"I'm fine now. I came back to class." Tang Xi looked at Ning Ke with a smile. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ning."
Ning Ke scratched his head with a smile. "You're welcome." Then he thought of something and said, "I've made notes for you recently. Would you like to have a look?"
In fact, these lessons were not difficult for Tang Xi at all. She only needed to review them for a while, especially math. She was very good at math, so she didn't need to take notes at all. However … looking at Ning Ke's shy and expectant eyes, Tang Xi didn't have the heart to refuse him. It would be a sin for her to refuse a thirteen-year-old boy's kindness!
She nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Mr. Ning."
Ning Ke's dark eyes had a gleam of light and his face was full of joy. "Wait a minute. I'll bring it to you."
Tang Xi looked at Ning Ke's cheerful back and the corner of her eyes twitched. Was he going to become her little fan?
Before Tang Xi could fall into her thoughts, she was surrounded by countless female students. Well, there were also male students. Tang Xi looked at the students surrounding her and a gleam of surprise flickered across her eyes. She asked, "Guys … What can I do for you?"
"Are you really twenty-three years old?" A boy asked incredulously.
Tang Xi pursed her lips into a smile and felt depressed. Look, it was all 008's fault for giving her a junior high school graduation certificate. Now she was a freshman in high school, but now she was surrounded and looked at like a monkey!
When a thirteen-year-old was in his first year of high school or even university, people would call him a child prodigy and compliment him in all sorts of ways. However, when a twenty-three-year-old was in his first year of high school, he was a weirdo, and a particularly stupid weirdo at that. Fortunately, she didn't embarrass herself in class. Otherwise, the way people looked at her now would definitely make her feel even more unhappy.
"Yes." Tang Xi smiled awkwardly and asked, "I don't look like one, do I?"
The crowd nodded in unison. Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, wondering if these people asked her this just because she didn't look like a twenty-three-year-old girl.
"Yes, although you're very beautiful, you look sixteen or seventeen. But you're twenty-three years old!" A girl asked in surprise, "Is it because the air in the mountains is good, so your skin is well maintained?"
The sparkling and translucent skin was even better than a baby's and so tender and white. Not to mention her older sister, even she was very jealous!
The air in the mountains is good?
Tang Xi recalled what she looked like when she first became Xiao Rou, chuckled in her heart and shook her head. "No, maybe it's because my mother often gives me some skincare supplements, so my skin is very good."
When Ning Ke came over with the notes, Tang Xi was already surrounded by students. He stood outside and watched Tang Xi answer every student's question with a smile. He looked down at the notes in his hand and continued to stand there, waiting.
"Xiao Rou, are your grades so good because you studied before?" A male classmate asked, "Are the math teachers in your mountain good?"
Tang Xi's face changed. She didn't know whether this boy was really naive or deliberately poked at the thorn in Xiao Rou's heart. She smiled and said, "My mother tutored me after I came here. My mother is very good!"
"Wow, Xiao Rou, your mother is so good!" Some female students' eyes lit up. "Not only can she make beauty soup for you, but she can also teach you how to study."
Tang Xi smiled and praised her mother without any pressure. "Yes, my mother is very good. You can see it from my brothers."
"By the way, Xiao Rou, didn't we say that the class leaders will be elected at the end of September? You have good grades and are older than us, so you must be more mature than us. Can we elect you as the class leader?" A girl looked at Tang Xi expectantly.
She thought that class leaders should unconditionally help the students in the class. Then she could ask Xiao Rou to tutor her in math. She had always been not good at math. She could enter the experimental class because of her good grades in other subjects. If she could improve her math scores, she would definitely become one of the top ten students in the whole grade.
"Sorry, I'll take the exam in October and get promoted to the third grade." Tang Xi looked at the students around her with a smile. "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I'm getting old and I need to get a certificate as soon as possible."
The students looked at her with pity. Tang Xi comforted them with a smile, saying that they would still be good classmates and could still be friends after she got promoted to the third grade. Then the students dispersed. At this time, Ning Ke came over with the notes he had made. He looked at Tang Xi and asked with a frown, "You're going to get promoted to the third grade?"
Tang Xi nodded. "Yes, I'm old enough to be your aunt, but because of something happened before, I couldn't enter high school as I wished. Now that I've finally entered high school and my grades are not bad, I naturally want to get a certificate as soon as possible and then find a job."
Ning Ke frowned and his voice became cold. "Is it because of that woman?"
Tang Xi knew he was talking about Xiao Jinning, but Xiao Jinning didn't know that she was not a child of the Xiao Family. She smiled. "It's not her fault. I was swapped with the wrong baby when I was a child. Xiao Jinning didn't crawl over and pretend to be me, so it's not her fault."
Ning Ke's face didn't become better because of Tang Xi's words. Instead, he scowled. "It's her fault that you were swapped with the wrong baby."
Tang Xi looked at this stubborn child and shook her head. She took Ning Ke's notes and said with a smile, "Thank you. Ning Ke, you can hang out with your brother and the others when you're free. I often hang out with them."
"Jing?" Ning Ke frowned. "Do you have a good relationship with Jing and the others?"
Tang Xi pretended not to see Ning Ke's expression and smiled. "Yes, I have a good relationship with them. We often hang out together. You can hang out with us too."
Ning Ke looked at Tang Xi and asked in surprise, "Don't you review your lessons?"
Tang Xi. "… I have to find time to have fun. Only by striking a balance between work and rest can I learn better. You see, I'm better at math than you, because I don't study all the time. I just study while playing. It's very effective."
Ning Ke pursed his lips. "I'll go back and have a try." He turned to leave.
Tang Xi looked at Ning Ke's receding figure and a gleam of worry flickered across her eyes. Did she have a bad influence on a good boy?
But Ning Yan and the others all said Ning Ke was a prodigy. He wouldn't make his grades bad, would he? Thinking of this, Tang Xi shouted at Ning Ke's receding figure, "Hey, Ning Ke, it's good to study hard. You can play after graduation."
