Chapter 74.2 – Extra: Sweet Youth (Part 2)

— STATUS: Unedited —

　　On seeing this, he could not help but halt dead in his tracks and knit his brows.

　　At the same time, his classmates also noticed the strange look on Liang Jingche’s countenance.

　　One of them sneered, “Tsk! Qiao Jinye usually bullies people wherever he goes, whether on or outside the campus. It has come to the point where people are afraid of him, yet he’s here simping for Jiang Dai.”

　　Another laughed, “Hahahaha! Those simping for others usually end up with nothing at all.”

　　“That may be so, but he’s been hanging out with Jiang Dai since their first year, right? He would have an advantage over you since he has known Jiang Dai for a long time. So don’t you think you should be working faster, Jingche? It’d be such a waste if that punk succeeds.”

　　“I second that too. Dang, Qiao Jinye sure knows how to simp for someone, so you better step up your game, President Liang.”

　　Disregarding their assumptions, the corner of Liang Jingche’s mouth raised up into a smile. “They are merely friends, and Jiang Dai is still single. If she were to have a boyfriend, that person would definitely be me.”

　　“Since Jingche is so outstanding, there have always been girls taking a fancy of him since our first year, and there were also middle school girls giving him love letters. So why do you think he fancies Jiang Dai, of all people?”

　　“Hahaha! I doubt we’ll ever understand this sort of thing…… Perhaps even the most outstanding person would love to simp for others, especially when it comes to first loves. It’s said that this is always the case when one falls in love for the first time.”

　　“If you ask me, I think it’s still due to her gorgeous face. I mean, who else can compete against Jiang Dai’s beauty? Regardless of how many girls liking Jingche, none of them are as beautiful as Jiang Dai.”

　　“That’s true. Not only is Jiang Dai beautiful, but she also has an amazing figure. Sure, our school may have countless good-looking girls, but they are usually flat-chested and scrawny. Which high school student has such an amazing figure like hers? I’ve got to say she is indeed a stunner.”

　　“Tsk, tsk, tsk. There’s no doubt that high school girls usually have yet to mature at that age, but now that I think about it, a deadly weapon like Jiang Dai…… With just one glance, anyone can tell she has been sleeping around quite a bit, and I’m not surprised if it is with well-endowed guys. So do you guys think the President is far too innocent to think that the person he likes is a young Sea Empress who just loves to flirt for fun? Who knows, Qiao Jinye and her could have already…… Otherwise, why would Qiao Jinye be willing to simp for her? Who would go THAT far unless they have already tasted the sweet end of it?”

　　Upon hearing that, the look of indifference on Liang Jingche’s face morphed into ire.

　　Ever since he was first acquainted with her, Jiang Dai had always been this way. However, it was this sort of personality that would garner a plethora of criticism.

　　Yet, Jiang Dai was simply unconcerned about it. That was why he did not even bring himself to be bothered with it at all.

　　However, this time he just happened to overhear such explicit words from those close to him. Hence, it was an entirely different story.

　　Without a second thought, Liang Jingche walked past them in long strides. Gasping silently, they began feeling their stomach churn with guilt and lingering fear. In a split second, he stopped and turned around.

　　Needless to say, they were so terrified that they shut their mouths one after another.

　　“Jingche……”

　　“President……”

　　At this juncture, Liang Jingche’s face was void of all expression. “Don’t let me catch you speaking ill of any girls behind their back. Otherwise, I’ll just treat it like I’ve never known you at all, for I, Liang Jingche, will never associate myself with disreputable and garrulous men.”

*****

　　At midday, Jiang Dai stayed in the internet cafe for over two hours and only made her way back to school at the end of the first afternoon lesson.

　　That pretentious transfer student, who was keen on feigning ignorance, was seated at his desk. On seeing this, anger stirred within Jiang Dai. Yet, she felt so laden with sleepiness that her heavy eyelids began closing involuntarily. Before she knew it, she found herself falling asleep with her head on her desk.

　　With that, she slept till school ended for the day at five-thirty in the afternoon.

　　In a WeChat group chat, Qiao Jinye asked whether she wanted to catch a film with him.

　　As such, Jiang Dai sent a voice message. “I can’t make it today. I’ve got to head back early since my dad’s at home.”

　　When it came to her mum, she would more often than not spoil Jiang Dai excessively, so much so that she pretty much placed her daughter’s happiness over everything else.

　　On the other hand, her dad would discipline her somewhat. However, due to his hectic work schedule and frequent business trips, he spent the majority of his time abroad. Whenever he was not out on a business trip, he would usually stay home. As such, Jiang Dai would have to behave more appropriately and could not do whatever she pleased. The first four days of the week, in particular, were days she had to return home early

　　By the time she was done packing her bag, she had come to realize that the oversized behemoth was still sitting next to her. Who knew what he was dilly-dallying about?

　　Just when she was about to lash out after holding her breath, the young man somehow could sense what she was planning to do. As soon as he was done packing his things, he unhurriedly got to his feet and grabbed his school bag before heading for the door.

　　Seeing how things had panned out, all the curses Jiang Dai wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

　　‘F*ck, he’s being all pretentious again. Why would a perfectly fine person with decent looks not want to act like a normal human being? To think that someone as young as he was would carry a school bag that looked like a briefcase and a leather one at that! Did he not think that it was bizarre?’

　　The way he carried his bag, the way he wore his school uniform neatly, and the way he sat at his desk the entire day without creasing his clothes. Regardless of how she looked at this transfer student, Jiang Dai just found him to be unpleasant to the eye. 

　　Evidently, this was only a mediocre second-year student, yet he held himself as though he was a successful adult! How pretentious of him!

　　With that in mind, Jiang Dai cursed at him silently.

　　At the same time, Liang Jingche stepped through the door and entered the classroom. As he brushed past the transfer student who possessed outstanding features, Liang Jingche could not help but glance sideways at him.

　　It seemed as though the transfer student had also cast a glance at Liang Jingche. It was just that his gaze was so cold that ice had settled in the depths of his eyes.

　　Even so, Liang Jingche made a beeline for the last row before placing a large bag on Jiang Dai’s table.

　　Unceremoniously, Jiang Dai opened the bag and popped her head in. Without a single conveyance, she first took out a bag of her favorite candy floss and opened it. Tearing off a chunk of it, she shoved it in her mouth.
