Liang Lu leaned against the staircase and thought for a while. She took her school uniform off the handrail and led her friends out of the school. âLetâs go to the internet cafe to play games.â
On the way, they met Tan Rou, whom they hadnât seen for a while. Tan Rou was holding two physics competition exercise books in her hands. They looked new.
Liang Lu took the initiative to greet her. âI heard that thereâs going to be a physics competition selection test soon. Are you going to participate in it?â
Tan Rou smiled and looked at her. âIf I wasnât planning on it, am I going to use it as a cushion?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
!!
Liang Luâs face was a little embarrassed. âHow did you know that I used a book as a cushion?â
Tan Rou smiled and said, âI was just saying it casually. Besides, itâs normal to use a book as a cushion for the table. When the table is uneven, I will use a book to cushion it.â
âAre all good students as strange as you?â Liang Lu couldnât help but ask.
âThose who work hard are all good students.â Tan Rou gave a casual reply.
Liang Lu pursed her lips. âIâm not a good student. I smoke, drink, fight, and Iâm a famous big shot on the schoolâs demerit list.â
âWhat does it have to do with me?â Tan Rou retorted. âThatâs your own choice. If you want to study hard, then study hard. If you want to smoke, drink, and fight, then go ahead.â
âWhat do you think is the difference between a good student and a bad student?â Liang Lu suddenly asked.
âI donât think thereâs a difference between a good student and a bad student. Thereâs only a difference between those who want and do not want to learn.â
âLetâs be friends, Tan Rou.â Liang Lu stretched out her hand. âI like the way you talk.â
âSure, but I want to see you make some progress.â Tan Rou said, âYouâve already experienced smoking, drinking, and fighting. Why donât you try something else?â
Liang Lu snorted. âWhat else can I do? Iâll always be on the demerit list.â
âI was there once.â Tan Rou said, âNow Iâve come to my senses and studied hard. Fighting is temporary but a beautiful future is forever.â
âItâs a little ridiculous.â Liang Lu didnât think that someone like her could achieve any good results.
âArenât I the best example?â Tan Rou took out a test paper from the exercise book. âLiang Lu, if you can pass this set of test papers with your own ability, weâll be good friends.â
Liang Lu held the test paper as if it was poisonous. âI⦠I didnât even score 20 points on this test paper.â
âI only scored five points in this paper the last time.â Tan Rou was referring to her previous results. âHavenât I improved?â
âI have high hopes for you.â Tan Rou smiled. âGood luck!â
Liang Luâs heart thumped. She agreed, âOkay, Iâll listen to you.â
Tan Rou had never thought that Liang Lu was a bad girl. She was just a little willful. She hoped that Liang Lu would stop wasting time and earn a bright future for herself.
âSister, Sister Lu â¦â One of her lackeys looked at the test paper. âShe just wants to insult you. How can we finish this paper?!â
âIf she can do it, why canât I?â Liang Lu folded the test papers, then put on her school uniform and walked back.
The delinquents followed her. âSister Lu, are you really going to head back to study?!â
âWhat else?â Liang Lu stuffed the test paper into the pocket of her school uniform. âI, Liang Lu, have always been a woman of my word. Since I promised her that I will pass this paper, I will.â
âSister Lu, this is the physics competition paper.â The lackey reminded Liang Lu.
Liang Lu glared at her. âAre you calling me stupid?â
âNo, no. Itâs something thatâs difficult for even most people to do on this test.â the delinquent hurriedly explained. âSheâs just making things difficult for you.â
Liang Lu didnât believe her. âIâm going to finish this test paper and show it to her. Donât look for me when you go out in the future. I have to start studying hard.â
The lackeys looked at each other and felt as if they had seen a ghost. Sister Lu actually wanted to learn. She might really have been possessed by a ghost.
âAre you really going back to study?â One of the lackeys asked.
The other said, âLetâs go, letâs go. Weâre following Sister Lu. If Sister Lu doesnât go, thereâs no point for us to go.â
âThen shall we head back and get out books?â
âLetâs try then. Maybe our ancestors will help us and we might get enrolled into a university.â
âWell, then I must have been haunted.â
