Chapter 761 - A Congenial Company (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luo Chen from the parallel world may have had his memories merged with the Luo Chen of this world, but both memories still failed to recall anything particular about his classmate, Yuan Shawu. The current Yuan Shawu was a far cry from what little he remembered of the original.
However, this did not prevent him from indulging in the pretty picture. How fortunate he was to have her as a schoolmate. She was this beautiful in the sports uniform, so what would she look like in a prettier dress? Would she not be a goddess?
Luo Chen was terrible with women. It was not like the opportunity rarely presented itself to him. It was not like he could not bathe his eyes in their beauty. It was his lack of guts to strike up a chat with them.
To Luo Chen’s slight surprise, this little beauty actually took the initiative to greet him!
“Luo Chen, I did not know we took the same bus!” Yuan Shawu’s smile was like the friendly girl next door.
She knew his name! Luo Chen hurriedly sifted through his memory. Was the Luo Chen in this world actually connected to this little beauty?
If he did, that might be a problem. In his previous life, he thought himself as one of the brightest people in the world, yet he was single all the time. As he aged, he was forced to go on blind dates. Therefore, he soon developed a fear of family reunions.
In this world, Luo Chen was merely a second-classed high school student with a plain appearance, poor grades and he was most definitely not tall. Luo Chen was not sure if his cheats and talents alone could make up for the shortcomings of such a person. Fortunately, he had the golden finger of “a library of Planet Aqua Blue novels in his brain,” enough to make him a great writer in the world. Without it, his future would have most certainly been bleak.
Luo Chen was certain that one should start a relationship as a high school student. Girls would all be in their best condition. Upon stepping into society, single lady would decline exponentially.
When it came to courting girls, only witty young boys would be winners for life. They would look for girls who came from higher society and cling onto them for life — girls who were of similar standing as Lady Zhao. If they succeeded, they would have nothing to worry about in their future.
Even if they failed to make it last forever, they have had their wonderful moments with these high-quality girls. They had nothing to lose. Upon stepping into society, they just had to look for girls beneath them…
Luo Chen could not find anything in his memories that were related to this beautiful young junior. He smiled awkwardly, scratching his head, “Hello, who are you?”
Both Luo Chens were single and shy. He was awful at dealing with girls, pretty ones especially. It took every fibre in his body to look as aloof as possible.
Yuan Shawu was highly experienced in dealing with such men. The nice smile on her face did not grow any fader and she said, “I’m Yuan Shawu. We’re in the same class. Don’t you recognize me?”
When Luo Chen heard the name, “Yuan Shawu,” his memory banks went to work. All that came back was a gloomy girl who was hardly worth mentioning. She did not have any friends. She did not even go to the bathroom in pairs.
As nobody noticed her existence, nobody bothered to cause any trouble to her. If you did not know that a person existed, how could you put that person in your crosshairs, easy as a target they might be?
Compared to her, Luo Chen was in a far more miserable situation. The school could care less about enforcing discipline. Bullying incidents were neither controlled nor contained. Students resorted to various despicable methods, fighting for the throne. Coincidentally, mobster novels were one of the most popular genres on the Internet, such as “Young And Dangerous.” [1] In this “cultural desert,” there were no hidden forms of power to stem the flow of this poison. Hence, it had greatly influenced the high school environment, which was already terrible with discipline, to begin with.
