Chapter 395Childhood Sweetheart 2
When Chen Xiaopang went to school the next day, the children found that he was followed by a girl.
“Xiaopang! Who is she?”
A pretty little girl stood up and asked.
Chen Xiaopang didn’t want to talk to her. The little girl named Feng Meixin always pestered him. She wanted him to play with her.
“It’s none of your business.” Chen Xiaopang said ferociously.
Feng Meixin grunted, “We’re in the classroom. You can’t bring anyone in. The teacher will criticize you later.”
The teacher just came in. Seeing that they were still standing beside the teacher’s desk, the teacher called Zhao Ying to the teacher’s desk.
“This is the new classmate of our class. She is younger than you. Everyone should help her more.” After saying this, the teacher bent down and patted Zhao Ying’s head with a very gentle voice, “Come on, say hello to everyone!”
“Hello, everyone, my name is Zhao Ying.” Zhao Ying raised her head and whispered. Then she quickly lowered her head.
The class began to make noise. Miss. Guo encouraged her, “It’s okay. You will get familiar with them slowly. You know Chen Jinjin, so sit at the same table with him first!”
Zhao Ying is confused, “Miss. Guo, who is Chen Jinjin?”
Miss. Guo was surprised, “Don’t you live in his home? His mother also said that you are her foster daughter.”
Zhao Ying’s eyes widen and then she says, “Oh.”
Zhao Ying walked to her seat with her bag in her arms. Chen Xiaopang asked fiercely, “What did Miss. Guo say to you just now?”
“She said nothing.” Zhao Ying looked at him slowly.
She thought that his name was Chen Jinjin. No wonder he had a bad temper. If she had such a bad name, she must cry every day.
Chen Xiaopang thought something’s wrong but Zhao Ying had already started to pack her schoolbag. She put the bag in the desk first. Then she took out her pencil box, textbooks and notebooks and then put them in place.
Then she took out her pencil and eraser. Each one was placed neatly
Chen Xiaopang looked at his messy desk. He opened his pencil box suddenly. Zhao Ying was scared.
Chen Xiaopang said gruffly, “What are you looking at? Your arm are not allowed to cross the line.”
“I don’t cross the line.” Zhao Ying looks and says, “I’m not beyond my desk.”
Chen Xiaopang glared at her, “Why do you speak so much? You didn’t speak at home yesterday.”
“Because adults like obedient children.” Zhao Ying said seriously. She looked at Chen Xiaopang with sympathetic eyes and asks, “Your father often hits you, doesn’t he?”
“How do you know?” Chen Xiaopang got angry, “You are talking nonsense! My father never hits me.”
Zhao Ying blinked. She wanted to say that she saw Uncle Chen hit him yesterday. She felt that someone was stabbing her in the back. She turned around and saw that it was the pretty little girl.
“You can’t speak during morning reading. My name is Feng Meixin. I’m the class monitor.” The little girl thought that Zhao Ying should listen to her because she was the class monitor.
Zhao Ying immediately covered her mouth and nodded. She turned to open the Chinese textbook. Chen Xiaopang snorted and turned to talk to the boy next to him. After the morning reading, it was the first Chinese class. The teacher wanted Zhao Ying to get used to the class faster, so the teacher asked her to read the text.
“Mom comes home from work, Xiaoming...” Zhao Ying was articulate and not nervous at all. Suddenly, she saw Chen Xiaopang taking the pencil in her pencil box secretly.
Maybe Chen Xiaopang found out that she saw it, so he grinned.
Zhao Ying was not influenced by him and finished reading a passage. The teacher was satisfied and asked her to sit down.
“Chen Jinjin, you go on to read the next paragraph.”
Chen Xiaopang didn’t know which paragraph to read.
“If you read the text carefully tomorrow morning, I’ll tell you which paragraph it is.” Zhao Ying whispered.
Chen Xiaopang was very angry. To his surprise, this ugly girl was so bold.
“Chen Jinjin, what are you doing?” The teacher saw that he didn’t respond for a long time and said, “Today is only Monday. Are you going to reduce your red flowers?”
Chen Xiaopang suddenly thought of his father’s words.
“Xiaopang, your teacher said that every child has five red flowers a week. I don’t ask much of you. You don’t need to get more red flowers but they can’t be reduced. Well! If you have more red flowers, I will give you more pocket money. If you have less, I will be cruel to you.”
Chen Xiaopang shivered. He hurried to bow his head and ask Zhao Ying, “Tell me which paragraph to read quickly.”
“You can’t speak during morning reading.” Zhao Ying stared at the textbook and said.
“Okay. Which paragraph?” Chen Xiaopang gnashed.
“The last paragraph.”
Chen Xiaopang kept his red flowers but he hated Zhao Ying even more.
“Xiaopang, do you know that new classmate?” After class, the children gathered in groups. Even Zhao Ying’s desk was surrounded by two little girls.
Kang Liyang, a good friend of Chen Xiaopang, held up a comic book and laughed, “Look, does her hair look like this monster?”
“Let me see!”
The children scrambled to see it. Then they giggled and said yes.
This was the story of the hero of the universe fighting the bad monster. In this issue, the monster had a black shell on its head, which was very similar to Zhao Ying’s thick bangs. Chen Xiaopang looked at it and thought so. He immediately felt that Zhao Ying was not only ugly but also as bad as the monster!
Otherwise, why didn’t she tell him which paragraph to read?
“She is the daughter of my mother’s friend. She lives in my home now.” Chen Xiaopang turned his eyes and said, “She looks strange. Don’t play with her.”
“Why does she live in your home?” A child asked.
“Because her parents don’t want her.” Chen Xiaopang lowered his voice and secretly took a look at Zhao Ying. Seeing that she didn’t pay attention, he said in a lower voice, “Her mother has gone abroad. Her father has gone far away and can’t come back.”
A precocious child thought and said, “Her father is dead.”
“I think so.” Chen Xiaopang nodded, “So she’s a poor child without a father or a mother.”
A little boy was very sad, “She’s so pathetic. Will she cry if we don’t play with her?”
“No.” Chen Xiaopang bullshitted, “When we came together in the morning, she said she didn’t like our class at all. She liked the original school.”
Kang Liyang was very angry, “Why doesn’t she like our class? How nice our class is!”
“How do I know?” Chen Xiaopang pursed. He had no reason for his nonsense.
The communication between children was very fast and easy to deteriorate. Soon these words were spread in the class. At last, everyone knew that Zhao Ying didn’t like their class and disliked her classmates’ poor grades...
“Hum! I’d like to see how well she does in her studies.” Feng Meixin, as the class monitor, was the first in the first grade. But Zhao Ying said that she didn’t study well!
She was very unhappy when she heard that the new classmate lived in Chen Xiaopang’s home. Her mother told her that the richest one in her class was Chen Xiaopang’s family, so she had to make friends with Chen Xiaopang.
But Chen Xiaopang didn’t pay much attention to her. Nevertheless he didn’t pay attention to other girls, either. So Feng Meixin didn’t respond. But now Zhao Ying came... Under her influence, even the two little girls who started talking to Zhao Ying didn’t dare to play with her.
It seemed that Zhao Ying didn’t care about it. Every day when she went back, Wang Cailian asked her about her school, her classmates and whether she had been bullied.
“The school is very good and the classmates in the class are also very good. They didn’t bully me.” Every time Zhao Ying said so.
Gradually, Chen Xiaopang thought that she was a monster. No one played with her. Feng Meixin didn’t collect her homework yesterday. The teacher thought that she didn’t finish it, and asked her by name during morning reading.
“I’m sorry. I forgot to hand it in.” Zhao Ying sent the exercise book to the teacher’s desk.
The teacher turned it over and saw that she had finished well. Her words were neat and beautiful. The teacher smiled and let her pay attention next time.
“Why don’t you tell the teacher that the monitor didn’t collect your homework...?” Chen Xiaopang asked in a low voice.
Zhao Ying said, “She may have forgotten. It doesn’t matter.”
Chen Xiaopang rolled his eyes, “She did it on purpose! She didn’t collect your homework on purpose. She wanted the teacher to criticize you.”
“Why did she do it?” Zhao Ying asked with an expression that she didn’t know anything, “I didn’t quarrel with her.”
“Because I said something bad about you. Everyone didn’t like you.” Chen Xiaopang thought. Of course, Chen Xiaopang couldn’t say that. He scratched his hair and turned his head to the other side wearily.
After a while, he heard Zhao Ying reading the text in a low voice. He looked at her secretly and found it was a text they had not learned.
“Hey!” Chen Xiaopang couldn’t bear to be lonely, so he touched his deskmate’s arm, “We haven’t learned what you read yet.”
Zhao Ying nodded, “Well, I learn it myself.”
“Do you know all these words?” Chen Xiaopang glanced at the textbook.
“I know most of them.”
He thought she would say that she could look up the Chinese phonetic alphabet at the end of the book. But she said that she knew them directly.
“I don’t believe it!” Chen Xiaopang shouted, “Do you know all these words?”
Zhao Ying frowned, “I mean I know most of the words.”
“How do you pronounce this word?” Chen Xiaopang pointed at a word casually.
Zhao Ying read it out without thinking about it.
“What about this one?”
“This one!”
Chen Xiaopang was shocked to find that Zhao Ying was not a liar. She really knew those words. Sometimes he didn’t know the words he had learned, let alone the strange texts he hadn’t learned.
He finally realized that it was true that his parents said Zhao Ying was clever.
“What did you say to your deskmate just now?” When they went to pee together, Kang Liyang asked, “I heard her say that she knew a lot of words.”
Chen Xiaopang said, “No. She bragged.”
After saying this, his heart beat.
“Well!” Kang Liyang lifted his pants, “Is she only five years old? Shouldn’t a five-year-old child be in kindergarten?”
Everyone knew that Zhao Ying was indeed younger than them. She’s only five years old! No wonder she was so short.
Chen Xiaopang became angry with embarrassment, “Why do you talk about her all the time?”
“It’s nothing!” Kang Liyang didn’t find anything wrong with Chen Xiaopang. He said, “Just after class, I heard Feng Meixin and other girls say that they would run in the PE class tomorrow. They were going to tell the teacher that Zhao Ying could run fast and let her lead.”
Could a five-year-old child run faster than them? Chen Xiaopang showed a sore face.
