Chapter 14
“”Did you buy this breakfast?” Zhou Qingyue was taken aback.
“Yes.” The class leader nodded, visibly flustered, “I don’t know if you’d like it.
If it doesn’t suit your taste, I’ll get something else next time.”
Zhou Qingyue was dumbfounded on the spot.
Then, she felt heat rushing to her face.
Once again, she had done something foolish!
But then, she realized a far more serious issue.
The breakfast wasn’t bought by Jiang Xu!
Why didn’t he buy her breakfast?!
Zhou Qingyue felt a lump in her chest, an indescribable discomfort.
In her anger and embarrassment.
She grabbed the breakfast, and threw it in the garbage bin: “I don’t like it, don’t bother getting it for me in the future.”
After saying this, she stormed back to her seat, silently fuming.
Jiang Xu watched the class leader, his face full of hurt, speechless, “Why did you bother with all this when you were doing just fine?”
The class leader scratched his head: “Actually, I kind of like Zhou as well.
Seeing how you didn’t pursue her.
I thought I might have a chance to succeed.”
Many students in the class were bound to like Zhou Qingyue given her looks.
It was just that Jiang Xu was so persistent in the past, driving away all the other contenders.
But now that everyone knew Jiang Xu had given up, many felt hopeful and were ready to make their move.
Jiang Xu facepalmed.
What was going on here?
The class leader returned to his place, visibly disappointed.
He couldn’t fathom why he failed so quickly.
Was he not as persistent as Jiang Xu?
Then An Nuonuo came in.
Jiang Xu asked, “Why are you so late today, have you had breakfast?”
“I have,” An Nuonuo responded quietly.
After putting down her backpack.
She unzipped it and pulled out a pink sachet.
She glanced around.
Ensuring no one was watching.
Then she quickly shoved it into Jiang Xu’s hand: “I made this.
To thank you for helping me find a part-time job.
I put dried osmanthus and a talisman inside, it’s not expensive, hope you don’t mind.”
She quickly pulled out a book and pretended to read it earnestly.
But she couldn’t help glancing at Jiang Xu from the corner of her eye.
She stomped her foot emphatically, “Teacher, look at him, making personal attacks against me!”
Every word that came out of Jiang Xu’s mouth was a direct jab at her.
The class teacher looked at Jiang Xu skeptically, “You really didn’t hit her?”
“Teacher, if I really did hit her, then let her produce the evidence.
Otherwise, this dispute is not going to end.
I may fall into a slump, thereby unable to focus on my studies.
Eventually, my grades would plummet, and I might fail to get into a good university.
Ultimately, it would negatively affect your promotion and salary raise, hindering your chances of marrying a beautiful rich girl and leading a successful life.
Teacher, you don’t want that to happen, do you?”
And believe it or not, his words were strikingly effective.
After all, the teacher had pinned all his hopes on Jiang Xu now.
So he sternly said to Li Honghong, “Since you claim Jiang Xu hit you, then present the proof.”
“I…” Li Honghong was completely dumbstruck.
Where on earth was she supposed to find evidence?
In this time, many places still didn’t have surveillance facilities.
After a whole day had passed, the fingerprints on her face were long gone.
As long as Jiang Xu denied it, the case would be closed without a verdict.
“Ah, I see.” Jiang Xu suddenly slapped his thigh, “Classmate Li Honghong,
Are you holding a grudge because I reported you to the teacher for reading novels in class with your deskmate last week,
And now you’re trying to slander me?”
The class teacher’s face immediately darkened.
“I didn’t! I didn’t do it!” Li Honghong shouted in panic.
“Alright, let’s end it here.” The class teacher put his foot down.
As neither side could present any proof, there was no point in continuing the dispute.
However, he was more inclined to believe in Jiang Xu’s side of the story.
Therefore, he told Li Honghong, “In the exams two days later, if your average score in each subject does not reach 80,
You’ll have to stay after school for half an hour of extra studies.”
“Ah, no, please teacher.” Li Honghong looked utterly hopeless.
Jiang Xu chuckled, “Alright teacher, I’ll take my leave.”
Li Honghong trudged out, dejected.
In her struggle against Jiang Xu, she had lost grandly and even got slapped twice for nothing.
It felt like a massive loss.
“No, I can’t let this be the end!”
Li Honghong lifted her head, a fire burning in her eyes.
She returned to the classroom and sat down.
An Nuonuo’s lips moved slightly.
After a moment’s hesitation, she finally asked Jiang Xu whether he was in trouble with the class teacher because he hit Li Honghong yesterday.
Jiang Xu leaned in closer,
Inhaling the unique scent of a young girl’s body. “Why, are you worried about me?”
