Chapter 63: Dating

What an obviously blunt and wild, yet childish, threat!

The class teacher was shocked.

Is he afraid to be intimidated by such schoolboy threats?

After a few moments of silence, the class teacher fell silent.

Meeting.

It is one of the top five schools in the province in terms of promotion rate, and every year, if nothing else, the top students in the entrance examinations come from the top five schools.

There are many outstanding students, such as Chen Yaoyang and Qiao Lan, but no matter what, they are not the same as Tan Mo, and there is always a reason why they are called geniuses.

In all her experience with students, the classroom teacher has never met a student like Tan Mo, who she felt she could not teach and could not teach, because Tan Mo's knowledge was already too far beyond high school.

Such a student has a very, very good chance of hitting the top of next year's GCSEs.

A high achiever, just ask what teacher wouldn't be impressed, not to mention the prize money at the end, but mainly the honour.

So even though Tan Mo's threat was so childish, the class teacher was threatened.

Just because you change seats, you might lose a good talent, just ask if it's a loss.

And in addition to Tan Mo's threats, the class teacher was concerned about something else.

Although Qiao Lan had just said that she was definitely not in a relationship with Tan Mo, Tan Mo's attitude was such that it would be stupid for the class teacher not to see what Tan Mo was thinking.

The class teacher is strict, but not pedantic.

According to conventional thinking, falling in love in high school definitely does more harm than good, and most students' academic performance falls apart because of it, but there are exceptions and examples of those who encourage each other and end up excelling.

It is better not to interfere in such situations, which may be counterproductive.

He looked at the expressionless boy in front of him and was both fond and angry. He pondered for a long time before saying, "If you and Qiao Lan want to continue to sit at the same table, you can, but there is a requirement that you must not fall behind in your grades."

"Yes," Tan Mo replied quickly this time.

The class teacher looked at Tan Mo with suspicion, more worried than Qiao Lan, who had made Tan Mo's horrible statement that he would not go to school if he was not allowed to sit at the same table as Qiao Lan.

"Then I'll believe you for once", the teacher said, and then added in a stern voice, as if remembering, "And no more talking in class!"

"Yes," Tan Mo agrees this time with alacrity.

Not talking is perfectly doable, and he can pass little notes if he really has something to say.

Tan Mo remembers the last time she passed a note with Qiao Lan, which seems to have been over a year ago.

A bit of a miss.

Hao Ying was scolded by the class teacher for chasing Qiao Lan, and the class teacher's fury could be heard throughout the floor; however, Tan Mo entered the office steadily and walked out with a light heart.

Whether Tan Mo Qiao Lan was together or not, the attitude of the class teacher alone made the students look at Hao Ying with a more sympathetic expression.

This is the ultimate difference between a school dud and a school bully.

While the students were speculating about the relationship between Qiao Lan and Tan Mo, the first monthly exam of the first semester of senior high school was held and Qiao Lan was still sitting at the top of the class, but Tan Mo, who had just studied biology for half a year, was in second place ahead of Chen Yaoyang.

When Qiao Lan looked at Tan Mo's results, she felt a little too confident to bet with Tan Mo, but then she thought about what she had bet with Tan Mo.

She was actually quite excited to see what Tan Mo would ask for.

Tan Mo didn't go off the mark this time in language and got a higher grade than Qiao Lan, except for biology, where the teenager was working on a biology exercise book while Qiao Lan was speaking English to a boy in his class whose name he couldn't remember.

Tan Mo had been staring at a question for a hundred seconds and Qiao Lan had not finished.

Tan Mo stopped reading and picked up a pen and made a few quick strokes in the book, passing it in front of Qiao Lan, "No more."

The boy who approached Qiao Lan for advice was stunned, and even Qiao Lan was dumbfounded for a moment, probably because he had never thought that Tan Mo would have a problem with something he didn't know, or that a genius would ask for advice.

Regardless of what the boy next to her thought, Qiao Lan was instantly excited.

She never thought she'd be a teacher for Tan Mo one day!

Qiao Lan finished hastily in two or three sentences for the boy next to him, leaving a dumbfounded boy to take the exercise book Tan Mo handed to him, motivated, "Which course?"

Tan Mo ticked off a large portion of the page and looked straight at Qiao Lan, "A lot of questions."

Qiao Lan scanned through the questions that were ticked, and found that they were indeed the key points of the chapter, so she took a pencil and seriously talked to Tan Mo about them.

Bai Yu, who was sitting at the back of the room, looked at Tan Mo's smiling face when he was talking to Qiao Lan, and chatted with Qiao Lan during dinner, "With your grades and Tan Mo's, you'll both be able to go to Peking University by then, right?"

Qiao Lan nodded, "No surprises there."

"Have you guys already agreed to apply to the same university?"

"No", Qiao Lan said, without asking or thinking about it, she thought it would be so.

Bai Yu smiled, "No need to ask, Tan Mo likes you so much, he must be going to the same university as you."

Qiao Lan almost choked on a mouthful of rice and hastily waved her hands, "No, no."

"What didn't? Didn't like you or didn't want to go to the same university as you?" Bai Yu thought Qiao Lan's eyes could be donated to someone in need.

In the past, because Tan Mo couldn't stand up, people didn't think much of it, but now that Tan Mo is standing up, anyone can see that Tan Mo likes Qiao Lan when they look back.

He deliberately gave up his scholarship to Qiao Lan by failing his exams, brought Qiao Lan breakfast and nutrition every day, was Qiao Lan's full-time physics teacher every day, and had a smile on his face when he saw everyone else but Qiao Lan.

Another thing Bai Yu will never forget is when Qiao Lan was almost taken away by Luo Nian and Tan Mo suddenly appeared in front of the school, when she looked back at Tan Mo, the hostile look on the boy's face still makes her feel terrible.

If this is not considered like, then 80 to 90 percent of couples in reality are probably fake couples.

But Qiao Lan is very sure, "No, really."

When she was reading the book on Asperger's syndrome, she came across this passage -

People with Asperger's syndrome generally suffer from 'love disorder'. Experts believe that some people with Asperger's syndrome have a far higher IQ than the average person, but a far lower emotional IQ, making them more emotionally blank like children.

That's why Qiao Lan is so sure that Tan Mo will never like him, that he will rely on her to take care of her and protect her, but that he will not like her in a male or female way, because Tan Mo doesn't understand that.

Experts say that people with Asperger's syndrome will never know what love is in their lifetime, and that there may be a very small number of people who do, but are overly paranoid because they were born with an emotional defect. The possessiveness is so strong that it creates a myriad of problems by being too obsessed with one person, a love that few normal people can stand and which leads to tragedy.

Qiao Lan sometimes wondered if Tan Mo might be one of the very few, but after observing her for a long time, the final result was that it was not.

The Asperger syndrome group, a group that does not conceal its emotions at all, is the most intuitive of all, but Qiao Lan has not seen similar descriptions from Tan Mo.

Even if Bai Yu did not understand, Qiao Lan did not tell her why.

Tan Mo suffers from Asperger syndrome, a secret that the fewer people who know about it, the better. He has had a hard enough time escaping the ridicule and abuse, and is working so hard every day to be more like a normal person.

The November break in senior year is only three short days, and after three days it's another tight

In mid-October, Tan Mo celebrated her 17th birthday with a review of Zhang's work.

Sister Qiao Lan", whose mental age has already passed twenty, suddenly felt a sense of indescribable guilt when she remembered the ultimate question she had been struggling with recently.

Tan Mo is only seventeen and probably a few years younger when it comes to relationships, what the hell is she thinking all day and what would Tan Mo think if she knew?

Qiao Lan gave a jolt and cleared his head of the messy stuff, and said to Tan Mo with a slightly embarrassed face, " MoMo, it's your birthday tomorrow, let me take you to eat strawberry mousse cups, I found them occasionally when I was shopping last time."

Tan Mo doesn't bother to correct Qiao Lan's "MoMo" anymore, and it seems fine for Qiao Lan to call him "MoMo" when all are calling him Tan Mo.

But forget MoMo for a moment, Tan Mo's eyes flickered, "Going shopping alone?"

How can you go shopping alone, with whom, a boy or a girl? Could it be that Hao Ying?

Qiao Lan is a timely break from Tan Mo's imagination.

"And Bai Yu, there's a mall over there, there's a sweet shop next to Film City, her strawberry mozzarella is particularly good, you'll love it."

Tan Mo's eyes regained their calmness and although she hadn't yet eaten her strawberry mousse, she already seemed to feel the slightest hint of sweetness.

Tan Mo looked into the girl's pretty eyes, a light smile lifted his lips and he said "yes" softly, but his heart began to beat.

Could he consider this a "date" between them?

It's okay, I guess, as long as Qiao Lan doesn't know about it.

The night before her seventeenth birthday, Tan Mo was, for the first time, as nervous as any teenage girl in her early teens, even more so than the average person, about her 'date' the next day.

Because he never liked to go to those crowded and noisy commercial areas, never waited with anticipation for tomorrow with a girl who couldn't stop guessing where they would go tomorrow, what they would eat, what they would say, and what they would wear.

Uncle Chan stood at the door looking at Tan Mo who was tangled up in changing his clothes, his heart was indescribably happy.

Tan Mo asked him apprehensively if it was a good fit, but Uncle Chan was happy and praised it.

After waking up early the next day and having an early dinner, Tan Mo fidgeted nervously until she finally saw the girl walking from afar, without her school uniform, her long hair draped over her shoulders, so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off her.

She is so pretty.

Tan Mo couldn't help but think about it, and when he looked again, he realised that Qiao Lan was wearing a shirt and nine-quarter trousers in a very similar colour scheme to his.

Qiao Lan seems to have noticed the silent clash, and after a moment's surprise, the tips of her ears flush quietly again.

The mind, however, collided with Tan Mo's.

How he looks so good.
