Chapter 1379: The Blackened Good Girl (14)

The younger generation all looked at the fair and delicate girl sitting at the center with gratitude in their eyes.

They all thought the same thing.

As expected of the most outstanding girl among them. She had excellent grades, a beautiful smile, and even her words were pleasant to hear.

Seeing this, the system finally relaxed a little.

He did not want to see that host who had been completely stained by darkness.

What he liked was the host who, even after returning from hell, still yearned for the human world.

Even if the whole world was cold, he hoped she could still feel the warmth of the sun.

He hoped that in every world, a ray of sunshine would shine upon her and let her feel that the world still held warmth, making her willing to long for the light.

“Little Cousin, do you think there's still hope for my weak subjects?” one of her cousins asked.

Tang Guo smiled. “Getting extremely high scores may be difficult, but if it's a science subject, focus on the types of questions you can solve. Memorize all the formulas and laws. Once you've practiced enough and know them by heart, passing won't be a problem. Don't waste time on difficult questions you can't solve. Focus on what you can master.”

“If it's Chinese or English, then memorize. With enough memorization, passing won't be difficult. As for essays, reading more sample compositions will help.”

Seeing how patient Tang Guo was, everyone enthusiastically joined the discussion on study methods.

The parents no longer had the mood to compare their children with others.

Because the future Tang Guo described for them truly gave them hope.

Who didn't want their child to be outstanding?

It turned out their children weren't lacking in talent; they had simply failed to discover where that talent lay.

Everyone was happy.

That lasted until Wu Lingling's family arrived.

Only then did the discussion come to an end.

Following behind her parents with an unwilling expression, Wu Lingling immediately caused everyone to exchange glances and feel some dislike toward her.

Today was Tang Guo's birthday.

What did it mean for her to wear such a long face in someone else's home?

Fortunately, Father Tang and Mother Tang were generous people and wouldn't hold a grudge against a child.

Mother Tang still greeted Qin Ruolan—Wu Lingling's mother—and Wu Jun, the drunkard who was Wu Lingling's father, with a smile and invited them inside.

Wu Jun chose to sit with the men and immediately started bragging and chatting.

Qin Ruolan headed to the kitchen to help Mother Tang.

As for Wu Lingling, she sat by herself in a corner, refusing to interact with anyone her age. Holding the remote control, she mindlessly switched channels.

Tang Guo smiled gently. “Lingling, come sit with us.”

“No thanks. It's more spacious here,” Wu Lingling replied without appreciation.

Tang Guo had no intention of letting her off so easily. Maintaining her gentle smile, she continued chatting and laughing with the others.

Wu Lingling frowned.

She hated seeing Tang Guo surrounded by everyone like the center of attention.

And those people weren't speaking to her either.

Inwardly, she sneered.

These people simply looked down on her.

Because her family wasn't as wealthy as Tang Guo's.

Because her father was a drunk and her mother worked two ordinary jobs.

Because her grades weren't as good as Tang Guo's.

These people were all snobs despite their young age.

She didn't want to play with them either.

Since Wu Lingling was covered in thorns and nobody wanted to make things awkward, everyone simply ignored her and continued discussing their studies with Tang Guo.

At that moment, Qin Ruolan, Wu Lingling's mother, came out of the kitchen and saw her daughter sitting there idly, randomly pressing buttons on the remote control.
