Chapter 104: Embarrassed
Gu Nan did not come from a wealthy family. His father was just a small business owner doing well in recent years. Gu Nan could be considered a young master who did not have to worry about food and clothing.
He occasionally heard the girls talking about some matters between the big families in the capital, but he was not interested in these things.
“What are the things that you don’t understand?”
Cheng Xiao brushed away the hair beside her ears.
She had used perfume on her wrist and the back of her ears when she came out this morning. She didn’t know if Gu Nan could smell it.
Gu Nan pointed at the question.
“I did this question according to the method of the example question, but the answer is different from the example question.”
Cheng Xiao hadn’t calmed down because of the cheering just now. She looked at the question, but she couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
She was a little anxious. She was called the Little Princess of Physics, and this was the first time Gu Nan came to look for her. If she couldn’t answer it, it would be so embarrassing.
So Cheng Xiao smiled at Gu Nan, then lowered her head to look at the question again.
But the more anxious she was, the more confused she became. Cheng Xiao still couldn’t find anything wrong.
It was almost time for class. Gu Nan looked at his watch.
“Cheng Xiao, if you also don’t know how to do it, I’ll ask the physics teacher again after class.”
Cheng Xiao hurriedly waved her hand to deny it.
“No, it’s just that the time is too short. But you’d better ask Teacher Sun. He’ll definitely explain better than me.”
Cheng Xiao hurriedly pushed this mess away.
Gu Nan nodded and didn’t say anything. He took his exercise book and turned around to walk to the class.
“Gu Nan.”
Gu Nan turned around.
“It’s my grandfather’s birthday next Monday. I’ve invited a lot of my classmates. Do you want to come over, too?”
Cheng Xiao enjoyed the feeling of being admired like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon. The more students went, the more face she would have.
Moreover, Gu Nan was such a handsome boy. If he went, word would definitely spread to Yuya First High School the next day.
However, what Cheng Xiao didn’t expect was that Gu Nan shook his head, and declined without even thinking.
“I had an appointment with a friend to go to the movies that night. I’m sorry.”
After saying that, Gu Nan went back to class. That was just an excuse that Gu Nan found. He had no interest in Cheng Xiao at all. Why would he go to her grandfather’s birthday party?
He didn’t want to get involved in the gossip in the school. More so he didn’t want to get involved with Cheng Xiao and become the main character of the gossip.
The following class was English class. Chen Fang entered class one while the bell was ringing.
Cheng Xiao was still brooding over Gu Nan’s rejection of her, so she didn’t take the class seriously. However, she didn’t expect Chen Fang to ask her to read the text.
Cheng Xiao’s spoken English was not good, so she hated getting up to read the text the most. Moreover, he had just been rejected by Gu Nan. Now, all she could think about was that if she did not read well, Gu Nan might laugh at her in his heart.
Although she thought so in her heart, as a well-behaved student in the eyes of all the teachers, Cheng Xiao still stood up.
“Yes, it’s this new text. I told you all to go home and preview it yesterday, right?”
While the students in class one spared no effort in gossiping, they were also very serious in their studies.
All of them nodded and answered, “Yes.”
Cheng Xiao was feeling a little guilty now because last night, she was too busy choosing the evening gown that she was going to wear at Old Master Cheng’s birthday party. And she had completely forgotten about the preview.
She flipped to the new text and saw a few words that she didn’t recognize at a glance.
Due to this, she was a little stumped when reading those words that she recognized. Not only did she fail to read them correctly, but she was also not fluent.
“What’s wrong with Cheng Xiao today? She doesn’t seem to be in a good state.”
“Yeah, why is she reading in this manner?”
Cheng Xiao’s expression was getting worse and worse, but she still forced herself to finish reading the entire text. There were a lot of words in it that she couldn’t read, and she had to spell them out.
After she finished reading, the classroom didn’t have the usual applause and envious words that she normally received after answering a question. Instead, there was silence.
“Okay, sit down.”
Chen Fang’s tone was the same as usual. However, her expression showed that she was very dissatisfied with Cheng Xiao’s reading.
Then, Chen Fang called a few other students to read. The other students had all pre-read. Although they didn’t read smoothly, at least they could read the words correctly.
Cheng Xiao felt even more embarrassed this time. She kneaded the draft paper in her hand into a ball and squeezed it in her palm.
Cheng Xiao didn’t pay attention to almost the entire English class. Her mind was filled with the scene where she embarrassed herself just now.
