Chapter 93 Apology (Additional Update)

  "Good! Good! Good!"

  The invigilating old woman suddenly clapped her hands in the examination room, causing all the examinees present to look at her with a mixture of confusion and curiosity. The old woman realized she had lost her composure and explained herself to the students, after which the examination room returned to calmness once again. The invigilating old woman took another look at Chen Pengpeng's test paper and deeply remembered the three characters "Chen Pengpeng". She decided to inform the teacher who would be invigilating in Examination Room No. 1 that afternoon about this matter.

  Chen Pengpeng had just come out of the examination room and felt that there was nothing to do, so he went to the small path between the woods where he often went with Zhou Xiaofeng. They usually sunbathed on the grass whether they had something to do or not. He originally wanted to take a nap in the examination room after finishing the exam, but his position was too conspicuous. Moreover, he also had a dispute with that invigilating old woman, and if he stayed there, the examinees would probably not be able to take the exam. Chen Pengpeng did not want to be a sinner for eternity. He couldn't play, could he still hide?

  "Hey kid, you're supposed to be taking your exam in the examination room, what are you doing here?"

  Suddenly an old voice sounded in Chen Peng's ear. Chen Peng turned his head and saw Tang Yao staring at him with a strange gaze, making Chen Peng feel embarrassed. He had no idea where he was or how he kept running into this old man. Moreover, it seemed like the old man had deliberately teased him earlier that morning, and now Chen Peng wondered if the old man had come to take revenge on him!

  "Old man, it was you all along! I thought it was someone else. The test questions were too easy, so I finished the exam and came out. It's boring in there, I wanted to come out and get some fresh air!"

  Chen Peng didn't dare to mention the argument with the invigilating old woman in the exam room. If he knew, Chen Peng would definitely be criticized again. Moreover, this old man is now the principal of Zhugeng High School, so Chen Peng wouldn't be stupid enough to tell him the truth!

  "Can't you show some respect? Always 'old man' this, 'old man' that. I'm your principal now, and who knows, maybe I'll be your principal in the future too!"

  Tang Yao's face turned red with rage as soon as he heard Chen Pengpeng's words. Every time he ran into this kid, he would inexplicably feel a surge of anger, and the kid's words always managed to infuriate him to the point where he would shout loudly. However, on the other hand, if Tang Yao didn't have Chen Pengpeng, that straightforward and blunt little fellow, he would feel like his life was lacking in excitement. So every time Chen Pengpeng said something that offended him, after venting his anger for a while, he would calm down again.

  "Haha, old man, stop daydreaming, you're indeed suited to be a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Why did you have to come and become a principal? It's really speechless for you."

  Chen Pengpeng pretended to be very confused and said, "He now looks like he's asking for someone to beat him up. This is clearly provoking people! Fortunately, Tang Yao's temper is violent, but his self-control is unmatched by ordinary people. He seemed completely indifferent to Chen Pengpeng's words, with a calm and contented expression. Tang Yao had this attitude because he slowly understood Chen Pengpeng. As long as he didn't care about Chen Pengpeng's words, Chen Pengpeng would become more unhappy and find even sharper words to stimulate his opponent.

  "Haha, kiddo, this trick of yours is outdated when used on me. Alright, you said you've finished your exam? You completed the entire test in less than an hour? Did you just scribble something down randomly?"

  This time it's Tang Yao's turn to counterattack Chen Peng, although he knows that this kid's mouth is extremely good. However, his determination is just too hard to control, and he knows that Chen Peng will definitely be seething with anger, but won't dare to show it. This is a battle of wits between the two!

  "You stinky old man, who wrote nonsense? I'm telling you, the top scorer in the college entrance exam is none other than me! I'm too lazy to bother with this dead old man's chatter here. Can't even find a quiet place to take a good nap. This world has so many noisy birds!"

  Chen Pengpeng said a sentence with a hum, and then left the small path in the woods. Only Tang Yao was left behind, smiling, rubbing his chin with his hand, nodding slightly. This time, his mood was much better, at least he could make this stubborn kid angry. It was very satisfying for his old and stubborn heart. As he watched Chen Pengpeng's back disappear into the distance, he felt that this kid was getting more and more interesting.

  "See you in university!"

  Tang Yao gazed in the direction where Chen Pengpeng had disappeared, a faint smile on his lips. Tang Yao was an enigmatic figure; if you said he was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, his skills were beyond human imagination. If you said he was a school principal, he didn't look like a cultured person at all, which made people feel conflicted. In reality, Tang Yao was the master of the Tang family and also the father of Tang Qiu, as well as Chen Pengpeng's grandfather! The Tang family ranked second among the four major families; why did Tang Yao feel an inexplicable connection with Chen Pengpeng when they first met? It was because of this reason. Among the four major families, the Tang family was the most mysterious. Tang Yao felt suffocated staying in the mountains and forests, so he secretly ran out to seek excitement. He didn't want to spend his days in those mountains, where every day was dull except for practicing martial arts. As an old man, he had to put aside the troubles of the family and come out to get some fresh air, which would also allow him to train the younger generation within the family.

  When Chen Pengpeng and Tang Yao were apart, he always felt a strange sense of familiarity with the old man, but couldn't quite put his finger on where it came from. He found thinking about this too frustrating, now whenever he thought of that old man, a fire would inexplicably ignite in his heart. Because every time that old man was so annoying, this was the one thing he had the hardest time tolerating.

  "Ding ding ding..."

  Chen Pengpeng had been strolling around the campus for a whole morning. It wasn't until he heard the bell ring that he hurriedly ran out of Zhou Xiaofeng's exam room. He hadn't run far when he bumped into Wei Linlin, Jia Jingjing and Qiao Heyi, who was muttering to herself about something. When he saw them, Wei Linlin also happened to notice him. Everyone was silent, without a word, in an awkward silence.

  "Ah! Xiao Peng, you're here after all! I've been searching for you everywhere. By the way, how did your exam go?"

  Suddenly a voice came from far away, it can be seen that Zhou Xiaofeng is still quite satisfied with this exam, otherwise why would he be so excited? When he ran to Chen Pengpeng's side, he found that Chen Pengpeng didn't pay attention to himself. It wasn't until he followed Chen Pengpeng's line of sight that he knew why Chen Pengpeng had such a reaction.

  "Hey, Wei Linlin, you guys are here too? How was your exam just now?"

  Zhou Xiaofeng saw that everyone was silent, so he broke the silence between them. This was to avoid everyone's embarrassment, so Zhou Xiaofeng was still quite clever.

  "Hmph! Seeing you so happy, I suppose you did very well on the exam? Don't be so smug here, what's there to be proud of? The exam isn't even over yet and the results aren't out either. You're so annoying with your gloating face!"

  At Weilin's side, Qiao He Yi glared at Zhou Xiaofeng and got annoyed. Moreover, this time she didn't perform normally in the exam, so she was already seething with anger! As the saying goes, "enemies meet, eyes turn red", she and Zhou Xiaofeng were like that, sworn enemies.

  "What the f**k! You old hag, did I ask for your opinion? I didn't even ask you and you're giving me lip? The forest is so big that all sorts of birds are flying around!"

  Zhou Xiaofeng immediately blurted out a curse when he heard Qiao Heyi say that about him. This can't be blamed on Zhou Xiaofeng, as what was originally a normal greeting had been met with a sarcastic remark from Qiao Heyi. Anyone would have found it unbearable, and this could only mean that Zhou Xiaofeng had been provoked to the limit - after all, the two of them didn't get along in the first place. As a result, the atmosphere at the scene became even more awkward.

  "You... you... do you think you're great? You... you..."

  "Yi Yi, don't say anything more, it was your fault just now!"

  Qiao He Yi was so angry that she kept gasping for breath, and she wanted to retort back at Zhou Xiao Feng. But before she could say anything, Wei Lin Lin cut her off, her face not looking too good either. She had never scolded her own sister like this before, today was the first time she treated her own sister like this. Her heart was really hurting, but if she didn't speak up, Qiao He Yi would keep arguing with Zhou Xiao Feng! When Qiao He Yi heard Wei Lin Lin's words, her eyes welled up with tears, and they kept rolling around in her eyes, looking very wronged.

  "Xiao Feng went to apologize to others!"

  Suddenly, Chen Pengpeng, who had been standing beside him all along, spoke up. Zhou Xiaofeng was shocked by his words and couldn't believe his ears. He thought he must have misheard, but Chen Pengpeng just stared at him blankly. Zhou Xiaofeng hoped that Chen Pengpeng would take back what he had just said - did he really want him to go apologize to Qiao Heyi, that savage woman? No way, not even if you killed him! And besides, from start to finish, it was all Qiao Heyi's fault, so why should his own brother make him go and apologize? This made Zhou Xiaofeng very unwilling.

  "Xiao Feng, as a man, how can you not get along with a girl? Even if she's wrong, you shouldn't yell at her. She's a girl and you're a boy! You should give in to her. When she speaks, you can choose to be silent or ignore her. As a boy, you should have the demeanor of a boy!"

  Chen Pengpeng saw that Zhou Xiaofeng still didn't have the intention to apologize, so he patiently said to Zhou Xiaofeng. After listening to Chen Pengpeng's words, Zhou Xiaofeng seemed to understand something. He lowered his head and then quickly raised it again. He adjusted his emotions, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and slowly walked towards Qiao Heiyin, who was still sobbing. The previous words from Chen Pengpeng not only deeply shocked Zhou Xiaofeng but also resonated with Wei Linlin and Jia Jingjing on the side.

  "Sorry! I was too impulsive just now!"

  Zhou Xiaofeng walked to Qiao He Yi's side, lowered his head and said in a very soft voice. Qiao He Yi couldn't understand why Zhou Xiaofeng would apologize to her, she was still sniffling for a long time without reacting. This is the person who has always been her arch-nemesis, today he actually bowed his head and apologized to her, which made her unbelievable!
