As expected, Su Jiang was late.
“You, go stand at the back!”
Unfortunately, the first class was still Old Zhang’s calculus. Su Jiang rubbed his nose and reluctantly ran to the back to stand.
During this process, Su Jiang made eye contact with An Rou sitting in the front row. They both instinctively looked away.
Standing at the back with a book in hand, Su Jiang felt drowsiness creeping in.
Finding a comfortable position, he used the book to cover his face and gently closed his eyes.
In the past, he couldn’t have mastered the skill of sleeping while standing, but now he had that ability.
Praise be to mastering combat skills!
Naturally, Old Zhang couldn’t imagine that Su Jiang could fall asleep while standing and continued teaching.
Until the end of the class, no one noticed that Su Jiang had fallen asleep.
“Su Jiang, come to my office!”
Awakened, Su Jiang felt somewhat helpless. Why was he being called for a private chat every day these days?
Back at his seat, he reached out to Wang Ziyang, who promptly handed him a pre-written self-criticism letter.
Su Jiang glanced at it briefly; it was fairly standard and didn’t set him up.
Dejectedly following behind Old Zhang, he arrived at the familiar office and obediently handed over the self-criticism letter.
Old Zhang took it, placed it on the side table without even looking at it.
“Su Jiang, with the competition approaching, you can’t continue to neglect your studies!”
Old Zhang was referring to the calculus competition in Jiangdu City. He had enrolled Su Jiang in it a while back; after all, he was his mentor.
Su Jiang nodded, “Don’t worry, Teacher Zhang, I promise to participate and not miss it.”
At his words, Old Zhang twitched his mouth.
If you don’t participate, should I take your place?
I want the ranking, the gold and silver medals!
“Do I need your assurance to participate? If you don’t, I’ll break your legs.”
“Su Jiang, don’t play dumb with me. You must win the gold medal in this year’s competition!”
Old Zhang’s tone was extremely serious. Whether he could make a name for himself depended on Su Jiang winning the gold medal.
Su Jiang looked helpless. He truly didn’t care about winning a gold medal. Wasn’t a decent ranking enough?
“What do you want, a bicycle?
Of course, I can’t say that to Old Zhang.
“Don’t worry, Teacher Zhang, I will do my best to bravely win the gold medal!”
“The first place, who else but me!”
Su Jiang looked solemn, his tone extremely sincere.
Upon hearing this, Old Zhang felt somewhat reassured, gave some advice, and then let Su Jiang go back.
The next class was university physics, still in the same classroom as before. Returning to his usual seat, Su Jiang immediately fell asleep.
What is a gold medal?
I don’t know, I’m not familiar with it.
“Hey hey hey, Old Su, don’t sleep yet.”
Wang Ziyang nudged Su Jiang awake and hurriedly said, “Tomorrow is Saturday, I’ve booked a five-seat set at the internet cafe. Don’t stand me up, I’m counting on you to carry us with Yasuo!”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiang nodded lightly, gave a thumbs up, and continued to doze off.
Two minutes later, just as Su Jiang was about to drift off to dreamland, he suddenly felt someone poking his arm.
Thinking it was Wang Ziyang again, he raised his head with annoyance.
“Wang Ziyang, can’t you say everything at once…”
His words trailed off as his voice abruptly stopped.
Wang Ziyang sat beside him, looking innocently at him.
On the other side, An Rou was extending a finger, gently poking her own hand.
“Um… An Rou, do you need something?”
An Rou withdrew her hand, not meeting Su Jiang’s eyes, tilting her head slightly to the side, and softly said:
“So, are you free tomorrow?”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiang turned to look at Wang Ziyang, paused for a moment, then turned back to look at An Rou.
“I’m free, I have no plans tomorrow.”
Wang Ziyang: “???”
Aren’t we bros?!
Are you kidding me?
Opening his mouth, Wang Ziyang wanted to say something but hesitated.
Well, a brother’s lifelong happiness is most important.
He turned around and silently canceled the booking for the five-seat set at the internet cafe.
Upon hearing this, An Rou nodded gently, blushing, and said, “Then come with me somewhere tomorrow.”
“Where to?”
“Come home with me.”
“Pfft!” Su Jiang hadn’t spoken yet, but Wang Ziyang, who was drinking water, sprayed it all over the floor.
Turning his head, Wang Ziyang looked at Su Jiang in shock.
Aren’t we bros?!
Is the pace a bit too fast?
Confidently giving Su Jiang a thumbs up, thankfully it was the end of class, and all their friends had left.
Otherwise, this news would be a bombshell.
Seeing Wang Ziyang’s thumbs up, Su Jiang’s mouth twitched.
Bro, you only see her asking me to go home with her, but you don’t know what her family background is!
Underworld family, bro!
Su Jiang instantly regretted it.
“Well… I suddenly remembered that I might have plans with Wang Ziyang tomorrow, right, Wang Ziyang?”
Bro, help me out!
Upon hearing this, An Rou looked at Wang Ziyang with a hint of doubt.
Seeing her gaze, Wang Ziyang decisively shook his head, “Old Su, I have something to do tomorrow. Let’s reschedule for another day.”
Damn it, Wang Ziyang!
Su Jiang wanted to strangle this jerk right now.
“Great, you wait for my message tomorrow, I’ll come pick you up!” An Rou said with a smile to Su Jiang before returning to her seat.
She didn’t want to take Su Jiang home, but her older brother had sent her a stern message today, insisting that she must bring Su Jiang to him tomorrow.
An Rou wasn’t afraid of her older brother; she just didn’t want to disappoint him and make him sad.
She definitely wasn’t afraid of her brother.
…
“Wang Ziyang, I’ll kill you.”
“Why? I’m helping you, bro. It’s a great opportunity!”
“Opportunity, my foot! Do you know people could die?”
“Don’t exaggerate. It’s just meeting the parents. An Rou is really nice, and you two are a good match!”
…
Su Jiang buried his head in despair, feeling like his friendship with Wang Ziyang was the biggest misfortune of his life.
Well, maybe tomorrow he would find a way to stand An Rou up.
He was truly afraid of the underworld family.
Even with his combat skills, facing such a powerful family would be like courting death.
“Alright, that’s it. Tomorrow, I’ll tell An Rou I have something urgent and bail out.” Su Jiang was already thinking of excuses to give An Rou.
[Notification! Host triggered a task. Please abide by the agreement with An Rou and act accordingly!]
[Completing the task will bring rewards, while failure will result in punishment.]
Su Jiang: …
Tired, let it be destroyed.
He suspected that this system existed solely to torment the host.
