Chapter 71: Plot Progress 75
Jiang Ning casually found a seat by the window.
It was separated from Xie Jingyan’s seat by a bus corridor.
As soon as Su Wanyuan got on the bus, she hesitated for a moment, but still didn’t dare to sit next to Xie Jingyan, so she sat in the row behind him.
Jiang Ning yawned, took out her earphones, then leaned back in her seat to listen to music.
As soon as Shen Jinhe got on the bus, she started looking for someone.
Su Wanyuan was the first to see her.
She happily waved at her: “Jin He, over here.”
Shen Jinhe politely smiled at her.
Her gaze finally found Jiang Ning in the corner.
She sat directly next to Jiang Ning and complained, “It’s really not easy to even see you once!”
Jiang Ning turned her head, her face full of confusion.
Why see her?
The smile on Su Wanyuan’s lips froze as she saw Shen Jinhe already chatting with Jiang Ning.
She ignored the slight displeasure in her heart.
Shen Jinhe wasn’t her property, and she had no right to stop her from making friends.
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow: “Why do you keep wanting to find me when there’s nothing wrong?”
Shen Jinhe gave her a dissatisfied glance: “We’ve been through such a thrilling event together, we’re friends in adversity, so why are you so indifferent to me, Jiang Ning? Why are you avoiding me?”
Jiang Ning denied it: “Why would I avoid you for no reason? Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Don’t think I didn’t notice. Every time I go to Ninth Middle School and accidentally see you, you turn and run. Why do you run? Am I some flood and fierce beast?”
Jiang Ning: “…”
What!
She thought she had hidden well, but she had been seen.
She started making excuses: “Every time I see you, there’s someone around, so I didn’t go disturb you.”
Shen Jinhe blinked: “You mean Su Wanyuan?”
She looked serious like a big sister, but radiant when smiling: “She’s thanking me for helping her and brings me the small cookies she made almost every day. I couldn’t refuse her, afraid she’d run into Huo Chengxuan on the way back, so I can only send her back to Ninth Middle School every day, and look for you along the way, but you avoid me! I’m angry now.”
She crossed her arms, her eyes questioning.
Jiang Ning: “…”
Shen Jinhe continued: “Aren’t we friends? Let’s hang out together from now on.”
Jiang Ning: “!!!”
Who’s friends with whom?
Shen Jinhe with her?!
“This…” Jiang Ning was stunned.
The plot seemed to have gone off track again.
“Don’t refuse me anymore. You’re the first person I want to actively get to know, Jiang Ning. Will we become good friends in the future?” Shen Jinhe looked into her eyes and asked seriously.
Jiang Ning felt sweat starting to break out on her back.
She turned to glance at Su Wanyuan, who was looking at them with a dim expression.
Jiang Ning quietly swallowed and uncertainly replied: “Probably…”
“Oh yeah~” Shen Jinhe hugged Jiang Ning tightly: “Don’t avoid me anymore, got it? We’re friends now.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
[Ding, plot point +5, plot progress 75%.]
Little Honey: [Although it’s confusing, it increased…]
Jiang Ning forgot to resist while being hugged.
She asked in her mind: 『What’s going on? The big shot second female lead wants to be friends with me, what about the female lead? Isn’t she her good best friend?』
Little Honey: [To be honest… I don’t know either. From the moment you broke off with the second male lead, the plot changed. Future plot might fill these gaps ahead of time. Host, prepare for it to collapse even more…]
Can it collapse more than now?
Su Wanyuan huddled in the corner.
She felt her heart being crushed and kneaded.
Despite her true heart, she still couldn’t compare to Jiang Ning.
The person she likes stays by Jiang Ning’s side.
The friend she truly wants to make is here for Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was clearly so bad before, why… does someone like this deserve to be forgiven?
Does the harm she brought just not count?
This world is unfair.
Su Wanyuan lowered her head, hiding her emotions.
Jiang Ning felt a bit melancholic in her heart. What kind of people are these?
Jiang Yan too, just think Su Wanyuan saved him, why come ask her about it.
Shen Jinhe too, inexplicably wanting to be friends with her.
The most infuriating is Xie Jingyan, he actually thinks being with Su Wanyuan is unlucky!
So, getting abused by the original host for a year isn’t unlucky?
It really made Jiang Ning unable to see through him.
Whatever, her primary task now is to first see what the top grade looks like. Others can wait.
As long as she gains plot points.
The bus drove all the way to Capital City, and it was already 2 p.m. when they arrived.
The lead teacher told them to put their luggage in the hotel first.
The booked hotel rooms were doubles, and Jiang Ning was assigned to room with a girl from her class.
And Su Wanyuan unexpectedly was roomed with Shen Jinhe.
Look at this plot’s inevitability, determined to let the future best friend duo develop their relationship.
Jiang Ning didn’t pay much attention. She came this time to take the exam seriously, plus quietly meet Meng Jing once, nothing else.
Before putting away luggage, Jiang Ning found that little fatty from Seventh Middle School and casually asked: “Where’s that boy from your school who got on the wrong bus? Why hasn’t he come yet?”
Little Fatty was puzzled: “Do you need him for something?”
Jiang Ning quickly waved her hands: “No, I’m just concerned about a classmate, afraid something happens to him on the road.”
Little Fatty: “…”
If he remembered correctly, this pretty girl in front of him was from Ninth Middle School, right?
Not even classmates with their Seventh Middle School students, eight poles couldn’t reach, not even alumni.
“Uh, want me to ask for you?”
Jiang Ning thought, if he asks, wouldn’t it expose her?
She hurriedly waved: “No need, no need. I was just asking casually. Don’t tell anyone about this.”
Xie Jingyan happened to pass by and heard the entire conversation between Jiang Ning and Little Fatty.
Seeing her nervous expression, her big eyes darting around, clearly up to no good.
“Don’t tell her, or that person is dead.” Xie Jingyan suddenly spoke.
Scaring both Jiang Ning and Little Fatty.
Little Fatty was even more dazed: “Huh?”
Jiang Ning was furious: “What nonsense are you spouting? I’m not some gangster!”
She hurriedly turned to Little Fatty with a kind smile: “Don’t listen to him. He just loves joking.”
“Heh.” Xie Jingyan chuckled lightly, then walked away.
Jiang Ning: “…”
Little Fatty: “…”
Although Xie Jingyan said nothing more, it was more convincing.
He immediately slipped away: “I have something, gotta go.”
Jiang Ning stomped her feet in anger on the spot. The next second, her mobile phone rang.
Chunfen: [I’m in Capital City. Can we meet tonight?]
Jiang Ning’s face turned green.
She pretended not to see it and switched her mobile phone to vibrate.
What if the top grade is really in the crowd and calls her with a voice message? Wouldn’t that expose her?
Xie Jingyan frowned, seeing the message sink like a stone in the sea.
He resisted the urge to call, afraid she was still napping and not awake.
The door was knocked.
Xie Jingyan put his mobile phone back in his pocket, opened the door, and He Shang walked in.
“Why was your bus so slow! I’ve been waiting in Capital City for two hours!”
