Chapter 177: Chapter 177: To Attend Evening Self-Study or Not
The next day, it was time to return to school.
Just after the first class had ended, the homeroom teacher came into the classroom to discuss the matter of the evening self-study session, “For first-year commuting students, the school does not mandate attending the evening self-study, but if you want to attend, go and register with the class president. Those who register can stay back this evening and go directly to the self-study session.”
After finishing, the homeroom teacher left the classroom.
The classroom immediately erupted into a buzz, everyone debating whether or not to attend the evening self-study that night.
Mengmeng and the others were no exception.
“Attending the evening self-study?”
The group exchanged looks, simultaneously asking each other the same question.
Tong Mo, “Definitely not attending.”
Lu Zichen followed, “I’m not going either, besides, my dad bought me a computer. You all should come to my house after school to play games.”
Mengmeng quickly added, “Then I’m not attending either.”
“You’re not going?” Nearby, Gu Zhihan, who had been ignoring them until now, couldn’t help frowning when he heard Mengmeng, “I am going to attend the evening self-study. Since you’re not, you might as well walk home by yourself every night.”
His tone was indifferent, but if one listened carefully, a hint of displeasure could be detected.
Upon hearing this, Mengmeng instantly changed her mind, “I, I just…suddenly feel like attending.”
She certainly did not want to walk home by herself.
And she certainly did not want to be home without him.
“Well, then I’ll add your name to the application form,” Gu Zhihan’s face slightly brightened with a smile. Just as he was picking up his pen to write, Lu Zichen couldn’t wait to jump in and speak.
“Mengmeng, don’t worry about no one escorting you home, I have a bike too, I can take you home,” he said, pounding his chest, looking seriously at Mengmeng.
At this, the pen in Gu Zhihan’s hands suddenly stopped, his grip tightening as he raised his eyes to look at Luo Mengmeng, awaiting her response, just like Lu Zichen.
Under the gaze of the two, Mengmeng flatly rejected Lu Zichen, “No.”
She only wanted to ride on her husband’s bike.
“Then you don’t want to come to my house to play on the computer?” Lu Zichen threw out another bait.
“I do…but I want to spend time with Gu Zhihan more.” Luo Mengmeng hugged the boy’s arm, batting her eyelashes at Lu Zichen, “How about we go to your house to play on the computer after school is out and the evening self-study session is over?”
Lu Zichen huffed, “You’re not welcome anymore!”
With that, he marched back to his own seat.
It infuriated him. Why was Chun Meng always clinging to Gu Zhihan? Wasn’t he just as good?
“Uh…randomly weird.” Seeing him suddenly get angry, Mengmeng was momentarily at a loss for words.
The one who invited them to play the computer at his house was him, and the one who said they weren’t welcome was also him…
After deciding to attend the evening self-study, it started that very evening.
The first year’s evening self-study only had two sessions.
The first was a lecture, and the second was allotted for self-study, where students could do their homework or read books.
Ironically, right as the homeroom teacher was passionately lecturing, the lights in the classroom suddenly went out.
Immediately following, the whole school plunged into darkness as the lights went out everywhere.
Because this scene was so sudden, several timid girls immediately screamed in fright.
Mengmeng, who was deeply asleep, was abruptly woken up by the noise.
Upon opening her eyes to complete darkness, she paused and then couldn’t help but join in the chaos, “Ah, ah, ah, where am I, why is it so dark…”
Mengmeng was obviously confused from sleep, forgetting where she was.
