"Fine, I'll handle it." Li Xiang thought it was something big and was itching for the list before it was released, so he pestered his cousin to give him a copy. In the end, his cousin couldn't refuse and gave him a printed copy.
Li Xiang handed the list to Yun Buji. When he saw that Jiang Mianmian was on the list for the 5000-meter race, his brows furrowed. With her small arms and legs, wouldn't running 5000 meters exhaust her to death?
Never mind, no rush. He'd hack into the teacher's computer tonight and change the list.
Jiang Tianci entered the classroom. He also sat in the back, next to Yun Buji, separated by an aisle. He looked curiously at the boy beside him, who was staring at his phone with his head down. He was the only one in the entire class not wearing a school uniform, a black t-shirt that looked a bit cheap, sweatpants, and worn-out sneakers. He looked like a poor person, so how did he know Jiang Mianmian? And they seemed somewhat familiar.
"Classmate Yun, do you know Mianmian?" Jiang Tianci asked.
Yun Buji was sending a message and suddenly heard someone speaking to him. He looked up, his sharp eyebrows revealing a fierceness. "What business is it of yours whether I know her or not!"
Jiang Tianci didn't give up on what he wanted to know just because of the rude language. He continued, "Mianmian and I have known each other since childhood. I don't recall her mentioning you, but I was abroad for two years, so it's normal for her to have new friends."
Yun Buji frowned and said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you!"
Whether he knew Jiang Mianmian or not was none of his business.
But Yun Buji was still somewhat displeased!
Seeing this, Jiang Tianci didn't press further.
He could tell that this boy was difficult to get along with.
Most people dared not provoke him, and he didn't want any interaction with such a person. He was just trash. If it weren't for Jiang Mianmian, why would he even talk to this kind of trash?
He had returned this time bearing the honor of the Jiang family. Last year, his father's investments failed consecutively, leaving the family with a large debt. The Jiang family was now an empty shell, which was why he rushed back. His elders' intention was for him to target a daughter from a prominent family, study together to cultivate feelings, and then a family alliance could save the family.
He had no objections. The first person he thought of was that little girl with a perpetually gloomy expression, Jiang Mianmian. After investigating the Jiang family's background, the Jiang elders were very satisfied, so they arranged for him to come here.
He had thought he could easily win Jiang Mianmian over, but he was wrong. Jiang Mianmian was beautiful, but not a mere flower vase. She had her own ideas and was very clear-headed, not a foolish girl in love. Now, with Yun Buji appearing, he was caught off guard.
However, he wouldn't give up. Jiang Mianmian was someone he was determined to have. How could he lose to a petty hoodlum?
Yun Buji didn't know what Jiang Tianci was thinking, but he instinctively disliked this guy, feeling he was full of schemes. He couldn't understand how Jiang Mianmian could be friends with such a person.
As for dating, he absolutely didn't believe it; that young lady would never do such a thing.
But her taste in friends was too poor, finding such a useless good-for-nothing!
After finishing his message, Yun Buji pressed his phone screen off, put it in his pocket, and lay down on his desk to sleep. Studying was impossible; he came to school just to sleep.
The afternoon was for exams. The third-year students were all very nervous. There were small tests every three days and major exams every five days, especially since they would be taking the high school entrance exam next year. The high school they got into would be directly linked to the door of university.
