Classroom of Class 8.
Jiang Ning found Bai Yuxia’s jaw-dropping explanation hilarious. This girl was quite resourceful in a pinch, but her level of quick wit had dropped to that of Chen Siyu’s.
After Bai Yuxia finished speaking, her eyes started to wander, avoiding Jiang Ning’s gaze at all costs.
Jiang Ning wasn’t planning to let her off the hook, he nodded and discussed seriously:
"Foreign films are usually high-definition, which requires a good network. I suggest you watch dostic films; the quality might be blurry, but it aligns better with our people’s aesthetics."
Bai Yuxia remained unfazed: "Hmm, alright, I’ll definitely try it next ti."
Jiang Ning: "Your essay scores haven’t been great lately. How about this, I’ll punish you by having you write an 800-word movie review to practice your writing skills."
This was too much... Bai Yuxia found it hard to breathe, how could he be like this!
However, Bai Yuxia was highly independent. On the surface, she appeared easy-going and could talk to anyone pleasantly, but that was due to her good upbringing.
Deep down, Bai Yuxia had a level of understanding beyond her peers, which gave her confidence to stand in a high position, even when facing Jiang Ning, she still had her own domain.
But now, being teased like this, Bai Yuxia’s composure was sowhat shaken. She pretended not to understand:
"Oh, when I’m done, should I give it to you for correction?"
Jiang Ning: "Sure, after all, I need to assess your level."
Bai Yuxia was defeated; she couldn’t comprehend how such an abnormal exchange could be carried out so smoothly?
Was he not embarrassed?
The atmosphere between the two cald a bit, as Chen Siyu quietly slipped back in and then locked eyes with Bai Yuxia’s stern gaze.
Chen Siyu: "Hahaha, did you two have a pleasant chat?"
Jiang Ning: "Quite enjoyable."
Bai Yuxia smiled: "Very enjoyable indeed."
For so reason, Chen Siyu felt a bit uneasy looking at Bai Yuxia’s expression, and she quickly explained:
"Just now my account was logged in by my sister."
"It’s fine. There’s no difference between you and your sister." Bai Yuxia continued to smile.
Chen Siyu was silent for a mont: "There are differences actually."
Jiang Ning, who was watching from the side, remarked playfully: "What differences are there?"
Bai Yuxia sensed sothing was off and cut in: "Alright, Siyu, step aside a bit, I’m going back to my seat."
...
Second period of evening self-study ended.
Xue Yuantong woke up from her sleep, looking around in confusion, completely clueless.
Jiang Ning pulled out a wet wipe, saying: "Wipe your face."
After freshening up her face, Xue Yuantong finally woke up, realizing that school hadn’t finished yet. The noisy break ti wasn’t conducive to sleeping again, so she took Jiang Ning to the hallway to get so air.
Class 8 was located in the southeast corner of the school building, with two balconies, the southern balcony typically being occupied by Cui Yu and ng Gui’s group, especially during the day, they would enjoy looking down at passing girls.
The eastern corridor, relatively speaking, had fewer passing girls and wasn’t liked by the boys, except Jiang Ning, who was indifferent to female allure and was a regular there.
Jiang Ning arrived a bit late, to find his favorite viewing spot occupied by Lin Zida and his crew from Class 1.
After standing still, Jiang Ning ended up adjacent to them.
Lin Zida, Zhuang Jianhui, and Li Shi were chatting over here. When Jiang Ning arrived, all three glanced over.
Especially the tall Li Shi, whose outfit today was exceptional. While ordinary students worried about buying a single branded item, Li Shi was already sporting a tens-of-thousands-of-yuan LV coat.
Unlike an LV bag that fits any season, a seasonal piece like a coat required substantial capability to carry off.
Li Shi’s coat was in a milk tea color, which, paired with her height of over 1.75 ters, accentuated her slender figure. Her elegance and youthful beauty intimidated those in the know.
However, Xue Yuantong rely glanced at her; not understanding, but envious of Li Shi’s height, particularly frustrated by Li Shi’s habit of looking down on her.
Xue Yuantong couldn’t help but wish to summon Tang Fu for a return disdain.
After greeting, Lin Zida continued their conversation, what was interesting was that Li Shi’s voice grew a bit louder.
Frequently jumping out were attention-grabbing words like [Mu Changqing][press conference][invitation], seemingly intended for Jiang Ning to hear.
Xue Yuantong wasn’t interested in these and inford Jiang Ning: "Lu Qiqi posted on social dia about a Western restaurant opening in the urban area, said to be particularly expensive."
Western food, to soone from a rural area like Xue Yuantong, was an elevated experience; most people might not have a formal Western al until college, or after graduating.
Jiang Ning shook his head.
Xue Yuantong considered the money she had stored with him: "I’ll treat you this weekend."
Although Li Shi was in conversation, she inexplicably felt discontent toward Jiang Ning. Since their first encounter, sothing about him irritated her, why would the exceptional Ding Shuyan associate with soone like Jiang Ning?
If Li Shi could prove Jiang Ning was nothing special, making him falter, wouldn’t it imply that woman had misjudged too?
However, Li Shi’s strengths never made an impression before Jiang Ning, instead, she’d been outshone repeatedly.
Today, she finally seized the opportunity and broke off from her previous topic: "There’s nothing special about Western food; have you never tried it?"
Li Shi had planned her next line, which, if they took the bait, would segue into her experiences at Michelin-starred restaurants, proudly showcasing what she had enjoyed.
This approach had proven effective before; a small boy once tried to invite her out, aiming for soplace fancy—yes, so hotpot place or similar—after all, for ordinary high schoolers, hotpot was quite an expense.
