Oh, dear! Fish me again

The reason why first love is so praised is probably because of its passion and simplicity.

Like all other eighteen-year-old boys, Gu Chiqi showed off his love in a high-profile manner. He wished that everyone knew that Tang Shu was his girlfriend.

There is a non-mainstream tradition in this era. If a man and a woman are together and officially announce their relationship, they will give wedding candies to the people around them.

Early the next morning, Gu Chiqi distributed a large-denomination supermarket pickup card to everyone in the class, and generously stated that everyone could buy whatever candy they wanted.

Moreover, in any corner of the school where he might appear, someone would hear Gu Chiqi boasting loudly and ostentatiously:

"My girlfriend is the most obedient in the world!"

Everyone thought Ming Ruoxi would go crazy because Gu Chiqi, who was engaged to her, was so high-profile.

But the fact is just the opposite. Ever since Gu Chiqi and Tang Shu made their relationship official, this young lady has become quiet.

Of course Tang Shu knew the reason.

She did this on purpose, because she needed a relatively peaceful environment to capture an important person.

Two days later, the character finally appeared.

*

In the last row of the classroom, the table next to the back door was always empty, but there was a pile of textbooks on the table, obviously someone was sitting there.

That morning, the owner of the seat finally arrived.

The girl was very thin, and her face was pale with a hint of yellow, and it was obvious to the naked eye that she was in poor health.

She had black shoulder-length hair with thick bangs and long hair on both sides of her ears. She sat with her head lowered, covering almost half of her face.

Tang Shu looked at the door several times in surprise and asked Gu Chiqi,

"Is she a new classmate?"

Gu Chiqi glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "Oh, she has always been in our class, but she seems to be ill and often takes leave. She is not very active and seems to be invisible. Her name seems to be... Li Jingshang?"

"Oh~"

Tang Shu nodded and looked away.

Li Jingshang, an unnamed character who was only mentioned briefly in the original book.

On the surface, she is an unknown person in the class, but in fact, her real identity is the only daughter of the richest man in China.

She had a special identity and changed schools frequently for safety reasons. During her three years of high school, she secretly attended No. 1 Middle School in City A.

Li Jingshang has a genetic disease and has been in poor health since childhood, spending half of his time in the hospital.

In addition, she has a very obvious birthmark on her face, is inferior and introverted, and is very closed inside. She has always been a transparent person in the class.

Tang Shu was familiar with the plot of the original book and immediately found the key point of Li Jingshang.

She is the confidence that Tang Shu said to Ming Ruoxi.

*

After the third class there was a 20-minute break. Half of the class left the classroom, and the remaining half gathered in groups of three or five to laugh and play.

Li Jingshang sat alone in his seat, staring at the test paper on the table in a daze.

"You've taken such a long leave, are you unable to keep up?"

Tang Shu pulled out the chair at the table in front of Li Jingshang and sat down, smiling sweetly at her.

Li Jingshang was a little surprised. He looked up at Tang Shu and immediately subconsciously adjusted his bangs to cover his birthmark.

Tang Shu leaned forward and glanced at the test paper in front of her.

"Ah~ Plane vectors are a little difficult... I can..."

Li Jingshang suddenly interrupted her and said, "No."

"What?" Tang Shu tilted her head in confusion.

Li Jingshang explained in a low voice,

"I mean, I'm not falling behind...there are teachers coming to my house all the time..."

"Ah~ I almost forgot, this is No. 1 Middle School where many rich kids gather~"

Tang Shu covered her forehead and smiled helplessly, "I was planning to make friends with you by sharing my notes~"

"Make friends... with me?"

Li Jingshang looked at Tang Shu in surprise, as if she didn't understand what she said.

"Ok!"

Tang Shu smiled and nodded, then coughed and pretended to be mature and stretched out her right hand towards her.

"My name is Tang Shu, can I be your friend?"

Li Jingshang was unable to react for a moment, and in his surprise, he even forgot to cover up his birthmark.

After several seconds, she carefully reached out and gently touched Tang Shu's fingers.

"Hello, my name is Li Jingshang..."

"Li Jingshang... your name is so nice~"

Tang Shu didn't seem to notice the strangeness on her face, nor did she realize her unnaturalness and embarrassment.

I got closer, took a look at her name on the test paper, and sighed sincerely,

"It's written like this~ That's great~ You can tell at a glance that your family carefully chose it for you~ I really envy you, Shangshang~"

Business?

Li Jingshang blushed and responded in a low voice,

"Your name is also very nice, Shushu..."

*

The first class in the afternoon was art class, and the whole class went to the art classroom in the art building.

The art teacher asked everyone to practice figure sketching, forming teams of two.

At the inconspicuous edge of the studio, Li Jingshang sat alone in front of a blank easel, feeling a little embarrassed.

She has no friends at school, and every time she has to work in a group on assignments like this, she has to do it by herself.

But it doesn’t matter, I’m used to it anyway.

Suddenly, someone sat down next to me.

Li Jingshang looked up in surprise. It was Tang Shu.

"Shang Shang, can I be in a group with you?"

"me?"

Tang Shu nodded, "Because I'm a transfer student and you're my only friend...so don't reject me, okay?"

Li Jingshang looked at Tang Shu's cautious smile, then looked past her and saw Gu Chiqi, who was looking dejected not far away.

She is just introverted, not stupid.

Tang Shu is so beautiful and has a good personality. Even if she doesn’t have a boyfriend, Gu Chiqi, there are still a lot of people vying to be in the same group with her.

She said this to protect her own self-esteem.

"it is good."

Li Jingshang nodded, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

Tang Shu looked at her in amazement and praised, "Shang Shang, you look so beautiful when you smile. You should smile more often~"

"I?"

Li Jingshang frowned. How could she be good-looking?

"Ok!"

Tang Shu nodded firmly, moved her small stool forward, and raised her hand to lift the hair away from Li Jingshang's face.

He praised her seriously, "You have such a beautiful pair of single phoenix eyes, why do you hide them~"

Li Jingshang quickly lowered her head, pushed her hair back to the front, and her face darkened.

"Don't say that."

Don't say things like this that are obviously false...

*

Tang Shu knew that this was Li Jingshang's sensitive self-esteem, so she naturally couldn't get angry.

She held Li Jingshang's hand, looked into her eyes again and said seriously,

"Shang Shang, you are really beautiful~"

Li Jingshang looked away unnaturally, "No way, you are beautiful..."

"My beauty is the same as everyone else's, but your beauty is unique."

Tang Shu pushed Li Jingshang's hair behind her ears again, and touched the blue birthmark on her right forehead with her fingertips.

"Even God doesn't want you to be lost in the crowd, and is afraid of missing you, so he specially marked you~"

Li Jingshang's eyes trembled and he looked back at Tang Shu in a daze.

So... Can this be the explanation for such an ugly birthmark of mine?

This was the first time in her life that someone said this to her.

"...Thank you, Shushu."

Tang Shu took off the only silver hairpin on her head, pinned Li Jingshang's bangs aside, looked at her admiringly, and then returned to her previous position.

"What is this for..." Li Jingshang asked.

Tang Shu picked up the pencil and said with a smile,

"Now you are the model and I am the painter, so you have to obey me~"

"....oh."

Li Jingshang's face flushed and he also picked up his paintbrush.

.....

*

Half an hour later, Tang Shu had finished the sketch. She took down her drawing paper and handed it to Li Jingshang as if she was presenting a treasure.

Li Jingshang looked up unconsciously, and after just one glance, she was so surprised that she couldn't look away.

"Is this... me?"

The girl in the painting is thin and frail, with cold features and a look of cautious fragility in her eyes.

The birthmark on the right eyebrow is a light bluish-gray color, clearly drawn without any concealment, but it cannot hide the pair of beautiful single-lidded eyes underneath.

With just a few strokes, Tang Shu brought beauty that she herself had not discovered to the foreground.

A painter will not deceive his pen.

Li Jingshang finally believed what Tang Shu said. It turned out that he was really... not that ugly.

She held the drawing paper tightly and was reluctant to let go, but Tang Shu smiled and took the drawing away.

"I can't give this to you. If you hand in a blank paper, you will lose points~"

Seeing Li Yushang's obvious disappointment, Tang Shu pulled out another piece of paper from under the drawing paper like a magician.

"But, this one can be given to you."

This one shows a cartoon version of Li Yushang.

The palm-sized little person has a hairpin on his head, his brows are slightly wrinkled, and his birthmark is drawn in the shape of a heart, which looks very cute.

There is a line of small words written next to the villain.

'I don't want to go to school today!'

"Do you like it, Shang Shang?" Tang Shu asked as she leaned closer.

The sudden approach made Li Jingshang's heartbeat quicken unexpectedly.

Are you sick again?

She lowered her head to glance at her left chest, then raised her head and nodded to Tang Shu with a smile.

"Yeah, I like it very much~"
