Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What are you guys talking about?” Song Lin suddenly came over with a brown paper bag. “Tan Rou, this is for you.”
Tan Rou was very confused. Why did Song Lin give her something?
Song Lin showed a handsome smile. “I brought you breakfast.”
The surrounding classmates started to jeer, “Wow, Song Lin brought breakfast for Tan Rou. Is he going to woo Tan Rou?”
Someone asked, “Isn’t Song Lin chasing Tan Jing? Why was it that he’s going after Tan Rou now? Could it be because Tan Rou had become the eldest daughter of the Tao family from the Capital?”
“Song Lin, did you get brain damage from staying at home for too long?” Li Li asked.
Song Lin couldn’t resist Tan Ron’s rejection. He stuffed the thing into Tan Ron’s hand. “Take it.”
Tan Rou placed the leather bag on the table and asked Li Li, “Li Li, have you had breakfast?”
Li Li nodded. “I had eggs and porridge in the morning.”
“Are you still hungry?” Tan Rou asked again.
Li Li shook her head again. “I just ate. I’m not hungry.”
Tan Rou understood. She picked up the leather bag and brought the breakfast to a boy who loved eating. “Song Lin brought you breakfast. You’re welcome.” The boy was very confused. “Why did Song Lin buy me breakfast? Could it be that he poisoned it?”
Song Lin saw Tan Ron’s actions and heard the boy’s words. His expression turned ugly. He didn’t want to come over to please Tan Rou, but his grandfather had given him a death order. If he didn’t get on good terms with the eldest daughter of the Tao family, he would be kicked out from the Song family.
Song Lin could not leave the Song family. He had endured humiliation for so many years. He would have nothing left once he was chased out of the Song family.
Furthermore, he had his thoughts about pleasing Tan Rou. Tan Rou was the eldest daughter of the Tao family from the Capital. If he could woo and marry her, even if he were not the head of the Song family in the future, his status would be very high.
“Wow, it’s so sumptuous!” The boy opened the box excitedly said, “There are eggs and beef steaks. It smells so good!”
However, he didn’t like the egg very much. “This fried egg is actually in the shape of a heart. How old-fashioned.”
“Song Lin is indeed chasing Tan Rou.” A girl said sarcastically, “He was originally pursuing Tan Jing. Now that the Tan family has gone bankrupt, he’s courting Tan Rou, the eldest daughter of the Tao family. How shameless.”
This girl’s father was a big leader in the city. She was not afraid of Song Lin and would say whatever she wanted.
“How disgusting. An illegitimate child wants to pursue the real daughter of the Tao family from the Capital. Why don’t you see if you’re worthy?”
A boy then said, “Look at him. His family status and identity are not good enough for Tan Rou. His academic results are also not as good as Tan Rou’s. Although Song Lin is good-looking, Tan Rou was much better-looking than him. If I were Song Lin, I would find a hole in the ground and hide in it. I would never come out and embarrass myself.”
Tan Rou never cared about the gossip in class. Whether it was praise or scolding, she didn’t care. Because she had long seen through these fence-sitters. Today, they could criticize Song Lin and Tan Jing, but tomorrow, they could also criticize her. She had never felt that the people in the class were fighting for her, but she was rather disgusted by their behavior.
Song Lin said to Tan Rou shamelessly, “It’s okay. If you don’t like this, I’ll bring you something else.”
At this moment, Li Li took a broom and said to Tan Rou, “Rourou, it’s our turn to be on duty today.”
To show off in front of Tan Rou, Song Lin snatched the broom over. “I’ll be on duty for you instead.”
Tan Rou’s lips curled up slightly. Then, she pulled Li Li, who was going to be on duty, and said, “Since Song Lin is being so helpful, I’ll have to trouble you to clean up the entire class for us.”
Song Lin was stunned for a moment before he smiled. “I’ll only help you on duty.”
Tan Rou said, “I’m going to clean up the class today. I’ll have to trouble Student Song Lin then.”
Song Lin gripped the broom tightly. “Alright, I’ll clean it up now.”
When Xu Yan entered the room and saw Song Lin on duty, he looked as if he had seen a ghost. Song Lin had never been on duty. When it was his turn to be on duty, he would only let others do it. Xu Yan did not expect to see Song Lin on duty before graduation. It was bizarre.
“Rourou, why did you give him a chance?” Li Li asked in confusion.
Tan Rou replied, “Don’t mind it. Let’s go and memorize the books. If someone is on duty for us, we can memorize the books for a while longer..”
