Chapter 70: Chapter 070 Lost 12 Jin

"Haven’t slept yet?" Sheng Tang answered the phone.

Gu Shiting was silent for a moment before saying, "Tangtang, you were amazing today!"

"Did you go watch?" Sheng Tang smiled.

Gu Shiting: "I did. But I stayed in the box, didn’t come down. I’m sorry....."

"Silly child." Sheng Tang smiled again, "The fact that you came to watch is already great, why are you apologizing!"

Gu Shiting: "..."

He suddenly felt a sense of being cared for by Tangtang.

For the past ten-plus years, his family had always taken good care of him, yet he seemed never grateful, rather he distanced himself further. But Sheng Tang’s meticulousness stirred a gentle spot in his heart.

"Tangtang, I really want to hear that poem, did you write it yourself?" Gu Shiting asked.

Sheng Tang said yes.

"Could you recite it for me again?" he asked.

Sheng Tang agreed.

She started reciting.

By the time she finished the last line, it felt like there was fire in Gu Shiting’s veins, ready to ignite him.

"How do you translate the last sentence?" Gu Shiting finally managed to ask her after a long while.

Sheng Tang told him.

Gu Shiting realized her translation was similar to his own.

"It’s a very philosophical line," Gu Shiting said.

Sheng Tang nodded vigorously, "It could practically become a timeless quote."

This was a fact.

Shelley’s words had indeed been cherished for a long time. However, this era also has many deeply philosophical and widely known phrases, just without the name Shelley attached to them.

Gu Shiting smiled faintly at the phone.

It’s a pity that Sheng Tang couldn’t see it.

He genuinely admired Tangtang’s confidence, something he had never possessed.

He owned endless wealth in this world, his grandfather’s family wielded immense power, yet he had no confidence.

"Yes, it could be a timeless quote. Tangtang, this is your talent," Gu Shiting said, "I’m very happy, you truly deserved the first place."

But it was Shelley’s "Ode to the West Wind" that deserved it.

However, Sheng Tang received it: "Thank you."

"Get some rest, Tangtang, good night." Gu Shiting’s voice was gentle.

Sheng Tang chuckled, "Good night, kid."

Gu Shiting: "..."

He shook his head helplessly, Sheng Tang had already hung up, then he put down the phone.

Over the weekend, Sheng Tang spent the whole day at the gym, getting utterly worn out by the coach.

"You’ve been working out for 34 days now, let’s weigh you," the coach said.

Sheng Tang’s body fat had decreased significantly.

And the most notable decrease was in her weight.

In just 34 days, she had lost 12 pounds.

Sheng Tang was stunned.

"Isn’t this bad?" she asked the coach worriedly, "It might harm my health!"

The coach laughed, "You’re the only one I’ve seen worried about losing weight too fast. As I’ve said, don’t worry too much, your starting weight was high, so the loss is rapid. It will slow down later on."

Sheng Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

The changes in her body were actually traceable: her pants had become much larger, and her tops were quite loose as well.

However, the difference between 150 pounds and 138 pounds wasn’t particularly noticeable to everyone; people hadn’t really observed it.

On Monday, Sheng Tang’s victory in the English speech competition caused another stir in the class.

The homeroom teacher, usually very cold, was now all smiles. Her "performance evaluation" for this year was sure to be excellent, and her bonus was likely to exceed 200,000 yuan.

All this was thanks to Sheng Tang.

Huishi School was indeed very wealthy.

She happily went to the classroom and, before the class started, informed the students of the achievement: "First place in the whole city, this honor will go on the school’s honor wall. Student Sheng Tang not only brought glory to our class but also to the school. Everyone, give her a round of applause."

The class burst into thunderous applause.
