Chapter 51 Makes People Happy
Mu Guangcheng chuckled lightly, leaned against the railing with his arm resting on it, and looked at Shi Nianzhi with a half-smile.
After a long pause, he said, "Silly girl."
After a while, Mu Guangcheng's henchman said to him excitedly, "Boss, she's here, she's here! Your wife is here!"
Shi Nian was completely confused, "Sister-in-law?"
He turned around amidst the chorus of whistles and saw a very chubby girl with pigtails, holding a meat bun in her plump hands. She took a big bite out of it, her lips greasy.
A white plastic bag containing a dozen or so steamed buns was hanging from her plump arm, presumably for her breakfast.
Shi Nianzhi swallowed hard.
A breeze brushed past my ear, carrying a faint scent of soap powder, fresh and pleasant.
As Mu Guangcheng walked past Nianzhi, he headed towards the chubby girl.
Shi Nianzhi's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment. Mu Guangcheng looked at this seemingly normal young man, wondering how he could possibly...
So unique.
Mu Guangcheng's appearance stood out among the students; he was tall and handsome, with fair skin, captivating peach blossom eyes, and a mischievous smile that had charmed countless hearts.
Shi Nianzhi leaned against the railing and glanced at Su Hengyi in the classroom with a hint of sympathy.
He would take Mu Guangcheng to the hospital to see an ophthalmologist when he had time.
Then Shi Nianzhi saw the chubby girl walk past him, her long hair almost hitting his face.
"Um?"
Shi Nianzhi looked over at Mu Guangcheng again and saw a girl who only reached Mu Guangcheng's chest holding a book. He didn't know what Mu Guangcheng had said to her, but she lowered her head shyly, though she was definitely smiling.
Shi Nian subconsciously turned his eyes away, and he touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.
Oh, it turns out it was a misunderstanding.
"Mu Guangcheng, stop messing around, I want to go back to class."
The girl looked up. Although she wasn't stunningly beautiful, she was pretty and had a scholarly air about her. She had a sweet smile, and her cheeks would turn red when she was shy, which made her quite adorable.
"She's his type."
Su Hengyi came out at some point, and he and Shi Nianzhi leaned against the railing side by side.
Shi Nianzhi pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then said comfortingly, "Brother Yi, you're so good, there are many people at school who like you."
Su Hengyi said in an extremely indifferent tone, "What's the use?"
Shi Nianzhi: "..."
Mu Guangcheng unzipped his school uniform, took out a carton of Vitasoy, and handed it to the girl in front of him. "It's still warm, here you go."
The girl looked around, a little embarrassed, and asked, "Where did you get this hot?"
"I gave the shopkeeper an extra five yuan so he could heat it up for me. You just recovered from a cold, so you shouldn't drink cold things. I'm being nice to you, okay?"
The girl pursed her lips and said, "Thank you."
"Yiyi, you're my girlfriend, it's my duty to treat you well."
As Mu Guangcheng finished speaking...
Shi Nianzhi clearly felt Su Hengyi beside him stiffen.
The way Mu Guangcheng called out those two words was too gentle and affectionate, with the sound of "yiyi" being a homophone for "yiyi".
Su Hengyi returned to the classroom with a cold face.
Shi Nianzhi didn't stay long. As he left, he called out, "Boss, have you done your homework? It's the first class with the homeroom teacher, hurry back and finish it."
Stop with the endless nagging, you're driving the top dog crazy.
Wu Yi smiled and urged Mu Guangcheng, "You should go back now and study hard. I don't want my boyfriend to be worse than me."
"good."
Mu Guangcheng stepped aside to make room for Wu Yi, watched her return to the classroom, and then lowered his eyes.
Although Wu Yi's appearance is very much to his liking and she is his type, he still feels like something is missing.
It must be an illusion.
Mu Guangcheng walked inside.
Shi Nianzhi was writing her exam paper and, without looking up, said to Su Hengyi:
"Brother, the boss likes big breasts. I saw that girl, she's just average. The boss probably won't like her for long."
Mu Guangcheng chuckled, then strode over and grabbed Shi Nianzhi's ear. "You're always talking behind my back, what a disgrace to your boss! Whose underling are you anyway? You might as well just let Su Hengyi protect you!"
"Boss, that hurts!"
"You little brat, you're asking for trouble! You finally know how to feel pain! Will you talk bad about me behind my back again? You dare to do it again?!"
Shi Nianzhi winced in pain, looking innocent. "I didn't say anything bad about you. I was telling the truth. You have a lot of pictures of beautiful women on your bedroom wall. You said they were your treasured collection."
Mu Guangcheng scolded, "How come all this talk of artistic flair sounds so vulgar coming from your mouth? It makes me sound like a pervert."
Shi Nianzhi forcefully pulled his ear out of Mu Guangcheng's grasp, and then covered it with his hand.
Mu Guangcheng rested his hand on Shi Nianzhi's desk and glanced at the homework Shi Nianzhi was copying.
As if he had discovered a new continent, he exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Brother Yi. You actually lent your test paper to Shi Nianzhi to copy? I only copied one of your test papers back then, and you chased me for three blocks and beat me up. Tsk, it's really infuriating to compare yourself to others."
Su Hengyi was unusually silent today. Even though Mu Guangcheng had provoked him like that, he acted as if he hadn't heard a thing.
Feeling bored, Mu Guangcheng went back on his own.
As the last physics class ended, Su Hengyi stood up and stopped the physics teacher, saying, "I'm not going to the physics competition."
The physics teacher looked at Su Hengyi in surprise, "You're not going? This is crucial for your admission to university."
"My grandmother has passed away, so I don't need the guaranteed admission."
The physics teacher remained silent for a while before patting Su Hengyi on the shoulder, then hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
But being a science major, he only said one sentence in the end, "Hengyi, please accept my condolences."
"Um."
Su Hengyi turned and walked out of the classroom with a calm expression.
The whole class was still in shock. They were about to rush to the cafeteria as soon as get out of class ended, but now that they realized what was happening, they quickly got up and started rushing outside.
Then there was a lot of discussion:
"What a pity. Our top student always gets first place, and Gu Yuanyuan gets second place. Our school has two students in the top three."
"Yes, I heard Gu Yuanyuan isn't going this year either, and neither is Grandma Yi..."
"Shh, keep your voice down. Brother Yi has a bad temper. Don't gossip about these things. It's like rubbing salt into someone's wounds."
"Wouldn't that make the neighboring school feel proud? They're always third place, and they didn't even give us a friendly look when they came to our school for a friendly match last time."
"Why should we give him a nice look? Does he expect us to fawn over them? What a big mouth he has, a lousy school like this."
"So what if we let them have their way? Besides, who knows? Maybe there's a dark horse out there. Does our school lack talent?"
"That's true..."
"By the way, have you seen Mu Guangcheng's girlfriend? Wu Yi from Class 8."
“I saw it.”
"I heard that the school beauty chased Mu Guangcheng for so long, but Mu Guangcheng didn't even give her a second glance and even made her cry with his cold words. I didn't expect that Wu Yi, who is not outstanding, would be able to win him over."
"Hey, men, don't they just like those pure, innocent girls who can't even open a bottle cap without saying 'Hey, brother, I can't open it'? The school beauty is beautiful and strong, she can carry a 19L bottle of water up to the seventh floor without even breaking a sweat, who wouldn't be afraid of her? I'm a guy, but I'm afraid she'll punch me to death."
"Who said that? I still really like the school beauty."
"Yeah, I like her too. I think the school beauty is much more real. Mu Guangcheng is blind!"
"+1, our school beauty is the prettiest!"
Am I the only one shipping Mu Guangcheng and Shi Nianzhi? Sisters, tell me I'm not alone!
I ship Mu Guangcheng and Gu Yuanyuan!
"I'm different from you guys. I'm more wild. I'm a fan of Su Hengyi and Mu Guangcheng! I'll raise the banner of my city high!"
"Girl, are you crazy? They look like enemies. Where did you get that sense of chemistry between them?"
"......"
After everyone had left and Shi Nianzhi had finished listening to the gossip, he took out his lunchbox.
Has Su Hengyi's grandmother passed away?
No wonder he looked so pale today.
Mu Guangcheng walked over, took one of Shi Nianzhi's lunch boxes, opened it, and started eating.
They looked really hungry, wolfing down their food.
In comparison, Shi Nianzhi was more particular about the food, saying, "Boss, our eldest brother's grandmother has passed away."
“His grandmother passed away when he was in elementary school, and he just didn’t want to participate in the competition. Don’t believe him when he tries to fool the teacher.”
"Huh? How did you know?"
“He and I have been in the same class since elementary school.”
Shi Nianzhi put down his chopsticks and looked at Mu Guangcheng. "Then you must be very familiar with him."
Mu Guangcheng shook his head, "We're not close. We've hardly ever spoken. We were just seated at the same table before...tsk...he really has a bad temper."
Mu Guangcheng seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and kept frowning.
Shi Nianzhi asked curiously, "Then how do you know his grandmother passed away? If you weren't close, do you still remember things from elementary school?"
Mu Guangcheng finished his lunchbox in a few bites and leaned back in his chair.
Shi Nianzhi handed him a bottle of water.
Mu Guangcheng took a sip of his drink before saying, "It was during the second semester of second grade. I hadn't spoken to him before. It was raining that day, and I remember it quite clearly. I had just finished using the toilet, and it started raining when I came out. I went back to the classroom to get an umbrella. Through the window, I saw Su Hengyi still sitting in his seat, his face covered in tears, you know? But he didn't even have a single expression on his face."
"And then you talked to him?"
"Pretty much, but I didn't know what was wrong with him at the time. He didn't say anything, he just looked at me. So I gave him the beef jerky in my pocket and said, 'Eat this. Eating when you're sad will make you happy.'"
"Has he eaten?"
“He ate it, but I don’t think he eats spicy food. I gave him the spicy flavor, and his face turned red from the spiciness. He drank a lot of water.”
Shi Nianzhi: "..."
Mu Guangcheng seemed to find it amusing and chuckled to himself.
Shi Nianzhi then asked, "And then what? Knowing Brother Yi's temper, did he beat you up?"
