CHAPTER 839: CHAPTER 495 HIS EYES

September 2nd, Tuesday.

During the break after the second afternoon class, the classroom of Class 8 was bustling, the ceiling fan turned to its maximum speed, desperately sending wind to dispel the summer heat.

Chai Wei had a smile on his face, full of youthful arrogance as he spoke with youthful exuberance.

After he disciplined Gao Heshuai last night, it was said that there was a furious outburst in the office this morning, but alas, it was nothing more than impotent rage!

Ordinary person, ordinary person!

"Bai Yuxia, next week for the small dining table, let’s sit together, I’ll take care of you then!" The confident boy, handsome and naturally composed, Chai Wei started flirting with his tablemate.

From the first sight of Bai Yuxia, he was deeply moved, how could there be such a beautiful girl in the world, even more beautiful than all the girls in his previous Class 6 combined!

He swore he would win her over.

Bai Yuxia replied calmly and unhurriedly, "Let’s see how the school arranges it."

Chai Wei took it upon himself to decide, "We’ll sign up together then, we’ll definitely be at the same table."

Bai Yuxia smiled slightly, she turned a bit to initiate a conversation with Jiang Ning:

"Tongtong is sleeping again."

She was resting contentedly, Jiang Ning placed a jacket over her small head, as if isolating her from the world.

"Let her sleep."

Jiang Ning took out a glass box, inside it held crystal bayberry: "It’s okay, let her sleep, we’ll eat some big fruits."

Reminded of yesterday’s delicious treat, that blend of sweet and sour taste, and the clarity of mind it brought afterwards, Bai Yuxia’s eyes inadvertently betrayed her longing, sparkling with hope.

Her good upbringing, and personal cultivation, made Bai Yuxia restrain her desire and forcefully divert her gaze.

Jiang Ning uncovered the glass lid, a faint coolness wafting away.

Chen Siyu at the back called out softly, "Are we really going to sneak eat while Tongtong is asleep?"

"Isn’t it a bit bad?" She felt quite guilty towards Tongtong, Chen Siyu rather wanted to eat openly, in front of Tongtong, to be fair.

Jiang Ning: "No problem, we’ll save some for her."

Hearing him say so, Chen Siyu and Bai Yuxia were relieved, they weren’t unscrupulous enough to sneak eat just yet.

Jiang Ning gave a portion to Bai Yuxia, a portion to Chen Siyu, upon seeing this, Chai Wei felt disdainful, it’s just bayberry, acting as if it’s so rare, as if no one has eaten it before.

He turned and walked outside for some fresh air.

Even if the other party didn’t offer, even if they did, Chai Wei would never eat others’ food!

Jiang Ning certainly didn’t mind him, and when it came to Geng Lu, Geng Lu, feeling embarrassed, wiped her hands, though still stained with pencil lead.

Jiang Ning noticed and said, "There are wooden forks, it’s okay."

Geng Lu: "What you give, I don’t want to be careless."

She stood up, planning to go wash her hands, "Want to come along?"

"Sure."

Geng Lu waited in the aisle for Jiang Ning, and next second, Jiang Ning pressed his palm on the windowsill, smoothly vaulted over the window.

Geng Lu: ’...an unexpected path.’

Geng Lu walked to the door, accompanying Jiang Ning.

Actually, you could wash hands in the classroom, but until now only Zhang Chi had done it, he used the water dispenser as a tap, and was severely condemned by the whole class, with threats to dock class funds if he did it again, only then did Zhang Chi desist.

In the hallway outside the classroom, a few students leaned against the balcony, gazing at the campus scene below.

Geng Lu didn’t choose the closer restroom; she and Jiang Ning went downstairs, heading to the largest and broadest washing area, because this route took longer, extending the time they spent together.

"Next period is self-study, can you help me with some math problems?" Geng Lu asked.

"No problem," Jiang Ning replied.

At the wash area, Geng Lu carefully scrubbed the pencil lead off her fingers.

Jiang Ning washed lightly, standing beside waiting for her.

Geng Lu glanced sideways; Jiang Ning was wearing a white shirt today, with the afternoon sun shining on him, it cast a halo around him.

He bathed in sunlight, with clear eyes, a tall and slender figure standing gracefully, showing hints of laziness and carefree attitude.

Geng Lu found him increasingly good-looking and sneaked a peek at him.

Jiang Ning noticed and looked down at her.

Geng Lu saw his eyebrows, sharply flying into the temples, like her ink-style drawings, from the corner of the eye to the tail, like the fine ink lines in meticulous drawing, soft and flexible.

Distinct black and white, without any impurities.

For some reason, Geng Lu always felt there was more flavor in his eyes, not as distant as before, yet she couldn’t quite describe it.

She stared, meeting Jiang Ning’s inexplicable smile.

Geng Lu hurriedly lowered her head, staring blankly at her chest to ease the awkwardness.

But soon, Geng Lu realized, when had she become so timid?

She no longer hesitated, instead, raised her head openly and said to Jiang Ning:

"Your eyes are very nice!"

Though she spoke naturally, inside, her heart was already in turmoil.

Jiang Ning’s reaction surprised her.

He stretched out his fingers, pinching above and below his eyes, gently applying force to make them bigger, playfully saying: "Then look closely."

Geng Lu was enveloped in immense joy, she nodded solemnly: "Hmm!"

...

Jiang Ning returned to the classroom, and to his surprise, Xue Yuantong was awake, angrily accusing:

"You actually ate without me!"

Halfway through her sentence, Jiang Ning flicked his hand, and the leftover water droplets splashed all over her face.

Xue Yuantong, caught off guard by the attack, quickly closed her eyes in defense.

When she realized the splashing had stopped, she sneaked her eyes open, only for Jiang Ning to flick his hand again.

"You’re too much!"

Xue Yuantong ran out of the classroom.

Bai Yuxia, who was watching the fun, coughed: "Cough cough."

He bullied Tongtong again, but this time did he make her angry?

Jiang Ning was not worried at all. Soon, Xue Yuantong came back. She had washed her face with clean water, shaking off the sleepiness and bringing a new weapon.

She came up to Jiang Ning, shook her little head, and water droplets splattered all over Jiang Ning’s face.

Bai Yuxia wiped his face with his hand, feeling a bit helpless.

...

In the back row of the classroom.

Liu Chuandao came out for some air, escaping from the terrifying four girls.

Duan Shigang: "How is it? How does it feel?"

Liu Chuandao’s mouth twitched as he tried to maintain his dignity, declaring confidently:

"I’ve decided to study hard from now on. I will improve in the next exam."

Duan Shigang: "Truly ambitious."

Once a delinquent, Duan Shigang had turned over a new leaf ever since learning about the seating change rules, finally escaping a nightmare-like life.

Liu Chuandao: "Just wait, I’ll study properly next class."

Duan Shigang thought to himself: ’This won’t do, if you study hard, what if I end up being last?’

In Class 8, under pressure from Pang Jiao and others, many boys experienced what it meant to be at the bottom of the workplace’s elimination system.

Duan Shigang said: "It’s hard, sitting next to them and trying to study seriously, it’s going to take quite some effort."

Liu Chuandao: "I’ll just pretend they’re dead, not talk to them. I still don’t believe it, if I don’t provoke them, can they still influence me?"

Wu Xiaoqi at the back was bouncing a basketball, not shooting it, finding it too funny.

Wu Xiaoqi snickered out loud: "Naive, naive, you’re too naive!"

He threw his head back and laughed.

Do you think just because you don’t provoke Pang Jiao, you won’t get provoked?

Having spent so much time with Pang Jiao, and acquiring much knowledge from Miao Zhe, Pang Jiao’s first desk mate, no other boy in Class 8 knew her better than Wu Xiaoqi.

Liu Chuandao: "What do you mean?"

Wu Xiaoqi sighed, shaking his head: "You’ll understand when you reach my level."

Liu Chuandao saw the arrogance radiating from this guy and felt displeased: "I’m asking you to speak, didn’t you hear?"

Wu Xiaoqi simply ignored him, placed the basketball down, and began bouncing it.

Liu Chuandao, tall and burly, often relied on his physique to act, called out: "A dwarf playing basketball? Watch me block you!"

He charged at Wu Xiaoqi.

Wang Longlong, observing the scene, shouted: "Brother Ma, Brother Ma, stop gaming and look quickly!!"

Liu Chuandao was about to charge into Wu Xiaoqi’s small frame to snatch the basketball.

However, having gotten up every day at 4 AM to practice basketball, Wu Xiaoqi had honed his skills to perfection.

Moving like a phantom, Wu Xiaoqi easily dodged Liu Chuandao’s attack and used his side to lightly bump him.

Accustomed to tussling with people on the court, Wu Xiaoqi’s strength was not to be underestimated!

Liu Chuandao lost his balance and under such power, he flew forward, crashing hard into the southern wall.

Wang Longlong shouted: "Oh my god, Wu Xiaoqi actually used the legendary technique ’Cloth Stick Eighteen Falls’!"

His words immediately caught the attention of many students.

Liu Chuandao pressed his hands against the concrete floor, struggling to stand with anger and the humiliation of being knocked over by someone only 1.6 meters tall!

The attention of pretty female classmates from a distance only amplified the humiliation tenfold, and anger consumed Liu Chuandao, causing him to lose all reason:

"Damn it, I’m going to kill you!"

Holding the basketball in one hand, Wu Xiaoqi posed as if throwing a grenade.

Just as the battle was about to erupt, a huge shadow appeared at the classroom door, a heroic voice rang out: "Who are you going to kill?"

Liu Chuandao turned his head and found himself facing a boy almost 1.9 meters tall, weighing two to three hundred pounds, as strong as a polar bear.

Standing before him, Liu Chuandao appeared like a child.

Liu Chuandao had a premonition that this guy could kill him with one punch.

Zhang Chi sighed: "Tianpeng, you came at the wrong time."

Yan Tianpeng scratched his head: "Haha, I came to find Lu Qiqi, you guys carry on, carry on!"

He seemed quite embarrassed.

With his interruption, the conflict on the verge of breaking out couldn’t continue.

Upon leaving, Liu Chuandao gave Wu Xiaoqi a sinister look and threatened:

"Just wait for me!"

Once more domineering than he was, Wu Xiaoqi, now subdued by Pang Jiao, retorted sarcastically:

"Enjoy the plus-sized beauty that Class 8 has bestowed upon you!"
