Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 22 - 0 It’s Okay to Be Slow

Sheng Tang spent the entire afternoon at the library, reading several books.

When she came out, Gu Shiting’s private car was waiting at the library entrance.

At school, aside from the teachers’ cars, only Gu Shiting’s car could enter. Other parents had to park at the entrance.

He asked Sheng Tang, "Want to go back to the classroom?"

"I need to get my backpack."

"Alright, be quick," Gu Shiting said.

Sheng Tang was slightly surprised.

"No need to wait for me, you can go first," Sheng Tang said with a smile.

Gu Shiting: "It’s okay if you’re a bit slow."

Sheng Tang: "..."

This young master has quite a unique way of understanding things.

He seemed very persistent.

With only ten minutes until the dismissal bell, Sheng Tang wanted to quickly grab her backpack and leave before her classmates finished school. If they knew Gu Shiting was taking her home, there’d definitely be gossip.

She quickly ran back to the classroom.

The teacher knew she had gone for the competition with Wang Haihao, so when the teacher saw her return, they just nodded.

Sheng Tang greeted the teacher as she grabbed her backpack and stuffed things into it hurriedly, "Teacher, I’m leaving now."

Before the teacher could say anything, she dashed out like the wind, not giving the teacher a chance to refuse her.

Just as she reached the library entrance, the dismissal bell rang. Sheng Tang opened the car door and sat inside, panting.

"Oh my god, I’m so out of shape. Just a bit of running and I’m out of breath!" she said, gasping.

The car started.

The car windows were tinted, so people outside couldn’t see in.

Gu Shiting silently handed her a bottle of water, already partly opened, and said, "You’re not out of shape; you’re just right."

Sheng Tang laughed, "Senior, your sweet words sound nice, but they don’t really help me. I still need to lose weight."

"Everyone has their own beauty," Gu Shiting said, "Don’t be self-conscious."

This was his way of comforting her.

The truth is, Sheng Tang’s condition wasn’t "just right"; she was actually quite overweight.

But at seventeen or eighteen, there are no ugly girls. Although she was quite overweight, she had dry skin, a fair and rosy complexion, delicate and non-oily skin, along with a naturally high nose bridge, big eyes, and a small face. Her face was ten times better-looking than her body.

This was a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

"I’m not self-conscious," Sheng Tang said with a smile, "I see it as a challenge. Life will always present various challenges. Overcoming them bit by bit is very fulfilling. Letting challenges defeat you is what’s truly pathetic."

Gu Shiting’s heart stirred slightly.

Sheng Tang took a few sips of water and regretfully brought up another topic, "In my rush, I forgot to borrow that ’Qing Shan Poetry Collection’."

Qing Shan was a very famous poet in this world, known for his grand and bold style. Sheng Tang had browsed through many poetry collections today, but only Qing Shan’s poems moved her.

"Do you really like it?"

"Yes," Sheng Tang said with a smile, "His words are very sharp, his critique of current events is powerful, and even his satirical poems are vividly written."

Gu Shiting mentally noted this.

His car dropped Sheng Tang off at the entrance of her community.

Sheng Tang politely asked again, "Would you like to come to my house for dinner?"

Gu Shiting shook his head, "It’s quite late..."

Sheng Tang smiled at the driver in the front seat, "Sir, please drive a bit slower."

The driver, who was also a bodyguard, was big and burly. Having been with the young master for a long time, few people called him "sir." He nodded, "Goodbye, Mr. Sheng."

When Gu Shiting got home, he called Song Chen over.

Song Chen was on call 24/7 and arrived from the downstairs study in five minutes, "Young master, what’s the matter?"

"The ’Qing Shan Poetry Collection,’ a signed deluxe edition. Have Qing Shan specifically sign it for Sheng Tang," Gu Shiting said.

Song Chen acknowledged the order.ƒгeewёbnovel.com
