Chapter 974: Beautiful Girl (21)

She had wanted to do that kind of work herself, earn some money, and help support her family. Unfortunately, she simply lacked the ability and could only feel envious deep down.

Thinking of Tang Guo's situation, her eyes filled with sympathy.

She was also secretly grateful. Fortunately, she had met a good person like Song Zhouchen. Otherwise, her circumstances probably wouldn't have been much better than Tang Guo's.

But now that Tang Guo knew Zuo Ran and Wei Liang and had become good friends with them, with their help, life should become easier for her, right?

Tang Guo saw Bai Fei's expression clearly and thought the girl was truly innocent.

If Song Zhouchen had been as vile as Wei Liang and Zuo Ran, there might have been more than one ruined girl.

The dishes arrived, and she quietly ate her meal. Chang Zhan, seated opposite her, finally stopped working on his problems and began eating lunch.

During the meal, Tang Guo would occasionally glance at him.

The system noticed and secretly asked, Host, is there something wrong with Chang Zhan? I've gone through the plot from beginning to end. He's just a math fanatic. He practically ignores the outside world, so he has no grudges against you.

Oh, right, Host. They say that if he goes a day without solving math problems, he becomes restless. Once, when his family stopped him from doing them, he even developed allergies and broke out in rashes all over his body. He's really strange. I've never heard of such an illness before. Perhaps my knowledge is too shallow.

Tang Guo suddenly burst out laughing, drawing everyone's attention.

It had to be said, when she smiled so brightly, she was truly captivating.

Even Chang Zhan couldn't help looking at her one more time, though he quickly recovered and lowered his head to continue eating.

Coming back to his senses, Zuo Ran asked, “What are you laughing about? Did you think of something happy?”

“Yeah, tell us,” Wei Liang added with interest. He didn't even realize that his attention toward Tang Guo had already exceeded what he himself understood.

Meanwhile, Bai Fei was thinking that this face was really beautiful. Recalling all those girls who gossiped about Tang Guo, she couldn't help wondering whether they were simply jealous of her looks and had spread rumors out of envy, causing the slander to grow more and more outrageous.

Song Zhouchen had no reaction. The type he liked was Bai Fei. Tang Guo was indeed beautiful, but he wasn't interested in her.

Seeing Bai Fei staring blankly at Tang Guo, he waved a hand before her eyes and said softly, “Eat your food.”

Bai Fei hurriedly lowered her head and quietly resumed eating.

This girl really was beautiful.

She had heard that Tang Guo had been named the school beauty as soon as she entered school. Perhaps she really was being envied.

Chang Zhan finished first. His gaze casually swept over Tang Guo before he left, hugging his math workbook.

As he walked out of the cafeteria, he subconsciously turned back.

For some reason, he had felt as though those eyes were stuck to his back.

And when he looked, sure enough, she was watching him. Her gaze was straightforward and unreserved. Seeing him look back, she smiled at him again.

Chang Zhan's expression remained indifferent as he turned and left.

What a strange girl.

He wasn't interested in her at all.

Could it be that his judgment was wrong? Was she trying to seduce him?

He quickly rejected the thought. If she really wanted to pursue one of them, Wei Liang and Zuo Ran would already satisfy her. It couldn't be because of that.

Host, why do you keep looking at him? You—

The system suddenly reacted and let out a cry.

Could it be that it's that guy?

Math problems!

Right! I remember now. In one world before, Host, you were a great mathematician. Oh, I understand now!

He doesn't break out in allergies because he can't solve math problems.

He's pining over someone.

Not seeing you makes his whole body uncomfortable and causes him to break out in rashes.
