Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Not Knowing How to Appreciate Favors
Sheng Tang and Jiang Baocu quickly walked to the school gate.
"...he’s quite scheming, asking you to watch the basketball game, then it’s late after it’s finished, and then he suggests sending you home," Jiang Baocu said.
Sheng Tang responded with a hum.
Jiang Baocu continued, "When someone pursues a girl for the first time, they’re usually very shy and cautious. How could he suggest a night date? Normally, they’d test the waters for a long time, then ask for a daytime weekend date."
Sheng Tang agreed with this.
Seeing her nod, Jiang Baocu was even more pleased, "It shows that he’s very skilled in this, he must have pursued many girls before. And he’s utterly impatient, did you notice? Very straightforward, probably experienced, also he thinks you’re easy to pursue, doesn’t take you seriously."
Sheng Tang laughed out loud.
She spoke to Jiang Baocu, "You’ve never been in a relationship, yet you have a lot of experience. People like you will easily remain single in the future."
Those who see too clearly often find it hard to fall in love, ending up as love advisors for others. And for herself, she had no practical experience at all.
Jiang Baocu retorted, "Don’t curse me!"
Sheng Tang wasn’t affected.
To be honest, Liang Wei’s tactics couldn’t shake her at all.
Compared to shamelessness, Sheng Tang was far superior to all the high school students.
She went home.
That night, Gu Shiting called her.
She didn’t mention the class drama, just chatted with him a bit, asked how his day went.
Gu Shiting talked about his trivial matters of the day, they chatted for about ten minutes, Sheng Tang casually ate some corn for dinner, then went to the gym.
In the following few days, Liang Wei stopped sending love letters and didn’t bother Sheng Tang.
He complained in his WeChat moments, implying that Sheng Tang was ungrateful.
No one told Sheng Tang about this, but classmates who saw it discussed privately, thinking Liang Wei was the shameless one.
The belle of their class certainly wasn’t a match for Liang Wei, and moreover, Sheng Tang’s calm and steady demeanor earned her quite a bit of respect among the students, not something Liang Wei’s few words could diminish.
Sheng Tang’s studies were also progressing, and even the maths which had been holding her back was catching up.
She did her homework meticulously.
Jiang Baocu followed her and had made significant progress in his studies as well.
It was Thursday again, Sheng Tang and Jiang Baocu had lunch, and Jiang Baocu insisted she accompany him to buy bubble tea, so Sheng Tang went with him for an extra meal.
Midway, Jiang Baocu received a call from his aunt.
"...I don’t want to go," Jiang Baocu said a few words, looking rather upset, "It’s got nothing to do with me."
His aunt seemed to be persuading him.
Jiang Baocu became agitated, "Does what she says go? I already said, no! Why are you siding with outsiders?"
His aunt’s voice on the phone was soft.
Jiang Baocu’s temper softened a bit, "Whatever, I’m not going anyway. She said you and my dad were causing trouble, why don’t you refute her?"
Afterwards, he said a few more words and hung up.
Sheng Tang didn’t ask.
She had sensitively perceived that it was about Jiang Baocu’s mother.
Jiang Baocu told Sheng Tang everything so much that even if he had a pimple on his back, Sheng Tang knew.
But regarding his mother, he never mentioned anything; and his father, he only occasionally brought up.
From his few words, Sheng Tang guessed that his parents were long divorced, and his aunt and father were business partners, running a media company together.
Jiang Baocu lived with his aunt, his father also supported him but was rarely home.
Sheng Tang didn’t ask, Jiang Baocu sipped loudly on his straw, finishing his bubble tea.
"My mom wants me to attend her birthday party," Jiang Baocu voluntarily spoke.
