Rebirth: The Life of a Scholar

Chapter 53

Idiots are a very magical species. For Tang Xu, who has never been in contact with such people, a new door of his century has been opened.

This girl's name is Shen Xingyuan, and she is in the same grade as Tang Xu. At first, Tang Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with her, and it was quite normal when she moved in. But since she moved in, Tang Xu often feels that someone is staring at him. , Every time I look back, I don't see anything. This situation continues, making Tang Xu unconsciously afraid.

It wasn't until Tang Xu was reminded by Xu Ye that it was Shen Xingyuan.

So from then on, Tang Xu could see very clearly that Shen Xingyuan often followed him secretly, and also liked to take pictures with a camera. It turned into a strange aunt, Tang Xu couldn't understand.

It didn't take long for the whole courtyard to know about it. There are so many people who can't hide any secrets, and Shen Xingyuan's actions are so obvious that anyone with a bit of emotional intelligence can see something.

Afterwards, the dinner was not very soothing. A group of people liked to talk about him. Father Tang and Mother Tang were quite happy, and they took care of Shen Xingyuan more than before. Everyone thought that Father Tang and Mother Tang were raising a daughter-in-law for Tang Xu. Woolen cloth.

Tang Xu didn't have much energy to pay attention to this aspect. He went home to work every day after school. Occasionally, Shen Xingyuan would follow him back home with him. He thought it was okay to drop by, but the more troubled this matter became, the less restrained he was. , everyone thought they had acquiesced in the end, Tang Xu and Shen Xingyuan obviously said no more than ten sentences, how did it become that kind of relationship?

The dinner table was still lively that day, and everyone sat around the big round table. When Shen Xingyuan came in late, everyone enthusiastically gave her a seat and pushed her to Tang Xu's side. Shen Xingyuan thanked them shyly and cautiously. sit down.

Li Yan, who was sitting on the other side of Tang Xu, was a little angry at first, but he couldn't get angry because everyone was making a fuss, so he poked at the rice in the bowl angrily and muttered, "I've lost my appetite."

Bai Liangshu poked his arm to tell him not to talk too much. Anyone who knew Tang Xu knew that he didn't care at all. His mind was all on study and work. Tang's parents and Tang's mother could see it too. Yes, but a little girl can't be too embarrassing, no, so the two elders took good care of Shen Xingyuan.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was not bad, and the topic soon turned to Tang Xu and Shen Xingyuan.

In fact, the little girl is quite innocent. She thinks that Tang Xu let her father and mother treat her so well. This shows that Tang Xu should also like her a little bit, but Tang Xu has not paid much attention to her, which makes her very entangled. Is this the legendary indulgence of lust?After a long time, Shen Xingyuan also thought about taking the initiative to talk to Tang Xu, but she was shy and embarrassed, and she still couldn't say a few words.

Today's topic is a bit hot, and those two male students even said that they want Tang Xu to have a wedding in the future. Don't forget them. The boy snorted coldly: "Can't you eat well, don't you know how to eat without talking, and sleep without talking!"

The two male students were so frightened that they clicked their tongues and dared not say any more, but at this moment Tang Xu suddenly looked up at them: "Stop talking nonsense about things that you don't have in the future. Talking about your nonsense." His expression was a little serious.

To be honest, Tang Xu is usually polite to people and everyone thinks he is easy to get along with. During this time, everyone has been joking for a long time and almost forgot that Tang Xu is their landlord. Now everyone knows that Tang Xu like this is annoying Hurry up, shut up all of them, you can't talk nonsense anymore in the future.

After the meal, the meal was very quiet. Shen Xingyuan, who was sitting next to Tang Xu, was shrunk. After the meal, it was time for everyone to disperse. She hadn't left yet. Waiting for myself in the living room.

"What's the matter?" Tang Xu walked over and asked. He actually didn't hate Shen Xingyuan, but he didn't have any other thoughts. As a landlord, he still had to care about his tenants occasionally, that's all.

"Well, can we go out and talk?" Shen Xingyuan's voice was very soft and trembling.

Tang Xu looked at the clock on the wall, it was still early, so he nodded, and followed Shen Xingyuan to the garden in the backyard. It was summer, and there were a lot of flowers and plants in the backyard, which attracted a lot of mosquitoes, especially in the dark night. Tang Xu was bitten a few times as soon as he entered, Shen Xingyuan didn't seem to care much, she stood there and took a deep breath.

Li Yanbai, Liang Shu and Xu Ye sneaked behind them at a place they didn't know, and when they saw them entering the backyard, they lay down by the wall and eavesdropped.

"...I was also a student of Dehui before, you don't need to know me...I didn't expect to be able to enter University B with you, I thought you would go to University A..." Shen Xingyuan turned her back to Tang Xu and did not speak to him Chance, took a deep breath and continued with trembling lips: "I know, I am very ordinary and have many shortcomings, but I have liked you for three years..."

The overheard trio exploded.

Li Yan: "Fuck! Tangtang is being confessed!!"

Xu Ye: "Just be confessed, okay?"

Bai Liangshu: "...Didn't we think of this possibility when we came to eavesdrop?"

It turned out that only Li Yan exploded.

Tang Xu didn't expect to be confessed, and was stunned for a moment. He had never experienced this kind of situation in his previous life or this life. He always thought that no one would like his character.

"In the past three years, I have been working hard to get in touch with you, and I have continuously improved my academic performance. I hope to be as good as you, and I want to stand at the same height as you, but you are really good at studying. I can't keep up with you. On... I thought you would be admitted to University A, my first choice was University A, but my score was not enough, and I was finally admitted to my second choice... I cried and made a fuss, but I didn't expect you to apply for University B... I think it's fate, we're in the same school again... Then you start renting an apartment, I can't control myself..." Shen Xingyuan almost told all about her secret love, which she wanted wholeheartedly for The process of becoming a better person.

"Renting a house to live with you, I can see you every day, even if you don't talk to me, I will feel very good sitting in the yard, walking behind you and stepping on your footsteps to go back to the courtyard is like being with me You go out and go in together, I am starting to get confused, is it really possible for me to be with you..."

Tang Xu listened quietly, his face was a little hot, no matter what, these were the sincere words of a girl, although it didn't feel great to him, it was enough to embarrass him, he was not greedy for the feeling of being liked, he He has no idea about Shen Xingyuan, and if he doesn't have it now, he probably won't have it in the future, so he doesn't want her to go on like this.

"It's a pity, such a good girl." Li Yan silently wiped away the bitter tears for Shen Xingyuan.

"It would be nice if Tang Xu liked her too." Xu Ye really thought it was good.

Shen Xingyuan is also going all out, she has liked the person for so many years, she finally mustered up the courage to confess, since she has confessed, she wants to figure it out no matter what: "I want to know what you think..."

"I'm sorry, but I can't respond to your love. You deserve someone better." These words are some love stories that Tang Xu saw when he was reading novels. This shouldn't hurt a girl who doesn't have any malice.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and Shen Xingyuan lowered her head and trembled and let out a soft sob: "Well...it's okay, just let me be quiet."

Tang Xu looked at her and didn't dare to come forward to comfort her or something. There is a good saying that excess tenderness will only make people hallucinate. Tang Xu didn't want Shen Xingyuan to misunderstand anything: "Okay, there are many mosquitoes here, so hurry up after calming down." Go back and rest." After turning around and leaving, the crying behind him suddenly increased, Tang Xu sighed and quickened his pace, at this moment he felt that he was too heartless.

The trio eavesdropped in the dark and saw Tang Xu leaving and ran away in despair. It's better not to disturb the girl crying or something.

Back in the room, Tang Xu sat in front of the computer for a long time, thinking of what Shen Xingyuan said just now, he couldn't help thinking, is liking someone so persistent...

The scene of staying with Ji Rong in the library in the first year of high school suddenly appeared in his mind, how many times his heartbeat was weird because of the beauty brought by Ji Rong, but, isn't that the longing for Ji Rong... The difference between longing and liking Tang Xu can still tell the difference, so Shen Xingyuan is just yearning for someone like him, so it doesn't count as liking...

don't count...

Thinking of this, Tang Xu couldn't help sliding the mouse to open the mailbox. Ji Rong hasn't sent him an email for a long time, is it because he asked when he will be back?Or, he just forgot to reply, and he will reply someday when he thinks about it.

Today's Tang Xu was obviously in a state of confusion. He created a new email, mentioned the matter of today's confession a little bit, and wrote a lot of daily emails to Ji Rong. He felt that he was also quite strange, Ji Rong was very important to him, like a brother, although they had become less close these years, but as long as he was alive Ji Rong's position in his heart would never decline.

It's his obsession with Ji-jung.

The next day when Shen Xingyuan was eating breakfast, the other people made fun of her horrible appearance of being bitten by mosquitoes. Tang Xu and Li Yan couldn't laugh, but Shen Xingyuan was quite generous and laughed along with her, saying that she used mosquito repellent incense. I forgot to buy it when it was over. I was bitten by mosquitoes and didn't sleep all night. The red and swollen eyes were well explained.

In fact, many people are well aware that this girl was probably sad and cried all night because of what happened at the dinner table yesterday, but girls also have self-esteem, and no one will expose her.

The days went on like this, Shen Xingyuan never went to school with Tang Xu again that day, and she spent more time with her girlfriends, although seeing Tang Xu every day was still uncomfortable, but she felt much more relaxed than before, at least She doesn't have to think about it anymore.

After this episode passed, Tang Xu participated in the national college student mathematics competition. Anyone who wants to challenge can sign up independently, but the school needs honor, so the top three selected must participate. This is the competition between schools.

Tang Xu, as the school's internal champion, is highly favored by teachers and students. The pressure is great, so he has been doing math problems before the competition. He is constantly using his brain to dig out the limit. Generally speaking, national exams must be very difficult. It's difficult, if he wants to get the ranking, he must not take it lightly.

It was true that Tang Xu worked very hard in those few days, but he performed very well on the day of the competition. He did not hesitate to do a paper, and the two hours passed quickly.

The results of the competition will be announced in four days, and various media and newspaper offices have also made some preparations. During this period, a newspaper office published the situation of students from various prestigious schools. Tang Xu was also mentioned by the newspaper office once. Gao, most of the children who didn't participate in the competition were looking forward to publishing the results of the competition as soon as possible, and some were waiting to see Tang Xu's jokes. It is impossible for one person to get everyone's approval.

Seeing that his son reported to Tang's father and Tang's mother, he was very excited. He went to the newsstand and almost bought all the newspapers home. Happy he is happier than his parents.

Four days later, the results were announced, and Tang Xu won the championship of the national college student mathematics competition by two points, and immediately became the front page of several newspapers. B University also stood out from all kinds of famous schools, further consolidating its status as a famous school.

But I also applied for the saying that there are many people who are popular, and Tang Xu's college entrance examination results were also picked up. In fact, Tang Xu's college entrance examination results were not very outstanding. His scores are completely enough to enter the famous schools, but not like the high school entrance examination. Squeezed into the top ten in the country, but slipped to the top [-]. Although he won the top score in the college entrance examination in City K, he was not as enthusiastic as the high school entrance examination. All in all, this ranking is not impressive.

In fact, what Tang Xu wants is to be admitted to B University. No matter how high his score is, he still wants to enter B University, so he didn't try so hard to pass the college entrance examination with a perfect score. A lot of trouble.

The award ceremony was held at B University on the day when the certificates and prizes were presented. Many media cameras came. The principal naturally gave a long speech. Then Tang Xu stood upright on the podium to receive the trophies and certificates. The school also gave Tang Xu a bonus , Tang Xu bent down to accept the polite and soft thank you principal, and finally the whole ceremony ended when Tang Xu took a photo with several senior officials of the school.

It can be said that Tang Xu became popular in China. For a few days, his posters were everywhere. Many media dug up his family background to make a fuss, just like the time of the high school entrance examination, to gain people's attention and discussion , and some media kept beautifying and strengthening Tang Xu, saying that Tang Xu is an inspirational evolutionary theory. From the young man at the beginning to the calm and unhurried appearance of a schoolmaster, he perfectly interprets the changes in his life.

Of course, it is very detrimental for a person to be beautified too much. All kinds of discussions surround the Tang family, and the courtyard of the Tang family has also become their focus. After all, the conditions of the Tang family were so poor at the beginning. It is doubtful that I can afford a courtyard house, but it has been almost a year since I bought this house. During this year, the house price has suddenly risen, and the land price of the courtyard house has far exceeded the original purchase price. .

Tang Xu's part-time job is not a secret. You don't need to inquire about many things. The students who support Tang Xu in B University will automatically tell them. In addition, the students who went to Dehui High School with Tang Xu before are not idle. For a while, Tang Xu There are more and more topics, and his language proficiency is astonishing. Various newspapers and periodicals have written several columns on Tang Xu, and some people even gave Tang Xu a shocking nickname: Human Body Science Overlord In addition, Li Yanbai, Liang Shu, Xu Ye, and Wang Linhao couldn't understand other people's black Tang Xu, so they spread some news on the Internet intentionally or unintentionally, and it didn't take a day for it to spread.

The National University Mathematics Contest, which was not regarded as a national attention, was not stopped by the media and people from all walks of life for a week. Tang Xu became the darling of the media and newspapers.

Since then, Tang Xu felt that life was inconvenient. Even though he was just an ordinary student, he was surrounded by aunts asking for the secret of studying even when he went to the supermarket...

A few days later, when Lin Ziyang heard that Tang Xu was famous, he called Tang Xu to express his condolences. Since he joined the national team and participated in one or two games, he soon became a professional basketball star. He created a bib account that is popular among young people, so it is impossible for him to sit still in this situation, and the anger that had just calmed down a little bit was provoked by him again.

Lin Ziyang v: Hey buddies, I didn't expect you to be more popular than me in the competition. No, I want to use your popularity to make my name famous. Hello, I am Tang Xu's brother. [Group photo of the two of them going to the barbecue that time] Fan 1: Damn your intestines were so tender back then! !

Fan 5: Now you are a bad old man! !Ask for a recent photo! !

Fans: 10: Tang Xu actually knew Lin Ziyang! !what happened! !

Fan 65: I'm in the same high school as Tang Xu, so I can only tell you that I don't know how they met...

Fan 120: Wait, Dehui 06 graduates, do you still remember the male god Ji Rong by the Daming Lake?At that time, the male god took good care of Tang Xu and came to qwq, so he introduced it. Fan 200: Ji Rong?What the hell, ask for popular science! !

Fans 500: All the old things have been picked up, I really miss Dehui when Ji Rong's senior was there Fans 700: I also miss Ji Rong's male god qwq After going abroad, there is no news The battle of gods began, Ji Rong's photos back then were posted on the Internet, which caused all kinds of exclamations, nympho appeared one after another, and someone even uploaded a secret photo of Tang Xu and Ji Rong in the same frame, and the Internet was overwhelmed in an instant. Occupied by the noun "xueba", all the nerds are wailing, even if they are handsome, they are still so good at studying, and even if they are so good at studying, they are still so good at studying...

When Tang Xu was notified by Wang Linhao, he was already powerless. Photos of him and Ji Rong in the same frame were flooded everywhere on the Internet. Tang Xu had no choice but to right-click and save those group photos that he had never seen before.

However, several other weibo posts popped up amidst the nympho sound. Tang Xu froze when he found them. Looking at those photos, he was a little panicked and confused, his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, and his fingertips trembled even more.

Miguo Fuqiu: Ah, why does Ji Rong, who is popular on the Internet recently, look like my boss? Is my boss called Ji Rong... Forgive me, as a new employee, I don’t know what my boss’s Chinese name is, I will ask you another day. [Photo] [Photo] [Photo] [Photo] In the photo, Tang Xu, a man in a suit and leather shoes and wearing silver-rimmed glasses, looking through the documents carefully, recognized at a glance that it was Ji Rong, although he had not received Ji Rong for more than three years He took a selfie, but he couldn't forget Ji Rong's facial features, that face had been fully opened, turning into a charming mature Asian man's face.
