Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong nodded.

“Then come up quickly and introduce yourselves to your classmates.”

Ma Xiangdong waved to them.

Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong took the podium and wrote their names on the blackboard. Pei Tiantian then began to introduce herself and Gu Rong.

“Hello everyone, my name is Pei Tiantian, I’m about to turn six. This is my brother, Gu Rong, he’s nine. We’re both from Huangsha Village.”

Ma Xiangdong knew Gu Rong’s personal situation, so he wasn’t surprised when he didn’t say anything.

After listening to their introductions, he let the two little kids go.

But the audience couldn’t understand.

“Why are they in the same class with us when they’re so young?”

“I was seven when I was in first grade!”

“Why doesn’t Gu Rong speak? It’s his sister who’s always talking!”

“Teacher Ma, can they understand what we’re saying at such a young age?”

The first person to ask loudly was a small, crew-haired boy sitting in the first row, Ding Qiang.

Ding Qiang was the class monitor, the study committee member, and the top student in the class.

He frowned, glanced at Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong, and said unhappily, “If they don’t learn well, they’ll hold our class back.”

“Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong are very smart. They’ve both passed Principal Meng’s individual tests. They won’t hold our class back,”

Ma Xiangdong explained.

Ding Qiang still didn’t quite believe it.

He had just seen Pei Tiantian plop down and fall asleep the moment she arrived, so lazy she didn’t even take her books out of her bag.

He felt like Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong were too young, just hanging out in their class.

Ma Xiangdong saw Ding Qiang’s expression still a bit skeptical, and the other students seemed unconvinced.

He was a little worried.

Ding Qiang had always had a strong sense of collective honor, but he was also stubborn and would stick to his guns.

He was afraid the other students wouldn’t get along with Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong either.

But when he remembered what Principal Meng had told him about how smart Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong were, how they’d even gotten the middle school exam right, Ma Xiangdong’s concerns eased.

The students don’t trust Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian right now because they haven’t seen their intelligence yet.
