Chapter 71 High School Part 7 If we met in high school.
Hearing this, Sheng Jianan paused and subconsciously turned his gaze towards Jiang Chi.
I made eye contact with him.
Jiang Chi looked at him, licked the inexplicably itchy tips of his teeth, lightly touched his cheek with his tongue, kicked Ling Mo, and smiled.
"Hiss——" Ling Mo took a breath, "Why did you kick me? What did I say wrong? Is our new classmate ugly?"
He turned his gaze to the other brothers beside him and said, "What do you think of our new classmate?"
Sheng Jianan: “…”
"She's pretty, of course she's pretty." The boy next to me said, "My deskmate in front of me keeps talking about how pretty our new classmate is, and she turns around eight hundred times a day."
Hearing this, Jiang Chi sneered: "Idle."
The boy turned to Jiang Chi and said with a smile, "Hey, Brother Chi, don't talk about others. My deskmate told me that every time she looks back, she sees you harassing the new students."
Jiang Chi: “…”
Ling Mo chuckled.

After dinner, some of the students did not attend evening self-study and left directly. Originally Jiang Chi was also in this group, but recently he has been very well behaved. Although he has not attended many classes, he has not missed any.
Originally Ling Mo was still thinking that even if Jiang Chi liked someone, there was no need for him to stay in the classroom so quietly every day. Chasing someone didn't mean he couldn't play games.
Looking at it this way, all his recent abnormalities can be explained. Jiang Chi has been so well-behaved only since a new classmate transferred here.
Everyone else was teasing Jiang Chi for turning over a new leaf recently, but Ling Mo looked at him meaningfully and smiled slightly.
The group said goodbye at the restaurant entrance, some went online, some went home, and Jiang Chi and Sheng Jianan returned to the classroom.
It was still early and there were only a few students in the classroom. Sheng Jianan sat down, poured a glass of water and made a cup of peach oolong tea. Then he looked at Jiang Chi's back, thought of something, took out his cell phone and took a look.
Jiang Chi really didn't take the money.
Sheng Jianan raised his head and looked at Jiang Chi in front of him. He was playing with his mobile phone and turning a pen in his hand boredly. He looked very bored.
After a few seconds of pause, Sheng Jianan gently poked Jiang Chi's back with a pen.
Jiang Chi turned sideways and stuffed his phone into the table: "What's wrong?"
"Didn't you take the money?" Sheng Jianan asked.
Jiang Chi paused, looked at him, and after a while he said nonchalantly, "It's just a few dozen dollars."
"...Yeah." Sheng Jianan thought for a moment and said tactfully, "But I don't really like owing others money."
These words were too distant, which made Jiang Chi feel a little unhappy. But on second thought, it seemed like they had only known each other for a few days. In the past, it was always others who rushed to make friends with him, but Sheng Jianan was the first one he approached, and the other person ignored him.
Hearing this again, Jiang Chi inexplicably felt a little sour in his heart.
However, Sheng Jianan has an extremely slow-to-warm-up personality, so that seems understandable.
Although he tried hard to comfort himself, Jiang Chi still felt an indescribable irritation in his heart, and he couldn't describe this subtle feeling. Anyway, I just feel uncomfortable all over.
After a long silence, Jiang Chi said, "What's the big deal? I have a lot of money. Just think of me as someone who likes to spend money."
“……” Sheng Jianan looked at him.
After staring at each other for a moment, Jiang Chi was afraid that Sheng Jianan would see the faint and shameful thought in his heart, so he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and raised his chin towards He Jun: "Don't get me wrong, I often treat He Jun and others to dinner."
It seems like there is something fishy going on here.
"...I didn't misunderstand." Sheng Jianan said.
But since Jiang Chi has said this, it would seem inhumane not to accept it.
After thinking for a while, Sheng Jianan said, "Then I'll treat you next time."
This was a pleasant surprise. Jiang Chi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay."
Sheng Jianan: "Okay, then tell me what you want to eat."
He spoke in a very formal manner. In the past, Jiang Chi hated getting along with people of this kind of mild temperament. He had no patience and would find them nagging.
But when he looked at Sheng Jianan, he thought he looked a little cute. Speaking and doing things in a methodical manner always aroused an indescribable feeling in his heart, making him always want to do something but not knowing what to do.
-
After the evening study, when Sheng Jianan was packing her schoolbag, Jiang Chi turned around.
He tossed the car keys in his hand and asked with a smile, "Shall I give you a ride?"
Originally, Sheng Jianan wanted to refuse. He was used to being independent and didn't like to trouble others.
However, when she raised her eyes and met Jiang Chi's gaze, she saw that his eyes were smiling and contained a hint of expectation. Sheng Jianan paused, lowered his eyes, was silent for a while, and nodded slightly.
Jiang Chi was immediately happy, his lips curled up, and he stood up from his chair: "Let's go."
A boy happened to pass by and saw Jiang Chi's expression. He smiled and joked: "Oh, something good happened. Our brother Chi is so happy today."
After all, Jiang Chi didn’t have much emotion in the past, and this kind of smile rarely appeared on him.
Hearing this, Sheng Jianan also glanced at him, and saw Jiang Chi curling his lips at him, and then smiled casually at the boy: "What's your business?"
There was an obvious smile in his tone.
The boy didn't care. He laughed with him twice and left the classroom.
Sheng Jianan couldn't help but glance at Jiang Chi. Although they seemed to be the typical bad students in the class, they seemed to get along well with every classmate. Everyone also likes to joke with them.
Noticing his gaze, Jiang Chi tilted his head and raised his eyebrows: "What are you looking at? Do you think I'm handsome?"
"..." Sheng Jianan looked away and told the truth, "You don't need to notice, you are already very handsome."
Jiang Chi, who had been praised all the time when he was growing up and had heard these words so many times, felt his heart skip a beat for no apparent reason for the first time in his life when someone praised him for being handsome.
He looked at Sheng Jianan's profile for several seconds before looking away.
The stairwell after evening self-study get out of class was noisy and crowded with people.
Unfortunately, the lighting in the stairwell is still dim, and we have to rely on the weak light coming in from the corridor for illumination. There were boys pushing and fighting on the stairs above. Jiang Chi looked up and frowned. He pulled Sheng Jianan inside and stood outside him to isolate himself from the crowd.
After walking a few steps, the two boys above suddenly started chasing each other with laughter, knocking several classmates away along the way, causing the classmates nearby to curse at them.
When they ran to Jiang Chi, the boy in front was grabbed by the collar by the person behind him, and the two immediately started pulling each other. Jiang Chi turned his head to the side, frowning slightly. Just as he was about to warn them, he was hit hard by the two people pushing and shoving. He was caught off guard and knocked into Sheng Jianan, who pushed him against the wall in a wall-dong posture.
In the dim and noisy stairwell, the two were so close that they could hear each other's breathing.
Sheng Jianan subconsciously held his breath, his eyes lingered on Jiang Chi's tall nose for a moment, then looked away.
Jiang Chi looked at the face so close to him, the whiteness that could not be covered by the dim and blurry stairwell, and his Adam's apple could not help but rise and fall.
He could feel Sheng Jianan breathing lightly, a faint scent coming from him, with a hint of peach.
He seems to particularly like peach-flavored things.
"Damn it." The boy playing behind him was so scared that he cursed when he saw that it was Jiang Chi. Then he immediately lowered his voice and told his companions, "Jiang Chi."
The companion opened his eyes and was also a little surprised: "Really?"
The boy nodded, then smiled and said to Jiang Chi: "Sorry, Brother Chi, I accidentally bumped into you."
Hearing his words, the girl who had already walked downstairs complained unhappily: "You bumped into more than one person."
"That's right, can you please stop fighting in the stairwell? What if something dangerous happens?"
Someone started it, and then many people followed suit and made a few complaints.
Hearing so much criticism suddenly, the two boys were a little annoyed. However, when they saw Jiang Chi next to them, they immediately became timid and had to apologize quietly.
Seeing Jiang Chi maintaining one posture and not reacting, Sheng Jianan raised her eyes and met his straight gaze. Sheng Jianan paused, then immediately looked away, with a blush on his face, and pushed Jiang Chi: "They are talking to you."
After several seconds, Jiang Chi slowly let him go. By then, many people nearby were already looking at them curiously. Handsome guys are always very popular, and seeing this, many people have started gossiping to each other.
Jiang Chi, however, paid no attention to these gazes. He put his hands in his trouser pockets, lowered his eyebrows, and looked at the two boys in front of him.
Upon seeing this, the two boys immediately apologized to Jiang Chi. However, when I glanced at Sheng Jianan, I saw him lowering his head and straightening his wrinkled school uniform. He looked like a very well-behaved student. After lingering for a moment, the two simply ignored him.
"What did you say? I couldn't hear you clearly. Speak louder." Jiang Chi said casually.
An arm was placed on Sheng Jianan's shoulders, pulling him to his side.
The two boys immediately understood his attitude, and immediately shouted to Sheng Jianan: "I'm sorry."
After apologizing, probably because he felt embarrassed, one of the boys looked unhappy and said in a bad tone: "Is it ok? Can we go now?"
"No." Jiang Chi looked at him expressionlessly, then turned his gaze to the other person beside him, "Come on, push him."
The boy paused, took two seconds to react, looked at Jiang Chi, and then looked at his companion beside him.
"No?" Jiang Chi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you need my help?"
The boy was silent for a moment: "Yes."
"Hurry up then." Jiang Chi looked at his watch impatiently, "I'll give you two minutes."
At this time, the students who had finished their classes had already dispersed, and only a few stayed behind to watch the fun. The two boys started pushing and shoving each other in front of everyone, and they seemed to be really getting excited as they pushed each other.
Sheng Jianan: “…”
Sheng Jianan tugged at the hem of Jiang Chi's clothes, and Jiang Chi looked at him sideways.
"It's too late, I want to go home first." Sheng Jianan said.
"Let's go." Jiang Chi put his arm around his shoulders and walked around the two boys and went downstairs.
Only when their backs disappeared at the stairs and the students who had been watching the fun dispersed did the two boys breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, they had never seen Jiang Chi fight, but they were inexplicably afraid of him. When Jiang Chi had a cold face, the feeling of oppression was really strong.
-
The next morning, the alarm clock rang on time, Sheng Jianan got up from the bed and went to wash up.
After washing up and having breakfast, Sheng Jianan took out his cell phone and took a look at it when he entered the room to carry his schoolbag.
No news.
He turned off the phone again and stuffed it back into his bag.
After saying goodbye to Mother Sheng and walking out of the community, Sheng Jianan saw a familiar figure on the side of the road as soon as he reached the door. Jiang Chi had one foot on the bicycle pedal and was playing with his cell phone.
Sheng Jianan paused and walked over.
Before he even got close to him, Jiang Chi raised his head as if he had sensed something, looked at him, and raised his eyebrows subconsciously.
"Why are you here?" Sheng Jianan asked.
He lowered his eyes and found that Jiang Chi had changed to a mountain bike today, and there seemed to be a seat installed at the back.
"On the way." Jiang Chi said, "Get in the car."
Sheng Jianan: "Did you change the car?"
"Yeah." Jiang Chi looked at him and smiled, "The car was borrowed."
At that time, he wanted to find a new way to send Sheng Jianan off, so he hijacked a classmate's car on the way.
-
Early in the morning, when the two of them walked into the classroom one after the other, He Jun was already copying homework inside. He looked up when he heard the voice and was stunned when he saw them. Then he asked, "How did you get here together? Did you meet on the road?"
"We're going the same way." Jiang Chi said ambiguously, threw his schoolbag onto the table, and sat down sideways.
"You have time to go together, but you don't have time to have breakfast with me." He Jun laughed, "What's going on recently? I called for breakfast in the group early this morning, but no one came."
Jiang Chi sneered: "Who has time to have breakfast with you every day?"
He Jun choked, and while quickly copying his homework, he stole a glance at him and said, "If you don't want to eat with me, why don't you find someone to eat with you?"
Jiang Chi lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
After a while, he glanced sideways at Sheng Jianan who had just returned after pouring the water. As soon as he sat down, he drank a few sips of water, which was his daily routine. After drinking the water, he started to organize his homework and did everything meticulously.
Although it was a fairly quiet morning, Jiang Chi always felt that Sheng Jianan had made him very busy.
After packing up everything, Sheng Jianan raised his eyes and met Jiang Chi's gaze.
Seeing this, Jiang Chi raised his chin and said, "Can I have some of your water? I forgot to buy water today."
He Jun, who was standing by, raised his head and said, "You didn't buy any water? I just bought two bottles. I'll give you one."
He said as he took out a bottle and placed it on the corner of the table.
"..." Jiang Chi and Sheng Jianan looked at each other for a few seconds, and the latter lowered his eyes.
The meaning was obvious, he was asked to get He Jun's water. Jiang Chi understood.
-
The four classes in the morning passed in a flash. When the bell rang for the last get out of class, He Jun stood up immediately and said, "Let's go eat."
Unlike his eagerness, Jiang Chi was slow. He sat on the chair and played with his pen for a while before getting up slowly.
As the group walked to the back door, Jiang Chi heard the squad leader behind him shout, "Let's go, Jianan."
"Okay." Sheng Jianan stuffed the book into the desk and stood up.
"What are you doing? Jiang Chi, why don't you leave?" He Jun shouted outside.
Ling Mo watched from the side, neither reminding nor saying anything, with an expression completely like he was watching a show.
Jiang Chi leaned against the back door frame, playing with the mobile phone in his hand openly.
The squad leader walked out the door first, and seeing Jiang Chi leaning against the door, he asked with a smile: "What are you eating today? Still at that restaurant?"
Jiang Chi pulled the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "I don't know."
The monitor didn't ask any more questions and waited for Sheng Jianan at the door.
Not long after, Sheng Jianan came over. When he was about to reach Jiang Chi, he looked up and saw Jiang Chi looking at him. Immediately afterwards, a long leg blocked his way.
The squad leader was stunned, looked at Jiang Chi, then looked at Sheng Jianan, then smiled and said, "Stop it, Jiang Chi. We're starving. Let's go eat first, and we'll talk when we come back."
Jiang Chi didn't say anything, just stared at Sheng Jianan without blinking.
In the squad leader's eyes, this seemed like a war was about to break out.
He couldn't help but start to get anxious, wondering what to do. If Sheng Jianan offended Jiang Chi, it would be a really troublesome thing.
