Chapter 27 I am a fragile online emperor

Yu Tongjie was a very strict person with himself, and was known as Brother Strict.

The principle of being strict with oneself and lenient with others did not apply to him. He believed that if one was strict with oneself, one should also be strict with others.

Such a person regarded everyone else as an idiot.

Regarding the promotion, he felt it was the result he deserved after a year of hard work. In his eyes, Zhang Ningzhi was the same type of person as him.

Jiang Nian was not.

The myth of improving by one or two hundred points over a single summer vacation was simply an insult to someone like him who studied diligently, akin to being slapped in the face with a slipper.

Cheating, it was most likely cheating.

These past two days, he had always actively answered questions in class, but Jiang Nian had never taken the initiative. During breaks, he always saw him turning his head and joking around with the person in the back seat.

When the October joint exam came, Jiang Nian would be exposed for what he truly was.

Zhang Ningzhi, who was promoted with them, seemed unable to see through all this. Seeing her distracted in class, he worried that she would eventually be led astray by someone like Jiang Nian.

10:30 PM, Nanjiang Bay.

Zhang Ningzhi stood on the balcony, enjoying the night breeze and looking at the county town’s night view, feeling incredibly troubled.

Integrating into the new group was even harder than she imagined; the girls in the class all seemed to have their own small cliques. Some people did interact with her, but only to ask a few questions.

However, what bothered her more was Jiang Nian.

This person had clearly spoken to her on the morning they were promoted, but after making new classmates, he barely spoke to her anymore, even though she had subtly hinted at it.

Heartless man, her little tissue was wasted!

Yesterday, she didn’t say a word to Jiang Nian, nor did she speak to anyone in the classroom.

Wuwuwu~~

She leaned on the railing of her room’s small balcony, agonizing over whether to proactively add Jiang Nian’s QQ. Would he dislike her? Had she done something wrong?

Beep beep beep!!!

The computer’s notification sound rang in the room, startling her, and she immediately ran inside.

Jiang Nian finally remembered to add her. He had even openly pulled out his phone in class to add a girl who was very good at blowing bubblegum, but he hadn’t added her.

Although that bubblegum was blown big and round, that was no excuse!

I was here first!

Hmph, I’ll ignore him for a night, pretend I fell asleep. I’ll accept his request tomorrow morning, so he can also experience what it feels like to be abandoned!

Never mind, I’ll ignore him for ten minutes.

Beep beep. The moment her plump bottom settled on the computer chair, she eagerly clicked on the contacts list. Sure enough, it was… oh, classmate Yu Tongjie.

Zhang Ningzhi let go of the mouse and sighed very realistically.

The other party’s verification message only had a name, indicating an addition from within the class group. After a few minutes of silence, out of politeness, she initiated a temporary chat.

She wanted to see what the other party needed first; if it wasn’t important, she wouldn’t casually add people.

She liked to post updates in her personal space but didn’t want to constantly block certain groups. For example, she didn’t want casual acquaintances to see photos of her travels to other places.

Once rumors spread, making friends would become even more difficult.

Lemon Branch: “(Smile)”

On the other side, Yu Tongjie had just finished showering and received Zhang Ningzhi’s reply. Seeing it was a temporary chat, he found it strange that she didn’t accept the request, but he didn’t pay too much attention to it.

As long as he explained clearly, she would eventually understand his good intentions.

In his opinion, he and Zhang Ningzhi were the same type of people. First, they both studied hard and were promoted. Second, their family backgrounds were both relatively affluent.

Third, she was very beautiful, the kind of beauty that was enough to get one isolated.

Coincidentally, he had also been isolated.

Therefore, Yu Tongjie felt that he and Zhang Ningzhi should have common topics. Jiang Nian would eventually fall back, and he and she should help each other adapt to the new group.

“How is your relationship with Jiang Nian?” he messaged, asking.

On the other side, Zhang Ningzhi, who had already stood up, instinctively sat back down in her chair when she saw the words “Jiang Nian.” What did he mean?

“It’s alright.”

She used the phrase “it’s alright” to conceal more than it revealed, adding a “ba” for a buffer. Whether it was good, or how good, the right to interpret was hers.

In the new class, the person she was most familiar with was Jiang Nian, who had spoken to her first and helped move tables and chairs.

Actually, she really wanted to ask, “Classmate, you are…” The name Yu Tongjie sounded somewhat familiar, but she was too nervous on stage to remember whose name it was.

Yu Tongjie: “I don’t recommend you associate with him, truly.”

Zhang Ningzhi looked at the new message, utterly bewildered. He… who was he? Why was he telling her who she could associate with? Besides, in the new class, she only knew Jiang Nian.

If she didn’t associate with him, was she supposed to associate with you?!

“Why?”

“Because he was promoted by cheating. There’s no proof yet, but according to the latest information I’ve received, it’s highly likely. There’s no need for you to associate with him.”

“I’m just reminding you as a classmate. It’s not easy to get promoted from the parallel class. We all put in tremendous effort, doing practice papers every day and staying up late to memorize things.”

“So, I don’t want to see your efforts go to waste. If you associate with someone who doesn’t study like Jiang Nian, you’ll eventually be led astray by him and return to the parallel class.”

In front of the computer, Zhang Ningzhi froze, looking at the long paragraph of text that popped up in the temporary window. She didn’t know why, but she suddenly felt incredibly angry, her hands trembling.

Jiang Nian did not cheat, she was in the same exam room as him!

He would prepare diligently for every exam, always arriving at the exam room early. There were no cheat sheets on his desk, and he took the exam properly without any small movements.

How dare he! To dismiss all of someone’s efforts with just a few words!

She almost trembled as she typed a few words on the keyboard.

“Jiang Nian did not cheat!”

On the other side, Yu Tongjie frowned. Zhang Ningzhi was too naive. She was easily deceived by Jiang Nian. Well, if such a person cheated, what else couldn’t he say?

“That’s just how it is. He was still at the bottom of the parallel class at the end of last semester.”

Plop, a tear fell on the computer desk. Zhang Ningzhi’s eyes were red. She really wanted to curse back, but she didn’t know how to curse, so she just closed the window.

She had been accused of cheating before, and was suspected for a long time. She had experienced those dark days and knew the bitter taste of being suspected.

She opened the class group, found Jiang Nian in the group chat members, and clicked ‘add’. For the verification message, she filled in ‘Zhang Ningzhi’, thought for a moment, and added the words ’tissue’ as well.

Beep beep, it was almost instantly accepted.

【Jiang Yue Nian Nian Wang Xiang Si】: “Hmm? You’re also staying up late?”

Zhang Ningzhi wiped away her tears, then suddenly smiled. She had wanted to tell him what had just happened, but she didn’t want him to think she was being too talkative.

So she said, “(Awkward) Someone was speaking ill of you.”

Jiang Nian: “That person wouldn’t be you, would it?”

Zhang Ningzhi’s face flushed, “Of course not.”

“Then who?”
