Huo Beichen almost fainted again!
He forced himself to stand up and held Ning Meng's hand. Even if he told himself that ghosts did not exist in this world, he could not help but feel fear at that moment.
"Lord Chen, you're awake?"
Ning Meng exclaimed. Granny Huang turned around and saw Huo Beichen. Granny Huang smiled and said, "My dear child, why did you faint? Miss Ning Meng said that you didn't have dinner and your blood sugar is low. Come, drink this bowl of snow water and you'll be fine … "
Granny Huang was a superstitious person. She took the water from First Snow and filtered it a few times before adding some brown sugar. Drinking brown sugar water in the middle of winter could warm one's body.
However, to Huo Beichen, it was a different story …
Blood water??
Huo Beichen felt even more dizzy. He looked into the cup in fear and saw that it was all red!
Huo Beichen was stunned!
He almost pushed the bowl to the ground. At that critical moment, Ning Meng held his hand and said, "Yes, this is brown sugar water!"
"??"
Huo Beichen came back to his senses and looked at Granny Huang again. Ning Meng had pinched his arm a few times and he was more awake.
Ning Meng smiled and said, "We were just passing by today and Lord Chen wanted to see you. Since you're fine, we'll leave after drinking this bowl of brown sugar water!"
Granny Huang smiled and nodded. "Sure, sure."
Huo Beichen was still in a daze. After being pinched a few times by Ning Meng, he finally came back to his senses and took a deep breath.
After drinking the bowl of steaming hot brown sugar water, he felt even more awake.
However, when he thought about how he had embarrassed himself in front of Ning Meng, he felt a little embarrassed. He kept his mouth shut and his face darkened.
After saying goodbye to Granny Huang, Huo Beichen walked in front of her in a fit of anger. He felt that if he walked any slower, this woman would laugh at him.
He almost staggered out of the alley and heard the woman shouting behind him, "Hey, why are you walking so fast? Are you showing off your long legs? "
"Lord Chen, Brother Chen? Walk slower, I'm scared! "
What was there to be scared of?
This woman was definitely doing it on purpose. She was mocking him!
Lord Chen was furious and he increased his speed.
Ning Meng cupped her hands around her mouth and said, "Lord Chen, please slow down. What if a Spider Spirit suddenly appears at the corner in front of us?"
"Aiya, do you hear footsteps behind you?"
"…"
She grumbled for a long time. This was a rare opportunity to mock Huo Beichen, and she could not miss it. Then, she saw Huo Beichen walking faster and faster until he disappeared around the corner.
"??"
She quickened her pace and walked over. Just as she was about to look for him, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the corner and directly pounced towards her!
Roar!
The sudden roar added a bit of terror to the atmosphere.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Ning Meng was shocked. She screamed and jumped twice on the spot, covering her head with her hands. She had only jumped a few steps when she heard a mocking laugh.
"???"
She looked up and saw Huo Beichen standing in front of her.
He was still wearing his school uniform, with one hand in his pocket and the other pointing at her. He was smiling happily.
"…!"
This was the first time she had seen Lord Chen act so childish!
She stomped her feet angrily and chased after Huo Beichen, shouting, "Stop right there!"
Seeing that she was chasing after him, Huo Beichen instinctively ran toward the parking lot …
Both of them laughed and scolded each other as they returned to the villa. Once they had entered the villa, Ning Meng opened her mouth. "Grandma Huang is perfectly fine. Huang Cheng said that Grandma Huang had passed away. He was lying. But why did he lie and skip class?"
Huo Beichen frowned.
Ning Meng saw him like this and patted his shoulder. "It's okay. You guys go to class tomorrow. I'll go and see him!"
Grandma Huang had passed away. She would definitely take more than one day off. This meant that Huang Cheng would still skip class tomorrow.
Huo Beichen could only nod.
The next morning, Ning Meng, Ning Ke, and Huo Beichen went to the school. Ning Meng went to the bungalow beside the school and looked at the Huang family's house from afar.
Huang Cheng left on time. Song Meilan sent him to the door and said, "Come home on time tonight. I'll make you your favorite vegetarian meatballs!"
"Okay."
Huang Cheng waved his hand and jogged a few steps. After making a few turns and Song Meilan could no longer be seen, Huang Cheng stopped and ran in the other direction.
Ning Meng quietly followed behind him.
Actually, she did not have the right to interfere with Huang Cheng's plans. After all, she was only three years older than him. However, she had tutored Huang Cheng for so many Math lessons and had seen his grades rise steadily. Ning Meng did not want to see him go astray.
If he was doing something serious, she could ignore him. But if he was …
Huang Cheng turned a few corners and finally came to a small river. He walked back and forth around the river, stopping from time to time to look at the river. Finally, he found a place and sat down quietly, letting out a sigh.
Ning Meng was confused.
What was this guy doing?
Skipping class just to enjoy the river breeze?
Looking at him, he looked very dispirited. His head was lowered, and his shoulders were drooping.
Ning Meng was speechless.
After observing him for two hours, Huang Cheng still did not look like he was going to leave. Ning Meng took two steps forward and pretended to be passing by.
Huang Cheng raised his head and his pupils shrank when he saw Ning Meng.
He stood up immediately.
Ning Meng asked, "It's class time. Why are you here?"
Huang Cheng was a little flustered. He racked his brains and answered, "I … I have something to do nearby!"
"What is it?"
Huang Cheng scratched his head. "It's that. My mom asked me to buy some revision books."
Ning Meng looked at him and smiled. "Oh, the biggest library is right in front of the school. You came here to buy books?"
Huang Cheng continued to lie. "I'm not here to buy revision books. I'm here to buy … yes, yes!"
Ning Meng stared at him and continued to smile.
Huang Cheng could not continue to lie after seeing her smile. He lowered his head and sighed. "Alright. I can tell you, but don't tell my mom. I skipped class. "
Ning Meng saw that he was willing to talk, so she walked over and sat beside him. "Huang Cheng, what's wrong?"
Huang Cheng lowered his head. "I don't know. I just feel like I can't breathe."
He raised his head and his eyes were a little red. "Sis, did you know? During the winter holidays, my mom was very strict with me. I tried my best, but I don't know why I did not do well in the exams. Especially in Mathematics. They all tested me on the questions you taught me. I knew how to do it, but I just couldn't do it … "
"My mom treated me very well every day. She would prepare breakfast for me. She was afraid that the school lunch would not be good, so she would bring lunch for me. She was even more considerate at night. Did you know? She actually had a job, but she quit her job for the third year of high school. She just wanted to be with me.
"The more I think about it, the more I feel sorry for my mom. I tried my best to study, but I just couldn't do it …"
As he said this, his eyes turned red. He pressed his hands hard against his eyes and said in a choked voice, "Sis, I don't understand. Is the college entrance exam the only way out?
Am I guilty if I don't do well in my studies? "
Towards the end, his voice was choked with emotion.
Ning Meng looked at him and took out a piece of tissue from her pocket.
Huang Cheng took it and wiped his tears and snot. He continued to cry.
"…"
She was a little confused. She had never thought that such a cheerful boy like Huang Cheng would suddenly skip class because he was under too much pressure!
She was not good at persuading people!
She could only sit there and accompany Huang Cheng. "Actually, your mom is doing this for your own good …"
Huang Cheng nodded. "I know. That's why I'm under so much pressure. My family is not rich, but my mom spent a lot of money to hire a private tutor for me. That's why I'm under so much pressure."
"…" Ning Meng thought to herself. She was the private tutor who spent a lot of money.
Huang Cheng continued to talk for a long time. In the end, Ning Meng could only cough. "Erm, why don't I tutor you without charging you? Don't cry anymore. "
"…" Huang Cheng was speechless.
Would he solve his stress problem by not charging her money?
Huang Cheng lowered his head and continued to cry.
Ning Meng saw that a big boy like him was crying like a sissy. She steeled her heart and grabbed his arm. "Come with me."
Huang Cheng did not know what she wanted to do, but he stood up and followed her.
The two of them came to a dance machine. Ning Meng bought some coins and threw them into the machine. Then, she said to Huang Cheng, "Come on, dance to your heart's content!"
"…" Huang Cheng was speechless.
He thought that Ning Meng was very childish, but this dance machine was really fun to play with. When he looked at the screen, he could not help but dance with her.
The two of them danced for a full two hours. In the end, Huang Cheng's whole body was drenched in sweat. He was so tired that he sat down at the side, panting heavily.
Ning Meng walked to the side and bought two bottles of water. She passed one to him and sat down beside him. "Do you feel better?"
When one was depressed, exercise could relieve the stress.
Huang Cheng raised his head and drank a big mouthful of water. "Yes! I feel so much better! Sis, I didn't expect you to be so good at dancing even though you're old. "
"??"
Who the hell was old?!
Forget it. She would not argue with a little kid.
Ning Meng took a deep breath to suppress her dissatisfaction. Then, she patted his shoulder. "Young man, the college entrance examination is a stage that everyone has to go through. I'm not saying that you have to do well in the college entrance examination. What I want to tell you is that you are taking the exam for yourself.
How many points you get, which school you go to, how you live after you graduate, it's all for yourself. So, as long as you have a clear conscience and work hard, I think your mother will not be disappointed in the final result! "
Huang Cheng fell into deep thought when he heard this.
Ning Meng moved her shoulders. "Actually, my experience is more complicated than yours. When I was in high school, I had the idea of dropping out."
Huang Cheng was stunned. "Why?"
Ning Meng shrugged. "I'm an orphan. After I turned 18, the orphanage would no longer be responsible for my expenses. After I graduated from high school, I went to work. It would be easier for me, but I still chose to go to college. Even if I had to work part-time to earn money for my tuition and living expenses, it would be tiring. But if I had graduated from college and looked back …
"Let's not talk about what I've learned in college. The process of going to college is a life experience for me. I'm glad that I worked hard enough back then. I don't regret it now. When you reach my age, you will thank yourself for your hard work. "
Ning Meng's words were not very profound. They were just some simple words. But in Huang Cheng's ears, it was as if someone had hit him on the head.
Yes.
He worked hard for himself, not for others.
Maybe it was because he had worked hard and the knot in his heart had been untied, or maybe he had really thought it through. Huang Cheng was suddenly enlightened.
He got up from the ground. "Sis, I understand now!"
He looked at the time and realized that it was already noon. He quickly ran out. "I'll go to class first. I can still make it for the first math class in the afternoon!"
Ning Meng nodded.
Ning Meng did not know if Huang Cheng had told Song Meilan that he had lied and skipped classes for a day and a half. She only knew that everyone in the third year of high school had worked even harder in the last six months of their lives.
In their most beautiful season, they were swimming in a sea of questions.
During this period of time, they might have been confused, rebellious, and even had the thought of dropping out of school. But they all gritted their teeth and persevered.
On this day, there were still 99 days before the college entrance examination. Ning Ke decided to cut her hair short. She said, "Washing and blow-drying my hair is a waste of time."
She had been oppressed by her father for 18 years. She wanted to stand out and leave this place.
However, when she went to school, Su Ye mocked her. "Your hair is too short, isn't it? You look like a real man! "
After returning home, Ning Ke brought up the matter and felt a little aggrieved. She touched her hair and felt a little heartache. "Big sister, did I cut it wrong?"
Ning Meng did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't listen to Su Ye. Can the length of your hair change your gender? Besides, hair grows very fast. When you finish your college entrance examination, it will be long! "
Ning Ke sighed.
Just as Ning Meng was about to ask, Huo Beichen, who was sitting beside her, opened his mouth. "Su Ye's words were not the most hurtful. The most hurtful thing was that when Huang Cheng entered the classroom, he saw that her eyes were red and he said something else."
Ning Meng asked, "What did he say?"
Huo Beichen glanced at Ning Ke and said, "Tell me. F * ck, which class is this student from? Why is she crying like a girl?"
"?????"
Tomorrow! There will be a big development in the plot … So, vote for me, my babies!?
