The Beautiful Cannon Fodder Only Wants to Chase the Cold and Aloof Academic God Chapters 11, 12, and 13

 Chapter 11: Those Who Recognize the Situation Are the Outstanding Ones

“Clap, clap, clap—”

“Alright, students, that’s the end of this little theater. Let’s make good use of our time to complete our tasks. Other teachers will be coming soon.” Teacher Cen placed the papers on the podium and clapped his hands to regain everyone’s attention.

The students cooperated quite well, though they would occasionally exchange secretive smiles.

“…That hit me hard, bro.” Shen Mu felt heartbroken. He took out a piece of chewing gum and started chewing it with a heavy heart.

Fei Xinglan was puzzled, “Where did you get the chewing gum?”

“I just bought it from the convenience store.” While speaking, the class monitor handed over the papers, so Shen Mu quickly closed his mouth.

After the class monitor left, he resumed chewing the gum and blew a bubble in front of Fei Xinglan.

“I want one too.” Fei Xinglan looked at Shen Mu and grinned.

“But… I didn’t buy much.” Shen Mu looked troubled.

Fei Xinglan understood and immediately responded, “Father Shen, I’m sorry. You’re the dad. You will definitely win over Jin Yixiu.”

Shen Mu was satisfied with this response. “That’s the spirit!” he said, glancing ahead. Taking advantage of the teacher’s inattention, he discreetly threw a piece of chewing gum to Fei Xinglan.

Shen Mu couldn’t help but sigh, “Indeed, the power of food is immense. Look at how quickly things change.”

Fei Xinglan retorted, “Come on, it’s called recognizing the situation and being outstanding. Besides, who can resist food?”

Chapter 12: Blurred Images

After self-study started, the two of them stopped chatting and began to study seriously.

Although their earlier conversation was interrupted and there was a slight unexpected twist, both of them understood in their hearts that the unspoken agreement had already begun.

They would work hard together to get into Class A.

Teacher Cen was carefully reviewing the test papers, while Shen Mu diligently took notes. Even though this was a fictional world, the cultural knowledge systems of both worlds were similar.

Shen Mu used to be a top student, and he didn’t slack off even after entering college. He possessed this knowledge now, but he was a cautious person. He wanted to make a remarkable impression, appearing before Jin Yixiu with a good posture. As an excellent person, he should only be friends with other outstanding individuals.

The person Shen Mu was talking about at that moment, Jin Yixiu, was also uncommonly lost in thought.

Jin Yixiu twirled his pen and looked out the window. What is he doing right now? Is he attentively listening to the class or staring at the test papers with a troubled expression?

Thinking about Shen Mu’s beautiful face wrinkling like a frustrated bun, looking at him with a pitiful and aggrieved gaze, Jin Yixiu couldn’t help but smile.

Suddenly, Jin Yixiu felt a moment of trance. He seemed to truly see a person, even though everything around was blurry, but he felt that it was Shen Mu.

Shen Mu pouted his rosy lips, gazing at him with a helpless look, and coquettishly said, “A-Xiu~ I don’t know how to solve this question. Can you teach me, please?”

The scene ended there, and Jin Yixiu opened his eyes wide, finding that there was nothing in front of him. What just happened? What was that situation? Jin Yixiu, ignorant and unaware, clenched his fist. The scene was so realistic, and Shen Mu’s soft and coquettish voice seemed to be right by his ear. What on earth was going on? That blurred image.

Now, Zhang Wenrou was in charge of the evening self-study session for Class A. She was naturally very concerned about Jin Yixiu, the beloved student of all the teachers. Standing on the podium, she easily noticed Jin Yixiu gazing out the window in a daze. However, she didn’t say anything, just wondering if Jin Yixiu was bothered by something. Why was he frowning? She would ask him later. At this crucial stage, Jin Yixiu couldn’t be influenced by other matters.

Zhang Wenrou continued with her lesson, but when she turned her head, she saw a student holding a pen, motionless, not taking any notes and instead staring blankly at the test paper. How could someone daydream at a time like this?

“Zhang Ze, what are you doing? Take notes! The pen is not for looking good! It’s unbelievable that you’re daydreaming at a time like this!”

Zhang Wenrou’s angry shout brought Jin Yixiu back to his senses. He dismissed those images and focused his attention back to the classroom.

Chapter 13: The Emergence of a Task

In the late evening, the school was still brightly lit. Inside, there were the sounds of teachers instructing, students reading aloud, and the scratching of pens as notes were taken.

Shen Mu rubbed his tired eyes and yawned as he looked at his test paper. He continued to study diligently, going through this stage of learning again, feeling a mixture of helplessness and nostalgia. After understanding what the system had said before, he realized that once he completed the task, he wouldn’t have any other tasks. From that point on, he would be Shen Mu, and Shen Mu would be him.

Shen Mu cherished this second chance he had been given. His current efforts were for his future self and… Shen Mu looked out of the window. Even though he couldn’t see that person, he could imagine his appearance at this moment—still wearing that aloof expression, holding a pen with his fair, slender hand, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, and his long eyelashes fluttering.

A smile unconsciously formed on Shen Mu’s face. This time, I have a new goal—to meet a better person, to be worthy of the person I like.

—

After evening self-study ended, it was already late. Everyone walked back to the dormitory, dragging their exhausted bodies. Shen Mu and Fei Xinglan packed up their belongings and headed to their dormitory. On the way, Shen Mu suddenly remembered something.

“Xinglan, do you know where Jin Yixiu’s dormitory is?” Shen Mu asked.

“Now that you mention it, it’s quite a coincidence. His dormitory is right below ours. I remember he shares a room with Xi Xiangyang. No wonder they became friends, always spending time together day and night,” Fei Xinglan thought for a moment and answered.

Shen Mu felt a little uneasy. Even though they shared the same dormitory, he knew there was nothing between them. Even though he didn’t have the right to be jealous at the moment, he couldn’t control his unhappiness. Is this the trouble of having a crush? Sigh.

The two of them returned to their dormitory. They shared a room.

Fei Xinglan directly pounced onto his soft bed, showing no intention of moving.

“By the way, Shen Mu, Luo Yuan really knows how to buy people’s hearts,” Fei Xinglan lay on his bed, looking at his phone, and said, “I have a friend in Class A who said that Luo Yuan and Liang Feng are planning to treat everyone to a meal when we go home on Friday. They’ve been spreading all sorts of rumors in the class, pretending not to know what you were thinking and expressing regret. They quickly managed to salvage their reputation.”

Fei Xinglan shook his head, expressing disdain, “That classmate said Luo Yuan even mentioned inviting us to join as an apology. Tsk tsk, who wants to go? Just looking at his disgusting face would ruin my appetite.”

Shen Mu also lay on his bed, playing with his phone. As he listened to Fei Xinglan’s words, he wanted to join in and express his dislike for those two as well. But suddenly, a bright light appeared beside him—the task progress table mentioned by the system.

…

Shen Mu glanced to the side, but Fei Xinglan showed no signs of anything unusual. Only he could see the task progress table.

When Shen Mu saw the appearance of the task progress table, he already had a sense that something was not right. Upon closer inspection, it was confirmed—written on it: “Two days later, attend the gathering organized by the main character. It is one of the task points. Please proceed and, when the main character is pretending to hit you, let the main character see it and give you a slap. The task will be considered completed once the progress table lights up.”
