Chapter 52 Jealousy
“When we were kids, I was a head taller than him, so he couldn’t beat me. Besides, he never actually hit me.”
Mu Guangcheng found this particularly strange. He was clearly taller than Su Hengyi when they were young, but how did Su Hengyi grow taller than him as they grew up?
Mu Guangcheng then reassured himself nonchalantly that it was okay, he would grow taller.
It's only a matter of time before he surpasses Su Hengyi.
After finishing his meal, Shi Nianzhi remembered something and took out a box of chocolate balls and a box of strawberries from his schoolbag.
He held it up. "Boss, which one do you want to eat?"
"Strawberry, please."
"Give."
"It's so big, is it sweet?"
"Yes, I ate it, it's quite sweet."
"Yeah?"
Mu Guangcheng took the strawberry box from Shi Nianzhi, opened the lid, picked one out and popped it into his mouth, then threw away the tail.
He nodded. "Oh, I forgot to ask you, that fierce-looking guy from last time, do you like him?"
"That fierce-looking guy?"
"Is he the one who broke into my house and took you away last time? Are you with him? Do you like him?"
Shi Nianzhi picked up a strawberry, took a small bite, put his elbow on the table, and thought about it seriously. "Actually, I quite like him."
After a pause, Shi Nianzhi added, "He is very outstanding, and when he's not being mean to me, he's quite nice. He provides me with a very good material life, the kind of luxury that I could never even dream of in my entire life."
"That sounds great, impeccable."
"Right?"
Shi Nianzhi lowered his head, unwrapped a chocolate ball, then placed the leftover strawberry tail on the chocolate ball's packaging and crumpled it into a ball.
When he was serious, his expression was very calm. "Aside from not liking me, there's really nothing else to criticize. My dad told me to try to move him with my sincerity, but... but someone once told me that if someone doesn't like you, then everything you do is wrong. When I first heard that, I didn't quite understand what it meant, but later I found that it really is true."
Just like Lu Jiunian dislikes him, so he sides with Gu Yuanyuan, so he attacks him, so he makes him sleep in the corridor and treats him like a servant...
Mu Guangcheng shook the last strawberry in the box and asked Shi Nianzhi, "Do you still want some?"
Shi Nianzhi shook his head.
Mu Guangcheng took the strawberry in his hand and ate it in one bite. "I was just asking you casually. I didn't really intend to give it to you."
Shi Nianzhi: "..."
After finishing the last strawberry, Mu Guangcheng stood up and patted Shi Nianzhi on the shoulder. "Young man, three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. Why do you have to hang yourself on a crooked tree?"
Mu Guangcheng suddenly leaned closer to Shi Nianzhi's face, "Before you met your current lover, had you ever been in a relationship? Or was that man your first love?"
Shi Nianzhi suddenly smiled.
Mu Guangcheng straightened up and pushed his head, "What are you laughing at?"
"I just think that the way we talk is so nice."
"Okay, okay, I won't beat around the bush anymore. I don't think you necessarily love him. You can try liking someone else. Love is a pleasant thing, not a trouble. If you feel that this relationship is making you unhappy, then let it go."
"Boss, are you and your girlfriend happy? Does being in a relationship make you happy?"
Mu Guangcheng was taken aback, then he said nonchalantly, "I just talked to her yesterday, we haven't even held hands yet, I haven't experienced any pleasure."
"Why would you be with her if you haven't experienced happiness with her? Don't you like your girlfriend?"
"Nonsense! Of course I'm with her because I like her. Otherwise, what would I do with a girl? Wouldn't it be better to play games with my buddies?!"
"......"
Shi Nianzhi felt that there was nothing wrong with what Mu Guangcheng said, but something still felt off.
But he himself was a complete mess when it came to love, and really had no experience to share.
At this age, everyone is just exploring and learning about love. Who can be very goal-oriented from the start, knowing exactly what they want, what they don't want, what they should do, and what they shouldn't do?
Seeing Shi Nianzhi's silence, Mu Guangcheng continued the previous topic, "Listen to me, I think, well, Su Hengyi is pretty good. You two, one warm and one cold, are quite a good match."
"No, I'm already married. My dad says you have to be loyal in marriage. Besides, boss, don't you really know who our brother likes?"
Mu Guangcheng ignored Shi Nianzhi's last sentence and asked in return, "What if he's not loyal to you?"
Shi Nianzhi fell silent.
Mu Guangcheng then advised him, "Have you ever thought about taking the path of a scumbag and leaving scumbags with nowhere to go? If he's a scumbag, you'll be even more of a scumbag. What are you afraid of? Unless you love him so much that you can't bear to be a scumbag to him."
“Boss, your thinking is wrong. My dad said that what others do is their business, but you should do what you can with a clear conscience. He cheated on me, I can leave him, but I can't cheat on him because he cheated on me. Knowing that being cheated on is very painful, if I still cheat back like that, it makes me seem more hateful than him.”
Shi Nianzhi spoke in a rather didactic tone.
Mu Guangcheng was speechless for a while. He reached out and touched Shi Nianzhi's head. "But you are the one who suffers and you are the one who feels bad."
"But I have a clear conscience. If I leave him one day, at least I won't have wronged him. If he comes back to me one day, he'll have to consider whether he still has the face to come back to me. Of course, maybe he won't care and won't come back to me."
Mu Guangcheng didn't say anything more. He wasn't a talkative person, and the reason he talked so much with Shi Nianzhi was simply because he was thinking of her.
I'm afraid he'll suffer a loss and have his feelings toyed with.
Su Heng returned to the classroom very early. He didn't say a word and seemed to be in a bad mood. He sat in his seat and wrote his test paper.
After the first class in the afternoon, Zhang Peng, the sports committee member, ran in excitedly, "The autumn sports meet is about to begin! Everyone, please sign up enthusiastically!"
The students were uninterested, and not a single one even spoke up. The reasons were nothing more than the tight schedule for studying and their genuine laziness.
There's not enough time to sleep, who has the energy to participate in projects?
Zhang Peng banged on the table. "Brothers and sisters, I'm telling you! Sign up enthusiastically! Get your spirits up! It's such a beautiful autumn day, go out and have some fun, don't just stay in the classroom and get moldy, okay!"
He still ignored me.
At this moment, Su Heng stood up, snatched the form from Zhang Peng's hand, and glanced at it.
A detached, indifferent voice announced, "Xu Wen in the women's high jump, Wang Mei in the women's standing long jump..."
He went down the list one by one, and none of those whose names were mentioned dared to object.
Finally, he said, "Muguang City's 1500-meter race, men's high jump, men's shot put, men's standing long jump, men's sit-ups, and basketball games in the afternoon."
When he said this, Su Hengyi's voice was a little soft, "I checked the time, and the projects don't conflict with each other. Is there a problem?"
Mu Guangcheng had eaten a bit too much for lunch, and the Chinese class was just too soporific. He was fast asleep on his desk and didn't hear a word Su Hengyi said.
Su Heng waited for a while, and seeing no reply, he concluded, "He has no objection, so let's report it as is."
The boy, with his well-defined knuckles, handed the completed form back to Zhang Peng.
Zhang Peng was a little confused. "Brother Yi, besides the relay race, are you going to have Brother Mu take over all the men's events? There are only two minutes between some events. Won't that be too much of a burden on him?"
Su Hengyi's cold gaze fell on Zhang Peng, and Zhang Peng immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
He chuckled awkwardly, about to speak.
Then Su Heng said coldly, "He has no objections, but do you?"
Zhang Peng walked past Su Hengyi's blue and white school uniform and glanced at Mu Guangcheng, who was still fast asleep. He thought to himself that Mu Guangcheng wasn't without objections; he was just asleep and had no idea he'd been tricked.
However, Zhang Peng didn't dare to offend Su Hengyi, so he could only continue with his smirk, "Yes, yes."
In any case, the top leader helped him; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to submit the registration form.
Zhang Peng has left.
When the homeroom teacher saw the application form he handed in, she was surprised. "Mu Guangcheng applied for so many programs?"
Zhang Peng chuckled, "Right? Maybe it's his sense of collective honor that's getting to him. Mu Guangcheng... wants to bring glory to the class."
The homeroom teacher smiled with satisfaction, "It's rare that he has this kind of thought."
As she spoke, the homeroom teacher looked up at Zhang Peng again and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why is your smile so forced?"
"No, teacher, I have an upset stomach, I'll go now."
Zhang Peng quickly slipped away.
Su Hengyi wanted Mu Guangcheng to bring honor to the class, which is putting it in a positive light.
In reality, Mu Guangcheng somehow offended Su Hengyi.
After Su Hengyi sat down, Shi Nianzhi whispered, "Brother Yi, are you trying to cause trouble?"
"People in love have a lot of energy, and I help them release it because it's for their own good."
Shi Nianzhi: "..."
She's definitely jealous, how sour.
The school bell rang, and Mu Guangcheng rubbed his numb arm, then perked up to listen to the lesson.
Zhang Peng looked back at Mu Guangcheng countless times, looking constipated and wanting to say something but holding back.
Mu Guangcheng felt extremely uncomfortable under their gazes. He looked down and texted Zhang Peng on his phone from inside the drawer, "Is your neck cramping or your eyes cramping?"
Zhang Peng has been typing for a long time, but hasn't sent the last word.
He'd better not say anything. I doubt anyone in the class would dare to say anything either. Let's wait for the homeroom teacher to announce it at the class meeting.
School's out.
Shi Nian got on the bus; there was one other person on the bus.
It wasn't Lu Jiunian, but a man dressed like a college student. He said to Shi Nianzhi, "You must be Shi Nianzhi."
"Um."
"From today onwards, I will be your tutor. Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Runbai."
Shi Nianzhi sized up the other person, "She's quite fair-skinned."
"What?"
"Oh, hello teacher, thank you for your help. I'm not very smart, please take good care of me."
Shi Nianzhi shook hands with the other person, feeling somewhat awkward.
The driver turned to Shi Nianzhi and said, "Young Master Shi, Third Master left you a message. He said he'll be going back today and told you not to sleep, because he wants to test you."
