"Did I hear that right? It really is Lu Ziyin? Lu Ziyin from Class 10?"
"You heard right, I heard it too, Lu Ziyin, it really is him! Lu Ziyin gave Tang Meng a gift!"
The quiet Class 1 suddenly became noisy, and the girls looked at Tang Meng with curiosity and envy.
Tang Meng felt a little pleased with the stares, but she pretended to be puzzled. She deliberately lifted the bag in her hand higher and slowly walked back to her seat.
Tang Meng's movements were small but slow enough. She knew that the girls in her class were envious of her, and she enjoyed those looks. So, she was determined to open this gift in front of the whole class!
Soon, as Tang Meng moved, the girls saw what was in the bag.
Three large boxes of beautifully packaged chocolates! Look at the English label, 【Godiva】! Girls who are good at English would have already recognized it aloud: Godiva chocolate!
Tang Meng rummaged through the bag again and quickly took out several small boxes, all of which were beautifully packaged candies. These things didn't look cheap at all!
Wang Xiaoxiao and Xu Qian, as Tang Meng's best friends, immediately came over.
"Mengmeng, these things must be expensive! Why would Lu Ziyin give you such expensive things? Does he like you?" Wang Xiaoxiao reached out and stroked the chocolate wrapper, her heart already racing! Last week, if it weren't for Tang Zhizhou asking, she would have thought it was Tang Zhizhou who liked Tang Meng. But now it seems that it is actually Lu Ziyin who truly likes Tang Meng!
"Yeah, Mengmeng, how did you and Lu Ziyin meet? He actually gave you such an expensive gift, I'm so envious of you!"
Xu Qian's question was also something all the girls in the class wanted to know: how exactly did Tang Meng get to know Lu Ziyin, and how could the school bully give her such an expensive gift!
Ding Kemeng also noticed the items on Tang Meng's desk; they were indeed expensive. It seemed Lu Ziyin really liked Tang Meng from their class, but she wondered how they had met. That school bully didn't seem like the type to be in a relationship...
"I don't know either. I've only met Lu Ziyin a few times. I didn't expect him to actually..." Tang Meng became a little shy as she spoke. She tightened her grip on the pocket in her hand and quickly opened a box of chocolates. She said gently, "Do you want to try some of these chocolates? I can't eat this much by myself."
"Yes, I want it! I've never had such good chocolate before!" Wang Xiaoxiao's family wasn't particularly wealthy. If it weren't for her good grades, her family wouldn't have agreed to let her attend Xiushui High School.
Her family would never buy her such expensive chocolates, so now that she had the chance to taste them, she certainly wouldn't refuse!
"Here you go." Tang Meng handed the chocolate to Wang Xiaoxiao, her smile widening. "Choose your favorite flavor!"
After saying that, Tang Meng didn't forget Xu Qian, who was standing to the side, and several of her close friends. She picked up the candy on the table and waved to them, saying, "Everyone, come and have a taste. I can't eat this much by myself. Anyway, it's free. You are my good friends, and good things should be shared with friends, right?"
Several girls sitting nearby had wanted to go over and take a look for a while, but they were too shy to go up. Now that Tang Meng had actually invited them, they were naturally happy.
"Tang Meng, you're so kind, so generous, thank you so much!"
Tang Meng smiled and distributed the candies in her hand to everyone in the class one by one. "Don't be shy, everyone, have a taste! These things are all quite delicious!"
When the candy was handed to Ding Kemeng, Tang Meng's smile deepened. "Ding Kemeng, would you like to have a candy too? This brand of candy is delicious, do you want some?"
Ding Kemeng looked up at Tang Meng, who was indeed smiling very gently. Even though the candy had been distributed to the whole class, for some reason, Ding Kemeng had a feeling that Tang Meng was defying her. Thinking this, the candy in front of her suddenly didn't taste so good anymore.
"Thank you, but I don't really like candy, so I won't eat it. You should share it with the other students." Ding Kemeng shook her head, refusing Tang Meng's offer to share.
Wang Xiaoxiao and the others, of course, heard Ding Kemeng's words, and immediately felt uncomfortable...
They all accepted the candy, but Ding Kemeng didn't. What does that mean? Is she implying that they're greedy? Or is she saying that Ding Kemeng's family is rich and she looks down on these candies, and on those of them who eat candy?
"Tch~ What's with the pretense? Hesitating even to eat a candy, what's with all this high-mindedness!"
"What does she look down on? She's disgusting!"
"Exactly! They've been playing dead all day long!"
The girls' chatter was quite loud, and Ding Kemeng, being deaf, certainly heard it! Her expression changed; Ding Kemeng felt a pang of grievance and wanted to retort, but when she met the eyes of her classmates, she gave up. None of these people truly understood her, nor were they truly willing to believe her. Since that was the case, what was the point of her explanation…
Tang Meng, of course, heard the girls' chatter, but that was exactly what she wanted. Why would she help Ding Kemeng refute these people?
"Oh, if you don't like it, that's fine. I'll share it with you later if I have any other delicious food!"
That tone, those words... Tang Meng did this on purpose!
She deliberately twisted her words to make the girls in the class hate her. Why? Why did she do that? Ding Kemeng looked up and met Tang Meng's gaze, a flash of malice in her eyes.
Does Tang Meng hate herself?
“You…” Ding Kemeng wanted to ask for clarification, but Tang Meng suddenly turned to face another person.
"Liu Shuai, do you want some candy? It's really delicious, have one."
Liu Shuai was watching the lively interaction between Tang Meng and Ding Kemeng when Tang Meng suddenly struck up a conversation with him. He was momentarily stunned, and after a moment of hesitation, he nodded and accepted the candy.
After giving Liu Shuai the candy, Tang Meng didn't waste any more time and turned around to continue giving candy to the people next to her. As for Ding Kemeng, she didn't even glance at her again.
She's just a fool who relies on her looks; she's not worth my time at all!
Perhaps it was true, just as the students in the class had guessed, that after Tang Meng received the gift that noon, she would receive a gift from Lu Ziyin every noon thereafter. The gifts were of all kinds, including snacks and jewelry, and without exception, they were all luxury items.
Furthermore, the price of each gift kept increasing, which made everyone feel Lu Ziyin's "affection" for Tang Meng even more!
