Chapter 246: Chapter 246: A Horse Galloping Across the Plains Chapter 246: Chapter 246: A Horse Galloping Across the Plains Zhao Tingting’s deskmate noticed her suddenly turning red and gently poked her, asking with concern, “What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing…” Zhao Tingting quickly wiped away her tears, lowered her head to look at the paper she had torn, tore it off, crumpled it up, and stuffed it into the desk.
Just as she was about to start writing again, she heard her deskmate Xu Youyou chattering, “Hey, are you upset because of Gu Zhihan and Luo Mengmeng? I told you earlier to go and cause some trouble, but you haven’t done anything these past few days, have you?”
Xu Youyou looked up just in time to see Luo Mengmeng shamelessly leaning in to speak into Gu Zhihan’s ear. Seeing Zhao Tingting’s tearful eyes, she could easily guess what was wrong.
This girl is clearly in love but won’t go after what she wants…
Zhao Tingting put down her pen and gave her a helpless and distressed glance, “Those plots you suggested, like disfiguring someone or drugging them, only happen in novels, okay? We live in a society ruled by law!”
She didn’t want to end up in prison.
“That’s true…” Xu Youyou nodded thoughtfully and then added, “But even if you don’t sabotage them, you should still take the initiative to fight for him, otherwise Gu Zhihan will always belong to someone else!”
“But how can I be proactive?” Zhao Tingting’s delicate and fair face couldn’t help but fall, she wished she could, but she couldn’t think of any way to do it, it was even harder for her than solving math Olympiad problems.
Xu Youyou poked her and gestured towards Luo Mengmeng, “Just be like Luo Meng, with thicker skin and more initiative!”
Zhao Tingting turned her head and saw Luo Mengmeng enthusiastically talking to Gu Zhihan, continuing even though he ignored her and even rolled his eyes at her.
Utterly oblivious to self-awareness.
“I can’t… My skin’s not that thick!” She glanced over and then immediately looked away.
If she were to talk to Gu Zhihan and he ignored her, she would be devastated.
“Well, it’s up to you then.” Xu Youyou shook her head, finding it uninteresting, and stopped trying to persuade her, picking up a novel and starting to read with great interest.
Meanwhile, Zhao Tingting’s gaze once again drifted towards Gu Zhihan and Luo Mengmeng, she bit her lip as if she was making a difficult decision.
At last, she finally made up her mind…
The last class of the afternoon was swimming.
The school didn’t originally have it, but it was established following the call from the education authority, since the drowning rate among middle school students had become alarmingly high, which led to the addition of this class.
As soon as the class bell rang, Tong Mo walked towards Luo Mengmeng, ready to pull her along, “Chun Meng, let’s go, it’s time for swimming class, don’t forget your swimsuit!”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got it!” Luo Mengmeng pulled out her swimsuit from her bag. She was just getting up from her seat when she tugged at Gu Zhihan, who was still working on problems, “Gu Zhihan, stop writing, we have to go!”
Although Gu Zhihan nodded, he didn’t leave until he finished the problem he was working on, after which he followed Luo Mengmeng to the school’s swimming pool.
Once they arrived at the pool, they went their separate ways, one into the girls’ changing room and the other into the boys’ changing room.
“Not having to sit in class is just great!” As soon as she entered the changing room, Tong Mo took off her blue and white school uniform and adeptly changed into her swimwear–a blue bikini.
Even though she was just fourteen, her body had developed so much that she was no less than an adult.
Curves where they should be, slim where they should be, a true little enchantress in the making.
As Luo Mengmeng was getting ready to change, she couldn’t help but compare herself with Tong Mo.
