  Most students were respectful towards Xiao Rou, although they didn’t know the reason why themselves. Maybe it was because Xiao Rou excelled in both grades and appearance even though she came from the mountains, or maybe it was because of her family background. The former head teacher tried to pick on her, but instead of kicking Xiao Rou out of the school, she was fired by the school, and now no other school dared to hire her. For some reason, none of them refuted Chen Ziyan. They unconsciously believed that Xiao Rou could make it. She would definitely stun the audience with beautiful melodies in the upcoming art performance.

  Tang Xi smiled and dragged Chen Ziyan down to her seat, saying, “Review the English class. Don’t make trouble for me.”


  Chen Ziyan pursed her lips and said firmly, “What I said is true. You’re good.”


  Tang Xi shook her head with a smile. She was no longer sleepy, so she took out an album and began to paint some designs. Chen Ziyan leaned over curiously when she saw Tang Xi painting something on the paper. She wanted to clearly see what Tang Xi was creating using paint. Tang Xi took the album away, and looked at Chen Ziyan. “You can only see this after you memorize the vocabulary from this class.”


  Chen Ziyan pouted, but still turned to bury her head into the English textbook. At this time, Mr. He came over with ten paper slips, and asked Tang Xi to pick one. Tang Xi looked at the serious Mr. He and smiled before randomly picking one. She handed it to Mr. He. The other students all turned to look at her when they noticed this. Mr. He smiled at the curious students, and showed them the paper slip. “It’s the Wedding of the Dream, as you wished.”


  Tang Xi smiled. It was as she wished too. She hadn’t played this tune for years, and now she could finally play it again.

  Chen Ziyan looked at the faint smile on Tang Xi’s lips. Her smile was almost blinding, illuminated by the sunshine. Chen Ziyan couldn’t help but smile as well. She rested her chin on her hand and gazed at Tang Xi’s face. “You’re so beautiful. You look gorgeous when you smile like this.”


  Tang Xi paused and then gave a bright smile at the compliment. She rubbed Chen Ziyan’s hair and continued to paint on the paper. Chen Ziyan began to carefully review the class too.

  The twenty-minute morning self-study soon passed. Tang Xi put away her design drawings, took out her English textbook and was ready for the English class, when suddenly a person appeared in front of her. She looked up only to find Ning Ke was gazing at her unblinkingly. Tang Xi blinked and looked up at Ning Ke in surprise. She hesitated before asking, “What’s up?”


  Ning Ke pursed his lips, looked at Tang Xi and asked in a low voice, “I overheard my brother on the phone last night. He said you……”


  “Wait a minute. Let’s discuss about it after class, and in private, okay?” Tang Xi looked at this boy and complained about Ning Yan in her heart.

  Thinking of this, Tang Xi was a bit uneasy. If the students knew that she tried to defend Qiao Liang because she was his girlfriend, they would gossip about her again……

  Reaching this conclusion, Tang Xi rose to her feet. She felt it was necessary to have a good talk with this kid! He was thirteen years old, and he should be able to understand what she was talking about…… Yes, he would understand her! He was so clever, and had a high EQ, so she just needed to talk with him. He would understand what she meant. Therefore, Tang Xi nodded firmly and held Ning Ke’s shoulder. “Ning Ke, let’s go out and have a talk!”


  “No.” For the first time, Ning Ke refused her. Tang Xi’s heart sank and she looked at Ning Ke whose face was dark. Her heart jerked sharply.

  Thinking of this possibility, Tang Xi took his hand and forced a smile. “Well, there are so many people here……”


  “You……”


  “Ning Ke!” Tang Xi interrupted Ning Ke. “Aren’t you going to have a good talk with me?”


  Ning Ke frowned and said sternly. “I don’t want to talk with you now. All I want to ask is if you…… were you kidnapped by Lu Xiaojing’s father after you quarreled with her yesterday?”


  “No!” Tang Xi had been ready to deny anything he was going to say, so she immediately denied when he asked her. Then she blinked and looked at Ning Ke. The latter’s face was like a dark cloud and he said angrily, “How can you be so kind-hearted?! She had asked her father to kidnap you for revenge. Why are you still covering up for her?!”


  “Well……” Tang Xi blinked and looked at Ning Ke. “In fact…… I think, as I’m okay now, it’s unnecessary to mention it again. In any case, it has already happened, so we’d better forget about it and move on. You’d better not mention it again and go to class.”


  She was relieved to see that Ning Ke didn’t come to ask her about her relationship with Qiao Liang, and sat down on the seat, when someone suddenly screamed. Tang Xi looked at Chen Ziyan. “What’s wrong with you?!”


  “You were kidnapped?” Chen Ziyan looked incredulously at Tang Xi and exclaimed, “That shameless b*tch did this to you?”


  Tang Xi speechlessly rubbed between her eyebrows and explained, “I’m alright now. The police saved me, so don’t worry about me. See? I’m safe and sound, right?”


  Chen Ziyan looked at Tang Xi and said indignantly, “No wonder she quit and left school. She just couldn’t bare to face the consequences! Shame on her! I’m going to her home and teach her a lesson!”


  “Yes! Yes! We didn’t expect she would such a shameless thing!” The other students echoed.

  Tang Xi rubbed between her eyebrows again. How powerful gossip could be! Rumors could really kill a person.

  Thinking of this, Tang Xi stood up and was about to speak, when someone exclaimed, “Come on, read the news! Last night in an abandoned factory in the suburbs, someone was kidnapped and the police mobilized helicopters to save the victim. There were over a dozen luxury cars on the scene! Someone even saw famous agents over there!”
