Chapter 3 — Criteria for Choosing a Wife of the Late Doctor

Everyone rushed into the classroom, leaving only Co Tay Ngan standing upright next to the flagpole in the yard, his whole body soaked. Ha So So looked at him and told me to go to class first. I know she wants to stay with Co Tay Ngan, and I also want to stay with the two of them. But I know better: just standing there won't solve anything. I went to the principal's office alone.

As soon as he saw me, the principal immediately jumped up from the leather chair and personally brought the chair to me to sit on.

"Oh my god, what happened to Miss Wen? Who made you so unhappy?"

My mother donated two buildings to the school, so the principal was naturally very welcoming to me. I recounted the story of the gym teacher covering up for that male student and intentionally punishing Co Tay Ngan.

"He has bullied female students more than once. Principal, is this our school's behavior?"

The principal wiped the sweat from his forehead and repeatedly pledged: "Don't worry, I will handle it right away and give you a satisfactory answer!" My mood improved, I picked up the big black umbrella from the principal's office, and rushed into the rain. Outside in the yard, Co Tay Ngan and Ha So So were standing next to each other. I ran over, tiptoed, and from behind lifted the umbrella over their heads. The sound of the rain was immediately blocked by the umbrella. The two of them turned around at the same time. Rainwater flows down the bridge of Co Tay Ngan's high, straight nose. I looked at both of their dumb faces and couldn't help but laugh. The two of them were stunned for a second, then burst out laughing along with me.

Before the end of 10th grade, the rumors began to change.

"That fat girl, she sticks to Ha So So every day, does she like him?"

My heart skipped a beat. I thought they found out I secretly liked Co Tay Ngan. I nodded frankly, cracking my fingers and saying:

"I really like Ha So So, he is smart, upright, honest, and beautiful."

The other girls smiled meaningfully.

“Oh my, is that the kind of thing…”

At this point I could react to what they were saying! My face immediately turned red, I wished I could immediately crawl into a hole. At that moment, Ha So So walked in from outside the classroom.

"What are you guys doing? Don't tease On Lam Tam!"

The other group became even more enthusiastic.

“Whoa whoa whoa, the fat kid also has a protector, what a couple.”

I was so angry that I trembled, clenched my fists, used all the strength in my life, and "banged" a strong punch on the table. The iron table surface was completely dented into a hole when I punched it. The whole class immediately fell silent. I shouted:

"Don't talk nonsense! I like him as a friend! I won't allow you to lie!"

Ha So So walked back to her seat and calmly took out a book from her bag. Suddenly, she raised her hand and threw the things in her hand straight at the person who spoke. Then take my arm.

“Are you guys jealous because I can become Lam Tam's friend?

“Not only does she like me, I like her too, we will be good friends for life.”

I hugged her tightly, crying a lot of snot. I always feel like life treats me too cruelly. Gave me a broken heart, made my parents fight and divorce, and made me fat. There's nothing bad about dying. But now, I really want to live well. Want to have a long, long life.

Ha So So was doing her math homework when she suddenly raised her head ask me:

“On Lam Tam, how do you feel about Co Tay Ngan?”

I pretended to be indifferent, picked at my nails and said:

“Co Tay Ngan is indeed very handsome, but... he is too poor.”

Ha So So's eyes became sharper.

“You don't like poor people?”

I'm stubborn, using the tone of an evil female supporting character in a TV series:

"I don't like poor men. A poor husband and wife are sad in every way. So So, in the future don't marry a poor person, you have to live a good life."

Sorry, Co Tay Ngan. I quietly said in my heart: you are so talented, you will definitely rely on yourself to live well. Suddenly there was a small dog barking on the side of the road, I raised my head to look over. In the shadow of the trees at the corner, a familiar shadow ran away in panic. The can in his hand fell to the ground, made a "pop" sound, and was completely dented. Orange liquid gushed out, bubbling and gurgling. Not far away, the gym teacher suddenly called my name loudly.

"Don't you two have anything to do? Go to the equipment room and move the tennis rackets out!"

As soon as Ha So So and I walked in, the lights went out and the door was locked and couldn't be opened. Inside was pitch black. Suddenly, a hand tightly covered my mouth, forcefully pulling me away from Ha So So. I heard Ha So So scream. I desperately used my elbow to hit the guy behind me in the stomach. As soon as I tried to escape, the door to the tool room was kicked open. Following the light, Co Tay Ngan walked in, the blue veins on his hand bulging. He picked up the tennis racket next to him, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, his gaze seemed to want to devour others.
