Chapter 4

After practicing for an hour, Jiang Lingzhi closed the piano lid, rubbed her sore fingers, sat down at her desk, opened her backpack, and took out the mathematics practice paper that she had to finish today.

Just as she was about to start writing, she suddenly thought of something again.

She took out her notebook, bit down on the cap of her pen, and reminisced for a while before writing a few words on the notebook.

‘What is that boy called?’

‘Brother Lan?’

‘Brother Nan?’

Before she could figure it out, she heard someone knocking on the door, and Lu Yuping’s voice sounded through it. “Zhizhi, go down and have your meal before doing your homework.”

Jiang Lingzhi quickly snapped her notebook shut and placed it inside her drawer. “Got it, I’ll go down right now.”

Nanyang High School was a little different from other schools. Most of the other schools would band their students into two streams, arts and science, after the final exams of the first semester and the beginning of the second year of high school.

However, their second year had already started for almost a month and they still had not yet received any notice about the banding into the arts and science streams.

After a few moments of silence, Jiang Lingzhi politely declined, “It’s okay, Class President, I can get home rather quickly by taking the bus. My home is only seven stops away.”

“Um...” He Di scratched the back of his head before explaining, “You’re a girl, and I’m just worried that it might not be safe for you to go home alone.”

Their school was beside No. 36 High School.

On Jiang Lingzhi’s way home, she would definitely have to pass by the old city district, which was rather rowdy and chaotic. Hence, he made that suggestion.

If he went home with her, he would be able to talk to her along the way.

Seemingly feeling that his comment had exposed his intentions, He Di’s ears turned red, and he quickly added, “I don’t have any other intentions. After all, Teacher has already said that classmates should help each other out...”

“...”

It was so silent that Wen Yujing felt embarrassed for the class president across the aisle.

“Thank you, Class President, I will pay attention to my safety.” Jiang Lingzhi smiled at him.

He Di immediately blushed quickly when he saw her smile and forgot his agenda for a while. “Be careful then, I’ll get going. Good-goodbye.”

After saying that, he walked out of the classroom in a panicked manner without waiting for Jiang Lingzhi to respond.

Most of the people in the classroom had already left, and only a few students, who stayed in the school dormitory, were still playing with each other.
