Chapter 5  

Jiang Lingzhi took her backpack out from the drawer and looked at Wen Yujing with a troubled expression. “Jingjing, why did you tell the class president that I’m going home by myself?”

Obviously a little guilty, Wen Yujing said, “I’m sorry, he was asking me about it, and I accidentally blurted it because I was distracted. However, the class president likes you very much.”

Jiang Lingzhi knew that they were obviously not on the same page. “Oh, so the class president would get into relationships at a young age too?”

Wen Yujing put her backpack on her shoulders, walked towards her, and asked in a gossipy manner, “So, do you like the class president?”

Jiang Lingzhi shook her head and slowly walked out of the classroom. She answered honestly, “I don’t.”

Wen Yujing expressed her understanding and walked out of the classroom with Jiang Lingzhi side by side. “The class president does well in his academics and has good grades, but his personality is too boring. It must be very mundane to date him. All he does is do homework… Oh my God, it’s too scary!”

“…”

Jiang Lingzhi simply hadn’t thought about this matter.

Unlike Wen Yujing, she did not think that much about it.

Wen Yujing looked at her carefully from head to toe.

Although there wasn’t a school belle selection, Wen Yujing felt that Jiang Lingzhi would definitely be selected as the school belle if there was such a selection. She was incredibly beautiful.

“I think…”

A little curious, Jiang Lingzhi asked, “What do you think?”

Wen Yujing stroked her chin and continued to nod. “Look at you, you’re so pretty, obedient, and good-natured. I don’t think the class president is suitable for you. You need a wild and bad boy.”

‘Wild and bad boy?’

A hipster with an afro immediately appeared in her head.

Not daring to agree, Jiang Lingzhi said, “No, I don’t like such boys.”

At the next second, she thought of the boy she had knocked into yesterday.

Jiang Lingzhi puffed her cheeks up and muttered softly, “I like good-looking boys.”

Although she said those words rather softly, Wen Yujing actually heard it and was suddenly astonished.

“What!?!”

Jiang Lingzhi didn’t think that Wen Yujing would have heard her since she was so quiet. Hence, she continued to feign ignorance. “Huh?”.

“Lingzhi, I was wrong about you. You are also a sucker for handsome boys!” Wen Yujing continued in a heartbroken manner, “When we were talking about hot boys, you were obviously not interested at all!”

Jiang Lingzhi was speechless.

——

After saying goodbye to Wen Yujing at the entrance of the school, Jiang Lingzhi made her way to the bus stop.

Just like yesterday, the bus stop was still very crowded.

When Bus No. 411 stopped at the bus stop, Jiang Lingzhi followed the crowd into the bus. She placed two coins into the box and squeezed into the middle of the bus with great difficulty.

After the experience she gained yesterday, she was already familiar with what to do.

Although her mother told her to take a cab home, she felt that she had already grown up and ought not to be so spoiled.

‘It’s not a big deal to take the bus every now and then,’ she thought.

However, she recalled Wen Yujing’s expression just now.

Jiang Lingzhi was a little amused, and she couldn’t help but smile.

“You were obviously not interested at all…”

Well, that was because the boy was much more handsome than the hot boys.

The bus suddenly started moving off at the intersection after the green light came on.

Jiang Lingzhi had a hard time holding on to the hang ring. Almost losing her balance, she accidentally hit the person standing next to her with her arm.

She quickly held onto the bar and was about to apologize. However, she turned her face to the side, and a familiar scent wafted into her nose. She saw the thin but not weak shoulders, which belonged to the boy.

Jiang Lingzhi was stunned, and when she looked up, she saw a familiar side profile.

The outline of his features was defined, and his features were pronounced, with a high and straight nose bridge, and feather-like eyelashes.
