The first semester of senior year two began. Xiao Yun and Yu Fei looked at the slightly tanned Su Rou and asked curiously, "Where did you go for fun this summer? You've gotten so tanned."
"Am I really that tanned?" Su Rou looked at her arms. Having stayed in Bali for nearly half a month, it was inevitable that she got tanned under the strong ultraviolet rays. But... she thought it wasn't that bad. She wasn't extremely dark!
Xiao Yun looked her up and down. "You've really gotten a bit darker." But this color made her look healthier. "It's okay. You're not as dark as a black person. You still look good."
"Yeah, Rou Rou is still as beautiful as ever," Yu Fei comforted her. "But where on earth did you go? Sanya, Hainan? If it weren't for a place like that, you wouldn't have gotten so tanned, right?"
Su Rou smiled. "It's... Bali!"
"No wonder."
"Hehe, I brought souvenirs for you!" Su Rou rummaged through her small schoolbag and took out a lot of trinkets. She showed them one by one to Xiao Yun and Yu Fei, and then divided them evenly. "I bought two of each."
"Thank you."
Since the first day was the opening ceremony and classes would start officially the next day, Su Rou's schoolbag was filled with souvenirs and some snacks for the opening ceremony.
"Xiao Rou." A gentle voice came from behind Su Rou. Jiang Ling spotted the girl with curly hair at a glance. Her figure looked very slender. Only Su Rou's back could make him recognize her so accurately!
"Jiang Ling." Su Rou greeted him politely. "Hello."
"Um..." Jiang Ling didn't like it when Su Rou called his name in such a tone. It made him feel like they were strangers. "Long time no see. You seem to have gotten a lot darker." Since Su Rou used to be very fair, the change was quite obvious.
"Ah, don't keep talking about my skin color, okay?" Su Rou frowned slightly. Was she really that tanned? Why did everyone say so!
"Sorry." Jiang Ling scolded himself secretly. Girls loved beauty. His words must have made Su Rou unhappy.
Actually, Su Rou was just a bit annoyed that everyone was talking about her skin. She wasn't really angry. "It's okay. But... I didn't bring you any souvenirs."
"It doesn't matter." He didn't talk to her because he wanted souvenirs. He just missed her after not seeing her for more than two months. "The opening ceremony is about to start. Shall we go together?"
"Sure."
Xiao Yun and Yu Fei exchanged a knowing look. Xiao Yun put her arm around Yu Fei's shoulder, looking like a pair of good sisters. "We'll take a look at the gifts you gave us, Fei Fei and I. You go with the monitor first."
"You can look at them when you get home." Why did they have to look at them here?
"We're just curious!" Yu Fei waved her hand at Su Rou like chasing a chick. "Go quickly."
"Okay." Su Rou gave them a suspicious look and then left with Jiang Ling first.
Jiang Ling mouthed "thank you" to Xiao Yun and Yu Fei. Walking side by side with Su Rou, he asked, "Xiao Rou, how was your summer vacation?" Jiang Ling thought for a while. He couldn't just stay silent like this. He had to find a topic. But after thinking for a while, this was the only topic he could come up with.
"It was great. My brother took me to Bali and then to the seaside in China. I had a wonderful summer vacation." When talking about Bali, there was a bright smile on Su Rou's face. The time she spent traveling freely with Su Yuze was really wonderful. "What about you?"
Jiang Ling was a bit stunned. "It was okay, too." In fact, he just ate, slept, played basketball, and surfed the Internet every day. It was a boring life. He wasn't reluctant to travel, but as the future successor of the family, he had to study other courses during the summer vacation.
Moreover... without Su Rou by his side, traveling alone wouldn't be much fun.
"Then you played all summer. Did you do your homework?" Looking at her, it seemed that she had been playing every day. What about her homework?
"Homework?" Su Rou thought for a while. "Was there any homework?"
"...Didn't the teacher give out summer homework when we got our report cards?" Since we got our report cards one by one in the teacher's office, the teacher would give out summer homework at that time. There were a total of five homework assignments!
Su Rou recalled. "I don't know. The teacher never gave me any." So there was homework? The teacher seemed to have never given her any. "Anyway, I've never done my winter or summer homework since I started school."
Jiang Ling opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but finally held back. Well, it was normal for the people from the Su family not to do their homework!
But the difference in treatment was a bit too much!
...
The opening ceremony went smoothly. Two hours later, it was announced that school was over.
"Teacher, there seem to be some changes in our class, right?" Jiang Ling counted the number of students and felt that some of them were unfamiliar.
The head teacher adjusted his glasses and said, "Yes. Some students want to transfer to other classes this semester, so there are a few students who transferred from other classes. Jiang Ling, you can re - register them later."
"Okay."
Just as the head teacher announced that school was over, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open. A slightly chubby girl gasped for breath, propping herself up against the door frame. "Sorry, teacher. I'm late."
"Are you..." The head teacher flipped through the roster. "Are you the female student who transferred from Class Two?"
"Yes. My name is Ling Tiantian!" Ling Tiantian felt a bit helpless. She only found out on the first day of school that she had been transferred to Class One. She had stood in front of the bulletin board for a long time. She really didn't want to come to Class One because she would run into Su Rou. But they had already fallen out! It would be so awkward to be in the same class!
But on the first day of school, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on the teacher. She would figure out how to transfer classes later.
"Ling Tiantian?" Xiao Yun murmured the name and looked up at the door. A sneer of disdain appeared on her lips. She leaned over and whispered to Yu Fei, "The bitch is here."
"What bad luck."
Su Rou just glanced at the door and then continued to play with her phone with her head down.
The head teacher flipped through the roster. "Yes, Ling Tiantian... Why are you so late?"
"Oh, I didn't know I had been transferred. The teacher in Class Two said there was no name for me, so I..." Ling Tiantian explained nervously.
The head teacher nodded. "I understand. It's not your fault. Come in first. I'll dismiss you after I finish speaking."
"Okay, teacher." Ling Tiantian walked into Class One. She immediately noticed the cold looks from Xiao Yun and Yu Fei. She glared back at them and then found a seat in the corner and sat down.
