Chapter 137: Meet Chan Mengyan Again
In a university, children from wealthy families are the minority. There are probably only a few of them in a school because most of the students were from the working cla.s.s. Children from a well-off family like Zhang Bingâs might be a little more common, but there wouldnât be too many of them.
So, Yang Ming who had few hundred thousand yuan would be considered rich among the students.
When taking his driving lessons with Zhang Bing, Yang Ming tried his best to not think about Chen Mengyan. Half a month had pa.s.sed in a blink of an eye. It was the time for the results of National Higher Education Entrance Examination to be released.
Yang Ming didnât want to face her, but he had to. Today when he went to school, it was inevitable for him to meet with Chen Mengyan. But Yang Ming gritted his teeth, Iâm such a man. Why would I be scared? If I stay fearful of wolves ahead and tigers from behind [1], how successful would I be?
On the morning of the 25th, Zhang Bing drove his Chrysler 300c to Yang Mingâs house. After a period of training, Zhang Bing was very familiar with a Tiptronic car. He was driving without a license for now, but no one would notice as long as he didnât cause any accidents.
A Chrysler car wasnât that expensive, but it looked very cool. Itâs even more fas.h.i.+onable than Mercedes-Benz or BMW. With a retro old car design and a large exhaust grid, it slowly got the attention of the people by the roadside.
Especially when it stopped beside the school, many students were envious of him. Zhang Bing certainly enjoyed such a feeling. When he went to school previously, Zhang Jiefang never let him drive to school, and limited his pocket money, so Zhang Bing remained lowkey.
But when Zhang Bing drove his car to school today, many foxy girls started to pay attention to Zhang Bing. They were going to university soon, so they didnât have to care about the taboo during high school. Romantic relations.h.i.+ps were prevalent among university students, so many people wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to interact with their crush and see if they could get along together.
High school students and university students were undeniably not the same. A high school girlâs target partner was usually handsome, athletic and intelligent. On the other hand, the university girl takes much more into consideration. For them, the appearance of a boy wasnât as important as long as he was rich!
Zhang Bing surely met the criteria. Of course, Zhang Bing wasnât as masculine as Yang Ming, but he could at least make a proud presentation.
Therefore, many girls inquired about Zhang Bingâs background when he got out from the car.
Unfortunately, right after Yang Ming got out of his car, a luxurious Mercedes-Benz stopped beside Zhang Bingâs Chrysler. The person who got out from the car was w.a.n.g Zhitao.
w.a.n.g Zhitao was apparently startled to see Yang Ming. Yang Ming felt the same too. But Yang Ming decided to take the initiative, so he reacted very quickly. His face had returned to normal. âw.a.n.g Zhitao, hey, itâs you! What happened? Forgot about your bro after half a month?â
w.a.n.g Zhitao seemed confounded. My G.o.d! What happened to Yang Ming? Did he take the wrong pill? He never treated me with such warmth before. Am I having an illusion? w.a.n.g Zhitao literally wanted to slap his mouth to see if he was dreaming.
âHehe, you know how to drive too?â Yang Ming asked when he noticed that Zhang Biao didnât come and w.a.n.g Zhitao drove the car himself.
w.a.n.g Zhitao pinched his arm forcibly. It hurts! Looks like Iâm not dreaming!
âUhâŚâ w.a.n.g Zhitaoâs reaction was quite quick. Since Yang Ming didnât quarrel with him openly, w.a.n.g Zhitao didnât have to mess with him on the spot. âHehe, yeah. I got my license earlier. My dad gave the car to me. If you have time, Iâll take you for a ride!â
âHehe, thatâs great!â Yang Ming nodded his head. âHow was your National Higher Education Entrance Examination result? I donât think you have any problems to enroll in Tsinghua University?â
w.a.n.g Zhitao nursed a grievance when he thought about this! I should be enrolling in Tsinghua University! Even Nankai University and Fudan University are still better, but it turns out I ended up paying for the combined school.
âDonât mention about it. I had a fever the day before our exam, and as a result, I underperformed. My score is around two hundred points!â w.a.n.g Zhitao gave a bitter smile, âI canât even attend a secondary college!â
When the results came out on the 25th, students can inquire about their score through the score inquiry system. Yang Ming knew he was guaranteed for Song Jiang Industry University, so he didnât bother to check.
âThis was so unfortunate!â Yang Ming said with pity for him. But he scolded in his heart, Ha! Youâre the typical example of â you reap what you sow [2].
âNever mind. What about you? You should be getting good results. So which university are you planning to go?â w.a.n.g Zhitao wasnât happy. I underperformed because of you!
âIâm going to Song Jiang Industry University, so is Zhang Bing, who is going to XX college of the combined school in Song Jiang Industry University.â Yang Ming said, âWhat about you? Ready to repeat your studies for another year?â
âHe, that is such a coincidence. Then the three of us are cla.s.smates again because Iâm going to XX college of the combined school in Song Jiang Industry University too.â w.a.n.g Zhitao said in his mind. Going to the same school with such a G.o.d of plagues like you is f***ing bad luck!
âCan you go to the combined school with your results? This is such a shame. Youâre different from Zhang Bing. You have the strength. Itâs just you didnât perform well. I believe that if you repeat Grade 12 next year, you shouldnât have a problem for Tsinghua University!â Yang Ming intended to mock w.a.n.g Zhitao. Even if he had the strength, it was still useless if he couldnât get the score.
However, w.a.n.g Zhitao got a different meaning from it. He thought Yang Ming was sincerely comforting him. He felt strange about it, yet he said sincerely, âThank you for your concern, but Iâm going to inherit my family business. So any university is the same for me. Itâs just an experience in life!â
Heh, I was waiting for this! Yang Ming laughed in his heart. I donât want you to go to Tsinghua University! Iâm ready to take my revenge on you, so itâs better that youâre closer to me! If you had gone to another state, who would pay my travel expenses?
âYouâre right. Your parents have more or less the same idea as Zhang Bingâs family. His family also planned for the same thing.â Yang Ming nodded his head.
âZhang Bing, I never knew that your family was quite well off too. Chrysler 300c, although it didnât cost as much as my Mercedes-Benz, itâs still a good car!â w.a.n.g Zhitao tapped on Zhang Bingâs shoulder and said with a laugh.
r.e.t.a.r.d. Zhang Bing scolded in his mind. Trying to act phony with me! But Zhang Bing didnât say it because w.a.n.g Zhitaoâs family was very rich.
The three of them came to the long-lost cla.s.sroom. They met previous cla.s.smates and greeted each other. People with good results asked about otherâs results; whereas people with poor results could only sigh in the corner.
All in all, the atmosphere of the cla.s.sroom was quite harmonic because they didnât have the anxiety from the National Higher Education Entrance Examination. Besides, everyone looked refreshed after the holiday.
Yang Ming separated from w.a.n.g Zhitao once they reached the cla.s.sroom. w.a.n.g Zhitao was the person who was more popular, and he was a cla.s.s monitor, so he became the focus of the crowd.
As for Yang Ming, he belonged to the group of bad students. Although he improved his results a lot, people rarely talked to him because of his notoriety.
âYang Ming, Chen Mengyan is sitting right there. You donât want to communicate your feelings?â Zhang Bing pointed at Chen Mengyan who wasnât far.
âCommunicate about what?â Yang Ming smiled bitterly. He didnât know what to do. But subconsciously, he never planned to give up on Chen Mengyan. If not, he wouldnât enroll in Song Jiang Industry University. Based on Yang Mingâs current results, he had no problem with registering at Beijing University.
âI donât really get you, bro. Is it because of Lan Ling? Are you honestly that loyal?â Zhang Bing asked with a doubt, âDonât tell me you donât like Chen Mengyan anymore?â
âStop thinking nonsense. Itâs not what you think, actually IâŚâ Yang Ming spoke halfway then he saw Chen Mengyan standing behind Zhang Bing!
Chen Mengyan was happy to see Yang Ming come into the cla.s.sroom. So she was sitting there waiting for Yang Ming to talk to her, but even after she waited for a long time Yang Ming still hadnât gone over! Chen Mengyan was anxious. Is he still angry with me? Was he that sensitive?
Girls are usually reserved, but itâs normally when they didnât truly love someone with their whole heart! Once they had someone in their heart, the coat of reservedness will be broken because of it.
Chen Mengyan really hated Yang Ming. Why? Werenât you a male chauvinist before this? You were so obedient when you were pursuing me! Now youâre indifferent to me after you got me. This is p*ssing me off!
Although she was just angry, Chen Mengyan couldnât give up on this relations.h.i.+p anymore. She hesitated for a while and decided to actively approach Yang Ming, just like when she asked him questions last time.
