Chapter 64: Then I Wish You Eternal Life
Su Wanyuan was startled. She had a good impression of Jiang Yan, but it hadn’t reached the point of liking him yet. The person she liked was Xie Jingyan, but Xie Jingyan refused to forgive her.
“Jiang Yan and I are good friends. I’m not like you, Young Lady, whose mind is full of romance.” Su Wanyuan retorted.
“Is that so.” Jiang Ning wasn’t annoyed, her voice casual: “My younger brother has gone from secret crush to open pursuit. You must not let down his feelings. If you’re good to him even a little, he would give his life to you.”
Su Wanyuan’s facial expression turned ugly. She suddenly felt that standing with Jiang Yan was a bit too conspicuous.
She stuck out her neck and retorted: “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Things between A Yan and me are perfectly clean.”
Jiang Yan’s left cheek was both painful and hot. It was because Su Wanyuan had rescued him that he decided not to have regrets, so he started actively showing favor.
Since Gu Lanli could openly like Su Wanyuan, he could too.
His feelings for Su Wanyuan were mixed with gratitude and countless complex emotions.
But this couldn’t be an excuse for Jiang Ning to attack them.
He pulled Su Wanyuan behind his back.
His eyes fixed on Jiang Ning, full of disgust for her: “Ask yourself honestly, have you ever treated me as a younger brother? Have you ever truly considered me at any moment? Have you ever helped me? Besides bullying people, what else can you do? Only Wanyuan truly thinks for me.”
Settle the accounts with her here?
Jiang Ning directly bypassed him: “If you put it that way, I have to think for you too. Tomorrow I’ll order ten sets of Gaokao practice papers for you. Instead of wasting time, you should strive more for next year’s Gaokao. Su Wanyuan is second in the whole school, and with your bottom-of-the-class grades, always thinking about romance, are you worthy?”
Su Wanyuan: “…”
Jiang Yan: “…”
It was still Su Wanyuan who pulled him away: “No need to get angry over someone unimportant. A Yan, stay far away from her from now on.”
Jiang Yan stared dead at Jiang Ning’s back view as she left, his heart inexplicably filled with unwillingness.
[Ding, Plot Point +5, Plot Progress 70%.]
Huh, it increased!
Even Jiang Ning found it unbelievable.
Did she just trigger some key point?
Little Honey was even more excited: [Aah, 70 already, Host, just 30 more and we can all be freed.]
Jiang Ning could already see the one hundred million beckoning to her.
She returned to the classroom in an extremely good mood.
Looking at her neat desk, it was definitely Xie Jingyan who tidied it.
At this moment, he was reading with his head down. Jiang Ning sighed: “You’re somewhat useful, knowing to tidy up for me.”
Xie Jingyan looked up at her, stating flatly without emotion: “The classroom gets cleaned every day, and hygiene classes are evaluated weekly. Not tidying would affect the score.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She really asked unnecessarily.
She slapped her hand on his book, blocking his view and forcing him to look at her.
Jiang Ning sneered, narrowing her eyes slightly, her expression very displeased.
“Your sponsor has been sick for so many days, and I haven’t seen you ask how I am or say anything nice. Is there a way to do things with money like you?”
Jiang Ning just found him unpleasant and deliberately picked on him.
One standing and one sitting, Jiang Ning fully asserted her momentum.
Little one, I still can’t deal with you.
After a moment, his voice was flat: “Then I wish you eternal life.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
“Heh, what’s the difference between that and cursing me?”
Xie Jingyan brushed Jiang Ning’s hand away: “That’s the highest level blessing I can think of.”
She was somewhat speechless.
Xie Jingyan at this stage had a sense of flat death.
Like one of those half-dead fish in a pond that twitches when poked.
Facing the vicious female supporting character Jiang Ning, he was even more defeatist, with a broken-jar-broken feeling.
She decided to provoke his Hate Value a bit, at least get some reaction, otherwise she was failing too much as this vicious female supporting character.
“I warn you, if you talk to me like this again, I’ll dig three feet underground to find your sick sister and stop her from getting treatment.”
Finally.
Mentioning his sister.
Only then did Xie Jingyan look at her squarely.
There was no initial madness in his eyes wanting to strangle Jiang Ning; it was very calm.
“She’s sick and hospitalized. If you have any grudge, come at me. Let her go; she’s just a little girl.” Xie Jingyan said flatly with a scoff: “If you want to vent your temper, like before, get a group of people to beat me up. If that’s not enough, stab me; I won’t resist. You capitalists have already driven my sister out of the hospital, so don’t torment her anymore.”
Jiang Ning had a headache. This nerve, saying the craziest things in the calmest tone.
Advancing the plot with Xie Jingyan and matching him with Su Wanyuan, this pair of tragic lovers, was really hard.
“I don’t want to go to jail for intentional injury yet. Heh, stabbing you dead would deprive me of a lot of fun. You won’t escape my torment in this lifetime!”
Jiang Ning was toughest with her mouth all over her body.
After saying that, she sat down at her seat.
“Since you can’t bring yourself to do it, don’t threaten me with my sister anymore.” Xie Jingyan lowered his eyelashes, his voice cold and flat: “Jiang Ning, do you know how long a person’s life can be? Some people only live through this year—that’s their whole life. Some only to next year—that’s also a lifetime. Some ten years, twenty years. So, Young Lady Jiang, don’t you like my blessing?”
Jiang Ning was slightly stunned, turning to meet Xie Jingyan’s abyss-like black eyes.
He gave her a faint smile.
Jiang Ning’s heart instantly crawled with fear, her alertness to danger reaching its peak.
Damn!
Was this buddy already hinting at her future death date?!
Jiang Ning was crying inside, but her mouth remained unyielding: “Oh, really? What does it have to do with me, Young Lady? A fortune teller said when I was little that I’d live to a hundred.”
Xie Jingyan withdrew his gaze and started working on the exercise book: “My grandma got one for me too. She also said I’d live to a hundred. So let’s see who has the harder life.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She turned her head to look out the window, feeling a bit inferior.
Can’t win the argument.
So annoying.
‘Little Honey, can I just kill the male and female leads and all these annoying supporting characters and become the emperor of this world!’
Little Honey: […I think going to heaven would be easier for you.]
Jiang Ning slumped on the desk.
Sigh, emperor dream shattered.
Otherwise, in cases like Xie Jingyan defying her, she could exterminate his nine clans!
…
Jiang Ning worked on mathematics problems in the classroom all day.
Because she was too focused, she didn’t even know what Xie Jingyan next to her was doing.
Near the end of school.
Liu Huanhuan ran to Jiang Ning in a panic: “Xie Jingyan is in trouble!”
Jiang Ning blinked her eyes, looking at Liu Huanhuan and uncertainly pointing at herself: “Are you talking to me?”
Liu Huanhuan bit her lip. Although she really didn’t like Jiang Ning, the situation was urgent now.
“Yes, Jiang Ning. I know your family is big and powerful with connections. Xie Jingyan rescued Su Wanyuan from a bully, but both were forcibly taken away by the bully. Jiang Ning, go save him. That bully looks fierce and evil, clearly not a good person.”
Jiang Ning was shocked.
She had just been sighing that the male and female lead storyline was hard to progress.
In just one day, Xie Jingyan had gone to rescue Su Wanyuan?
She had to go see this drama!
