Start as a top student after transmigrating.

"Dong-ge, you're so naughty."

Han Ning'er returned home with a pout and a wronged look on her face. She rushed home after the third self-study period to check, and since Wu Jie wasn't there, she felt relieved to bring Chen Dong back.

"How am I bad?" Chen Dong said, enjoying a piece of pineapple in his mouth.

"You stole my pineapple, and several pieces of it! You're not only bad, you're also greedy."

"It's not that I'm bad or greedy, it's that you're too stingy. Tell me, who bought this box of pineapples?"

"So what? You gave it to me, so it's mine." Han Ning'er hugged the box protectively, sealing it tightly to prevent Chen Dong from launching a sneak attack.

"Tch, you stingy person."

"I'm such a cheapskate, hmph~"

Although it was just a playful bickering, Han Ning'er was secretly delighted, even happier than if she had eaten a pineapple. They used to do this all the time when they were close friends, always fighting over any food they could find.

Two years of misunderstanding made her afraid that their relationship would become distant, but Dong Ge was still the same Dong Ge, and it was really good that they could go back to how they used to feel.

Han Ning'er glanced back at Chen Dong and saw him rummaging through his bag for test papers. After thinking for a moment, she added, "Study hard tonight, and I'll give you a reward after you finish."

"I want three pieces." Chen Dong held up three fingers.

"Two pieces at most, I don't have many left." Han Ning'er glanced at the box and protected it even more tightly.

"Two yuan it is, you stingy little thing." Chen Dong shook his head and smiled helplessly at her stingy appearance.

Han Ning'er playfully stuck out her tongue at her, then pushed open the bedroom door.

"Brother Dong, come in quickly, let's hurry!"

Chen Dong was speechless.

Please explain yourself clearly, otherwise it's easy for people to misunderstand.

……

During evening self-study, Chen Dong did two biology tests, and Han Ning'er was pleasantly surprised to find that he got them all right. It seems that Dong-ge has completely mastered the knowledge points that she has been tutoring him on these past two days.

She was very happy and continued to tutor the students on the later knowledge points, explaining, doing exercises, and correcting mistakes, until after 11 o'clock.

Chen Dong checked on her several times during the process. Han Ning'er always tutored him earnestly, and he couldn't tell that anything was wrong with her emotions. But he was worried about her.

"I'm hungry, how about you?" After finishing the question, Chen Dong didn't continue, but instead patted his stomach and asked.

"It seems so."

It's better not to mention it, because few people can resist the urge to eat when this topic comes up in the middle of the night. "You worked very hard tonight, so I'll make an exception and reward you with three pieces of pineapple."

"This stuff won't keep you full. I'll go get some." Chen Dong shook his head and got up to go to the kitchen.

"We've finished all the food today," Han Ning'er said.

"Do you have any noodles?" Chen Dong asked.

Han Ning'er shook her head.

She had just found the apartment and moved in immediately. Apart from buying some groceries for lunch, she didn't buy anything else, and she didn't need it anyway, so the refrigerator was completely empty.

"It's still early, let's go out to eat," Chen Dong suggested.

"All right."

Han Ning'er glanced at the time and it was only a little past 11:10. She wanted to continue tutoring, as there was still one class left, but Dong Ge was hungry. Food is essential for life; you'll get hungry if you don't eat.

Moreover, Dong Ge has a strong learning ability and makes rapid progress, which she is already very satisfied with. It's okay for him to relax occasionally; consider it a reward for him.

"Wait for me a moment."

Han Ning'er packed her schoolbag, then took off the hair tie from her wrist and bit it in her mouth, while tidying her long hair with both hands.

Chen Dong very naturally helped her hold her hair and smooth it back. Her hair was very soft, like silk, and it felt very comfortable to smooth.

Han Ning'er paused for a moment, feeling her face burning. She lowered her head slightly, put the hair tie on her hair, and simply tied it into a ponytail.

"Dong-ge, how many English words have you memorized?" Han Ning'er asked as the two went out.

"I memorize at least 30 words a day using the Oxford Dictionary."

"Then let me test you."

"Xiao Yezi will be doing random checks every day, so why are you even taking the test?"

"Let's see how much you remember, and how well Ye Wanwan tutors you."

Han Ning'er was very concerned about Chen Dong's grades, especially seeing that Chen Dong had such a strong learning ability and a real chance of getting into a good university.

Dong Ge told her about Ye Wanwan's situation, and she couldn't say anything, but if Ye Wanwan wasn't suitable for tutoring, she would take on the responsibility without hesitation.

I walked out of the residential area and found a small noodle shop that was still open.

"Dong-ge is amazing! You memorized so many words." Han Ning'er was very happy. In just a few minutes on the way out of the community, she tested Chen Dong on more than ten English words. He could read and spell them without making a single mistake.

Chen Dong glanced at her speechlessly.

Playing along as a slacker is exhausting; it feels like being a complete idiot.

"What kind of noodles do you want?" Chen Dong asked her as they entered the noodle shop.

"I'm fine with anything." Han Ning'er found a seat and sat down.

Looking at the menu on the wall, Chen Dong said to the boss, "Boss, two bowls of beef noodles, one with some cilantro."

Soon, two bowls of noodles were served. Chen Dong pushed the bowl with cilantro in front of Han Ning'er and handed her a pair of chopsticks. "Eat up."

"Um."

Han Ning'er felt a sweet feeling in her heart. She was a girl who wanted to eat cilantro and loved it. She didn't expect that Brother Dong would still remember her eating habits.

"Ning'er, your mother?" After eating for a while, Chen Dong asked cautiously.

Han Ning'er paused, lowered her head, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Chen Dong quickly said, "You know what I want to say. If you don't want to say it, that's okay too. I just want you to be happy, okay?"

Han Ning'er remained silent, simply eating her noodles with her head down. Her movements were slow, not only because she was a girl, but also because of Chen Dong's words.

Chen Dong didn't say anything more, he just silently stayed with her, even when eating a bowl of noodles he just sat quietly opposite her.

Only after the two left the noodle shop did Han Ning'er lower her head and whisper, "I was born on a rainy night, a night that sounds normal, but I wasn't born in a hospital. I was born in a small mountain village. That night, there was a lot of rain, and landslides and mudslides almost buried the village. I was born by the roadside and was nearly buried..."

Chen Dong didn't rush home, but listened quietly to Han Ning'er's thoughts.

Han Ning'er didn't say much, but simply put, Wu Jie has always been very busy, even during her pregnancy, she was on the front lines, and the same was true when she gave birth.

Han Ning'er rarely saw her growing up and always felt like a child without a mother, so she hated going home because her mother wasn't there.

Sometimes I even wonder if my mother never liked me from the beginning, or didn't want me at all, which is why she gave birth to me so casually by the roadside, as if my work was more important than whether I lived or died.

Many times she wondered if she would have been spared all this suffering if the mudslide had buried her that rainy night.

Chen Dong understood.

In fact, Han Ning'er and Liu Yumo are somewhat similar. Their parents are both very busy and don't have much time to spend with or take care of them, but Liu Yumo is carefree and doesn't care.

Han Ning'er is more sensitive.

Or rather, she wants love, she craves love.
