Chapter 100 But for Your Sake

Before the bun shop, steam billowed.

“I want three braised pork buns, two vegetable buns, one fried dough stick, and one black soybean milk,” Jiang Nian said when he reached the front, then turned to glance at Xu Qianqian and added, “Also, one vegetable bun and one red bean milk.”

Just as he was about to pay, Xu Qianqian quickly scanned the code, and with a ‘beep,’ the payment went through.

“I’ll get it.”

“Hmm?” Jiang Nian looked at her suspiciously, “Xu Qianqian, what bad deed did you do to try and earn Karma on me?”

Facts prove, one is influenced by his company.

“You’re the one doing bad deeds! Can’t some maternal love from a dream linger?” Xu Qianqian’s mouth was quite stubborn, though he didn’t know if it was soft when she held it in her mouth.

“Whatever you say. You treated me to buns, so I’ll give you a gift another day.” Jiang Nian walked along the road, sharing the buns with Xu Qianqian, deliberately giving her an extra vegetable bun.

“You have too much money?”

“You know that?” He walked forward at a steady pace, taking a bite of his fried dough stick. “Actually, I found a million-dollar check, and I have to spend money on others to get it.”

“You’re sick.”

“You know that too? You must have peeked at my medical records, right? As expected, you have me in your heart, and you love me even more, baby.”

Xu Qianqian was almost desensitized to Jiang Nian’s occasional antics, and hearing him call her ‘baby’ didn’t faze her much. However, the phrase “you have me in your heart” pricked her.

She suddenly felt a little guilty and quickened her pace, widening the distance between them.

“Too lazy to indulge your madness.”

The autumn air was slightly cool.

Walking to school, Wu Jungu looked up at the sparse branches above his head.

A wave of fatigue washed over him, making him almost close his eyes.

He had always boarded at his aunt’s house, and after much difficulty, he convinced his parents to let him live at school, but the procedures got stuck.

His girlfriend Yu Zhiyue, on the other hand, had hers approved, which made him even more anxious and uneasy.

Last night, he messaged Jiang Nian privately, but the latter said he couldn’t do anything. It probably wasn’t Old Liu deliberately stalling; Old Liu had no reason to do so.

His girlfriend was not used to living at school and secretly cried on the first night.

She silently shed tears under her blanket while telling him on the phone about the breakdown of living at school.

Her roommate called her delicate, mimicked her crying, and mocked her.

Washing clothes was inconvenient, showering took a long time, getting water was troublesome, and her roommate loved to shout.

Wu Jungu didn’t know what to say, so he could only force himself to stay awake, comforting her repeatedly.

But unexpectedly, his girlfriend Yu Zhiyue angrily blurted out,

“Everything you’re saying is completely useless to me!”

At that moment, Wu Jungu was no longer sleepy, but he couldn’t sleep either. He kept thinking, wanting to say something.

But thinking about his girlfriend’s current situation, he swallowed his grievances.

So, what was the point of him doing so much?

Buzz buzz!

His phone vibrated, and Wu Jungu looked down at WeChat.

Zhi Woyi: “Have you had breakfast?”

His girlfriend Yu Zhiyue’s name had been deleted by him; it used to be ‘Baby,’ but now it was back to the default nickname.

Nanfeng: “Yes.”

Wu Jungu’s online name was originally ‘But For You,’ but he changed it after he started dating. Along with it, his avatar, signature, and personality also changed.

Zhi Woyi: “I’m sorry, what I said last night was too harsh. I get very irritable when things happen, and I didn’t mean to blame you. I really can’t control it.”

Wu Jungu looked at the messages popping up in the WeChat chat box and couldn’t help but soften.

“It’s okay, never mind.”

Yu Zhiyue came from a difficult family background and was bullied in junior high school in her hometown.

Later, her whole family moved to the county town, and she only gradually became more cheerful after entering high school.

He first got to know her through late-night chats, and he was always comforting her. He talked with her about her past and various troubles.

At first, it was just infatuation, then it was compassion.

He wanted to save something, perhaps he could pull her out of her past shadows. That’s what he thought at the time, but things didn’t go as planned.

Zhi Woyi: “Not angry anymore?”

He replied, “Not angry.”

After thinking for a moment, he added,

“Have you eaten?”

Zhi Woyi: “I can’t eat. Shall we have lunch together? (Smile)”

“Okay.”

The school gate was crowded with people. Looking up and down, he had already reached the classroom door.

Wu Jungu’s phone was on silent. When he returned to his seat, he found that Jiang Nian had arrived early. He seemed to be listening to Zhang Ningzhi explain a problem, and the two were chatting and laughing, which made him a little envious.

He and his girlfriend used to be like that, but unfortunately, they couldn’t go back.

As soon as he sat down, Jiang Nian poked his back.

“Hey, Brother Jun, are you going to talk to Old Liu today?”

Wu Jungu thought for a moment and nodded.

“Yes.”

Jiang Nian was slightly stunned. He wanted to persuade him but decided against it. Respect other people’s fate.

“He’s probably in the office during the long break.”

“Okay, thanks.”

He had chatted with Wu Jungu for a while last night and had a general understanding of his situation.

Originally, Jiang Nian envied Brother Jun for having a well-endowed girlfriend on Monday, after all, not everyone gets the chance to experience that kind of touch. But then he realized that this woman was not a good person.

If Zhou Yuting was the standard for a wicked woman, then Wu Jungu’s little girlfriend was probably three times worse.

Zhou Yuting was indeed a piece of work, a bit of a green tea, uncaring of others’ feelings. She liked to use people to achieve her goals, liked to fish, and made people jealous.

However, someone like her wouldn’t easily give herself away, so her harm was limited.

The scariest thing is encountering an emotionally unstable girl; she will share her pain with you. She will drag the people closest to her into an emotional vortex, with no peace.

Emotional at the drop of a hat, emo, depressed, bipolar, somatic. Don’t follow me, I want to be alone for a while, you just don’t understand me.

Being Zhou Yuting’s simp won’t get you into a top university. Dating Brother Jun’s girlfriend, save it, you won’t even pass the college entrance exam, and not being depressed would be considered good.

So, Jiang Nian simply dismissed the matter.

After the long break.

Li Hua, Ma Guojun, Jiang Nian, and Lin Dong gathered at a large window, staring blankly at the playground. The four of them were all burly men, completely blocking the aisle.

Jiang Nian, with a cool expression, said, “Let’s bet. I bet we won’t run laps. Whoever loses gets an Aruba.”

Li Hua swallowed hard. He was usually the one who got Aruba-ed the most. Now, finally, he had a chance to turn the tables, and he couldn’t help but clench his fists.

“I bet we will run laps! I’m definitely going to win.”

Jiang Nian turned his head, “Hua, your statement sounds like a loser.”

Ma Guojun chimed in, “The playground is almost dry, so there’s a high probability that the stupid leader will make us run laps, so I choose not to run laps.”

Li Hua directly mocked, “Weakling.”

Lin Dong was participating in this kind of small group betting activity for the first time, and he was extremely nervous. He suddenly admired Jiang Nian for being able to get along so well with Li Hua and Ma Guojun.

Li Hua’s father was from the procuratorate. Ma Guojun’s father was from the People’s Hospital. Not many people in the class knew about this, but those who wanted to know could find out.

Lin Dong found out by accident and then didn’t know how to talk to these people. To avoid offending anyone, he chose to go with the flow.

“I don’t think we’ll have to run laps.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the broadcast crackled, and someone tapped the microphone.

“Hello, hello!!”

“Ah, announcement! The Grade 3 running exercise is canceled! I repeat, the Grade 3 running exercise is canceled!”

“Nice!” The class cheered.

“Let’s go! Buy food at the cafeteria! No need to run laps!”

With a whoosh, a third of the class instantly slumped onto their desks, and a quarter left their seats.

Unfortunately, human joys and sorrows are not interconnected. A traitor in Olympiad Class 3 jumped out and brazenly uttered the most desperate outrageous statement.

“No! How can we not run laps! Ah, are you an idiot!”

This act undoubtedly aroused public anger. The eighteen arhats of the class all turned their heads, their eyes glowing red as they stared at Li Hua.

Jiang Nian and the other two laughed, and without even needing to be called, a group of boys surged forward.

“I’ll grab his hand!”

“Got his feet! Lift him out, lift him out!”

In the chaos, a boy was tripped by a desk. He stumbled a few steps and was about to fall, his direction Just right was towards Zhang Ningzhi’s desk, which was against the wall.

Zhang Ningzhi heard the shout and subconsciously turned her head, almost scared senseless.

Just as he was about to collide, a pair of hands suddenly grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to the side, and then a figure directly cut through the gap, forcefully blocking the way.
