Chapter 16 - Bicycle vs. Cullinan
When Chen Zishi heard Chu Bai say he was going to swap his seat with Wen Jing, his previous sullen face instantly beamed with joy.
The thousand yuan that he lent Chu Bai was returned back to him. He intended to present the money to Wen Jing to repay her debt.
It was just that Chen Zishi couldn't find an opening to chat eye to eye with Wen Jing. In case, Chu Bai exchanged seats with Wen Jing, he would be able to do that.
But, Chen Zishi was still a bit naive.
Chu Bai, in fact, only wanted to interact with Xu Muyan at the same desk. Nothing more.
It was not for Chen Zishi that he decided to exchange seats with Wen Jing.
Certainly, it was impractical for Chu Bai to blurt out such a thing.
In Chen Zishi's anticipated gaze, Chu Bai took a few test papers at random, got up from his seat, and walked to Wen Jing's side.
"Classmate Wen Jing, can we exchange our seats? I have some questions that I have to discuss with Xu Muyan." Chu Bai said with a smile.
Wen Jing was leaning on her desk busy concentrating on a problem. She was naturally disturbed by Chu Bai's unexpected arrival.
She was immediately a little displeased. When she saw Chu Bai's deskmate at the back who happened to be Fatty Chen, she was even more annoyed.
She was indeed vexed with Chen Zishi.
"I'm not interested." Wen Jing replied savagely.
She had already finished the task that Wang Haoran instructed her. Until she received further instructions, she chose to ignore Chen Zishi.
"I have many topics that I don't understand. I want to find Xu Muyan to clear my doubts. Studying is a very crucial thing for us. We are all fellow classmates. Why isn't it convenient for you to exchange our seats, they are just meant for studying." Chu Bai said uneasily.
"Don't talk moral philosophy with me. This is my seat. It's up to me whether I exchange my seat or not. Please leave, don't disturb my study!" Wen Jing rebuked.
"You..."
Although Chu Bai felt provoked, he didn't dare to argue with Wen Jing and retreated. After all, Xu Muyan who sat beside would monitor his actions. In addition to that, Chen Zishi would certainly stand up for Wen Jing no matter what.
He had no choice but to leave in silence. He returned back to his seat.
Chen Zishi who was expectantly looking forward to it lifted his gaze and saw Chu Bai in the seat, he lost all hope.
He glared at Chu Bai and went on to mind his own business.
Chu Bai felt extremely dejected.
At the same time.
Wang Haoran left his seat.
"Classmate Wen Jing, can we swap our seats?"
Hearing this, a trace of bitterness flashed in Wen Jing's eyes. Her heart also ached, nevertheless she still stood up obediently and gave her seat to Wang Haoran.
When the two crossed their path, Wang Haoran seamlessly stroked Wen Jing's little hand, slightly consoling her.
Wen Jing felt her mood light up as if she had tasted honey.
Wang Haoran earnestly discussed some study topics with Xu Muyan for a while.
After completing his discussion, he wasn't in a hurry to leave.
"In the Chinese class today, the teacher complimented you for your essay. I am not particularly good at writing essays. Can I borrow your essay to read?" Wang Haoran asked.
"Your writing isn't that bad either." Xu Muyan with a smile handed over the book to Wang Haoran.
"I'll return it to you by tomorrow morning."
"All right."
Everyone writes the same letters in their own style.
With many words grouped together, there were indeed countless possibilities.
This was what makes it very challenging for one to completely imitate other's handwriting.
However, for Wang Haoran, this was quite simple.
Collecting Xu Muyan's words was just the first step in Wang Haoran's plan.
The other side of the classroom.
Chu Bai was in a bad mood.
"Wen Jing ignored me when I requested her to exchange our seats but when it was Wang Haoran who asked her to leave, her treatment of him was completely different. She left without any objection. This is so disgraceful..."
"Whom are you cursing?!"
Before Chu Bai could finish what he was saying, Chen Zishi glared at him with alarming eyes and roared aloud, as if his life depended on it.
Many students in class cast sideways glance at them.
Opening his mouth, Chu Bai wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He felt extremely bitter.
After a long time, Chu Bai finally calmed himself down.
He was aware that in Wang Haoran's presence if he proceeded to go over to find Xu Muyan in the name of clearing doubts, it would probably be impossible.
This way, his plan to get close to Xu Muyan seems to have been sidelined.
As he thought of this, the silhouette of a mature woman flashed in Chu Bai's mind.
Compared to a young and beautiful girl like Xu Muyan, in fact, Song Zhenyu was more enticing for boys of his age.
"The neighborhood where Teacher Song resides seems to be in the same direction as mine..."
Other ideas were hatched up in Chu Bai's mind.
Although there were less than a hundred days before the college entrance examination, he wasn't interested to study. He was only centered on passing his time to pick up girls.
With the X-ray vision ability that he had, he just wanted to cheat in the test and get done with it.
His score would certainly depend on the neighboring students who study hard.
According to Chu Bai's estimation, it wouldn't be an issue for him to enter a good university.
Because with the X-ray vision which had the same effect as 'binoculars', he could easily see far into the distance.
As long as the examinee was in his field of vision within a few hundred meters, or even separated by many walls, he could clearly see the answer on the other party's examination paper.
***
After the evening study session.
Chu Bai slowly packed his things while also closely paying attention to the people walking out of the office not far away.
When Song Zhenyu walked out of the office, Chu Bai also left the classroom.
Then, he ran to the campus area where he parked his bicycle and drove his shabby-looking bicycle.
As per Chu Bai's calculated time, he ran into Song Zhenyu at the school gate as he wished.
"Teacher Song, it's a coincidence that I met you here." Chu Bai stopped his bicycle and pretended to meet Song Zhenyu by accident.
"Oh, it's you, Chu Bai. The study session came to an end already, all the other students had left. Why didn't you return?" Song Zhenyu asked with a smile.
Nearly all the students on campus were gone.
There was no one at the gate either.
Consequently, Song Zhenyu felt a little odd.
"Isn't my score too poor? I certainly have to put a great deal of effort than others. I stayed in the classroom for a while." Chu Bai said scratching his head, pretending to be a good student striving to study hard.
"Your grades have risen pretty quickly. If you continue to work hard, you will definitely be admitted to your dream university after the college entrance examination." Song Zhenyu also tried to cheer him up.
"Thank you, Teacher Song." Chu Bai smiled. He then changed the subject.
"Teacher Song, you go on foot, right? Can I escort you?"
Song Zhenyu's residence was not far from the school.
She would usually return back home on foot after every evening study session.
This was what Chu Bai was aware of for a long time.
"Ah, this..." Song Zhenyu for a moment didn't know what to reply.
"Teacher Song, it's now past ten o'clock in the evening, As a beautiful lady, it is very dangerous for you to go back alone after the study sessions. Allow me to escort you, you just let me follow you closely on the way, okay?"
Chu Bai was a little enthusiastic inside, and hurriedly wiped the back seat of the bicycle. He then urged her.
"Get on!"
However, at this moment.
A Cullinan stopped beside them.
The car door opened and Wang Haoran stepped out of it.

ty for chap
ReplyDeleteTy for the chap. In a way, I feel bad for the protagonist now. Being poor is not a good feeling for sure. I hope when MC defeats the protagonist, he will still be able to live a normal life later on. After having the identity of villain and actually taking actions like a villain are 2 different things.
ReplyDeleteThanks!😎
