"I've recovered, so I'm back at school" Tang Xi replied with a smile on Ning Ke. "Thank you for your attention."

Ning Ke scratched his head with a smile and said, "Together." Then he thought of something and continued, “I made a note about the recent class for you. Do you want to look around?”

In fact, this course was not at all difficult for Tang Xi right now; she just needed to review it, especially math. He was very good at math, so he didn't need any notes at all. However ... Tang Xi, looking into Ning Ke's shy yet hopeful eyes, couldn't muster up a heart to reject the thirteen-year-old's kindness. He would feel guilty if he did!

He nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Disciple Ning."

A glimmer of light shone in Ning Ke's black eyes and he looked a little excited as he said, “Wait a moment. Let me take it for you.”

The corner of Tang Xi's eyes twitched as she looked at Ning Ke's cheerful figure. She's not gonna be his little fan, is she?

But before Tang Xi could fall into a daydream, she was surrounded by many female students, as well as male students. A flash of surprise flashed across his eyes as he looked at the surrounding disciples and he asked, "Well...what can I do for all of you?"

"Are you really twenty-three?" Ask a boy who doesn't believe.

Tang Xi chuckled but complained in her heart. 008, why did you give me an Junior High?! Thanks to you, I had to study in high school and be watched like a zoo animal!

If a person becomes a high school or college student when he is thirteen, people will call him a prodigy. However, if you are still a first-year student in high school at twenty-three years old, others will think you are weird and stupid. Fortunately, he did not perform poorly in class, or else others would definitely look down on him.

"Yes," Tang Xi replied with a hollow laugh. "I don't look 'old', do I?"

Everyone nodded. Tang Xi raised an eyebrow, thinking inwardly, 'Are these people asking me this because I don't look like a twenty-three year old girl?'

"Yes. Even though you are very beautiful, you look like a teenager. I never thought that you were twenty-three years old!” A surprised girl exclaimed, and then she asked, “Is your skin in good condition due to the good air in the mountains?”

Her skin was even softer and softer than that of a baby, and she was extremely beautiful. The girl was extremely envious of Tang Xi!

Good air in the mountains?

Tang Xi recalled what she looked like as Xiao Rou, giggled and shook her head before replying, “No. Maybe my skin is good because my mother often gives me some skin care products to use.”

By the time Ning Ke came to Tang Xi again with his note, he was surrounded by people. Standing outside the crowd, she watched Tang Xi answer each student's questions with a smile. He looked at the note in his hand and continued to wait.

"Xiao Rou, are you getting good grades because you have learned the lesson before?" a boy asked. “Is it because your math teacher in a rural school is better than us?”

Tang Xi's face changed, wondering if the boy was really naive or deliberately touched Xiao Rou's sore spot. She smiled and replied, “That's because my mom gave me extra tutoring. My mom is amazing!”

Tang Xi smiled and bragged about her mother. “Yes, my mom is amazing. You can find out from my brothers.”

“By the way, Xiao Rou, the teachers said at the beginning of the school period that we will choose the class leader by the end of September. You have good grades and are older than us. You should be much more mature than us too. Will you be our class president?” A girl looked at Tang Xi with a hint of anticipation as she asked this.

Since the class president had to help his classmates unconditionally, the girl could ask Xiao Rou to help him with math. He was not good at math, and he was accepted into experimental classes because of his good grades in other subjects. If he managed to increase his math score, he would be ranked in the top ten throughout the year.

"Sorry, but I might be taking the grades stepping exam in October," Tang Xi replied as she looked at the students surrounding her with a smile. “Thank you, but I'm older than all of you, so I want to miss one value.”

The students looked disappointed. Tang Xi smiled and assured them that they were still good classmates and could still be friends even if she missed one class. After the students left, Ning Ke came with his notes. She looked at Tang Xi with a frown and asked, "You're going to skip class?"

Tang Xi nodded. "Yes. I'm actually old enough to be your aunt. Just because something happened before, I didn't get into High School the way I wanted to. Now that I finally got into high school and my grades are fine, I want to get a diploma as soon as possible and then find a job.”

Ning Ke frowned and his voice turned cold. "Is it because of that woman?"

Tang Xi knew she was talking about Xiao Jinning, but at first, Xiao Jinning did not know that she was actually not the child of the Xiao Family. He smiled and replied, “No, he can't be blamed for that. My biological mother thought I was with her. Xiao Jinning had no role in it, so it was not his fault.”

Ning Ke's face turned more serious hearing Tang Xi's words. "He's the one to blame because he stole what was supposed to be yours."

Tang Xi shook her head as she looked at the stubborn child in front of her, then took over her notes and said with a smile, “Thank you. If you have time, you can go out with your brother and his friends for fun. I hang out with them often.”

"My brother?" Ning Ke frowned. “You know my brother?”

Tang Xi pretended not to see Ning Ke's appearance and smiled as she replied, “Ya, Ning Yan and I are friends. We often hang out together. You can join us.”

Ning Ke looked at Tang Xi and asked in surprise, "Are you not even reviewing your lessons?"

Tang Xi was silent for a moment. “... Everyone needs recreation. Only after sufficient rest can we increase efficiency. Look, I'm better at math than you are because I don't study mechanically. I usually alternate studying with rest, which works well.”

Ning Ke pursed his lips and replied, "I'll give it a try." Then he left.

Tang Xi looked at Ning Ke's retreating figure and her eyes flashed with worry. Did he just mislead a good boy?

But Ning Yan said Ning Ke was a prodigy. He probably won't get a bad grade just because he has some recreational time, right? With this thought in mind, Tang Xi shouted after Ning Ke, “Hei, Ning, it was actually good to study hard. You can play after pass.”
