The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng(101-105)

Chapter 101: A Dessert Shop


Jiang Chenchen thought the boy might be asking for Lu Su's contact information like the others, so she averted her gaze, shook her head, and walked past him.


The boy didn't chase after her but stood still, turning his head to stare at her silhouette. Under the dark curtain of his half-long hair, his gaze was gloomy.


Sensing the gaze behind her, Jiang Chenchen felt a bit strange. That person from just now seemed vaguely familiar, but she couldn't place where she might have seen him. Lowering her head, she searched her memory and confirmed that she didn't know him. But why did he feel somewhat recognizable?


Her steps suddenly stopped as a shadow appeared in front of her.


Catching a familiar scent, she joyfully raised her head. The person before her held a black umbrella, shielding his face. His tall figure stood in front of her, and under the grey coat, his legs were long and straight.


Leaves left over from late winter hung on the branches of spring, ready to fall at the slightest breeze.


Sheng Mingsi reached forward, taking a step, and lifted the umbrella, blocking the falling leaves for her.


Jiang Chenchen found herself enclosed under his black umbrella, surrounded by his familiar cool aura. She looked up at him, and his deep black eyes seemed to carry an irresistible allure, pulling her into their depths.


For a moment, she was mesmerized.


Her breath slowed, and her heart raced, feeling an unusual flutter in her chest.


"Staring blankly at me?" Sheng Mingsi observed her expression, his gaze slightly softening, revealing a faint smile that quickly disappeared.


Jiang Chenchen snapped out of her daze, not understanding what had just happened.


She didn't think too much about it. Just seeing him made her happy.


"Brother Ah si, did you ask me out for lunch at noon?"


"Follow me."


Sheng Mingsi didn't give a clear answer, only instructing her to follow his steps.


He continued holding the umbrella, slowing down his pace. Jiang Chenchen walked beside him, significantly shorter, wearing the high school uniform, and moving lightly.


Walking under an umbrella together like this felt novel to her.


She couldn't help but glance at him.


Even though it had only been two days since they last met, why did his features seem even more profound?


The spring sunlight came in from the side of the black umbrella, casting a dazzling light on his smooth jawline and slender neck. It seemed like he had noticed the stolen glances, but he pretended not to.


They quickly reached their destination, turning into an alley. In front of them stood a shop.


The sign seemed to have been recently removed.


Looking through the glass door, Jiang Chenchen could see that it was a dessert shop.


At the moment, Wu Bi, wearing the apron of a bubble tea shop employee, was busy at the counter in the operating area. This tall and strong man appeared completely different, and Jiang Chenchen stood outside the glass door, looking at the people inside, then turning to the person next to her.


"This is..."


Sheng Mingsi, with deep eyes, calmly looked at the people inside and said, "Wu Bi has always wanted to open a dessert shop. So, he took over this store near the school. You can come here for lunch and rest in the future. It will be very quiet here."


Wu Bi:?

He never had this dream!

But since Mr. Sheng said he did, then he did.


So Wu Bi, holding a freshly made cup of juice, reluctantly smiled at them.


Jiang Chenchen made a soft sound, then pushed the door open.


Sheng Mingsi followed closely behind, and the glass door closed. The sign on it had long been taken down.


This would be a dessert shop that doesn't serve customers from the outside.


Though it was called a small shop, it wasn't very small. Besides the sofa tables in the hall, there was a long row of bookshelves against the wall, filled with various books and materials.


There was also a room in the back, a storage room, and a large courtyard. The courtyard was filled with flowers and plants, resembling a romantic small garden.


Sitting in the courtyard, drinking milk tea, and reading a book would be more comfortable.


There is also a room in the back, a storage room, and a large courtyard filled with flowers and plants, creating a romantic atmosphere.


Sitting in the courtyard, drinking milk tea and reading a book, would be even more comfortable.


Jiang Chenchen sat at a table near the front counter, and Wu Bi placed the juice in front of her, continuing to play his role, "Miss Jiang, please enjoy."


Saying this, he turned around and continued working in the improved kitchen.


He was currently frying a high-quality steak.


Jiang Chenchen looked at the juice in her hand, wanting to say something but seeing how busy he was, she decided not to ask.

Sheng Mingsi sat down next to her and asked, "What's wrong?"


"Can't I order milk tea?"


"Don't drink this before your meal. Have some juice; we'll eat in a bit." He gestured with his chin, "Hold the cup and drink. Go to the backyard afterward."


Jiang Chenchen obediently followed his instructions, sipping juice while lifting the curtain to look at the backyard. She found the place charming.


Returning to the front counter, she finished her juice, feeling quite content.


Breaking the ice, she initiated a conversation with Wu Bi.


"You will definitely become an excellent dessert shop owner."


Wu Bi: ? Not necessarily!


He forced a smile and placed a well-cooked steak on the plate, added side dishes and sauce, and handed it over. But it wasn't over yet; there was a small pot of soup simmering on the stove. He served a bowl and, still not finished, took out shrimp dumplings from the steamer, serving them as the final main course.


Jiang Chenchen hadn't expected this dessert shop to offer so much food.


Sheng Mingsi, sitting nearby, said, "You can come here to eat in the future. Wu Bi welcomes you. His dream is not just to be a pastry chef."


Wu Bi: "..."


Jiang Chenchen nodded, "Mr. Sheng, you should also try some. Wu Bi's cooking is quite good."


Sheng Mingsi, with a slightly furrowed brow, said, "Just call him Xiao Wu; no need for the 'brother.'"


"Oh, Xiao Wu's cooking is excellent. Won't you try some?"


Xiao Wu at the moment: "..."


Sheng Mingsi remained solemn and cold, saying to her, "I've already eaten. You enjoy; these are all made for you. After eating, you can rest and read books. There are books over there."


Although he didn't intend to intervene, when he heard that she was being bullied at school, he couldn't help himself. The so-called school bully turned out to be Zhao Shitian's cousin. Sheng Mingsi made a call, urging Zhao Shitian to manage his cousin properly, or he would teach her a lesson.


As for taking over this shop near the school, he wanted to provide her with a quieter and more comfortable environment.


Since he had already intervened, he might as well ensure everything was in order.


Jiang Chenchen didn't know how much thought he had put into this. She only knew this place was good, and she guessed the food wouldn't be cheap.


After finishing her meal, she quickly took out her phone to scan the QR code.


"How much is it?"


Wu Bi: Can you even charge for this?

Sheng Mingsi, with a cold gaze, looked over and knocked on the table. "How much?"


His stern emphasis made Wu Bi break into a cold sweat, afraid of giving the wrong answer.


"Um, today's opening is free for trial. Are you satisfied with today's dishes? If so, please give us a 5-star review!"


Jiang Chenchen nodded, "Very satisfied."


"Also, here are some coupons. You can use them for your next visit." Wu Bi quickly grabbed a handful of coupons from a drawer and handed them to her.


Jiang Chenchen looked at the coupons in front of her, feeling a bit stunned. "So, I can come here anytime in the future?"

Chapter 102: Defeated by a Ladybug

Wu Bi wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Of course!"



Otherwise, this shop would have no reason to exist.



He, Wu Bi, the owner today, existed solely because of Jiang Chenchen's visit.



Although Jiang Chenchen felt that something was off, she didn't think much about it and nodded at him. "Thanks for the hospitality."



Wu Bi glanced at Sheng Shao on the side and breathed a sigh of relief, finally making it through.



Sheng Mingsi's expression tightened slightly as he stood up and said to Jiang Chenchen, "After eating, you can take a rest and read a bit."



Seeing this, Jiang Chenchen quickly stood up too. "Are you leaving?"



He did have to leave because of some business, but as he looked at her straightforward gaze, he hesitated for a moment. He paused, held his phone in his pocket, furrowed his brows in silence.



Suddenly, he looked at her. "I'm not leaving."



A glint flashed in Jiang Chenchen's eyes. "Then, how about going to the backyard to bask in the sun?"



She took his arm, closing the distance between them. She raised her eyes, seeking his opinion.



At such a close distance, Sheng Mingsi lowered his head, looking at her fair face, delicate features, and the corner of her lips... he reached out.



Jiang Chenchen looked at his hand reaching out. The long fingers, the cool touch on the corner of her lips—it felt cool. She extended her hand a bit hesitantly.



"What's wrong?"



When their hands touched, the warmth met the coolness... just a momentary, electrifying sensation.



Sheng Mingsi coughed and immediately withdrew his hand, taking a couple of steps back, creating some distance. He covered his emotions, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped his fingertips.



At this moment, his expression appeared ordinary.



Coldly and loftily, he said, "It's sauce."



"Oh."



Jiang Chenchen said a thank you.



Watching everything unfold, Wu Bi, who was cleaning up the plates, tilted his head. What kind of pure reaction was that from Sheng Mingsi?



A cold gaze swept over, and Wu Bi felt uneasy. He quickly retracted his gaze, bowed his head, and focused on his work. Better not think about anything else; after all, his life was more important.



Jiang Chenchen held a book and sat in the shade of the yard, while Sheng Mingsi, by the French window inside, used his computer to deal with company matters.



Even though both were busy and hadn't spoken, every time they raised their heads, they could see each other. The courtyard, filled with the spring sunlight, became even more quiet and harmonious.



As the time was almost up, Jiang Chenchen's phone alarm hadn't rung yet. However, Sheng Mingsi knocked on the French window, silently reminding her.



Jiang Chenchen dismissed the alarm on her phone, stood up, and walked toward him. Almost subconsciously, she walked outside the French window, standing in front of Sheng Mingsi.



They were so close, looking at the glass.



Their breaths seemed to collide even through the glass.



The intense gaze that made it difficult to look directly at grew even more blatant.



As if affected by the scorching gaze, Sheng Mingsi lowered his eyes, concealing the deep, dark eyes. He had one hand on the glass, the other gripping the table tightly.



Jiang Chenchen reached out and touched his hand through the glass. Unconsciously, she approached him.



Just a piece of glass separated the two.



That breath seemed to penetrate the glass.



The sensation quickly disappeared.



Because Jiang Chenchen held up a ladybug in her hand, showing it to him.



Curious and light-hearted, she asked, "Brother Ah si, what kind of bug is this in your hand?"



Sheng Mingsi looked over, his eye twitching slightly. His handsome face almost collapsed, everything just an illusion, defeated by a ladybug.



The regal and aloof man concealed his emotions, poking the glass with his finger, making a crisp sound.



"Ladybug. Throw it away."



Jiang Chenchen thought the ladybug had beautiful colors but saw Sheng Mingsi's expression, thinking it might be a bad bug. So, obediently, she threw it away, and the ladybug quickly flew away.



"Class time is almost here. You should go."



Sheng Mingsi had closed his computer and stood up, reminding her once again.



This time, Jiang Chenchen couldn't delay any longer. She nodded at him. "Brother Ah si, then I'll go."




As she walked into the house and headed for the front hall, she suddenly turned back. "Brother Ah si, are you coming tomorrow at noon?"



Sheng Mingsi's hand paused, lifting his eyes to look at her. "We'll see."



"Oh."



Jiang Chenchen didn't show much emotion. It seemed like a habitual question for her, and she didn't care about the answer as long as she asked.



She opened the curtain and went outside. She nodded towards the person tapping loudly on the computer at the front desk, "Leaving."



Seeing this, Wu Bi raised his head and then quickly lowered it again. Soon after, he raised his head again. "Wait!"



He gathered all the coupons on the counter and handed them to her.



"One coupon per day at noon, for your personal use only. Remember?"



Jiang Chenchen held the coupons, looking at him. "Aren't you running the shop to make money?"



"You're a friend. I'll let you taste the new products I make every day. It's like inviting you as a critic. Mutual benefits, you know!" Wu Bi said more skillfully.



Jiang Chenchen accepted the coupons and scanned the decorative payment code on the cash register with her phone. "The food was delicious today."



She paid, approximately ten times the price of the cafeteria.



"But did you receive it?" Wu Bi tried to stop her from paying but failed. He quickly connected his phone, opened it to check, and saw the payment received.



Now what? How could he accept the money?



Jiang Chenchen, in a hurry, just mentioned, "Why didn't your phone ring?"



Wu Bi, confused. "Ring for what?" He didn't understand.



Jiang Chenchen learned a phrase and couldn't help but say, then really couldn't delay any longer, so she turned and left.



Wu Bi: ...She's quite good at mimicking, the emotionless and mechanical tone is quite matching with her.



Sheng Mingsi came out and witnessed this scene. He said coldly, "Enable this permission on your phone."



Wu Bi: Young Master Sheng, please spare me!



The sound of "xx received" rang from his phone. This... ah!



...



Jiang Chenchen hurried back to school, afraid of encountering those classmates who were looking for Lu Su's contact information again. Fortunately, everything went smoothly this time, and she didn't encounter anyone blocking her.



Before returning to the classroom, she went to the restroom. There were people waiting outside the restroom, and when they saw her, they looked at each other and left.



Jiang Chenchen glanced at them without much thought. She entered the restroom, and there was water outside one of the stalls, with a mop blocking the door, as if it were a prank.



She didn't know what was going on but heard a faint cry. She walked over, removed the mop, and gently pushed the door.



Inside was a girl soaked from head to toe, crouching in the corner, her pale face trembling.



When the girl saw someone opening the door and saw her appearance, her expression suddenly changed. She lowered her head, suddenly stood up, pushed her way out of the door, and rushed out.

Chapter 103: The Classmate is the School Beauty

Jiang Chenchen wasn't entirely sure what had happened, but it seemed like she had been bullied.



Locked in the restroom and mistreated.



The classmate who did this had already rushed out and disappeared.



Was it those people who were waiting outside the restroom? Did she go looking for trouble with them?



Jiang Chenchen thought about it but didn't dwell on it too much. She washed her hands, and as she came out, a female classmate exited one of the stalls. It seemed like she hadn't expected anyone outside, got startled, and quickly left without washing her hands.



She looked at Jiang Chenchen as if she were some terrifying person.



Confused by the recent events, Jiang Chenchen didn't invest much thought into people who weren't relevant to her. Leaving the restroom, she returned to the classroom.



In the afternoon, Gu Suqiao didn't show up, and classmates actively greeted Jiang Chenchen.



They were curious about how she managed to win over Sister Jiao and what happened with the variety show. Various questions and curiosity surrounded her.



Although the school had its share of celebrities, they couldn't compare to the recent top star, Lu Su.



Many female students in the school were Lu Su's fans, and some were overly passionate. The incident at lunchtime involving Jiang Chenchen being surrounded didn't occur in the afternoon.



However, her classmates were quite curious, especially those sitting in front and behind her, who were the most gossip-prone.



"It seems someone saw the school beauty from Class 7 being bullied. Her hair was soaked, and it was miserable. Was it Sister Jiao who ordered someone to do it!?"



"Sister Jiao still hasn't come until now; maybe it was her. After all, no one dares to mess with the school beauty except Sister Jiao."



"I heard the school beauty's boyfriend is from outside the school, the former school bully. Not the kind that relies on his status but someone with real black-belt skills, invisible when making a move."



"So, are we in for a good show?"



The conversation continued among them. Their voices weren't too loud but still reached the ears of the entire class.



It only quieted down when the class teacher came in.



Test time!



Various tests during the final push of the senior year.



Despite their gossiping, everyone remained quite focused on this matter. The gossip was put aside during the approach of the test.



Jiang Chenchen felt her surroundings finally quieting down. She took the test paper and started working on it.



She remembered the knowledge points for Chinese. As long as she took the time to review what she had learned, she wouldn't forget. However, she found comprehension-type questions, like reading comprehension, a bit challenging.



It was like understanding people and their words; she would always be a bit slow in comprehending.



The bell for the end of class rang, and she handed in her paper.



Jiang Chenchen stretched her wrist, ready to continue reading. Classmates started leaving and entering the room. A piece of gossip soon arrived.



"Did you hear? The school beauty skipped class and climbed over the wall, caught on the spot by the headteacher. Now she's being punished, standing in the playground!"



"The old frog is quite biased in dealing with skipping class."



Everyone understood who they were talking about, referring to Gu Suqiao.



"Seeing the school beauty in such a miserable state, it's the first time for me. Let's go see."



"Damn, you guys are heartless. Don't you know how to pity and cherish a jade?"



"If you cherish it, you go replace her in the punishment; I fully support you!"



"Cut it out!"



Amidst laughter and noise, a boy in the corner clenched his fists.



The bell for the end of the afternoon quickly came, and everyone, tired after a whole afternoon of tests, rushed to the cafeteria.



Jiang Chenchen also went to the cafeteria. A helpful male student tried to swipe his card for her.



Jiang Chenchen: "No need."



The male classmate had a handsome and generous smile, saying, "We're classmates; don't be polite. It's the least I can do."



After all, swiping the card for a beauty was a way to gain favor.



Seeing that he had already swiped the card, Jiang Chenchen glanced at the person behind her and swiped the card for them as well.



A junior sister: "Wuwuwu, Senior Sister is so beautiful! So elegant! She even helped swipe the meal card, so I'll help the person behind me too."



Then, people in this line continued to help the person behind them swipe the card.



The male student who helped Jiang Chenchen swipe the card: ?



Jiang Chenchen carried her tray and found a seat. Passing by a table, a male student extended his foot as if trying to trip her.



The expression in his eyes conveyed a sense of frivolity and playfulness.



Jiang Chenchen's gaze remained indifferent, and she directly stepped on his foot.



"Ah!"



The male student let out a miserable cry. The playful and frivolous expression on his face vanished, replaced by a look of pain.



The noise caught the attention of others in the cafeteria, and they looked over.



They saw a foot sticking out abruptly, being firmly stepped on by the slender foot of the beautiful girl.



People found it quite amusing. It was clear that it was intentional, and yet, others willingly subjected themselves to being stepped on.



Purely deserved it.



However, it seemed like Jiang Chenchen didn't use much force. The girl was delicate, and the guy screamed as if it were too much.



Jiang Chenchen didn't intend it that way; it was just a subconscious reaction.



She gave a quick glance to the guy whose face turned liver-colored and then lifted her foot, proceeding to her seat with the tray.



The male student's foot couldn't be retracted for a while.



He turned around to look back, unable to believe that the girl with such a cold and indifferent temperament could be so ruthless.



No wonder Ko Xiaochuan lost to her! There was a reason behind it!



Recalling the bet he made with his classmates, he found it laughable!



So, facing those who might come to mock him, he didn't pay any attention. Only after his foot stopped hurting did he pick up his tray and escape from the cafeteria.



All of this was witnessed by a boy with half-long hair covering his eyes.



He withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and started eating. Under the veil of his hair, his eyes emitted a cold and resentful light.



"Zhao Han, how did you do in this test? Do you have a chance to surpass Class 11 and become the first?" A classmate eating nearby asked.



Zhao Han, the male student who was addressed, restrained his expression.



"It's possible."



Hearing this, the nearby classmates gasped, "Damn, worthy of you!"



Zhao Han from Class 1 and Bai Junwen from Class 11 had been evenly matched, and neither had come out as the clear winner in their frequent clashes.



The most anticipated thing for the senior year was who would ultimately become the top student.



Could Zhao Han win this time?!



Several classmates at the same table were talking to him, but his mind was elsewhere.



...



Jiang Chenchen finished her meal and returned to the classroom.



There was only one person in the classroom, engrossed in reading with his head down.



She walked to her seat, sat down, took out a book from the desk, and when she flipped it open, a note fell out from between the pages.

Chapter 104: Beware of the Note Writer

The note contained a single line.



"You will pay for your sinful actions."



The bolded words were serious and highlighted.



Jiang Chenchen glanced at the note, unsure of what sinful actions she had committed that required payment. She didn't take it too seriously and was about to put the note back between the pages of the book.



However, this action was noticed by some students who entered later. Tong Danyu, as if sensing something keenly, rushed over and peered at the note.



"What's this? Did someone write you a love letter? But this note is too short for that."



"It looks more like a message or a warning. Could it be meant for Jiaojie, but it got placed in your desk?"



"What does it say? Let Jiang Chenchen show us. If it's for Jiaojie, you shouldn't be keeping it."



Jiang Chenchen handed the note to them.



"'You will pay for your sinful actions!'" Zheng Xinxin read aloud, exaggerating her expression. "Ah! It must be the school flower's revenge!"



She exchanged glances with Tong Danyu, and they displayed exaggerated expressions of excitement and fear.



"Why does it sound like a death notice?!"



"Did you see who delivered it?"



Tong Danyu pressed the note onto the desk and looked at Jiang Chenchen. 



Jiang Chenchen shook her head. "No."



Zheng Xinxin looked around and then patted Tong Danyu. "I think I saw Bai Junwen in the classroom when I came in. Maybe she saw who put it in?"



Tong Danyu signaled to Jiang Chenchen with her eyes. "You know her; she's aloof and cold. She won't respond to questions. If you ask her, it'll be in vain."



"True, let's not invite trouble." Zheng Xinxin looked at Bai Junwen, who was studying quietly, and then back at Jiang Chenchen.



"But, it seems like... you two share a dorm, right?"



Because the top student was not sociable, the school only arranged for two people in their dorm. The other person was Jiaojie, who didn't actually stay there, essentially leaving Jiang Chenchen alone.



They speculated, but Jiang Chenchen showed no reaction, absorbed in her reading. The two friends found her weird and left her alone.



During the evening self-study, the warning about the school flower had already spread.



It even evolved into several exaggerated versions, becoming more and more sensational.



Meanwhile, Gu Sujiao was still absent during the evening self-study.



The note had been placed back into the book by Jiang Chenchen.



When self-study ended, Jiang Chenchen left last. Only then did she notice one more person in the classroom, the grade's top student, Bai Junwen.



She seemed to match the description given by the girls—a roommate who rarely showed her face.



The classroom quieted down. Jiang Chenchen took a glance, but didn't linger, walking out of the classroom and descending the stairs back to her dorm.



The other girl followed suit.



Then the two walked, one in front of the other.



The shadows stretched under the campus streetlights. Bai Junwen pushed her glasses and walked behind Jiang Chenchen. She suffered from social anxiety and was afraid of interacting with people. Jiang Chenchen seemed relatively quiet, so she felt a bit more at ease.



Jiang Chenchen was thinking that the note she saw was put into her desk by a guy, not the one they were talking about for the school flower.



That warning on the note was directed at her. Should she tell her?



Bai Junwen hesitated and pondered for a long time until they reached the dormitory.



Jiang Chenchen used her key to open the door, and after a moment of silence, Bai Junwen raised her head. "Do you also live here?"



Jiang Chenchen was surprised for a moment, pushed up her glasses, and nodded, indicating agreement.



Seeing this confirmation, Bai Junwen let out a sigh of relief and walked in after Jiang Chenchen.



Jiang Chenchen got busy with her own tasks—washing up, doing homework, and reading. She was engrossed in her studies.



Bai Junwen relaxed a bit, not receiving any deliberate attention. Although she still didn't dare to interact much, she quickly finished washing up and returned to her bed, drawing the curtain.



Turning on the bedside lamp, she took out an exam paper to work on.



Her phone was on silent, showing an incoming call.



She hesitated for a long time, struggling internally, before finally answering the call.



On the other end, a restrained voice said, "Wenwen, Grandma misses you. I'll pick you up after tomorrow's evening self-study. Don't stay at school."



She remained silent, not knowing how to refuse.



On the other end, there was no opportunity for her to refuse, and the call was abruptly ended.



Afterwards, she couldn't concentrate on the exam paper.



Bai Junwen lay on her bed, staring at each word but unable to focus. Time passed gradually.



The night was already very dark.



Her roommate, seated at the desk across the room, was still studying.



This transfer student seemed genuinely diligent. Bai Junwen observed her several times, and she was consistently engrossed in her studies.



However, Bai Junwen didn't gather the courage to convey the warning she wanted to share.



She turned off the desk lamp, lay down, stared at the canopy, her thoughts in disarray. She couldn't fall asleep, felt the need to use the bathroom, but her roommate surprisingly hadn't gone to sleep yet.



After hesitating for a long time, Bai Junwen decided to go.



She pulled back the curtain and cautiously descended, attempting to lower her presence. However, even with such precautions, her roommate heard a slight movement. She turned around, glanced at Bai Junwen, then exclaimed.



Jiang Chenchen checked her phone and realized it was already very late.



She rubbed her head; the math problem was indeed challenging, and she spent quite a bit of time on it.



When Bai Junwen passed by, she shrank back in fear but accidentally saw the various formulas on Jiang Chenchen's desk paper. It seemed she was working on math problems until late.



She was startled for a moment, almost bumping into the chair back.



"Be careful."



Jiang Chenchen pulled the chair forward a bit and looked back at her. "Did you trip?"



"No..."



Bai Junwen glanced at her and quickly looked away, hurriedly entering the bathroom.



Jiang Chenchen watched her figure and contemplated for a moment. Am I that frightening?



Turn off the lights, go to sleep.



On the bed, she quickly fell asleep.



The next day, Bai Junwen was no longer in the dormitory, and on Jiang Chenchen's desk was the solution to the late-night math problem and a sentence: "Beware of the note writer."



Jiang Chenchen sat down, looked at the solution to the problem, and the train of thought flowed smoothly. No wonder she was the top student in the grade.



As for the content of the note, she didn't pay much attention.



Speculating blindly about who it might be or how it happened would only add to the burden of her studies.



She quickly packed up, left the dorm, and went to class. As she climbed the stairs, she nearly collided with someone coming down, skillfully avoiding them.



However, the person seemed to want to avoid her, moved their feet too quickly, slipped, and lost balance.



It was very dangerous.



The person reached out to grab something to steady themselves, and then they caught the hand that Jiang Chenchen had originally reached out.

Chapter 105: Public Curse

The person held her hand tightly.



Jiang Chenchen instinctively pulled her hand away. However, if she did so abruptly, the person would fall, making it dangerous while descending the stairs.



She tried to control her instinctive reaction and allowed him to steady himself.



She had seen this person once before at the school gate.



Once he was stable, Jiang Chenchen withdrew her hand and walked past him, heading upstairs.



However, Zhao Han made a move, blocking her way. His half-closed eyes flickered, "Thank you for just now."



"Mm."



Jiang Chenchen glanced at him. "Can I pass?"



Her expression and tone were excessively distant and cold.



Almost devoid of any expression, as if she were asking a question about completing a formula.



Zhao Han's eyes dimmed, and he stepped aside, letting her pass.



He had intentionally tested her just now, trying to make her shake him off. Although she seemed to intentionally reject him, she somehow refrained from doing so. Was she about to reveal her true nature?



There was a hint of hatred in his eyes.



However, he quickly went downstairs.



Jiang Chenchen had already dismissed the incident from her mind. In the classroom, the noise erupted again.



Suddenly, Gu Sujiao appeared, hooked her arm around Jiang Chenchen's shoulder from behind, chewing gum, and donned a cool outfit today. "Hey, desk mate."



She smelled very fragrant, and Jiang Chenchen was momentarily captivated by the scent.



Gu Sujiao lowered her head to look at her. "What? Ready to go?"



Jiang Chenchen allowed her to lead her into the classroom, still hooked on her shoulder.



The classmates in the class all wore expressions of anticipation.



Soon enough, Gu Sujiao let go of Jiang Chenchen's shoulder, raised her eyebrows, and cursed.



This was because her desk was piled high with plastic chrysanthemums.



Then, a water bottle displayed a photo, with Gu Sujiao's arrogant face in the center.



Obviously, it was a secretly taken photo converted to black and white.



It was like a public curse, wishing her immediate death!



"Who did this!? Show yourself, damn it!"



Gu Sujiao was so enraged that her pretty face turned green. With one swipe of her hand, she pushed everything off the desk. Filled with frustration, she kicked the desk too. The grand gesture stunned the classmates, who dared not make a sound.



"Who did this? If I find out, I'll break their hands!"



Gu Sujiao grabbed Zheng Xinxin's collar, glaring at her with fury. She angrily demanded, "Speak! Did you see who did it? I'll break their hands!"



Zheng Xinxin was frightened, trembling as she quickly explained, "Jiao Jie, I really don't know who did it. The classroom was like this when I arrived!"



Gu Sujiao gripped her collar even tighter, seemingly on the verge of exploding.



Thinking about yesterday's events, Zheng Xinxin hastily added, "It might be the school flower! She's retaliating against you! She warned you yesterday by leaving a note in your drawer, and today, this happened. It must be her!"



She spoke in one breath, pointing at Jiang Chenchen. "You don't believe me? Ask the new student. She saw the note!"



Gu Sujiao released her grip on Zheng Xinxin and turned to look at Jiang Chenchen, squinting her eyes, demanding, "Is what she said true? Where's the note?"



With her agitated movements, Gu Sujiao's fragrance became even more pronounced.



Facing her gaze, Jiang Chenchen said, "The note was for me."



"What did you say?! Show it to me!"



Her tone brooked no doubt, and she was infuriated and domineering. She had been used to such arrogance, and the recent events had thoroughly enraged her.



Her tone brooked no doubt, accustomed to being arrogant and domineering. The recent events had clearly angered her.



She had completely forgotten her cousin's warning.



But Jiang Chenchen remained unfazed.



Amidst this chaos, she stood in her place, showing no emotion and appearing overly indifferent.



The classmates had never seen someone so calm. This time, Jiao Jie's outbreak was much more terrifying than the last! They dared not make a sound, afraid of being implicated.



In the midst of Gu Sujiao's furious gaze, she met Jiang Chenchen's eyes. The calmness in Jiang Chenchen's almost wooden eyes made the anger surging within her feel like a cool breeze, recalling her cousin's words.



She immediately clenched her fist, the desire to run to Class 7 and settle the score rising. However, someone blocked her way—it was Jiang Chenchen. She extended her hand to push Jiang Chenchen away but ended up resting it on her shoulder.



The fingers tightened.



"Let me through!"



"The warning on this note was for me."



Jiang Chenchen reiterated.



Even though there might be conflicts between the school flowers, it shouldn't be confused.



Clearly, Gu Sujiao couldn't accept this. She glared at Jiang Chenchen fiercely, loosened her grip, turned around, kicked a desk behind her, and stormed out of the classroom.



The classmates erupted, rushing to the door to see what was happening.



Gu Sujiao headed straight for Class 7!



At this time, the self-study bell rang. The students wanted to go see what was happening, but they only lingered at the classroom door.



Jiang Chenchen packed up her textbooks and desk. When she sat down, she noticed subtle gazes seemingly directed towards her. She quickly looked over and found a male student in the front row suspiciously glancing in her direction. When he saw her looking, he awkwardly turned his head away.



This action made Jiang Chenchen ponder. Could this person be the one who delivered the note? Or is it related to her desk mate?



The bell had already rung, and she shouldn't be wasting her thoughts on these matters.



However, the noisy commotion in the classroom and outside was enough to affect everyone's mood.



Even this self-study class couldn't be conducted, and the teacher was stuck outside.



Gu Sujiao, full of rage, pulled the school flower from Class 7 out of the classroom, pressed her against the wall, slapped her, and then interrogated her.



Students from several classes poured out, witnessing this unexpected turn of events!



It was too noisy.



Gu Sujiao's voice was loud and furious, drowning out the school flower's voice.



Everyone was watching the excitement, except for three people.



Jiang Chenchen, the top student Bai Junwen, and the suspicious male student from earlier.



He sat there motionless, but his fist was tightly clenched.



Jiang Chenchen didn't want to let this class go to waste. She stood up and walked toward the male student. Meeting his eyes, she questioned, "Was it you?"



The male student looked shocked and, in a panic, averted his gaze. "I don't know what you're talking about!"



"Was it you who did this to the desk?"



After the initial shock, the male student became somewhat indignant. "What nonsense are you talking about?!"



He clenched his fist and glared back at her.



Jiang Chenchen met his gaze, her face expressionless. Then, she firmly grabbed his wrist.



The male student was incredulous. The new student had such strength, and his tightly clenched fist seemed to uncontrollably loosen?!



Jiang Chenchen lowered her head to look at his fingers.



His fingers were thick, and there was paint from the plastic flower petals on his fingertips. He must be the one who arranged everything on the desk.



The male student tried to break free from her grip but found her hold surprisingly tight. She then forcefully pulled him up from his seat and walked towards the door!
