193 193 The Prodigyâs Notes
Tan Rou smiled and waved at the crowd. She couldnât stand the eager gazes of these people, so she didnât look at the red ranking and turned to walk back to the classroom.
Everyone looked at Tan Rouâs back and couldnât help but sigh. Look, this was a prodigy. She was not affected by flattery or humiliation. She wasnât excited at all. If it were them, they would probably take a hundred pictures with the billboard first, then take it off and run home to set off firecrackers.
Just look at Tan Rou! How calm she is! No wonder she could get such inhuman results!
Tan Rou walked into the classroom, took out a book, and placed it on the table as usual. She flipped through it in boredom.
Xu Yan came over and smiled gently. âCongratulations, Tan Rou. I saw you early in the morning when I came to school. I didnât expect you to be so good at hiding your true colors!â
Tan Rou smiled in embarrassment. âNo, I didnât mean to hide it from you. Thereâs nothing much to say.â
Xu Yan was really happy for Tan Rou and did not think that Tan Rou was deliberately hiding it. After all, Tan Jing and the others had been eyeing her covetously before, so it was good that Tan Rou remained low profile.
Xu Yan still laughed along,âIâm feeling a little guilty being the class monitor. Iâll have to rely on you to help me with my studies in the future.â
Tan Rou blinked playfully. âSure! Iâll tell you everything I know, but you still have to be the class monitor. I have a bad temper, and itâs easy for me to take revenge on others for private matters!â
Xu Yan laughed. âYou!â His eyes were full of admiration.
Li Li shouted from afar, âTan Rou! Heavens! Iâm not dreaming, am I?â
Tan Rou and Xu Yan looked at the door. Li Li was running into the room looking surprised.
Li Li held Tan Rouâs shoulder and looked at her from head to toe in disbelief. âXiao Rou, youâre really good at acting! How did you suddenlyâ¦. Whatâs in your head? Are you an alien?â
Tan Rou looked helpless. âStop shaking me! Iâm a real human!â
Li Li let go of her hand. âYes, yes! I canât shake you like this! Youâre the schoolâs genius now! What if I dazzled you silly and you lost your knowledge?â
Xu Yan laughed too. âIf you can lose your brains by doing so, your results are only such because youâre always jumping around. Theyâve ran away from home!â
Tan Rou covered her mouth and laughed.
Li Li rolled her eyes at Xu Yan. âWell, now youâre making fun of me together, one top student and the other top student. Hey! This isnât fair. Weâre all humans! Why canât I use my brain like you guys?!â
Tan Rou patted Li Li to comfort her. âBut, youâre lively and cheerful. Youâre our happy fruit! It would be perfect if you were a little better at your studies. Besides, your grades arenât that bad. I can secretly tutor you. Itâll definitely work!â
Li Li was satisfied. âFine! I am the happy fruit of the group anyways! Although my grades arenât that good, my friends are geniusesI can brag for a lifetime, okay! In the future, Iâll be walking with my head up in school! Tan Rou, youâre amazing!â
Li Li felt honored, as happy as if she herself was named the top student of the school.
Tan Rou smiled and looked at Li Liâs excited expression as she talked non-stop. Tan Rou also sincerely felt happy.
No matter what had happened, having a friend like Li Li would always be able to lighten the mood in the room. Even if it was a very normal thing for Tan Rou, Li Liâs excitement has caused Tan Rou to feel happy as well.
Xu Yan couldnât stand Li Liâs noise and said helplessly, âYoung miss, you should rest for a while and go study. As Tan Rouâs friend, how can you not make progress?â
Li Li pouted. âI know, class monitor. Iâll try my best to catch up with you two! Well with you two beside me, would it be possible for me to not improve?!â
Tan Rou took out a notebook from her bag and handed it to Li Li. âHere, I wrote it down from memory when I was free. Itâs not anything special, but it should be enough for you.â
Li Li squatted down and took it with both hands. âOh my God! Is this the notes of the prodigy? If this isnât considered something good, I donât know what is! No, I have to hide it. Iâm afraid that those people will be so jealous that they will come to my house in the middle of the night to steal it!â
Tan Rou laughed. âStop joking. Just keep it! If someone else steals it, Iâll write you a better one!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Li chuckled. âTan Rou, youâre so kind. You said that your books were stolen and you didnât want me arguing with them. I knew you would have a way. It turns out that you have the strongest brain and donât care about those books at all!â
Tan Rou nodded. âYeah, I couldâve done well without that book. Itâs just that they put in so much effort, so I cooperated. Thatâs why I was able to catch so many âbig fishesâ during the exam.â
