Chapter 15: A Big Slap in the Face to the Vicious Female Lead

This physiological disgust wasn’t something he wanted; it was like some force was preventing him from getting close to anyone besides Shen Wanwan.

Jiang Sheng’s gaze was dangerous as he put the lunchbox in his bag.

“Third Brother, why do you look so pale?” Chen Jinshi wanted to tease Jiang Sheng about his flirting skills, but he was stunned seeing him with such a choked expression.

It felt strange.

Jiang Sheng inadvertently turned his head and saw Shen Wanwan approaching him.

With the fragrance carried by the wind, the nausea in his body gradually subsided.

“Jiang Sheng, good morning. Didn’t you usually arrive late? Why are you here so early today?”

Shen Wanwan confidently approached him. This was the innate attraction between the male and female leads. As long as she appeared, the male lead would definitely notice her.

Chen Jinshi and the other three looked at each other, the atmosphere was strange.

Jiang Sheng glanced at her coldly: “Something?”

Shen Wanwan smiled brightly and generously, also taking out a few delicious treats.

There was one for each of them.

“I made them myself, try them.”

Jiang Sheng lowered his eyelids, a dark tide surging in his eyes. As expected, he felt completely comfortable around this woman.

This feeling made him even more disgusted and disdainful.

Shen Wanwan’s hand stretched out in mid-air, looking expectantly at the handsome young man in front of her.

Jiang Sheng’s expression was cold, he took the rainbow candy she gave him.

But he didn’t say anything.

Shen Wanwan was even happier: “There’s a special training session this afternoon, don’t be late.”

She was as pure and innocent as an angel, passing by him, attracting attention and following him.

Jiang Sheng held the candy, the size of a child’s palm, his gaze turned cold, and he crushed it.

Then he threw it into the trash can with disdain.

Control him? Who dares?

Li Yucheng raised his eyebrows and said, “What if it’s really sweet? It won’t poison you if you just taste it.”

Chen Jinshi rolled his eyes at him and gave him the candy: “Take it, you’re like you’ve never had candy before, so childish.”

Li Yucheng’s face darkened.

Zhao Linru looked at Jiang Sheng’s expression: “I always feel like this Shen Wanwan is strange.”

“By the way, Ning Qiutang is also strange.”

Chen Jinshi: “In your eyes, everyone is strange.”

The four of them left, chatting.

Ning Qiutang was exhausted. It was truly a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on her own foot; she knew better than to carry so much stuff.

She returned to the classroom and took out her books, papers, some snacks, and makeup.

Yu Jiaojiao arrived at the classroom on time, surrounded by the scent of expensive perfume.

“Inspection, inspection. I don’t know why there are so many inspections.”

“I almost got caught.”

A classmate next to her said, “I heard there are a lot of leaders coming to inspect recently, so they’ve been cleaning up these days.”

“The student council is being particularly strict, it’s like they’re all trying to meet their quotas at the end of the year.”

Everyone else was buzzing with discussion.

Ning Qiutang quietly reviewed her lessons.

Yu Jiaojiao played with her phone, not bothering her.

The teacher came in with an award certificate: “Congratulations to Shen Wanwan for winning first prize in the national essay competition. Students should learn from her.”

Everyone in the classroom looked up and watched Shen Wanwan go up to receive the award, then applause thundered.

“Thank you, teacher. It’s my honor.” After transferring, Shen Wanwan actively participated in various activities, and she had received countless awards and prizes.

Everyone in the classroom admired her. In their simple world, good grades and talent were everything.

“Oh, right, although the college entrance exam is approaching, your main task is still to study hard. But some students with stable grades can participate in the poetry competition in two days. The theme is not limited, winning or not is not important, it’s good to broaden your horizons.”

After the teacher finished speaking, they let them review on their own.

“Wow, Wanwan, you’re going to participate too? You just won first place, you’re so amazing.”

“That’s right, Shen Wanwan has always been in the top rankings for several competitions. People from above want to recruit Shen Wanwan.”

“Wanwan could have been admitted to university without taking the exam, but she still wants to prove her strength, to take the college entrance exam. Who hasn’t she been the first in our grade?”

Shen Wanwan lived in everyone’s praise, her gaze falling on Ning Qiutang, who was quietly studying in the corner.

“Ning Qiutang, I remember you’re very good at writing love poems. You should participate too. If I don’t win and you do, it would be an honor for our class and school, and it would be good for you too.”

It was the same line again.

Ning Qiutang looked at her test paper with cold eyes. In her previous life, she had been constantly stimulated, making her try to compare herself to Shen Wanwan, only to be slapped in the face.

Her years of literary training were inferior to Shen Wanwan’s.

Her proud piano skills were also inferior to Shen Wanwan’s.

She lost in competitions to her, and out of jealousy, she deliberately schemed against Shen Wanwan, which was discovered by everyone, and she became unable to face anyone.

She didn’t speak, pretending not to hear.

Shen Wanwan frowned.

Shu Hui, who was beside her, immediately said in a flattering tone, “Ning Qiutang, you wouldn’t be afraid, would you? Or do you think you can’t beat Wanwan and are planning to admit defeat?”

Yu Jiaojiao was originally applying lipstick, but when she heard their chattering, her face turned ugly. What were they, a bunch of chickens?

“It’s not just a competition with her, how can it be considered admitting defeat? I want to participate, I’ll participate, I don’t want to, I won’t. Does it mean that if I don’t participate, Shen Wanwan won’t be able to win? Or does she have to compete with me, and only by winning me will she have face?”

Ning Qiutang held Yu Jiaojiao’s hand, she would handle her own affairs.

Shu Hui was stunned, she was so sharp-tongued!

“What are you talking about? Wanwan just thinks you’re pretty good, she wants to bring you along. Whether you participate or not, who’s begging you to participate?”

Shen Wanwan clenched her fists, how could she not participate, she had to participate.

But she didn’t say anything, instead, she pulled Shu Hui to sit down and told her to say less.

It made her look like she was wronged.

Ning Qiutang calmly glanced at them, it was just a childish squabble.

Yu Jiaojiao said, “You’re always so accommodating, why? Do we need to let her be? Your former poetry teacher was a famous scholar of the Four Books and Five Classics, a master of poetry, songs, and prose.”

What was this?

Ning Qiutang said indifferently, “It’s just a small matter, what’s there to compare? The more you pay attention to them, the more proud they will be, the more they will get carried away.”

“The best insult to those you dislike is to ignore them.”

“Okay, okay, you’re right about everything.”

However, at noon, the Chinese teacher found Ning Qiutang alone, and his words were all about encouraging her to participate in the competition.

Ning Qiutang wanted to refuse, but the teacher said,

“Why are you shy? After learning for so many years, isn’t it for the time when you will achieve something? Are you afraid of something? You have to be confident in yourself. It’s about participation. I’ve already signed you up, don’t say no.”

The Chinese teacher thought she had a good foundation and her literary literacy was higher than most people, it would be a pity not to participate.
