Chapter 79: Afternoon Assembly On The First Day Of Field Training
Nancy, who had arrived at the Sports Field one step ahead, was now talking to Ouyang Yating about what Ainuo had done at lunch.
“Yating, what kind of benefit do you think that blockhead will give Xiang Chuan?” Nancy smiled brightly, and only Ouyang Yating knew she was currently in a state of fearing the world wouldn’t be chaotic enough.
“Stop messing with our Club President. How could she keep up with that guy’s brain circuit?” Ouyang Yating advised.
Just as they were chatting, speak of the devil and he shall appear. A buzzing noisy sound came from the back of the group. The two turned their heads to look. It wasn’t so bad before they looked, but upon looking, Ouyang Yating’s head hurt even more, and Nancy laughed even more joyfully.
They saw Ainuo with a stinky face (Yating & Nancy: This guy always has this expression) dragging the sleeve of Xiang Chuan, one of the school’s first year high school most prominent figures who had been the subject of countless Gossip with him last week, as they walked toward the group. Ainuo spotted the two childhood friends at a glance and quickened his pace. Xiang Chuan, whose sleeve was being dragged, nearly fell down.
“Slow down, slow down, have some consideration for a blind person.” Xiang Chuan complained. After leaving the Dormitory Area, there were no large buildings to block the sunlight anymore. Reluctantly, she could only tightly close her eyes and hand her safety over to this new Club Member who appeared unhappy on the surface but who knows what was going on inside, with a heart full of extreme anxiety.
“You’re not really blind, what nonsense are you talking.” Saying that, he arrived beside the two, tugged Xiang Chuan toward them. Xiang Chuan, who had no idea what was happening, naturally pitched straight forward. Fortunately, Nancy was quick-eyed and handy to reach out and support her. Ouyang Yating, who was a beat slow, also hurriedly came over to help. Ainuo clapped his hands, looked at the two with a relaxed expression of having completed the job, then said to the still shaken Xiang Chuan: “This settles the favor of freeloading your meals these past two days. No need to thank me.”
Xiang Chuan: Does this kid have water in his brain!?
Ouyang Yating and Nancy, who were used to their childhood friend’s temperament, could only respond with sighs or wry smiles. Nancy patted Xiang Chuan’s shoulder and comforted her:
“Don’t mind this guy. This guy’s emotional intelligence has been a negative number since he was little. Only we or his sister can tolerate this guy’s low emotional intelligence behavior. You’re his Club President, there will be plenty of chances in the future to encounter this guy’s magical behavior. Please bear with him a lot~”
“……”
Xiang Chuan: I think the two of you here bear absolute responsibility for this guy surviving safely to sixteen years old.
Seeing Xiang Chuan’s entangled expression, Ouyang Yating naturally understood her inner thoughts. For the sake of her and Nancy’s “innocence,” she could only continue explaining:
“We’ve been correcting his behavior since elementary school, but it basically had no effect. Later, after Sadie… that is, his sister was born, we thought he would change because there was now a sister at home. The result is just what you see.”
“Don’t his parents say anything about it?”
Xiang Chuan actually wanted to say that a person like this entering a social occasion would definitely be immediately blacklisted by the girl, but she wasn’t sure if Ainuo had left. She couldn’t see with her eyes and couldn’t run away, so she could only keep those words in her heart.
“Uncle Li and them are of course very troubled too, but after all, he’s the eldest son at home, so they can only deduct his monthly pocket money every time he’s reported by us or little sister Sadie. Over time, this kid has learned to be smarter, learning to speak as little as possible when communicating with the opposite sex. Plus, his appearance is pretty good, so he still has a cool guy reputation among the girls.”
Nancy lowered her voice to gossip with her, though all of it was clearly heard by Ainuo standing nearby.
“I say, you guys… can you not gossip about someone right in front of the person themselves?”
Hearing Ainuo’s voice from close range behind her, Xiang Chuan jolted, instinctively shrinking her neck in fright. Ouyang Yating and Nancy, standing on either side of her where she couldn’t see, didn’t care at all.
“If you don’t want people to talk about it, then change that temperament of yours.” Ouyang Yating looked at the message on the light screen, frowned at him, “When you brought Xiang Chuan out, didn’t you ask if anyone was waiting for her? Man Man kept sending us messages saying Xiang Chuan was missing.”
“Was someone waiting for her?” Ainuo tilted his head in doubt, “When I saw her, she was just standing dumbly at the dormitory entrance.”
The three looked at Xiang Chuan. Xiang Chuan, who couldn’t see her surroundings, also sensed the gazes around her at this time and explained softly: “I didn’t react at first, and later when I was led away, I was preoccupied with worrying if there were obstacles on the road or something, and forgot to tell Club Member Ainuo…”
“See, this matter isn’t my fault.” Ainuo raised an eyebrow with an “I knew it” expression, “And Club President, what exactly is your impression of me? Would I be so malicious as to lead you down an uneven road?”
“Haha…” Xiang Chuan laughed dryly without speaking, thinking to herself who knows what this guy is thinking. In the 21st century, blind people go out holding a guide dog, but you’re not an obedient guide dog—you’re a husky whose brain circuit who knows what it’s thinking.
Fortunately, Ouyang Yating and Nancy started criticizing him, so he no longer focused on Xiang Chuan. Two or three minutes later, Chou Manman and Liang Gong, who had been caught by Chou Manman while going downstairs to look for her, finally arrived late.
Chou Manman dramatically pounced on Xiang Chuan, touching her up and down to check if anything was missing, then, taking advantage of Ouyang Yating and Nancy being present, also joined the ranks of criticizing Ainuo.
Ainuo’s brain was about to explode. How did casually helping someone turn into his own mistake? Women are really unreasonable.
Fortunately, his experiences in elementary and junior high of having his pocket money deducted by the family for saying the wrong thing had given him self-preservation awareness, so he held back that inner thought and didn’t dare say it out loud. And luckily he didn’t, otherwise the Class Eight female classmates watching the show nearby would also join the criticism camp.
The criticism of Ainuo finally ended with Officer A Dan taking the stage. The straightforward officer had no nonsense and went straight to the point.
[Good afternoon, fellow classmates! Very happy to see everyone with such spirited looks!] Officer A Dan greeted energetically, [This afternoon was originally scheduled for everyone to enter the Nature Reserve for a visit, but due to adjustment, it’s changed to the perimeter of the Training Center, that is, the area where you all will start the confrontation match tomorrow. Just treat it as advance preview for your confrontation match!]
Everyone: This is way too casual!
However, though everyone complained, being able to enter the forest around the Nature Reserve was still a rare experience for most students. After Officer A Dan stepped down from the speech platform, buzzing discussion voices rose in each class’s group.
Everyone’s faces were full of excitement, only Xiang Chuan frowned tightly, her face as sour as Ainuo standing not far behind her.
“Xiang Chuan, do you want me to ask the teacher and instructor for a leave for you?” Chou Manman asked worriedly.
“It’s fine. My light tolerance is already much better than before lunch. Maybe it’ll recover while in the forest later?” She said it easily on the surface, but if you ignored Xiang Chuan’s face-death expression, you’d definitely think this person was familiar enough with the Nature Reserve to ride a horse in and out seven times back and forth.
