Chapter 73.4 – Extra: Sweet Youth (Part 1)

— STATUS: Unedited —

　　Undaunted, Jiang Dai swallowed down her frustration. “You should at least make a sound of acknowledgement if you’ve heard what I’ve said. All you have to do is to approach the homeroom teacher once the math lesson has ended and tell her that you’ve only just transferred to this school. I’m sure she won’t reject your request.”

　　Pursing his light-colored thin lips, the young man finally decided to open his mouth to speak. Yet, his cold voice was tinged with provocation. “Why should I?”

　　As soon as his words fell, Jiang Dai was at a loss for words and stared at him in disbelief.

　　‘What the f*ck did I just hear?! “Why should I”?!?!?!’

　　With that in mind, Jiang Dai gasped, “Because I’m your father! Capeesh?”

　　Enunciating every word very carefully, the young man spoke with perfect Chinese pronunciation and even had a slight Yanjing accent.

　　“Every student has to share a desk with another, so why should you be entitled to special privileges?”

　　At this juncture, Jiang Dai was practically suspected that he was not even listening to the lesson, but instead, he was just in a bit of a trance.

　　With that in mind, raw anger shot through her. However, the lesson was still ongoing and was the homeroom teacher’s math lesson, of all subjects.

　　Even though she often skipped lessons without being caught, it was on the premise that she would not stir up any trouble. Even if she was an underachiever, she kept to herself, which was another reason the teachers had no issues with her.

　　Now that she was in the classroom, she could not make too much of a ruckus.

　　Gnashing her teeth, she thought, ‘Think you’re so great, huh? Sure, I’ll take up the role of a tyrant who bullies others and teaches this new student a lesson on how to conduct himself!!!’

　　“One should never act pretentiously whenever they wish to.

　　Otherwise, it would be a matter of time before they were struck by lightning.”

　　——Jiang Dai

……

　　The lesson had finally come to an end.

　　Yet, the transfer student made no move to stand up as he remained seated at his desk, flipping through his book.

　　Speechless with rage, Jiang Dai sprang to her feet and pulled both Bai Zhi and Zhao Chuyi to the sports field.

　　After hearing what had transpired in class, Bai Zhi roared with laughter, no longer caring about Jiang Dai’s dignity. “No, stop, stop! My stomach hurts too much from laughing so much! Was he seriously that unyielding? Gosh, to think that a transfer student would be so unyielding on his first day. Hah! I’ve got nothing to say to that. I mean, you’ve got to hand it to him.”

　　Even Zhao Chuyi found it inconceivable as well. “Student Huo really said……why should he? That bluntly?”

　　Upon hearing their utterance, Jiang Dai rolled her eyes at them.

　　Eventually, Bai Zhi’s laughter died down before quickly tugging on Jiang Dai’s arm to coax her. “Come on, stop rolling your eyes. At this rate, your eyes will get stuck that way. You know, Student Huo may just be a handsome guy who’s cold on the outside but passionate on the inside. Since there are only over 30 students in our class, it’s always pretty empty at the back of the classroom. So what’s wrong with adding another table? Who knows, the reason he doesn’t want to add another table might just be that he has fallen in love with you at first sight because you’ve swept him off his feet with your beauty? Hence, he can’t bear to leave after taking the spot next to you and wants to cling to you.”

　　“……I’d really like to smack you upside the head, Bai Zhizhi.”

***

　　Before long, school ended at midday. 

　　Seeing that class ended early today, the school bully from science stream’s Class 8, Qiao Jinye, made his way to the entrance of Jiang Dai’s classroom with several buddies.

　　As soon as Jiang Dai stepped out of the classroom, her eyes swept over them. One look was all it took to determine that she appeared rather dispirited today.

　　Qiao Jinye could not refrain from extending his hand to pinch her tender cheeks lightly and laughed, “What’s the matter, babe? You look crestfallen. Who has offended you?”

　　Noticing that Jiang Dai did not look very well today, Qiao Jinye’s follower, Li Kai, asked, “What’s wrong? It’s rare to see Sister Dai look like this. Did you get in a fight with Boss?”

　　Jiang Dai shook her head. “No, it’s the new transfer student.”

　　Qiao Jinye had long since heard that the transfer student, who would be joining the science stream’s Class 1, was very handsome. At an instant, Jiang Dai’s words had an alarm going off in his head, so he asked, “What’s wrong with the transfer student?”

　　With that, Jiang Dai recounted the classroom seating matter to him.

　　By the end of it, Li Kai laughed, “Boy, is this guy amazing! To think he actually dares to be so unyielding before Sister Dai! This fella is by no means an ordinary person.”

　　Needless to say, there was an inexplicable sense of unease lurking within his body. Lowering his head, he wrapped his arm around Jiang Dai’s shoulder. “Why don’t I grab a few buddies and pay him a visit after school this afternoon?”

　　Pushing his arm away, Jiang Dai exclaimed, “No! I’m going to handle this myself! Forget it, let’s have lunch first.”

The author has something to say:

This marks the beginning of the first extra arc, which mainly focuses on the storyline from the parallel universe interspersed with the ex-husband from the real world chasing his wife to the crematorium. The parallel universe is set on campus and pretty much follows a drama queen’s aloof boyfriend, who is also a school bully and loves to flatter her.

Chairman Liang: Can you believe it? My alternate self in the parallel world is the Student Union President, while a certain leading billionaire is an ordinary transfer student.

Brother Ye: Can you believe it? A sidekick has turned into a school bully!

B*st*rd Huo: I would never have believed that my ex-wife in another world is actually a Sea Empress¹ 海王: It’s an internet slang that often refers to a cute male who often picks up/chases numerous girls simultaneously (mostly without the girls knowing). The number of girls he is building a relationship with is unaccountable, just like fish in the sea. As such, some people believe that this term originates from the DC film, Aquaman since he is able to communicate with marine life. .
