Chapter 58: Good Students Are So Boring

Ning Qiutang took out her snacks and drinks and sat next to him, watching him do his homework.

Her gaze unintentionally fell on the boy who was casually turning his pen and writing homework. Perhaps because of the warm summer light, his top-tier good looks shed their usual coldness, making him even more handsome.

She bit her potato chips and thought to herself, “Good looks can really be used to eat.”

“Staring at me like that, why don’t you come sit in my lap and watch up close?” Jiang Sheng seemed to sense her gaze, raised his eyes and raised an eyebrow at her, moved a little further away and patted his leg.

Ning Qiutang immediately retracted her gaze and didn’t look at him: “Oh, hurry up and do it, you still have a few pages left.”

“Alright, I’ll get it done for you in a while, I won’t let a good student fail to hand in their homework.”

Jiang Sheng worked on the problems at lightning speed, like he was writing addition and subtraction for a three-year-old.

Ning Qiutang couldn’t help but ask while chewing on her chips, “Since you’re so good, why do you pretend to be a bad student? Is being a bad student really that cool?”

“Do you want to experience what bad students play?”

Jiang Sheng didn’t answer, but asked back.

In his opinion, he seemed to be tired of the same routine day after day. He liked excitement and he liked to defy life.

That’s how he felt alive.

Ning Qiutang pouted, she wasn’t like she hadn’t experienced it: “It’s just fighting, smoking, drinking, going to bars, skipping class, early love, looking for excitement.”

“Yes and no.” Jiang Sheng beckoned her.

Ning Qiutang stood up in confusion and leaned over, watching him take out his phone and show her a video.

“There’s also un-secured rock climbing, gliding, skydiving, diving, making money.”

The video finally stopped on a screenshot of his balance, with lots of zeros.

Jiang Sheng did whatever was dangerous, completely disregarding his own life.

Ning Qiutang thought that only a wealthy family could give him the resources to play like this. No wonder Grandpa Jiang was so watchful of him, he could really lose his life if he wasn’t careful.

“Why do you think good students are like that?”

“How else, good students are pretty boring.” Jiang Sheng could even see the little fuzz on the girl’s face, white and transparent, very cute.

Ning Qiutang shook her head and looked into his eyes, “Do you want to try experiencing what good students do with me?”

“Okay, just consider it playing with you.” Jiang Sheng didn’t mind, as long as she was happy.

Ning Qiutang thought about how to tease him later.

She watched him do his homework for a while, then Yu Jiaojiao called her, asking her to help find some ice packs in the refrigerator.

Ning Qiutang told Jiang Sheng to hurry up and write, they would have to go home soon.

Then she went to the refrigerator to get the ice packs and sent them over.

Yu Jiaojiao was fishing with Pei Tingxu, and suddenly a big fish hooked on. She was so excited that she was dragged into the water.

Pei Tingxu pulled her back to shore and found that her hand had been twisted while trying to grab the fishing rod, it was both painful and swollen.

When Ning Qiutang arrived with the ice packs, she saw Pei Tingxu rubbing her wrist.

“Is it serious?”

Yu Jiaojiao nodded vigorously, now she had experienced the pain of her best friend last time.

“Isn’t there a medical team following you?” Ning Qiutang looked over and saw the doctor and nurse coming over.

Pei Tingxu looked at her worriedly: “Doctor, take a look at her, is it serious?”

The doctor examined it and said: “It’s okay, it’s just a sprain, no bone problems, rest and apply ice to relieve it.”

“Okay, thank you, doctor.” Pei Tingxu thanked politely.

The doctor also said: “The conditions here are simple, if it’s really unbearable, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.”

Yu Jiaojiao nodded, “I feel better now. It’s just a pity about that big fish. If we had caught it, we would have been first.”

Pei Tingxu looked at her face, she was a wealthy young lady but so down-to-earth, gentle and easygoing, “It’s okay, I’ll go fishing again. Time hasn’t run out yet, we’ll definitely be first.”

He took his fishing rod and continued fishing.

Yao Zhi was pushed over by her assistant, looking at the injured Yu Jiaojiao worriedly, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let you get involved.”

Yu Jiaojiao didn’t have as much hostility towards her anymore, she said calmly, “It was my own carelessness, it’s okay.”

Ning Qiutang saw that she wanted to go back, so she supported her hand and they left together.

Unexpectedly, they ran into him.

Lu Wangshu looked at her with surprise, “What a coincidence, Miss Ning, we’ve met again.”

Ning Qiutang was stunned for a moment, remembering that he was an investor, and he was also quite familiar with the entertainment industry, often advertising, it was quite normal.

“Mr. Lu, hello.”

After greeting him, she supported the gossiping Yu Jiaojiao and was about to pass by.

Lu Wangshu called out to her politely and gracefully, “I heard there’s a bonfire party tonight, are you going to attend?”

The meaning was obvious.

Ning Qiutang turned back just as she was about to say she didn’t have time, the boy who had finished his homework suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of her.

Jiang Sheng, ignoring everyone else, helped her refuse, “She has a date, she’s not free.”

Ning Qiutang didn’t deny it, in her previous life, not only did she have to escape, but others did too.

She couldn’t drag anyone else down again.

She just hoped that this time, Lu Wangshu could live well.

Lu Wangshu looked at the way they were flirting with each other, he probably understood, “Okay, we’ll see each other next time.”

He continued to be elegant and gentlemanly, turning and leaving politely.

Yu Jiaojiao looked at this delicate battlefield, how did she not know that her good sister had something to do with this man who looked handsome, mature, and gentle as jade?

Jiang Sheng looked at the nonchalant girl with a smile, “Such a coincidence, you ran into him again.”

“Old men like that are no good, you know, you’re only 18 years old, and he’s already chasing after you.”

Yu Jiaojiao was shocked, what was the Crown Prince saying, was he jealous?

Ning Qiutang rolled her eyes at him and snorted coldly, “You think everyone is as dark and vicious as you are. Besides, I’ve only met him twice, and both times were coincidences. Compared to him, aren’t you also chasing after me? You’re just pot calling the kettle black.”

Yu Jiaojiao secretly gave her good sister a thumbs up, this rebuttal was really sharp-tongued.

Jiang Sheng took a step closer to her, his presence was extremely oppressive, he spoke, “You compare me to him, there’s a difference between people. He doesn’t need to do much, and you’ll look at him differently. No matter what I do, you think I’m up to no good. So I’m not chasing after you, what’s there for me anymore?”

To be honest, if Ning Qiutang had initially proposed to break off the engagement and he had no reaction, even resisting the engagement with her, they would have had nothing to do with each other.

But if he did that, he would definitely regret it. There was a voice in his heart telling him that he absolutely couldn’t lose Ning Qiutang again.

This was different from those forces that tried to control him, this was his original heart, the part of himself he should trust the most.

Ning Qiutang and Yu Jiaojiao were both startled, how did it feel like the Crown Prince, who controlled everything and was fearless, seemed a little anxious just now.

“Um… Jiang Sheng, actually you don’t need to be like this, just let things take their course.”

If this continued, she felt like her escape plan might be a bit difficult.
