Don't find a girlfriend who only cares about your face
In mid-March, the first monthly exam of the second semester of high school ended.
Wen Jing's grades are remarkably stable, still ranking around 30th in the school.
She went back home on the weekend and didn't come back until the evening class. Before she reached the classroom door, she saw a group of people leaning against the door and windows of their class, staring inside eagerly.
She remembered that there were no activities during the Chinese evening class tonight, so why did so many people come to join in the fun?
She pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.
A bunch of people from the class gathered around the seats, chattering away, and no one knew what they were talking about.
Wen Jing walked over, and a group of people turned around and saw her, and dispersed a little. Yuli, who was sitting in her seat, also stood up.
Wen Jing frowned, but saw a strange head turned towards her. When she saw the face clearly, her brows relaxed immediately. She raised her hand to adjust her glasses, and her eyes and brows were full of smiles.
After more than a month, the scar on Chen Songyan's face had healed, but his hair had grown back into a mess.
He'd obviously gotten a haircut this week; gone were his weed-like hair, now sporting a neat, Chinese-style front spiky bob. His temples were neatly trimmed, adding depth to his features and accentuating his sharp eyebrows and eyes. The moment he glanced up, he had a rather saucy air.
When he saw that the person coming was Wen Jing, that bit of ruffian spirit immediately disappeared and was replaced by an unnatural smile.
Wen Jing didn't expect that this hairstyle would be more suitable for Chen Songyan than a shawl.
It is no exaggeration to say that his current appearance is not even as good as Jiang Xi's.
No wonder there are so many people gathered outside.
She walked over, her smile as bright as ever: "Where did you get your haircut? It's so handsome."
Chen Songyan had only been here for a short time, but he had been surrounded by people since he entered the school gate. Many people praised him, but Wen Jing made him feel the most embarrassed.
"It's only 30 yuan at any haircut shop in the city."
"So great? Introduce it to me, I'll go get my hair cut next time." Wen Jing was really tempted. Her neck-length hair was a little too long, almost reaching her shoulders.
"Well... that place is hard to find. I just happened to come across it. If you really want to go there, I can take you there some other day."
"Okay, Dayan! That's not what you said when I asked you just now. You clearly said that it has nothing to do with the barber shop and it's just that you are handsome and you will look good no matter where you get your hair cut!" A boy next to him said loudly.
Chen Songyan: “…”
He was embarrassed to be ruined, so he said, "The hairdresser said, Ka Yan."
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Yuli, who was standing next to her, lifted her bangs and said to Chen Songyan, "Take me with you too. My hair has grown longer too."
Chen Songyan glanced at Wen Jing and said, "What are you doing? Auntie doesn't cut her long hair."
Yuli was unhappy: "My hair isn't much longer than Wen Jing's, right?"
Wen Jing glanced at her. She must have just washed her hair, so she didn't tie it up. Her hair just passed her shoulders.
It really hadn't grown much, so she looked at Chen Songyan again.
Chen Songyan looked away as soon as their eyes met, and said, "Auntie said it can only reach up to the neck at most."
"Is this true? Is this such a coincidence?" Yuli asked.
Zhou Meng, who had just gone to the restroom, came in from the back door. Seeing a group of people still surrounding Chen Songyan, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, disperse! All of you, aren't you going to study anymore? What's going on? Did you do so well on the monthly exam that you don't need to improve?"
This spoiled the mood and the crowd spat at him and dispersed.
They soon became quiet here.
Chen Songyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Youli leave.
"Brother, you're right! You just healed your injury and got a haircut, and these people came after you again. They're really a bunch of snobs!" Zhou Meng was quite angry.
Chen Songyan finally reminded him: "That's not how you use snobbery, is it?"
"Almost! Others are attracted by money, but they are attracted by beauty, but they are not snobbish!"
He looked at Chen Songyan and said, "Don't find a girlfriend who's only interested in your face in the future. Otherwise, when you get old or fat, she'll definitely kick you out!"
Chen Songyan frowned: "Not really!"
"How could it be less so? Look at the attitudes of these girls. Didn't you notice that no one approached you when you walked by a while ago? Look at you tonight, what a huge difference!"
Chen Songyan subconsciously looked at Wen Jing, who curved the corners of her mouth and smiled at him brilliantly.
“…” is true.
"Then I exercise regularly, so I won't get fat, right?"
Zhou Meng couldn't believe it: "What do you mean? You don't even have a girlfriend, and you're already starting to discipline yourself?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Chinese teacher walked in, and Zhou Meng quickly shut up and returned to his seat.
Wen Jing kept staring at the man in front of her, and said to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Promise me that you will always be this handsome, okay?"
Chen Songyan turned his eyes away uncomfortably: "I'll try my best."
Wen Jing asked him again: "What was your ranking in this monthly exam?"
You're in such a good mood, it must be good.
"Hmm... one hundred and seven."
"That's great! I've improved by sixty places compared to the end of last semester!"
"I'm, I'm okay." Chen Songyan never dared to look back at her. The tone Wen Jing used when talking to her tonight was so strange, as if she was coaxing him.
He felt a little overwhelmed.
The Chinese teacher at the podium began to lecture. Wen Jing turned back and Chen Songyan saw her out of the corner of his eye. He inexplicably relaxed a little.
After class, the Chinese teacher asked Chen Songyan to help her get something. When he came back, he was stopped by Zhou Meng in the front row.
"Why does the Chinese teacher always call you to get things instead of Yuli?"
Chen Songyan frowned: "Because it's heavy. Yuli is so thin, she can't lift it."
"What's that in your hand? Is it a foreign product?" Zhou Meng saw what he was holding with his sharp eyes.
Chen Songyan picked it up and said, "It's a piece of chocolate given by my Chinese teacher. She said she wanted to thank me for helping her move things."
"Damn! I suspect she just wants to give you chocolate. Everyone knows that teachers of all subjects like you!" Zhou Meng said sourly.
The monitor in the front row suddenly turned around and interrupted: "If you were like Dayan, actively answering questions in class, responding to questions as soon as they are called, and never letting the teacher's words fall on deaf ears, the teacher would like you too."
Zhou Meng was speechless, and suddenly reached out to Chen Songyan: "Give it to me and let me try it."
Chen Songyan retracted his hand: "Get lost! This is the only piece I want!"
"Don't you dislike sweets? Stop pretending and give it to me!"
The monitor slapped Zhou Meng's hand with a notebook and said, "What are you doing? Stealing something from your classmates?"
Zhou Meng retracted his hand: "Tsk, forget it if you don't want to give it to me." He retracted his hand, his eyes casually glanced at Wen Jing in the back row, and suddenly said, "You are not going to give it to Wen Jing, are you?!"
Chen Songyan, whose thoughts were guessed, said stubbornly: "Who do you care who I give it to?"
"Cao, you're such a cunning fellow! I really feel like you're different around Wen Jing. Tell me, are you trying to seduce our physics class representative?"
The word "seduced" made Chen Songyan blush. He was embarrassed and annoyed. "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think you are the same as usual in front of Wen Jing?"
Zhou Meng was stunned: "Damn! It seems to be true!"
He was puzzled. "It's not just the two of us. I feel like everyone in our class is a little different in front of her. It's like they're holding back. Do you understand?"
Chen Songyan agreed: "So why is this?"
Zhou Meng touched his chin: "Hiss..."
"Stop yelling like a snake! What's the difference? It's different if you need help from others and are a little shorter!" The squad leader said incisively.
They both looked at him.
"You have no idea. When I was talking to the monitor of the class next door, they were so envious of us for having a top student like Wen Jing. Right now, their class is still competing with several other key classes in physics, while ours is already going back and forth with two of the most important classes. This month's exam, our class took first place in the school in physics, and it's obvious who deserves the credit."
"Their class all said that Wen Jing was our class's cheat, and they tried to send undercover agents to pry Wen Jing away!"
"That won't work!" Chen Songyan and Zhou Meng said almost in unison.
"Luck is also a part of strength! Classmates in the same score range are randomly assigned. It's their own bad luck that they weren't assigned to the same class as Wen Jing. Who can they blame? Don't play dirty tricks!" Zhou Mengyi was filled with indignation and turned to Chen Songyan.
"You have to give this chocolate to Wen Jing, understand? You are Wen Jing's deskmate, and you are responsible for protecting the class. You must do your best to seduce her and make her fall in love with our class."
Chen Songyan's face flushed again: "Could you please stop using random words!"
Yuli walked in from the doorway and saw the chocolate in Chen Songyan's hand. She said in surprise, "The Chinese teacher gave it to you too? Now we're the only ones who have it!"
Zhou Meng was shocked when he heard this: "What? You have it too? Where is it?"
Yuli stretched out her right hand, and Zhou Meng snatched it away: "Give yours to Wen Jing too! You know, we urgently need to please Wen Jing right now."
Yuli: "..."
Finally, Chen Songyan handed two chocolates to Wen Jing.
Wen Jing was writing Chinese reading questions when she looked up and saw two foreign chocolates in front of her.
Her eyes lit up: "Charlie's chocolate!"
Chen Songyan was surprised: "How do you know it's Yuli's chocolate? But it's not just Yuli's, there's also one that's mine. Now it's all yours. I remember you like sweets very much."
Wen Jing:?
"I mean, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,' a great fantasy movie, and the chocolate in it is like that."
Chen Songyan was stunned: "Oh, do you want to eat it?" He handed it to her again.
Wen Jing took it and said: "Thank you, I like it very much!"
This was much rarer than the bag of jelly he bought her last time.
"By the way, you said this belongs to you and Yuli?"
"No matter whose it is, it's yours now. If you want to eat anything in the future, just tell us and we'll do our best to satisfy you."
Wen Jing looked at him suspiciously: "Why do you say that suddenly?"
"Um... because you helped our class get first place in physics."
"It's nothing. I'm the physics class representative."
Afraid of letting the cat out of the bag, Chen Songyan stopped talking and took out his phone to post in the group called "Battle of the Cheat Guardians":
"Wen Jing accepted it. She said she liked it very much!"
Monitor: Thumbs up
Zhou Meng: Thumbs up
Yuli: Thumbs up
Zhou Meng: You should continue to ask her if anyone from the next class has harassed her recently.
Chen Songyan looked up suddenly, and Wen Jing scared him.
"Wen Jing, have you...had any contact with the class next door recently?"
Wen Jing shook her head.
"She said no."
Squad Leader: That means they haven't started yet. Wait a moment, I'll bring the others in. Let's all work together to resolutely protect our squad and not let the evil forces take advantage of us!
So, a class group was established in which only Wen Jing was not present.
After the evening class, Chen Songyan and Zhou Meng pulled Chen Songyan to the playground for a night run, but Chen Songyan refused.
"Why are you rushing back to the dormitory? Don't think I don't know that you never read when you go back home."
"I'm going back to watch a movie."
"What movie? You even don't care about running at night? Could it be that... you have this good thing and you don't want to share it with me?"
Chen Songyan made him feel sick: "You are so disgusting! I'm going to go back and watch a fantasy movie."
"Tsk, what's it called? Let me hear if I've seen it before."
"It seems to be called... Yuli's Chocolate Factory?"
Zhou Meng was shocked: "What? Yuli's family opened a new factory?!"
“…”
