Chapter 34: Be Careful Not To Bring Disaster Upon Yourself
Because finding Xin Yang delayed a lot of time.
So morning self-study had already ended, and now it was the ten-minute break between classes. Jiang Ning slowly returned to the classroom.
Her gaze immediately spotted Xie Jingyan sitting at the back. Jiang Ning just felt her neck hurt. Could this habit of choking necks whenever there’s a disagreement be changed? Just like a madman.
Jiang Ning got annoyed just seeing him, but thinking of her plan, she sat back in her seat, glancing at him sideways with the young lady’s haughty posture fully in place: “You’d better give me a reasonable explanation. Why did you treat me like that yesterday?”
Xie Jingyan’s fingertips holding the pen paused, and he slightly lifted his eyelids, quietly sizing her up.
His eyes were very beautiful, bright and profound, with slightly upturned corners, and a beauty mark under his eyes like the finishing touch.
The interaction between the two caught Liu Huanhuan’s attention.
Xie Jingyan slowly said: “You should be glad my sister is fine. Otherwise, the one in trouble would be you.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Good kid.
Truly arrogant enough.
But hearing that his sister was fine, Jiang Ning finally felt relieved.
This female lead was pretty fast, managing to make it in time after all.
Jiang Ning slightly narrowed her eyes and sneered disdainfully: “Whether your sister is fine or not has nothing to do with me. Don’t pin every dirty pot on my head.”
With that, she opened her schoolbag and started unpacking snacks to eat.
The creamy-flavored Little Honey small steamed buns in the small pack.
They crunched when eaten.
Noticing the direct gaze.
Jiang Ning turned her head and met Liu Huanhuan’s eyes.
Her impression of this transfer student was decent. After all, not just anyone could transfer into Ninth Middle School Class 1.
Jiang Ning had worked hard before, so now she just wanted to slack off.
But she admired people who put in effort.
So she was very friendly to Liu Huanhuan. Normally, whatever she ate, she would share some with her, just to make a friend.
Every time, Liu Huanhuan would blush and smile, saying thank you to her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning handed a pack over: “Here, this small steamed bun tastes good. Try it.”
Liu Huanhuan’s gaze toward her changed in an instant.
She picked up the pack of small steamed buns and threw it to the ground: “I don’t want your charity. Don’t insult me. And you can’t just do whatever you want because your family has money. In your eyes, there’s no law in this world? You’ll get retribution sooner or later.”
Her voice was loud, instantly attracting the attention of the whole class.
The two girls sitting in front of her were so scared their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly pulled Liu Huanhuan’s hand: “Huanhuan, stop talking.”
Liu Huanhuan shook them off, stood up, and looked at Jiang Ning: “Please stay away from Xie. He’s different from you. He has dreams and a future. He’s not someone who will submit just because you humiliate him. He’s not, and neither am I.”
She spoke with resounding conviction.
If Jiang Ning weren’t one of the protagonists in this farce, she would have wanted to applaud her.
Jiang Ning wasn’t angry. She looked at her with a half-smile: “What? You like him?”
Liu Huanhuan’s face flushed red at her words, and her speech became stammering: “N-no, that’s not it. I just can’t stand your behavior.”
“What behavior of mine? Did you see it with your own eyes?”
“No…” Liu Huanhuan had only heard rumors; she hadn’t actually seen it.
At least on the Jiang Ning she knew, she only saw easygoingness, not the arrogance from the rumors.
“Did I bully you? Do you have to submit to me?”
Liu Huanhuan’s face slowly turned redder, and her voice weakened: “No…”
“Before even checking the truth, you convict others. Is that your justice? What’s the difference from bandits?” Jiang Ning looked at her with a smile, appearing very good-tempered: “The road is narrow, sister. It’s not heroic to bravely stand up for others with one-sided courage. Sometimes you have to consider your own situation and only step forward if you have the ability.”
Liu Huanhuan wanted to retort but didn’t know where to start. She subconsciously looked at Xie Jingyan, hoping he could say a few words for her. After all, this matter started because of him; she was just speaking for everyone.
Who knew, Xie Jingyan wasn’t looking at her at all. His gaze lingered on Jiang Ning instead.
He slightly furrowed his brows.
Pondering two questions.
The first was that this voice seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall it for the moment.
The second was whether these words were pointing at him?
Not sure who started laughing first, but the whole class burst into laughter.
Liu Huanhuan’s face turned from red to pale, and finally, tears welled up in her eyes. She bit her lip somewhat unwillingly.
Jiang Ning was somewhat speechless. With such a fragile heart that shatters after a few words, she still wanted to redeem Xie Jingyan.
Look at his cold-blooded appearance. Probably only the female lead could handle redemption.
Extras should just study hard and get into university. Why get involved in this?
Jiang Ning’s gaze was deep, her lips curving into a smile: “Liu Huanhuan, the matter between me and Xie Jingyan— I’d advise you not to meddle, or you might get burned. If you’re fine, just read more books.”
Jiang Ning had wanted to make a friend, but now she’d made an enemy instead.
Men are truly disasters.
Sitting with Liu Huanhuan any longer would just be upsetting.
Jiang Ning simply moved her desk back and became Xie Jingyan’s desk mate directly.
As for Xie Jingyan’s opinion?
Not important.
She would sit wherever she wanted.
So when Old Li came to class, Jiang Ning directly raised her hand: “Teacher, please rearrange a seat for Liu Huanhuan. I don’t like her sitting in front of me; it affects my class.”
Old Li: “…”
The entire Class 1: “…”
Aren’t you going to attend class anyway?
Old Li’s gaze fell on Liu Huanhuan.
She had red eyes, looking as if she’d suffered a great grievance.
Old Li had a headache, but this was still considered good.
To avoid Jiang Ning taking out her anger on the new student, Old Li immediately arranged for Liu Huanhuan to sit at the front.
Jiang Ning moved her seat down and had no intention of moving again.
She contentedly lay down next to him and started sleeping.
Actually, in her mind, she was communicating with Little Honey.
『Little Honey, the male lead misunderstands that I drove his sister out of the hospital. What will he do to me next?』
Little Honey thought for a moment: 【In the original plot, after you abused your power to drive the male lead’s sister out of the hospital, he couldn’t even see your face. Even at school, he didn’t dare show his hatred. He’s very good at hiding his emotions, so next, you would take out your anger on the male lead because the second male lead was overly nice to the female lead.】
Little Honey paused, then wilted again: 【But now the plot is a mess, and you’ve cut ties with the second male lead, so now you can take out your heartbreak anger on him. Just torment him anyway.】
Jiang Ning: “…”
『Okay, system. Don’t be sad, my friend. I guarantee you’ll be this year’s outstanding employee.』
Little Honey suddenly turned into a light ball and bounced in front of Jiang Ning, tone excited: 【Really?】
Jiang Ning jumped in fright.
Staring straight into the void.
It just came out so blatantly?
Not afraid of people seeing?
Little Honey bounced and jumped in front of her: 【Don’t worry, host. This is my true form. No one else can see me except you.】
