Chapter 76: Conflict – You Look So Sexy When You’re Angry

At this time, only Liang Yin was in the office. Xu Jing stood at the door for a while. Although he still felt a little awkward, when he thought of what Shen Yan said at the end, he felt that things weren’t so bad after all.

“Teacher, you wanted to see me.”

Liang Yin heard the voice and looked up, revealing a gentle smile. “It’s nothing important. It’s just that there’s a National Middle School Students Innovation Composition Competition recently. You have a good writing style and talent for writing. I wanted to ask if you’re willing to give it a try.”

“When is it?”

“Next month. The theme is not limited, mainly focusing on social hot topics. If you’re willing, take the time to write a first draft and submit it to me. If there are any problems, we can modify it later.”

Xu Jing hummed in agreement, “Okay.”

“Alright, that’s all. Go back to class.”

After saying that, Liang Yin continued to lower her head to prepare her lessons. Xu Jing was obviously a little dazed. On the way here, he had thought through all the possible conversations, but he didn’t expect it to be so simple.

But then again, he and Shen Yan left so quickly just now, Liang Yin might not have noticed at all.

“Is there anything else?”

Xu Jing shook his head and turned to leave.

But just as he was about to leave the office, Liang Yin suddenly stopped him again.

“Oh, right, you had PE class last period, right?”

Xu Jing stopped in his tracks instantly, turning his head back stiffly, and hummed in agreement.

“Why didn’t you go play basketball?”

“…”

At this moment, Xu Jing’s first thought was that Liang Yin was indeed a language teacher; the way she asked this question was too skillful.

“I…”

The air seemed to freeze, and the two looked at each other, falling into a brief silence.

Liang Yin pursed her lips tightly, as if she had thought for a long time before deciding to bring up this matter. There was a hint of embarrassment on her face, and her voice lowered, “Don’t feel burdened, just pretend you didn’t see anything, okay?”

Seeing this, Xu Jing immediately said, “Teacher Liang, it’s nothing.”

Although the impact of that scene just now was indeed great, he only felt a little shocked. He didn’t expect Liang Yin and Ruan Rong to be in that kind of relationship. As for anything else, wasn’t he and Shen Yan the same? How could he find it unacceptable?

But Liang Yin didn’t know these things. She only knew that as a teacher, she had let a student witness the most embarrassing scene, which was really awkward.

Liang Yin forced a smile and said, “Thank you for your understanding.”

After Xu Jing left, Liang Yin sat in her chair, staring blankly at the lesson plan that had only a few lines written on it. She didn’t even notice the movement behind her until a pair of slender, fair hands reached out from behind and covered her eyes.

“Guess who I am.”

Liang Yin gently pulled the hand down, her tone a little downcast, “Rongrong, don’t be silly.”

Ruan Rong put the milk tea and strawberry shortcake she had just bought on the table and said, “Still thinking about what happened just now?”

“No.”

“Yes, you are. You’re so sensitive.” Ruan Rong sighed silently and said in a low voice, “Yinyin, am I not good enough?”

“No, how could that be? You know I’ve never thought that way. Besides, I’m not good enough for you.”

Liang Yin had never been so anxious before, even her speaking speed was several times faster than usual. Ruan Rong was originally pleased with Liang Yin’s reaction, but when she heard the last sentence, her tone became a little unhappy.

“Nonsense, you’re the best Yinyin in the world. In my eyes, no one is good enough for you!”

Liang Yin raised her head, looking at the outstanding, exquisite and beautiful Ruan Rong in front of her, then lowered her head, looking at herself in her ordinary and simple clothes, a hint of self-deprecation flashed across her face.

“Yinyin.” Ruan Rong squatted down, looking up at Liang Yin from a lower position, and said seriously, “You’re very beautiful, and you write such good articles. You’re talented, disciplined, and progressive, and you have delicate emotions. You’re kind and brave. You’re the most wonderful person I’ve ever met in my life. Don’t belittle yourself, you deserve the best.”

After a long silence, Liang Yin nodded and said softly, “I know.”

Ruan Rong tilted her head, her smile bright, “Then, can the most perfect woman in the world do me the honor of tasting the little cake I bought?”

Liang Yin couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Of course.”

When Xu Jing returned, his seat was being occupied by Lu Haichuan. This person was kneeling on his chair with one leg bent, holding the physics test paper assigned yesterday, leaning close to Shen Yan to ask about the questions.

Occupying his seat, pestering his boyfriend.

Very good.

When he was playing basketball just now, his target shouldn’t have been the basketball hoop; Lu Haichuan’s brain was obviously more suitable.

Xu Jing walked over with a dark face.

“So, does this question need to consider the problem of radiated electromagnetic waves? For example, radiation damping, will it also affect acceleration?”

Shen Yan glanced at the question and said, “No need.”

“Ah? Why?”

Xu Jing’s cold voice came from behind.

“With your IQ, if you consider radiation damping, you won’t be able to figure out this question in your next life.”

Lu Haichuan was also a little unhappy when he heard this, and replied, “What are you saying? Who are you looking down on?”

Xu Jing raised his chin slightly and mocked, “You.”

“Hey, Xu Jing, you—”

Lu Haichuan immediately stood up, looking like he wanted to fight.

Xu Jing looked at him disdainfully.

But no one expected that Lu Haichuan’s clothes got caught in the crack of the table, and before he could even stand up straight, he was pulled back suddenly, slamming directly onto Shen Yan like Mount Tai crashing down.

Shen Yan: “…”

Lu Haichuan: “…”

Xu Jing: “…”

Onlookers: “.”

Cha Fei’ang and Liang Ge turned their heads and were immediately dumbfounded. Looking at the two touching hands, Xu Jing felt his sanity vanish instantly. He grabbed Lu Haichuan’s collar and lifted him off. Shen Yan also stood up at the same time.

Lu Haichuan looked confused and angry at the moment. Cha Fei’ang and Liang Ge realized that the situation was not right and quickly stepped forward to say good things to both sides.

“Oh, damn, Lu Haichuan, what’s wrong with you? Did your legs go weak from playing basketball today?” Liang Ge said as he pulled him back.

Cha Fei’ang directly stood between the two, interjecting, “Yeah, you were too careless. Go back to your seat and rest. It’s okay to ask about this physics question next time.”

Especially Cha Fei’ang, having witnessed Xu Jing’s fierce side, he was extremely worried. If the two really fought, not only would they get demerits, but Lu Haichuan would probably be beaten by Xu Jing to the point where he wouldn’t dare to come to school.

Two big guys over 1.8 meters tall directly separated Xu Jing and Lu Haichuan. Shen Yan pulled Xu Jing behind him, looked at Lu Haichuan, and said in a calm tone, “Go back.”

Lu Haichuan’s face was livid, and he stood there without moving. Li Qin’s reprimanding voice came from the podium, “What are you doing standing there? Performing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Are you going to class or not?”

Cha Fei’ang whispered a lot of good things, and finally pushed Lu Haichuan back to his seat. When he sat back in his seat and saw that Xu Jing still had a cold face, he suddenly felt a little puzzled. This person clearly fell on Shen Yan, so why was Xu Jing’s reaction so big?

When Xu Jing was angry, he wouldn’t be like a storm; although fierce, the sky would clear after it passed. He was a continuous overcast day; during this period, he exuded an aura of “get away from me,” and whoever approached would be screwed.

Bad-tempered, extremely difficult to coax.

Even Shen Yan, who was usually at ease with everything, found it a little difficult to deal with an angry Xu Jing.

So, he wrote a note during class and pushed it to the emotionless Xu Jing next to him.

Xu Jing glanced at it, his breath a little unsteady.

—Classmate, you look so sexy when you’re angry.

Hard.

Extremely beautiful handwriting.

Extremely erotic words.

Xu Jing’s gaze moved to Shen Yan’s crotch. After confirming, he unceremoniously gave someone an internationally friendly gesture under the table.

Seeing that Xu Jing’s expression had eased a lot, Shen Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that playing rogue was indeed the best way to solve problems.

And Xu Jing’s mind was full of thoughts: Why could Shen Yan’s thing make such loose school pants bulge so thoroughly?

How did it develop…

This matter didn’t escalate afterwards. Lu Haichuan wasn’t stupid. Although he didn’t know the reason, he could see that Xu Jing really didn’t like him. He wouldn’t do this kind of thankless thing again and again. Although he still regarded Shen Yan as his only idol, he couldn’t stand the fact that there was a bodyguard with a terrible temper next to his idol.

This was really a troublesome thing.

·

The results of the comprehensive competition were announced in the second week of school. This year, a total of 450 students participated in the competition, and 32 people entered the interview. Compared with the previous years, the entry rate of Linhe No.1 High School decreased this year. Only two of the six people who took the exam this time made it. But at the same time, something unexpected happened: the first place in this comprehensive competition was not from Liu Hai No.1 High School, but from Linhe No.1 High School.

Before this competition, four of the top five were from Liu Hai No.1 High School. Only Shen Yan suddenly emerged, relying on full scores in math and physics, surpassing the second place by fifteen points. As soon as this news came out, the phone of the principal of Linhe No.1 High School was blown up that night, followed by countless media reporters lining up to interview.

Shen Yan’s name hung on the school’s honor roll and the banner at the gate for a whole month. The principal and grade director also made a fuss about it at the flag-raising ceremony every other day. After all, this was the first time since the founding of Linhe No.1 High School that a student had won first place in the comprehensive competition. In addition, many posts about Shen Yan were posted on the forum, ranging from personal legends to gossip, and the likes and comments were surprisingly high. Shen Yan’s name became popular again in all local schools.

Unfortunately, the person who entered the interview with Shen Yan was not Xu Jing, but another girl. She ranked fifteenth in the city. Liang Yin said that Xu Jing’s physics and math had performed particularly well, but he was dragged down by English. Otherwise, given the difficulty of this science exam, Xu Jing would have definitely entered the interview.

Although several teachers felt it was a pity, Xu Jing himself didn’t have much reaction. He knew the outcome in his heart when he came out of the exam. On the other hand, people around him, like Cha Fei’ang, specifically didn’t mention this matter, nor did they praise Shen Yan, just for fear that Xu Jing would be unhappy.

Just kidding, how could he be unhappy?

Every time he passed the honor roll, there would be a group of people gathered there. Every time, he would stop and quietly listen to those people praising Shen Yan again and again. Those exclamations and envious voices made a sense of pride involuntarily arise in his heart, as well as a inexplicable impulse. He wanted to go forward and tell those people, tell everyone, that this excellent person was his boyfriend.

But in the end, Xu Jing still did nothing, just smiled imperceptibly, and turned to leave.

But no matter how the people around him reacted, Shen Yan was as calm as ever, as if he had just taken an ordinary exam and casually won first place in the province. Before, Xu Jing had unintentionally flipped through a post about Shen Yan, in which someone said that Shen Yan seemed to be bound to some exam system, as if he would die if he didn’t get first place. When he saw it, he actually thought it made sense.

“What are you thinking about?”

Shen Yan, who had just returned from the principal’s office, saw the person in the corner supporting his head with one hand and turning a pen with the other, absentmindedly looking out the window in a daze. The young master was bending his legs, but his sitting posture was very upright.

Xu Jing’s gaze lazily moved to Shen Yan, answering with a question, “Did they call you to accept an interview again?”

“Yeah.”

“Again sharing study methods?”

“No, this time they asked about exam skills.”

“What did you say?”

“Use your brain more.”

“…”

He still remembered that the last time that media came to interview, they wanted Shen Yan to share study methods. Gifted players didn’t have any methods, so Shen Yan only replied with six words: Eat more, sleep more. After the report came out, the resounding title was: The school god with both looks and strength is here – Shen Yan, the first place in this provincial comprehensive competition, shares his study experience. The content directly expanded Shen Yan’s six words into a report of nearly five thousand words. The focus of the entire article was actually still around eating and sleeping, only said in a more official way, for example, teenagers need to ensure a certain amount of sleep time to improve learning efficiency, a reasonable diet can provide the brain with the necessary energy and nutrition…

This report was full of praise. Among them, the most liked comment was: I’ve seen a lot of academic masters, but this is the first time I’ve seen one so handsome. I hope he doesn’t enter the entertainment industry!!

As a result, it came true. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen entertainment companies privately came to the door, and some even wanted to dig up Xu Jing together after seeing him, meaning that the two could hype up a fake CP in the early stage. With Shen Yan’s current popularity and traffic, they guaranteed that they would become popular as soon as they debuted. Xu Jing laughed after hearing this. Judging from his frequency of fighting in junior high school, he could become popular today and collapse tomorrow.

“When is the interview?”

Shen Yan paused and said, “Next month.”

“Okay.” Xu Jing smiled and asked, “Want to go to Tsinghua or Peking University, God Yan.”

Shen Yan also smiled very slightly, responding perfunctorily, “We’ll see.”

After sitting down, Shen Yan was looking for the math book he needed for the next class, but before he could find the book, he found a large pile of thick envelopes in his drawer, all kinds of styles, stacked higher than six or seven textbooks.

“What is this?”

“Oh, your love letters.”

Shen Yan blinked, “You wrote them?”

“I have nothing better to do.” Xu Jing’s voice was a little muffled.

Since last month, Shen Yan’s drawer had become a mailbox. Piles of love letters came from different schools and grades. The most terrifying thing was that there were even letters from boys. He couldn’t help but open one once, and he almost threw up his lunch.

With this kind of writing, they still write love letters to people. He could write more movingly with his feet.

Knowing that Xu Jing didn’t write them, Shen Yan lost interest and said, “Why don’t you throw them away for me?”

“They’re your things, what right do I have to throw them away?”

The tone was very unhappy, but it made Shen Yan feel good.

“You don’t need to keep them next time, just throw them in the trash can when you see them.”

Looking at Xu Jing flipping through the novel with a straight face, Shen Yan’s heart moved, and he said in a cool tone, “When will I be able to receive one written by my deskmate?”

Xu Jing didn’t even lift his head and said, “In your next life.”

But Shen Yan was really looking forward to this matter. He had read Xu Jing’s compositions before. The writing was very beautiful, without gorgeous rhetoric, but it read like prose, very spiritual.

“My words are worth a thousand gold.”

Shen Yan didn’t hesitate, “Deal.”

Xu Jing: “…”
