Knowing where Lu Ziyin was going over the weekend, Ding Kemeng somehow felt less aggrieved. Her irritability dissipated, and Ding Kemeng even took out a math problem book and started working on it seriously.
Tang Zhizhou had originally wanted to take advantage of the time before class to chat with Ding Kemeng for a while, but when he saw her pull out a workbook from her desk, he glanced at it and saw equations.
Tang Zhizhou pursed his lips and silently shrank back.
He shouldn't try to understand the world of academic superstars.
Lu Ziyin didn't slowly enter through the back door until it was almost time for class. Ding Kemeng was focused on taking notes, but she couldn't ignore the sudden appearance of someone sitting next to her, who was making quite a bit of noise.
Ding Kemeng wanted to turn around and talk to Lu Ziyin, but she wasn't sure if he had forgiven her or not. She was really conflicted.
Lu Ziyin sat down in his seat, put his backpack in the desk drawer, took out his phone from his pocket, and wanted to check the time, but the phone screen was always black. He then suddenly remembered that he hadn't charged his phone.
Lu Ziyin glanced at the Chinese teacher who was writing on the blackboard, sighed, stretched out her right leg, and kicked Tang Zhizhou's shin. Tang Zhizhou was reading a comic book and was startled when he felt someone kick him. He turned around and saw Lu Ziyin.
"What?" Tang Zhizhou asked in a low voice.
Lu Ziyin shook her black-screened phone and then pointed to Tang Zhizhou's bag.
Tang Zhizhou understood, reached into his backpack and rummaged around, pulling out several power banks. He found a fully charged one and handed it to Lu Ziyin, also giving him a data cable.
Lu Ziyin took the power bank and immediately started charging her phone.
After putting her phone and power bank in the desk drawer, Lu Ziyin rummaged through her backpack and quickly pulled out a small box.
Ding Kemeng was already distracted by Lu Ziyin when she caught a glimpse of Lu Ziyin pulling a small box out of her bag. Ding Kemeng was wondering what it was when the small box was placed in front of her.
"For...for me?" Ding Kemeng lowered her voice, but her surprise was still evident.
Lu Ziyin didn't look at Ding Kemeng, but pushed the small box towards Ding Kemeng again and whispered, "I saw it when I went out over the weekend. It's a snack. Try it." Lu Ziyin hadn't been feeling too good these past few days either. She hadn't gone back to the classroom in a huff that noon, and who knew that she wouldn't see Ding Kemeng for four days in a row afterward.
He had been sitting in his seat for so long this morning, and Ding Kemeng hadn't spoken to him at all, which made Lu Ziyin even more flustered.
Fortunately, Ding Kemeng accepted the snacks, and Lu Ziyin breathed a sigh of relief, continuing, "Don't be angry, I... I didn't mean it that day." It was the first time Lu Ziyin had apologized to a girl, and she was extremely nervous.
"You...I...I'm not angry with you." Ding Kemeng didn't know what to say, she just gripped the small box tightly, her fingertips turning slightly white.
"It's good that you're not angry." Lu Ziyin was also nervous, and murmured to herself before sitting up straight and remaining silent.
Ding Kemeng glanced at him, silently put away the small box, and continued listening to the lesson.
Halfway through the Chinese class, Ding Kemeng had almost finished writing her notes. She raised her head slightly and stretched her neck, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Ziyin again. Sure enough, she had fallen asleep again.
Looking around at the rest of the class, I saw that a large portion of them were also asleep.
Ding Kemeng was exasperated. She always slept in class. Was she really that sleepy?
During the break between classes, the loudspeaker did not sound as usual. Class teacher Zhao Qian walked in with a report card, followed by several students carrying stacks of test papers, which were obviously from the recent exams.
"Alright, quiet down for a moment. Group leaders, please distribute the test papers." Zhao Qian stood in front of the podium and instructed the group leaders to distribute the test papers. "Don't rush after receiving the test papers. Organize all the test papers for your subjects. Then, go to the multi-purpose classroom. Everyone, go and borrow a chair. Your parents will need it when they arrive!"
The group leader distributed the test papers very quickly; several subjects and several test papers were handed out in no time.
Ding Kemeng didn't rush to look at the test paper after receiving it. She quickly organized it and then went with the rest of the group to borrow chairs from the multi-functional classroom.
Lu Ziyin wouldn't let Ding Kemeng carry the chair up the stairs by herself, so he quickly followed her out. Although Ding Kemeng didn't want him to help her carry the chair, Lu Ziyin wouldn't let her. In the end, she couldn't argue with him and had to let Lu Ziyin carry the chair back.
only……
"Lu Ziyin, aren't you going to get a chair for your parents?" Ding Kemeng looked for a long time, and indeed, Lu Ziyin only got one for her, not his own!
"It's alright, just take yours." Lu Ziyin didn't have the time to get a chair for his father, and besides, he didn't think his father would want to go into his son's classroom.
"Are you sure?" Ding Kemeng didn't know what to say. If she didn't get chairs for her parents, would Lu Ziyin make them stand during the parent-teacher meeting?
This isn't a good idea...
"Okay, it's alright, let's go back to the classroom first." Lu Ziyin carried the chair into the classroom and put it down next to Ding Kemeng's seat.
At 10 o'clock, all kinds of luxury cars gathered outside the gate of Xiushui High School. Under the arrangement of more than a dozen security guards, the cars were parked in order, and the parents chatted and laughed as they slowly walked to their children's classrooms.
This was Mr. Ding's first time attending a high school parent-teacher conference. Since he had never been to his daughter's school before, he was still a little confused when he arrived at the school gate.
As Mr. Ding walked through the campus, he kept an eye on the roadside signs, afraid that he might accidentally take the wrong turn.
About ten minutes later, Mr. Ding finally found the classroom of Class 10.
"Dad!" Ding Kemeng spotted her father at a glance and waved to him immediately.
Mr. Ding was also happy. He went into the classroom and sat down next to Ding Kemeng.
"Mengmeng, your new school is really big! It's completely different from the junior high school you used to go to!" After sitting down, Mr. Ding's first words were an exclamation about the size of Xiushui High School.
“Yes, Xiushui is indeed quite large.” Ding Kemeng nodded, agreeing with her father’s opinion.
Mr. Ding looked around the classroom again, scanning it before finally fixing his gaze on the person next to Ding Kemeng.
"Hey kid, you must be my Mengmeng's deskmate, right? What's your name?"
From the moment Ding's father entered the classroom, Lu Ziyin was extremely nervous. Now, hearing Ding's father speak to him, his body stiffened even more, and he involuntarily straightened up. Lu Ziyin turned around and whispered, "Hello, Uncle. I am Meng and Ding Kemeng's deskmate. My name is Lu Ziyin."
"His surname is Lu." Mr. Ding smiled and looked at Lu Ziyin. He was a handsome young man, but when he looked at people with his eyes straight ahead, he could seem a bit "fierce." Their Mengmeng's deskmate was quite interesting!
"Young man, where are your parents? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Mr. Ding looked around Lu Ziyin again and found that there was no one there, not even a chair.
