Chapter 15 How can you compare to me? (Including forum content)...
After the opening ceremony, each class returned to their classroom in turn.
Back on the fourth floor, Jiang Deyu rushed into the classroom and turned on the air conditioner.
When the other boys came in, they saw him standing in front of the air vent of the standing air conditioner, drinking water from a cup.
He was tall and strong, and when he stood there, he was like a wall, completely blocking out the cold wind.
The boy in the lead laughed and cursed, "Damn it, are you even human?"
"Phew, I'm finally alive again." Jiang Deyu wiped his mouth heartily after drinking almost half a bottle of water in one gulp. "Not yet, I'll just blow on it a little longer."
"Keep bragging?" Tong Xia sneered. "If we keep bragging, we won't be the same people anymore."
"Brothers, get him!"
...
"Brother Ji, Brother Ji, save me!"
Ji Jingyu walked slowly into the classroom. He didn't even lift his eyelids when Jiang Deyu called for help, and went back to his seat.
Tong Xia pressed down on Jiang Deyu's pleading hand, grinning maliciously as he pressed down on him: "Give me your life... Why are your eyes twitching?"
Jiang Deyu rolled his eyes. "Your eyes are the ones that are twitching. Didn't you notice that Brother Ji is in a bad mood?"
"No." Tong Xia recalled Ji Jingyu's expression when she entered the room.
Still so aloof, so expressionless.
Nothing different from usual.
"No wonder you're just his classmates, and I'm the only one who's his good friend." Jiang Deyu rolled his eyes again. "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm going to see my brother Ji."
Tong Xia was skeptical. "You're not using Brother Ji as a cover, are you?"
"If I were lying to you, I would always be last in my exams."
"Such a vicious oath? Fine, fine, I'll let you off this time."
The boys quickly dispersed. Jiang Deyu picked up the water glass from the ground and slowly approached Ji Jingyu. "Brother Ji, what's wrong with you?"
From the moment she sat down in the classroom, Ji Jingyu maintained this posture.
His deep eyes were slightly narrowed, his gaze fixed on the swaying and still treetops outside the window, as if he were quietly contemplating something. But upon closer inspection, one would notice that his gaze was somewhat unfocused, more like he was lost in thought.
When Jiang Deyu asked him, he looked up and replied indifferently, "It's nothing."
Nobody would believe nothing's wrong.
Jiang Deyu secretly grumbled to himself.
But he also knew Ji Jingyu's personality; if he didn't want to talk, no one could make him.
Jiang Deyu returned to his seat, thought for a moment, and then took out his phone to send a message to Jiang Sui.
[Jiang Sui, have you decided which class you'll be in?]
Jiang Sui was probably still busy and didn't reply to his message.
Since none of them paid any attention to him, Jiang Deyu felt even more depressed.
He exited WeChat, intending to play a game for fun, but accidentally clicked on the browser, which was still showing the Renren.com forum.

The blazing sunlight streamed down through the dense, lush branches, casting dappled golden spots on the concrete. Occasionally, a few students in school uniforms would peek out from behind the trees, all hurrying along the school paths.
Almost every classroom had its doors and windows tightly closed, and the humming air conditioners diligently dispelled the heat and stuffiness inside.
There was still an hour before lunch, so Sun Hao came to the classroom briefly and told them to study quietly on their own.
Jiang Deyu had his textbooks spread out on his desk in a pretentious manner, but his eyes kept glancing under the desk.
Ji Jingyu found herself unable to concentrate again.
Thanks to his good eyesight, he spotted Jiang Sui at a glance, as well as Chi An standing next to her.
Even though the two weren't standing very close, he could sense their familiarity from a distance.
Just as he had guessed, Jiang Sui knew Chi An, and the two were probably quite close.
Perhaps Chi An was Jiang Sui's only friend before he came to Xunning.
Jiang Sui grew up in Licheng, a place he couldn't reach, so it's perfectly normal for her to have many friends.
Ji Jingyu kept trying to convince herself.
But when he heard Jiang Deyu guess that Jiang Sui might go to Class 8, he still couldn't control his emotions.
She had clearly promised Xia Fan that they would definitely be in the same class.
A feeling called "jealousy" swept over him, and for a moment he even wanted to ask Jiang Sui if the three of them combined were not as good as Chi An.
A little liar who doesn't keep his word.
"Damn it!" Jiang Deyu cursed under his breath.
Although he tried his best to lower his voice, his presence was still quite noticeable in the rather quiet classroom.
"Jiang Deyu!" Discipline Committee member Tian Tian glared at him with hostility. "What are you doing? Trying to rebel?"
"Sister Tian, I promise it won't happen again." Jiang Deyu made a pleading gesture towards Tian Tian, then held up his phone, "You guys go check the forum, someone actually wants to beat up our Brother Ji!"
Although Ji Jingyu has a cold and reserved personality, he is good at academics and sports. He has won many honors for his class throughout high school and is the invisible backbone and face of Class 2.
Therefore, Jiang Deyu's words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up the entire class.
"Which bastard dares to hit our Brother Ji? Does he have a death wish?"
"Damn, I can't find my phone. Can I borrow yours so we can take a look together?"
"I found the post, I'll share the link in the class group."

Several high schools in Xunning have an unofficial joint forum, with each school having its own exclusive section. The forum is usually filled with posts about complaining, confessing feelings, chatting, and making friends.
I must say, the person who posted this has a knack for choosing titles.
The goal of Xunning No. 2 Middle School to be "first in the grade" is very clear.
Everyone at Xunning No. 2 High School, including the freshmen who just enrolled this year, knows who is the top student in the grade.
As a result, the post quickly became a trending topic and was prominently featured on the forum's homepage.
"Did you all see the scene at today's opening ceremony that was even more exciting than J's speech? Here is the whole story. It may be a bit long, but you must be patient and read it all. It's high-energy from start to finish!"
It all started when someone praised the top student in the grade, and L, unconvinced, said the top student was just showing off and that he'd find a chance to beat him to a pulp (his exact words). Because L's behavior was rather underhanded, everyone was angry but dared not speak out. That's when the transfer student stepped in…”
[Also present +1, and to add, L is from Class 8. The transfer student is Zhen Yong. L's fierce eyes were even a little scary to me, a guy. Not only did she dare to look L in the eye, but she also seemed to roll her eyes at him at the end.]
[I feel like Lin Yongnian didn't take it seriously at first. If it weren't for the transfer student's incredible maneuvering, L would be perfectly fine now.]
[Hey, if the school really took this seriously, would L be so arrogant?]
[On a side note, how did you guys know she was a transfer student?]
[She came with Lin Yongnian, and she wasn't wearing a school uniform, understand?]
[I seriously suspect the transfer student knew the top student in the grade beforehand; this show of protectiveness is just too genuine.]
[Actually, I'm a little worried because L said he'd kill her if the transfer student was just a regular student.]
Anyone can talk tough, but I'm telling you this: L is a coward, he absolutely won't dare!
[A student from No. 1 High School randomly appeared; No. 2 High School is really chaotic! I support the top student in the grade transferring to No. 1 High School.]
[Get lost! This is No. 2 Middle School's territory. No. 1 Middle School students, don't come here looking for trouble.]
...
"Decoded! This L must be Li Lin from Class 8. This bastard isn't even as good as a single hair on our Brother Ji's head, yet he dares to spout such nonsense. Does he really think Class 2 has no one left?"
"He's just taking advantage of the fact that the people in our class can't hear him, otherwise we would have pinned him to the ground in no time."
"A mere two thousand-word self-criticism and a week of sweeping the playground? That's too lenient on this bastard!"
"Could the transfer student they're talking about be the one who's transferring to our class?"
"She's better. Can't our whole class protect one girl?"
"Quiet down, everyone stop talking." Tian Tian spoke up again to maintain order. "If you have anything to say, type it in the class group chat. If we call the teacher, we're all doomed."

"Brother Ji, do you think Jiang Sui did this?"
Jiang Deyu thought about it more and more and felt that this was possible, after all, she was there at the time.
"So, she didn't want to go to Class 8, but rather to teach that bastard Li Lin a lesson for you."
"Um."
Ji Jingyu's voice was extremely low, but Jiang Deyu could detect a hint of pleasure in that simple word.
It's really rare, and it seems that Brother Ji has returned to normal and is no longer acting up.
Jiang Deyu thought.
"How do you know? Did Jiang Sui tell you?"
"Yes, she told me."
The boy in the blue and white school uniform leaned lazily against the back of his chair, his long legs slightly bent with nowhere to go. After replying to the message with one hand, he briefly and stingily showed Jiang Deyu his chat history with Jiang Sui.
I heard you stood up for me?
[Four Friends: [Cat Shocked.gif]]
[Four friends: How did you find out so quickly? You installed a surveillance camera on me?]
Ji Jingyu was amused by her reply.
【Yes, I pretended.】
[Four close friends: So tell me, where am I right now?]
Ji Jingyu tentatively replied: "In the teachers' offices on this floor?"
[Four friends: Wow, Brother Ji, you're amazing! But I'm so bored right now. Lou Yongnian went to whisper with Sun Hao, and Mom isn't in the office either.]
The teaching building of Xunning No. 2 Middle School has four floors, with four classes on each floor, plus a teacher's office and a toilet.
Although she couldn't go to Su Yinian's Class 4, she wasn't too far from Su Yinian.
Jiang Sui felt once again that choosing Class Two was an absolutely correct decision.
"Shall I chat with you for a while?"
[Four friends: [Cat nodding.gif]]
[You've decided to come to our class? I thought you'd choose Class 4.]
Ji Jingyu instinctively skipped over Chi An.
Through the phone screen, Jiang Sui naturally couldn't notice his odd behavior. "You're all in Class Two, of course I'll choose Class Two."
Thank you for defending me so much.
[Four close friends: Our Brother Ji is so outstanding, he's not someone some nobody can slander. I originally wanted him to come and apologize to you in person, but then I thought that given your personality, you probably wouldn't want to associate with someone like that, so I didn't bring it up.]
[Do you know me that well?]
Upon seeing this, Jiang Sui couldn't help but think to herself, "You're my pre-arranged boyfriend, of course I know you."
But she couldn't say this to Ji Jingyu right now, lest she scare him away.
[Four close friends: So just tell me I guessed wrong or not?]
Yes, you guessed right.
He was supposed to show him the chat history, but Ji Jingyu scrolled the screen too fast, and even though Jiang Deyu opened his eyes wide, he couldn't see anything at all.
But the only thing he was certain of was that Jiang Sui had ignored him.
"Why did Jiang Sui only reply to you and not me? I was the one who asked first, she's so biased!"
Ji Jingyu took back her phone and gave him a cold look. "How can you compare to me?"
Jiang Deyu: "What do you mean?"
“I’m her apartment across the hall, and you’re just a downstairs neighbor who lives one floor below her.”
Is this how you compare things?
Jiang Deyu had even more questions on his mind.
[Four close friends: They're back! I'll be there soon, wait for me.]
Ji Jingyu turned off her phone.
For the first time, I looked at the door with such anticipation.
Author's Note: Jiang Deyu: So what if you live across the hall?
Xiao Ji: Yes, that's amazing.
Thank you to all the little angels who voted for me or watered my plants with nutrient solution between 09:39:12 on 2024 and 00:55:48 on 2024!
