Chapter Index

    The moment Zhou Yuting threw the gift away, a group of boys not far away burst into laughter.

    “Hahaha, what a country bumpkin!”

    “Holy crap, I’m dying of laughter.”

    “Isn’t this the big boss of Gotham City? Haven’t seen him in a few days, how did he get so pathetic?”

    “Damn, what fell on the ground? Isn’t this your identity? Keep your kings safe, a man of taste always has a full set of IDs.”

    Jiang Nian grinned, he was only watching the show, but almost burst out laughing.

    “Where did this stray dog come from?”

    The people around immediately roared with laughter.

    Zhang Xiaofan didn’t care about others’ sarcasm, but he did when he heard Jiang Nian call him a stray dog. New grudges and old resentments combined, and he almost couldn’t hold it in.

    “What the hell did you say!”

    With that, he wanted to replicate the flying kick from the last class break.

    And it felt pretty good on that idiot.

    Before he could rush forward, two boys walked out from beside Jiang Nian.

    “So what if he said you?”

    Immediately after, two or three more boys emerged from the shadows of a pillar on the other side. The two groups, one in front and one behind, directly blocked the corridor.

    Zhang Xiaofan was stunned, secretly thinking he had miscalculated.

    Originally, for the sake of being low-key, he hadn’t brought his lackeys upstairs. In the past, he was always the one who brought people to corner others; when had he ever been cornered?

    “What do you guys want to do! I’m on the school team! Don’t mess around, I’ve remembered all your Faces.”

    Jiang Nian walked out from the crowd and stopped in front of Zhang Xiaofan.

    “What are you mumbling about?”

    Zhang Xiaofan wanted to leave, but found there was no way behind him, somewhat regretting why he had acted impulsively at the beginning.

    With people watching, he naturally didn’t want to lose Face, so he had to tough it out.

    “Jiang Nian, what do you want!”

    “I still want to ask what you want, you’re not trying to hit me, are you?” Jiang Nian stepped forward, directly stepping on Zhang Xiaofan’s shoe, and said.

    “Come on, I’ll give you a chance, hit me.”

    Lin Dong, Li Hua, Liu Yang and the others were there purely to make up the numbers. It’s not that they hadn’t seen a Encirclement, but this was the first time they were experiencing it in first-person.

    On one hand, it was because Zhang Xiaofan had clearly been enraged just now, directly coming for Jiang Nian, so they naturally stood out.

    On the other hand, this person had kicked Sun Zhicheng during the last class break.

    This intensified their dislike for Zhang Xiaofan, and their gazes towards him were unfriendly. It was like a fight was about to break out in the next second… no, it should be a group beating.

    But no matter how much the atmosphere suggested it, the ‘harshest’ scenario these few imagined was just a few shoves and some harsh words.

    However, when Jiang Nian stepped on Zhang Xiaofan’s shoe.

    Lin Dong and the others were instantly stunned, their eyes almost simultaneously looking at Jiang Nian. Their expressions gradually changed from confusion to horror.

    Bro, are you that skilled?

    “Are you sick? Who said I was going to hit…” Zhang Xiaofan was stepped on, but he only dared to retreat, “I don’t understand what you’re saying, I’m leaving.”

    He swallowed with a gulp.

    Every dog has its day.

    Zhang Xiaofan wasn’t afraid of Jiang Nian, but at this moment, he was surrounded. And with Jiang Nian, this old fox, probing him step by step, his psychological defenses were breaking down bit by bit.

    Jiang Nian was unfazed, and stepped on Zhang Xiaofan’s shoe again.

    “Alright, it’s symmetrical now.”

    He’s really sick!

    Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth and chose to endure.

    “You mark my words.”

    After uttering the threat, he lowered his head and pushed his way out of the encirclement. He didn’t pick up the necklace on the ground; it wasn’t worth anything, he had made several sets.

    Besides Zhou Yuting, he had also given them to two girls in second and third year high school.

    Unlike Zhou Yuting’s reaction, those two girls, seeing his lavish attire, didn’t frown because the gift was cheap; instead, they were deeply moved.

    Others might not understand, but this was emotional value.

    However, he was a slow-to-warm-up person in relationships, so affection needed time to settle. A handmade necklace, what it conveyed was precisely his time.

    In the corridor.

    “Damn it, who is this BYD, he seems to know you?” Li Hua asked.

    “Who knows, too many people have a crush on me.” Jiang Nian said nonchalantly, “It’s normal to have a few gays, probably love turning into hate.”

    Upon hearing this, the others were quite shocked and no longer had the heart to ask about that person.

    “Have you done similar things before? How are you so skilled?” Lin Dong spoke, asking a question that concerned several of them.

    “Yeah, yeah, holy crap, it was terrifying.”

    “Naughty boy, step on mine.”

    Hearing this, Jiang Nian also looked puzzled.

    “No, I just saw that person do it before. On a whim, I wanted to try stepping on his shoes to see how it felt.”

    “If I weren’t in the same class as Brother Nian, I’d definitely walk around him in the future.” Liu Yang said, then asked, “Brother Nian, are his shoes very expensive?”

    Liu Yang liked sports and often bought sportswear and shoes.

    Clothes were fine, the most expensive being six or seven hundred. But sneakers were unpredictable, ranging from three or four hundred to… one or two thousand, or even five thousand.

    Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but worry for Jiang Nian.

    “He wouldn’t be that petty, would he?”

    “You have to pay for stepping on them twice? Are the shoes made of gold?”

    “Who cares, even if you don’t give it to him, what can he do?”

    Jiang Nian touched his Face, not caring.

    “It’s fine, whatever shoes they are, he’s just babbling. If he really starts saying something, then just stuff his shoes in the trash can.”

    Everyone fell silent.

    Thinking of that scene, they felt this idea was a bit too vicious.

    The bell rang, and they returned to the classroom for self-study.

    Jiang Nian was inevitably grilled by Zhang Ningzhi, who had heard the rumors, and could only half-truthfully explain, which successfully fooled her.

    It wasn’t that he didn’t want to explain, but he didn’t want to make her worry.

    In reality, it was nothing. Zhang Xiaofan was nothing. A small fry not even worthy of a name on the table, relying on money and connections to gain a little sense of superiority.

    Jiang Nian wasn’t afraid of him in any way. After all, it was their final year, and the school team members also faced graduation and college entrance pressure, so not many people truly listened to him.

    Moreover, if Zhang Xiaofan really had the ability.

    Jiang Nian would have suffered at his hands in his first and second years of high school. However, he didn’t have that ability then, and he certainly doesn’t have it now.

    Verdict: an idiot.

    Self-study passed by minute by minute, and with a buzz, his phone rang.

    Jiang Nian glanced at his phone under the desk; it was a message from Chen Yunyun. She was also asking about what had just happened, probably having heard the news from Lin Dong.

    He spent a few minutes blindly typing under the desk to muddle through it.

    Self-study passed by minute by minute, and during the short break between the third and fourth self-study periods.

    Sun Zhicheng got up and greeted Cai Xiaoqing, holding a pack of tissues. Cai Xiaoqing nodded, and he exited through the back door of the classroom.

    However, he didn’t go to the restroom. Instead, he stealthily went downstairs, using the cover of the second-year students leaving school to exit the school, stopping at the front gate.

    Among a row of electric bikes, he found Zhang Xiaofan’s bike, a cool black matte-finished electric bike.

    “You kicked me?”

    “Today I’ll make you pay your blood debt!”

    With that, Sun Zhicheng, wearing a mask, took out the 520 glue he had prepared earlier from his pocket. He aimed it at the keyhole and poured it in, then quickly left after finishing.

    He had checked when he acted; there were no surveillance cameras in this area.

    There were many people, and he made a gesture as if he was inserting a key.

    After plugging the keyhole, he left, his movements smooth and fluid.

    Sun Zhicheng walked back to school, changing his mask and jacket. He walked back against the cold wind, entering the school through a different gate for self-study.

    As for why he didn’t puncture the tires.

    He had observed earlier that an ordinary compass couldn’t pierce them. Lacking tools, he decided to find a suitable tool next time and puncture his tires when he passed by!

    Thinking of this, Sun Zhicheng couldn’t help but clench his fists.

    He was trembling slightly from nervousness, thinking to himself that a gentleman’s revenge is not overnight, and he was indeed a man!

    After evening self-study.

    Jiang Nian greeted Zhang Ningzhi and was about to leave. Before leaving, he looked at her bag of clothes.

    “Wearing it tomorrow?”

    “Mm-hmm.” Zhang Ningzhi was in a good mood.

    “Alright, then I’ll look forward to seeing it tomorrow, bye-bye.” Jiang Nian, carrying his bag, waved to her and was about to leave the classroom, “You should also go back early.”

    “Mm.” The girl nodded.

    Routine descent to the third floor.

    Jiang Nian glanced over and noticed someone standing next to Xu Qianqian.

    “Hmm? Why aren’t you going home?”

    Song Xiyun stood timidly beside Xu Qianqian, and seeing Jiang Nian, she couldn’t help but shrink her neck.

    I.

    “Tch, what does it matter to you!” Xu Qianqian stepped forward, puffing out her chest, and said, “Xiyun isn’t going back tonight, she’s sleeping with me.”

    “Damn, playing lesbian, are we?” Jiang Nian was stunned.

    “What nonsense are you talking about, bah, bah, bah!” Xu Qianqian glared at him, leading Song Xiyun downstairs, “The Coming-of-Age Ceremony is tomorrow, don’t you know?”

    “And then?” Jiang Nian asked.

    “Idiot, the Coming-of-Age Ceremony doesn’t start until nine tomorrow morning.” Xu Qianqian said, “It’s inconvenient for Xiyun to change clothes, so of course she’s with me.”

    “Oh, I see.”

    Xu Qianqian elbowed him, “Stop playing dead! Treat us to a late-night snack!”
