  Please provide the text you want me to translate.

  After school, at the school gate, Tang Jin pushed out a small tricycle and saw Tang Sheng standing alone there.

  He won't be waiting for himself, will he?

  Tang Jin's little heart was beating angrily and her feet also slowed down slightly, it was just a chain reaction.

  At the end of school, students poured out in waves from the school gate, making a loud noise. Tang Sheng held his pants pocket and shook his casual pants legs. He didn't look like a student at all, with no backpack on him and no student-like attire.

  Hesitating for a moment, Tang Jin still walked over, hanging her head and not daring to look at Tang Sheng, preparing to slip past him.

  She was so nervous, she feared that Tang Sheng would intercept her at the school gate and then take away her mountain bike and walk with her, which would make many students see them together. Tomorrow, someone would say something about her and Tang Sheng, spreading rumors, who could control it?

  Don't stop me, please, Tang Sheng, there are too many people here, you're standing in the wrong place.

  Tang Jin's heart was racing like a deer, and she almost held her breath as she walked past Tang Sheng.

  But he really didn't stop himself, and didn't even look at himself, wondering who he was staring at, maybe he thought too much about it?

  In an instant, Tang Jin's heart surged with a inexplicable sense of loss, as if there was an unutterable melancholy.

  Maybe he's really waiting for someone else.

  Tang Jin's feet paused for a moment, and she had an overwhelming urge to turn around and take one last look at him, but she struggled to hold it back.

  He gritted his teeth and quickened his pace, but after taking more than a dozen steps, Tang Jin still couldn't help himself, suddenly slowing down and turning back to look.

  With a "bang", it seemed like something had hit the rear wheel of Xiaoyue's car, and the car shook slightly. Then, Tang Sheng's familiar voice let out an "uh" sound, "Ahh...Jin Jie, we were driving fine, why did you suddenly stop? You made me rear-end you."

  In an instant, Tang Jin's feelings of loss and melancholy vanished into thin air, replaced by a nameless joy. She couldn't understand why she felt this way, but when she turned around to find Tang Sheng following closely behind her like a shadow, her heart swelled with emotion. The scene where he had fiercely beaten up the big shrimp on her behalf flashed before her eyes, the scene where he had smashed the big bun in anger to stand up for his grandmother flashed before her eyes, and the scene where he had accompanied her to school that morning flashed before her eyes, all blending together into a warm and powerful current.

  It was this warm and powerful current that instantly flowed through Tang Jin's limbs, warm and comforting, comparable to a bright sun.

  Her heart was racing violently, her breathing seemed to have stopped, and she suddenly discovered that he had been quietly following behind her. Tang Jin couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, but it was a kind of feeling that she liked very much, one that she had never experienced before.

  I didn't know how to respond to his words, and subconsciously I quickly turned my head back around and continued pushing the stroller forward.

  "Tang Sheng... wait!"

  Suddenly a clear and crisp shout came from behind, Tang Jin heard that it was a beautiful girl's voice, she involuntarily stopped again. 'Bang' another sound, Tang Sheng's leg once again kicked the rear wheel of Tang Jin's mountain bike. What a coincidental disaster!

  This time Tang Jin couldn't help but laugh, and with a flirtatious glance, she gave Tang Sheng, who was still rubbing his knee, a sideways look. "Don't you have a long memory?"

  Tang Sheng gritted his snow-white teeth and smiled bitterly: "I'm telling you, sister Jin, people are calling me Tang Sheng, not Tang Jin, what's with the pause?"

  This remark made Tang Jin's pretty face flush red in an instant. Just as she was pushing the cart and thinking of leaving, Tang Sheng's hand landed on the rear seat frame of the cart. "...... I'm seriously injured, you can't leave me behind today, wait a minute, my deskmate is coming."

  "Scoundrel..."

  Tang Jin blushed and lowered her head, using the corner of her eye to glance at the lovely girl who was running over.

  It was actually her, Ning Meng, Jiangling High School's famous school flower, and she was actually Tang Sheng's deskmate?

  In an instant, Tang Jin's heart was like a boiling pot, with unease, panic and confusion. Why was it her?

  Tang Sheng was already standing sideways on the right side, with a small hillside car between him and Tang Jin. He turned his head to look at Ning Meng who had run over, wondering what this beauty wanted to call out to him? Unexpectedly, "Headmaster, is there any instruction?"

  Ning Meng had seen Tang Sheng as soon as he walked out of the school gate. When school was over, Tang Sheng left quickly and didn't even say goodbye to him, so Ning Meng suspected that he might be going to meet a certain girl? For some reason, he felt a strange sensation in his heart, no way, I have to go take a look.

  As a result, she saw Tang Sheng following behind a slender girl pushing a small mountain bike leaving.

  The girl's background was very familiar, but for a moment she couldn't think of it, but the light gray jeans were even more familiar, wrapping her youthful and proud limbs in a very seductive way. Her legs were evenly long and slender, with a plump and round little butt that gave people a special feeling.

  It's Tang Jin. This name quickly flashed through Ning Meng's mind, didn't this school flower with the same name as herself live in Old Tang Alley?

  At this moment, Ning Meng had a strange idea in her mind - weren't Tang Sheng and Tang Jin secretly dating? She couldn't deny that Tang Sheng was a very handsome and elegant young man, much more mature and stable than the average boy. The way he stood on the podium that day, writing and speaking, left a deep impression on her. Although she didn't have feelings for him, she wasn't completely indifferent either.

  The handsome guy and beautiful girl were already attracted to each other, but now seeing him walking with Tang Jin made Ning Meng's teenage self-esteem a bit hurt.

  She and Tang Jin had known each other for a long time, they were in the same school since junior high school. She knew that Tang Jin's studies were among the best, surpassing her own, whether it was appearance, temperament or reputation in school, Tang Jin was not inferior to her, the boys called her 'Common People's Queen'.

  Two campus belles of the same level met like this, with a second-generation ancestor named Tang Sheng sandwiched in between.

  "Ning Meng, hello."

  "Is it Tang Jin? Hello... Are you walking with him?"

  Ning Meng's heart moved again, and suddenly she had a new idea. Hmm... hit this arrogant little boy hard.

  "He... He also lives in Lao Tang Alley, on the way..."

  Tang Jin's face turned slightly red, and her eyes looking at Ning Meng were a bit dazed, fearing that she would think crookedly.

  Tang Sheng also noticed that Tang Jin's expression was somewhat unnatural, so he said: "Class leader... are you calling me or catching up with Tang Jin?"

  Ning Meng wrinkled her delicate nose, let out a soft hum, and then came over to link arms with Tang Jin's left arm. She turned her head to face Tang Sheng and said: "Big General, turn right, do you see that small shop? Go buy two bottles of drinks to win me and Tang Jin over, or else I'll expose your ugly secrets."

  "Hey... what's wrong with me? Out of the blue... I'm just drinking a beverage, okay, fine, I'll go buy one."

  Tang Sheng turned around and left. He didn't think that Ning Meng had any ideas at this time. A upright person is not afraid of a crooked shadow.

  Just as Tang Sheng turned around and squeezed into the small shop on the other side, Ning Meng sneered secretly in her heart. Don't think I can't see that you're a playboy. First, let me give you some eye medicine to taste, "Tang Jin, I'm telling you, he's not pure at heart..."

  "Ah......" Tang Jin was taken aback for a moment, "What are you talking about? He... flirted with you?"

  In an instant, Tang Jin's heart surged with a sour feeling. Even handsome guys with a sense of superiority are so promiscuous? How hateful!

  And this is exactly what Ning Meng wanted, she saw Tang Sheng and Tang Jin together inexplicably giving birth to jealousy, doing so was just to maintain her self-esteem, she didn't think she was inferior to Tang Jin, a 17-year-old girl naive, straightforward, not understanding endurance, nor tolerance.

  "I don't know if you believe me or not. Anyway, I think he's not a decent guy. He just arrived yesterday and already doesn't get along with the students in our class, and he's also very flirtatious with my deskmate. Tang Jin, you're too naive, you have to be careful around this kind of person..."

  "Really... " Tang Jin's eyebrows furrowed, with Tang Sheng's temper, hitting people and smashing cars, how can you expect him to unite with others? I'm also worried that he won't be able to do it... As for being flirtatious, you're indeed very pretty, and it's normal for boys to be flirtatious with you.

  However, when Ning Meng revealed that Tang Sheng had teased her, Tang Jin still felt a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

  Ning Meng wouldn't admit that she was inferior to Tang Jin. She secretly observed Tang Jin's expression and found that her face had changed a bit, hmm, the timing of the eye medicine was just right, this was enough, let that little guy be depressed for now, you're still too tender when competing with your sister.

  Tang Jin is not stupid, but rather a clever girl, and at this moment, she also sees that Ning Meng's words have some other meaning.

  Ning Meng was also afraid that her image in Tang Jin's heart would be reduced, and speaking ill of others behind their backs wasn't good either. She added: "I'm telling you this not for any other reason, but to let you know that some people aren't as perfect as they seem on the surface, their inner world is actually quite dirty."

  She said that could make Tang Jin look at her with a glance. In fact, Ning Meng's quality has always been very high, but she is a bit arrogant.

  "Thank you, Ning Meng. Actually, I don't have much to do with him, we just live in the same alley, Lao Tang Xiang, and happened to walk together."

  "Looking at his attire and demeanor, he doesn't seem like someone who lives in Old Tang Alley... He also doesn't look like a local."

  This sentence made Tang Jin's face change slightly, and Ning Meng suspected that he was sarcastically referring to the poor living conditions of Lao Tang Alley. As soon as Ning Meng saw that Tang Jin's expression was not right, she knew she had misspoken, "Tang Jin, don't misunderstand, I'm just discussing the matter at hand, it's not that I look down on you for living in Lao Tang Alley."

  Tang Jin nodded, "Mm, I know. You're not the kind of rich girl who looks down on poor people either. Tang Sheng is a boarding student in Jiangling. All I knew was that he's an outsider, and I'm not clear about his specific situation. He's a relative of the Tang Yu family, but it seems like they're not very close."

  "Tang Yu." Ning Meng furrowed her delicate eyebrows, she had naturally heard of this big shot, "Does Tang Yu's relatives still live in Old Tang Alley?"

  "Tang Wei's old man still lives in Lao Tang Alley, and Tang Sheng lives with the old master."

  "Ah, yeah... He's here, let's not talk about it anymore." Ning Meng saw Tang Sheng bringing drinks over.
