  Author: Thank you for the rewards from book friends Chun Cun Er, Huo Jing Ji, Luo Yan Xian Ju, Zi Ye Wang Jue and others.

  Please provide the text you want me to translate.

  It was almost time to get off school, and the sky floated down with fine rain. The early September dusk in Jiangling was very cool, and with the humid fine rain, the chill became even thicker. Students ran around the campus in the drizzle, and the fine rain that had just started a few minutes ago suddenly grew heavier.

  A group of students standing in the lobby took out their mobile phones to call their parents, some asking for rain gear to be sent over and others asking to be picked up.

  Tang Sheng and Tang Jin stood aside for a while, unable to move. At this time, Ning Meng came over.

  "My sister is coming to pick me up, want to come along?"

  Ning Meng also heard something about 'Ertang Love', although she never believed it, but these two days she clearly saw Ertang couple together, which further confirmed that 'Ertang Love' was not a groundless rumor. She felt somewhat depressed in her heart, didn't know why, now whenever she sees them standing together, she feels awkward, yet can't help it, as if afraid they would go for a romantic walk in the rain and come back to tell her about it, this mindset is really weird.

  As for personal relationships, Tang Sheng thinks that his relationship with Ning Xin is deeper than with Ning Meng. It was the same in their past life and hasn't changed much in this one either. This has something to do with what he's been doing recently and also has a certain connection with mistakenly grabbing Ning Xin's breasts. Although on the surface, Ning Xin doesn't seem to mind that 'accidental' touch, does she really think so in her heart? Tang Sheng thinks it's impossible, who would believe that?!

  Tang Jin didn't answer Ning Meng, but just took a glance at Tang Sheng. Now she seemed to be used to listening to him, who let him be so garrulous?

  Tang Sheng didn't have any thoughts about Ning Meng for the time being, it seemed that her sister was more attractive to him. He had to keep a certain distance from Ning Meng, mainly because he had some feelings for Ning Xin too. How could he still be unclear with Ning Meng? What if Ning Xin found out and how would she look at him? Moreover, in the same class, Tang Jin was also staring at him, so he couldn't mess around. In front of her, he must pretend to be the purest man.

  As for what will happen in the future, I won't worry about it for now. When we get to the mountain, there will be a road, and after passing through the dark willow trees, we'll see another village.

  In his heart, Tang Sheng couldn't bear to harm Ning Meng, such a kind-hearted and innocent girl.

  "Head monitor, why don't you and Tang Jin ride in your sister's car, I'll ride Tang Jin's mountain bike back."

  Tang Jin first opposed, "No way, with such a big rain, riding back will get you soaked! If we're going to go, let's go together!"

  Ning Meng listened to Tang Jin's concern for Tang Sheng, but Tang Sheng was taking care of her mini electric car. Wow, it's really a loving couple! Ning Meng felt a sudden surge of jealousy in her heart, and she couldn't help but wonder why she cared about this. Just then, Yuan Feiyang and Zhou Yongxu arrived.

  "Hey...... Head Monitor, my brother is here to pick me up, want to walk together and send you back?"

  "Thanks, no need, my sister is here to pick me up..."

  Ning Meng would never walk with them together, even if her sister didn't come, she would take a taxi by herself rather than walking with them.

  Tang Sheng glanced at Yuan Feiyang and Zhou Yongxu, secretly laughing in his heart. It seemed that many people were staring at Ning Meng. Alas, unfortunately, you don't understand 'Sister Meng's' psychology. She is the kind of person who will ignore you more if you try to fawn over her; only when you treat her with indifference will she pay attention to you.

  Yuan Feiyang and Zhou Yongxu also saw that the two school flowers were now entwining around Tang Sheng, but they also admitted that Tang Sheng's performance on the podium was very attractive, didn't get Ning Class Leader's favor, and didn't dare to speak to Tang Jin, so the two people rushed towards the school gate in the rain.

  Among the crowd at the entrance of the building, there were also Wang Zaojun, Shi Yiguo, Chang Aiquan and Wodanteng. At this time, they also squeezed over, Shi Yiguo glared at Tang Sheng before saying to Ning Meng: "Ning Meng, my dad's driver is at the school gate, I'll send you."

  "Don't bother me, okay? I can walk by myself, you go first!"

  Ning Meng rolled her eyes, feeling annoyed. Many boys were staring at her, but she was going to go and find Tang Sheng and Tang Jin? What kind of thing was this? Shi Yi Guo also didn't get a good deal, gritting his teeth as he walked away. He's an idiot, Wang Zuo Jun wouldn't do something so stupid with no guarantee of success, only losing face and getting nothing in return. As they brushed past each other, Wang Zuo Jun gave Tang Jin a deep, piercing stare.

  Unfortunately, Tang Jin only stared at 'Sheng Ge', and it seemed that in this world, no one was worth her attention except for Tang Sheng.

  It's not Tang Jin's fault, because Tang Sheng has surprised and moved her three times five times, and after that night's first hug, in Tang Jin's heart, she can't put any other boy, no matter how excellent he is, in her eyes or heart again.

  Ning Meng had always been an open and cheerful person, even if she was unhappy, she wouldn't keep it in her heart. When Tang Sheng said he wanted to ride back on Tang Jin's little mountain bike, she felt envious of Tang Jin, gritted her teeth secretly, and came up with a plan to strike at Tang Sheng, "If it were my bike, would you ride it?"

  "Ride," Tang Sheng replied without hesitation, despite the question being sensitive in front of Tang Jin.

  Ning Meng was stunned, didn't expect him to answer like that, her face turned red and she said: "You're too close to Tang Jin, everyone's already gossiping about the 'Second Generation Romance', can't you avoid suspicion? You may be able to bear it, but can Tang Jin? If this gets out of hand, you'll be in trouble."

  This remark made Tang Jin's face flush red, she also knew about the 'Second Tang Romance', it was that day when Tang Sheng ran to her 6th class looking for her and then the rumor spread, the destructive power of rumors is very great, in just three or two days, everyone knows about it, can she completely ignore it?

  Tang Sheng smiled bitterly, "Are we wronged or not? An upright person doesn't fear a slanted shadow. Whoever wants to talk can go ahead and talk, you can't block people's mouths."

  Tang Jin said, "After all, boys' faces are really thick. Looking at his innocent face, does he have any intention of lying?"

  Ning Meng let out a hum, "You know whether it's unjust or not in your heart, I'm too lazy to bother with you, but I have to consider Tang Jin. Some people are shameless, and they should also take care of the girl's thin skin, right? Pay attention to the influence, don't be careless, rumors can kill people."

  Tang Sheng touched his own face and asked in return, "Is it really that thick?"

  Tang Jin and Ning Meng burst out laughing, "Don't mind him, I think my sister's car has arrived, let's run out!"

  Two beautiful girls wearing jeans slipped into the hazy rain and mist, their youth bursting forth in that instant.

  Tang Sheng had no choice but to follow outside, when suddenly a loud shout came, "Brother Tang, don't leave me behind, Old Zhu is here!" Chubby Zhu Xiaochang shot down the stairs like a cannonball, splashing water everywhere, and many classmates cried out in surprise.

  "Little pig classmate, don't follow me anymore, okay? With such a fat body, what if you crush someone's car?"

  "Brother Tang, actually I wanted to tell you, I really admire you..."

  "Uh-huh, I know, like this endless light rain? Alright, another day your brother will call you out to hang out..."

  "Wait, you can't just abandon your admirer like this... Tang Ge..."

  It wasn't until Tang Sheng followed Ning and the two girls into the black sedan, taking the assistant's seat, that he was finally rid of Zhu Xiaochang.

  During this time, Ning Xin wasn't very busy and because of that matter she had become close to Tang Sheng. Today it was raining and she received a call from her sister asking her to pick her up. Normally she would have put on an air of elder sister's authority and scolded her a couple of times to make her think of a solution herself, but this time she agreed in one breath.

  Ning Meng didn't think carefully about these things and thought it was just her sister being nice to herself.

  After Tang Sheng got on the car, the black sedan slowly drove out of the parking lot and onto the road. The sky was very gloomy, looking like it was about to rain heavily.

  "Aren't you guys feeling cold? Let's go have some spicy hot pot together, I'll treat..." Tang Sheng suggested, but Ning Xin gave him a stern look.

  "Yes! I know there's a 'Spicy to Death' restaurant on East Street, and it's the most popular one around."

  Tang Jin did not express his opinion, and Ning Xin did not object either. After taking the right path, the black sedan sped towards Jiangling East Street.

  PS: Regarding the names of characters in this book, I saw someone complaining in the review section. In my personal opinion, a name is just a code name. When I was naming them, the two words "Tang Sheng" were easy to type with five strokes and sounded smooth when read aloud. It wasn't until after writing for several days that I discovered they had a connection with "Tang Monk", and I couldn't help but laugh at myself. Later on, supporting characters like "Guan Shi Yin" and "Pan Zi Xia" appeared. Honestly, it was just for convenience, and there's a bit of a mess, but such names are only a few. Everyone doesn't need to worry about it too much; the quality of the book depends on the plot, not the character names.

  Thank you!
