Chapter 15 - Shameless

Chapter 15- ShamelessTranslator-zyzy Editor-Aru

November signals the coming of Seven High’s mid-term exams.

For students in Seven High, exams were just like a war zone, everyone would frantically prepare for this relatively important exam. Even Zhao Nuan Cheng, who was always playing around, settled down and started studying.

Before classes ended, the headteacher, Fan Hui Yin said: “Tomorrow and the day after is your mid-term test, this class, all the other classes will be paying attention to your performances. I won’t talk much about it, teachers from other subjects already briefed you all. I’ll just talk about what to pay attention to in English, it’ll almost be completely objective questions in the paper, so be careful to shade the correct spaces in your answer sheet……”

She sternly addressed a few more areas to pay attention to, and told the class monitor Guan Xiao Ye: “After school, arrange for a few students to clean up the classroom and place the examination number respectively.”

Because they were using a different classroom, so the tables in the classroom needed to be rearranged.

One exam hall only sat 30 people, so almost half of the tables had to be shifted to the empty classroom upstairs. 

Guan Xiao Ye, after packing up, came over with a straight face: “This time, it’s the eight students in team 5’s turn arrange the seats, pay attention to this after school.”

She passed the examination slips to Fu Wen Fei: “Distribute this for me, I’m heading home to study.”

“Someone in our team didn’t come to school today.”

“It can’t be helped, everyone has to do more work and share the task. Or you can see if anyone else would be willing to help.”

Fu Wen Fei is a quite handsome boy, and also the vice class monitor. His results are much better than Guan Xiao Ye. He nodded, his gaze slightly showed his hate towards Guan Xiao Ye.

Guan Xiao Ye is skinny and very rigid, like the personas from ancient China that are traditional and stubborn, that would appear in books. She looked pretty average, after becoming the class monitor, she always ordered people around. 

This boy, Fu Yi Fei, was of course dissatisfied.

Almost all the students in the class had left, he called on the members from team 5 to start cleaning. One of the students had taken a sick leave, tidying the classroom and moving the tables was already hard work, the other students naturally weren’t willing to help.

In total, there were 7 people left, Meng Ting was one of them.

With Zhao Nuan Cheng, Zhen Xiao Yi and Meng Ting’s deskmate, Hong Hui.

They first moved the tables upstairs.

Zhao Nuan Cheng with a sour face: “Oh my god, Ting Ting, there are 30 tables, 7 of us to move them, everyone has to at least move 4 of them. From 2nd to 5th floor, thinking of it is already making me go crazy.”

Seven High’s tables were made of heavy wooden blocks, that year, the paint on some of the tables were even falling off, the spots on it made the tables look very ugly.

Meng Ting was also sad, she comforted and smiled at Zhao Nuan Cheng: “Don’t worry, just do it slowly.”

They started to clean the classroom, the dust was flying everywhere. Zhao Nuan Cheng and Meng Ting brought over a watering can to clean the classroom.

Zhao Xiao Yu coughed a few times and fanned herself with her hands, her eyes suddenly sparkled and tugged on Meng Ting.

Meng Ting turned back, Zhen Xiao Yi excitedly said: “Meng Ting, look outside, isn’t that Fu Wen Fei and Sheng Yu Qing.”

Fu Wen Fei was completely different compared to when he was looking at the rigid Guan Xiao Ye, his handsome face was blushing red, he took out his notes and passed it to Sheng Yu Qing,

Sheng Yu Qing was smiling as brightly as a flower, didn’t know what she said, but Fu Wen Fei’s face turned bright red.

Liu Xiao Yi tsked: “Sheng Yu Qing is just so attractive, she even took down our class’s nerd. Doesn’t Fu Wen Fei think he’s all high and mighty? But isn’t Sheng Yu Qing’s ex-boyfriend Jiang Ren? She was still all over Jiang Ren a few days ago, now she’s with Fu Wen Fei already.”

Meng Ting funnily shook her head, they started to move the tables.

Every girl also had to carry 4 tables.

Liu Xiao Yi, thinking about this, didn’t even have the mood to gossip around anymore. She reluctantly hugged on to one of the tables and walked upstairs hurriedly.

The wooden tables were very heavy, after going back and forth once for 1 table, Meng Ting was already puffing.

Her deskmate, Hong Hui’s expression didn’t look very good either, it was way too heavy, and they had to move it up to the 5th floor. Even for a guy like him, it was already tough, he couldn’t help but complain about the absent member.

Zhao Nuan Cheng was also sulking, moving the tables wasn’t very considerate to the girls. But there were too many tasks, so everyone just had to do it together.

It was mid-November, classes in Seven High had already ended for 40 minutes, the chirping of birds could be heard in the school compound, it was pleasant to the ears. The ginkgo leaves turned yellow, a few leaves had fallen down.

The second time Meng Ting moved the tables upstairs, the moment she put down the table to breathe, she saw someone unexpected.

Jiang Ren was lazily leaning against the third floor’s stairways smoking.

The wind was blowing on his silver hair, the air smelled slightly of cigarettes.

Meng Ting didn’t know why he was here, so she acted like she didn’t see him. With all her might, she continued to move the tables upstairs.

Her figure was very slender, making people want to protect her.

He couldn’t help but laugh, he stubbed his cigarette and threw it in the bin. He walked a few steps in front of her and easily took over the heavy table with one hand. Meng Ting’s hands suddenly felt light.

“Where to?”

He placed the table on his shoulder, looked relaxed like it didn’t have any weight at all.

The teen’s silver hair was so eye-catching, looking slightly like a gangster: “Talk, good student.”

Meng Ting was slightly flustered: “I can do it myself.”

Jiang Ren furrowed his eyebrow: “You stay right there, I saw you go to the 5th floor right.”

He was very tall with long legs, carrying one table, it looked like he was holding on to a plastic bag, and effortlessly walked upstairs.

Meng Ting followed behind.

He smelled slightly of cigarettes, because of his disorder, it was very hard for him to quit his smoking addiction. Whenever he felt agitated, smoking would help ease his emotions.

Meng Ting didn’t know why Jiang Ren was helping her move the table, if someone saw this, she could never explain herself clearly.

When they reached the 5th floor, Jiang Ren stopped in his step and put down the table. The soft wind softly caressed her hair, Meng Ting saw as he straight up carried the table here, and softly said: “Thank you.”

She wanted to carry it in 508 herself, as she bent down, Jiang Ren said: “Men do the work, girls just stand beside and watch. Step aside.”

He was smart, even if Meng Ting didn’t say where to move the table too, he saw as all the empty tables were piled up in one room, he understood.

Jiang Ren finished moving one, his breathing wasn’t huffed, and asked her: “How many left?”

Meng Ting slightly flustered, she rather move it herself.

Could Jiang Ren just stay away from her?

She didn’t speak, she was terrified that someone would see them, and turned away, wanting to head down the stairs.

Jiang Ren angrily snorted.

My God, not appreciative.

He pulled on her wrists, the wrist in his palm was slender and soft.

“Scared someone will see? I won’t go to your class, will that do, I’ll wait for you at the stairs on the 2nd floor, you just have to move the tables there.”

He slightly lifted his chin and signalled another route to Meng Ting. Going up from there, even if it was slightly further, but her classmates won’t see them.

“Let go of me, I can move it myself.” Meng Ting both ashamed and angry, her face turned slightly red.

The soft wind in November lightly blew through her bangs, her soft and fair face turned to a cherry blush. 

He smiled, unreasonably: “Don’t mess with me, I’ll be waiting for you there, if you don’t come, I’ll come to your class to look for you.”

Meng Ting was so angry she almost teared up. She didn’t do anything or offend him.

When Meng Ting went downstairs, she bumped into Hong Hui. Hong Hui’s face was pale, he put down the table and adjusted his glasses, breathing heavily, he looked so exhausted that he would pass out any moment now.

A few steps and he had to take a few breathers, he was gasping for air like a ventilator.

Zhao Nuan Cheng was behind him, she saw Meng Ting and frowned: “I’m dying I’m dying, there’s still 2 more tables to go, is this task even meant for humans. My legs are shaking, Ting Ting, you’re still okay right?”

Meng Ting: “……”

She got to the classroom and moved the table out, she turned around and expectedly she saw Jiang Ren’s figure at the other stairway. 

Meng Ting turned back, in the classroom, the vice class monitor, Fu Wen Fei was talking happily with Sheng Yu Qing, Sheng Yu Qing was sitting on Fu Wen Fei’s table, looking through his notes.

Jiang Ren wasn’t joking, if she didn’t go over, he would really come.

If he came……

Tomorrow the whole school will spread rumours about Sheng Yu Qing, Jiang Ren, Fu Wen Fei…… and her all jumbled up.

Meng Ting gritted her teeth and reluctantly moved the table to the stairway.

If you like to move then move it, I’ll exhaust this unreasonable bastard.

Jiang Ren softly laughed and effortlessly walked away with the table. 

Teenagers have all the strength and energy.

After moving the other two tables, his expression didn’t change at all. But Zhao Nuan Cheng and the others haven’t returned, the air felt refreshing, on the balcony, there was one black ant busily moving forward. 

Meng Ting sat on the stairs, both of her hands on her knees, her heart felt both embarrassed and guilty.

All of her classmates are contributing, but she……

Jiang Ren stood in front of her: “Is there more?”

Meng Ting shook her head, she looked up, hoping that he would hurry away. His lips turned into a smile: “How are you going to thank me, good student.”

Meng Ting was thinking of how shameless he was being. 

“I didn’t ask for your help, I could’ve done it myself.”

His eyebrows sank, his knife-shaped eyebrows, always gave off a scary vibe: “What, are you denying it now?”

She thought of the Jiang Ren that chased after the car and was scared if he would hit her.

He was originally this unreasonable. 

Meng Ting reaches into her own pocket.

And took out a five-dollar note, she softly said: “I’ll buy you something to drink.” She’s always been very poor so she only had 5 dollars on her. 

He looked down at the five-dollar note. 

He saw the pretty hand that was holding onto it, slender and fair, the light green veins could be slightly visible. It looked so fragile that if he pinched it, it would die in his hands.

“Do you think you can chase me away with five dollars?”

Meng Ting felt slightly wronged.

What’s wrong with five dollars, it is quite a lot, this year, this could buy 5 of those 1 dollar ice creams. And even go for one dumpling dish. 

He tsked, and squatted in front of her, smiling as said: “Meng Ting.”

“Yes?” She looked at him.

“I don’t want your money, this Friday after school come to watch my basketball match.” He said, “Do you understand?” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ɴovᴇlꜰirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

On Friday, it was the basketball league, all the high schools in H city would participate. Because Li Cai was the biggest and the newest, so the competition would be held there. 

Meng Ting tightened her grip on the five-dollar note. Was Jiang Ren that short and desperate for fans? 

She didn’t even like to watch basketball matches.

“I have an exam on Friday.”

The smile in his eyes disappeared, his tone turned cold: “After your exam, the competition hasn’t ended. Your school would be playing too.”

She confusedly took a look at him.

He said: “So, you have to come.”

No matter who you’re voting for, you have to come.

Because only if she did come, she would see how he would destroy the bunch of nerds from Seven High.
