Chapter 73: Live off Parents?
Cheng Ling carefully noted them down one by one. Then, she found the information they needed from the video website and sent it to them.
Those girls all replied with thanks and attached very cute emojis.
Cheng Ling opened her emojis and found that there were only a few.
A few of them were sent to her by Xie Ying. They were all old emojis.
She didn’t usually have many people to chat with on WeChat. Thus no one would send her emojis.
She replied to the three girls without hesitation. She then put away her phone and continued to read her book.
“You come to school every day, you don’t play or sleep, and you just read these idle books here. Is there any use?”
Ding Yu seemed to be deliberately finding fault with her, and he knocked on Cheng Ling’s desk with his knuckles.
Cheng Ling didn’t even raise her head and directly retorted him, “Then what is the use for you to sleep here all day?”
“I sleep to make up for my sleep. How is it of no use? Don’t you know that lack of sleep can cause sudden death?”
“Normal people usually sleep at night. May I ask what you were doing at night?”
Although the two of them were still retorting to each other, the atmosphere was much better now. At least, it didn’t feel like they were going to start a fight.
“I’ll bring our brothers to share the points tonight!”
“Tch.” Cheng Ling used a sound to express her speechlessness.
How old were they now? They still played games every day and didn’t do anything serious.
“What will you live on in the future? Just by playing games? Or do you want to live off your parents?”
Cheng Ling’s three consecutive questions made Ding Yu a little embarrassed, and he quickly denied it.
“What are you talking about? Can’t I go out and work in the future? I’m a man with arms and legs, I can still support myself.”
“You only know how to play games every day. You don’t even know if you can get into university. What do you want to do in the future? Besides, you only need to support yourself. Don’t you need to repay your grandfather?”
“I…”
Cheng Ling’s series of words were like a machine gun, leaving Ding Yu speechless.
“I can’t be bothered to talk to you so much. Who do you think you are? Are you trying to educate me on behalf of my grandfather?” After saying this, Ding Yu stood up angrily.
The chair made an ear-piercing sound of friction with the floor.
Ding Yu’s last sentence was a little loud, causing many students in the class to turn around and look.
However, they had gradually gotten used to Ding Yu and Cheng Ling’s tit-for-tat. Thus after a while, they turned back to do their things.
Ding Yu stood up and went out through the back door.
Cheng Ling looked at the empty seat next to her, pursed her lips, and didn’t do anything else.
Ding Yu didn’t come back for the rest of the class either.
It was until lunch break when Cheng Ling came back from the dining hall after eating that she saw Ding Yu sitting in his seat again.
Ding Yu did not react when he sensed the movement beside him. Cheng Ling also pretended that nothing had happened and continued to do her thing.
The few classes in the afternoon passed peacefully.
After class, Cheng Ling hurriedly packed her bag and walked to the cafe outside the school.
As it was Friday, many students were eager to go home.
Cheng Ling mingled with the crowd of students and walked out of the school. When she reached the cafe, she saw that Chen Min was already sitting at the coffee table in the corner.
Chen Min had sharp eyes. She immediately noticed Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling smiled and walked over to Chen Min.
“Let’s see what you want to drink.”
Cheng Ling ordered a cup of fruit juice. She wasn’t used to caffeine and wouldn’t be able to sleep at night after drinking it.
For Cheng Ling, not being able to sleep was her biggest nightmare. It would make her feel listless the next day, and no matter how much she tried to catch up on sleep, she wouldn’t be able to make up for it.
“How was class today? How are the students in the class?”
Although she hadn’t seen Chen Min for only two days, Cheng Ling felt like a long time had passed.
She nodded. “Fine, everyone is doing fine.”
The coffee table was in dark brown. There were some colorful dots on it, which added a bit of liveliness to the calmness.
“Teacher Chen Min, I heard from the principal that your dismissal was due to the fight between Ding Yu and me.” Cheng Ling went straight to the point.
They sat by the window. Through the clean floor-to-ceiling glass, they could see the gate of Yuya First High School.
This year was the 100th anniversary of Yuya First High School. The school had specially invited sponsors to renovate the gate of the school. While preserving the long history of the 100-year-old school, it also added some new elements.
This was to show that Yuya First High School was an inclusive school that kept up with the times.
