Chapter 21: Like me, just for shame

Mingdai was absent-minded all the way back to the classroom.

Just now Su Wangyun said that she wanted to help solve her parents' problem, so Mingdai naturally had no reason to refuse.

But, is it really that simple?

In her previous life, she was not tired of her adoptive parents' excessive demands.

Initially, she entered the entertainment industry to reduce the burden on her family, but later, she became a cash machine.

The adoptive parents asked for money from time to time for different reasons. When she showed resistance, she threatened to seek media exposure.

The outside world thinks that she lives a luxurious life, but who knows that 70% of her income actually goes to her adoptive parents?

However, before Su Wangyun said goodbye to her, he vowed that there would be absolutely no problem.

...can she rest assured?

Mingdai was immersed in her thoughts and walked slowly through the corridor, unaware of the strange atmosphere around her.

Many classmates hid behind their backs and pointed at her, and a few scattered sentences floated around:

"That's her."

"Actor? Are you crazy?"

"Maybe they are going to take the comedian route."

"..."

Those rumors passed by Mingdai like the wind.

And she didn't associate those people's comments with herself at all, so she couldn't talk about being hurt or wronged.

"Mingdai."

A voice as clear as a spring sounded from behind.

The students who were chatting noisily in the corridor gradually became quiet.

They looked at the figure suddenly appearing at the other end of the corridor in surprise, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Xia Ling?

If Class 20 is the bottom of No. 1 Middle School, then Class 1, which gathers talents, is undoubtedly the top of the pyramid!

As for Xia Ling, the proud daughter of heaven with a prominent family background and superior appearance, the top three in age, the national award-winning scholar, she is the top among the top!

In No. 1 Middle School, people who admired and longed to be close to Xia Ling were like crucian carp crossing the river, but Xia Ling never looked good on others.

Someone secretly gave her the ancient nickname of "Miss Iceberg" behind her back. It was a bit crude, but it fit very well with Xia Ling.

Everyone in the school almost believed that Xia Ling would proudly walk alone until graduation, then wave his sleeves and rush to a world that they would never be able to touch and become a person of another level.

Who would have thought that Xia Ling would take the initiative to come to Class 20 and call out another girl's name?

Immediately afterwards, I saw Xia Ling walking up to Ming Dai step by step, patting her on the shoulder, and... smiling at her?

Xia Ling can actually laugh?

"Ah." Mingdai thought of something, "Wait a minute!"

He left Xia Ling and ran into the classroom.

The people around him gasped again.

Xia Ling was not dissatisfied as they thought, but instead came to stand in front of a boy.

He raised his thin eyelids and said with a chill in his tone: "Trash man?"

"Pfft!" Several boys who knew the inside story burst out laughing.

Only Gao Jun, who was given a new title, looked extremely ugly.

He could show off proudly in front of Ming Dai, but Xia Ling wouldn't even dare to fart.

Xia Ling looked down upon this kind of people the most and crossed her arms:

"Is it you who spread the rumors about her?"

Gao Jun's expression changed rapidly and his eyes kept blinking.

"not me!"

Anyone can hear the guilt in these words.

"Solve it, otherwise..."

Otherwise, Xia Ling didn't say anything.

Gao Jun drooped his head and secretly clenched his teeth.

Xia Ling was too lazy to care about him. When she saw Mingdai coming out of the classroom, she walked up.

Ming Dai took out her handkerchief: "Your..."

Xia Ling interrupted her: "There are many people here, why don't we go to the supermarket."

Mingdai looked around and found that many people were secretly paying attention to the two of them, so she simply nodded.

As soon as the two people left, the entire corridor exploded:

"How come Ming Dai and Xia Ling know each other? They don't have the same style of painting at all!"

"Is it a family friend? Didn't Ming Dai's mother sell fried skewers?"

"Hey Gao Jun, what did Xia Ling tell you just now?"

"..."

The noise is left behind.

Ming Dai and Xia Ling walked into the campus supermarket, and Ming Dai returned the washed handkerchief.

Xia Ling didn't take it in and stood in front of the shelf: "What do you want to drink? I'll treat you."

Ming Dai shook her head: "I'll treat you as a thank you gift."

Xia Ling didn't hesitate and readily agreed.

"Then I'll treat you next time."

As she spoke, she picked a bottle of mango juice.

The strawberry juice chosen by Mingdai.

The sour and sweet juice enters the mouth, making Mingdai feel more comfortable.

He smacked his lips and suddenly asked: "Were they talking about me just now?"

Mingdai's reaction was a little slow, but she was not stupid.

She went into the classroom to get a handkerchief, and when she came out she saw Xia Ling warning Gao Jun for her.

Combined with the conversations of those around you, you can almost guess a thing or two.

Xia Ling took a sip of mango juice:

"Well, someone sent a message about you in the grade group, saying that you are planning to become an actor and that our school will soon produce a future superstar."

Wouldn't this exaggerated and catchy tone attract a lot of people's attention?

Especially when these people discovered that Mingdai, the protagonist of the superstar rumor, was a transparent person with poor grades, family background, and appearance that had nothing to do with excellence in school, everyone felt that Mingdai was overestimating her abilities and looked at Mingdai as if she were watching a joke.

.

"I asked someone and it was Gao Jun who spread the news. He didn't dare to deal with you head-on. He only dared to play these dirty tricks behind your back."

A hint of coldness flashed quickly in Xia Ling's eyes.

Mingdai didn't feel angry at all.

"Actually, they are not wrong. I should sign the contract soon."

Xia Ling was slightly shocked.

"My grades are not good, my class teacher thinks I have a better future by taking the art exam, and an agent happened to find me..."

"congratulations!"

Xia Ling quickly realized that while she was happy for Ming Dai, she also seemed to be laughing at those stupid people's jokes.

"So, the people who laugh at you now will soon be slapped in the face?"

Mingdai laughed with her, recalling the past.

"I would rather keep a low profile at school. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy this kind of peace after signing the contract."

"After today, there should be fewer people talking about you."

Mingdai was stunned by Xia Ling's words.

She didn't know if she had misunderstood the meaning of Xia Ling's words.

As a result, Xia Ling directly confirmed her guess:

"Aren't we friends?"

This means that from now on, Ming Dai will be covered.

As far as Ming Dai knew, Xia Ling never had any friends in school.

She was surprised and at a loss:

"Why...I mean, why did you choose me as your friend?"

Isn't today their second meeting?

Xia Ling didn't even think about it:

"Because you are beautiful. As long as I have grown up, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen!"

"……pretty?"

Xia Ling seemed to know what she was thinking.

She smiled freely and casually. Although she was not very old, she looked like a wise man who saw through the world:

"In life, people have different goals. Some people want money, some people want fame... It's different like me, they just want face. So why can't I be friends with you just because you are good-looking?"

"This..." Mingdai blinked in confusion, "It seems to make sense?"

"Yes, I still want to thank you!"
