The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng(96-100)

He found that he was actually the one least able to accept it, but to let her go to study, to experience more of the world, there had to be such a day.
He could still be her brother or a sponsor for a poor student. Just that, nothing more.
He should have realized this long ago.
Hiding all the thoughts in his heart, he nodded at her, displaying his usual cold demeanor. "If you can't adapt to living in the school by then, just come back."
"Also, take care of yourself at school."
If he showed a softer side, Jiang Chenchen was afraid she might not resist the urge to change her mind.
But he acted as usual, not showing any reluctance.
Jiang Chenchen felt she could only move forward.
On the day before school started, Xia Changli and Wu Bi accompanied her to the school. She was a transfer student, and the arranged dormitory was for only two people, so with her, it became three.
Sheng Mingsi originally wanted to inform the school and arrange a separate dormitory, but thinking that she needed to learn to adapt and he shouldn't interfere too much, he decided against it.
Qingli Private High School was originally a prestigious school, with few students staying in the dorms, and the living conditions were not bad.
Xia Changli held her hand and said, "Study well. If anything happens, give me a call."
She was somewhat worried about Jiang Chenchen's life at school, fearing that she might not get along with others. Fortunately, it was only for a semester, and everyone was busy with preparations, so there shouldn't be any major issues.
Jiang Chenchen stayed in the dormitory that night. One of her two roommates had been hiding behind the curtain all the time, not showing her face. The other one hadn't returned to the dormitory, and there was no sign of her.
The next day, when she went to the classroom to register, Jiang Chenchen didn't see her two roommates.
The class teacher of Class 11, led Jiang Chenchen into the classroom. Students who were either studying or playing looked up.
Then there were exclamations.
"Damn, so damn beautiful!"
The boys' voices were really loud.
The class teacher, Ding Shouchun, a middle-aged man with a bald head and glasses, shouted and knocked on the podium, saying, "Quiet!"
It took two or three times to make the classroom quiet.
"Classmate, come here and introduce yourself." Ding Shouchun waved enthusiastically to Jiang Chenchen.
So, Jiang Chenchen walked to the podium and said, "My name is Jiang Chenchen."
Perhaps because she didn't show much expression and her tone didn't fluctuate much, some mischievous male classmates teased, "Is that all?"
"What Jiang? What Chen?"
"Yeah, classmate, don't be so stingy with your words!"
Ding Shouchun knocked on the podium again, signaling everyone to be quiet. Although the students didn't listen to him much, the classroom gradually quieted down. Ding Shouchun then said to Jiang Chenchen, "Jiang classmate, write your name on the blackboard for everyone to see."
Jiang Chenchen wrote her name on the blackboard, and then the class teacher asked her to find a seat.
There was only one empty seat in this classroom.
Inside, there was an empty seat in the second-to-last row near the window. So, Jiang Chenchen walked towards that direction. In almost everyone's gaze, she stopped at the place.
Then the noisy classroom suddenly became exceptionally quiet.
Everyone's eyes were on that spot, including the class teacher standing on the podium.
For Jiang Chenchen to reach the empty seat, she had to step over the student sitting outside. The student was leaning her head and sleeping, not moving at all.
She could only see the back of this student's head, with black short hair tied into a small ponytail, and many colorful cards beside it.
It was a girl.
She reached out and knocked on the desk.
"Excuse me, can you please move?"
Jiang Chenchen's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear.
The classmates in the class held their breath.
The new student actually knocked on the desk of the school bully, Gu Sujiao!
No one had dared to disturb her sleep before, including teachers. Anyone who did something like this would be immediately marked for punishment after class.
And Jiang Chenchen, all her actions, weren't even noted by the head teacher. It seemed like she bypassed any punishment!
The new student didn't know this, and this time, she was in trouble.
Gu Sujiao turned her head, looking drowsy, with a small braid on the side that was slightly raised.
Gu Sujiao turned her head, still drowsy, with a small braid on the side slightly raised.
Monolid eyes, with a bit of arrogance in her gaze. When she saw a girl she didn't recognize knocking on her desk, her eyebrows quickly furrowed.
"Who are you?"
Impatience was evident in her tone when woken up.
Jiang Chenchen faced her gaze, "It's on the blackboard."
Gu Sujiao, seeing her expressionless yet direct gaze, let her eyes shift over her face, then looked at the chalk writing on the blackboard.
Written meticulously, neat like an elementary school student's handwriting.
"Jiang Chenchen."
Gu Sujiao's body moved slightly, but she didn't show any intention of giving way. Instead, she propped her chin lazily on her hand, looking at Jiang Chenchen, "New student, do you know the rules here?"
"I don't know."
"After class, take a trip to the small grove near the basketball court."
"Okay."
The other students exclaimed. This new student seemed pitiful for not knowing.
There weren't many who dared to jump into the pit they dug themselves!
However, Gu Sujiao made some room and let the new student sit down.
This was the first girl sitting next to her! Another not insignificant wave.
The class teacher sighed in relief. That was good; at least, she didn't directly cause trouble in the classroom.
A girl sitting in front of Gu Sujiao was amazed, "Jiao sister, didn't you dislike having a desk mate?"
Gu Sujiao glanced at the desk mate next to her, who was busy with her books, and indifferently said, "But she looks good."
"......?"
Just that? Those who didn't know might have believed it, but after class, they would still be beaten as usual.
The class teacher wiped his sweat and loudly said, "Class is starting, class is starting!"
This was a headache-inducing class, gathering the most difficult students in the aristocratic school. There were only forty students in the class, not a lot according to the ratio of the third year of high school.
But each one was very unique and not to be provoked.
The class's academic performance was not bad, ranking third in the grade.
The class's top student was also in this class, and the school bully was also here. Each identity was not so simple.
As long as the class could remain calm during class, teachers couldn't care too much.
Gu Sujiao continued to lie down and sleep, and other students also quieted down to study seriously.
Jiang Chenchen was also diligently taking notes.
A class quickly ended.
The class teacher hadn't left yet, but the classroom became noisy.
Everyone's eyes were on Jiang Chenchen. Was the drama about to begin?!
Gu Sujiao finally seemed to wake up, rubbing her face and turning to Jiang Chenchen, "Desk mate, can we leave now?"
"Wait a moment."
Jiang Chenchen was still taking notes. Although she had been catching up for a few months, she was different from the classmates who had been promoted all along, and she still found it challenging.
Gu Sujiao snatched her notebook with a smile, "What did you say? You made me wait for you?"
Chapter 97: Why Didn't You Cry?
Then she threw her notebook out of the window!
No, it didn't go out; Jiang Chenchen intercepted it with a swift hand.
The speed was astonishing, and many people were only momentarily stunned. The situation became more tense!
Because the new student continued to open her notebook and take notes, completely ignoring Gu Sujiao!
This was simply the greatest contempt!
Could someone like Gu Sujiao endure this!?
She reached out, grabbed Jiang Chenchen's chin, turned her to face her, and smiled maliciously, "What, do you love studying so much!"
As she spoke, she casually picked up a few pens from the desk, opened Jiang Chenchen's mouth, and stuffed the pens inside!
The casual malice in her actions, coupled with the irresistible gaze, was quite sinister.
Jiang Chenchen faced her with a blank and stunned expression, a hint of hostility flashing in her dull eyes. Her hands continued to write the last word, finally putting down the pen, avoiding the grip on her cheeks.
Avoiding that forced harmful action.
At the same time, she reached out and grabbed Gu Sujiao's wrist, skillfully twisting it backward.
Gu Sujiao's hand, which was full of pens, became uncontrollably loose, followed by her slightly suspicious gaze.
Pens scattered and fell to the ground.
"Classmate, let's go to the small grove now."
Jiang Chenchen released her hand and said calmly.
This statement shocked the classmates. This was actively provoking and challenging. Just now, she managed to withdraw completely unscathed from Gu Sujiao. Did she have the capital to be arrogant, or did she not know the meaning of the word "death"?
At this moment, the onlookers held their breath, waiting to see Gu Sujiao's reaction.
Could Sister Jiao endure this?!
Gu Sujiao, holding her painful wrist, scanned Jiang Chenchen's face several times. Instead of erupting immediately, she suppressed her frowning, "Sure, let's go."
She didn't take action in the classroom; it seemed she maintained her usual style.
The classmates watched them leave the classroom one after another. They hurried to the door and even went to the corridor to observe. However, the small grove near the basketball court was off-limits, so they didn't go there.
The bell for class rang.
Jiang Chenchen entered the classroom with the ringing of the bell.
The classmates looked left and right, seeing that she showed no signs of injury at all. What was going on?
Didn't Sister Jiao beat her?!
Today's Sister Jiao didn't seem to be a person who suddenly turned kind-hearted.
Could she have hit some areas that didn't show visible injuries?
Jiang Chenchen, still expressionless under numerous gazes, walked to her seat and sat down. A boy from the back row bent down and asked curiously, "Why didn't you cry?"
"Does Sister Jiao still have compassion?"
The boy's words elicited laughter from everyone.
"How is that possible! Sister Jiao likes men, and you all know it!"
"Hey, it's just a joke, but this new student doesn't have any external injuries! Look—"
The boy from the back row, with sharp eyes, suddenly saw blood on Jiang Chenchen's school uniform collar and shouted, "Look! There's blood here!"
Sparse bloodstains were visible on the white collar.
The classmates gasped.
"I told you Sister Jiao isn't someone with a soft touch!"
"Oh, too harsh, did she lose a few teeth?"
"But her face doesn't look like she's been beaten?"
Some students even came closer to see.
"Could it be... she was done with pliers directly?"
"Wow, so perverse!"
"You shut up; sister Jiao might smash your teeth!"
Classmates chattered away, but the new student showed no reaction.
Someone said, "Did she become stupid from being bullied?"
"Even if she didn't cry, she's considered strong! If it were you, you'd definitely wet your pants!"
"Get lost! Who would wet their pants!"
"By the way, why hasn't sister Jiao come? Mr. Tu is about to come into the classroom!"
"Sister Jiao might have gone to put away the tools."
Mr. Tu entered the classroom, and gradually, it quieted down.
Seeing the new student paying attention, he called her to stand up and answer questions. The classmates' eyes were all focused on her.
When she opened her mouth, did it seem like she was missing a row of teeth.
Jiang Chenchen stood up, feeling a bit nervous, although no signs were visible on the surface.
It was as if she had returned to elementary school, resembling the way she stood up to answer the teacher's question for the first time.
She answered earnestly, spoke English fluently, and Mr. Tu nodded approvingly.
"Correct, please have a seat."
Jiang Chenchen sat down, feeling somewhat uplifted.
Ignoring some headache-inducing matters.
Were these classmates more talkative than the first-grade students she remembered from elementary school?
The classmates were in an uproar.
Whispers circulated privately.
"Why didn't the new student lose any teeth!?"
"Each tooth is neatly arranged. Where did the blood on the collar come from?"
"Nosebleed?"
"Her nose is high and delicate, without any signs of impact!"
"Where exactly is the problem?!"
A girl from the front row stared at her for a long time, carefully confirming that there were no traces of injury on her face.
Unable to contain herself, she approached, "Tell me, where did the blood on your collar come from?"
The classroom activity prompted Mr. Tu to knock on the table as a warning.
The girl from the front row glared fiercely at her and turned away.
During the class, numerous speculations arose.
Things became more and more absurd, and everything was speculated to be related to the new student.
No one dared to question Gu Sujiao, the school's top girl.
After class, Tong Danyu, the girl from the front row, couldn't get Jiang Chenchen to answer the questions she wanted to know.
On the contrary, her desk mate Zheng Xinxin proactively lent her a notebook, explained a math problem, and coaxed her into providing an answer.
Zheng Xinxin widened her eyes, "Are you saying this blood on the collar is nosebleed? Whose nosebleed?"
Jiang Chenchen didn't answer directly but used a pen to tap on the nearby desk.
Continuing to immerse herself in the math problem.
The onlooking students were shocked!
She said it was from someone nearby, and who was nearby? Sister Jiao!
"You're finished!! New student!"
Everyone spontaneously exclaimed.
Not only did she challenge the authority of the school's top girl, but she also made her nose bleed!
If she didn't have some skills, could she act so domineeringly for almost three years!!
Everyone was no longer interested in this matter. They returned to their seats, doing whatever they needed to do, making sure not to get involved.
Jiang Chenchen didn't care about what they said. In that small grove, it was the other student who initiated the attack, and she instinctively resisted. When she realized, she had already stopped.
She helped her deal with the nosebleed; after all, Ming Si had taught her how to handle it.
However, the girl threw away the tissue stuffed in her nose, glared at her fiercely, and said, "Just wait." Then she put on a black mask and hurriedly walked away.
Gu Sujiao didn't show up for the entire day.
Jiang Chenchen spent her time either in the classroom or in the cafeteria, attracting many curious glances in the cafeteria.
She ignored them until the end of the evening self-study. On her way back to the dormitory, she was surrounded by a group of boys.
Chapter 98: No Fighting!
Seven or eight tall and imposing boys blocked the path in the dark campus, presenting a somewhat intimidating spectacle.
Jiang Chenchen had to stop in her tracks and look at these individuals.
She remained silent, just observing them.
Several of them glanced at the photos on their phones, then raised their eyes to look at the person in front of them. They squinted and furrowed their brows. Damn, what kind of beauty filter did they use on the phone?!
Clearly, she was an elegant beauty, but in the photo, she looked like an inflatable internet celebrity. The guy holding the phone knocked on the head of the person next to him.
"Why the hell did you turn up the beauty filter so much?!"
The guy at the front, the tallest among them, was also the heaviest-handed. The guy next to him pleaded while covering his head, "Brother Xiao Chuan, the phone has a default setting..."
"Bullshit! Adjust your face to be square at least. Why do men care about these things?!"
Ke Xiao Chuan pointed at him with his fingers, expressing disdain, then looked at Jiang Chenchen with a smile. "You almost made me accidentally hurt a beauty!"
"Are you the new student in Class 11 of Senior 3?"
They had heard about it. This new student had apparently made the campus queen, Gu Sujiao, bleed, and Ke Xiao Chuan was the first pursuer of Gu Sujiao. Upon hearing that the goddess had been beaten, he rushed over to avenge her!
Thinking that an opportunity to showcase his strength had finally arrived, he looked at Jiang Chenchen with a smile, but what was this?
The photo they saw and the person in front of them didn't match. Could this cold and indifferent beauty really be the one who beat the campus violence queen, Gu Sujiao?
They didn't believe it.
It must be those troublemakers spreading rumors again.
Their attitudes changed instantly, which made Jiang Chenchen feel slightly strange, but she didn't pay too much attention. She intended to go around them through an empty space on the other side.
However, they blocked her again.
"Hey! Why aren't you saying anything?!"
Jiang Chenchen's steps came to a halt again. "What's the matter?"
Ke Xiao Chuan raised an eyebrow, asking tentatively, "Did you beat Jiao Jiao and make her bleed?"
"Who?"
"Jiao Jiao, Gu Sujiao! Your desk mate!"
Jiang Chenchen looked at them. It seemed she had really provoked a formidable girl today, as all this talk was about her.
These people were also among them.
She honestly said, "I helped her stop the bleeding."
The more casually she said it, the more arrogant it sounded!
The several big guys gasped, and this was actually true?!
Gu Sujiao not only had a powerful family background but also possessed formidable martial arts skills. She could beat up guys according to her liking. Now, this seemingly indifferent girl had actually beaten Gu Sujiao!
Amidst their shock, Ke Xiao Chuan, who was quite reluctant, approached and said, "So, there has to be an explanation for this today."
"Duct tape?" Jiang Chenchen's mind was filled with the knowledge from today's lessons. Hearing this, she instinctively asked, "How many rolls do you need?"
Several people: ?
Is this mockery!?
Ke Xiao Chuan's handsome face twisted, and he gritted his teeth to maintain his composure. "I can refrain from using force since I never hit women. But you must apologize to Jiao Jiao! In front of all the classmates. Otherwise, don't blame me for using force against a woman!"
"I've already apologized to her."
Jiang Chenchen glanced at the time on her phone. She really didn't want to argue with them here.
It was a waste of time.
"Then give it a try."
"Try what?"
"Will you let me go if we fight?"
"!!"
The guy next to Ke Xiao Chuan whispered, "Brother Chuan, this girl is tough!"
"There's no way to step down from this. If we lose the fight, won't it be a huge loss?! Also, the school doesn't allow fighting."
Ke Xiao Chuan frowned, struggling with his expression. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I thought I could show off a bit, but I've encountered a tough one!"
Jiang Chenchen also didn't know what they were up to. If they said they wouldn't fight, why bother blocking her?
At this moment, her phone vibrated.
She glanced at her phone, and her expression changed slightly. It was a series of numbers.
Ignoring the people behind her, she quickly answered the call.
"Brother Ah si..."
The people behind her: ?
This girl changes her tone quite quickly?
On the other end of the call, Sheng Mingsi fell silent for a moment. It had only been two days, but the house felt empty.
He used to like the emptiness, but with time, he had strangely become unaccustomed to it.
Keeping a composed tone, he asked coldly, "How was your first day of school? Are you adapting?"
Jiang Chenchen softly replied, "It's good."
The feeling of going to school seemed like a world away, and facing life and study again made her feel fresh and happy. This was all thanks to Sheng Mingsi's support, allowing her to face life and study once more.
"Brother Ah si, today I learned..."
She went on telling him about what she had learned, and he listened in silence.
Just hearing her voice was good enough.
Sheng Mingsi leaned against the sofa in his room, closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, tired yet gratified.
However, in the phone, he heard other voices, loud and angry.
Ke Xiao Chuan and the others felt ignored, losing face. They chatted away with her brother about some boring daily study routines. Did they really not take them seriously?!
"What do you mean? If you want to fight, let's go outside, right now!"
Jiang Chenchen's conversation with Sheng Mingsi was interrupted. Her eyes flashed with a hint of hostility. A guy reached out to pat her shoulder, but she grabbed his hand, turned around, and kicked out with her leg.
"Chen Chen, who are these people? Don't fight!"
Sheng Mingsi's cold and stern voice came through the phone, causing Jiang Chenchen to halt her raised foot just before it hit the guy's chest.
The guy's heart pounded hard. He hadn't reacted in time, and if she hadn't pulled her leg back, he would have been kicked to the ground!
He quickly stepped back, covering his chest. The sensation of that kick passing by him made his heart race. It was the same feeling as when he had been kicked by the former campus king!
The former king had been expelled, but the feeling of panic still lingered!
He hurriedly covered his chest and retreated to a safe place.
Ke Xiao Chuan mercilessly scolded him, "Useless!"
He took a step forward, feeling that if he didn't engage in a fight today, he might not be able to mix in tomorrow.
"Do you want to fight right here?!"
Jiang Chenchen ignored him, put her leg down, lowered her head, and said to her phone, "They're blocking me and not letting me return to the dormitory."
Her tone sounded somewhat helpless. The guys who blocked her from returning to the dorm: ?
Wasn't she the one who just kicked out a moment ago?
Can this girl change faces?
Ke Xiao Chuan, unable to bear it any longer, came forward to snatch her phone. Just when Jiang Chenchen heard the words "Don't be afraid," the phone was snatched away!
Holding her phone, Jiang Chenchen's eyes darkened. She put the phone in her pocket, twisted the guy's arm in her hand, and heard a crisp sound. Then came a miserable scream!
Those returning to the dormitory saw a group of people gathered here, so they went around the other way.
Hearing the screams, someone quickly reported to the school's security guard!
Chapter 99: The New Student's Background
The school's security uncle had seen his fair share of fights, but witnessing a girl dislocate a guy's arm was a first!
With the guy's arm hanging limp and him screaming in pain, the girl seemed a bit puzzled as she held onto his dislocated arm. A group of guys surrounded her, creating a tense standoff as if she were being held hostage.
When the security uncle arrived, this was the scene he encountered.
He quickly had the injured guy sent to the infirmary.
At this hour, there was a night shift at the school clinic, and the young female school doctor glanced at the girl accused of causing trouble, her mouth involuntarily lifting into a smirk.
"Quite heavy-handed, huh?"
The school doctor casually manipulated the bones, and with a crisp sound, she managed to reset them.
Ke Xiao Chuan let out another cry, but after that, he could move his arm again.
With his recently healed arm, he wanted to throw a punch at Jiang Chenchen.
The school doctor stopped him, frowning. "What, you want another dislocation?"
Ke Xiao Chuan's face was not looking good. He had lost a lot of face by attacking out of anger. He withdrew his hand and glared fiercely at Jiang Chenchen.
"How do you want to settle this score!"
Jiang Chenchen gestured to him, "Wait a moment."
She spoke calmly and interrupted the confrontation, turning her attention to the school doctor sister.
"Why did it get fixed so easily?"
The school doctor, amused, couldn't believe the question in this situation.
Such a peculiar female student.
"This is a joint dislocation, mainly due to external force, like when you folded his arm just now. It made him lose the normal articulation, causing misplacement. Fortunately, it wasn't very severe, so I just put it back into place."
She explained the process in detail.
Then, with a raised eyebrow, she added, "Understand? Don't casually twist someone's arm; it's troublesome to fix."
After finishing, she yawned.
After hearing her explanation, Jiang Chenchen redirected her gaze back to Ke Xiao Chuan's arm.
Ke Xiao Chuan: ?
I haven't even settled the score with you, and now you're eyeing my arm?!
Before he could speak out, the school doctor sister, still busy packing up, shooed everyone away, "It's so late; if there's nothing wrong, go back."
"Oh, by the way, you better keep this arm quiet for a couple of days. Otherwise, if it dislocates again, don't expect me to fix it. Got it?"
Is this new school doctor always this domineering?
Ke Xiao Chuan wanted to retort, but when she glanced at him, her eyes were as sharp as knives, radiating a cold light. Realizing that today was probably not a good day to provoke women, he immediately shut his mouth.
On the other side, the security uncle had already informed the head teacher. A campus brawl like this was not going to be easily resolved.
Everyone involved got a major disciplinary mark, and the next day, the school broadcast publicly acknowledged the mistake.
Except for Jiang Chenchen.
"If they hadn't had ill intentions, you wouldn't have harmed anyone. This falls under self-defense, and you did well, very brave," said the head teacher, usually stern and reprimanding, but now smiling warmly like a gentle breeze.
Ke Xiao Chuan's eyes widened!
Is this damn toad out of his mind today? Who is this girl and why is he acting like this?!
The head teacher was known for favoritism in education, usually impartial except for the top-performing students. However, now it seemed like he had completely tilted.
Feeling unjustly scolded and experiencing the polarized treatment, they were furious.
They had to find out about the background of this new student!
...
Jiang Chenchen finally returned to the dorm and could rest. She received a call from Sheng Mingsi. The girl who was apparently sleeping behind the curtain, so she walked out to the balcony to answer the call.
"Brother Ah si..."
"Are you injured?"
"No injuries, just got hung up on your call. I was angry, so I twisted that classmate's arm."
Sheng Mingsi: ?
He thought she might be at a disadvantage, but it turned out to be an overreaction.
After Wu Bi investigated, he found that Jiang Chenchen had crossed paths with the campus queen, Gu Sujiao. Wu Bi remarked, "Isn't this the one?"
Sheng Mingsi: "Oh?"
"Brother Ah si! I just found out today that dislocated arms can be put back in place."
Jiang Chenchen's words made him pause. Lately, she seemed keen on learning various first aid and medical skills, but dislocating someone's arm and putting it back in place wasn't something to learn.
"Are you used to school?"
"Yeah, I'm used to it."
There was a brief silence on the other end.
Jiang Chenchen called his name again.
Sheng Mingsi sat up from his previously lazy position and, with a controlled tone, said, "Don't eat in the school cafeteria at noon tomorrow. Come out."
"Huh?" Jiang Chenchen was puzzled. "Are you coming over at noon?"
"We'll see tomorrow."
Sheng Mingsi added, "Go to bed early."
The call was already hung up on the other side, and Jiang Chenchen looked at the phone screen, feeling confused.
But she was inexplicably looking forward to tomorrow!
Turning around to enter the room, it was dimly lit by a desk lamp. The girl near the balcony bed seemed to be peeking at her through the curtain.
Jiang Chenchen quickly noticed it. When she glanced over, it seemed like a mistake; the curtain was tightly drawn, and she couldn't see anything.
She retracted her gaze, closed the balcony door, drew the curtains, and went back to her desk. She worked on some practice papers, studied for a while, and then went to sleep.
In the moment the light was turned off, she could feel a dark gaze nearby, as if it was staring at her.
Jiang Chenchen looked towards the bed diagonally opposite. She didn't understand what was going on.
But for now, there were no danger signals for her. She didn't pay much attention and soon fell asleep.
The next day, waking up early, Jiang Chenchen didn't see the girl on the diagonally opposite bed. It was quite mysterious.
Entering the classroom, she was met with the eyes of many classmates, along with whispers. Would the new student have a miserable time today?
After all, yesterday she angered Gu Sujiao, who arrived early in the morning and placed a box on her desk.
It looked like a cake, but everyone knew there must be some trick inside, like worms squeezed into the cake!
This was a common trick, and then they would watch her eat it!
Jiang Chenchen ignored these glances, walked to her seat, and saw her desk mate.
With a healthy complexion, she had tied all her half-short hair into small braids, giving her a distinctive look.
But despite her fierce appearance yesterday, she now actively waved at Jiang Chenchen with a smile.
"Hi, Jiang Chenchen, good morning!"
Others: Uh-oh, here comes the trap! First, disarm with a smile, then hand her the cake filled with bugs, and watch her swallow it!
Chapter 100: From Now On, You're My Buddy
Gu Sujiao willingly gave up her seat. Jiang Chenchen nodded at her, then walked in and took her seat.
The cake box on the table was very eye-catching. Gu Sujiao warmly said, "I bought this from the queue at San Chang Street. Their mousse cake is delicious. Try it. If you like it, I'll buy it for you next time."
Jiang Chenchen has always loved sweet things, and Sheng Mingsi often bought them for her. Since the last incident where she got injured while saving someone, she refrained from sweets for a while. But seeing the cake on the table, she suddenly felt the urge to eat.
"You bought it for me to eat?"
She asked uncertainly.
Why did her desk mate suddenly lose hostility towards her?
Because at the moment, her eyes and the aura she emitted showed no danger.
Jiang Chenchen was quite puzzled.
Seeing her hesitation, Gu Sujiao took the initiative to open the box and handed her a small fork, saying, "Enjoy."
Opening the cake box revealed a tempting mousse cake.
Jiang Chenchen's index finger moved.
Instinctively, she took the small fork.
Students in the class were intentionally or unintentionally watching this scene, holding their breath. It was the most nerve-wracking moment.
Gu Sujiao had really gone all out. The mousse cake from the famous San Chang Street was known to be delicious, and it often took a long time to queue for it.
Using this as bait was a clever move, making it nearly impossible to guard against.
And it seemed like the new student had fallen completely into the trap.
Would the small fork in her hand cut open the cake, revealing the worms inside?
Some students even started feeling nauseous, covering their mouths and coughing.
More were staring intently at Jiang Chenchen's hand, wanting to see what tricks Gu Jie had used!
Jiang Chenchen took a small spoonful of cake and ate it. It was sweet and delicious.
She swallowed it!
Other students in the class were shocked. Wasn't there supposed to be a burst of worms in her mouth?
The layers of the mousse cake appeared normal. Could there be nothing unusual inside? Was there no secret?
Whispers started circulating in the classroom, becoming a tumultuous discussion.
"Does Sister Jie have a new move?"
"First intentionally distract the opponent and then strike decisively?"
"I always feel that things aren't that simple. After all, this person is Sister Jie! Can she be so kind?"
"I was afraid there was poison in the cake!"
"No... is there really poison?"
Gasps of shock echoed in the classroom.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chenchen had finished the entire mousse cake. She hadn't eaten breakfast, so it filled her stomach perfectly.
She sincerely said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Among classmates, we should help each other, right? Besides, we're desk mates, aren't we!"
Gu Sujiao said with enthusiasm, reaching out to hook Jiang Chenchen's shoulder and whispering in her ear, "Look, I bought you a cake to make amends. Let's not dwell on this matter anymore, okay?"
Jiang Chenchen looked at her with a side glance. "Dwell on what?"
Gu Sujiao was a bit impatient and spoke quickly, "Don't pretend not to know. My brother warned me last night. If I dare to bully you, he'll break my legs. I need your consent and acceptance of my apology for this matter to be considered settled."
Although Jiang Chenchen didn't quite understand what she was talking about, she nodded, "Alright."
Gu Sujiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted her shoulder, and raised her eyebrows, "Before, I didn't know who you were, and I might have offended you. I hope you can forgive me."
"From now on, you're my buddy. If anyone dares to bully you, just mention my name. If someone bullies you, it's like bullying me. I will help you get revenge!"
She said this loudly, making her voice heard throughout the classroom.
She suddenly raised her voice and conveyed her intentions, surprising her classmates.
What on earth was going on? How did they go from enemies to good sisters overnight?
The sudden raise in her voice and the meaning behind her words surprised all the students.
What on earth was happening? How did they go from enemies to good sisters overnight? The plot was more dramatic than a TV series, and it was simply unbelievable!
Even more unbelievably, after morning exercises, the school broadcast announced an apology statement from Gu Sujiao's number one suitor, Ke Xiaochuan.
Although he didn't explicitly mention the student he was apologizing to, he referred to the new student in Class 11 of the senior third grade.
Wasn't the new student Jiang Chenchen?
She seemed like a pretty and elegant girl, but within just over a day, she had received apologies and flattery from two major troublemakers. It was truly beyond belief!
For those who were trying to dig into Jiang Chenchen's background, they found nothing significant. However, they did come across her participation in a romance variety show.
And it was with the new rising star, Lu Su!
This news quickly spread throughout the campus.
After the morning classes, Class 11 of the senior third grade was surrounded, making it nearly impossible to move.
Gu Sujiao could only helplessly watch. After all, compared to crazy star-chasing fans, she couldn't compete!
When those people crowded around Jiang Chenchen's desk, Gu Sujiao had already slipped away.
"Jiang Chenchen, can you tell me Lu Su's contact information?"
"Do you have any private photos of him? I'll pay a high price!"
"Can you contact Lu Su now? I have something important to discuss with him!"
Their words created a chaotic cacophony.
Jiang Chenchen remembered that Sheng Mingsi had asked her to meet him outside the school at noon. However, being blocked like this, she couldn't push through the crowd.
She felt a bit anxious and wanted to get out quickly to meet Sheng Mingsi.
Unable to push through the crowded people, she turned her gaze to the window.
This was the third floor, and there were trees outside.
Jiang Chenchen's eyes deepened. She opened the window, attracting the attention of everyone, and then jumped onto the windowsill and leaped out.
This sudden move left the onlookers in the classroom dumbfounded.
Half a minute later.
"Oh my gosh!"
"Ahhhhh! Help!"
"She jumped off the building!"
Classmates near the window hurriedly gathered to look outside and found that she had jumped from the tree to the ground, agile and nimble as a monkey, then ran and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Such an unexpected move caught everyone off guard.
But soon they reacted.
"She ran away! Quick, chase her!"
Another wave of people rushed down.
Jiang Chenchen had already dashed out of the school and arrived outside the gate.
Sheng Mingsi had told her to come outside, but he hadn't specified the location. So, she waited at the school gate.
Her heart was both nervous and uneasy.
She felt like she could see him soon, that sense of anticipation.
Even though it had only been two or three days since they last met.
Footsteps approached, and Jiang Chenchen quickly looked up. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes because the person who came wasn't Sheng Mingsi.
"Are you Jiang Chenchen?"
The one who spoke was a melancholic-looking boy. Half of his long hair covered one eye, and his expression showed a momentary surprise and scrutiny.
