Chapter 77 High School (Thirteen) If we met in high school.
Sheng Jianan raised his head when he heard that, glanced at the girl, and then his eyes fell on Jiang Chi.
He frowned slightly and asked the girl, "Who said that?"
As he said this, he glanced at Sheng Jianan.
After looking at him for a moment, Sheng Jianan lowered his eyes.
The girl glanced at Sheng Jianan and said nothing. After a while, she said ambiguously, "Some people have been saying that you and He Jun will go abroad in the future."
At this time, He Jun, who had finished chatting somewhere else, came back and just heard these words. He glanced at the table in front of him, then looked at Sheng Jianan and Jiang Chi.
"What? Jiang Chi and I will go abroad?" He Jun sat down on the chair, "Who said that?"
The girl at the front table glanced at him and hummed.
He Jun smiled, then glanced at Jiang Chi: "Are you going to go out? If you go out, I will go out too."
Jiang Chi's mouth twitched slightly, and he lifted his eyelids to look at him: "Whatever I give, I can get one book without any problem. Do you think everyone is the same as you?"
He Jun: “…”
It’s so fucking awesome.
"Yes, yes, you are awesome. I will just watch you brag quietly. Don't let your boasting get exposed later." He Jun said.
Jiang Chi sneered, not bothering to pay attention to him, and glanced at Sheng Jianan.
He Jun also snorted, turned sideways and went to talk to someone else.
Jiang Chi looked at Sheng Jianan for a few seconds, then pulled the pen back from his hand: "Sheng Nannan."
Sheng Jianan raised his eyes and twisted his two fingers together: "What?"
Jiang Chi looked at him and smiled: "Why do you believe everyone else's words but not me?"
"...What do I trust you for?" Sheng Jianan half-lowered his eyes and spoke softly, "Do I trust you to get into a top university?"
There was obvious suspicion in his tone.
Well, Sheng Jianan really doesn't have any trust in him at all. Jiang Chi thought.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Jiang Chi licked his teeth and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Okay."
He tapped his fingers on the table and suggested, "How about we make a bet?"
It's obvious that he's thinking of some evil ideas again.
Sheng Jianan raised his eyes and glanced at him, and after a while he asked, "What bet?"
"Let's bet - what if I pass the exam." Jiang Chi didn't know what happy thing he thought of. He smiled as he spoke, and the curve of his lips widened, with a hint of boyish arrogance between his eyebrows.
"Do you dare?" Jiang Chi raised his eyebrows at him.
Sheng Jianan lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
Jiang Chi waved his hand in front of him, provoking him: "Don't you dare?"
Sheng Jianan slapped his hand away: "What are you betting on?"
Jiang Chi looked at him and hesitated for a moment: "Bet - if I pass the exam, I'll let you do -"
He spoke slowly, as if he was deliberately keeping people in suspense.
Hearing this, Sheng Jianan's heart skipped a beat and his fingers couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Perhaps seeing his nervousness, Jiang Chi smiled and finished his words: "You must agree to whatever I ask you to do."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Jianan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it’s not... that kind of request.
"Similarly, if I don't pass the exam, I'll agree to whatever you say." Jiang Chi said, "How about it?"
If this can give Jiang Chi some motivation to get into a good university, it seems like a good idea, right?
After a little thought, Sheng Jianan raised his eyes and nodded: "Okay."
-
As soon as the bell rang at noon, the students in the classroom rushed out. Jiang Chi stuffed his textbook into the desk, turned around, and asked Sheng Jianan: "What do you want to eat?"
Sheng Jianan never liked to go out to crowds after class. He sorted out the books on the table, looked thoughtful, and said, "The cafeteria."
Sheng Jianan has a rather cold appearance, the kind of face that is so beautiful that it is impeccable. In addition, his personality is usually rather indifferent, which makes his temperament seem even more distant.
Therefore, they are particularly cute when they make some unconscious little expressions. For example, just now, when Sheng Jianan heard him ask what he wanted to eat, the thought on his face in an instant was so adorable.
Jiang Chi kept staring at him, wishing his eyes could grow on his face.
As soon as Sheng Jianan raised his eyelids, he met Jiang Chi's direct gaze. He paused and was about to look away when he heard Jiang Chi say, "Sheng Jianan, why are you so cute?"
“……” Sheng Jianan pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and said nothing.
Since he was a child, many people have praised him for his good looks, with all kinds of exaggerated compliments, but Jiang Chi is the only one who always praises him for being cute.
So much so that Sheng Jianan began to hesitate, is he really cute? But he has had a rather quiet personality since childhood and doesn't like to talk much, so probably no one would find him cute.
Most of the students in the class had left the classroom one after another. Jiang Chi stood up and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria."
Hearing their movement, the monitor turned his head, took a look, thought for a while, and put the book away.
He Jun was chatting about games with the boy next to him. He turned around and asked, "Eating in the cafeteria again?"
"Yeah." Jiang Chi raised his hand and rubbed his neck, waiting for Sheng Jianan, "If you want to eat outside, go ahead."
"I eat in the cafeteria too." He Jun said, "Walk, walk, walk, I'm so hungry, I want to eat that pork chop."
As Sheng Jianan stood up, he saw the squad leader coming towards him.
"Where are you going to eat?" The squad leader looked around at the group and asked politely.
Jiang Chi lowered his eyes and looked at him without saying anything.
Sheng Jianan was about to speak, but He Jun was one step faster than him and said casually, "Let's go to the cafeteria. Our brother Chi has been visiting the cafeteria every day recently. I wonder if his little beauty is there."
The squad leader paused, glanced at Sheng Jianan, and fell silent.
Jiang Chi raised his chin towards Sheng Jianan and said, "Let's go."
Sheng Jianan paused for a moment and looked at the monitor: "Monitor, let's go together."
The squad leader looked up at him for a second, noticed Jiang Chi's gaze from the corner of his eye, glanced to the side, stared at Jiang Chi for a while, and then looked away.
When Jiang Chi looked at people with no expression, it did make people feel oppressive. It is inevitable that so many people in the school are afraid of him and dare not offend them.
The monitor paused, then smiled at Sheng Jianan and said, "You guys go ahead. I'll go eat outside the school today."
Sheng Jianan moved his lips slightly and was about to say something when Jiang Chi put his arm around his shoulder and took him away.
"Let's go." Jiang Chi said.
Sheng Jianan glanced at Jiang Chi and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Although He Jun was stubborn and couldn't understand that boys could like boys, he was still quite sharp in noticing who Jiang Chi disliked.
As soon as Sheng Jianan and Jiang Chi walked out of the classroom, He Jun chased after them: "Hey, Jiang Chi."
Jiang Chi glanced at him and heard He Jun ask gossipingly: "Did the squad leader offend you?"
Jiang Chi was too lazy to deal with such boring topics.
However, Sheng Jianan glanced at Jiang Chi when he heard the words. Because they were close to each other, every time he turned his head, he could see each eyelash clearly.
He Jun on the side wanted to ask something, but Ling Mo, who was very observant, grabbed him by the collar and dragged him over.
"Fuck, what are you doing?" He Jun staggered back two steps, and Ling Mo said something again.
But Sheng Jianan didn't pay any more attention.
Jiang Chi looked ahead, and as he walked, a slight curve suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips. He seemed to be in a good mood and was humming a little tune. After a long while, he couldn't help laughing and turned his head to look at Sheng Jianan.
"Sheng Nannan, why are you staring at me?" Jiang Chi asked. His tone rose slightly, a hint of amusement in his voice.
Sheng Jianan turned his eyes away.
This time it was Jiang Chi's turn to stare at him. As he stared, Jiang Chi raised his hand and gently stroked his eyelashes.
Sheng Jianan couldn't help but close his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Just watch it, I'm not forbidding you to watch it." Jiang Chi said with a smile, "It's up to you to watch it every day and every night."
Sheng Jianan: “…”
-
In the next few days, Jiang Chi really started to listen to the lectures seriously and handed in the homework for every class on time, which made the teachers who came to the class look at him a few more times.
He Jun even teased him every day, saying that he was just trying to prove his boastful "boast".
Time passed in one class after another, and in the blink of an eye, a week went by and it was Saturday again. As soon as the school bell rang and the teacher left the classroom, He Jun stood up and applauded excitedly: "Our brother Chi is awesome. He was praised by the teacher in public."
The teacher didn't walk far, and the students in the classroom were still sitting quietly. When they heard the voice, they all turned their heads to look at He Jun.
Jiang Chi picked up a notebook and turned around to throw it at him.
He Jun dodged and said to the students who turned their heads in front of him with great pride: "Do you know why Jiang Chi suddenly worked so hard?"
The girl at the table in front of him turned her head with an expression of joining in the fun. Just when he thought he would hear something new, he heard He Jun say, "Because he boasted to me that he would definitely be admitted to a top university. I don't believe it."
After saying this, he laughed heartlessly.
"..." The girl looked at him speechlessly for two seconds. I thought to myself, fortunately He Jun is just a little bit stupid, otherwise he would be a complete idiot.
Thinking of this, the girl glanced at Sheng Jianan.
The person who really motivated Jiang Chi to work hard was packing his schoolbag at this time, as if it had nothing to do with him, and he turned a deaf ear to the teasing of Jiang Chi by people around him.
Only Jiang Chi, after teaching He Jun a lesson, took the opportunity to take advantage of Sheng Jianan and touch his face on his way back to his seat.
When Sheng Jianan raised his hand to pat him, Jiang Chi quickly withdrew his hand.
The girl couldn't help but shrink her shoulders and secretly exclaimed how sweet it was.
-
Today is Saturday. After returning home and having dinner, Sheng Jianan packed some luggage to move to the dormitory and prepared to move there tomorrow afternoon.
The cleaning lasted until the evening. By the time Sheng Jianan finished cleaning, took a shower, and returned to his desk, it was already nine o'clock.
Several WeChat messages appeared on the phone.
Sheng Jianan opened it and looked——
【Jiang Chi: [Picture]】
[Jiang Chi: Does it look good to be involved in the struggle for profit? 】
The accompanying picture is a sunset in the evening, with the sunset glow covering half the sky. Judging from the time, it might be that Jiang Chi had just sent him home and was riding back on his bike.
【Jiang Chi: [Picture]】
[Jiang Chi: Having dinner with my parents]
[Jiang Chi: I didn’t lie to you, who would be happy to go back to school to have barbecue with them? I’m not idle.]
[Jiang Chi: You don’t want to eat with me again]
Sheng Jianan: “…”
When did he ever say the word "cheat"? He just asked Jiang Chi if he wanted to go back to school to have barbecue with them.
Sheng Jianan continued to scroll down——
[Jiang Chi: Sheng Nannan, where are you? 】
【Jiang Chi: It’s time to finish our meal, right? 】
[Jiang Chi: OK, I know you really don’t look at your phone anymore]
【Jiang Chi: [Watching you quietly.jpg]】
After reading the message, Sheng Jianan stayed in the dialog box for a long time before typing——
[Sheng Jianan: I was just cleaning the room]
Sheng Jianan thought about it and took a photo of the suitcase for him.
Jiang Chi didn't reply.
About half an hour later, Sheng Jianan finished reading and was ready to take a break. He just picked up his tablet to find a documentary to watch when his phone vibrated a few times.
【Jiang Chi: Oh】
[Jiang Chi: I thought you ignored me on weekends]
Sheng Jianan: “…”
He finally discovered that Jiang Chi was really good at framing him with some unfounded charges.
In just two seconds, Jiang Chi sent another photo.
Sheng Jianan clicked on it and saw that it was a video of a game on a computer.
[Sheng Jianan: Are you in an Internet cafe? 】
[Jiang Chi: Well, I was bored so I came to Ling Mo and the others to surf the Internet for a while]
【Sheng Jianan: Oh】
[Jiang Chi: What are you doing?] 】
[Sheng Jianan: I am going to watch a documentary and go to sleep after watching it]
This time Jiang Chi didn't reply immediately. Sheng Jianan waited for a while, thought about it, and typed -
[Sheng Jianan: You go play first. I’m going to watch the documentary first. Good night]
Just as Sheng Jianan was about to put down his phone, it vibrated twice again.
【Jiang Chi: Oh】
Sheng Jianan took a look and put the phone down. However, the next second, the phone suddenly vibrated on the table.
Sheng Jianan looked and saw Jiang Chi's name flashing on the phone screen.
-
In the Internet cafe, Jiang Chi stood up and walked out, talking on the phone with one hand and holding a peach-flavored lollipop in his mouth.
"What are you going to do?" He Jun asked, turning his head.
Jiang Chi bit the lollipop in his mouth and gestured to the phone at his ear.
Just at this moment, the call was picked up, and Jiang Chi heard Sheng Jianan's voice softly say "Hello".
His originally ordinary mood suddenly became cheerful. Jiang Chi smiled and walked towards the entrance of the Internet cafe with a lollipop in his mouth.
He Jun stared at his back.
"What are you looking at?" Ling Mo turned his head and saw that Jiang Chi had disappeared.
"Damn, it really is a ghost." He Jun said, "I just saw Jiang Chi's smile when he answered the phone, and I got goose bumps."
Ling Mo was amused by his description.
"Do you think Jiang Chi is serious?" He Jun said.
Ling Mo was slightly surprised and looked at him sideways: "Why do you ask that?"
"You haven't noticed his recent changes yet?" He Jun looked surprised. "Didn't you notice that his temper has improved recently? He smiles at us more often than before, and he's especially caring towards new students."
He Jun pondered as he spoke, and came to the conclusion: "You can tell at a glance that she is nourished by love."
Ling Mo: "...I'm asking, why do you think Jiang Chi wasn't serious at first? He's never been in a relationship before, and he's never cheated on anyone."
"Oh, you said that." He Jun said, "That's not what I said. Jiang Chi has a scumbag face and a scumbag personality. If he wasn't in a relationship, could you imagine him being so gentle after falling in love?"
"That's true." Ling Mo smiled.
He Jun added, "With Jiang Chi's previous personality, he would lose his patience if you said a few more words to him. How much better do you think he would be after falling in love? His character is just there. Who would have thought that he would really surprise us this time."
"This shows that meeting the right person is important." Ling Mo concluded.
"After hearing what you said, I suddenly have some respect for his girlfriend." He Jun said, "This is taming a potential scumbag."
"What the hell." Ling Mo laughed and retorted, "At most, I saved a potential bachelor. He has never been interested in people since he was a child."
"What do you mean by having no interest in people?" He Jun asked.
Ling Mo: "I just have no interest in boys or girls. I am destined to be alone."
He Jun burst out laughing: "Those who are destined to be alone find a partner earlier than those of us who want to fall in love."
Ling Mo glanced at him, wanting to tell him that Jiang Chi probably hasn't caught up with her yet.
-
The street lights illuminated the road in front of the Internet cafe. Jiang Chi stood at the curb with a lollipop in his mouth. From a distance, it looked like he was holding a cigarette under the street lights.
"What time do you plan to go to bed?" Jiang Chi asked with a smile.
"Maybe another hour." Sheng Jianan said.
After a slight pause, Jiang Chi asked, "Do you really have to watch the documentary? Can you chat with me for a while?"
Sheng Jianan was silent for a while and asked, "What are you talking about?"
His voice was so soft that Jiang Chi couldn't help but lower his voice to match his. His tone was a little gentle in the night: "Whatever, anything is fine."
"...Are you still in the Internet cafe? When will you go home?" Sheng Jianan asked.
"Yes, at the entrance of the Internet cafe, they are playing games inside." Jiang Chi said.
Sheng Jianan hummed.
Jiang Chi added: "If you want me to go back, I will go back now."
Sheng Jianan's ears turned slightly red. She originally wanted to let him do what he wanted, but then she changed her mind and felt that it was not a good idea to stay outside so late at night.
After a moment of silence, Sheng Jianan said, "Go back early, it's already late."
"Okay." Jiang Chi smiled, "Then I'll take a taxi now, will you wait with me?"
"......Yeah." Sheng Jianan responded.
I kept chatting with him while he was taking a taxi.
Time passed by unknowingly. The call lasted for a long time, so long that Sheng Jianan began to feel sleepy. Listening to Jiang Chi's voice was like hypnosis.
After Jiang Chi finished speaking, he still remembered to respond with a "hmm", his voice was soft, as if he was about to fall asleep.
It sounds cute.
Jiang Chi paused, smiled softly, and asked in a low voice: "Are you sleepy?"
Sheng Jianan hummed again, and then his consciousness became completely blurred and he fell into sleep.
Jiang Chi sat on the balcony of the room, looking at the night sky in the distance, and curled his lips: "Do you want to hang up the phone?"
There was no more sound from the other end. Jiang Chi listened quietly for a while, and the sound of even breathing came from the receiver.
He held the phone and listened for a long time.
-
When he woke up the next morning, his phone was still next to his pillow. Sheng Jianan picked it up and looked at the call records. He had been talking for more than three hours in total.
Sheng Jianan vaguely remembered that the last time he checked the time was eleven o'clock, which meant that Jiang Chi hung up the phone more than an hour after he fell asleep.
Sheng Jianan lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then got up and washed.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, when Sheng Jianan packed his luggage and got in his father's car to go to school, he received a message from Jiang Chi.
[Jiang Chi: What time do you go to school? Help you move things]
[Sheng Jianan: No need, my dad will send me there]
【Jiang Chi: Oh】
【Jiang Chi: [Watching you quietly.jpg]】
Sheng Jianan doesn't like playing with his phone in the car, so he put his phone away after reading the message.
Jiang Chi didn't reply again, and Sheng Jianan didn't receive any message from him until she entered the dormitory.
It was still early and there were not many people in the dormitory building. As soon as Sheng Jianan entered the dormitory, he found his bed and wardrobe and tidied them up.
Sheng Jianan was a bit of a germaphobe, so he disinfected the desk and cabinets and prepared to hang them out to dry. When he was making the bed, someone knocked on the door.
Sheng Jianan thought he had knocked on the wrong door at first, so he waited for a while and then there was another knock on the door.
Sheng Jianan walked over and opened the door.
I originally thought it was my roommate who came back, but when I opened the door, I saw Jiang Chi standing at the door carrying a silver suitcase.
Seeing him open the door, she smiled at him.
"Hi, new roommate."
