Chapter 136: One hundred thirty-five, fighting
The school bell rang, signaling the end of the day, and Luo Zheng packed his books into his backpack and stood up to leave the classroom.
These days, he had been living in Luo Family Village. Since his eldest sister gave him some pocket money, he didn’t need to walk back like before.
Second Sister now had a job and had become much more cheerful. Their father had been treating them quite well lately, especially Second Sister, which eased Luo Zheng’s mind considerably. That’s why he decided, starting from today, to move back in with his eldest sister.
"Luo Zheng, wait for me!" A pretty girl, wearing a red cotton jacket and with two braids, rushed up to him.
Luo Zheng stopped and looked at the girl indifferently. "What is it?" She was his classmate, He Xiao, whose grades were always among the best. Coupled with her beauty and urban household registration, many male students in the class were quite fond of her.
"This Saturday, our class is organizing a trip to the Light Cinema to watch a movie, do you want to join?" He Xiao asked, batting her dark eyes at Luo Zheng with a smile.
The Luo Zheng of the past was unnoticeable in his class because of poor nutrition and his always raggedy clothes. Many students looked down on him, and for class activities, they would never consider inviting Luo Zheng.
However, Luo Zheng had changed a lot these days. Not only were his clothes no longer tattered, but he had also grown taller, put on weight, and his skin had become fairer. He was naturally good-looking, and now he seemed even more refined, which inadvertently drew He Xiao’s attention to him.
"I don’t want to participate," Luo Zheng said, rejecting the offer. Perhaps accustomed to being on his own, he wasn’t very keen on talking more with his classmates.
"He Xiao, don’t bother with him. He’s just ungrateful."
"Exactly, just because he’s dressed a bit better than before doesn’t mean he’s anything special. He’s still just a poor nobody." Two identical looking boys approached. They were He Xiao’s admirers.
