“Wang Dong, to be honest, you're the one I can't figure out in this class.
You seem aloof, but everyone, classmates and teachers alike, say you're easy to get along with.
You seem like you're good at making friends, but after twelve years of basic education, it seems like you're only close to Chen Lin Feng. With everyone else, you just get along, that's all. There aren't many you're close to.
Including Ding Ling, Zi Qing, and me.
Right?”
Zheng Yan chuckled lightly.
Wang Dong chuckled without refuting her.
It was the truth after all.
Transmigrator friendships weren't cheap.
When dealing with a bunch of little brats in basic education, you wouldn't bother with them unless they were truly exceptional.
Besides, Wang Dong still had the most basic friendship with his classmates. He just didn't get close to them.
His values had always been straight. He wasn't against humanity or society.
“Your grades, you never got first place a few times, you've been hovering around the top ten. But what's interesting is, every time you take the assessment, your scores are always about the same.
No matter how difficult it is!”
An amused light shone in Zheng Yan's eyes.
“The few times you got first, those were the most difficult assessments too! Wang Dong, do you think we’re all idiots?”
“Hahaha, I'm just a little low-key, I have to be humble, you know.”
Wang Dong scratched his head awkwardly.
He was young and didn't know better.
Many times, so-called low-key, if not handled properly, could easily become “pretending to be low-key”.
Mainly because this was his first time transmigrating, he didn’t have experience, and didn't know how to handle things properly.
“If you just like to pretend to be low-key, then fine, that's your personal choice. But Wang Dong, if we talk about having a long-term vision, Zi Qing is a dwarf compared to you.
She, just like us, doesn't want to waste her life on this remote mining planet.
But you, from the very beginning, you were aiming for the privileged class! You wanted to achieve a leap in class!
Not hope, but certainty. You're certain you can achieve a leap in class!
Zheng Yan's eyes sparkled with an incredible interest.
“What amazing confidence and determination! From the moment I saw that, I have no doubt that Wang Dong, at least in terms of thought level, you're already two levels ahead of all your classmates!
Facing the aggressive Zheng Yan, Wang Dong dropped the smile from his face.
With his auxiliary system at his side, he had never doubted himself.
He never thought he wouldn't be able to achieve the so-called leap in class.
What he needed was just one, a visible opportunity that he could create with his own abilities.
To achieve what Zheng Yan and the others saw as something that would take a lifetime of effort and enough luck, Wang Dong only needed time.
He wasn't surprised that she saw this.
A bad guy can pretend to be a good guy for a day, but to pretend for a lifetime, then he’d be a saint.
Wang Dong was just an ordinary person before he transmigrated, he couldn’t pretend to be a kid.
He wasn’t an actor.
Even an actor can't pretend to be a kid for ten years.
But in the interstellar age, this early maturity and confidence, Wang Dong didn’t think it was too abnormal.
An orphan from the orphanage, early maturity or having lofty aspirations, isn't that normal?
As for Zheng Yan's perspective, it can only be said that this girl is truly talented.
In a large base population of the commoners, it’s completely in line with various scientific and unscientific laws for all kinds of geniuses to appear.
Of course, now that everything has been made clear, it wouldn't be appropriate for Wang Dong to pretend any longer.
Therefore, Wang Dong put away the extra expressions on his face and looked at Zheng Yan with a calm expression.
“Everyone has dreams, otherwise, when they come true, wouldn’t it feel less fulfilling.
The monitor has kept us all here on purpose, and gave us such a sincere critique, it seems like she's made up her mind, so why not talk about it in detail.
No matter what, we have to give the monitor face.”
With those words, Chen Lin Feng nodded in agreement, Li Zi Qing crossed her arms and said nothing, Ding Ling gave another shy smile.
No one objected.
Zheng Yan wasn't surprised.
She was being candid, frankly to the point of being overbearing today, wasn't it all to create such a candid conversation environment.
Wang Dong's words allowed Zheng Yan to skip the follow-up preamble that would have been necessary, directly entering the main topic, saving a lot of trouble.
Looking deeply at Wang Dong again, Zheng Yan was even more confident in her judgment.
If she could reach a mutual assistance agreement with Wang Dong, the success rate of her plan would increase by at least ten percentage points.
Unfortunately, this man was the only one in the class who could look at her for more than a minute without any change in expression, remaining calm and composed.
He has great potential to be a real jerk.
Nonsense, Wang Dong came from an era where mythical beasts ran rampant, his values are straight.
To see a little girl grow from six years old to eighteen years old, what kind of opinion would a normal adult soul have?
