Chapter 30
Cheng Xiangheng is a very popular person. He doesn't actually interact with others much, but he maintains basic courtesy and manners, which makes countless men, women, young and old enthusiastic about him.
This is something Ping An could never envy.
She envied Cheng Xiangheng very much. She envied him for being able to learn all the knowledge in junior high school without much effort. He was good-looking and tall, so he pretended to be a high school student to tutor junior high school students to make money, while at the same time he calmly tutored Ping An.
Maybe it was because he had taught too many idiots, so slowly, Cheng Xiangheng began to understand Ping An's thinking and taught her how to study. Ping An's grades improved a lot.
Ping An also worked hard, and finally, with his decent grades, he was admitted to the same public high school as Cheng Xiangheng.
She was in Class 48 and he was in the Tsinghua and Peking University classes, with nearly 2,500 students between them.
Sometimes Ping An also thought that no matter whether Cheng Xiangheng's family was broken up or not, he would always be the most outstanding person among the crowd. He was born as the moon, so it was natural for him to be surrounded by stars.
The study life in high school was heavy and boring, but Cheng Xiangheng was good at it. He began to pretend to be a college student to tutor high school students. The tuition fees he received were increasing. The meals at home became more and more abundant. Ping'an could eat meat at every meal, and her clothes became more and more varied. He took care of her and she became fair and tender, and her body also became taller and thinner.
She shed her ugly duckling self and turned into a very beautiful little girl. After deducting the cost of food, she had five dollars of pocket money every day.
Maybe Ping'an really has no talent for learning. After she bent down to pick up a pen in a math class in her first year of high school, she never understood anything again. She didn't dare tell Cheng Xiangheng about this.
Cheng Xiangheng has been acting very abnormal recently. He asks her to get up at 5:30 to memorize English words, and study grammar until nearly 11 o'clock at night. If she can't memorize the words, he will punish her by making her drink milk. Ping An hates milk the most!
If he knew that she didn’t learn math well, I don’t know how to punish her!
Ping An wasn't deliberately not studying hard. She simply couldn't understand what was being said. The formulas and vocabulary were like astronomy, completely incomprehensible. Before she could even understand a single word, other students had already memorized it, leaving her completely behind in her studies.
Ping'an was upset by this matter, but her attention was soon diverted because someone sent her a love letter.
Ping'an had never received a love letter before, so she hid it in her schoolbag as soon as she found it.
The love letter was like a hot potato. She secretly took it out and read it. The content inside made her face turn red. She didn't know what to do with the love letter. She was uneasy all day until Cheng Xiangheng came to pick her up home in the evening.
Cheng Xiangheng enrolled her in an evening self-study class at school. The get out of class ended at 9:30. He had just finished tutoring someone outside and came to pick her up.
Young students are very sensitive to certain emotions, but in the case of Ping An and Cheng Xiangheng, no one suspected it.
Cheng Xiangheng is so outstanding, so outstanding to the point of being dazzling. Even though he is only in the first year of high school, he has already won several gold medals in competitions on behalf of the school, and he is even more eye-catching when he gives speeches on stage.
He is thin and neat, and when he walks through the campus in a clean school uniform, he will attract a lot of people's attention.
As for Zhou Ping'an, he was so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary. Although his face was prettier than that of ordinary people, he was useless in other aspects. In addition, Ping'an told everyone that Cheng Xiangheng was her blood cousin, so no one paid much attention to their situation.
Today, Ping An sat in Cheng Xiangheng's car, feeling both excited and panicked.
Cheng Xiangheng lowered his eyes and looked at her, riding his bike slowly: "The final exam is in two days, are you ready?"
Ping'an's face turned bitter in an instant, there was nothing at all.
Cheng Xiangheng noticed that Ping An, intentionally or not, hugged his schoolbag tightly, but he didn't say anything. In the past two years, Cheng Xiangheng had become increasingly silent, rarely speaking in class. Apart from tutoring students and communicating with Ping An, he had little desire to speak.
Like being out of this world.
Ping An knew about Cheng Xiangheng's condition and was afraid that he might have some psychological problems, so he often talked to him about many things.
But today was different. Ping An swung his legs and began to daydream.
The man who wrote the love letter to her was the best-looking boy in the next class. He was lively and could joke with the teacher. He had a lot of friends and everyone said he was a great guy. Many girls liked him, and Ping An envied his personality.
She didn't expect that he would write her a love letter, even though she and he had nothing in common.
Ping An blushed terribly when he thought of the contents of the letter. He had actually praised her as a lilac blooming silently in the darkness. Every time he laid his eyes on her, his heart pounded...
Ping'an felt her heart pounding. Usually she had to put a lot of effort into studying, so she had little time for socializing. No one in the class paid attention to her, and she only had one or two friends. Suddenly, she was being noticed, and she couldn't help but get excited. Could this be the feeling of being in love?
Ping An ate happily and took a bath happily. Even when she sat next to Cheng Xiangheng to study, she did not show any reluctance.
After Cheng Xiangheng finished a question, he looked up at Ping An. She didn't notice his gaze and was still smiling foolishly.
Cheng Xiangheng's eyes fell on Ping'an's schoolbag.
Her schoolbag was white, and he would wash it every few days. The white schoolbags of the girls in the class were not as clean as Ping An's. She also saved money to buy two teddy bear pendants, one for her white schoolbag and one for Cheng Xiangheng's black schoolbag.
Cheng Xiangheng's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and he suddenly smiled at Ping An. He was extremely handsome. When he smiled, his eyebrows curved, his lips were red, his teeth were white, and he was so beautiful that you couldn't take your eyes off him.
Ping An didn't understand what was going on and blinked. She felt that Cheng Xiangheng didn't seem to be in a very good mood.
She immediately stood up and massaged Cheng Xiangheng's shoulders: "What's wrong, brother? Are you too tired from tutoring? Can I pour you a glass of water?"
When Ping An is joking, he likes to call Cheng Xiangheng brother.
Cheng Xiangheng asked, "Does An An have someone he likes recently?"
Ping An was startled. Under his gaze, sweat broke out on her forehead: "No, no."
Cheng Xiangheng chuckled and lowered his head. Ping An couldn't see the expression on his face, but could only hear his voice: "If there's someone you like, be sure to tell me. I can give you an extra five yuan in pocket money as your dating expenses."
In an instant, countless celebrity posters flashed through Ping An's mind, and she even wanted to claim the five dollars directly!
But Ping An still has a conscience. She knows how hard it is for Cheng Xiangheng, a high school student, to make money, and she doesn't want him to work too hard.
"Really not," Ping An sat down on the bed. Cheng Xiangheng took the initiative to bring it up, even encouraging her to fall in love. His open-minded attitude actually calmed her throbbing heart. "Look, someone did pass me a love letter, but I don't have any feelings for them at all."
Cheng Xiangheng's gaze fell on the pink love letter, and his pupils shrank slightly. Then, he saw Ping An solemnly put the love letter under the table mat, and a hint of gloom quickly flashed across his face.
"But at least this is the first time someone says they like me. I still think it's quite novel."
Ping'an turned around and made her bed. She had already finished her homework at school today, so she could go to bed early.
"Have you finished your homework? Go to bed." Ping'an crawled into the quilt and patted the empty space next to her. Her expression was clean and innocent, just like when she put the love letter under the desk mat just now.
Baisui lay in the doghouse beside the bed, looking at Cheng Xiangheng with his small eyes, waiting for him to sleep together.
Cheng Xiangheng paused, then turned off the lights.
Cheng Xiangheng already had the money to buy a new bed, but he didn't want to. He just wanted to sleep in the same bed with Ping An. Only when he heard the sound of gentle breathing beside his ears and thought of the person he cared about most was by his side, could he fall into a deep sleep.
Oh, and there’s also the occasional snoring from Baisui.
This selfishness made him deliberately ignore the gender differences between him and Ping An, and also prevented Ping An from receiving a good education on gender awareness.
He had to find a way to let her know that he was different from others. The relationship between Cheng Xiangheng and Ping An was different from Ping An's feelings. The two of them would not tolerate outsiders interfering.
Cheng Xiangheng looked at Ping An in the darkness without blinking.
