I am your retribution
"When I was in junior high school, she would wait for me on the way home from school every day. She would follow me wherever I went and even volunteered, saying she could help me improve my grades."
"Later, I confessed my feelings to her but she refused. She said she wanted to go to No. 1 Middle School, but I didn't pass the entrance exam. She didn't want to be in a long-distance relationship with me, so she rejected me."
There was laughter all around.
"You can tell from what I said, it's not that she doesn't want a long-distance relationship, it's that she's tired of me and wants to dump me."
"She's a fickle person by nature. She flirts with no fewer than five handsome guys, but when she gets tired of them, she kicks them away."
"Is this true? Wen Jing doesn't look like that kind of person!" the boy next to her asked in surprise.
Song Qingcong scoffed. "Remember that Jiang Xi? Did Wen Jing always keep in touch with him before, but then suddenly stopped? The reason is the same as mine."
"Oh my god, it's true!"
"And that Chen from your class..."
"Who do you think you are? You come to our class and spread rumors about our classmates?" Chen Songyan ran into the classroom and stopped Song Qingcong from saying anything else.
He then looked at the several nosy male classmates around him and asked, "Do you just believe what he says?"
A few people looked at each other.
"Wen Jing has explained the questions to you many times, right? Now others are spreading rumors about her, and not only do you not defend her, but you also join in the discussion. Aren't you rude?" He usually looks good-tempered and seldom conflicts with others in the class. But this time, he had a gloomy face and several people didn't dare to speak.
"We just said it casually, and didn't take it seriously."
Chen Songyan's expression was icy. "If these words get out and affect Wen Jing, do you think she'll still be willing to discuss the problem with you guys?"
Several people were silent.
Just at this moment, Wen Jing walked in. The boys gathered in the front row glanced at her and dispersed guiltily.
She was puzzled for a moment, and seeing Chen Songyan's extremely bad face, she asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you have a fight?"
Chen Songyan's expression eased slightly, but it still looked bad. He let out a light breath, said it was nothing, and walked to the back row.
Wen Jing felt even more confused.
Song Qingcong, who had been watching the show leisurely but was ignored by Wen Jing, also looked unhappy: "Wen Jing, you have raised a good fish."
Wen Jing finally noticed him and identified the instigator. Her expression darkened. "You started this?"
Song Qingcong laughed: "What do you mean I'm picking on you? I only know that if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."
"What have I done wrong?"
"Heh." Song Qingcong seemed to have heard something funny. "You're great. Since you don't think you've done anything wrong, isn't it normal for me to spread the stories you've done?"
Wen Jing frowned: "Are you sick?"
"Yes, I am sick. So, now I always carry medicine with me. If you continue to tangle with those fish you raise, whether they are new or old, don't blame me for spreading some weird medicine in their fish pond."
"Song Qingcong, aren't you bored? What does our matter have to do with others?"
"If I say it's related, then it's related." Song Qingcong stared at her, his expression becoming a little fierce. "I'm telling you, Wen Jing. I said, I am your retribution. I repeated a year just to get into No. 1 Middle School and seek revenge on you. Don't expect me to let you have a good life."
Wen Jing frowned: "It's because of me that you were able to get into No. 1 Middle School. Shouldn't you be grateful to me?"
Song Qingcong was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Wen Jing, you are so shameless."
"You're too kind, but it's the truth." Wen Jing was unmoved.
"Okay." Song Qingcong smiled wryly, "Then consider it my return of gratitude. In order to allow you to concentrate on your studies, from now on, whichever fish you fancy or get close to, I'll help you feed them some poison and kill them."
Wen Jing's heartstrings tightened.
*!
Song Qingcong, this ****!
At this moment, Chen Meng came back. Wen Jing noticed that Song Qingcong was sitting in her seat and was expecting her to scold him, but Chen Meng's attitude was surprisingly good and her tone was surprisingly gentle: "You're here?"
Song Qingcong glanced at her and smiled: "Do you want me to let you sit?"
"No need, sit down if you want. I'm just going to the cafeteria." Chen Meng's tone was still gentle.
Wen Jing had never seen this side of her before and was stunned.
"Then I'll go too. Anyway, I've completed my mission for today." Song Qingcong stood up, smiled at Wen Jing, and walked out.
Chen Meng didn't even look at Wen Jing and left with Song Qingcong.
No, what's going on between her deskmate and Song Qingcong?
Wen Jing was so angry that she didn't even want to eat and just sat in the classroom.
After a while, Chen Die came in after dinner: "Wen Jing, I heard that Chen Songyan defended you in front of several boys in the class today!"
"What?" Wen Jing was stunned.
"Ah, you didn't know?" Chen Die was also surprised. "I was so moved when I heard someone tell me about it."
"Tell me in detail."
Three minutes later, Wen Jing fell silent.
No wonder Song Qingcong said she raised a good fish. Could this guy have investigated her and Chen Songyan?
Wen Jing felt something was wrong.
She looked back at Chen Songyan's seat. There was no one there, it was empty.
"I'm going to eat." She said, "When Chi Ya comes to see me later, tell her that I don't want to go to the library today and want to take a day off."
After saying that, Wen Jing turned and ran towards the cafeteria.
After finishing her meal in a few minutes, she went to the canteen to buy a stack of soda, ran to the seat next to the basketball, and waited for her to come.
About twenty minutes later, Chen Songyan and a group of boys in his class appeared on the basketball court.
Wen Jing stared at him and unconsciously curled up the corners of her mouth.
She hadn't watched him play for a long time and felt an indescribable joy.
This was a different feeling from watching other boys play basketball in the past. It was much happier than that. Wen Jing knew very well where this happiness came from.
It turns out that just looking at him a few more times can bring such great happiness?
Wen Jing was slightly shocked, but suddenly felt that her physical isolation was correct.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Wen Jing was completely unaware of it. She just saw that a few people seemed to have stopped and were about to leave.
She hasn’t delivered the water yet!
Are you so fascinated by it?
Wen Jing knocked her head and couldn't help but think in her heart: Chen Songyan is so terrifying.
She rushed forward, but did not call Chen Songyan's name, but called Zhou next to him... Zhou Meng was there too?
Zhou Meng walked over happily: "Wen Jing, can you buy us some soda?"
"Yeah, I was just passing by. I thought you guys were really determined to play basketball in such hot weather." Wen Jing made up a lame excuse, "Are you preparing for this year's basketball game again?"
"The basketball game won't be until next semester."
"Really? Well, you guys are working so hard now, you deserve encouragement."
Zhou Meng called several boys over, and Wen Jing took the row of orange sodas and handed a bottle to Chen Songyan.
Chen Songyan was stunned and took it. Wen Jing took the opportunity to get closer to him and said to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Thank you for speaking for me today."
Chen Songyan glanced at the noisy crowd around him, frowned slightly, and said you're welcome.
When he said this, he lowered his head slightly. Wen Jing caught a glimpse of his Adam's apple which was slightly sweaty. He looked away with an unnatural expression and suddenly didn't know what to say.
It wasn't a good idea to stay here, so she said, "Well, I'll be leaving first." She turned and was about to leave.
Zhou Meng finished the soda she gave him, and when he saw her about to leave, he called her: "Let's go together."
Wen Jing didn't dare look at Chen Songyan again and replied, "That's fine."
When walking back with a group of people, a boy apologized to Wen Jing and said that he would never talk about her to other people again.
Wen Jing waved her hand indifferently.
In fact, she doesn't really care about these things. Other men have spread these rumors about her before.
After finding out that she didn't care at all, the man got angry.
But Chen Songyan defended her, which made her very happy.
She should have found a quiet place to thank him alone, but after what Song Qingcong said today, she was a little hesitant to be alone with Chen Songyan.
Song Qingcong wasn't serious about studying; she'd noticed that when she'd been explaining the exercises to him. He was quick to learn, but getting him to listen was difficult. After all, he valued everything above studying. He'd even skip important exams to celebrate his birthday and get into fights.
This guy is a gangster. He definitely didn't say those words just to scare himself. He must mean what he said.
All of his younger brothers were troublemakers, and Huang Xing was just one of them. Later, he was driven away by him for some unknown reason.
If he wants to do something to someone, that person will be in great trouble.
Wen Jing didn't dare to think about how crazy he would go after he knew that she liked Chen Songyan.
How could a well-behaved student like Chen Songyan get involved with such a reckless thug?
She didn't want to cause trouble for Chen Songyan.
She felt guilty for neglecting him like this.
According to Song Qingcong's habit of forming cliques, it was hard for her not to suspect who in the class would become his spy. Even Chen Meng treated him with such exception!
Therefore, she must be more restrained and must not let Song Qingcong realize that she has any special feelings for Chen Songyan.
Just wait until graduation. By then, Song Qingcong will no longer be able to threaten her.
She was still lost in thought, not saying a word to anyone around her, so everyone else went on chatting about their own things, only Chen Songyan remained silent.
Unconsciously, Wen Jing and Chen Songyan fell behind. When they were almost at the teaching building, Wen Jing heard him call her and she turned around to look at him.
"Why are you..." Change seats.
Chen Songyan stopped when the question came to his lips. He suddenly remembered that Wen Jing had already answered him.
He tried not to believe Song Qingcong's words, but they kept playing in a loop in his mind.
He was almost certain that Wen Jing was tired of him.
The reason she had given for changing seats had been quietly rejected by him.
But what would happen if he asked? Would Wen Jing tell him the truth?
A year of experience of getting along told him that Wen Jing wouldn't do that.
"It's okay." He finally said, "You guys go back to the classroom first. I'm going to wash my hands."
Wen Jing couldn't help but frown when she saw that he went into the bathroom just as he started talking.
Zhou Meng in front saw that she didn't catch up, so he called her, and Wen Jing had to go forward.
During evening class time, Chen Meng came back.
Wen Jing thought about her attitude towards Song Qingcong during the day and was really curious: "Don't you say you don't allow people to sit in your seat?"
"Yes." Chen Meng said.
"Then Song Qingcong..."
"Except him." Chen Meng looked at her, "I can't refuse Song Qingcong."
Wen Jing was dumbfounded.
Chen Meng glanced at her and said, “Wen Jing, I don’t want to get involved in the grudge between you and Song Qingcong, but if you two have a conflict, I will definitely help Song Qingcong.”
Wen Jing hesitated: "You..."
"I like him."
I*!
That's what she said?
"Then he's pestering other girls, and you...you're helping him?"
"As long as he's happy, I'm happy."
Wen Jing couldn't believe her ears. It turned out that Chen Meng was the miserable heroine in the novel?
"I really admire you."
"It doesn't matter. I don't care what other people think except Song Qingcong."
“…”
After the evening class, Zhou Meng and Chen Songyan went to the football field to run together. While running, he suddenly said to Chen Songyan:
"I feel like Wen Jing really likes me."
