Chapter 159 I Want to Put You in a Box (Fourth Update, Please Vote!)

"First of all, there are some familiar faces and some new faces. But I believe that everyone has come to this class through hard work. Although there are many things in life that are more important than studying, since we are all gathered here, it means we are here for the same goal. I won't say much more. My surname is Chen and my given name is Xuan. You can ask me anything if you have any questions at school. The seats will be arranged as they are for now, and I will change them if there are any other arrangements later."

The somewhat overweight, middle-aged man with a potbelly spoke calmly from the podium.

And offstage.

"You're so mean."

Cai Yan couldn't help but whisper to Gu Huai behind her.

Looking at Su Yiming below the podium, who seemed lost in thought, like a zombie, Cai Yan felt a pang of guilt.

Gu Huai, on the other hand, seemed completely unaffected, resting his cheek on his hand and leaning lazily against the table.

"No matter what's wrong, sometimes it's polite to accommodate someone's good intentions."

"You did this on purpose. Why didn't you tell him in the first place?"

Cai Yan couldn't help but find it amusing, but she also felt a little strange, since she hadn't exposed Gu Huai's little scheme back then.

This seems to turn into two people conspiring to do bad things together.

There was a strange, indescribable thrill.

"You didn't say anything at the beginning?"

"That's what I am"

"Stop talking?"

Gu Huai said with amusement.

Cai Yan couldn't help but glare at Gu Huai, "I'll settle the score with you later!"

Classroom is definitely not a good time to discuss these things, especially since I've been assigned to a new class and I need to perform well.

As for Gu Huai, it doesn't matter much.

He didn't intend to raise his grades to an extraordinary level; he just wanted to maintain them at a reasonable level. If there was a mock college entrance exam, he would control his scores and stick to the original trajectory to get into the original university.

So expecting a great performance is pointless; in fact, it might make people think you underperformed.

At that time, would Cai Yan be disappointed in him? By the way, where did Cai Yan go for her exam? He didn't know at first.

I'll ask them in real life when I have the chance.

It seems that the college entrance examination, which is still a long way off, cannot be finalized so early, making things a little complicated.

Thinking this, time quickly came for lunch break.

Cai Yan was originally planning to settle accounts with Gu Huai, but she found that as soon as the bell rang and the teacher announced the end of get out of class, this guy quickly joined a group of people rushing to the cafeteria to get food.

How infuriating!
Oh well, we'll see each other tonight anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to settle scores!
Just thinking so.

Cai Yan got up to leave.

"Cai Yan, wait a moment."

Turning her head, Cai Yan saw Su Yiming rushing towards her and frowned. "Is something the matter?"

I was just saying I felt a little guilty, but now I can't help but feel irritable.

It seems that some people really don't deserve my guilt.

"Um...would you like to go out for dinner together?"

Without even thinking, Cai Yan replied perfunctorily, "I'm sorry, I made plans with Lulu. I also don't like eating with guys, so please don't ask again, thank you."

After saying that, Cai Yan turned and left.

As I walked out of the classroom, I grew angrier and angrier.

Gu Huai and Su Yiming are both very annoying!

Especially Gu Huai, he's a pig, why does he run so fast at mealtimes!

They don't even try to shield themselves or anything.

Using you as a shield? Gu Huai is almost at the cafeteria entrance, and you're still nagging him about this and that.

If you're not enthusiastic about eating, then there's something wrong with your brain.

But thinking about it carefully, it's not like it's the company cafeteria, so why should I be in such a hurry to eat this?
It doesn't taste good either.
I slowed my pace, but then I saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the cafeteria.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Huai lightened his steps, making him appear unusually light and even inconspicuous.

Then, quietly approach from behind.

"Snapped."

"what!"

With just a gentle pat on that slender, fragrant shoulder, the other person would jump up like a rabbit.

The ponytail jumped several stories high.

Then, Gu Huai, who had done something wrong and was still grinning mischievously, saw the girl in front of him turn around with her face flushed. The moment she saw that it was Gu Huai, the anger on her face subsided considerably.

However, I still have some complaints.

"Brother Gu Huai? You scared me to death! Why did you do this?!"

The young girl Lin Jiang, with her cheeks slightly puffed out, looked almost too cute.

Gu Huai smiled apologetically, "I just saw you were eating so slowly and wanted to remind you."

"You're lying, you're just trying to scare me."

Lin Jiang pouted slightly as she spoke.

"Oh dear, what should we do? I've already scared you. How about I treat you to dinner?"

Gu Huai said with a smile.

Lin Jiang gave a light snort, just as Gu Huai was about to jokingly offer to treat her to a meal at the cafeteria.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jiang said to him, "Treat me to a meal at the cafeteria."

"Huh? Eating in the cafeteria?"

On the contrary, Gu Huai was completely stumped.

He said it was a joke, just to hear her say, "You're just eating in the cafeteria?" to create a funny effect.

What does she say about it?

Lin Jiang nodded naturally, "That's right. It's too wasteful to eat out. Brother Gu Huai's allowance is useful, so let's eat in the cafeteria."

She didn't seem aggrieved at all; on the contrary, she seemed very happy.

A sense of guilt welled up in Gu Huai's heart.

She's such a lovely girl, you wouldn't want to hurt her even a little bit.

"Then let's get in line, what else is there to say?"

They led the other person into the cafeteria and began to wait in a long queue.

During this time, Lin Jiang asked curiously, "By the way, there was a lot of noise upstairs when get out of class ended. Have you already been divided into different classes?"

Gu Huai nodded, "Yes, we were just assigned to classes this morning and only had one class so far."

"Is the class assignment good?"

"Experimental Class One, they should be alright, right?"

"Wow, that's amazing! You're so smart!"

If Cai Yan had said this, Gu Huai would have thought it was sarcastic, but looking at Lin Jiang, whose eyes seemed to be shining, he felt like he was floating. "Is that impressive? Actually, it's not that bad. I barely made it in. It's not that impressive."

"No, that's not it. It's not just about class assignments. Brother Gu Huai tutored me very well too. Yesterday, we had a math test in class, and I felt like I did pretty well."

Looking at the girl's bright face and sincerely admiring his own appearance, Gu Huai felt quite pleased.

"Although Xiao Jiang, you are indeed very good at praising people, there is something I need to deal with first."

"Little Jiang?"

Lin Jiang hadn't even realized why the other person was calling her Xiao Jiang instead of Xiao Lin when she saw Gu Huai turn around, reach out, grab a boy by the collar, and forcefully pull him out of the line.

"Let go! What are you doing?!"

The boy looked at Gu Huai with a puzzled expression, while Gu Huai stared back at him calmly, even with a hint of indifference.

"You think you're in the right for cutting in line while I'm talking? Do you even know who I am?"

"I didn't cut in line! Who are you?!"

This tone immediately betrayed the other party's guilty conscience. Lin Jiang tugged at Gu Huai's sleeve with some concern, not wanting to see this young man get into a conflict with someone.

After all, in her mind, if a conflict occurs, both parties might be held accountable by the teacher, which would be bad for both of them.

Gu Huai sneered.

Does Chen Pinyan know?

The boy burst out laughing upon hearing this. "Don't pretend. I know Chen Pinyan. She's gone now, and you're still impersonating her?"

Gu Huai laughed even harder, "Why would I impersonate him? Since you know Chen Pinyan, don't you know that I'm the one who took him away?"

"Is that so?"

The boy was clearly stunned. Many of his classmates knew about Chen Pinyan being forced to transfer schools, but there were many different versions of the story. But it seemed they all pointed to external reasons, so how did it become his fault?
Gu Huai chuckled lightly, "You don't know anything. I'll let it slide this time for cutting in line, but try it again next time. By the way, my name is Gu Huai, and I'm in Experimental Class One. Feel free to come and cause trouble anytime."

"."

Depend on.

So arrogant?

They even revealed their names? And they're from Experimental Class One? So many questions, coupled with the other person's inexplicable frankness and confidence, suddenly turned into indescribable pressure.

The boy didn't persist, and after muttering something, he moved on to another line.

Seeing this, Lin Jiang breathed a long sigh of relief. She didn't care about who was stronger or weaker; as long as no conflict occurred, that was good.

"I almost thought he was going to attack, thank goodness."

"Don't worry, don't be too polite to those who cut in line. Shout it out loud, and the people who are honestly standing behind you will be even angrier than you."

Lin Jiang said softly, "It's a good thing that Brother Gu Huai is here. If it were me, I probably wouldn't dare to say anything and would just sulk."

"Then what awaits you is him immediately calling all his friends and classmates to cut in line with you."

Gu Huai was very experienced in this area.

After all, this kind of thing often happened back in high school. I thought I could just bear it and it would be fine, since there was only one person there. But when I got close to the window, the other person started calling their friends, and one by one they squeezed through.

The cafeteria ladies serving food don't care about these things. Even if there's still food left when it's your turn, you'll already be full of anger.

However, this time, directly exposing the other party wasn't just empty boasting. Gu Huai truly had nothing to fear; the apprehension, worry, and indecisiveness he once possessed were no longer present in him. He was even somewhat grateful to his unreliable family for giving him another push.

Compared to before, this means I've finally gone mad.

Isn't this good? This feeling of only caring about my own comfort is simply wonderful.

"That seems to be true. But Brother Gu Huai should still be careful. Fighting with others will ultimately put you in danger."

The girl cautiously reminded the other person.

Gu Huai smiled and nodded, "I know, I'll be careful. I'm not a violent maniac."

"Hehe, of course I know that Brother Gu Huai is actually a very gentle person~"

Ouch, this little cat named Lin Jiang is really scratchy.

In the end, no one cut in line anymore, and the boy they had kicked out didn't call anyone to cause trouble. They got their food smoothly and found a place to eat together.

"correct."

"how?"

Looking at Lin Jiang, who suddenly raised her head and seemed somewhat hesitant.

She glanced at herself furtively, then quickly looked down, listlessly picking at her rice with her chopsticks and speaking softly.

"Gu Huai shouldn't be busy tomorrow, right?"

Gu Huai glanced at her, as if remembering something.

"Oh, I seem to be a bit busy. I suddenly remembered someone made plans with me."

"Is that so? Oh. Well, then Brother Gu Huai, you can go ahead and get busy. I'm fine, I was just asking."

So you really don't remember?
He also had no reason to remember his own affairs.

It's already troublesome enough that they help me with my homework. Last time, they even went to the backstage of the auditorium to ease my nervousness. I've already troubled them enough, how can they expect more?

I thought so.

However, Lin Jiang couldn't help but feel a little wronged, and even a little sour.

It's really unpleasant to be ignored, even if you know the other person didn't mean it.
Even if you know that there's no such thing as keeping a promise, at least he genuinely agreed at the time, and that's enough, right?
As I was thinking this, the food I ate tasted somewhat bitter.

I felt a little warmth in my head.

She raised her head blankly and looked at Gu Huai.

She saw the young man gazing at her with a gentle smile.

"If you don't tell me the time and place of the semi-finals, where am I supposed to go to work?"

"."

The girl's eyes widened uncontrollably, as if arcs of light rippled within them.

Only one sentence kept replaying in her mind.

He remembers, he remembers, he remembers!

Soon, all her grievances turned into surprise, and she even became a little coquettish.

"Brother Gu Huai is teasing me again."

I clearly remember saying that on purpose just now.

Gu Huai smiled and withdrew his hand. "There's nothing I can do. Little Jiang is just too cute. Only a genius could resist making jokes."

Actually, I wanted to say eunuch.

"Humph."

While he was expressing his dissatisfaction with this soft humming, deep down, a little puppy was already wagging its tail wildly.

Am I cute?

You're the cutest.

It's so cute that I want to put it in a box and take it to competitions all over the country.

That would definitely put my mind at ease, right?
