Chapter 344 Grabbed in one swift motion…

Jiang Nian didn’t remember what Lu Xuan’s family did, but from the looks of it, she had been pampered since childhood.

He didn’t expect her to be so gossipy?

Indeed, one cannot judge a book by its cover, nor a nimble dog in the mountains by its appearance.

Seeing that the other party had softened and became extremely respectful, his tone also became slightly gentler.

“Ask away.”

“Thanks, bro.” Lu Xuan smiled awkwardly, then sat down in the seat opposite him. “Did you, like, do that in junior high?”

“Hey!” Jiang Nian keenly noticed the trap and waved his hand to stop her. “Don’t throw dirt on me; a straight body fears no crooked shadow.”

Lu Xuan looked confused. “I haven’t even said what ‘that’ is yet.”

“You’re trying to say ‘that,’ aren’t you?” Jiang Nian pointed at her, warning, “Don’t think that just because we’re classmates, you can talk nonsense.”

“Which ‘that’?” Lu Xuan asked.

“Do…” Jiang Nian hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.

“No, no!” Lu Xuan stood up abruptly, her Face almost red. “That’s not what I meant, you misunderstood.”

“Don’t rush, don’t rush, sit down and talk,” Jiang Nian comforted. “My Japanese friend, have you adapted well to China after a few years?”

That one sentence from someone made Lu Xuan’s Face turn completely red. Half was from embarrassment, half from anger. At the same time, she realized that this person in front of her kept changing the subject. She couldn’t beat around the bush anymore, otherwise, she wouldn’t get any answers.

“I actually wanted to ask, in the first semester of ninth grade, did you get into… kickboxing?” Lu Xuan asked very tactfully.

Hearing this, Jiang Nian was stunned.

“In 1974, I did…” “Bro, stop with the memes.” Lu Xuan was speechless. “Don’t hide it anymore. I have no other motive; I just want to ask…” She paused for a moment, then spoke.

“I just want to know, was it because of a girl back then that you… And then, why didn’t you two end up together?”

“Huh?” Jiang Nian looked confused and asked back, “Are you shooting a movie here? I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“Then why did you get into kickboxing?” Lu Xuan asked.

“Because there was a conflict.”

Jiang Nian left after finishing his meal, leaving Lu Xuan still dazed.

During the meal, she asked many questions. But the more she asked, the more she found that things seemed slightly different from what she had imagined.

In the guy’s account, Lu Xuan saw a history of male grudges and fights. It was nothing more than small conflicts that eventually accumulated and erupted.

It wasn’t a fit of rage for a beauty.

Instead, it started with small fights and gradually escalated into big fights. Throwing the other person’s shoes into the toilet was just the last bit of mischief before midnight.

Finally, Jiang Nian did something drastic.

As evening self-study approached, the teaching building lights were brightly lit.

Lu Xuan walked out of the cafeteria in a daze. She found that in Jiang Nian’s narration, everything was there except for the female protagonist.

Is this reasonable?

Or perhaps, boys of that age genuinely fought purely for Face…

Thinking from another perspective, if he deliberately omitted the female protagonist of the incident for protection, then the matter would also be reasonable.

The problem is, she had personally witnessed Jiang Nian and Li Qingrong interacting.

It didn’t seem like it… Rather than saying it didn’t seem like it, perhaps Jiang Nian didn’t even know the female protagonist’s name and simply didn’t ask.

These clues and conjectures instantly hung like a spiderweb in Lu Xuan’s mind, little by little.

These were the gossip deduction skills she had developed from years of frequenting dating shows and various youth variety shows.

Her most impressive achievement was when she, based solely on online clues, uncovered a celebrity’s half-ripe romance.

From then on, she became a legend in the field.

Of course, she wasn’t fighting alone. She also knew a friend who liked to use Heaven-Defying IDs online, and they exchanged information.

Actually, for this kind of thing… one could just ask the person involved.

If it were three years ago, Lu Xuan might have gone directly to Li Qingrong. After all, they were both girls, and it would be easier to talk.

But… times have changed.

Even with Lu Xuan’s family having a minor background, she wouldn’t dare to run up to Li Qingrong and openly bring up her past pain. Wouldn’t that offend people?

Before evening self-study.

In the corridor outside Class Three, a group of boys gathered, enjoying the night breeze and chatting.

“Nian, what did you do at noon?” Li Hua said in a passive-aggressive tone, “I asked someone to send you a message, why didn’t you reply?”

“But then again, I didn’t really care if you replied or not. And by the way, you’re really putting on airs.”

“Who did you ask?” Jiang Nian shot him a wary glance.

“Yu…” Li Hua suddenly stammered.

“You’re really an animal, Hua.” Jiang Nian pointed back at him. “But to be honest, I wasn’t in the mood to reply to messages then.”

“Why?”

“Busy on a date with the class monitor, do you think I had time for that?”

Hearing this, Li Hua couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hahaha, you’re dreaming too. Since you seem quite ill, I’ll be magnanimous and forgive you.”

One or two boys around Yang Qiming heard this, and their expressions immediately became a bit strange. They glanced at each other, and their eyes instantly changed.

As if they were saying.

“Holy crap, I knew it!”

“Damn this dog! Someone kill him!”

“No way, right? No way, this is completely impossible. No, I’m seriously not going to be able to sleep.”

Eye contact, silent communication.

Even though Yang Qiming was busy cultivating feelings with a girl from the liberal arts Olympiad class, he couldn’t stand it if Jiang Nian actually got a Porsche.

After a while, a girl’s voice suddenly rang out.

“Jiang Nian, why didn’t you reply to my message?”

The boys turned around and saw that the person who arrived was Yu Zhiyi. They instantly became enthusiastic, greeting Yu Zhiyi one after another.

Boys… are actually quite realistic.

No one pursued the class monitor, and no one pursued Zhizhi. One was because she was unattainable, the other was because Jiang Nian had snatched her when they moved up a class.

Just like in Xianxia novels, after Spirit Medicine appears, there are often Yao Beasts guarding it nearby.

But Yu Zhiyi and the others were different; they were approachable and outgoing. With so many people showing goodwill, of course, they had to be more enthusiastic.

If you act aloof, no one will even look!

Jiang Nian was in the back, looking at the suddenly appearing Yu Zhiyi. He couldn’t help but feel a little speechless, knowing what she meant.

See, you’re in a hurry again, Yu Zhiyi.

As for not replying to messages, it wasn’t important. She was rushing him to find the biology teacher to finalize the class representative position.

“Jiang Nian, why didn’t you reply to my message?”

Facing Yu Zhiyi’s question, Jiang Nian was too lazy to answer. He threw out a “Why should I reply?” and walked directly into the classroom.

The few people present immediately stood at attention, frozen in place.

How could a person be so bold?

The few of them looked at Yu Zhiyi with anxious and fearful expressions, full of worry. They wondered if she would get angry, or perhaps just explode.

However.

Yu Zhiyi merely smiled, seemingly not bothered at all.

In the classroom.

As soon as Jiang Nian returned to his seat, he saw Zhang Ningzhi lie on her desk, reviewing. She looked sullen, so he casually asked.

“What’s wrong?”

Zhang Ningzhi turned her head, sighed, and tears subtly swirled in her eyes.

“I don’t want to study anymore.”

“What, you want to be a rapper?” Jiang Nian heard this and thought to himself that she had failed her exam. “It’s a bit late; if you don’t put in effort for the high school entrance exam, you’re done.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Nothing, did you mess up your math exam?” Jiang Nian asked tentatively.

“Yeah, I couldn’t do any of it.” Zhang Ningzhi cried softly, lie on her desk, and mumbled, “This time, I’m going to get the same score as you.”

The smile on Jiang Nian’s Face abruptly stopped.

Your mom!

Is that something a human says?!

He suddenly felt a bit heated, and directly inserted his hand into her jacket pocket.

He grabbed and kneaded the soft hand inside the pocket repeatedly.

He didn’t take it out until it was sweaty.
