Chapter 1682 - 916: Prelude
Class 8, Long corridor watching the girls’ platform.
"My watch, nice right?" The rich kid’s lips curled into a smile. Yes, everyone who sees him always compliments his watch, which is actually quite tiresome.
Yet, this person’s praise unexpectedly pleased him.
Dan Xiao’s attire was simple, a large, worn-out school jacket over a cotton jacket underneath, giving him a slightly bulky look, but his smile was full of energy and radiated a positive, sunny vibe.
Even those with a darkness inside couldn’t help but be moved by his aura.
This is why Wu Xiaoqi sees him as a close friend, even Zhang Chi can’t bear to harm him.
The rich kid laughed, "You’ve got a good eye."
Dan Xiao sheepishly scratched his head and said fluently, "Because your down jacket is from Moncler, known as the Hermes of down jackets, and the one you’re wearing should be priced over 20,000, so your watch must be something else."
Duan Shigang heard this and couldn’t help but take another look at the newcomer, surprised at his insight.
Wang Yong looked at Dan Xiao in shock, reassessing him, he hadn’t noticed Brother Jin’s clothing brand either.
The rich kid gently touched his watch, about to speak when a voice called from behind, "Gong Jin, come on."
He turned around, finding it was Lin Zida.
The rich kid casually said, "Alright, let’s chat later, I need to deal with something."
...
The sky darkened, and the classroom heated up.
Jiang Ning and Tongtong walked into the classroom. Most classmates were there, having undergone significant changes over the end of the year, with some gaining weight, some losing weight, and others heavier with dark circles.
"Hey, Xue Yuantong did you get taller?" Jiang Yanan exclaimed in surprise, wearing a low-key beige down jacket, appearing even more low-key and steady than before.
Xue Yuantong was overjoyed upon hearing this and asked eagerly, "Did you really notice me getting taller? How many centimeters did I grow?"
Jiang Yanan was quite tall, over 167 centimeters, and honestly, she couldn’t give an accurate number for Tongtong, after a brief thought she said, "At least two centimeters."
"Oh... okay then." Xue Yuantong’s mood dropped. Even with two extra centimeters, she was still less than 155 centimeters, still short.
She returned to her seat, finding the silly Chen Siyu lying across the desk, which appeared to have been wiped clean along with Jiang Ning’s desk.
Xue Yuantong praised, "Siyu, I knew I wasn’t mistaken about you, you proactive woman!"
Chen Siyu was puzzled, "How was I proactive?"
"About my seat."
Chen Siyu replied, "Oh, it wasn’t me."
At this moment, Yang Sheng from the front row stood up and gestured towards the back, indicating it was her handiwork.
Chen Siyu explained, "Yu Wen arrived early today and was showing off her fake bracelet in front of Yang Sheng..."
Yu Wen was boasting crazily at the time, but Yang Sheng pulled out a bill from the desk drawer, itemizing how many times Yu Wen owed her, instructing her to clean all the desks and chairs.
Yu Wen wanted to buy her way out of it, but Yang Sheng didn’t agree, so ultimately she had to honestly do the work.
There was no choice, Class 8 was a small world where reputation mattered.
Yu Wen was exhausted, now hearing Chen Siyu’s impromptu words.
She abruptly turned around, loudly asserting, "Really, mine is genuine gold."
"Really?"
Chen Siyu raised her hand, showing off her cute pink and white wrist, wearing a ridiculously large and flashy gold bracelet, even bigger and more lustrous than Yu Wen’s bracelet.
She tilted her head, "Yours is gold, then what’s mine?"
Yu Wen was dumbfounded, ’Is this such a big gold bracelet? It could probably be worn as a collar around someone’s neck, right?’
’Who buys such a large gold bracelet?’
Chen Siyu proudly asked, "How about it?"
Yu Wen’s face shifted. Before she won the 300,000 lottery, she was very low-key in Class 8, bullied at will! Now that she’s won 300,000, should she continue to endure humiliation and burden?
The embarrassing scenes from the past flashed in her mind, she once wore a gold bracelet, only to have Cui Yu use a magnet to attach it while Lu Qiqi mocked freely from the side.
Now, Yu Wen resolutely pulled out a magnet and stuck it to Chen Siyu’s gold bracelet!
Her eyes widened, it’s time to witness a miracle!
Xue Yuantong said, "Didn’t stick?"
Yu Wen was incredulous, "How is that possible?"
Chen Siyu calmly retracted her hand, assuming a high-level demeanor.
Yu Wen doubted life, turning her body back.
Xue Yuantong’s eyes widened, "Siyu, did you get rich?"
Chen Siyu responded mysteriously, "Hard plastic."
Xue Yuantong was even more puzzled, "Why did you buy it, not clearly wearable, your hands are so small."
Chen Siyu gave an evil grin, "Who says you can’t wear it?"
Xue Yuantong was baffled.
...
Today is the first day of school, classmates were enthusiastic, eager to share what happened during winter break, many noises blended together into a "buzzing" sound.
In this hustle and bustle, Lu Qiqi entered Class 8 with a stern face.
She carried three cups of milk tea, angry at that scoundrel Yan Tianpeng for claiming to treat her to milk tea, but then disappeared after placing the order, leaving her to pay for it. She wanted to smash the milk tea on the floor but couldn’t bear the thought since it was her money.
Lu Qiqi reached her seat, finding Yu Wen lying on the desk. Feeling annoyed, she hastily distributed the milk tea to Shen Qing’e and Jiang Yanan, perfectly dividing the three cups.
Upon hearing the commotion, Yu Wen straightened up, seeing Lu Qiqi bought milk tea but didn’t share with her, making her feel even more upset.
Jiang Ning gave Tongtong and Chen Siyu some sunflower seeds.
Lu Qiqi noticed Yu Wen’s disgruntled expression and said, "Sorry Wenwen, I forgot to buy for you."
As a mediator, Jiang Yanan offered her milk tea to Yu Wen, "Wenwen, I’ve had a lot of water today, take it."
Yu Wen pushed away the milk tea, stood up, and loudly said, "Good thing you forgot, I almost thought you were deliberately ignoring me and didn’t offer me any!"
Lu Qiqi was also in a bad mood, hearing the pointed remark, she retorted, "What’s it to you if I decide whom to buy milk tea for?"
Yu Wen sneered, "I thought you were jealous of me!"
Lu Qiqi was guessed accurately, she weakly insisted, "What would I be jealous of? Jealous of your good looks?"
Jiang Ning watched the drama unfold, thinking how amusing it was that high school girls could argue so fiercely over such trivial matters.
The back row was heated with argument, while in the front row, Song Sheng was watching videos, revisiting boxing techniques.
Since recovering from his injuries, his warrior spirit returned. Unknown to others, a fierce tiger lived in his heart.
Beside him, Pang Jiao had grown more robust; she said, "Damn Yanyan, I accidentally overate during New Year, gaining from 210 pounds to 219.7 pounds."
Wang Yan Yan said, "Jiaojiao, don’t belittle yourself, winter clothes weigh several pounds, and you probably ate a lot this afternoon, rounding off, you’ve actually gotten thinner."
Pang Jiao opened her mouth full of dark facial hair, exaggeratedly saying, "Damn, worried for a long time now!"
Wang Yan Yan said, "Look, Yu Wen and others are drinking milk tea today, you aren’t, from the principle of energy conservation, you’re actually slimmer than them."
Song Sheng couldn’t hold it anymore, having spent a winter break without Pang Jiao lowered his endurance considerably.
He couldn’t help but mock, "Who’s thin, who’s fat, playing dumb are we?"
Pang Jiao’s face darkened.
Wang Yan Yan quickly saved face, "Jiaojiao, aren’t you thinner compared to yourself? Don’t mind him, your only opponent is yourself."
Pang Jiao endured, shaking her head, "I’ve embarked on the path of weight loss, I’m no longer weak!"
Song Sheng, thinking of the seating arrangement once school started, anticipated escaping from the demon cave, like a prisoner on the verge of completing his sentence, grew even more eager.
Song Sheng promptly teased her, "You’re so fat, where are you weak!"
