Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402: Identity Exposed (Part 10)
Jiang Xun kept a stern face and didn’t say anything, but when he heard this, he couldn’t hold back a mocking laugh, sarcastically curling his lips: “You’re overthinking it, he’s nothing but a poor kid from the mountains.”
“Hey, Jiang Xun, do you know him?” someone asked.
Jiang Xun didn’t reply further. The incidents in Xiahe Village back then had faded from his memory with the passage of time. Here in Beidu, he had long since moved up to high school through his own efforts and was now a first-year student.
With excellent grades and overall development in all aspects, in a place like Beidu, all the major families considered reputation and everything else to be of paramount importance. His excellence was naturally highly prized by the entire Jiang Family, even his two troublesome aunts were always singing his praises.
Among his classmates, his excellence made everyone look at him with admiration, leading to everything revolving around him.
He immensely enjoyed such a life.
Everything that once happened in Xiahe Village seemed so disgraceful to him; he utterly despised that place and never mentioned it in front of others. It was as if by not mentioning it, his shameful past didn’t exist.
Jiang Xun didn’t respond, and the few teenagers felt it inappropriate to continue asking questions, so they turned their heads and shifted the topic to the strategy for the upcoming game.
However, one of the teenagers, when others weren’t paying attention, had a flicker in his eyes.
He was later called in to make up the numbers. Ordinarily, he could never blend into Jiang Xun’s circle; this was the first time he had been actively invited by them. Being naturally perceptive, he instantly noticed Jiang Xun’s hostility towards Xiu Xi.
He knew this was his rare opportunity to curry favor with Jiang Xun!
Mid-game break for fifteen minutes.
Having rested enough, they went back on the field.
Ruan Jiaojiao stood on the steps, holding the thermos with one paw while raising her other paw, cheering on Xiu Xi: “Meow meow meow!!! Brother Xi, go for it, Brother Xi is awesome!”
Her voice wasn’t exactly soft, and since no one was talking at the moment, her voice suddenly caught everyone’s attention.
Especially seeing her hold with one paw while raising the other in a cheerleading gesture, with several tufts of fur on her head swaying in the wind enchantingly, the little figure really was… even a group of teenagers had to admit at that moment that this little kitten was incredibly cute.
Look, she can even cheer for someone!
Originally, some people secretly derided Xiu Xi for being a big guy who raised a cat, but now they couldn’t help feeling envious, thinking having such a Little Cutie seemed nice.
And Xiu Xi just smiled, that cold aura dissipating along with it, like winter meeting a warm current, giving people an instant feeling of a blooming spring.
Jiang Xun glanced at the rare smile on Xiu Xi’s face, then at the little yellow cat not far away, his eyes darkened.
The second half of the game officially began.
The distance Ruan Jiaojiao was seated at was the best for viewing, and since her sight was constantly fixed on Xiu Xi, she soon noticed a teenager repeatedly entangling Xiu Xi on the field.
Among those repeated efforts, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he began stretching his leg, trying to trip Xiu Xi, who was dribbling.
He even used his body as a shield when Xiu Xi jumped to dunk, attempting to hit Xiu Xi’s stomach with his elbow, making her nearly jump up and meow in rage.
Luckily, Xiu Xi was not someone who could be easily harmed. That teenager tried several times but never succeeded, instead giving Xiu Xi opportunities to score several times, causing Jiang Xun’s expression on the sidelines to worsen.
