"Were you peeking at me just now?"
Ding Kemeng's hand hung awkwardly in mid-air, unsure whether to retract it or not. "No, you must have mistaken me!"
"How do you know I was looking at you if you weren't looking at me?" Lu Ziyin asked with a smile.
"I..." Ding Kemeng was at a loss for words. She opened her mouth but then fell silent.
Seeing Ding Kemeng's expression, Lu Ziyin laughed. Afraid of teasing the little girl any longer and making her angry, Lu Ziyin decided to stop while she was ahead. She took out the cookie, brought it to Ding Kemeng's lips, and said, "Maybe I'm just mistaken. Here, open your mouth, this cookie is delicious!"
Ding Kemeng's face turned red, her little cheeks puffed up, and she opened her mouth to take a bite of the biscuit. While chewing the biscuit, she glared at Lu Ziyin, looking just like an angry hamster!
Lu Ziyin laughed even louder...
On Monday, the flag-raising ceremony proceeded as usual, with the principal giving a speech followed by the head of academic affairs. The school also took the opportunity to announce the winners of the city-level physics competition.
Six students from Xiushui participated in the competition, but only two won awards. One of them was a boy from Class 3 who won third place in the city's physics competition. The audience applauded and cheered enthusiastically. The boy, wearing black-rimmed glasses, went on stage to receive his award.
The remaining spot went to Ding Kemeng, who came in second in the city. This time, the applause from the audience was noticeably louder, and the students in Class 10 were overjoyed! As they watched Ding Kemeng walk onto the stage, they all boasted to the students from the other classes around them.
This is from their class, Class 10! Second place in the city, their Mengjie!
Lu Ziyin looked up at the little girl, his eyes brimming with smiles: his adorable child was truly outstanding...
The certificate was awarded by Principal Lu Tian. He handed Ding Kemeng an envelope and the certificate, and said some encouraging words with a smile.
Although I knew about this girl named Ding Kemeng before, this is the first time I've seen her up close. She's really beautiful! And smart too. I don't know what bad luck she had to be snatched up by that brat of hers!
Ding Kemeng accepted the certificate, said a few words of thanks just like the boys before her, and then went downstairs.
After the awards ceremony, the head of student affairs spoke for a while, and then all the students returned to their respective classrooms.
On the way back, Tang Zhizhou and the others kept chattering and laughing around Ding Kemeng. Tang Qiushui passed by, saw them, and instinctively called out, "Brother Ziyin!"
Lu Ziyin paused for a moment, then nodded.
Tang Zhizhou was a little surprised when he saw Tang Qiushui: "Qiushui, what are you doing here?" Class 1 and Class 10 are quite far apart, why is his sister here?
"I came to talk to Ziyin. Didn't your Class 10 win an award?" Tang Qiushui said.
Tang Qiushui glanced at Lu Ziyin and said helplessly, "The winner wasn't from Class 10, it was Sister Meng. Why are you congratulating Brother Lu?!" How come his sister still hasn't given up!
Tang Qiushui felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but feel resentful towards Tang Zhizhou. Why did her brother always manage to ruin her plans? It was so annoying!
Ding Kemeng had no interest in dealing with Tang Qiushui, so she gave her a perfunctory nod and left to return to her class. Seeing this, Lu Ziyin didn't linger and quickly followed her.
The others were too lazy to deal with Tang Qiushui, the young lady, and quickly left, leaving only Tang Zhizhou. He looked at Tang Qiushui, sighed, and said, "Tell me, what's so smart about you? Our Tang family doesn't need to depend on the Lu family to survive. Why do you insist on clinging to Lu Ziyin?"
Feeling humiliated by so many people, Tang Qiushui's eyes turned red, and she roared, "What do you know, you idiot!"
"Tang Qiushui!" Tang Zhizhou was so angry with Tang Qiushui that he didn't want to talk to her anymore. "Whatever, I can't be bothered with you!"
"I don't need your help!"
After a full day of classes, Lin Changmao and the others were already impatient for the last class in the afternoon. They kept checking the clock during class, afraid that the teacher would go overtime.
The teacher was also puzzled as to why these students were in such a hurry to leave school. However, it was the last class, and he was too lazy to extend the class. Finally, just a second before the bell rang, he waved and said, "get out of class dismissed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Changmao jumped up from his seat, rushed towards Lu Ziyin, and grabbed his hand, "Brother Lu, you can't run away!"
Lu Ziyin, who had no intention of running away, said, "Let go of me, I'm not trying to run!" Does he seem like a person who doesn't keep his word?
"Hehe, this is just in case!" Lin Changmao chuckled slyly.
Lu Ziyin looked at Ding Kemeng, "Does our little one want to watch a basketball game?"
"Sister Meng, do you want to watch it? It's really good!" Lin Changmao strongly recommended to Ding Kemeng.
After sending a message to her mother, Ding Kemeng looked up and smiled, "Yes, I'm going to go see it!"
Lu Ziyin smiled, leaned close to Ding Kemeng's ear, and whispered, "Cheer me on later, okay?"
“Okay…” Ding Kemeng’s ears tingled and she couldn’t help but blush.
With that settled, the group headed to the basketball court in a grand procession. Xie Sichen had originally intended to slip away early, but Lu Ziyin, with her sharp eyes, managed to stop him and instructed Lin Changmao to hold him back, dragging Xie Sichen along to the basketball court.
Xie Sichen: "..." Damn you, you dog Lu Ziyin!
A group of spectators had already gathered on the basketball court. The news that Xiushui and No. 3 Middle School were going to play a game had spread all over the school's online forum long ago. What's more, Xiushui had even sent Lu Ziyin this time, which was big news!
The students from No. 3 Middle School had arrived. Several tall and strong boys, now dressed in blue jerseys, stood on the court, warming up.
Lu Ziyin and the others had also changed their clothes in the school's locker room and were now slowly walking towards the court.
There were quite a few girls in the audience, and they all got excited when they saw Lu Ziyin and the others.
"Lu Ziyin! It really is Lu Ziyin!"
"Lu Ziyin really came! The news on the forum wasn't lying!"
"He's so handsome!"
Lu Ziyin didn't react to the noise behind her at all. She looked around, found a place for Ding Kemeng, put her clothes in her arms, and said gently, "Cute baby, why don't you sit here and watch?"
Ding Kemeng nodded, "Okay, go play ball, I'll watch your clothes for you."
The girls in the audience only then noticed the girl behind Lu Ziyin. Some of them, who were from No. 3 Middle School, asked with some confusion, "Who is that girl? Is she Lu Ziyin's girlfriend?"
"Lu Ziyin actually found her a seat herself, that's so kind of her!"
"That girl is so lucky!"
The girls from Xiushui glanced at Ding Kemeng, already used to it.
Who else could be the girl around Lu Ziyin besides Ding Kemeng! Boss Lu is like a Siamese twin; wherever Ding Kemeng goes, he goes too. They've long been used to it!
"Brother Lu, come and do some warm-up exercises!" Lin Changmao was doing warm-up exercises on the court when he saw Lu Ziyin still talking to Ding Kemeng, so he quickly reached out and called out to him.
Upon hearing this, Ding Kemeng looked at Lu Ziyin and said, "Go and warm up, Da Mao is calling you."
