Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

After getting the book back, Peng Jiahe took it and said "thank you" to her classmate.

"You're welcome. You can tell me anything in the future." After saying that, the male student returned to his seat, looking embarrassed.

Lin Miaomiao saw it and burst out laughing.

Lin Miaomiao pulled Deng Xiaoqi along, laughing as she said, "Xiaoqi, did you see that? Zhao Lei is blushing! He's embarrassed!"

Lin Miaomiao's loud voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Miaomiao, Zhao Lei is blushing? Could it be that he likes the new female classmate?"

"It's possible. After all, Peng Jiahe is so beautiful, it's understandable that she would like her."

"Peng Jiahe is such a tall girl. I can't even imagine what it will be like if she wears high heels in the future."

Because Lin Miaomiao spoke loudly, everyone started discussing whether Zhao Lei liked Peng Jiahe.

Deng Xiaoqi looked at Lin Miaomiao, who seemed completely unconcerned and carefree, and said, "Keep your voice down. Zhao Lei is shy. If you say that, he'll feel embarrassed."

"Oh, Zhao Lei is such a coward, Xiao Qi, I'm just trying to toughen him up," Lin Miaomiao said.

"The new female classmate is new, and you don't know her personality yet. That's not good," Deng Xiaoqi reminded her.

"That's true, it was my fault," Lin Miaomiao said, then looked at Peng Jiahe.

Lin Miaomiao discovered that Peng Jiahe had used books as a cushion and had fallen asleep on the table.

Because Peng Jiahe is quite tall, she sat in the last row, just like the tall boys.

Peng Jiahe was very satisfied with the seat in the last row, as it made it convenient for her to take a nap.

"How childish."

Hearing everyone discussing her, Peng Jiahe pursed her lips.

She'd like a little kid? Are you kidding me?

Even though they were all about the same age, Peng Jiahe always felt like she was looking at little kids.

She liked the older brother the most because he was mature, steady, and very manly.

As for these students, what are they all?

Sigh, if she didn't really not know what to do, she really wouldn't want to come to school.

There are also older boys who want her to make friends. Will she be able to play with these little kids?

Peng Jiahe expressed strong doubts.

Lin Miaomiao tugged at Deng Xiaoqi and couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoqi, what's wrong with Peng Jiahe? She just lay down and slept like that?"

"Having arrived at a new school, a new class, and a new environment, isn't she at all curious?"

Deng Xiaoqi looked at Peng Jiahe, thought for a moment, and said, "In her case, either she is introverted or she is too lazy to make friends."

"Does the way she talks make her seem like an introverted person?" Lin Miaomiao said speechlessly.

“That means they’re too lazy to make friends,” Deng Xiaoqi said.

"I'll go and test her."

As Lin Miaomiao was speaking, she was about to go to Peng Jiahe's place when the school bell rang.

Deng Xiaoqi stopped Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao said, "Never mind, I'll find another time."

Deng Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Lin Miaomiao, being so carefree, might say something.

You should know that Lin Miaomiao offended quite a few people because of her loose tongue.

Perhaps because she was too well protected by her family, Lin Miaomiao sometimes speaks without thinking, which can offend people.

Sometimes, after all the words have been spoken and all the people have been offended, Lin Miaomiao only then realizes her mistakes.

I had two classes in a row, one in Chinese and one in English.

English is alright, because Peng Jiahe knows all the words, so it's not difficult for him to understand.

But Chinese is different. You know what he wrote, but you don't know what he meant.

For example, the meaning of "之" in the ancient Chinese saying "To know is to know, to not know is to not know..."

The teacher singled out each instance of the character "之" in this classical Chinese text and explained them one by one.

After explaining this, the teacher expanded on the topic, asking the class about the common meanings and uses of the character "之" in classical Chinese texts...

After listening to a Chinese language class, Peng Jiahe's head was spinning.

"Big brother, it's not that I'm not trying hard, it's just that... I can't learn it."

It's just a "之" (zhi), why make it sound so complicated?

Simply.

This was very unfriendly to her, a student who had spent most of her time abroad.

Peng Jiahe simply ignored him, slumped onto the table, and went to sleep.

Fortunately, Peng Jiahe is a quiet sleeper and doesn't snore, otherwise the whole class would definitely have heard it.

Seeing Peng Jiahe sleeping so soundly, many classmates were whispering among themselves.

Lin Miaomiao also heard the commotion at the table in front of her and, driven by curiosity, looked at Peng Jiahe as well.

Lin Miaomiao was surprised to find that Peng Jiahe was actually sleeping, and had actually fallen asleep.

Lin Miaomiao was astonished upon seeing this.

Lin Miaomiao tugged at Deng Xiaoqi beside her, pointed at Peng Jiahe, and was speechless with envy.

"I saw it." Deng Xiaoqi whispered, "This Peng Jiahe is really amazing. She's already in her senior year of high school, and she can still sleep so soundly."

"woooooo"

Lin Miaomiao kept sobbing.

"Miaomiao, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Deng Xiaoqi asked.

"What else is there to cry about? What Peng Jiahe did is what I've always wanted to do. I'm so envious," Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but say.

Upon hearing this, Deng Xiaoqi was immediately amused by Lin Miaomiao and subconsciously burst into laughter.

"Stop messing around. With your grades, if you study hard, you can still get into university. But if you slack off even a little, you'll fail."

"So, don't even think about sleeping in class," Deng Xiaoqi said.

“I know, you know. Why am I so stupid? Other people can remember it in one go, but I have to memorize it several times,” Lin Miaomiao said.

Deng Xiaoqi smiled and comforted Lin Miaomiao.

Ten minutes later, the Chinese teacher stepped down from the podium and strolled slowly forward.

Lin Miaomiao was startled and whispered, "Oh no, Peng Jiahe is going to be arrested on her first day here. How embarrassing!"

Deng Xiaoqi nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

That's right, the teacher came downstairs and Peng Jiahe was still sleeping. That's like sleeping right under the teacher's nose. How could the teacher let him off the hook?

However, to everyone's surprise, the Chinese teacher walked around the classroom once and then returned to the podium.

"Ok?"

The Chinese teacher's actions puzzled everyone.

Lin Miaomiao whispered, "What's going on? Peng Jiahe is sleeping! A grown person sleeping in class, didn't the teacher see?"

“Yes, what’s going on?” Deng Xiaoqi followed up.

Amid everyone's confusion, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

It was lunchtime by then.

"Xiaoqi, dinner's ready! Let's hurry and get our food," Lin Miaomiao called out.

"Okay, wait for me."

Lin Miaomiao and Deng Xiaoqi were about to go eat. Just as Lin Miaomiao was about to leave the classroom, she noticed that Peng Jiahe was still asleep.

Lin Miaomiao returned, patted the table, and called out to her, "Peng Jiahe, lunch is ready."

"Oh, thank you," Peng Jiahe said, sounding a little confused.

When the topic of eating comes up, Peng Jiahe thinks of something.

She's a day student; she doesn't eat at school.

Because her older brother said the food at school wasn't good, he told her to eat out.

Lin Miaomiao and Deng Xiaoqi ran to line up for food.

Peng Jiahe also quickly got up and went out for a stroll, because she had slept for too long and was exhausted.

Peng Jiahe found a restaurant, ate her meal leisurely, and then thought of the classmate who had just invited her to dinner.

After finishing their meal, Peng Jiahe ordered another dish.

"Boss, two chicken drumsticks, one serving of braised pork, and two servings of rice, please," Peng Jiahe said.

"okay."

Peng Jiahe packed up the food and took it back to the classroom, only to find that the female classmate who had called her to eat was already there.

"Thank you for waking me up for lunch, classmate," Peng Jiahe said.

It felt good to be thanked, so Lin Miaomiao quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "Oh, it's nothing, don't mention it."

"By the way, my name is Lin Miaomiao, and her name is Deng Xiaoqi. She is my good friend."

"Hello."

As Peng Jiahe spoke, she placed the dishes on Lin Miaomiao's table.

Peng Jiahe said, "I also grabbed some food, two chicken drumsticks and a serving of braised pork. Shall we share some?"

"Hmm? We've already eaten," Deng Xiaoqi said.

Peng Jiahe laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if I've already eaten, I'll eat some more."
