Chapter 93: You’re The Young Lady, You’ve Never Suffered
After the resentment, Su Wanyuan’s heart was filled with panic again.
She thought that as long as she lowered her posture, it would make Gu Lanli change his mind.
After all, she had just fainted from illness, and he nervously took her to the infirmary. Later, she called him, and he came to accompany her.
But between the two of them, something was clearly changing. The previous Gu Lanli was very domineering. If she was sick and unwilling to take medicine, he would stay by her side all day until she took the medicine.
But that day, although Gu Lanli was in the infirmary, his heart didn’t know where it had flown off to. He looked obviously distracted. When Su Wanyuan talked to him, he would perfunctorily reply with a couple of sentences.
She thought the situation would gradually get better, but in the end, up to now, he wanted to cut ties with her.
If she didn’t complete the mission of winning back Gu Lanli as instructed, then wouldn’t she be unable to change her own destiny?
Su Wanyuan hurriedly turned back, but Gu Lanli was already nowhere to be seen.
……
After eating lunch, Jiang Ning brought Sui Tang to the sports field.
It was now mid-October, and the weather was gradually starting to cool down.
The sun at over twenty degrees with the breeze made people drowsy.
Jiang Ning’s whole body slumped like soft mud against Sui Tang.
Sui Tang crossed her two slender legs, hands propped on the white tiles, frowning delicately: “To be honest, I’ve seen enough of the guys at Ninth Middle School. I just like the type like Zhou Yuchu, but unfortunately he’s a scumbag.”
Sui Tang sighed repeatedly, her tone inevitably filled with regret that the school had no handsome guys.
Jiang Ning: “……You have to believe one thing: the more patient and gentle people often have eight hundred schemes up their sleeves. Those with a bit of a quick temper are easier to see through.”
“With your kind of sweet and naive type, to tell you the truth, if you really get together with Zhou Yuchu, you’ll end up being deceived until not even scraps are left.”
Sui Tang: “…”
She looked at Jiang Ning somewhat speechlessly: “Am I as stupid as you say? I have no schemes at all?”
Jiang Ning yawned and replied: “Not really, I just want you not to be so innocent.”
Jiang Ning suddenly spotted He Shang on the basketball court, and her eyes turned.
She coughed lightly: “What do you think of He Shang?”
In the future, like Xie Jingyan, he would be one of the new noble big shots in the Capital City.
If she could latch onto a big shot’s thigh, Sui Tang’s destiny afterward shouldn’t be too bad.
Sui Tang blinked, thinking carefully: “Hmm……He’s not my type, but he’s pretty suitable to be a friend.”
He Shang, who was just about to catch the ball over to Sui Tang’s side: “…”
The next second, the basketball smashed onto He Shang’s head, and his whole body suddenly fell to the ground.
Sui Tang, who had been sitting, shot up in the next second and ran toward He Shang.
Jiang Ning, losing her support, tilted her head and rolled her body, only managing to let out two words: “Holy shit!”
In the panic, she hurriedly grabbed the clothes corner of a passerby.
A “rip” sound.
Jiang Ning’s feet hit the ground, her whole body forcefully pulling at the comer’s clothes corner, forcing her upper body to hang in mid-air.
Another “rip” sound, and she finally looked up, still shaken.
Xie Jingyan looked down at her expressionlessly.
Further up, because of Jiang Ning’s hard tug, the seam at the shoulder of his school uniform had burst open.
Jiang Ning: “…”
Even in this state, his waist didn’t bend at all, standing ramrod straight. The poor clothes bore a weight it shouldn’t have, deformed from Jiang Ning’s pull.
The two stared silently at each other for three seconds.
Xie Jingyan parted his thin lips lightly: “You like tugging so much? Should I take off my clothes and give them to you?”
Jiang Ning: “…”
“Pull me up, I can’t get up.”
Xie Jingyan looked for a few more seconds before reaching out to her.
Jiang Ning gripped tightly, using all her strength, afraid that Xie Jingyan would shake her off—she didn’t want to roll onto the dusty ground.
Once standing, Jiang Ning saw the spot where his seam had burst, a finger-width tear revealing the white T-shirt he wore underneath.
Jiang Ning frowned in some distress: “What to do?”
A trace of incredulity flashed across Xie Jingyan’s calm expression: “You tore my clothes, and you’re asking me what to do? Then what should I ask you?”
Jiang Ning: “…”
“I’ll compensate you with a new one.”
Xie Jingyan shook his clothes and passed by her, tone indifferent: “No need.”
What did “no need” mean?
Is she the kind of person who would damage someone else’s belongings and then run away?
“Why? It’s just a new school uniform. I can still afford it.”
“Last year, no need to change the school uniform again. You’d better save this money. I’ll figure out a method myself.”
Xie Jingyan walked to a basketball match sign-up spot under the shade.
Jiang Ning followed behind him: “You can sew it yourself?”
Xie Jingyan signed his name on the form while answering: “No.”
Jiang Ning scoffed: “You don’t want new clothes, and you can’t sew it yourself. You can’t be expecting me to sew it for you, right?”
“Good.”
Jiang Ning: “?”
The next second, Xie Jingyan’s removed school uniform was draped over her head. He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: “Then I’ll trouble you.”
Jiang Ning: “……”
She pulled the clothes off in a few moves, crumpled them into a ball, and held them in the crook of her arm. Then she watched Xie Jingyan limp into the sports field without looking back and join a team to play basketball.
She turned her head to look at the form Xie Jingyan had signed: Friday friendly match participant selection competition.
She looked at Xie Jingyan’s injured leg. Not even a buddy would play basketball after falling like that?
He really wasn’t afraid of actually breaking his leg.
Immediately after, she lowered her head to look at the blue-and-white school uniform, momentarily at a loss for words.
Did she agree to sew clothes for him?
Did she agree? No, right!
That was obviously a rhetorical question.
Jiang Ning turned back to the original spot to find Sui Tang, wanting to ask her cousin if she knew needle and thread work.
She only learned that He Shang had been hit on the forehead by a basketball, and Sui Tang had taken him to the infirmary.
Jiang Ning wasn’t good at sewing clothes either.
But Xie Jingyan didn’t want a new one, and he couldn’t sew it himself.
Jiang Ning could only pinch her nose and accept it.
It was just sewing clothes. She could learn it with one look!
Before the first class in the afternoon, Xie Jingyan finally returned to the classroom.
He had washed his face, and his bangs were somewhat wet.
“You’re participating in Friday’s friendly match with Seventh Middle School?”
“Mm.” He responded.
“Why?” Jiang Ning didn’t understand. His leg injury hadn’t healed yet, right? Why participate in the match? Waiting for Su Wanyuan to bring him water?
In her impression, this male lead never did anything superfluous.
Xie Jingyan’s chest rose and fell slightly. It was clear he was very tired. His dark eyes turned toward Jiang Ning. Seeing her full of curiosity, he slowly said: “I just asked around. Winning the match, the school will reward five hundred yuan, and there’s a free dinner party in the evening with food, drinks, and money to take. It’d be great if they held these activities a few more times.”
Jiang Ning: “……”
She knew it!
Only money could motivate this guy.
She looked at him with indescribable feelings: “You’ve really got money on the brain. With your leg injured like that, you still want to compete for this money.”
Xie Jingyan’s dark eyes turned, the emotion in them very faint: “You’re a young lady. You’ve never suffered.”
Jiang Ning wanted to retort that her previous life had been pretty miserable too.
But the words reached her mouth and she swallowed them back. Instead, she disdainfully huffed: “I wouldn’t want to live a hard life like yours, poor enough to eat husks and swallow vegetables every day.”
Jiang Ning’s tone was full of disdain.
Xie Jingyan just gave her a deep look, then smiled without saying anything.
