With a serious expression, Jiang Musheng explained, “She’s my childhood sweetheart and we got engaged when we were children. She went to school a year earlier than me. She is now studying performance arts in a fine arts university in my hometown.”
Awkward, awkward, really awkward!
Luo Zheng felt really embarrassed, not because of her narcissism, but because of Jiang Musheng’s trust in her!
“Do you want to know why I lent you my notes and trusted you again and again?”
Jiang Musheng decided to ask, as if he had seen through Luo Zheng’s thoughts.
Luo Zheng nodded subconsciously because she really wanted to know.
“In the beginning, I was not optimistic about the bet you made with the class teacher. Although there is indeed an issue with her character, your grades are indeed terrible.”
Jiang Musheng’s voice was very clear, gentle and pleasing to the ears.
“Later on during math class, the teacher asked you to go up to the rostrum to answer the questions and I noticed that your problem-solving process and logic were different from what the teacher taught. It is simpler, clearer, and correct. Those were not taught in the textbook, so you couldn’t have cheated. That was enough to prove that you really have what it takes! So, I believe that you will not let me down.”
After Jiang Mu finished speaking, Luo Zheng was a little dumbfounded and she couldn’t help but ask, “Is that all you think about me? It’s really just that simple?”
“Otherwise, how complicated should it be…”
Jiang Musheng answered with a smile. At last, he couldn’t help but rub the top of her hair.
“If there is another reason, it should probably be because you remind me of my sister. If my sister is still alive, she should be as old as you are…”
Luo Zheng felt that the relationships and interactions between humans were really special.
She had only interacted with Jiang Musheng briefly twice or thrice but she could feel a touch of warmth.
Even at this moment, she did not feel any abhorrence when he touched her.
“Jiang Musheng, why didn’t you tell me that earlier!?! I thought…”
Luo Zheng felt relieved that things were not like what she had imagined.
Fortunately, Jiang Musheng didn’t have a crush on her and the matter was resolved satisfactorily.
“The students in class probably think the same.”
Jiang Musheng said with a wry smile, appearing a little helpless.
“Besides, you ran away during the monthly exam and got labeled as a cheater. The teacher claimed that your exam script is invalid and that you were barred from the exam. Besides, there had been rumors going around about you almost killing your own sister. They said that you’re mentally unsound! So, they just bet that you were spouting nonsense and speculating if you’d go back to school…”
Jiang Musheng had a solemn expression when he was talking about that.
Luo Zheng smirked and exclaimed, “Yes, of course I’m going back! Otherwise, I’ll be letting them get their way.”
“Are you confident?”
Jiang Musheng asked, thinking that the exam was not fair to Luo Zheng.
“When the time comes, you can just watch the show.”
Luo Zheng said with a smile and a firm expression as she cocked her head towards the side.
Seeing that she was indeed confident, Jiang Musheng felt a sense of relief. Just as he was about to say something, the phone suddenly rang.
Luo Zheng looked over to see a photo of a girl smiling radiantly and snuggling up beside Jiang Musheng. She looked rather puerile, innocent and beautiful.
Somehow, a familiar scene flashed past her mind.
“That is my girl… ”
Jiang Musheng introduced softly, sounding a little shy.
“Is she your fiancee? She’s so beautiful! Go, go, go talk to her on the phone, don’t show off your relationship to me! I want to get some rest… ”
Luo Zheng smiled genuinely and urged Jiang Musheng who was turning shy and blushing.
Jiang Musheng was about to answer the phone, and just before he left, he looked at Luo Zheng seriously. “Some things should be quit! Although I don’t know how you got addicted… it will destroy you!”
