Chapter 42: Dizzy and Confused

  Author: Today is Monday, let's rush to the top of the chart. Members, click, recommend, and collect, go all out! Don't be polite, everyone.

  Please provide the text you'd like me to translate.

  Tang Jin is not a girl who loves vanity, she is very empathetic and has been very sensible since childhood.

  She is usually frugal, saving the New Year's money and the money her mother gave her to buy clothes. She uses it to buy books she likes to read and learning materials. Many times, she also helps support her younger brother Tang Wei, speaking harshly to him but actually caring about him deeply.

  As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard gate, he saw Tang Sheng squatting on the stone pedestal at the entrance of Old Man Tang's house with a bitter face.

  "Wow...the sun is rising from the west, you're up this early for the first time?"

  Tang Sheng revealed a bitter smile, "Don't mention it, I didn't sleep well all night, the roof leaked, and it rained again in the second half of the night, I'm miserable."

  At this time, Tang Jin found that there were bloodshot eyes in his two eyes. He looked at him and didn't rest well. Her heart couldn't help but ache.

  "What's to be done?"

  "Let's go, I also need to go to school. As the second monitor of the class, I shouldn't be late and can take a nap in class."

  Two people went out of the street, Tang Sheng stretched out his hand and stopped a taxi. Yesterday, Tang Jin's mountain bike didn't ride back to school, so they had to take a taxi or walk, but they were also afraid of being late. Both sat in the back seat, and after getting on, Tang Jin took out 10 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Tang Sheng.

  That means he has to pay for the taxi fare. As for Tang Jin, she wouldn't take a taxi even once a year and would rather walk.

  Tang Sheng knew that Tang Jin's family was having a hard time, so she was frugal and didn't even dare to buy the clothes that girls in their prime loved. Clutching Tang Jin's ten dollars, her heart felt sour, and she turned her head away, not wanting Tang Jin to see the tears welling up in her eyes.

  "It's six yuan for a taxi ride to school, and we can use the rest to buy some breakfast..." Tang Jin's soft voice whispered in my ear.

  These words made Tang Sheng's tears that were about to be held back flow out, he raised his hand to wipe away his tears, but was seen by Tang Jin.

  "What's wrong?" Tang Jin's beautiful eyes floated with a melancholic color, revealing a subtle concern.

  Tang Sheng swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and tightly grasped Tang Jin's soft hand.

  "No, didn't sleep well, just got a bit teary-eyed, and then two small tears came out... it's nothing..."

  Tang Jinfang's heart, which was being held by his hand, beat faster and faster. She somewhat understood, and for a moment, she didn't ask again.

  The car arrived near the school, and Tang Sheng called for a stop. He took out 7 or 8 coins from his pocket and gave them to the driver. Holding Tang Jin's hand, they got off the car together and went to a small store. When Tang Sheng wanted to spend that ten dollars, he said: "This ten dollars is what I borrowed from you."

  Tang Jin bit her lower lip and glared at him, but didn't say a word. However, the sharpness of her gaze was enough to make Tang Sheng's teeth ache with cold.

  He bought two buns and put one in Tang Jin's backpack. He held the other one himself, "Consider I didn't say anything, don't be angry."

  "You said it, and I heard it."

  Tang Jin's voice was very low, but it was clearly tinged with a hint of anger. How could Tang Sheng not hear it?

  "Alas, I remember my mom telling me that girls are sometimes like Zhu Bajie (Pigsy), once they bite down on something, they won't let go, can't afford to offend them."

  "Are you looking for a fight?"

  Tang Jin's face had a hint of a smile, and she gave him a white eye before saying: "...I'll go into the school first, you can lag behind and dawdle..."

  Tang Sheng nodded and Tang Jin hastened her pace towards the school gate. When she turned back to look after entering the gate, she saw Tang Sheng making a phone call.

  "...... Oh, Wei Bo, you've managed to get it done so quickly...... Alright, let's do it at noon, I'm looking forward to getting it over with. It rained last night and the south house leaked water, I didn't sleep well all night. Hmm, the agency thing is easy to handle, the money will be ready by Saturday morning!"

  Tang Sheng bumped into Ning Meng while entering the school gate with his phone in hand, "Hey, class monitor, good morning."

  "Huh...... Have you got pinkeye?" Ning Meng took one glance and saw that his eyes were all red.

  "What's going on? It rained in the second half of the night, and the house I live in is leaking. I was tossed around and didn't sleep well."

  "The old house on Tang Alley should be demolished. Yesterday, my sister came home and chatted with my dad about you, I overheard a few sentences."

  "What did you say?"

  Ning Meng pouted, "Want to know? I'll give you a chance at noon by inviting me to lunch and I'll tell you."

  "Uh, someone invited me for lunch, how about tonight?"

  "You're just a little kid, how can you be so busy that you're almost dead? I just can't figure it out."

  "Hey... sister, don't be too hard on people, okay? You saw that, right? I'm just a kid?"

  Ning Meng's face turned red, and she muttered "pervert" before quickly turning around and running away with her little butt swaying back and forth, because she saw Teacher Mei.

  Plum Blossom usually comes early, just to buy breakfast. At this time, she also saw Tang Sheng and Ning Meng, a little far away, didn't hear what they were saying. Then Ning Meng blushed after seeing herself and ran away. Are the two little guys discussing that topic?

  "Tang Sheng..."

  "Hello Teacher Mei..."

  "Where's my school bag?"

  "My backpack is in the classroom, I went out to buy bread......" He proudly raised the small bread in his hand.

  "What, you're saying that you never blush when lying?"

  "Hey, if telling lies makes your face turn red, wouldn't that give you away?"

  Tang Sheng couldn't help but laugh, it seemed that he and Mei Yu had never really formed a true 'teacher-student' relationship.

  "You're now the class monitor, you should set an example for others. Isn't it too embarrassing that your name is always on the list of those who haven't done their homework?"

  "Actually, Teacher Mei, I think this way: I don't carry a school bag, which means I don't study at home, but my grades are still so good when I don't study at home. This shows that the title of class monitor is really deserved, and from another perspective, it reflects the strength of being a class monitor."

  Mei Yan rolled her eyes, "I'm speechless with you. It seems I made a wrong decision by keeping you in Class 1."

  "I was wrong, punish me by letting me treat Teacher Mei to dinner tonight and celebrate the countdown of Lao Tang Alley's demolition."

  Mei Yan was both embarrassed and angry. "Is it so natural to ask a teacher?" she said. Her heart racing, her face slightly red, she hastily changed the subject. "Really going to tear it down?"

  "Hmm... it's going to be demolished... Teacher Mei must come and have dinner with me tonight, otherwise it won't be enough to appease the people's anger, you won't refuse, will you?"

  "What if I refuse?" Mei Yan gritted her silver teeth, she had never seen a student so bold and thick-skinned.

  "Alright, that means our relationship still needs to be strengthened. Let me brew a 'love letter' to move the teacher."

  "How dare you?" Mei's neck was red with rage. Is this a student? A rascal and a hooligan, openly flirting with the teacher, a despicable person.

  "Hey, is Teacher Mei coming tonight? Actually, there's also Ning Xin and Tang Jin... look at how scared you are..."

  "...Let's talk about it later, hurry up and go to class, the bell is going to ring..." Mei Wei really couldn't take his teasing anymore. Watching Tang Sheng hehe laugh and quickly head towards the building, she finally let out a sigh of relief, quickly scanning around, fortunately no one had discovered them.

  In the distance, Zhu Xiaochang's massive figure appeared at the school gate, "......Tang brother, wait for me, I'm coming..."
