Chapter 138 Chasing You

For a moment, Jian Chi really thought that Shao Hang was serious about wanting to go to the same university with him. It was not a joke, nor did he make a promise not to disappoint him. When he said this, Shao Hang stared at him, every word in his eyes was determined and thoughtful.

Jian Chi didn’t know why he was a little flustered, but he also had a strange peace of mind that coexisted within the contradictions. When this unexplained feeling subsided, Jian Chi couldn’t help but want to laugh at himself, how could it be possible?

Can Shao Hang, who has never learned anything, really do it?

Can or cannot, Jian Chi didn’t know which one he wanted more, but in his heart, from the gift he chose to give to Shao Hang, Jian Chi felt that he had found his answer. Shao Hang didn’t wait for his reply. He looked at him and smiled angrily, “Don’t believe me, eh?”

Jian Chi didn’t deny it, but didn’t admit it either, “You can say this again when the mock exam is over.” 

Shao Hang closed the notebook, raised it to his shoulder and shook it lightly, “From now on, it is my step by step goal.”

“For example?”

“For example, let’s first raise mathematics to a fairly satisfactory score,” Shao Hang said, “I think the top ten in the grade is good, what do you think?”

Jian Chi felt that Shao Hang was definitely in the top ten in the field of dreaming.

Since entering Saintston, things on the open side have tended to be negative, bullying weak classmates , caring more about having fun than studying, relying on a wealthy family background to do whatever they want in school and the Internet. But in fact, for most elite children, grades were also an extremely important plus.

The students of Saintston can be roughly divided into two categories. One was rich families like Shao Hang. No matter whether they study or not, there will be a way for them in the end. They come to Saintston just for a beautiful diploma, or they were there in order to make friends with other rich children. There was also a category of those who have been given high hopes by the family, fighting for their family or themselves. Shen Shuting belonged to the former, while most of the special enrollment belonged to the latter.

These people were more low-key than other people who were addicted to fun. They often did not like to be involved in the bullying activities of some groups. They do not join or help. They have their own clear goals. It was not entirely correct to say that they were cold-blooded because the dark side of the school had nothing to do with them. These people and the people who love to gossip about sports cars in the HS forum were two groups that do not intersect at all. Jian Chi can only see their names in the front of the list published in each exam.

Because of this, Jian Chi never dared to relax, no matter how ridiculous the system of Saintston was, and how there were many children from rich families who were incompetent since it did not mean that there were only these people in Saintston. Hearing Shao Hang say ‘the top ten in the grade is good’ in a loose tone, Jian Chi knew that he must not have known the other side of Saintston.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Saintston’s most famous name was ‘the cradle of elites’. If you want to maintain this reputation, of course, you need the real deal.

The fact was not far from what Jian Chi thought. Shao Hang’s progress was very slow, but part of it was beyond his imagination, that is, Shao Hang’s learning method was quite rough. Unlike other people who set a goal at the beginning of their studies and rationally allocate the time for each subject, Shao Hang relied on the privilege of BC to simply ignore the homework of all other subjects and only focus on one subject.

Zhang Yang’s prejudice against Shao Hang decreased a lot during this period, because Shao Hang didn’t come out to disturb them while they were studying, pretending to ask questions, instead, he seriously took a book and asked Jian Chi for advice. Zhang Yang asked curiously what caused Shao Hang to be taken away. To be honest, Jian Chi didn’t know. Could it be that he was stimulated because he didn’t receive the love letter he wanted?

Maybe that’s really the reason.

On the eve of the mock exam, Jian Chi was very fortunate that no one disturbed him during the review. Shen Shuting had been quiet for a long time since he was ‘humiliated’ by him last time, and even if he was put onto the blacklist, he did not force him to release it.

Jian Chi was frightened for a while at first, but gradually this matter was forgotten by him, until one day when he returned to the bedroom, a large bouquet of roses was quietly placed at the door.

A beautiful bouquet of Kalda roses.

When he wanted to contact Shen Shuting, Jian Chi remembered that he hadn’t released him from the blacklist. This made Jian Chi hesitate for a long time whether to temporarily lift the blacklist, but in the end he didn’t come up with an answer. Worried that the bunch of flowers would be too eye-catching, Jian Chi had to carry it into the bedroom.

The ordinary room had become more eye-catching because of this bouquet of roses. Jian Chi made a rough calculation that this bouquet of flowers should be able to buy an entire dormitory building, or even more. But the stems of so many expensive roses were cut off by Shen Shuting. He had to remember, he had accidentally crushed two roses at that time and Shen Shuting’s face was very dark in the night.

After spending a few days in the dormitory, Jian Chi finally released Shen Shuting from the blacklist and asked him why he did this. Shen Shuting replied: Didn’t you read the card?

Jian Chi found a rectangular card under the rose, which was pressed by the petals, so that he could not find it initially. On the front of the card was written a sentence: roses will wither, and the back was blank. Jian Chi looked at the comma, not sure if it was Shen Shuting’s typo or something else. After thinking about it, he didn’t ask, but soon, he found the answer by himself.

Shen Shuting’s social account that had not been updated for thousands of years suddenly had a new update, with only one sentence: But if you like it, it won’t.

This was a dynamic that only Jian Chi can understand, but in the eyes of others it breeded a lot of deep meaning. Shen Shuting never published his private life on HS. Except for student union news, he forwarded campus announcements, or he himself was the publisher of the announcement. These few words were the only news related to him since he created the account. However, there were still people who came sniffing the gossip to hear the news. Perhaps it was the last semblance of the internet, which made many people who were afraid of Shen Shuting in reality dare to leave comments below.

‘The president is in love? ‘—this comment was topped, followed by a lot of thoughtful and nonsensical speculation. One of the comments received a lot of likes: Why do I feel this was implying someone, is the president chasing someone?’. Originally, there were only a few sporadic replies to this thread, and they were all laughing at their nonsensical thoughts. With Shen Shuting’s status and appearance, why did he still need to chase people? Either the other party was an immortal, or Shen Shuting was out of his mind. Until Shen Shuting gave this comment a like.

So hundreds of topics were directly discussed.

It’s not the first time that Jian Chi had witnessed the ability of these people to have fantastic ideas. There were still many people who thought that Shen Shuting’s words were alluding to Ji Huaisi. Until this time, Jian Chi didn’t know that many people thought that the two had had a relationship. Later, it was because of the involvement of a third party that Shen Shuting hated and never communicated with Ji Huaisi again. 

The third party of this was Jian Chi who was shot at inexplicably.

Although some people complained that this was pure fabrication, human nature liked gossip, especially the gossip of dog blood, and naturally ignored the so-called logic. Jian Chi even clicked in to read the analysis. The more he read, the more he admired the author. He wrote as if Shen Shuting and Ji Huaisi had really been together. It would be better if he was not part of the story.

The dynamic had not completely cooled down, and Shao Hang’s forwarding had made the discussion continue to rise again, with three words: Oh, unreasonable.

Shao Hang was not like Shen Shuting, and the comments below were more unscrupulous. When someone asked him if he knew what was going on with Shen Shuting, Shao Hang directly replied ‘he is sick’. Some people were dissatisfied, saying that the sick person should be Shao Hang who joined for no reason. Shao Hang only replied to him with three words: ‘back to you’.

Although Jian Chi felt that this was a bit inauthentic, he couldn’t stop laughing and sent a message to Shao Hang: Why are you forwarding, have all the questions been written?

Shao Hang: He’s disgusting in my eyes.

Shao Hang: [Picture]

In the picture was the test paper taken by Shao Hang. Yesterday, Jian Chi suggested that he should not only learn theoretical knowledge, but should find some past test papers to do to test his learning results. Shao Hang’s speed was not unpleasant. Today, he had took out the exam papers of the past ten years, starting from the earliest one.

Shao Hang: I’ll check with you tomorrow.

Jian Chi: Good.

Shao Hang: Are there any rewards for doing well?

Jian Chi: Make persistent efforts.

Shao Hang: .

Just as Jian Chi was about to reply, a new message popped up. He remembered that he forgot to put Shen Shuting back in the blacklist.

Shen Shuting: Did you see it?

After hesitating for a while, Jian Chi replied: What?

Shen Shuting: Can’t you see it?

Jian Chi didn’t know what puzzle he was playing: what do you mean?

Shen Shuting: I’m chasing you.
