Chapter 8, I am your cousin.

Indeed. Sister, I was worried that you might not remember me.

What about the others

The last winter vacation of high school is coming to an end, and the students have to return to school to study once again. After a two-week break, the spirits of the senior students have greatly recovered, likely due to good meals at home and ample rest.

Li Zhixing said: "How did you find him?"

A little girl on the other side asked Gong Peihao, "Peihao, why did you only come now?"

Tang Mi felt an unprecedented calmness. That night, she had a dream in which Xiao Lang called her, saying he wanted to go back with her to visit their grandmother. The two of them took a bus and traveled on, encountering many events along the way. The vehicle broke down, the road was destroyed, and the bridge was broken, making it impossible to reach Tangjia Village. In her anxiety, she suddenly opened her eyes and woke up, turning over her phone on the pillow to see that it was a new day.

"Why are you asking me this? You are making me quite confused. If you have something to say, just say it." Tang Minglang quickly became displeased, "I am only talking to you out of respect for my cousin."

She was silent for a moment, then said: "This is one time, that is another. Let Tang Minglang meet grandmother; I don't think it is a very difficult matter."

Tang Minglang suddenly realized: "Oh, right! How could I have not thought of this matter? I must have been deceived by her"

Tang Mi hesitated, furrowing her brow as she looked at Gong Peihao

Gong Peihao smiled and said, "I was wondering if I would run into you when I came here today, and I didn't expect to actually meet you. Sister, we are truly fated to meet."

Shefmi thought for a moment and slowly replied: "Caesar, does it refer to clarity?"

Gong Peihao took the note from his hand and glanced at it. Besides the numbers, it also had her name, Tang Mi. He keenly pointed out the inconsistency in his conversation: "This is not right, she has the surname Tang, how could she be your cousin? Saying she is your paternal cousin would be a bit more believable."

She said just a few words and then left. Do you think this is strange? It was still Gong Peihao who reminded me; she said she is my cousin, but she has the same surname as me. I thought she was your classmate, so I called to ask you.

Just a single sentence caused Tang Mi to lose all color in her face, leaving her pale as death

"He said nothing at all," Principal Wang shook his head, "only that he wanted to see her"

After a while, Gong Peihao pinched his chin and said, "I told you, I don't think she is a person who would lie. This is something that can be easily found out with just a question; she wouldn't gain anything by lying. But your cousin seems completely unfazed; he appears to have known all along that she is your cousin."

Li Ruqin sneered, "Today is to visit grandmother, tomorrow you will slander me in front of Xiao Lang, and the day after tomorrow you will come to ask me for money. I am not unaware of your tricks, am I?"

"Sister, it seems you truly come from a primitive society," Gong Peihao remarked, "Qinghu City is a villa area located in the northern ring of the city, adjacent to the well-known Qinghu Lake, and it is very beautiful"

Tang Mi hesitated for a long time before finally taking a seat

Well, I think so too

It's nothing, please have a seat

After being coldly hung up on by Li Zhixing, Tang Minglang looked at his phone, rarely falling into deep thought.

She looked around and said, "Why isn't Tang Minglang here?"

Tang Minglang hurriedly ran to the aisle beside the audience, looking quite exhausted from the recent competition

Li Ruqin did not call her by name, but coldly said: "Did you go to see Minglang a few days ago?"

In the conference room, there are two individuals: a middle-aged lady who is already seated in a chair, and behind her stands a young woman dressed in professional attire, likely her secretary or assistant

Tang Mi gave a wry smile and said, "You really have a lot of demands."

Tang Mi was quite puzzled: "Do you all enjoy playing games?"

Actually, we are fine; the things in the arcade are not very interesting, they are too outdated. Gong Peihao said, "The reason we came here today is that Minglang has a competition."

After the start of the new semester, the second round of review begins. Unlike the first round, the second round has essentially entered the stages of "practice" and "intensive practice." A mountain of examination papers has been distributed, and the senior students at Xuan Zhong quickly enter a state of fervor.

I went to Yanjing and celebrated the festival with my grandparents

This characteristic quickly reminded Tang Mi: "It is you, Tang Minglang's classmate, named Gong Peihao"

However, her relationship with you is only that much. As for what she said about your grandmother, whether you want to follow it or not, you can decide for yourself. " Li Zhixing paused, "But whatever conclusion you come to, you should inform her.

There is Tangjia Village in Jiatai County, where the mountains are clear and the waters are beautiful, truly stunning. Tang Mi took a note out of her pocket and handed it to him, "Minglang, this is my phone number. If you ever want to visit your grandmother, give me a call, and I will take you back."

The next day, as soon as class started, Li Zhixing approached her and asked, "Did you go to see Xiao Lang over the weekend?"

Indeed, who else could it be? This name is quite imposing, isn't it

Li Zhixing and * Tu * Book were taken aback: "What does she want from you?"

Tang Minglang is tall and slender, with long limbs. The fitted jeans cling to his legs, making his long legs particularly striking. His dance movements are quite beautiful, crisp and decisive, in perfect harmony with the rhythm. It is no wonder that the audience's emotions were stirred up—like adding a spoonful of oil to boiling water, it erupted, and they all shouted in unison, "Caesar did well!" Ten minutes later, Tang Minglang finally stepped off the stage after misstepping a move, but he had already performed the longest.

Tang Mi did not expect that her seeking out Tang Minglang would reach Li Zhixing's ears so quickly, and she could only admit that it was true

Bet?

Oh, it is that sister with beautiful skin

Grandma never said that

Gong Peihao said: "It's fun, isn't it"

Tang Mi said: "No problem"

Where did you go this Spring Festival?

"Wait, wait, wait." Gong Peihao did not expect her to turn around and leave, giving him no opportunity to respond at all. He became anxious and stepped forward to grab her clothing, saying, "Sister, please don't be in such a hurry to leave. You haven't even heard everything I have to say yet."

You just need to wait a moment

She replied: "I have thought of that too, it is not a problem. There is nothing that cannot be spoken of to others"

During the weekend, she rarely left the school and planned to go to the barbershop next to the school to cut her excessively long hair, but was deterred by the astonishing prices. Therefore, she decided to find a time to cut her hair herself.

Her voice lowered as she watched Tang Mi push open the door and enter the conference room

The arcade is located on the first floor of a large commercial plaza in Xuanzhou City, bustling with people. Tang Mi felt that the dazzling lights were almost blinding, and the deafening music made it nearly impossible for her to hear anything clearly. A crowd of young people gathered around various strange machines, with voices and cheers rising and falling in a lively manner.

She looked at Tang Minglang

Sister, you wouldn't want to go to Tang Minglang's house, would you? That's impossible. The management in Qinghu City is extremely strict; the property management does not allow ordinary people to enter at all, and each household has walls and iron gates.

"Your father is my uncle. My mother and your father are biological siblings, so I am your cousin," Tang Mi said slowly, staring into his eyes. "I am not bringing this up to ask you for anything; I simply hope that when you have the time, you can go visit your grandmother. Your grandmother is also my maternal grandmother, and you have hardly seen her in over a decade. She misses you very much"

"Seizing opportunities is my style." Gong Peihao leaned in, gazing at her face, "Sister, are you infatuated with Tang Minglang at first sight? Do you really like him?"

Tang Mi let out a silent sigh; she suddenly felt that with Tang Minglang's intelligence, he would likely never understand the issue if it were not stated directly and clearly.

For example, your grandmother

Tang Minglang and Gong Peihao stared at each other in silence, unable to utter a single word

Is that all? What else did she say to you?

When did Grandma ever scold Aunt? Tang Mi was somewhat stunned, as she had no recollection of it at all

Tang Minglang thought for a moment: "There is nothing wrong with that. I have never been to the countryside before. It must be quite fun, right?"

This was their first conversation. Tang Mi was carefully choosing her words in her heart, trying not to surprise him too much. However, Tang Minglang spoke first, his expression quite serious. "Let me make this clear: I do not like women who are older than me. If you were a few years younger, I might consider it. In any case, you should give up sooner rather than later"

How would I know? At that time, I didn't notice anything.

"Indeed not," Gong Peihao sighed, "I am also quite troubled; when I am with him, I am often treated like a transparent person"

As he watched Tang Mi's departing figure, Tang Minglang had not yet reacted, pondering for a moment until Gong Peihao gave him a pat.

Wasting precious study time watching this strange dance, she began to doubt whether she had taken the wrong medication or if her brain had been rewritten by aliens. However, since she was already there, she had no choice but to endure it with a stiff upper lip. Fortunately, after just a few minutes, the competition began.

She had not read a few pages of the book when she heard someone calling her

College Entrance Examination essay

Children nowadays seem to expect benefits right away, which makes Tang Mi feel troubled, and she lightly furrows her brow: "Then forget it"

Since it was a rare opportunity to leave school, she thought about replenishing her stationery and went to a large student supplies store nearby. In addition to stationery, this store also had a considerable number of supplementary educational books. After purchasing a few boxes of pen refills, she casually browsed through the books.

How surprising... At this moment, Tang Minglang was truly taken aback. He looked up and down at this girl he had only seen twice, "My cousin is still in the United States, so where did your cousin come from?"

Gong Peihao smiled and, in the dim light, took out a small booklet from somewhere and handed it to her: "Tang Minglang's sixth appearance"

He will definitely tell his aunt about this matter

"Why is it inconvenient? We can just wear a pair of pants." Gong Peihao subtly paused before continuing, "However..."

However, without Ye Yichao by her side, morning runs seemed to have become monotonous. Although when she and Ye Yichao ran together in the past, it was also quite quiet, after all, they saw each other every day and did not have much to talk about, at most discussing the direction of their studies. Nevertheless, having someone accompany her made the experience completely different from running alone. Occasionally, when she saw other tall boys running on the playground, she would even have the illusion that it was Ye Yichao.

You have indeed thought this through. However, there is one point you have not considered: have you thought about the potential repercussions of your rash decision to approach Xiao Lang?

She sighed with difficulty and said, "Well then."

Tang Minglang said: "What does 'relatives on my father's side' refer to?"

During the New Year, my grandmother said she misses Xiao Lang very much... I want to give it a try

Gong Peihao sighed and patted Tang Minglang on the head: "You know, she is in the same class as your cousin, and it seems they have a good relationship. Perhaps your cousin knows. Why don't you just call and ask him?"

Cousin, why are you not speaking

There is none, Teacher He

Gong Peihao pointed at Tang Mi and said, "The beautiful sister said she wanted to see you, so I brought her to find you."

The last time I saw her was two or three years ago when I had just started high school in Xuanzhou. Compared to that time, she has hardly changed at all. It is to be expected, as with health supplements and cosmetics applied to the face, how could one possibly discern any differences? She was wearing a white professional suit, with not much embellishment on her body, holding a small black leather bag with gold accents in her hand, sitting upright in her chair, resembling a queen.

The two individuals walked into the safe passage, where it was much quieter

Tang Mi's long eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly as she lifted her gaze to look at her

"Are you silly?" Gong Peihao laughed and said, "The beautiful girl you were with last year, she is your cousin's classmate."

Tang Mi said: "I don't know if you have ever wondered why your father never takes you to see your grandmother"

Gong Peihao smiled and said, "I had something to attend to, so I was a bit late."

At the beginning of this semester, Tang Mi's other aspects of life also underwent some changes. For instance, Ye Yichao no longer resides on campus and is unable to join her for morning runs. He regretfully informed Tang Mi of this news

That is indeed quite strange

Gong Peihao remarked: "Your cousin is truly unfathomable"

I happened to run into his classmate, Gong Peihao, who took me there

Teacher He murmured softly: "Actually, if you want to find Tang Mi, you can just call me directly. There's no need to come to you, which has caused you trouble."

"Are you going to talk to me about karma? I've seen plenty of that over the years," Li Ruqin said coldly. "I think you should reflect on yourself. What evil deeds have you committed? Did you cause your father's death even before you were born? You probably haven't even seen what your biological father looks like, have you?"

The two individuals, a teacher and a student, arrived at the principal's office. Tang Mi had met the principal before, and the principal only briefed them on the situation before leading Tang Mi to the conference room, reminding her a few times: "I have asked your aunt to wait for you in the conference room"

Hmm?

It will be ready shortly. Come out with me.

Li Ruqin was greatly enraged, suddenly rising from her seat and staring at her: "In any case, I warn you, do not appear in Minglang's presence again."

Your grandmother certainly has quite a dislike for me, and will she still think about the children I have given birth to

Tang Mi has never been to places like game halls in his entire life

She suddenly remembered something and asked him: "Do you know where Tang Minglang's home is?"

There has never been much to say with this aunt, Tang Mi calmly spoke: "I just want Ming Lang to go back and see Grandma, she misses him very much"

Upon hearing this, Li Ruqin withdrew her hand, regaining the composure she had just exhibited.

Oh, it really is.

The voice on the other end of the phone noticeably became serious, even someone as thick-skinned as Tang Minglang was taken aback: "I, I didn't do anything, she said she is my cousin."

Tang Minglang stroked his chin and said, "Hmm... I see..."

Then, I will have to seek your guidance this semester

As she reached the door, Li Ruqin turned her head to glance at her again: "I know that Zhixing is in the same class as you, but before you try to seduce him, you should be clear about your own identity. He is the grandson of the Li family, the only son of my second brother. Don't think that you can truly rise to the top and become a phoenix."

Li Ruqin's voice was filled with deep disdain: "You want to think about it without even having seen the face?"

Teacher He led her towards the principal's office, explaining the reason: "Tang Mi, your aunt has come to the school and said she wants to see you. The principal was at a loss and had no choice but to ask me to call you."

After a long delay, the call was finally answered, and Li Zhixing's languid voice came through on the other end of the line

Tang Mi showed him the title of the book and then placed it back on the bookshelf

Sister, what book are you reading

I have thought about it. "Tang Mi said, "I naturally hope that Minglang will contact me and accompany me to visit my grandmother, but if he does not reach out, I can accept that. I have done what I can. If he remains indifferent after hearing my words, then letting him see my grandmother will not bring any good.

Please show me your phone number

Tang Mi continued, "There is one thing I am very curious about. If you are unfilial to your parents-in-law, do you not worry that Tang Minglang will one day be unfilial to you?"

Sister, your essay is not very good

Like before, Tang Mi gets up every day before 6:00 AM, then recites English, goes for a morning run, and memorizes texts. There are four classes in the morning and four in the afternoon, followed by three evening study sessions. In addition, Tang Mi seizes every minute to read. There are certainly many uncertainties before the college entrance examination, and only by leaving no gaps in knowledge can one minimize mistakes as much as possible

I know, but..." Gong Peihao smiled slyly and said, "What's wrong? Are you looking for him, sister? I can't just give you the information without any benefits for myself.

"My grandmother," he pondered deeply, "my dad mentioned her a few times, saying she is in the countryside."

Gong Peihao smiled and said, "How is it?"

Tang Minglang looked at Tang Mi and said, "Why do I feel like you look a bit familiar?"

Gong Peihao did not provide any further explanation and pointed to the stage: "He is coming out. Watch closely, he is quite good and will definitely win."

My mother said that my grandmother lives in a very remote countryside, and there is nothing much to see. Having my maternal grandfather and grandmother is enough for me

The girl glanced at Tang Mi and suddenly realized, letting out an "Oh".

The monotony and repetition of academic life make time pass so swiftly, just like her hair, which has unknowingly grown past her shoulders. She usually does not like to look in the mirror, and there is no mirror in her dormitory. Occasionally, when she takes Ding Xiaoxiao's mirror to have a look, she realizes that her hair has grown too long.

Li Zhixing said slowly: "From a blood relationship perspective, she is not wrong."

Tang Mi furrowed her brows slightly, wanting to refute, but soon felt it was pointless. No matter how many times she spoke, her aunt would not listen to a single word. Discussing with a woman like her aunt was akin to conversing with a stone in a latrine; there was no possibility of communication, and every word she uttered was utterly foul.

At his level, it is actually unnecessary—yet Tang Mi did not voice this, she nodded: "Mutual care."

Her tone was filled with concern: "You haven't done anything, have you?"

It is evident that Tang Minglang holds a great deal of respect for Li Zhixing. If he were to ask Tang Minglang to visit his grandmother, Tang Minglang would most likely comply, which would be far more effective than her saying it ten or a hundred times. However, this is ultimately a matter concerning her family and has nothing to do with Li Zhixing. She has no need to involve him.

On Sunday morning, the shops outside the school were relatively quiet, making the appearance of the boy particularly noticeable—he was wearing a hooded jacket, with torn jeans on his legs, and a silver chain hanging around his neck, with a prominent square pendant below the chain

She was very confused: "Why does Tang Minglang want to participate in this kind of competition?"

Tang Minglang curled his lips, clearly unconvinced: "Then why did you call me out?"

That kind of iceberg beauty, it would be quite a sense of achievement if one could win her over. Gong Peihao said with a smile, you don't like older women, but I quite like them.

Li Zhixing paused slightly and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Li Ruqin raised her hand as if to slap, but halfway through the motion, she suddenly remembered that this was school and stopped.

Li Zhixing is not here. Tang Mi said seriously, "There is a matter I would like to discuss with you privately."

She believes that her cousin has merely inherited her uncle's good genes, and while he is fairly good-looking, apart from that, he is completely a spoiled rich kid. What qualities does he possess that are worthy of so many girls' affection? These girls must have some sort of problem with their judgment.

Tang Mi felt as if she had heard a tale from the Arabian Nights: "Many girls fall in love with him at first sight?"

Li Zhixing's prophecy soon came true, arriving suddenly and catching Tang Mi off guard

He was very satisfied with her answer, and Gong Peihao nodded with a smile; "Let's go, he is at the arcade, I will take you to find him"

Tang Mi slowed down her speech

She raised her gaze and saw a boy walking into the bookstore, smiling as he greeted her: "Sister, I didn't expect to run into you here, what a coincidence"

For teenagers around the age of fifteen or sixteen, the term "fun" is likely a very persuasive word

Tang Mi met her gaze and slowly said: "Otherwise, what do you intend to do?"

Tang Minglang, have you ever met any relatives from your father's side as you have grown up?

Tang Mi looked around calmly and asked, "Is there still a match in the game?"

"You look down on me for being a country bumpkin, yet you yourself married a country bumpkin," Tang Mi said, "Aunt, I find this quite amusing"

"Sister, you are indeed extraordinary!" Gong Peihao said with admiration, "I have seen too many girls fall in love with him at first sight, which inevitably makes me a bit cautious."

The female secretary did not speak a word from beginning to end; she respectfully opened the door, allowing Li Ruqin to walk out.

You did not hear when your grandmother scolded me

Tang Mi fell silent for a moment: "Elderly people are always like this, missing their grandchildren, even if they have not seen them many times."

I said, is that all you have to say?

Tang Minglang expressed his dissatisfaction: "Cousin, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

Gong Peihao looked at her for a moment and laughed, saying: "I was just teasing you, sister. Tang Minglang's home is in Qinghu City"

Looking at the countdown board displayed by the school, all the senior students were lamenting. Tang Mi, who was usually calm, also began to feel a sense of crisis at this moment

Tang Mi said, "Has he finished? When can I see him?"

"Very good," she said sincerely

A few months ago, your cousin brought her over to have coffee with us. What does that mean? Did he know at that time or was it afterwards?

Sister Tang Mi

Tang Mi turned around to look at the dense crowd and frowned, saying: "I can stand here just fine"

During the winter break, Li Zhixing indeed completed all the assignments she had given. Tang Mi glanced at them and found no mistakes, which was not surprising, as Li Zhixing had always had a strong grasp of mathematics

Gong Peihao was taken aback, experiencing a greater shock than Tang Minglang: "When did you get another cousin?"

What are you doing here

Is this convenient

Tang Mi closed the door of the conference room and looked expressionlessly at her aunt, Ms. Li Ruqin

So, sister, do you want to meet Tang Minglang? That's quite simple, I will take you to find him

I don't know either, she said she is my father's sister's child... she even gave me her phone number. " Tang Minglang nodded, " It feels quite strange.

What do you mean by "subsequent reactions"?

Teacher He asked: "Principal Wang, did Tang Mi's aunt say anything?"

She has left

Gong Peihao expressed his dissatisfaction: "Hey, why did you let her go? I finally managed to get her to come out."

It turns out that his previous inquiries about Xuan Zhong were not entirely just an excuse to talk to her. Tang Mi thought of this and said: "That's quite good"

At this moment, her disdainful gaze was clearly written in her eyes

At this time of year, she would either be doing laundry in the dormitory or studying in the classroom, making the likelihood of encountering him virtually nonexistent. Tang Mi truly admired his ability to be so familiar with others, yet since she believed in not striking a smiling face, she could only say: "What a coincidence"

What if he ignores you

Tang Mi finally saw the "busiest" place, which was a platform elevated thirty centimeters above the ground, with a banner hanging in front that displayed the name of the competition. "E Dance Competition Finals". Hundreds, if not thousands, of spectators were crowded beneath the platform, each holding their phones and cameras, frantically taking pictures, resembling a pot of porridge about to boil in a sea of people.

Tang Mi then remembered that the girl was the one who had dinner with Tang Minglang last time. Her makeup today was indeed too heavy, making her look much more mature, to the extent that he could not recognize her at first.

What is Qinghu City?

I came to Xuan Zhong to observe the environment and compare several schools in the urban area, so that I can make a decision on which high school to attend

Grandmother would definitely not be pleased to know that her grandson is popular with girls

Tang Minglang did not pick up on his words, turned around and said: "Isn't it strange? She said she is my cousin."

Why are you only thinking of looking for him now

The human eye is indeed the window to the soul. She was born into poverty, orphaned at a young age, and thus carried a heavy heart. However, after much contemplation, her thoughts revolved solely around striving for success and studying diligently, while in other matters, she was far more innocent than her peers. Whatever she thought was always clearly reflected in her pair of cold, water-like eyes

Oh, I remember now!" Tang Minglang suddenly realized, excitedly looking around in search of someone, "Are you the only one here today? Has my cousin arrived? Has he seen me?"

I have been to their house, which is a very beautiful large house, and it even has a swimming pool. However, we didn't play for long before we were scared away by his mother. Tang Minglang's mother is quite intimidating, her gaze is fierce, and she is very strict with him. Seeing us play, she looked like she wanted to give us a good beating. So, we left in a dejected manner

"Sigh, I know you won't do anything either..." Teacher He patted her shoulder, "Let's go."

Gong Peihao finally understood that his communication with her was akin to seeking fish up a tree, and he compromised

Not even two days had passed when, during her physics class, she was called out of the classroom by the class teacher, Mr. He. In an instant, everyone in the classroom turned to stare at her, wondering if she had committed some serious offense

Tang Minglang was astonished: "Oh, oh, oh, is it really true? I actually have a cousin!"

Are you not speaking? Feeling guilty?

I never expected this... she murmured, her emotions particularly complex

Then I will tell you now, your grandmother really wants to see you, are you willing to go visit her

Gong Peihao once again pressed his forehead and said, "Sister, you are truly strange. Haven't you noticed that the girls are all in an uproar?"

Li Zhixing fell silent for a moment

Tang Mi has finally figured out what is going on: "Ah, he wants to dance this E dance?"

She is truly superficial; her understanding of competitions is limited to knowledge-based contests and sports competitions. Is there really a competition for games? This world is indeed full of wonders

It seems quite impressive

Fortunately, she was already accustomed to being alone; after the initial discomfort, she became accustomed to it once again

The fifteen-year-old boy is truly full of energy and very enthusiastic. Gong Peihao incessantly engages her in conversation, his mouth never pausing for a moment. Tang Mi feels a bit of a headache and has tried several times to send him away, but has not succeeded. As she walks towards the school, he follows closely beside her, never leaving her side.

"Clear. " Tang Mi said with difficulty, "I am your cousin."

Oh

A very ordinary yet unguarded statement made Tang Mi's eyes suddenly feel a sting. The elderly women from the impoverished rural areas, perhaps cannot be compared to Tang Minglang's high-ranking and powerful grandparents, and are not even sufficient to be weighed on the same scale.

Tang Mi let out a soft "oh"

Tang Mi immediately declined: "No need."

What scheme are you up to this time

Since graduating from university, Teacher He has been teaching for ten years, and it is rare to see a student's family member come to the school to look for someone without any prior notice. In today's society, with communication being so advanced, at the very least, one would first make a phone call to the class teacher to inquire about the situation. As the class teacher, Teacher He is quite aware of Tang Mi's family circumstances and knows the identity of her uncle.

"How could you think that?" Tang Mi was taken aback, "How could I possibly like him?"

Tang Mi has always had a good memory, which can be considered one of her significant strengths

He added, "Of course, it is also for the sake of a bet"

Um ... ...

I thought for a moment, she didn't say anything else, and she also mentioned that I have a grandmother in the countryside, asking me if I would like to visit her.

I have no money and cannot offer you any benefits

Li Zhixing ignored his complaint: "What is it?"

Indeed, what else would I bring you to see

This year's Spring Festival came too late, and thus the senior high school students realized that shortly after returning to school, they had not yet extricated themselves from the lively atmosphere of the winter vacation, nor had they entered the review state for their final year. They were suddenly confronted with the fact that there were only one hundred days left until the college entrance examination

This is indeed a solution, I will make the call now

Two individuals exited the school gate. Gong Peihao waved to hail a taxi, and before Tang Mi could suggest taking the bus, she was already pushed into the vehicle by him. By the time she realized what had happened, the car had already started and was heading towards their destination.

Although there were many people, Gong Peihao was completely unconcerned about the density of the crowd. He led Tang Mi through the throng and directly to the front row. It was only then that Tang Mi noticed there were actually several rows of seats at the very front. The first row seemed to be for the judges, and there were still empty seats in the second row. Gong Peihao jumped over the makeshift barrier and, as if no one was around, found a seat in the second row for himself and gestured for Tang Mi to sit down as well. Their actions caused a commotion among the crowded people behind them, which was quickly suppressed by the security personnel.

Tang Mi nodded thoughtfully

Her serious demeanor took Gong Peihao by surprise, but he couldn't help but laugh: "Who wants your money? I don't care for it. Sister, do you have time to stroll around the school with me?"

That may not necessarily be the case; she is not the kind of person who would lie

What do you need from me

You must answer me a question

She turned and left

"Sister, there are too many things you don't know; it seems I really need to give you some lessons." At this point, Gong Peihao also realized that Tang Mi was indeed a primitive human who only knew how to study, and he patiently explained, "The most lively place over there is the dance competition."

Although Tang Mi never understood what the E dance competition was, after watching for a while, she finally grasped a bit of the concept. Amidst the loud music, participants followed the prompts on the screen to perform dance moves. The one who could persist the longest without making mistakes and execute the moves in the most graceful and appealing manner would emerge victorious

Tang Mi let out a soft "oh"

Good, thank you, Principal

Tang Mi lowered her gaze

I do not like you, so there is no need for you to overthink it

Cousin, that female classmate of yours, Tang Mi, just came to find me

What are you daydreaming about, where is the beautiful sister

Her gaze ignited a fire in Li Ruqin's heart, and she coldly laughed, "A country bumpkin dares to challenge me?"

Li Zhixing asked with a smile, "Do I count as a good student?"
