The first morning self-study session had already ended, but the boys at Jinsheng High School were still reeling from the stunning beauty of Tang Ning. The school forum was already flooded with photos of Tang Ning, and more and more people were joining the discussion.
On the other side, Yin Yuqing couldn't help but keep scrolling through the school's forum. Seeing the lavish praise for Tang Ning, she felt a little sour. She forced herself to close the forum and turn off her phone.
It was then that she suddenly realized that the newcomer, Tang Ning, was gone, and even... even A Yao was gone. This instantly filled Yin Yuqing's heart with an indescribable panic.
Without thinking, she immediately called Jiang Yao.
Almost simultaneously, Jiang Yao, who was standing on the rooftop with Tang Ning, turned off his phone without hesitation, even through his pants, before turning his gaze back to Tang Ning's face.
What brings you here?
"Can't I come?"
Tang Ning retorted without backing down, "Am I, your fiancée, something so shameful to you?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yao suddenly looked up and stared intently at her.
"We have already dissolved our engagement..."
"Did I agree to it? You insisted on getting engaged to me without even asking me, and now you want to break off the engagement without my consent. Jiang Yao, what do you take me for!"
Tang Ning's eyes immediately reddened.
“Ningning… why don’t you understand? My feelings for you have never been romantic love from the beginning, and they still aren’t. All these years, I’ve only ever treated you like a little sister. And you don’t really like me either. It’s just… it’s just that all these years, besides Jin Yan, I’ve been the only other guy in your life. You haven’t had any contact with anyone else, so you mistakenly think that your feelings for me are love. That’s wrong. We shouldn’t live our lives in such a muddle!”
Jiang Yao tried to persuade her.
"Love is different. When you don't see me, you miss me. When you see me, your heart races. But I've never felt that way about you..."
"You've never felt that way about me, yet you can describe it so clearly. So, have you felt that way about other girls before? That's why you're so sure..."
After saying this with some difficulty, Tang Ning blinked and tears that had been accumulating in her eyes fell from her eyes.
"I……"
Jiang Yao clenched his fist, finding it difficult to answer.
The two remained silent facing each other for a long time. The wind on the rooftop howled and quickly dried the tears on Tang Ning's cheeks.
After what seemed like an eternity, her icy voice finally broke through the silence, “Is she the girl in your photo album? I just saw her sitting at the same table as you.”
Tang Ning's words were like a thunderbolt to Jiang Yao.
He looked at Tang Ning in disbelief.
Unexpectedly, Tang Ning chuckled at him, "Your reaction tells me I guessed right, it really is her!"
"No……"
"You don't need to rush to deny it. Actually, after seeing the picture of her sleeping on your phone, I started to suspect her gender. I never expected... that you would actually fall for a girl who disguised herself as a boy to attend Jinsheng Boys' High School... Ha, hehehe, this is just too funny!"
Tang Ning chuckled twice.
Then, with a defiant glint in his eyes, he looked directly at Jiang Yao in front of him and asked, "Tell me... what would happen if I exposed her identity?"
"Tang Ning!"
Jiang Yao stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, squeezing it as if he wanted to crush it.
She seemed completely oblivious to the pain, raising her head and moving closer to Jiang Yao.
"What's wrong? Are you upset? Can't bear to part with her? It seems you really, really like her... But I don't see anything about her that's better than mine. Her skin isn't as fair as mine, her face is bigger, her hair isn't as black, and her eyes are smaller. Judging from your chat, her family background and grades are nothing to brag about. What do you like about her? You can't just like her because she's ugly, can you? Your taste is rather unique..."
Tang Ning said this with a sarcastic expression.
"you……"
Just as Jiang Yao was about to say something, Tang Ning spoke first in a cold voice, "Three months."
"What……"
Jiang Yao was somewhat taken aback by Tang Ning's abrupt and unpredictable train of thought.
"I won't reveal the girl you like's true gender. In exchange, you'll date me for another three months. After three months, if you're sure you still... like that girl, then I'll back out and will also tell my dad to completely dissolve our engagement!"
Tang Ning said this with a serious expression.
"You're insane... Why would you come up with such an absurd request! I can't possibly agree to it!"
Jiang Yao released Tang Ning's wrist and started to walk downstairs.
"I've seen all your WeChat chat history. You two aren't officially together yet, just in a vague, ambiguous stage, right? If you like a girl, you should deal with all your exes before getting together with her. That's what a responsible guy does. Or do you want me to go find that girl named Yin Yufeng right now, tell her I'm your fiancée, and tell her to stay away from you!"
"you……"
Jiang Yao suddenly turned his head.
"Is three months a short time, or are you worried that you'll fall in love with me again during these three months and completely forget about someone else?"
"That's impossible!"
Jiang Yao resolutely blocked the railway.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning fell silent for a moment, then clenched her fist tightly, her fingernails leaving several deep crescent-shaped marks in her palm.
"Then... that's settled. Since you're so sure you're still so devoted to her, what difference does it make whether you have these three months or not? You can get rid of a clingy fiancée and be with your girl properly. Why not?"
Tang Ning stared intently into Jiang Yao's eyes as she spoke.
The light in her eyes was too intense, too hot, as if it wanted to burn him completely.
Jiang Yao subconsciously avoided her gaze, and then clenched his fist as well.
His voice only rang out slowly when the school bell rang in their ears, "Okay, I hope you'll keep your word!"
After saying that, Jiang Yao pushed open the door in front of him without hesitation and went straight downstairs.
As soon as he disappeared from her sight, Tang Ning's tears immediately fell.
She chuckled to herself, making 54088 wonder what was wrong with her, and she quickly whispered in her ear to ask her.
"Tangbao, Tangbao, what's wrong?"
"Nothing much, I just discovered something fun!"
She saw it! She caught a glimpse of the purple name flashing by at the bottom of the stairs when Jiang Yao pushed open the door.
It says on it—
Mu Sheng.
System score: 99.
Current favorability rating: 0.
This is why she still shed tears after Jiang Yao left.
Silently shedding tears wasn't enough; soon Tang Ning squatted down and began to sob. Taking advantage of the fact that "no one was around," she cried louder and more desperately.
She was just a beautiful young girl who had been abandoned by her fiancé, making her last desperate struggle. All her pretense collapsed and disappeared as soon as he left, completely exposing her most vulnerable and vulnerable side.
She really loved this pitiful, adorable, and interesting character.
She didn't know how long she had been crying. Her legs were a little numb from squatting on the ground. She slowly stood up, wiped the tears off her face, and ran downstairs. But at the door, she bumped into a handsome man in a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses. Her nose felt a little sore from the impact.
She looked up in surprise, just in time to let the person who came over see her face covered in tears and her eyes red.
Startled, Tang Ning said "I'm sorry" in a hoarse voice and ran downstairs from the man's side.
Mu Sheng was left standing there, watching the other person's departing figure, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Yes, he already knew that Jiang Yao, the guy Yuqing liked, had a girlfriend, and he had also received news that his girlfriend would be coming to Jinsheng Boys' High School today. Since he had nothing to do at the school hospital, he came here specifically to see what this legendary rival of Yuqing looked like and what his personality was like.
Unexpectedly, he overheard an interesting conversation behind the door, at which point he thought his fiancée was a wildcat who could hurt people.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the person left, she cried like a little kitten that had been abandoned by its owner on a rainy day.
It's really...
interesting.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but even though the other person had been gone for a long time, he could still seem to smell the faint fragrance of their hair.
Thinking of this, the man raised his hand and gently pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. A glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Mu Sheng's current favorability rating: 5.
Stingy!
Hearing this notification sound, Tang Ning, who had already gone downstairs, scoffed inwardly.
That guy is a total jerk, even a fool would know he'd be hard to win over, thankfully she got off to a good start. She doesn't believe that Mu Sheng's feelings for Yin Yuqing in the story are love, so she needs to think carefully about how to win him over.
After tidying herself up in the bathroom for a while, and making sure that no one could tell she had been crying, she slowly walked into the classroom.
At this moment, Xu Xingbo, who was sitting in the last row of the classroom and had skipped the first class to work, was not bothered by the teacher as long as he maintained his first-place grades. He was staring in astonishment at Tang Ning, who walked in through the back door of the classroom, his lips slightly parted.
Then, as if he hadn't seen Tang Ning at all, he walked straight to Jiang Yao, who was not far from him, and said with a smile, "Excuse me, sir... um, classmate Yin, could you move aside? I'd like to sit here."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yuqing, who had been called out by Tang Ning, looked up in a panic. "I...I'm sorry, then...you sit down. You're a new classmate, and a girl, so you can sit wherever you want. I'm fine, I'll get up right away!"
The more she rushed, the more chaotic things became. As Yin Yuqing was packing her things, her hands became clumsy, and books, stationery, and other items fell to the ground with a clatter.
Is this... really necessary?
Tang Ning's lips twitched inwardly.
At this moment, Jiang Yao couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed Yin Yuqing's hand and yelled at Tang Ning, "That's enough! Yu Feng has been my deskmate for half a year now. Why should she give way to you the moment you arrive? Don't go too far!"
Then Tang Ning looked at Yin Yuqing, who was hanging her head in surprise, and tears began to fall down her face.
this……
While mentally ranting, Tang Ning's face instantly paled. "Fine, I don't want her to give in, but I hope you can keep your promises to me."
After saying that, Tang Ning looked around the classroom with a somewhat bewildered expression. When she saw the empty seat next to Xu Xingbo, she went straight to him without hesitation.
The moment Tang Ning sat down next to him, she immediately felt the boy sitting beside her suddenly stiffen.
"Hello, new...wait, it's you!"
Tang Ning gives herself a perfect score of 100 for her acting skills!
I sat in the same seat as Xu Xingbo.
As for Jiang Yao, the tool, she doesn't care if he dies!
Xu Xingbo's current favorability rating: 32.
She likes these kind of well-behaved babies who are easy to win over!
Tang Ning's smile grew even brighter.
The author has something to say: There's no need to pay too much attention to Jiang Zha. To Ningning, he's just a walking cuckold and a useful tool.
Imagine three months from now—
Jiang Zha: Ningning, I'm sure now, the person I've always loved is you!
Tang Bao: Brother Jiang Yao, I've thought about it, and I realize you're right. My feelings for you aren't romantic love; I just see you as a brother. You understand, right? [Green tea face]
