Qiao Nan was stunned. She could not understand what kind of relations.h.i.+p the Life committee member, Tao Zhenqin, meant. It was only when Qiao Nan saw the ambiguous smile on Tao Zhenqin’s face did she understand what she meant. “All of you have read too much into it. Zhu Baoguo treats me like a younger sister.”

Of course, she treated Zhu Baoguo like a son…

“Younger sister? Are you both related?” Tang Mengran, head of their dormitory, blinked. “Both of you do not look alike. Is he a relative from your mother’s side or your father’s side?”

“No, let me put it this way. My grandpa and Zhu Baoguo’s maternal grandpa have a good relations.h.i.+p. After my grandpa pa.s.sed away, Zhu Baoguo’s grandpa takes great care of my dad and my family. In fact, the relations.h.i.+p between our families dated back to our grandfathers’ generation.” Both of them were not related, but if she did not give an explanation to these curious young people, news of her ‘puppy love’ with Zhu Baoguo might spread throughout Ping Cheng High School.

“Oh, both of your families have such good relations.h.i.+ps.” Sure enough, when Qiao Nan mentioned that the relations.h.i.+p between the two families dated back to their grandfather’s generation and they were old family friends, the people in the dormitory no longer had the ambiguous look when they talked about Qiao Nan’s relations.h.i.+p with Zhu Baoguo.

“We have thought that… It’s a misunderstanding. Qiao Nan, don’t be angry with us.” As good students who were able to study at Ping Cheng High School based on their performance, they were disdainful of students whose academic performance were not as good or those who had messy relations.h.i.+ps.

“It’s alright. I am glad that the misunderstanding has been cleared up.” Qiao Nan, who had a good temper, shook her head. After entering the canteen, she took the meal ticket and went to get her meal.

It was not uncommon for people from the same dormitory to sit together and have their meals.

The six young ladies sat together and had their dinner. Even if it was mealtime, there would always be people who could not help but start a conversation. “Qiao Nan, can I ask you a question?” The person who said this was Zheng Lingling, the League committee member and the secretary of the cla.s.s.

“Go ahead.”

“I heard that you are the top scholar in the middle school examination. Why did you not go to The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China?” If The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China accepted students based on their score, Qiao Nan should be the first student to be accepted and followed by others. n.o.body expected that Qiao Nan would study at Ping Cheng High School.

When Zheng Lingling saw Qiao Nan’s name in high school year one cla.s.s one, she had thought that this Qiao Nan had the same name as the Qiao Nan who was the top scholar in the middle school examination.

“The tuition fee in The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China is more expensive. My family has more than one child. I have an elder sister who is already studying at The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. Besides, my junior high school is Ping Cheng Junior High School as well.” There was no way she could hide the fact that she was exempted from paying her tuition and miscellaneous fees. Hence, she decided to tell them upfront about her family’s situation.

“Well…” Zheng Lingling was startled. She did not expect that Qiao Nan would be so frank. She was lost for words.

The atmosphere turned awkward in an instant. The six young ladies stopped chatting. They finished their meals at the fastest speed and went back to the cla.s.sroom to partic.i.p.ate in the evening self-study.

“Xiao Qiao, did anyone bully you?” When Qiao Nan sat down, Zhu Baoguo came up to her and asked.

“Don’t worry, everything is good.” Qiao Nan took out her book and started reading. In fact, as long as Zhu Baoguo was absent, she could get along very well with her cla.s.smates.

“It’s good that n.o.body bullies you.” Zhu Baoguo nodded then whispered, “If you are immersed in your books all day long, you will turn into a nerd soon. I don’t know what’s so good about these books.”

“Some of you boys, come with me to get the clothes.” The cla.s.s monitor stood on the podium and called out two groups of boys.

“Get the clothes? School uniforms?”
