Chapter 8: I Repented
On the first day of school, students in the first year (A) of St. Franco's Academy of Sciences are free to move around as long as they introduce themselves.
Since St. Fran's Academy is not a closed campus, most of the students in the class plan to go out in pairs, except for Meng Ning, Ling Zhiyi and Gu Xinuan.
It was still early, and Meng Ning decided to take a walk around the school to avoid getting lost in the future.
Gu Xinuan was a newcomer, and no one he knew knew wanted to visit the campus like Meng Ning, but Ling Zhiyi's behavior was incredible.
It is understood that he also studied at St. Franco's Academy in junior high school, so he should be very familiar with the campus, and his friend also sent him an invitation to go out to play just now, but he politely declined, not knowing what he wanted to do to stay.
Without trying to guess what the two of them were thinking, Meng Ning packed up the table, picked up her schoolbag and was about to leave the classroom.
Seeing this, Gu Xinuan grabbed the strap of her schoolbag and immediately followed: "Meng Ning, can I go with you?" β
Meng Ning glanced at her lightly: "You are free, my name is not written on the road to the school." β
A bright smile instantly bloomed on Gu Xinuan's face: "Great, thank you, ah yes, I ...... just now"
Before she finished speaking, a pleasant male voice came from behind the two:
"Where are you going? I've been in San Franco Middle School for three years, so I'm familiar with it and can be a guide for you. β
Ling Zhiyi waved at them, revealing a standard friendly smile, bright yellow stud earrings flashing in the sun.
Gu Xinuan was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting that the famous big star would take the initiative to guide the two of them.
Meng Ning reacted quickly, and her tone was cold: "You said it, you won't say superfluous words." β
"Well, I said that, butβ" Ling Zhiyi blinked and grinned, "I regret it." β
He put his hands in his pockets, lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Xinuan, and then moved his gaze to Meng Ning, with a smile:
"I was thinking, since you can talk to Gu Xinuan so warmly, then you must not reject your classmates, so I came over!"
The corners of Meng Ning's mouth twitched.
No, where did he see that she was chatting with Gu Xinuan very warmly? She didn't even say a word to her.
Again, it has only been more than an hour since he made the promise of "I won't say another word", and he repented so quickly, does this person still have a little integrity???
That's how a big star works? Aren't you afraid of being banned?
And why did he keep pestering her, obviously they only met for the first time today.
One Gu Xinuan and the other Ling Zhiyi, Meng Ning felt that she couldn't explain the behavior of the two with smooth logic at all.
The white-haired girl sighed softly, paused, and cast a pair of windless and waveless green eyes at Ling Zhiyi beside her:
"Ling Zhiyi, why do you want to be friends with me?"
Ling Zhiyi's thin lips opened slightly, he was silent for a while, and asked rhetorically, "Are you sure you want to know?" β
"Sure."
Crisp and crisp.
"Because ......," he smiled, curling his ignorant and harmless looking dog eyes, "you have a good academic performance, and I want to learn from you." β
Looking at Meng Ning's stunned eyes, he paused and continued:
"When I saw you on the bus, I knew that you must be a specially recruited student because of your excellent grades, I usually have a lot of work to do, and my grades are a mess, so I want to learn from you, whether you believe it or not, this is my reason."
Reasoned and logical.
As a singer and actor, he must have endless work to do, and it is normal for him to not be able to take care of his studies, so it is very reasonable for him to want to learn from a special student with excellent grades.
Thinking of this, Meng Ning nodded: "I know." β
Ling Zhiyi's eyes lit up: "So are you willing to be friends with me!?" β
"Nope."
As soon as she said this, the light in Ling Zhiyi's eyes immediately dimmed, but what she said next made him shine again:
"I don't understand the concept of friends yet, so I can't be friends with you for the time being, but if you have any questions about your studies, you can ask me."
Hearing this, Ling Zhiyi's eyes widened slightly, a few locks of white highlights in his hair fluttered in the wind, he hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled:
"Okay, Teacher Meng Ning!"
Meng Ning was speechless: "I'm not a teacher. β
Ling Zhiyi smiled undiminishedly: "So...... Meng Ning. β
Listening to the conversation between the two all the time, Gu Xinuan was not to be outdone, and hurriedly grabbed one of Meng Ning's arms, her face was slightly red:
"Although I have declared war on you, that doesn't mean I won't come and ask you questions."
Meng Ning bowed her head, and her voice was clear: "Of course you can ask me questions, I don't mind, it's just that I really don't understand your declaration of war, and I don't think I'm your opponent." β
Gu Xinuan: "It's okay, I just want to surpass you, that's all~"
Meng Ning stared at her for a moment and said seriously:
"I'm looking forward to that day."
She wondered if this cheerful and energetic girl could really pull her off the throne, who had been the first since she was a child.
β¦β¦
At about 11:40 p.m., while the students in the third year of high school had not finished class, the three of them went to the cafeteria of the Academy of St. Francis.
There are five floors in the cafeteria, and each floor offers different regional and flavored food, but the price is too high for the average person to afford.
Fortunately, there is a window on each floor that takes care of special students, and the dishes in these windows are delicious and cheap, which is very suitable for Meng Ning and Gu Xinuan.
As for Ling Zhiyi, of course, it is not a problem to consume casually in the cafeteria, but since he said that he wants to be the guide of the two special enrollments, he walked with them to the window set up for special enrollment.
"The cafeteria in the high school is similar to that in the junior high school, and the top management is the same, if you eat hair bugs or something in the meal, you can call the manager at any time, well, the mobile phone number is there, the canteen will pay you ten times the price of the meal, and the leader in charge of the window must publicly apologize and suspend business for rectification."
"Ten times! AlsoγDo you want to publicly apologize for the suspension of business for rectification?! Gu Xinuan opened his round eyes, "Is it necessary for the school cafeteria to do this?" When I was in junior high school, if I ate my hair in the middle of the meal, I basically didn't get it, and at most I had to pay another copy for the exact same. β
Ling Zhiyi smiled slightly: "This is the St. Fran Academy of Sciences, besides, since it charges a high fee in terms of dishes, it is natural to give a service worthy of the price, which is what managers should do." β
Meng Ning and Gu Xinuan glanced at each other, and they both read the word "unsuitable" from each other's eyes.
The aristocratic academy for the children of rich families is really not something they can get used to immediately.
