Qingteng's Mind - Middle School Era

Chapter 1216 Friends

Seventy-nine?

Less than fifty places away from me!

  Could it be that Tan Lin was encouraging herself?

Bah, bah, bah, what is she thinking? She doesn’t have the nerve to do that!

Gu Yue walked to the dormitory in a daze, and habitually looked towards the bed in the northeast corner. She saw Tan Lin, who always arrived early, sitting calmly on the bed packing clothes.

When she was hesitating about how to start, Tan Lin smiled and said to her, "Not bad, your grades have improved again this time."

  Tan Lin already knows the ranking!

Gu Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, you are still in the top 100."

Tan Lin smiled slightly: "Well, you can do it too."

Hmm? Gu Yue was slightly startled. When she saw the smile on Tan Lin's face, her heart skipped a beat. Did Tan Lin already know that she wanted to be in the top 100? So, she deliberately dropped down? To help her?

  Her face, is their friendship really that deep? Or did someone tell her something?

Gu Yue thought about it again and again. Her mother only came once at the beginning of the first year of high school and never saw Tan Lin again. As for her brother, he was in Lingnuo Middle School and she only saw him once at the end of every month. How could it be possible?

What was the situation that made Tan Lin say that?

"Keep working hard, you will achieve the ranking you want," Tan Lin laughed, "You are well-balanced in Chinese, math and English, and you don't have any bias. If you spend a little more time memorizing the key knowledge points in biology and politics, you should be able to get into the top 100."

Gu Yue was stunned. Her biology and political science scores were indeed weaker than other subjects, fluctuating around 70 points.

"During the evening self-study, I'll lend you my textbook. It contains the knowledge points I summarized, and you can refer to it to supplement your knowledge." Tan Lin put the collected clothes in the box under the bed, took the toiletries and basin and walked towards Gu Yue.

  "Thank you, but," Gu Yue looked confused, "you..."

Although she and Tan Lin were always walking together by Chen Chen, they were not as familiar with each other as their classmates said.

On the contrary, she didn't know Tan Lin well, and they were usually quite polite to each other. They rarely exchanged ideas on study. Occasionally, she would come across questions that she didn't know how to answer or was unsure about, but before she could ask Tan Lin for help, Chen Chen would get there first. He would either turn around to discuss the question with her, or ask Tan Lin, or just take Tan Lin's homework book and start looking through it, talking as he read, or even take it to her and show her how to do it.

Thus, the occasional inability and uncertainty were also resolved.

  Now, Tan Lin actually took the initiative to show goodwill?

She was suddenly a little flattered!

"Chen Chen is right. We should help each other," Tan Lin smiled. "Boys can help each other. What's more, we are good friends."

Good friends? Gu Yue's hand holding the backpack strap trembled a little, and she suddenly felt a lump in her throat as she watched Tan Lin walk towards the dormitory door.

  She is narrow-minded!

It turns out that Tan Lin has always treated her as a good friend!

  How could she forget that Tan Lin was a noble and aloof girl, unlike Chen Chen!

Gu Yue sniffed, took two steps at a time, and rushed to the dormitory door: "Thank you, my good friend."

Hearing the voice, Tan Lin turned around to look at her, smiled slightly, and walked into the public washroom.

Gu Yue sniffed, turned back to her bed, put her backpack on the bed, stood looking at the backpack for a while, suddenly laughed, wiped her nose with her hand, happily opened the backpack, took out the fruits and snacks she brought, divided them into three portions, and placed them on Chen Chen and Tan Lin's beds respectively.

They are good friends!

From this moment on, she will also open her heart to her two good friends, Lana Chenchen and Tan Lin!

When Chen Chen rushed into the dormitory humming a song, the moment he saw her, he immediately rushed over and gave her a big hug. She didn't push Chen Chen away with a perfunctory smile like before. She stretched out her hand and gently hugged Chen Chen. The next second, she saw the smile on Chen Chen's face as bright as the sun outside the window. Before she could say anything, Chen Chen started yelling.

"Xiao Yueyue, you are amazing and have made progress again."

She nodded: "Yes, you too, we have all made progress."

However, her gaze involuntarily turned towards the dormitory door, and then towards the bed in the northeast corner, but Tan Lin dropped again.

"This is something worth being happy about." Chen Chen looked around and walked towards Tan Lin's bed. "Wow, you brought so many delicious foods. Let's eat some later."

After he finished speaking, he prepared to open the bag outside.

She really doesn't consider herself an outsider. Gu Yue pursed her lips and smiled: "You have some too, so you don't have to eat Tan Lin's."

"I have some too?" Chen Chen looked at Gu Yue with a look of surprise, and immediately ran to his bed, "Wow, there really are some, so many, did you give them to me?"

Without waiting for Gu Yue to say anything, he ran over again and said, "I know that Xiao Yueyue is the best."

  Gu Yue smiled, looking at Chen Chen's smiling face, and suddenly felt that she was very happy too!

It is really a happy thing to have such good friends.

But, Tan Lin, Gu Yue's smile faded, and he looked towards the bed in the northeast corner with a little worry: "Tan Lin..."

"Tan Lin? What happened to her?" Chen Chen followed Gu Yue's gaze and turned back in an instant, "Oh, yes, you mean the exam this time?"

Gu Yue nodded.

  She and Chen Chen were steadily improving and were happy, but Tan Lin's performance declined and she was inexplicably unhappy. Ever since she learned that Tan Lin's performance had declined, she had been inexplicably unhappy. Perhaps this was what good friends were, but she had not realized it before?

"I was worried before, but not now," Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief and patted Gu Yue's arm. "She already knows. She's not sad. She smiled and told me not to worry. She won't be sad."

Is this calmness? Or is it Buddhism? Gu Yue looked at Chen Chen in confusion: "It has dropped twice. If it drops again, it will be the 100th place."

"Ranking 100 isn't bad. There are more than a thousand people in our class. What's more, it's not even 100th place," Chen Chen spread his hands, "So, you don't have to worry."

Gu Yue nodded: "That's true."

  Was she being too harsh on Tan Lin or too lenient with herself?

"I'll go wash the apples and come back to eat them later. You pack up first and we'll go to the classroom together later." Chen Chen shook the apple in his hand and walked out. When he reached the door, he turned around and said, "Go earlier. I still have to borrow Tan Lin's chemistry and physics books and history books to draw key points."

After saying that, he disappeared at the dormitory door.

Hmm? Gu Yue stared at the empty dormitory door for a while, then smiled and lowered her head to continue packing the things in front of her.

Tan Lin has said that Chen Chen, she, and the three of them are good friends, so naturally, Chen Chen won't be left out!
