Oh, dear! Fish me again

Chapter 27 This is my selfish desire

The weekend passed quietly, and Tang Shu and Zhang Li returned to their normal relationship.

Although the two live in the same community, they don't go out or go home together on purpose. They just say hello to each other when they meet.

When we were at school, we kept our distance tacitly.

But both of them knew very well that something had changed.

Just like the haunted house where Tang Shu lived, there was an iron-barred security door and a safety window on the balcony.

These things are real and they are not going away.

On Monday, Ming Ruoxi came to school again after not attending classes for two days.

The head teacher then entered the classroom and announced that he would take the entire class out for outdoor study next month.

The destination is the famous tourist resort Haitang Island. The one-week program mainly includes surfing, snorkeling and beach volleyball.

In fact, it is a group vacation, which is a very common activity in aristocratic schools.

Cheers and screams suddenly broke out in the classroom.

However, such outdoor study is definitely not cheap.

The head teacher stretched out his hand and continued to announce,

"Each student will participate voluntarily and must pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan and hand it over to the class monitor before this week."

"Because this is an event organized by the school, the teaching and research group held a meeting and decided that the final grades of the previous semester will be used as the standard. The top three students in the school can participate for free to encourage everyone to study hard."

Last semester's final results...

Tang Shu blinked and understood that she didn't count.

fifty thousand....

She looked at Ming Ruoxi diagonally in front of her, and it was hard not to guess that this was what she meant.

Gu Chiqi next to him leaned back in his chair with a happy smile on his face.

He was originally a sporty and cheerful boy, and he also liked such activities. Although Haitang Island was not interesting, it would definitely be different if he was with Tang Shu.

Besides, as long as he is not asked to sit in the classroom and attend class properly, anything is fine.

Gu Chiqi lay on the table and looked at Tang Shu.

"Shushu, when we get to Haitang Island, I'll take you to my private island, where there are..."

"okay..."

Tang Shu nodded, her smile a little forced.

Gu Chiqi frowned, then realized belatedly that she might not be able to afford the 50,000 registration fee.

Master Gu smiled easily, "It's okay, I'll pay for this little money for you later."

"No."

Tang Shu shook her head, looking serious, "Gu Chiqi, I don't want your money, I can handle it myself."

*

Fifty thousand yuan is indeed not a small sum in this era.

Even among the students of No. 1 Middle School, there are very few who can come up with 50,000 yuan without relying on their parents.

But Tang Shu has a hundred ways to easily get the 50,000 yuan.

Not to mention that Gu Chiqi is willing to pay for her, as long as she wants, she can even make Ming Ruoxi pay her the 50,000 yuan.

But that would be meaningless and go against her original intention.

Originally, Tang Shu provoked Ming Ruoxi just to make this young lady embarrass her constantly so that she could better become a pitiful yet strong little white flower.

Become the protagonist.

So she chose to use the most difficult and tiring method to earn the 50,000 yuan. There was no other meaning, she just wanted to create a new persona.

*

No. 1 Middle School is an aristocratic school with many diverse quality courses, and the funding for each teaching and research group is considerable.

After class, Tang Shu "plucked up the courage" and went to the office of the Art Teaching and Research Group to recommend herself as a model for the art class teaching assistant.

These art teachers all graduated from top art schools abroad, and they usually have very high requirements for models. Ordinary applicants are simply not worth their attention, so they specially applied for a large amount of funds to hire some 18th-tier actors or exquisite professional models.

Naturally, the money given was not small.

Tang Shu is beautiful, and even when she sits there without saying a word, she exudes a unique temperament.

Although students cannot be models, they can still be teaching assistants...

Ten minutes later, she got the job.

I need to assist in one class every day at noon and afternoon. Each class is 45 minutes long and the remuneration is 1000 yuan.

2000 a day, that’s for five days.

*

The new beautiful girl in Class 1 of Senior Grade 3 went to work as a teaching assistant model in the art department. The news quickly spread throughout the school. Students crowded into the usually unpopular art class just to see her up close.

The art classroom is more like a huge art exhibition hall than a classroom.

The shiny floor-to-ceiling windows are two stories high, with romantic beige curtains hanging down.

The breeze blew up the end of the curtains, just lifting the long green hair by Tang Shu's ear.

She sat on the half-meter-high solid wooden round table in the middle of the classroom, wearing an ordinary school uniform and no makeup on her face.

Just by simply sitting on a black single sofa, with her chin supported by her left hand and her head slightly lowered, she has become the muse of inspiration that makes art teachers unable to help but pick up their paintbrushes.

After class, both boys and girls covered their faces and said that they were not worthy enough to admire Tang Shu so quietly for 45 minutes.

*

It was already the next day that Gu Chiqi found out about this.

He stopped Tang Shu on the way to the art classroom and got angry in front of her for the first time.

"Come back to the classroom with me. Don't go to this teaching assistant."

Gu Chiqi had a cold face and pulled Tang Shu's wrist and left.

He had long legs and couldn't control his speed for a moment, causing Tang Shu behind him to stagger and almost fall.

"Gu Chiqi! You hurt me!"

Tang Shu broke free from his hand and glared at him aggrievedly, "What do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? What do you want to do?" I asked.

Gu Chiqi scratched his hair in annoyance. "I've already said it, it's only 50,000 yuan, I paid it for you, but you insisted on handling it yourself... Is this your way of handling it? Being a model for others to paint and letting those idiots look at it as they please?"

Tang Shu looked up at him, her eyes instantly red.

"Why are you scolding me..."

Gu Chiqi immediately felt like a piece of shit. How could he be so mean to her?

"I'm sorry Shushu... I'm a little anxious... Can you please not go? I'll pay for you."

Tang Shu lowered her head and ignored him, her tone also turning cold.

"Gu Chiqi, I have hands and feet, and I make money honestly. Why should I ask you to pay for me? Who are you to me? Why do you have to give me charity and pity me?"

After she said this, two lines of tears had already flowed down her face.

But she pursed her lips and stubbornly refused to look at him.

"Shushu, that's not what I meant..."

Seeing her crying, Gu Chiqi regretted it so much and was at a loss for words.

"I just don't want to hear those idiots talking about you, I don't want them to look at you... I think about what dirty things these people will think when they look at you, I just want to kill people."

Tang Shu raised her hand to wipe away her tears and sneered.

"It's other people's freedom to think what they want. According to what you said, if there are people with dirty thoughts, they will have such thoughts even if I don't become a painting model. Do I have to hide?"

"Gu Chiqi, if you think I'm embarrassing, just ignore me. I'll change my seat this afternoon and stay far away from you. I won't be a bother to you!"

Gu Chiqi's heart skipped a beat and he immediately panicked.

He quickly moved around in front of Tang Shu and blocked her way.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the anger he had just shown was long gone, and his tone lowered several degrees, begging and coaxing.

"I never said you were embarrassing...I just..."

Tang Shu finally looked up at him, tears still in her eyes.

But with a little smile, he asked angrily, "What is it?"

Gu Chiqi felt his face getting hot for no apparent reason, and he became even more irritated.

"I don't know. I don't know what the hell I'm doing..."

*

Tang Shu suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Gu Chiqi's hand.

"Gu Chiqi, I know you care about me... Fifty thousand is indeed not worth mentioning to you, but to me, it is really a lot..."

"Gu Chiqi, I don't have to go on outdoor study tours. But I really want to go with you. This is my own selfish desire, so let me work hard on my own, okay?"

Gu Chiqi was completely frozen.

Tang Shu's voice was naturally sweet and soft, with a lingering southern accent. Even when she was angry, she seemed to be acting like a spoiled child to him.

Now she actually took the initiative to hold his hand, and still said something about selfishness...

No matter how stupid he was, he could understand what Tang Shu meant.

What she is doing now is working hard for him!

Gu Chiqi suddenly felt very touched. Although he had been very popular since he was a child, they couldn't tell whether these people liked the three words "Gu Chiqi" or him as a person.

But Tang Shu didn't say that she liked him or cared about him, but she was silently working hard to be with him.

How could there be such a wonderful girl in the world? Such a good girl actually cares about him so much!

How can he deserve it?

Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Chiqi took a step closer, mustered up his courage, and hugged Tang Shu in his arms.

"can."

"It was all my fault just now. I was too narrow-minded and too dirty."

"Shushu, I'm sorry."
