Chapter 274: Chapter 274: 274: Don't Leave After School (35)

Jih Cheng flipped through the household registration book back and forth.

There were only two names on it, Xu Chuzheng and Xu Jicheng.

Jih Cheng’s eyes gleamed faintly, his lips curved into a slight arch, his whole being as if awash with light, so good-looking that it was hard to look away.

He closed the household registration book and placed it on his chest, slowly falling back onto the bed.

That night, holding Chuzheng in his arms, Jih Cheng was utterly delighted, having completely forgotten about his current predicament.

“Baby, school is about to start, are you still going to keep me locked up?”

“School is starting…”

Chuzheng pondered thoughtfully.

All of a sudden, Chuzheng flipped over, and under Jih Cheng’s puzzled gaze, took out a pile of homework and dumped it in front of him.

The young girl kept a straight face, earnest and serious, “I haven’t done my homework.”

“…”

Jih Cheng couldn’t help but laugh as he pulled her back to bed, and after kissing her for a while, he said, “Stop fussing. It’s late at night. I’ll help you with it tomorrow.”

Chuzheng contentedly rubbed his head.

Well-played.

The Good Person Card was still somewhat useful aside from kisses.

–

Senior year began.

Zhu Zian and Yao Fei chose to repeat the year, and since Dingyang Middle School offered classes for repeaters, both Zhou Zian and Yao Fei stayed on.

Fatty, for some reason, also decided to stay and repeat the year.

Last semester’s grades were already posted on the bulletin board.

Because Yu Yue scored perfect marks in several subjects and ranked first, she entered the classroom in a great mood, not forgetting to give Chuzheng a provocative look.

Chuzheng thought silently, wondering if Yu Yue still liked to drink milk tea.

As a result, Yu Yue quickly received milk teas sent from students of various classes.

Yu Yue had developed a psychological shadow regarding milk tea and was nearly driven insane by these students.

However, since they were only sending milk tea and doing nothing else, the teachers were powerless to stop them.

Yu Yue could only go through the motions with a dark face. Even after throwing a tantrum, people kept sending them non-stop.

“Baby,” Jih Cheng whispered, holding Chuzheng’s hand under the table, “why are you tormenting her?”

Chuzheng gripped his hand back, “Or should I torment you?”

Jih Cheng, whose ears suddenly turned red, seemed to think of something. He tried to withdraw his hand but was pinned down firmly by Chuzheng.

With Chuzheng watching him, Jih Cheng couldn’t go out to work. He was in high spirits and didn’t want to sleep, so he could only quietly attend class.

Not two days into the school year, Chuzheng heard that Qin Feng had switched girlfriends.

Previously, Qin Feng had shown interest in getting close to Chuzheng.

He probably was deterred by Chuzheng’s action of spending money to buy up the store; afterward, he never hovered around her again.

Yu Yue was the girlfriend Qin Feng had kept for the longest time, which was already quite remarkable.

In the story, Yu Yue and Qin Feng didn’t break up, so Chuzheng wasn’t sure if it was the original character who had acted as an emotional buffer. Now that Chuzheng wasn’t following the script, they had broken up.

However, this breakup didn’t last long, and Yu Yue and Qin Feng were back together again soon after.

“With a look like yours, you think you’re worthy of Qin Feng?”

“Don’t you know Qin Feng is our Yue Yue’s boyfriend?”

“Speak! How did you seduce Qin Feng?”

Chuzheng stood against the wall, glancing over to see what seemed to be the girl Qin Feng had dated after breaking up with Yu Yue.

The girl was disheveled, cornered against the wall.

Yu Yue stood behind, not laying a hand on her.

After her lackeys finished lecturing the girl, Yu Yue approached with a somewhat sharp broken branch in her hand.

The girl’s mouth was covered, unable to even cry out.

Yu Yue tossed aside the branch and kicked the girl to the ground, “If I catch you getting close to Qin Feng again, watch your face.”

The girl clutched her bleeding face and looked at her in terror.

Yu Yue left with her group, walking tall.

Chuzheng thought the girl was quite pitiful, but she had no interest in sympathizing with her.

So after Yu Yue left, Chuzheng left without a shred of sympathy as well.

Yu Yue and Qin Feng’s reconciliation didn’t last long before someone reported them to the head of discipline.

The head of discipline had always been strict about student romances, and Yu Yue and Qin Feng were called to the office.

But Yu Yue ended up betraying Chuzheng and Jih Cheng.

Yu Yue had thought that Chuzheng would be punished, but after waiting several days, there was no news at all.

Instead, Qin Feng’s parents came to the school and gave Yu Yue a severe scolding, causing Yu Yue to lose face completely.

Though the incident caused quite a stir, in the end, it was left unresolved.

Qin Feng and Yu Yue were still together.

“What’s for dinner tonight?” Jicheng asked Chuzheng while slumped over the desk.

“Whatever.”

“There’s no ‘whatever.'” The young man puffed out his cheeks slightly and pushed the notebook over, “Here, you choose.”

The notebook had several dishes drawn on it, all labeled with names.

Chuzheng randomly ticked one off.

The young man pulled back the notebook, looked at it and said, “Then you have to come with me to the supermarket.”

Supermarket = hassle.

Chuzheng immediately arrived at this conclusion in her mind.

“We can eat out.”

“No,” the young man refused.

“…” Are you getting feisty now, you little thing!

“Ah!” A sudden scream came from outside.

“Someone is jumping off the building!”

“Someone is going to jump off the building!”

The students in the classroom, upon hearing the shouting outside, completely disregarded the teacher’s calls and rushed out.

A student stood on the rooftop of their teaching building.

She was halfway out, swaying and at risk of falling, which looked very dangerous.

When Chuzheng saw this girl, she thought of the original host… who also jumped from there.

“Little junior sister.” Zhu Zian and Fatty squeezed up to Chuzheng, “Are you here to join the excitement too?”

Chuzheng, with a cold face: “No.”

I’m definitely not here for the excitement!

What nonsense are you talking about!

I’m just going with the flow!

Going with the flow, get it!

“Isn’t it good to be alive? Why jump off a building?” Fatty said with a sigh, “Ah, she’s about to fall out.”

The girl on the rooftop was in grave danger, at risk of falling at any moment.

The teachers and school leaders had already received the news and rushed to the rooftop.

It was just now that someone talked to the girl, agitating her, which led to her making such a drastic move.

Fatty went to the side to inquire.

He quickly returned with the gossip.

The girl was the one who had her face scratched by Yu Yue. Because Yu Yue suspected her of tattling, Yu Yue had been making trouble for her all this time.

No one knew what the people above had said to the girl.

The girl suddenly let out an excited scream and leapt down.

“Ah—”

The screams rose and fell in succession.

The students all covered their faces, not daring to watch the gruesome scene.

The girl landed in a bush where she had jumped, crashing directly into it.

The school’s security guards rushed over, parted the bushes, and expected to see a bloody scene, but instead, they saw the girl with a pale face, lying in the bushes and looking at them in shock.

This…

She didn’t die?

From such a height?

The silver light receded from around the girl, pulled back through the crowd, and returned to Chuzheng’s side. It circled her briefly before finally winding back onto her wrist.

“[Miss, you saved her.]” King’s Account sounded a bit surprised.

“Which eye of yours saw me save her?” Chuzheng asked coldly, “Spouting nonsense.”

“[…]” I mean, miss, you deny doing bad things, but why deny doing good ones as well!!

But Miss actually saved someone.

Are knives going to fall from the sky now?
