Guo Kunnan followed her for twenty or thirty ters. In the end, acting on impulse, he pretended to jog ahead, intending to pass the girl and see what she looked like from the front.
Cao Kun saw through Kunnan’s intention and shouted from behind, "Anan, is that girl in white pretty?"
Just as Guo Kunnan was about to turn his head back, he heard this and his expression was priceless.
A few girls turned around at once.
Guo Kunnan was caught in an awkward situation and scrambled back in embarrassnt.
"Damn it, Ah Kun!" Guo Kunnan said in frustration.
Cao Kun and Hu Jun laughed heartily.
Cao Kun patted Guo Kunnan on the shoulder and said, "Man, you can’t be too fickle."
Guo Kunnan said, "I was just looking."
Hu Jun, who knew him well, replied, "You’d fall in love just by looking."
Cao Kun, who had sat next to Guo Kunnan for several months, suddenly asked, "Didn’t you say you were going back during the winter break to reach out to your middle school classmates?"
Guo Kunnan replied, "I’m indeed worrying about this!"
Having studied in the town before, and now admitted to a high school in the city, he was already a model of turning the tables.
He had located his forr middle school classmates and was planning a gathering, thinking about how to show his exceptional side in front of his female classmates.
"The last ti I saw her complaining on QQ space that her new shoes didn’t fit, I planned to gift her shoes as a eting gift. Brother Kun, do you have any recomndations?" Guo Kunnan said, "Like Nike, Adidas, New Balance."
Cao Kun didn’t recomnd any brands.
Instead, he scrutinized him and said, "Why do you think about giving shoes?"
Guo Kunnan smiled wryly, "Anyway, I’ve been earning so money from gaming recently. I can afford it, and since I haven’t seen her for a long ti, she’d surely be very happy with a gift."
"Don’t give it." Cao Kun’s expression turned somber. "With all of my love experience, I can tell you that if you use money as a leverage in love, you will not only lose money but also lose love."
Guo Kunnan was taken aback.
Cao Kun thought of his past with ng Zi Yun and her ruthless withdrawal. He sincerely said, "If you choose to be a dog from the start, then no matter how excellent you are, you’ll forever just be a dog."
These words made Guo Kunnan fall silent.
Hu Jun agreed, "That’s true. If this love is paved with money, it’s definitely not pure."
Guo Kunnan’s entire plan was shattered after being lectured by the two masters.
"If love that can be pursued with money isn’t genuine love, then what is?" Guo Kunnan was puzzled.
Hu Jun gave a light smile, "Let teach you."
He whistled, and from the lawn twenty ters away, a little yellow dog dashed over, licking Hu Jun’s shoes.
Hu Jun said, "Love is like a dog licking your shoes."
Cao Kun frowned, "Isn’t that kind of love nonsense?"
At that mont, a voice shouted from afar, "Wangcai, Wangcai, where did you run off to?"
Hu Jun said, "Even if it’s not your dog."
Hu Jun nudged the dog away with his foot, but the dog continued licking his shoes.
Hu Jun said, "Even if you’ve already abandoned it."
Cao Kun was shocked. ’Wow, can this slightly mature, slightly honest, and sowhat clumsy Hu Jun actually have such insights?’
Cao Kun extended the topic, "You should cherish those who love you, not those who make you spend money just to earn a smile."
In his eyes were pain and disgust, carrying emotions for soone and for an unbearable past. His tone was laden with heavy emotion: "They don’t deserve to be human; they’re trash!"
Guo Kunnan let out a deep sigh, "But nobody loves ."
How can an ordinary guy expect others to love him?
Hu Jun scolded, "Nonsense, doesn’t your sister love you? She buys you a phone, clothes, snacks, gives you red envelopes..."
Guo Kunnan pointed at him, very angrily saying, "Damn, you’re still eyeing my sister!"
...
In the afternoon, there was a math exam.
Jiang Ning dropped off Tongtong at the exam site and went to take a nap.
He went downstairs alone, and as he passed the stairwell, he encountered Yun Tingting and two girls going upstairs.
Jiang Ning stepped to the side to give way, even now as soone accomplished, Jiang Ning still maintained a high level of manners.
Yun Tingting giggled, brushed past his arm, and teased, "Why dodge?"
Jiang Ning ignored her.
Yun Tingting didn’t mind his lack of response, after all, she got the upper hand.
The other two girls glanced at Jiang Ning and teased Yun Tingting as they went upstairs.
It was just a bit of playful teasing from so girls. As a Cultivator, Jiang Ning naturally wouldn’t stoop to their level. This was rely one of the trials of worldly experience.
Jiang Ning walked toward the Yucai Mini Store outside the school, where he bought a can of cola and three bags of dried fish snacks.
Jiang Ning handed over a 10 yuan bill.
At the mont, the shop was being tended by Wei Xiu Yuan from Class 1. After more than a year of honing his skills, he had gradually matured. Seeing soone he recognized, Wei Xiu Yuan waved his hand: "Forget it, just a few bucks."
Jiang Ning: "You should still take the money."
Wei Xiu Yuan took the 10 yuan and gave back 5 yuan in change.
Jiang Ning took the change and dug out 50 cents to put aside.
Wei Xiu Yuan: "Alright then."
They were both in Exam Room No. 1. They chatted briefly about the afternoon’s exam, then Jiang Ning sat on the bench outside, sipping cola and eating dried fish snacks.
Jiang Ning gazed at the long street outside the school gates, with people coming and going.
Wei Xiu Yuan sat at the counter with his notebook of mistakes, occasionally glancing up at Jiang Ning, feeling a twinge of envy.
Jiang Ning excelled in academics, sports, and was popular with the girls. The famously attractive Yun Tingting was quite close to him, which made others envious.
Although so boys said Jiang Ning was pretentious, Wei Xiu Yuan knew they were just jealous.
He put down his mistakes notebook, opened the oven, grabbed two Volcanic Stone Roasted Sausages, and walked to the bench outside: "Here, for you."
This ti, Jiang Ning accepted.
Wei Xiu Yuan initially wanted to chat with him, but a few more students ca to buy things, so he returned indoors to tend to the business, skillfully handling various conversations.
Jiang Ning withdrew his gaze. In his past life as a student, he had quite envied Wei Xiu Yuan for being tall, handso, academically successful, and coming from a wealthy family.
After graduation, his envy grew. He worked his entire life, yet couldn’t afford a house in Nan City, while Wei Xiu Yuan owned one at 18.
Jiang Ning finished the sausage and noticed a familiar figure—a 1.7-ter-tall presence with jet-black hair cascading down like a waterfall, reaching over her hips and offering a visual impact.
Jiang Ning returned to the mini store to retrieve two cans of Wangzai Milk, using his mana to warm the cans with surrounding heat.
He paid for them and headed straight for the school gate, until he reached the girl: "Pei Yujing."
"Ah?" Pei Yujing responded, looking flustered and awkward.
Her face was beautiful but extrely cold, showing indifference to external things, yet a trace of panic now appeared.
Jiang Ning looked at her. Pei Yujing, ten years later, seed no different from now.
"Let’s go together," Jiang Ning said.
"Mm," Pei Yujing replied softly.
Wei Xiu Yuan finished handling the money and intended to chat more with Jiang Ning. But when he looked up, he found Jiang Ning walking side by side with a long-haired girl, their silhouettes perfectly matched.
Wei Xiu Yuan: "Damn!"
Main path of the campus.
Jiang Ning handed over the Wangzai Milk: "Have a drink."
"Huh? Oh." Pei Yujing received the Wangzai Milk, her cold hands touching the gentle warmth.
She didn’t speak, feeling extrely flustered inside:
’Why did he give milk?’
’Does he like ? But getting close to brings bad luck...’
In Pei Yujing’s heart, a little person was dancing. Her expression remained icy cold.
’How should I refuse his kindness? Should I return the milk?’
’...But, he has saved several tis.’
She wanted to sneak a glance at Jiang Ning, but feared he’d notice, so she remained silent and moved forward.
Jiang Ning remained silent as well, and so they walked in silence.
Pei Yujing’s heart was like a cat scratching, she broke the silence: "Jiang Ning, did you co to school today for the exam?"
After asking, Pei Yujing realized the question’s stupidity, feeling utterly hopeless: ’I wish the school would explode, and I could ascend to heaven with it.’
Jiang Ning replied quickly: "Impressive, you guessed it."
