Rebirth: The Life of a Scholar

Chapter 19

In many cases, the relationship between people is so unclear.

When Ji Rong said this, Tang Xu instantly felt that the pen in his hand was extremely hot, and his face was alternately white and red. He wanted to explain but didn't know what to say, so he could only frown in a hurry.

Just when Ji Rong thought he would keep silent forever, Tang Xu finally hesitated and said: "No, I just want to thank you... I know you are not lacking, but I don't know what to give, please be sure. I want to accept it, I...I..."

At the end Tang Xu didn't know what to say, and he didn't dare to look at Ji Rong at all.

Staring at Tang Xu like this for a long time, Ji Rong sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand to take the pen, and rubbed the body of the pen with Tang Xu's body temperature: "If you still want me to teach you, don't send these things in the future. , let’s not take this as an example.”

Seeing Ji Rong accepting the gift, Tang Xu blinked for a moment, looked up into Ji Rong's eyes and smiled: "Yeah."

The face-to-face distance is just enough for Tang Xu to look into his eyes clearly through the thin lenses. This is the first time Tang Xu has seen Ji Rong's eyes clearly. They are peach blossom eyes, and the slightly upturned corners of the eyes are obviously cold. But there is still a faint temptation, and the brown eyes seem to be covered with a layer of mist and brilliance.

Tang Xu was fascinated for a moment, he couldn't imagine what Ji Rong would look like without this pair of glasses, but it would undoubtedly look better.

"You... so pretty..."

What Tang Xu said inadvertently woke him up in an instant, and he leaned on the sofa in a panic, thinking that a man was good-looking, and he said that in front of him... Tang Xu really wanted to bite his tongue !

Ji Rong didn't expect Tang Xu's jumping thinking to come out like this. Ever since he was a child, Ji Rong didn't like people to use the words "beautiful" to describe his appearance. He is a man. If someone says he is handsome, he will be happy. What he accepted was that Tang Xu said what he hated the most in the past. Ji Rong didn't feel the slightest bit of displeasure, but felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

"It's almost time for class, let's go." Ji Rong was in a good mood and didn't bother with this problem. If it was Wang Linhao, he would probably be lying on the ground and unable to get up now.

Tang Xu nodded obediently, packed up his things and followed Ji Rong out of the office like a daughter-in-law. Ji Rong didn't mention Tang Xu if he didn't pursue Tang Xu, thinking that he must never lose his composure again in the future!

Tang Xu quickly forgot about it after the two had their own thoughts. When they returned to the classroom, the students in the class looked at Tang Xu with eyes full of gossip. Tang Xu didn't care, but Bai Liangshu didn't seem to care. Thought about letting him go.

"I heard that you and Ji Rong closed the small dark room in the library at noon. What are you doing?" Bai Liangshu's expression and tone were very bad.

"Senior Ji Rong was teaching me how to pronounce English. It was too noisy outside, so I went inside." Tang Xu thought it was nothing, and said frankly to Bai Liangshu.

All the students who were eavesdropping on their ears suddenly showed envious expressions. All the teachers and students in the school knew how good Ji Rong's English was. He won consecutive championships and his spoken language was as standard as his mother tongue. So far, he has never heard of him. Anyone who has taught him will definitely get a full score in oral English after being taught by him. Besides, that is Ji Rong. How many people like to chase after him, even if he stays by his side and listens to him speak English in that voice happiness.

In addition to envy, the girls are still a little sour, and they have never stopped being jealous.

"He taught you? Why did he suddenly teach you English?" Bai Liangshu frowned. When did Ji Rong and Tang Xu get along so well?

"I don't know, Wang Linhao suggested it, so I asked, and unexpectedly he agreed..." Tang Xu thought of the way Ji Rong stared at him last night, suddenly felt a chill, and had a bad feeling.

"You, alas, how long do you want to teach you? He may just be on a whim. If you have learned enough, don't let him teach you again. That kind of person is different from us." Bai Liangshu has been serious since just now. No smiles.

Tang Xu didn't understand why Bai Liangshu disliked Ji Rong so much, and couldn't help asking, "Xiaobai, do you have any misunderstandings about the senior..."

"What's the mistake, let you have less contact with less contact, why did he buy your heart just by teaching you once!?" Bai Liangshu was asked and glared at Tang Xu viciously. He was the first time in so long. Being so irritable to Tang Xu once, was always like that to Li Yan, a thick-skinned guy.

Tang Xu didn't flinch after being yelled at by Bai Liangshu, but instead smiled at him with a good temper: "No, I just think the seniors are pretty good, I know, I won't go when I've finished my studies, and the seniors don't." I'm busy, and I don't want to disturb him for too long."

"That's about the same, let's not talk about it, and we have to go to class." Bai Liangshu raised his eyebrows to look at Tang Xu's serious face and didn't say anything more.

In fact, Tang Xu felt a little uncomfortable after saying that. Ji Rong taught him because he wanted to be friends with him, but Tang Xu knew very well that they were completely two-sided people. Such a superior life is simply out of reach for Tang Xu, and Tang Xu's longing is also very ordinary, that is, to cure his father's illness and to support his parents, that's all.

At the same time, Tang Xu felt apologetic towards Ji Rong. Ji Rong didn't seem to be joking, and he didn't seem like Bai Liangshu's whim, but he never thought that he could really become friends with Ji Rong... Rong is very unfair, he feels sorry for Ji Rong's seriousness... and there is a feeling that he uses Ji Rong to learn knowledge...

In the next few days, although Tang Xu struggled, he still went to the library to report at noon every day, and stayed in the office with Ji Rong to study. In the evening, Ji Rong would still go to the dessert shop to concentrate on acting as his customer, and the two of them maintained the same distance as before. Hot, outsiders don't know that they don't know at all.

Tang Xu's oral English is getting better and better every day, and it sounds more pleasing to the ear. It is rare for Ji Rong to praise him for his quick learning. Tang Xu always smiles embarrassedly and says that he taught him well, but the two of them are also very good. You're welcome, just give each other a compliment and continue with the following teaching.

In this way, more than two weeks have passed, and Tang Xu's spoken language has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is now able to communicate with Ji Rong in English. Although there are still many shortcomings, he is already very fluent, and his tone of voice does not have that awkward feeling, which naturally has a tape-like texture.

And Tang Xu has been working in a dessert shop for more than a month. He spent more than 100 yuan to buy gifts and treats to dinner, so he didn’t send much money home. There was also a second-hand mobile phone and a letter in it, which roughly put him at school. The situation told the parents, and the method of using the mobile phone was also clearly written on it.

He has been away from home for a month and a half. He doesn't know the situation at home, but it must not be much better. The little money he sent back is nothing at all, not even enough for his father's medicine... Every time Tang Xu thinks of This is particularly worrying, but he has no choice but to study harder.
