Chapter 315: Chapter 315 I Want to Meet You
Sheng Tang didn’t care about these things.
After the rumor turmoil subsided, she just wanted to prepare well for the final exams.
With these events, she felt that her final exams could be better because many students were looking forward to her competing with Yang Mingming.
With such expectations, no one would be surprised at how fast Sheng Tang’s grades improved.
Maybe she’d receive more support as well.
"Let’s aim for the top twenty in the whole school." She silently calculated.
Last semester, she was in the hundreds. During the midterm exams, she was seventy-seventh. This time aiming for the top twenty, although a big leap, was also traceable.
That’s how she planned it in her heart.
On Saturday afternoon, Gu Shiting called her.
"Do you want to go out for dinner?" he asked Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang had lost a lot of weight recently. She ate very light dinners, mainly whole grains, and occasionally had some mixed grain porridge.
"Not tonight," Sheng Tang replied. "I need to diet tonight."
Gu Shiting’s invitation was declined, so he said, "I want to see you."
Sheng Tang looked at the time; it was already four in the afternoon. She should be able to make it to the Gu Family’s house.
She knew that Gu Shiting wanted to know the outcome of the matter between her and Gu Jiahui.
If she didn’t clarify it for him, he might be restless all day.
Sheng Tang said, "Okay, wait a moment, I’ll take a cab over."
"I’ll have the kitchen prepare your favorite dishes." Gu Shiting’s voice was filled with joy.
Sheng Tang agreed.
She informed her grandmother, who didn’t oppose, so she quickly headed out.
She arrived at the Gu Family’s house just at five o’clock.
Gu Shiting had been waiting for her at the gate. The house’s grand entrance was brightly lit, making his tall figure appear even longer and giving him a lonely look.
As Sheng Tang approached, a smile immediately formed on Gu Shiting’s face.
Seeing that he was almost frozen, Sheng Tang grabbed his hand and led him back to the dining room.
The servant served hot tea.
Sheng Tang got straight to the point and told Gu Shiting about her performance yesterday.
"...He deliberately leaked Yang Mingming’s secret to give her a sense of defeat; then, he had me confess my feelings to increase Yang Mingming’s sense of crisis.
Even if Yang Mingming doesn’t like him, she can’t accept that the boy who secretly liked her for years would quit. She’ll start valuing him; that was his plan." Sheng Tang explained.
Gu Shiting only heard the word "confess," and couldn’t process anything else.
He wanted to ask, how did you confess?
Did you tell him that you had fallen for him?
He wanted to know but felt he couldn’t handle it, afraid to know.
"Actually, it’s nothing," Sheng Tang said with a smile. "If I become an actress in the future, sometimes I will have not just confession scenes, but also kissing scenes."
Gu Shiting: "..."
That’s what it means to add insult to injury, and Young Master Gu felt it deeply at that moment.
He couldn’t interfere with Sheng Tang’s decisions, nor would he delay her future.
If an actress is not dedicated, she would be laughed at, and he didn’t want Sheng Tang to be seen as unprofessional, merely a pretty face in the entertainment industry.
Gu Shiting remained silent, as he didn’t know what to say at all.
The kitchen had prepared dinner, and Sheng Tang ate some fish before putting down her chopsticks.
"I’ll treat you to lunch tomorrow," Gu Shiting finally said.
There was a newly opened restaurant with luxurious décor, recommended by Song Chen, who said it was worth bringing Sheng Tang to try.
Song Chen said it was very romantic.
He had planned to take Sheng Tang there tonight.
"No need, let me treat you," Sheng Tang said with a smile. "You always treat me, and I feel bad. Now that this crisis is resolved, I’m in a good mood, so let me take you out for a feast."
Gu Shiting looked at her, his brows relaxed, and the smile on his lips was so bright.
He nodded, "Okay."
"Then come pick me up at eleven tomorrow morning. You should have enough time, right?" Sheng Tang asked again.
