Chapter 11

Jiang Xu walked back to her class. It was like a hero's homecoming, with people lining up to welcome her. Wu Yunyun shook her hand and screamed, "Ahhhh Xuxu, you're so amazing!!!! That last straight-line acceleration was so cool! The boys in our class almost broke their throats."

Then he whispered mysteriously in her ear, "And I'm telling you, Mr. He has been following you all the way since the fifth lap. He's been right behind you the whole time. The girls from other classes are jealous."

Hearing this, Jiang Xu paused for a moment and said, "Why do I always feel like someone is following me?"

What does He Jin mean by this? On the one hand, he doesn't respond to her feelings directly, but on the other hand, he cares about her silently behind her back. She could see it from the last escape from the secret room that he still likes and cares about her a little bit.

Could it be because of family?

Oh, please, they are all so outstanding, why should they feel inferior? She was really overthinking it.

Jiang Xu conquered the man from head to toe, from beginning to end, and then smiled with satisfaction.

She made up her mind. It was just a confession. She had done it so many times, so this time wouldn't make a difference. Today, no matter what, she had to get to the bottom of it!

——

"Mr. He's in a relatively stable condition now, his blood pressure has dropped, and he'll be awake soon. We need to keep him calm and not stimulate him any further."

"Well, thank you, doctor." He Jin leaned against the wall in front of the door, lowered his head and played with the lighter in his hand, his emotions unclear.

Just when the scores were being counted, Uncle Liu said on the phone that the old man had fainted due to high blood pressure and the car was already at the school gate. He came without saying anything else.

After the doctor left, He Jin didn't enter the room. Instead, he turned to Liu Sheng who was walking by and asked, "Uncle Liu, what's going on?"

"Xiao Jin, the old man has been in poor health. He had already made a will, but somehow your second uncle got wind of it and came over to make a scene. He said some... unkind things to you. Before he fainted, he kept calling your name. That's why I called you and asked the driver to pick you up.

Xiao Jin, you know, the old man has always felt indebted to you, and he wants to..."

"Well, thank you Uncle Liu, I understand." He Jin interrupted him and walked into the room.

Old Master He had just woken up. When he saw He Jin come in, he wanted to sit up, "Xiao Jin, you're here."

He walked over and helped Mr. He up, placing a pillow behind him. Mr. He smiled and took He Jin's hand, saying kindly, "Little Jin, how are your studies lately?"

"I'm fine." He Jin stood by the bed and answered every question asked by Old Man He.

After a few pleasantries, Mr. He suddenly fell silent, thinking of something to say.

He Jin realized what Grandpa He was about to say next, so he spoke first, "Grandpa, I promised you before that I would go with you on some occasions and participate in some things in the company. I will do it, but I also hope that you will do what you promised me and give me freedom in the next two years."

Hearing this, Mr. He smiled, with helplessness in his eyes. This child has been smart since he was young. He has obviously obtained the qualification for admission and does not have to go to school. How could he not know that this child did this just to avoid him.

"Xiao Jin, you are still blaming me."

He Jin didn't say anything.

"There are some things that Grandpa hopes you can understand. I know you have no feelings towards the He family, but your second uncle is too reckless. I'm worried about leaving the He family to him." Grandpa He said, and then he thought of something and said, "Your mother..."

He Jin's eyes were dark and expressionless: "Still in the hospital."

Old Master He sighed deeply, slowly letting go of He Jin's hand, his eyes gradually reddening, "Xiao Jin, ask Uncle Liu to take you back."

"Well, take care of yourself."

——

The podium is on the rostrum. It’s said to be an award ceremony, but in fact it’s just for taking photos.

Jiang Xu came down from the podium and looked around but didn't see He Jin.

Didn’t you say you were coming to give her an award?

Jiang Xu found Song Li on the basketball court, but didn't see He Jin either. He called out, "Song Li, where is He Jin?"

"He just received a phone call and left. It seems something happened at home." Song Li walked over, patting the basketball.

Something happened at home?

Jiang Xu's heart sank for a moment, and he pulled Song Li off the stage. "Song Li, I want to ask you something."

Song Li didn't understand what was going on. Seeing Jiang Xu's serious expression, he followed her off the court and threw the ball to a classmate, "You go."

Jiang Xu was silent for a moment, as if he didn't know how to express himself. Finally, he said, "Is the situation at He Jin's home not good?"

Song Li was stunned by the question: "Situation? What situation do you mean?"

Jiang Xu tutted her words. She had asked so directly, "That is, is He Jin's family in financial difficulty..."

Song Li didn't react for a moment, "What are you talking about? Tight money??"

Jiang Xu thought Song Li didn't know what the word meant, "It just means... relatively poor."

"No, are you kidding?" Song Li found it funny. If He Jin had no money, who else had? Was this young lady trying to compete with their brother Jin to see who was richer?

Song Li glanced at Jiang Xu and saw that the difficulty in speaking in Jiang Xu's eyes didn't seem fake, so he had to ask tentatively: "Didn't Brother Jin tell you about this?"

It seems that Song Li does know something. Jiang Xu thought to himself and replied, "No."

This shouldn't be the case. Could it be a new hobby between couples, dating with hidden identities?

If Brother Jin's identity was revealed today, he would definitely be killed. And judging from his previous behavior, Song Li was sure that Jiang Xu's family was rich, and not just ordinary rich. In this case...

When two people with unique thinking patterns meet, what they do will definitely be even more unique.

Song Li pulled Jiang Xu aside and sat her down. He spoke earnestly, "Ahem...Brother Jin... Let me put it this way. Back in freshman year, Brother Jin often skipped classes to work odd jobs. He was a quiet guy. Sometimes he'd miss classes for days at a time, and when he came back, he was always covered in injuries. I don't know if he was fighting in an illegal boxing ring... Anyway, Brother Jin's family isn't well off. Listen to me, it's been tough for you two to get to where you are today. Brother Jin never cared about any girl, so I hope you don't despise him."

As he spoke, Song Li rubbed his nose, he was almost moved. Ninety-nine percent of what he said was false, but the remaining one percent, that is, the sincere hope that they would be together, was true.

Jiang Xu's eyes turned red after hearing this. She didn't even consider whether Song Li's words were true or not, and almost cried together with Song Li.

"What are you talking about?" Xu Zhixin saw the two of them whispering for a long time, so he came over and suddenly looked behind him and shouted, "Hey, Brother Jin, you're back."

Hearing the sound, Jiang Xu immediately stood up and ran behind Song Li, hugging He Jin accurately.

Before He Jin could react, he looked down and saw the girl looking up with red eyes.

Jiang Xu said in a very serious tone: "He Jin, stay with me. I will support you from now on."

He Jin: “?”

Song Li almost laughed out loud, but suddenly received a deathly gaze, his hair stood on end, and he immediately shook his head to indicate that he had done nothing.

Xu Zhixin stood there in a daze, looking confused. What on earth had he missed? He was hugged now. Wasn't there a grand confession? No flowers? No RMB? No gold and silver? Where is your financial resources, Miss?

"What's wrong?" He Jin asked gently.

Jiang Xu frowned, shook his head, and said seriously, "I can afford to support you."

He Jin thought that what made this girl so sad must be related to his "poor" background.

He smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Want to support me?"

Jiang Xu nodded heavily without pausing. He might have understood or he might not have heard at all. He just knew it was a question and didn't realize how wrong the word was.

The smile in He Jin's eyes grew stronger, and the emotions he had suppressed over the past few days surfaced in his heart. He said, "Okay, Miss Jiang."

!

"You promised me?!" Jiang Xu was shocked. It turned out that He Jin liked to be domineering.

"Yeah." He responded with another smile.

There was silence for a few seconds, and suddenly something soft and cold touched the corner of his lips, then immediately moved away.

He Jin was stunned and saw that the girl's face was flushed, and even her ears were red.

"No regrets?" he said.

Jiang Xu raised her eyes and met He Jin's rare serious gaze. It seemed as if something was surging, and her tone was unquestionable.

Jiang Xu subconsciously said, "What if I regret it?"

The young man smiled gently and said jokingly, "Then... I'll break your legs so you can only stay by my side."

She was given countless opportunities to regret from the beginning.

Jiang Xu laughed, of course she didn't listen, she was mumbling something, she just wanted to kiss him. She held He Jin's face with both hands again and kissed him on the lips, her almond eyes shining, "I don't regret it, absolutely not.

Song Li suddenly slapped Xu Zhixin, who was also stunned beside him, on the forehead and said, "Fuck, they are together." He was really possessed by Cupid, the god of love, and was really a matchmaker.

Xu Zhixin clicked his tongue and slapped him back, "Why are you hitting me when they're both in trouble?"

"...You don't understand how touched I am right now." Song Li said with a motherly look on his face, "Brother Jin's ten-thousand-year-old iron tree has finally blossomed."

——

"Fuck Jiang Xiaoxu, did you really catch He Jin?" Wu Yunyun said in surprise after returning to the classroom after the sports meeting, and secretly handed over her phone. On it was a photo of her kissing He Jin. The poster also added a striking headline [Shocking, the love affair of He Da Lao, the most beautiful girl in No. 3 Middle School, is exposed, and the target is actually the second best student in the grade!!!]

So far, it has been viewed by more than a thousand people.

The power of the Internet is truly touching and great.

"Fuck! This top-notch student who is also the school hunk has actually fallen into the mortal realm."

"Oh my god, this beauty is so proactive. Is this the charm of being a good student? She has such strong concentration."

"Help me, my dear Xu. One of you is first in the grade, and the other is second. Can you please leave some room for others to live?"

Qiu Tian, ​​who was standing by, suddenly sighed, "Jiang Xu, did you just see that? The look in Xu's eyes when she walked over to our class was so resentful. Hahahaha, she's been pursuing Master Jin for over a semester, but Master Jin never even glanced at her."

"Hahahaha, I've been annoyed with Xu Qinqin for a long time. She acts so high and mighty and weak all day long. I don't know who she's pretending to be. I've never seen her do any school bullying before. She's been getting along well with a few people from the underworld in No. 1 Middle School and is so arrogant.

"I remember back in my freshman year of high school, there was a girl in Class 10 who, for some reason, got herself into trouble. She called everyone out and joined the guys from No. 1 Middle School in blocking her out. The video showed a loud slapping noise. It was quite a big deal, and in the end, the girl from Class 10 was transferred to another school." Wu Yunyun was most enthusiastic when she talked about this kind of gossip, and Qiu Tian listened with even more amusement.

Jiang Xu listened to Wu Yunyun and seemed to have thought of something. He frowned slightly, but finally said nothing. He picked up his schoolbag, said something to them, and left.

——

The competition time is tight, and Jiang Xu also has to make up for the lessons during the sports meet. He has almost finished a competition book.

He Jin doesn't often come to class because he always plays basketball in the last class.

Jiang Xu didn't go there early today, and the seats in the front were all full. Looking back, she saw He Jin sitting in her usual seat. For the first time, he even brought a pen and a draft book with him. He leaned lazily on the chair, one hand on the armrest and the other hand on his leg, turning the pen.

As if he noticed his gaze, He Jin looked up and saw Jiang Xu standing at the door. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. He put down the chair next to him with his hand that was originally on the armrest and patted it, indicating that she should sit here.

Jiang Xu didn't avoid his gaze and walked straight over. Several gossipers in the front row kept glancing at her, but she didn't care.

The presence of the person next to her was too strong, and even without saying anything, Jiang Xu felt a little uncomfortable. She was the one pursuing him before, and now that she had succeeded, her position had changed and she didn't know how to speak. After all, she had watched dozens of idol dramas, and although she had no practical experience, she shouldn't be at a loss for words.

Jiang Xu was lying on the table thinking when suddenly someone gently pulled her ponytail. Then she heard He Jin's somewhat low voice, "Why aren't you talking?"

"!" Jiang Xu suddenly sat up, "I...you...it's not the teacher who is here." Seeing the teacher walking in from the door, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

He Jin followed his gaze and laughed, "What about before that?"

"What?" Jiang Xu met his gaze and asked knowingly.

He Jin patiently repeated, "Why didn't you talk to me before the teacher came?"

Jiang Xu: “…”

It’s not over yet.

"I haven't thought about what to say." I said in a tone that made me feel confident even though I was not in the right.

"Have you thought about it now?" He Jin laughed.

Jiang Xu: “…” Will falling in love directly unlock the seal?

She swallowed and shook her head, "No."

"Please ask the two students in the back row who are chatting to come up and complete this experiment with the teacher."

Jiang Xu: ………

It's an electrical experiment. It's not difficult but it's quite complicated. There are a lot of things connected by wires, and it requires measuring multiple sets of data and then finding the average value.

He Jin glanced at the question, took a pen and paper and drew the circuit diagram before connecting the actual object. The two of them had a tacit understanding. One handed the other the connection. After the actual circuit was connected, they began to measure, and they recorded one by one. They finished it very quickly. The teacher stood by and watched, nodding in appreciation.

They are indeed a perfect couple, these two physics geniuses, it's so pleasing to the eye standing together doing experiments.

The final measured data were consistent with the answers. "You two students did a great job," the teacher praised. "Okay, then you can go down and listen carefully. If there are seats in the front row, try to sit in the front row and don't waste resources."
