Chapter 322: A Talented Girl Has Her Own Sufferings Too
Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
Zhou Jiajia hated the man named w.a.n.g Zhitao in front of her. I was just talking to Yang Ming. What does it have to do with you? Itâs a good thing that I have to take a Cisco Systemsâ certification test in these next two days⊠Zhou Jiajia took the Cisco textbook on the table and turned to a random page. She looked for an experimental question that she couldnât remember and pointed to the question as she said to w.a.n.g Zhitao, âThis one. You can take a look at it and help me answer it.â
As Zhou Jiajia spoke, she tried to make her tone seemed more humble and innocent. Just like a good student waiting for the teacher to teach her.
âLet me have a look!â w.a.n.g Zhitao confidently extended his hand and took the textbook. As he was about to speak and his face immediately turn green! What is this? How come everything is in English?
w.a.n.g Zhitao looked at the top of the page. There were words like âhubâ and ârouter.â He could understand the two words when they were standalone, but he didnât know what it meant when the words were used together!
However, he had already blown his own trumpet. If he were to retreat now, wouldnât he be losing too much face? w.a.n.g Zhitao had no choice but to force himself to b llsh t through it, âThis⊠that⊠In the default case, the hub switch⊠all ports⊠will connect to different routersâ wiring⊠that⊠this VLAN⊠thatâŠâ
w.a.n.g Zhitao was only translating according to the English words he knew. But when those words were joined together, he didnât know what they meant! After translating for a long time, even he, himself, was confused. In the end, he could only say awkwardly, âThis question⊠it involved too many hardware problems. I have to study it carefully first. How about this? I will copy it down and a.n.a.lyze it, and then Iâll explain it to you.â
âSure.â Zhou Jiajia nodded right away.
w.a.n.g Zhitao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the book back to his desk. He then took out a notebook and copied the question. He thought that Zhou Jiajia would despise him, but he didnât expect her to agree to his proposal! Never did he know that Zhou Jiajia was deliberately speaking to him perfunctorily!
However, this question was really long. With the experimental pictures, it was about three pages long with about ten thousand English words! However, in order to act cool in front of the beauty, w.a.n.g Zhitao had to use the trick of copying text from his elementary school and quickly wrote it.
When Zhou Jiajia saw w.a.n.g Zhitaoâs eagerness to study the book, she couldnât help but laugh quietly with a pst sound. When Yang Ming saw Zhou Jiajia tricking w.a.n.g Zhitao, he couldnât help but grin and said, âI didnât think that you would be that bad!â
âWho made him so annoyingâŠâ Although Zhou Jiajia felt that Yang Ming wasnât complimenting her, at least he took the initiative to talk to her. Zhou Jiajiaâs still felt the sweetness in her heart.
âI have a few questions. Can I ask you?â Zhou Jiajia began to continue her conversation with Yang Ming before.
â Err ⊠regarding that Cla.s.smate Zhou Jiajia, the questions you asked are too difficult. Iâm aware that Iâm not up to that kind of standard, and neither do I have the habit of beating my face up to be a fat guy [1] in front of girls. So, let me be frank, I donât know.â Yang Ming said directly. F*ck, those few subjects that you tested w.a.n.g Zhitao with, how many in cla.s.s can actually understand it?
âNo, I actually know how to do that question. I did that deliberately to send him away.â Zhou Jiajia said, âActually, what I wanted to ask you is⊠erm âŠâ
Zhou Jiajia thought about it for a moment. Since Yang Ming was so frank, it would be better to find a simple one. So, she picked up the Beginner Computer Operation Textbook and then found a question for Yang Ming, âThis oneâŠâ
Yang Ming reluctantly glanced at the question that Zhou Jiajia pointed out: What is the format of an email address? There are four options for the line: [email protected], xxaxx.com, www.x.x.x.com, and [email protected]!
Yang Ming felt dizzy looking at this question. He looked up and stared at Zhou Jiajia, and his expression was like a person watching an idiot.
âThat⊠what happenedâŠâ Zhou Jiajia asked nervously.
âAre you an idiot or do you think Iâm an idiot?â Yang Ming said helplessly, âYou wanted to ask me this question?â
âToo difficultâŠ?â Zhou Jiajia asked carefully. Because she remembered that Yang Ming didnât come to cla.s.s often. Maybe he didnât even know this question?
Yang Ming broke into a cold sweat. He almost fell to the ground. This chick⊠Is there anyone else who was as humiliating as you? He could only say awkwardly, âZhou Jiajia, I donât know what are you trying to do. You know how to do this question. I donât believe you donât even know the format of an email address!â
âIâm just joking with youâŠâ Zhou Jiajia was blus.h.i.+ng a little. It seemed that I overdid it. If I knew that earlier, I would ask Yang Ming a similar question. But then, if Yang Ming didnât know how to do it, wouldnât it be awkward too?
âOkay, the joke is over. Itâs not funny at all.â Yang Ming shook his head, âThereâs nothing else, right? Iâm going to sleep if thereâs nothing else.â
âThis⊠that⊠IâŠâ Zhou Jiajia really had no other excuse anymore. As she was about to say there was nothing else, she was interrupted by w.a.n.g Xue, âJiajia, didnât you mention a cla.s.s reunion event to Yang MingâŠâ
â Oh , yes!â Zhou Jiajia suddenly remembered the news she saw on ChinaRen [2], and said, âYang Ming, there is still something else.â
âWhat?â Yang Ming wanted to sleep. After he heard Zhou Jiajiaâs words he looked up again, frowning.
âI just saw a news on ChinaRen. At the end of December, our junior high school students will be holding a cla.s.s reunion. Do you want to go?â Zhou Jiajia said.
âCla.s.s reunion? Junior high school cla.s.smates?â Yang Ming asked, turning his eyes.
âYeah, they are⊠our cla.s.smatesâŠâ Zhou Jiajia whispered.
âDidnât you know that I donât have any good friends in junior high school?â Yang Ming reb.u.t.ted instead.
ââŠthat, Iâm really sorry about what happenedâŠâ Zhou Jiajia sighed and said.
âThe past is the past. I have forgotten about it.â Yang Ming said casually, âLetâs talk about the gathering later.â
â Oh .â Zhou Jiajia nodded. With no choice, she knew of Yang Mingâs past too. Yang Ming didnât do well in junior high school and he skipped cla.s.s on most days. Speaking of friends, he probably only had Su Ya. However⊠since Yang Ming hadnât rejected it upfront, that proved that he might still go.
Yang Ming was actually just speaking to her half-heartedly, he only wanted to recharge his energy now. He still had a grand plan at night! The key to success or failure depended on tonight!
As for the junior high school gathering, it was a small matter. If there was nothing special going on, Yang Ming intended to go and see. Yang Ming remembered a boy named Sun Haoming who sat a row in front of him at the time. He treated me really well! When I went into despair, this kid had always advised me not to be discouraged, and to be responsible for my future!
As Yang Ming thought about it now, he still felt grateful to him! Although his words went in one ear and out the other, Yang Ming know that Sun Haoming actually cared for him!
I wonder what he was doing now? After attending senior high school, Yang Ming lost contact with him. Yang Ming remembered that afterward in school, the person whom he spoke the most to was him!
At that time, Sun Haoming was a good student. His grades were all in the top ten. Yang Ming was at about the same position before he went into despair. However ever since Yang Mingâs downfall, no one was willing to entertain Yang Ming. Only Sun Haoming tirelessly comforted me!
Thinking of all these past events, Yang Ming felt a little sentimental. He couldnât help but follow up with another question, âWhich day is the school gathering?â
â Ah ?â Zhou Jiajia felt excited. She said quickly, âDecember 26, the Friday night after Christmas!â
âAlright, got it. Remind me about it when the time is near again.â Yang Ming nodded and asked, âAlso, do you know Sun Haoming?â
âSun Haoming?â Zhou Jiajia shook her head and said, âIâm not sure. Would you like me to go back and ask for you?â
âYes, sorry to trouble you then!â Yang Ming said politely. As people gradually matured and grew, their childhood friends had gradually disappeared from their livesâŠ
âNo worries.â Zhou Jiajia was very happy. This way, she had another reason to continue sitting beside Yang Ming. Although she could continue to sit here with Yang Ming by relying on w.a.n.g Xueâs relations.h.i.+p with Tian Donghua, it felt like a shameless act. But it was different now, she now had a perfectly legitimate reason to reply to Yang Ming.
After that, Yang Ming continued to lie on the table and thought about the plan at night.
Zhou Jiajia wasnât in a hurry either. Hasty men donât get to eat hot tofu. Towering buildings are built up from the ground. You canât get to your goal by being hasty [3]! With a little progress each day, after a month, the relations.h.i.+p between the both of them would have a definite breakthrough!
Most importantly, even thinking of a sufficient reason to chat with Yang Ming already required a lot of effort for Zhou Jiajia! A talented girl had her own sufferings too! For the first time, Zhou Jiajia felt that there were more difficult things in this world than learning hacking techniques. That was romanceâŠ
