Chapter 6: Irritation

Xie Zhe returned to the classroom with a bottle of milk tea and leisurely walked back to his desk. Once he sat down, he noticed Qin Xu sitting next to him spinning a pen in his hands while in daze. It was a very unusual sight.

Xie Zhe took a sip of his milk tea and licked his lips: “Xu brother what’s wrong? You’re looking as if you are looking at your lover. Don’t tell me this pen just transformed into a peerless beauty and snatched your soul away?”

Qin Xu ignored the jesting words of his and tilted his head while fiddling around with the pen. He suddenly said: “Jiang Yang just lent me this pen. Jiang Yang.”

He even specially repeated and emphasised that person’s name. His dark eyes were filled with incomprehension.

Hearing those words, Xie Zhe couldn’t help but reveal a very surprised expression. He looked up at that person sitting in the distance, “Him? Really?”

Taking a sip of his milk tea, Xie Zhe thought about it and reported his analysis: “This definitely isn’t because he went crazy. Although the act of lending a pen may seem insignificant, it actually hides a deep meaning. Based on my speculations, I think he probably wanted to apologise to you but is too proud to say it so he did it through the lending you the pen instead.”

Finishing his speculations, he even nodded his head in approval at his own words. As for Qin Xu, only he knew whether or not he was listening and whether or not he agreed with his analysis.

Qin Xu rolled the pen around in his hand and once again fell into deep thought. Soon afterwards, he looked down and continued to work on his homework acting as if nothing had happened.

On the other hand, Jiang Yang did not expect that such a small matter would be interpreted in so many different ways by the other students. He simply thought that it was shameful of him to express goodwill to his enemy and, every time he managed to complete a task, he would breathe a sigh of relief. Returning back to his seat, he internally cursed at the system. As the system had not been installed the swearing function, it could only respond seriously: “Swearing is wrong.”

This made Jiang Yang feel powerless as if he had just punched cotton with all his energy.

Between classes, Jiang Yang got up preparing to head to the bathroom. Reaching the doorway, two female students appeared in front of him with their hands filled with a stack of books. The door blocked their view and by the time they saw him, it was too late to dodge. The girl standing closest to Jiang Yang turned around trying to avoid hitting him but Jiang Yang reacted agilely and stretched his long arms out to support the books for her.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Jiang Yang. She couldn’t help but blush and immediately bow down her heard.

Jiang Yang didn’t notice this and continued to walk out but at this moment a mechanical sound once again sounded in his mind: “Random task: Please help Qin Xu get his language book. Time limit is ten minutes. If you fail, there will be a punishment.”

Jiang Yang stopped his footsteps, took a deep breath and told himself to calm down. Only after that did he turn around with a calm expression and tried to act natural: “Xu Ting Ting, leave the books on the podium. Later I will help you hand it out.”

The girl who had already held up the first book preparing to hand it out to the owner froze. It wasn’t just her, the other students nearby who heard this was also stupefied. Why is Jiang Yang suddenly wanting to help out the language class assistants? Did he change his romantic target? Does he no longer like the school idol?

A group of onlookers chewed on sunflower seeds as their brain filled with various ridiculous theories.

As for the person who said those words, he had already turned around and left the classroom. The other party, Xu Ting Ting, remained standing there with a look of confusion on her innocent face while her friend nearby teased her. Sidling up next to her ears she whispered: “Jiang Yang rarely takes the initiative to help girls. This is unusual~”

Xu Ting Ting looked down ignoring her. She jogged over to the podium where the books sat, grabbed her own workbook from the pile and returned to her seat.

At the bathroom, Jiang Yang twisted open the faucet and washed his hands in a bad mood.

The system reminded him: “Suddenly telling a girl that you’re helping her distribute out the workbooks, what if she misunderstands? Also, if she didn’t want your help and distributed the books herself then you would fail the task. The task is for you to help Qin Xu get his book. You can just take yours and his from the pile.”

Jiang Yang begrudgingly replied: “I don’t want to.” It would make it seem as if their relationship was good.

But with the system mentioning the fact that he may fail the task, he hastened his steps back to the classroom. Seeing that the workbooks were still there when he entered the room, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief. He then casually picked up the stack of workbooks and began distributing them out in order. At the same time he absentmindedly thought —— Where’s Qin Xu’s?

He hoped that the next one would be his so that he could quickly finish the task.

After distributing more than half of it, he finally saw Qin Xu’s name. Written in the blank space on the cover, his words looked powerful and elegant. Seeing those words he couldn’t help but feel irritated but he also had to admit that his handwriting is very nice to look at. Every time the class needed to write announcements on the blackboard they would always ask him to write but Qin Xu wouldn’t always agree. His willingness to help depended on his mood.

Jiang Yang moved his lips slightly and softly snorted before striding over to Qin Xu’s desk. He placed down his workbook without a hint of hesitation the same way he had done so for the other classmates. He then turned around preparing to distribute out the next workbook.

However Qin Xu suddenly spoke up rudely and blocked his path, “Jiang Yang, since when did you become so helpful?”
