Chapter 139 – Transfer Student (2) (转学生(二))
Today, Tang Zihua looked a little paler than before. Sensing Jing Yunzhao’s questioning gaze, he smiled.
“It seems like I’ll have to trouble you.” Tang Zihua’s attitude was gentlemanly, just like a weak and sickly prince.
Having already chosen the seat behind Jing Yunzhao, Gan Jinchen could not help but frown when he saw that.
He had already made inquiries as to who the transfer students were. There were two of them. One was called Tang Zihua, while the other was called He Jiasi (何嘉思).
Tang Zihua’s grandfather was Ning City’s richest man, while He Jiasi was a rich daughter from another family in Ning City. Her aunt had told him that the two families’ relationship was very good, but the He family had fallen and their glory could not be compared to their past. The reason why the He family had sent He Jiasi to Hua Ning County was because of Tang Zihua. They were hoping that the two could develop feelings while they were young. The meaning within those intentions did not have to be said aloud for anyone to know.
Gan Jinchen directed his gaze outside of the classroom, and indeed, found a girl staring at Tang Zihua and Jing Yunzhao. Her gaze towards Jing Yunzhao, however, was as if she wanted to kill her. It truly made one dislike her.
“Yunzhao, it’s rare for all of us to be able to be in the same class. Why don’t the four of us all have lunch together in the afternoon?” Gan Jinchen asked all of a sudden.
Four people. It naturally referred to Su Chu, Xiao Haiqing, Jing Yunzhao and himself.
As for that Tang Zihua…
While he may not know the reason why he came to Hua Ning County, it would be better for Jing Yunzhao to stay further away from him. That He Jiasi was someone who should not be easily provoked. It was not his intention to arouse Jing Yunzhao’s sense of danger, but he was hoping that she would not waste her time and effort on unrelated people. Not only that, her reputation had finally turned for the better, if something were to come up again in the future, they could not compensate for it.
“Okay okay! Biao-jie, you’ve only been accompanying Xiao Haiqing for the past two days, not even caring about me. I was bored to death!” Su Chu’s eyes twinkled, her mind already thinking up dish after dish of delicious food. Her appetite would finally be whet tonight!
Jing Yunzhao really did not know what to do with Su Chu. Her personality was cute and she was also slightly younger than her. Every day, she would pounce at her to sell meng, leaving her no way to resist.
“Let’s go back home for lunch, I’ll cook.” Jing Yunzhao smiled.
As if being cleansed by Spring’s winds. That was all Tang Zihua felt.
Previously, when they had met, she looked as cold as ice. Even when she smiled, she still looked slightly distant. Cold and aloof, not easy to get along with. Now, however, it was completely different; She looked extremely gentle. He had initially thought that she and gentleness could never be put together, but reality proved that her gentle look was a sight for sore eyes.
This smile was mostly used in front of Su Chu. When she faced Su Chu, this worriless girl, Jing Yunzhao would relax and put down her walls, feeling the joy and kindness the girl brought.
“Good! I love the food you cook the most! It’s better than Biao-ge’s by thousands of times! Oh right, it would be better if it was medical cuisine. I’ve got pimples recently…” Su Chu continued to chatter away.
Just as she was speaking, a female stranger appeared in front of their group.
Almost with no explanation, she directly seized the deskmate seat of Tang Zihua.
“Brother Zihua, I’ve heard that there’s a restaurant in Hua Ning County called Tian Xiang Lou. The environment inside is especially good. Let’s go there during the afternoon, how about it?” Right after sitting down, the girl hugged onto Tang Zihua’s arm and acted coquettishly.
Jing Yunzhao’s body was instantly covered in goosebumps.
She did not do it on purpose, but she just could not accept listening to this kind of tone.
She was still polite though and did not show it on the outside. She turned around to arrange her school bag, while Xiao Haiqing by her side, who could not tolerate this kind of play even more, frowned and played with her ears. Seeing how Jing Yunzhao and the other guy knew each other though, she too, kept quiet.
Contrarily, it was Tang Zihua who frowned and pulled his arm away. “Jiasi, didn’t you make a new friend? Why did you come here to sit with me?”
