She Is Brighter Than the Stars

Cheng Nian waved her hand embarrassingly, “It’s not interesting to think about it casually.”

Li Shubai glanced at her indifferently, then turned his gaze back to the exercise book in front of him.

Mi Le leaned over to explain, but was dragged to the bathroom by Cheng Nian.

Meeting two female students in the class at the door of the bathroom, Mi Le lowered her head unconsciously.

Sensing Mi Le’s strangeness, Cheng Nian glanced at the two people who had just passed by.

They turned their heads in Cheng Nian’s direction wanting to look but didn’t dare to look, and walked away quickly after being spotted.

That prying look made Cheng Nian very unhappy.

She frowned slightly and asked Mi Le, “Do you know them?”

Mi Le’s eyes wandered, and she said unnaturally: “I’m in their dormitory.”

Since Mi Le joined the band, these two better-studied girls have often ridiculed her.

What do you say, playing with things and losing one’s mind, wasting youth, failing to get into college, and not knowing who to cry to.

Mi Le is a mild-tempered person, and she didn’t want to argue with them, so she endured it silently.

Fearing that Cheng Nian would defend her, Mi Le didn’t say anything.

Cheng Nian glanced at the two girls who hurried away, and began to speak ill of her as soon as they left the bathroom.

“Look at that Cheng Nian, she thinks she’s pretty, she bullies and seduces the class leader, not to mention, she hooks up with Xie Junyu, it’s really shameless.”

Another girl immediately echoed: “Didn’t you see that the class leader’s childhood sweetheart hasn’t appeared at the door of our class for a while, and it’s probably because of her.”

Suddenly, a thick male voice sounded behind them.

“What are you two talking about?”

The two girls were startled and turned around abruptly.

When they saw Pangpang standing behind them, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The taller girl patted her chest pretending to be startled, and said in a strange way: “I didn’t mention you, why are you so excited?”

The shorter girl covered her mouth and laughed, “Could it be that you like her too?”

The tall one snorted and said with a smile, “Look at yourself in the mirror first.”

Pangpang usually thinks that the classmates in the class are very good, but he doesn’t know that jealousy will make them so ugly.

He said angrily: “You two keep your mouths clean.”

When Cheng Nian and Mi Le came out of the bathroom, they saw the commotion in front of them. They walked over to watch the excitement, only to find that standing in the middle was Pangpang, and those two girls who were giving them dirty looks at first sight.

Cheng Nian walked over, “What’s wrong?”

Pangpang looked at the two girls angrily, but finally waved his hands and said nothing.

Cheng Nian turned her face sideways, and looked up and down the two people standing opposite him.

They were still bluffing when they faced Pangpang, and they were so frightened that they couldn’t even speak.

Not wanting to gossip, Cheng Nian patted his fat shoulder, “Let’s go, don’t bother with these ugly monsters.”

Being scolded as ugly, the short girl lost her mind all of a sudden, and yelled: “How beautiful are you? If you don’t have money, would Li Shubai take a look at you?”

Cheng Nian was so angry that she laughed.

She turned around, stared at the girl with cold eyes, and said arrogantly: “I’m just rich, what’s wrong?”

It is also now that she has a much better temper, where she used to be so talkative.

At this time, a clear voice came from outside the crowd.

“Cheng Nian.”

Everyone followed the prestige and saw Li Shubai standing far away at the door of the class.

“Follow me to do my homework.”

Mi Le smiled slightly, and touched Cheng Nian’s shoulder, “Go, the class leader asked for your help.”

Cheng Nian looked away from the girl in disgust, and walked towards Li Shubai.

The students watching consciously made way for her, not daring to put their eyes on that frosty face.

Walking to Li Shubai’s side, he asked softly, “What’s the matter?”

Cheng Nian angrily told Li Shubai what happened just now.

Li Shubai walked straight towards the two girls after listening.

He glanced at them coldly at first, and then spoke in a gentle but not angry voice.

“It’s me who agreed to tutor Cheng Nian. I hope I won’t hear you say such things again in the future.”

The two girls couldn’t hold back when Li Shubai said this, and they wished they could find a seam in the ground, and then seal the seam with cement.

For a moment, Cheng Nian felt like a little daughter-in-law who went home to sue after being wronged outside, it felt weird.

Seeing Li Shubai’s calm look, she didn’t think about it any more.

Knowing that Mi Le had a conflict with them, life in the dormitory must be difficult, so Cheng Nian moved Mi Le’s things to her own dormitory that night.

Mi Le was so moved that she hugged Cheng Nian and cried, and she uttered all the grievances she had suffered these days.

In the end, she let out a long sigh, and said happily: “Now I can finally stay away from them, Cheng Nian, I really love you to death.”

It’s really a feeling of freedom.

Those two girls were not so lucky.

Ever since they were called ugly monsters by Cheng Nian, this name followed them until the end of high school, and they had lingering fears about those words for a long time afterwards.

After the program list is arranged, the party enters the final stage of rehearsal.

The students had limited time and only one rehearsal was arranged the day before the gala.

On the weekend before New Year’s Day, Cheng Nian asked for leave from Li Shubai because she wanted to rent costumes for the band to wear on stage.

Li Shubai said lightly after hearing this: “I’ll go with you, it’s not safe to ride in the snow.”

Cheng Nian frowned slightly, “But I’ve already made an appointment with Xie Junyu.”

Li Shubai was annoyed when he heard this name, and said coldly: “Then let him go alone.”

Cheng Nian felt that Li Shubai was a bit domineering, and complained angrily, “I’ll just go for a long time.”

Li Shubai’s gaze sank, and he said in a cold voice, “He can score 600 in the test without listening to the lectures, how about you?”

Cheng Nian was so choked that she couldn’t say a word, and started to write exercises with her fists clenching.

There are policies and there are countermeasures, Cheng Nian and Xie Junyu went to the costume shop after school on Friday.

Looking at the colorful and ugly clothes Xie Junyu picked up, Cheng Nian was really glad that she came, otherwise she would have performed in a ugly red dress in front of all the students in the school.

The next day Li Shubai came to help Cheng Nian with her homework.

Cheng Nian took out the camera that Lao Chengtou bought for her, and smiled at Li Shubai.

“The task of taking pictures on New Year’s Day is entrusted to you. You must take pictures of us beautifully.”

Li Shubai looked at the yellow and white camera, and said a little embarrassedly: “I don’t know how to use this.”

Cheng Nian took out the instruction manual from the drawer, “I haven’t used it, you can read it yourself.”

While Li Shubai was reading the manual, Cheng Nian had already turned on the camera, pretended to twist the lens, and clicked a few photos of Li Shubai.

The winter sun came in from the window, shining on Li Shubai’s thin profile face.

In the light and shadow, the young handsome appearance was frozen on the camera screen, and Cheng Nian panicked at just one glance.

A phrase came to mind instantly: beauty is an eternal joy.

Seeing Cheng Nian patting him, Li Shubai stretched out his hand, “Let me see.”

Cheng Nian hurriedly deleted the photo, raised her head and smiled unnaturally, “It’s gone.”

Li Shubai didn’t say anything else, and continued to study the instructions.

Cheng Nian slowly put down the camera, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

After all, she was still too close to Li Shubai.
