Chapter 63: Chapter 71: Scaling the Wall (Part 1) Chapter 63: Chapter 71: Scaling the Wall (Part 1) “How come I don’t know about this?” Chen Nan stared at Su Qingqing and retorted, “Who told you that? It’s complete nonsense and tarnishes my reputation.”
“But everyone is saying it!” Su Qingqing scratched her head, “Besides, the Demon Concubine said you completely lack integrity.”
Chen Nan was somewhat speechless. It was one thing for Eastern Yun Fei to have an issue with him, but he never expected the boys in the class to be so keen on gossip. He had simply had a few words with Huo Xinya, and now such crazy rumors were spreading. If Lan Yuqin heard about it, she would probably twist his arm again.
“They’re just a bunch of lunatics,” he muttered.
Glancing around the class, Chen Nan cursed under his breath.
Though he spoke softly, Su Qingqing heard him and immediately glared at him, pinching his arm fiercely, “You jerk, did you just call me a lunatic?”
“Who said I was talking about you? Can’t you stop assuming things?” Chen Nan looked at Su Qingqing, frustrated, feeling an urge to slap her on the buttocks. This annoying girl liked to pinch people so much, he wondered if she had been a lobster or a crab in her past life…
Just then, the English teacher Li Li walked into the classroom. After greeting everyone, she began her lecture.
Despite her previous chatter, Su Qingqing immediately quieted down and started to listen attentively to the lecture.
As for Chen Nan, his eyes were glazed over, his head resting on the desk, looking half asleep. English was like a lullaby to him, it confounded him so much that he couldn’t understand a single word.
Suddenly, Li Li called out to Chen Nan with her English accent.
Feeling his eyes heavy with fatigue, and just as he was about to close them for a rest, he heard the teacher call his name and quickly sprung to his feet, “Teacher, did you call me?”
Li Li knew Chen Nan’s foundation in English was very weak; if not, he wouldn’t have asked her to speak Mandarin during a presentation last time. “It seems you’re not very spirited, were you paying attention to the lecture?”
As if, like hell he understood.
Chen Nan muttered to himself, hurriedly straightening up, “Yes, I was listening, of course.”
Li Li smiled and nodded, “Alright, then where did I leave off? Read that sentence back to me.”
Chen Nan scratched his head, not knowing what to say. He was frustrated. Not only did he not know where she had left off, but asking him to read in English was like asking for his life.
Seeing Chen Nan’s awkwardness, the boys in the classroom started to jeer, especially those who admired Huo Xinya and saw Chen Nan as a rival. They laughed uproariously and mocked him mercilessly.
“Dummy, it’s right here.” Su Qingqing pointed to a line in the book and whispered quietly, “Where is Li Li?”
Hearing Su Qingqing’s standard pronunciation, Chen Nan felt it was tough to mimic. After silently rehearsing it in his mind, he harshly blurted out, “My son, Li Li?”
Li Li was taken aback and frowned, “Say that again.”
Chen Nan scratched his head, feeling he must have pronounced it wrong, so he prepared himself and tried again, “My second son, Li Li?”
In that instant, the entire classroom erupted in laughter. The students laughed so hard they almost cramped, amused by his audacity to blatantly insult the teacher. Those who considered Chen Nan a love rival clapped and laughed, ready for a major spectacle.
Chen Nan felt very helpless. Had he mispronounced it again?
Glancing at Su Qingqing next to him, he saw her giving a thumbs-up, “Dummy, you’re awesome, respect!”
On the stage, Li Li felt even more helpless than Chen Nan. She had seen all of Su Qingqing’s little actions, originally thinking that although Chen Nan had a poor foundation, he might be able to read it correctly if he tried. But in the end, he ended up insulting her instead.
“Thank goodness I’m a girl, otherwise I’d actually be your son.” Li Li said with a resigned smile, shaking her hand, “Sit down, pay attention to the class.”
The whole class burst into laughter, especially Tian Piyan sitting at the back, who was shaking all over, almost laughing into convulsions.
Just as Tian Piyan was enjoying his laughter, Xiao Jiji suddenly slapped him on the head and said in a low voice, “Damn it, stop laughing, I’m trying to get on his good side here. If you offend him, how am I supposed to chase Su Qingqing later!”
Tian Piyan’s mind buzzed, and he suddenly remembered that Chen Nan was Su Qingqing’s cousin, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
After Chen Nan sat down, he was still puzzled, what did the teacher mean by that? Just then, Su Qingqing chuckled, “You still don’t know, do you? The teacher’s name is actually Li Li.”
Chen Nan suddenly felt the urge to bang his head against the wall, almost vomiting blood from the coincidence!
Because of this joke, Chen Nan spent the entire morning depressed. After the fourth period, Su Qingqing grabbed him and ran outside.
“What are you doing?”
Chen Nan glanced at her, feeling a bit depressed. If this little brat hadn’t reminded him earlier, the “My son Li Li” joke wouldn’t have happened; even though she meant well, Chen Nan always felt that the little brat was deliberately making fun of him.
“Going to eat, did you forget? You promised Tiantian this morning,” said Su Qingqing.
Right, Liu Tiantian had asked to have lunch together! Chen Nan looked at Su Qingqing gloomily, “It seems like you were the one who promised, not me.”
Su Qingqing pouted, “I’m your cousin, my promise counts as yours, can’t I make decisions for you?”
“Cousin or not, it’s just pretend.”
“So what if it’s pretend? Having me as your cousin should make you happy,” said Su Qingqing with a grin.
“Happy my ass, I have to carry you every day.”
“That’s because it’s comfortable when you carry me!” Su Qingqing laughed heartily, suddenly grabbed Chen Nan and extended both arms, “Crouch down and carry me.”
“You! I’m done with you.” Chen Nan turned and walked away.
Su Qingqing pouted her lips, then chased after him and jumped onto his back, laughing triumphantly, “Silly, a cousin who doesn’t pamper his cousin isn’t a good cousin, you know?”
Chen Nan turned to look at her, seeing her happy smile, charming dimples on her cheeks, and eyes almost squeezed into crescents, Chen Nan smiled wryly and shook his head. He had wanted to scold her, but now he completely lost the temper, “I really can’t handle you.”
“What can you do, since you’re my cousin, come on!”
When the two walked out of the school building, Chen Nan again saw the naturally cute—Liu Tiantian.
She was standing on the tree-lined path, her big watery eyes wide open, looking around, obviously waiting for someone.
“Little miss, we’re here,” Su Qingqing called out from Chen Nan’s back, waving her hand.
Hearing that nickname, Chen Nan subconsciously glanced at Liu Tiantian’s chest, those gigantic, unparalleled bosoms, small? Not at all, they were like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!
