Chapter 354 Drawing a Clear Boundary
Chapter 354 Drawing a Clear Boundary
Junior high school students had their holidays a little later, so the next morning, Su Guangliang went to school early with his schoolbag.
Su Mang had not yet left the table after finishing her meal. She looked at her parents across from her, hesitated for a few seconds, gritted her teeth and said, "Dad, Mom, our class is organizing a teacher appreciation banquet, and I need to go out for a while."
"That's great! You should attend the teacher appreciation banquet. It's not easy for your teachers to train you. You should thank them. When are you leaving? Mom will take you to the bus."
"Leave after dinner."
It only takes 40 minutes by ship from here to the next planet, which is not slow, but it takes more than an hour to get from her home to the spacecraft station.
"Okay, Mom, hurry up." After saying that, Su's mother quickened her eating speed.
"There's one more thing." Su Mang bit her lower lip.
"What's the matter?" After asking, the woman immediately realized: "Oh, I need you to collect money for the teacher's appreciation banquet, right? Mom will transfer it to you later."
"I'll give you a little more this time. Go shopping with your friends while you're there. Buy whatever you want."
"No...I want my scholarship..."
"Huh? What?"
“I want my scholarship.” Once you say it, it’s much easier the second time.
The couple were a little stunned. "What do you want that for? What would cost so much money? And the scholarship hasn't come yet."
"Isn't the scholarship supposed to be used for me? Then why can't I spend it myself in advance? There are many things to buy in college, and I don't want to ask you for money again and again."
What their daughter said sounded reasonable, but the couple was really worried about such a large sum of money.
"I only want half, okay? You can keep the rest for me. I won't spend it recklessly, and you don't have to give me living expenses every month."
Mother Su frowned, and after a while of thinking, she started to discuss with her daughter: "Tiantian...what do you want to buy? Mom will go with you some other day, and I will pay for it. In addition, I will give you another 5,000 yuan. Is that okay with you?"
This was far from what Su Mang had expected. She rejected it without even thinking: "No! Five thousand star coins are all spent on a computer! I can't do anything!"
"I will plan how much I will spend. I know it's not easy for my parents to make money, so I don't want to always ask you for money."
"But... I don't know if your scholarship has been approved yet. You just told me yesterday and I didn't have time to check..."
Su Mang immediately said, "Can you use the money from home first? You can take out another 50,000 yuan from it after the scholarship comes in."
Su's mother looked at her husband for help. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.
Su Youmin was shocked at first, but he calmed down slowly after listening to the conversation between his wife and daughter. He thought that the child had grown up and needed to have some money on him. A poor family but a rich road ahead, to seek peace of mind. The old generation also said that if you have food in your stomach, you won't be worried.
If she keeps more money on her, she won't have to calculate too much when spending and can eat whatever she wants.
So Su Youmin raised his head towards his wife and said, "Give it to her."
Su Mang immediately laughed and said lively, "Thank you, Dad!"
Su's mother sighed, and spent a long time browsing on her old computer. Finally, she transferred 30,000 yuan to her daughter.
"Take this 30,000 first. I'll transfer 20,000 to you when the scholarship arrives."
"Okay, we've already agreed on this, you can't go back on your word, Mom." After Su Mang gave the instructions, she went into the house to change her clothes.
She found another white dress, fiddled with it in front of the mirror for a long time, combed her hair half way down her shoulders, and cleaned her shoes. Paired with a simple canvas bag, she looked pure and lovely.
Su's mother rode her electric bike to take her to the bus stop and said, "When will you be back today? Call me in advance and I'll pick you up."
"Probably in the afternoon, I don't know yet." Su Mang said vaguely.
The dozens of minutes of bus ride made Su Mang feel dizzy and nauseous. She still couldn't get used to the smell in the bus even after so many years of riding. She opened the back window and stuck her head out to breathe in some fresh air. But the smell made her want to vomit even more.
Su Mang patted his chest and comforted himself: It doesn’t matter, these days will soon be over.
Planet M3977 is very backward, and the starship station is very small. There is only one fixed starship going back and forth every day. If you miss it and want to go out, you have to wait until the next day.
Sometimes when there are too many people, Starship Company does not follow the rules and it is common to sell standing tickets privately. Su Mang has personally seen someone rolling from one end to the other due to the inertia of landing.
It was a starship like this that she sat on for eight years.
The forty-minute journey ended quickly, and the starship landed on the not-too-distant but much more prosperous planet M818.
Su Mang stood up and walked out with the crowd.
There was a boy waiting at the dock. When he saw her come out, he immediately waved to her happily.
Su Mang walked over slowly, smiled faintly and asked, "When did you come?"
"Just arrived, I bought you some milk tea and flowers."
The boy's name is Yao Zhongbu. His father runs a chain restaurant company on Planet 818 and his family is very wealthy. He can go to the same No. Middle School as Su Mang purely because of his father's money.
In school, this young master was famous for his generosity, and he was also good-looking with fair skin. In the minds of a group of teenagers, he was the male lead in an idol drama.
Yao Zhongbu didn't waste his talent at all, and he kissed the little girl so many times. But the good thing is that after he met Su Mang, he completely gave up and started pursuing her wholeheartedly.
I had tried all the usual tricks like sending flowers, snacks and gifts, but the other party showed no sign of softening.
It is hard to tell whether he truly likes her or is competing with her. The more Su Mang ignores him, the more Yao Zhongbu cares about her.
His efforts were not in vain. Su Mang's attitude towards him began to soften. She gradually accepted his gifts and no longer refused his invitations to go out and play.
He decided to take advantage of this summer vacation to completely take the guy down!
Su Mang came out this time not for a teacher appreciation banquet, but simply to keep an appointment. However, her purpose was completely opposite to Yao Zhongbu's.
Yao Zhongbu wanted to take their relationship to the next level, but Su Mang came to draw a clear line between them.
"Are you tired? Come on, I'll take you to the restaurant for dinner."
The exit was crowded with people coming and going, so it wasn't a good place to talk, so Su Mang nodded and agreed.
In order to show off, Yao Zhongbu specially found a high-end western restaurant and ordered a bottle of red wine. During the meal, he diligently helped Su Mang cut steak and share lobster.
Su Mang looked at him silently. To be honest, Yao Zhongbu was already very good in the local area, but she always felt that there was something missing. She was also struggling in her heart.
Until the acceptance letter from Chenxi University came, the road to heaven that she had always dreamed of was opened for her, and it was time to turn back from this fork in the road.
Yao Zhongbu was saying suggestive words with a strong hint of ambiguity. Su Mang used to be a little happy about it, but today she felt very disgusted.
"Student Yao," she interrupted. "I'm afraid I can't walk with you on the playground."
Yao Zhongbu was somewhat surprised: "Why?"
Su Mang smoothed her hair and said, "I was admitted to Chenxi University in the Imperial Capital Star. I received the admission letter yesterday."
"You got into Dawn University?!"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"No... no..." Yao Zhongbu took a sip of red wine to calm down. He knew Su Mang had good grades, but he didn't expect that she could be admitted to Chenxi University. So, all his previous efforts were in vain?
After thinking about it, Yao Zhongbu still felt unwilling to give up, so he asked tentatively: "What if I am willing to go there to find you, or wait for you to graduate?"
Su Mang looked a little reluctant, "That would be too hard. The Imperial Star is so far away. And in six years... who knows what changes might happen."
"It's better not to make promises about things that you can't predict."
Su Mang raised her glass: "Come on, let's clink glasses to celebrate our eight years of friendship and our bright future together."
