Sure enough, Su Rou was late. The teacher for the first class already knew Su Rou well. Seeing her enter the classroom, the teacher said nothing and just let her in silently.
Xiao Yun laughed. "Rourou, I love the look on the teachers' faces. They're so annoyed but can't do anything to you." Every time she saw such expressions on the teachers' faces, she felt really satisfied.
Su Rou let out a soft laugh. "Is it my fault?"
"I just don't get it. Your brother said you don't have to go to school. Why do you still push yourself so hard?" Xiao Yun knew Su Yuze, Su Rou's brother. He doted on his sister so much and their family was well - off. She really couldn't understand why Su Rou still chose to go to school.
Su Rou looked at her with big innocent eyes as if it were the most natural thing. "I want to help Ze - ge in the future." Su Yuze had taken care of her since she was a child. Naturally, she wanted to repay her brother when she grew up.
Xiao Yun shrugged. "Silly girl."
"Huh? What did you say?" Su Rou didn't catch her words clearly because Xiao Yun had spoken too softly.
"Nothing. Let's listen to the class."
...
As soon as the bell rang for the end of the class, the students put down their pens and gathered in twos and threes in the corridor, chatting or smoking.
After class, Ling Tiantian slumped tiredly on her desk and let out a sigh. Suddenly, it got a bit dark in front of her. She reflexively looked up. "Meimei, what's up?" Ling Tiantian was extremely cautious around this newly - made rich - girl friend.
Su Meimei was still as she always was, with delicate makeup and wearing high - heeled shoes. "Fat girl, you don't mind me calling you that, do you?"
"N - no, I don't mind." Ling Tiantian shook her head awkwardly. Although she didn't really like this nickname.
Su Meimei's smile became even more dazzling. "Fat girl, tell me something about Su Rou. I haven't seen her for a long time. I don't know how she's been lately."
"Well, I haven't known Rourou as long as Xiao Yun and Yu Fei have." She had actually joined their group later. In fact, the three of them had always been the closest.
Su Meimei nodded as she listened. "That's okay. Just tell me whatever you know." Although she pretended to be kind on the surface, she was actually extremely impatient inside. Just say it quickly. Why are you being so long - winded!
Ling Tiantian told Su Meimei what she knew. "Rourou is so cute, isn't she?" When she talked about Su Rou's eating habits, she couldn't help but laugh. Su Rou loved sweets, but Su Yuze didn't let her eat too much. Once, when Su Yuze came to pick her up from school, he found a lot of sweets hidden in her schoolbag and confiscated them on the spot. Su Rou was so anxious that she was squirming around.
Su Meimei pretended to be very interested on the surface, but inside she was full of complaints. It seemed that Su Rou was living an even more comfortable life after leaving the Su family!
"You mean she was always late for class in junior high school and never got scolded by the teachers?" When Ling Tiantian mentioned Su Rou's history of being late, Su Meimei couldn't hold it in anymore. How could she be so spoiled?
"Yeah. At that time, everyone in the school knew there was a genius in our class who was always late, but the teachers couldn't scold or punish her." Sometimes Ling Tiantian couldn't understand either. How could Su Rou always be late and miss the morning reading but still always rank first?
"After all these years, she's become even more spoiled!" Su Meimei laughed coquettishly, and her words started to sound a bit harsh.
"To be honest, I also think Rourou is a bit spoiled!" Ling Tiantian didn't notice the harshness in her words. Instead, she agreed with her because she really thought so. But in the end, it was her own jealousy at work!
Su Meimei saw the obvious jealousy on Ling Tiantian's face, so blatant. She knew that Ling Tiantian was about to change her opinion of Su Rou.
"Hey, being young has its advantages." Su Meimei spread out her hands as if it were an afterthought.
Right. Su Rou was only fourteen, more than two years younger than them. She had even skipped a grade. Ling Tiantian was no longer in the same class as Su Rou, but she could imagine that Su Rou must still be late every day! Ling Tiantian unconsciously bit her lower lip. She was really... so jealous!
"Right? When we were kids, she always took my things just because she was younger. But I'm the elder sister... Oh, never mind. Class is starting." Just as Su Meimei finished speaking, the bell for the next class rang. She gave Ling Tiantian an innocent smile and walked back to her seat.
When she turned around, the smile on her face deepened. She knew that her words must have had a little impact on that fat girl Ling Tiantian!
Yes, Ling Tiantian began to think that Su Rou wasn't as innocent as she seemed. Although it was a kind of distrust of her friend, after hearing Su Meimei's words, Ling Tiantian just felt angry. Why could Su Rou be late and the head - teacher wouldn't say anything to her? Even all the teachers ignored her lateness, and some teachers even cared about her health. Unlike them, students who got punished for being late...
Jealousy. They were all students. Why was there such a big difference?
