After Transmigrating into a Cannon Fodder Character in the 1980s, I Trash Them All

Such Talent

Su Hanyan playfully raised an eyebrow and smiled at her. “I’m not a talented person. Just a little!”

“Really?” Zhu Lin looked pleasantly surprised even as incredulity tinged her voice. “Say a few sentences. If you can, I’ll believe you!”

“That’s simple.” For a person like her who grew up in the twenty-first century and attended all sorts of enrichment and English classes, she was proficient in the language.

After graduating from college, she furthered her studies abroad for three years. Her English could be considered impeccable.

“Here’s a book.” Her roommate hurriedly handed it over.

Su Hanyan did not take it and smiled. “I don’t need that.”

“You’re going to do it directly? That’s amazing!”

She mulled over it for a moment before opening her mouth to say a soliloquy from Hamlet: ‘To Be Or Not To Be’.

She recited in a voice full of emotions and intoned her words at suitable places. Her English accent sounded authentic, instantly reminding people of Europe’s Medieval Era.

After she finished reciting, the other woman looked dumbfounded.

She came back to her senses after a while and quickly jumped up from her chair. She hugged Su Hanyan and swung her around like a spoiled child. “Savior! You’re practically a savior sent by God! Teach me. Be my teacher, will you?”

Su Hanyan was dizzy from all that shaking. “Okay, okay, okay! I’ll teach you, alright?”

“Really?”

“Of course! We’re roommates and friends!”

Seeing her agree so readily, Zhu Lin jumped three feet high, more excited than she would have been had she picked up money. “Awesome! Absolutely awesome! You’re the best!”

“Right?” Su Hanyan giggled. “Don’t forget me if good things happen to you in the future!”

“No, I absolutely won’t!” Zhu Lin swore to the heavens. She was puzzled. “How did you learn English? Does your family know about it?”

”

Cough, cough

.” Su Hanyan shamelessly boasted and made up a big lie. “Don’t you know?There are people in the world who are born talented! I’ve never come into contact with English, but for some strange reason, I just somehow know how to speak and write it! Do you think that it’s strange?”

Otherwise, how could she explain her fluency in English?

Zhu Lin said enviously, “If only I had that ability!”

“Don’t worry. As long as you practice diligently, you’ll definitely be able to do it. I’ll eat first; we’ll start after!” she said.

“Okie.” The other nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice. She even hurriedly cleared a space for her. “Come, come. Take a seat!”

Su Hanyan smiled. “I get such good treatment as your teacher?”

“That’s right! In the future, I’ll be responsible for serving you tea and massaging your body! I’ll serve you until you’re comfortable. You just have to teach,” said Zhu Lin valiantly.

“Sure!” She agreed with a big grin. “This is my first time being a teacher. I’ll work hard and teach you well!”

Zhu Lin’s excitement died down when she thought of the cruel reality. She immediately felt dispirited. “Do you think that I can do it?”

“You can! You definitely can! Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. As long as you study diligently, you’ll definitely pass the exams!” Su Hanyan encouraged her.

“Alright! All the best!” Zhu Lin was encouraged.

…

The next day, her roommate did as she said and brought warm dishes back before Su Hanyan even woke up.

She felt bad seeing Zhu Lin holding two lunch boxes, with her hands even turning red from the cold.

She hurriedly put on her clothes and got out of bed. “I was just joking with you last night. Did you take it to heart? We’re friends; there’s no need for this. Let it be the first and last, alright? Thank you!”

“You’re too kind. Let’s help each other!” Zhu Lin smiled and placed the lunchbox beside the stove. “I’ll warm the food for you. Hurry up.”

“Okay.”

After breakfast, Su Hanyan went to the office. When she saw that Lin Qingyu and Jiang Kuo had yet to arrive, she took the initiative to clean the office.

Lin Qingyu only came in when it was time for work.
