Chapter 252: Chapter 252: 252: Don't Leave After School (13)

Chuzheng leaned against the hallway, watching Zhu Zian walk away.

Zhu Zian hadn’t come in with her.

When Chuzheng had come in, she was already holding the milk tea for him, but Jih Cheng thought that the milk teas should have been bought by her.

He wasn’t quite sure why Yu Yue had such a strong reaction upon seeing the milk tea, almost turning the whole classroom upside down.

But he was sure that Chuzheng was deliberately provoking Yu Yue.

Moreover, everyone in the class said it was Zhu Zian who had delivered it.

Yu Yue only felt that Zhu Zian was backing Chuzheng and purposely messing with her, without giving it a second thought.

–

Chuzheng brought snacks for Jih Cheng every day, and at first, he was a bit resistant.

But resistance was futile, if he didn’t eat them, Chuzheng would bring something else the next day, without getting angry or complaining, which Jih Cheng found very puzzling.

Later on, he just ate them…

But Jih Cheng only ate sweets, not touching anything else.

After that, Chuzheng only brought sweets.

During this period, Chuzheng underwent great changes, which seemed odd to everyone at first, but as time went by, everyone got used to it.

As for Jih Cheng, he spent most of his time sleeping.

During weekly tests, he would either turn in a blank paper or randomly fill in a few multiple-choice questions, and they were always wrong, too.

The teacher seemed to know about his grades and didn’t bother with him.

Jih Cheng was so quiet, and the occasional sullen expression that appeared on his face had a kind of decadent beauty.

Therefore, some girls were once again seduced by Jih Cheng’s exceedingly handsome looks and started fantasizing about him.

The rumors of him having killed someone were gradually replaced by other fresh news.

Like Qin Feng winning the first place in the national physics competition.

The whole school celebrated.

At Dingyang Middle School, which was neither high-profile nor low-key, suddenly having a student win the first place in the national physics competition was a big deal, so how could the school leaders not be happy?

Chuzheng stood on the balcony, watching the girls crowd around a boy heading towards the teaching building.

The boy at the center was indeed good-looking, brimming with youthfulness and defiance, meeting all the standards that teenage boys and girls admired at this age.

Unfortunately, he’s not as good-looking as my Good Person Card.

Chuzheng pondered the words ‘my’.

Then, she rightfully planned the Good Person Card as her own.

“Is he very handsome?”

Chuzheng glanced sideways, the young man stood with his hands in his pockets, calmly watching the scene below.

A faint scent of smoke lingered around the young man.

“Not bad.”

The young man didn’t offer any opinion on this response and turned to enter the classroom.

Qin Feng wasn’t in the same class as them, and by the time class was about to start, people were trickling back into the classroom, all talking about how impressive Qin Feng was.

Qin Feng’s popularity was the talk of the school for several days.

Chuzheng felt that she had changed the pace of events, and Qin Feng’s confession should probably not be directed at her.

But what she never expected was that she couldn’t avoid this issue after all.

Qin Feng was standing right in front of her now, the corners of his mouth lifted in a somewhat rascally grin. That rascally charm, coupled with his handsome face, it was no wonder girls liked him.

“Hey.”

He called out.

Chuzheng kept her hands in her pockets, her eyes calm as she looked at him, “What’s up?”

Qin Feng’s gaze circled around her.

The girls in the school become excited just by seeing him.

Why was this girl so calm?

Qin Feng pushed down the confusion in his heart and said, “I like you.”

“I don’t like you,” Chuzheng replied almost seamlessly.

Qin Feng: “…”

Even though it was just a game.

But to have his confession rejected?!

Qin Feng had never been treated like this before.

The girl in front of him wore a school uniform, the jacket only half-zipped, revealing the T-shirt inside. There wasn’t much difference in how many people dressed, but on her, it seemed to exude an extra bit of class, as if the cheap school uniform was suddenly elevated.

“Are you done?” Good dogs don’t stand in the way!

“…No.”

“Move aside.”

The girl’s expressionless face carried an air that made it impossible for people to refuse her.

Qin Feng did indeed do as she said.

He watched Chuzheng walk to the other side of the playground and finally stand in front of a boy to hand him a bottle of water.

Qin Feng’s brows furrowed slightly.

He knew who that boy was.

Jih Cheng.

A name that had been frequently on the lips of the girls at school lately.

The rumors about him were also quite arrogant.

But he hadn’t seen Jih Cheng do anything noteworthy; if it weren’t for the schoolgirls making a fuss, his presence would be as silent as if he didn’t exist at all.

“Bro Feng, what’s up with that?” Qin Feng’s classmate ran over.

Qin Feng, stroking his chin, said, “Help me find out, who was that girl just now.”

“Her? Xu Chuzheng, you were preparing for the physics competition, you didn’t know…” The classmate rattled off the details to Qin Feng.

“You mean, she wasn’t like this before?” Qin Feng asked.

“Yeah,” the classmate nodded, “But lately she’s been getting close with Zhu Zian and his gang, often seen coming and going to school together. Zhu Zian’s backing her up.”

This was also what most people at the school thought.

“Xu Chuzheng…” Qin Feng murmured.

“What’s up, Bro Feng? Got your eye on her?”

“No, just think she’s kind of interesting.”

–

Jih Cheng, holding the water, glanced over to the other side of the playground as if by accident.

“Do you know Qin Feng?” he asked.

“Don’t know him,” Chuzheng replied.

Jih Cheng hesitated, then asked her, “What was he saying to you just now?”

Chuzheng: “What’s it to you?”

Jih Cheng: “…”

Indeed, it wasn’t any of his business.

But when Qin Feng stood with her, something in his heart felt immensely irritated, and he wanted to separate the two of them.

But why?

Whatever she did was her freedom.

What did it have to do with him?

“Qin Feng has a lot of girlfriends, watch out for yourself,” Jih Cheng said.

“How would you know?” Chuzheng glanced sidelong at him. “Aren’t you always sleeping?”

And yet you have time to care about gossip?

“I just sleep, not hibernate,” Jih Cheng replied irritably, “I can hear what they’re discussing.”

He didn’t want to listen; he just happened to overhear!

Chuzheng abruptly changed the subject: “Sleeping all day, do you go out thieving at night?”

“Lectures just make me want to sleep.”

As a slacker student, that answer was quite fitting of Jih Cheng’s identity.

Jih Cheng seemed unwilling to continue the topic, “Classes are starting, I’m going back to the classroom.”

Chuzheng, with an expressionless face, called his bluff: “Next class is P.E., classmate.”

“I’m going back to the classroom to sleep,” Jih Cheng said as he strode off with his long legs, hurrying away.

–

When class ended, Chuzheng saw Qin Feng. He appeared at the classroom door, causing each girl in the room to blush and their eyes to sparkle with warmth.

“Yu Yue.”

Qin Feng called out to Yu Yue.

Basking in the envious and jealous gazes of everyone else, Yu Yue walked out cheerfully.

“Qin Feng, what’s up?” Yu Yue asked.

“Let me treat you to milk tea,” Qin Feng offered her a milk tea, but his sidelong glance fell on Chuzheng.

The girl sitting there propped her chin and looked out the window, completely ignoring this side of the room.

Yu Yue’s expression soured considerably.

The classroom fell silent in an instant.

“What’s wrong, don’t you like it?” Qin Feng asked in confusion when Yu Yue didn’t take the milk tea after a while.

“…” I don’t like it anymore! Just looking at it makes me want to vomit!
