She Is Brighter Than the Stars

Although Li Shubai didn’t name them, everyone knew who he were talking about, and expressions of watching the show appeared on their faces.

Who knew that Cheng Nian didn’t say anything, and became quiet obediently.

He Yunfei wanted to choke, but Cheng Nian pulled him and covered his mouth.

He looked at Li Shubai, finally swallowed his breath, and stared at the wall in a daze.

After class, Cheng Nian coaxed him for a while before he was willing to have dinner with her.

After eating, Cheng Nian went back to the dormitory.

Lao Chengtou felt sorry for his daughter and applied for a single dormitory for her.

Cheng Nian used to enjoy all this as a matter of course, but now her heart is full of gratitude, and she feels that he is simply the best father in the world.

With messy makeup on her face, Cheng Nian felt that she was going to die of suffocation, so she washed it clean after returning home.

After washing her face and changing her clothes, Cheng Nian walked towards the basketball court.

Before going back to the dormitory, she and He Yunfei made an appointment to meet there.

The basketball court was already full of people.

Cheng Nian still had a little interest in basketball, and would come to watch He Yunfei play whenever she had nothing to do, but she had never seen so many people.

She squeezed in from the edge of the crowd and stood at the innermost.

The moment Cheng Nian squeezed in, she regretted it. She didn’t know that Li Shubai was also playing.

The early summer wind blew gently, and the teenagers on the court were already covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Under the intense movement and collision, the lines on their bodies are looming. With the youthful atmosphere unique to teenagers, it is a bit brighter than the sun.

Everyone cheered from time to time, but Cheng Nian didn’t care what happened on the court at all.

After going around in a circle and finally finding a breakthrough, she immediately walked towards the gap, and suddenly heard someone shouting behind her.

“Be careful.”

Cheng Nian turned her head subconsciously, and felt a black object flying towards her face mixed with a gust of wind.

With a muffled “thump”, the basketball hit the boy standing behind Cheng Nian.

He Yunfei hurried over, looked at Cheng Nian nervously and said, “Are you okay?”

Cheng Nian shook her head, still not knowing what happened.

She didn’t react until she saw the crowd gathered around and the fat boy behind her covered his head and howled again.

Pushing her hair disheveled by the wind casually behind her ears, Cheng Nian patted her heart and suddenly said, “I was scared to death.”

Seeing that Cheng Nian was fine, He Yunfei walked up to Li Shubai with a cold face, raised his chin disrespectfully at him, and said in a deep voice, “What are you trying to do?”

There was no expression on Li Shubai’s handsome face. He glanced at Cheng Nian and said calmly, “I didn’t mean it.”

He Yunfei sneered, stretched out his index finger and poked Li Shubai’s shoulder forcefully, and said coldly, “You didn’t do it on purpose? Then I did do this on purpose either.”

As he spoke, he punched Li Shubai in the face.

Cheng Nian was startled and ran towards them.

Before Li Shubai had time to fight back, he was pulled away by the people on the court, and a red mark immediately appeared on his fair face.

He licked the corner of his mouth, straightened up and said coldly, “I didn’t see her at all.”

He Yunfei saw Li Shubai throw the ball there with his own eyes, so he raised his hand again, no matter how he quibbled.

Cheng Nian stood between the two in time.

The interest of the crowd was even higher than when they just watched the game. After all, who in the school did not know that Cheng Nian liked Li Shubai, and He Yunfei was Cheng Nian’s best friend.

The two had a dispute, and everyone wanted to see whose side Cheng Nian was on.

Cheng Nian first calmed He Yunfei’s emotions, then turned to face Li Shubai, and said sincerely with an apologetic face.

“Sorry.”

Although standing face to face, Cheng Nian didn’t look at Li Shubai’s face.

Perhaps the memory of her previous life was too cruel. When she saw that face now, she still couldn’t help but think of how she was tortured under him.

Even just standing like this, Cheng Nian’s fingers curled up tremblingly.

She exhausted all her strength and kept reminding herself that Li Shubai hadn’t turned black yet, so she barely stood still.

Everyone gasped, no one thought that Cheng Nian, who has always been domineering, would have a day to apologize.

Li Shubai’s eyes lightly placed on Cheng Nian.

Only some baby cream was applied on her delicate face, and the hair that was always loose on her shoulders was combed and tied behind her head, revealing a smooth forehead and big bright eyes.

Without the colorful makeup and graffiti-covered clothes, her whole person looks innocent and harmless, and she is completely like two different people.

He Yunfei gave Cheng Nian a hand, and said indignantly, “I saw him throw the ball at you.”

Cheng Nian patted him on the shoulder, winked and comforted He Yunfei, but said in her mouth.

“I don’t think Mr. Li did it on purpose. You are too impulsive.”

After Cheng Nian finished speaking, she turned around again, her eyes narrowed, with a polite and distant smile on her face.

“Is your face okay?”

Li Shubai’s eyes turned slightly, and he broke away from the people behind him. After saying “It’s okay”, he turned around and walked under the basketball hoop, picked up his clothes and left.

He Yunfei was furious, pointing at him and yelling: “Hey, you look so arrogant…”

Cheng Nian hurriedly stopped He Yunfei, looked away from the back, and comforted: “Forget it.”

On the way back to the classroom, He Yunfei still muttered unconvinced.

“Why…”

Cheng Nian turned sideways, covered He Yunfei’s mouth with her hand, and stopped him from speaking.

She frowned slightly, and said seriously: “In short, from now on, we will stay away from everything related to Li Shubai, understand?”

When He Yunfei’s lips touched Cheng Nian’s warm palm, it was as if he had been electrocuted.

Only then did he notice that Cheng Nian had no makeup on, and was still wearing a clean school uniform, looking fresh and cute.

He Yunfei responded blankly, waved his hand away unnaturally, forgot to ask why, and muttered: “Got it.”

Only then did Cheng Nian feel relieved.

Before going back to the classroom, they went to the supermarket to buy some pens and notebooks.

Sitting in the classroom with piles of notebooks in his arms, He Yunfei looked at the desk full of school supplies in front of him, and said suspiciously, “You’re not serious, are you?”

Cheng Nian raised his eyebrows, “Why not?”

She must win the praise of her family!

-•-

Tonight, Zhang Zheng, a chemistry teacher who is nearly 60 years old, is guarding them.

The old teacher will retire in a few years, and he is very concerned about the affairs of the students.

In her last life, he often advised Cheng Nian to study hard.

In another ten years or so, it must be the era of fighting for knowledge, which happens to be the golden age of these people.

Cheng Nian just laughed and laughed every time, and didn’t take it to heart at all.

Now that she thinks about it, she is simply a big fool who doesn’t know how appreciate someone’s kindness!

While Zhang Zheng was changing classes, Cheng Nian chased him out.

“Teacher, wait a minute.”

Cheng Nian shared her thoughts with Zhang Zheng, hoping to find a supplementary teacher through him.

Zhang Zheng was in a bit of a dilemma. Now that he was under strict investigation, the teachers in the school did not dare to stand up to the wind and commit crimes.

It’s rare that Cheng Nian is willing to learn. He didn’t want to dampen her enthusiasm. After thinking about it, he said.

“Well, if you don’t mind, my nephew is studying in a foreign high school. His grades are not bad. He can tutor you on Saturdays and Sundays. It happens that summer vacation is coming soon, and he has a lot of time.”

Cheng Nian’s eyes lit up, “The price.”

Zhang Zheng waved his hand, “Let’s just pay by the hour, and he will also be reviewing for you to make up your lessons.”

Cheng Nian bowed gratefully to Zhang Zheng, “Thank you teacher.”

Zhang Zheng gave Cheng Nian the address of his home, and made an appointment to go to his home to study every Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.

He Yunfei was so idle that his head was about to smoke, and when he saw Cheng Nian came back, he came over to ask.

“What did Lao Zhang say?”
