Rebirth of the Pampered Wife's Daily Life CH2

Chapter 2: Deskmates

After the class was over, the mathematics teacher didn't even give those two a glance, directly walking away.

Once the teacher left, Xu Lang naturally wouldn't stand still outside the door anymore.

When walking back into the classroom, a male classmate was just moving their desk, while moving the desk making an uproar, "Lao zi [1], have been not wanting to sit next to that fat woman! You guys don't know, she doesn't even wear socks......"

Another male classmate on the side echoed, "Where do we not know, we can clearly see it."

Xu Lang especially wanted to smoke this group of sons of a bear [2].

F**kers, their ignorant youth can directly be regarded as simple and straightforward.

Xu Lang looked at Xia Teng who as before still had her head lowered, walking back to her seat, as if she had not heard any of it, but in fact, Xu Lang didn't miss seeing her stiff back.

No matter how powerful Xia Teng would become later on, now in the end she was only a teenage girl stepping into puberty. Would get embarrassed being watched by those eyes, would get uncomfortable hearing those words.

The male classmate who was moving the desk moved it next to the teacher's lecture table.

Xu Lang looked over at Xia Teng who was sitting alone at the corner, because of the reason that the other person moved away, it was like they got cut off, Xu Lang stood up, moving with his desk towards the last roll.

Everyone in the class looked over one after the other, quieting down.

At that moment, there was only the sound of Xu Lang moving his table.

But no one gossiped about Xu Lang.

After all Xu Lang has always been aloof, if this aloofness showed in other classmates, they would probably be unpopular, but Xu Lang wasn't only the first in the entire grade, he was also tall and handsome, this kind being aloof, would only add to his personal charms.

So, Xu Lang was basically the topic that would cover most of the girl's chats at night.

When Xu Lang sat down, he could feel the person next to him stiffened for a bit, the hand that was once writing stopped at once, then continued writing again, as if nothing had happened at all.

At this time, a female classmate walked over, speaking out, "Xu Lang, I have something to say to you."

"Talk." Xu Lang raised his eyes looking at the girl, not feel any familiarity, thus saying so.

"Xu Lang, let me tell you, don't overdo things, if you overdo them, be careful that Tian Tian would really ignore you." the girl said full of righteous indignation.

Xu Lang frowned his brows, who was Tian Tian?

That girl as if completing her task, returned to her seat, at this moment, Xu Lang saw the girl who was talking with the other girl look over.

Xu Lang had no impression of her, which meant that she wasn't anyone important.

Because he moved desks, he went to the office to report it to the class teacher, the reason used was, "I'm too tall, affecting the people behind me from seeing the blackboard, luckily the last row just had an empty spot, so I moved there."

The class teacher asked why there was an empty space at the last row, Xu Lang replied that someone moved next to the lecture table.

After the class teacher reminded Xu Lang to keep up his grades, he also agreed to Xu Lang sitting at the last row, because Xu Lang was actually too tall.

Returning to the classroom, he saw the girl that had just talked to him sitting in his seat, with unkind eyes, saying something to Xia Teng.

Xu Lang only heard the last sentence, "Don't wish to eat swan meat as a toad [3]."

Seeing him come in, that girl was not embarrassed one bit getting caught, instead she held her head high leaving proudly with spirit. 

Xu Lang wiped his seat that got sat on by someone else.

Then he passed over the leather gloves that were in his desk to Xia Teng next to him.

Xia Teng did not want it, saying softly, "My hands are too swollen, they won't fit."

Xia Teng's voice and was the same as how she looked, there was a certain cautiousness in the tone that couldn't be rid of, scared that she might say something wrong.

Xu Lang looked at Xia Teng's hands that were similar to a steamed bun, in his heart he felt an inexplicable pain.

After Xia Teng became an actress, she never acted as a rich big miss, most of the characters were from some village or their backgrounds weren't good in some way, there were many people that enjoyed mocking her pair of hands, saying that it could naturally showcase a village girl's life.

But at this moment, Xu Lang felt some pain in his heart, after all, the Xia Teng right now, was only a seventeen-eighteen-year-old little lady.

At the time that Xu Lang was reborn, he was already nearing forty years old, from what Xu Lang sees, Xia Teng who was seventeen-eighteen-years-old, was just that of a little lady, if he were to have married and had kids, they would probably be around Xia Teng's age.

Xu Lang also didn't insist.

Taking back the gloves, as, it really didn't seem to fit.

During class time, Xu Lang found that, Xia Teng was really focused, even though it so cold, and her hands were swollen, she still held on to her pencil taking down notes, paying rapt attention in class.

Xu Lang remembered that she also didn't finish high school in his previous life, why was it that a girl who loved to study so much, didn't finish high school?

High school dropout. It was also one of the constant black material that she got denounced over, but she never came out to say the specific reason for what happened.

………………………………………………

Eating in the canteen during the afternoon.

Xu Lang had just finished his meal, when a boy sat next to him, "Brother, you've got courage, even daring to pick a fight with bald a** Li.

Xu Lang only knew that the boy was in the same class as him, as for who exactly he was, he wasn't too sure.

"But, why are you sitting at the last row next to that ugly girl, is it really like what Gu Li was saying, are you trying to stimulate Tian Tian?"

Xu Lang was puzzled, who exactly was this Tian Tian?

Right at this moment, two girls also sat over, one of them was Gu Li.

"Tian Tian, do you want to drink soup, I am going to pour some soup, I will bring you a bowl." That Gu Li said.

So this girl was Tian Tian.

Xu Lang looked at the other party, he had no impression of her at all.

"Then thank you." Tian Tian replied.

"Li Yong, you come with me." Gu Li called out.

The one who was just conversing with Xu Lang was called Li Yong.

Li Yong glanced at Tian Tian, then glanced over at Xu Lang, immediately saying "Yes!"

Xu Lang looked at Tian Tian whose face was all red, he wasn't some dumb little boy, immediately understanding what was going on.

Before Tian Tian could say anything, Xu Lang put down his chopsticks, "I'm full, you guys take your time to eat."

Taking his dinner plate he left.

It wasn't wrong that he didn't have any impression of his high school life, but he was certain that,  during his time in high school, he never had any special interest for a girl.

And him now, was even less likely to.

After leaving the canteen, he remembered that pair of swollen hands, he was originally about to return to the classroom, but he changed his route, heading to the school's health center.

Xu Lang took medicine for frostbite, and then went to the market to buy two pieces of bread.

Right now was the time when the boy was still growing, at first he left too early, he wasn't full yet.

Returning to the classroom, he found that Xia Teng was still in the classroom.

During the afternoon at school, resident students usually all head back to the dorms to sleep, while non-resident students go back home to eat, and sleep.

Xia Teng was a resident student.

Xu Lang was a non-resident student, but because even if he went back he wouldn't have anything to eat, he simply decided to take care of it while being at the school.

It was really quiet inside the classroom, there was only Xia Teng at the corner.

Xu Lang's footsteps didn't make Xia Teng raise her head to see who it was.

Xu Lang sat down, and noticed that Xia Teng was correcting her homework according to the answer key, because the frostbite was so serious, the hand that was holding the pencil was shaking, Xu Lang removed the outer packaging of the frostbite ointment, then unscrewed it open, handing it over to Xia Teng, "I will help you correct your homework, you can apply on this frostbite ointment."

Because Xia Teng didn't have the money to have her homework corrected, the teachers didn't accept her homework, and didn't correct it.

Xia Teng stopped, "No need." After saying so she didn't know if what she said was offensive, quickly saying a bit more, "Thank you."

Xu Lang directly took over her homework and answer key, then passed over the frostbite ointment, "Or are you saying you want me to apply it on for you?"

"No......no need." In an instant Xia Teng's face redden, stammering.

Xu Lang lowered his head, focusing on correcting Xia Teng's homework.

Xia Teng was dull for a bit, but found that Xu Lang didn't pay any attention to her, and instead focused on correcting her homework, she picked up the frostbite ointment and started applying it on.

Xu Lang was a bit surprised.

Because Xia Teng was really serious in class, and really serious when she took notes, so naturally he thought that Xia Teng's grades were probably pretty good.

But different from what he thought, as he was correcting, the piece of paper, was full of red notes.

What made people even more surprised was that, Xia Teng's paper was completely filled, there was not even one empty answer box.

This was science. Science was different from liberal arts. Not knowing even one of the answers, and still being able to fill up all the answer boxes this was also a skill.

Xia Teng finished applying on the frostbite ointment, looking at her own hands that were purplish-red swollen like a steamed bun, turning her head she saw Xu Lang's hand holding a pen, distinct knuckles, slender but carrying strength, for the first time ever she had an inexplicable feeling of shame, even when she was getting humiliated by the teacher, she never had this feeling of shame.
