Chapter 7: Giving a Hug

Qin Xu looked at him and plastered on his professional smile: “It’s because Wu Tong greeted me. Those workbooks in your arms aren’t our class’s right? What’s with you today going around everywhere helping people carry things? Earlier you even helped Xu Ting Ting distribute books out. Our Jiang Yang really loves to help others~”

Wu Tong blinked as she watched the two of them confront each other with their eyes blazing with fire. She naturally didn’t miss Jiang Yang’s act of going up a few steps to be taller than the other person and couldn’t help but think that these two are immature and cute. She followed suit and also walked up three steps while cheerily adding, “Jiang Yang classmate really is too kind. Those books in his arms are for my class. He saw me carrying them and came to help out.”

Qin Xu glanced at the class number written on the books and saw that it really was Wu Tong’s class. He immediately grabbed half of them and pretentiously said: “Then I will help Jiang Yang classmate out too, lest you get too tired.”

His actions were too fast and Jiang Yang missed the opportunity to dodge and refuse his offer. He could only watch him snatch half of it over while pursing his lips unhappily.

Then, Qin Xu very naturally walked to Jiang Yang’s side and turned his head and body in Wu Tong’s direction to talk. Every time Jiang Yang wanted to say something, he would cleverly redirect the topic and leave Jiang Yang with nothing to say. Although he was clearly between the two he couldn’t help but feel like he was excess baggage.

Seeing Qin Xu chatting with Wu Tong very naturally, he internally grumbled —— What are you faking for? If you love talking that much, I’ll switch positions with you.

Internally he was saying this but of course Jiang Yang would not actually give up his position and let them become even more intimate. Instead he would ‘accidentally’ bump into Qin Xu while walking and even opportunistically grab his arm and pull him back when he stumbles while smiling and saying: “Qin Xu, pay attention when you’re walking. Be careful not to fall.”

Qin Xu obviously noticed this little scheme of his but from Wu Tong’s perspective it was evidently a blind spot and he couldn’t turn around and complain that it was because Jiang Yang pushed him. He could only fake a bright smile and forcefully pat Jiang Yang’s shoulder, “Thank you my D-E-A-R classmate.”

The word Dear was deliberately emphasised and the meaning behind it was evident. The eyes that looked in Jiang Yang’s direction was filled with deep…..murderous intentions.

It was nothing, he was just itching for a fight.

Jiang Yang also smiled back and used his eyes to communicate back silently — Sounds good. I am happy to join you.

Wu Tong watched the two sending laser like glares at each other and, as if she didn’t notice anything unusual going on between them, commented brightly, “You do get along really well~”

Qin Xu held onto the workbooks with one hand and hooked his free arm over Jiang Yang’s shoulders before smiling and saying: “Yes, our relationship is very good.”

Jiang Yang was in disgust and wanted brush of his arms but he suddenly heard the system speak in his mind: “Random task: Please help Qin Xu carry the workbooks. Time limit is three minutes. If you fail, there will be a punishment.”

Hearing that the time limit is very short, Jiang Yang didn’t stop to think before suddenly reaching out to snatch away the workbooks in Qin Xu’s arms. Qin Xu had one arm over his shoulders and could easily feel his movements. He very agilely moved away and dodged, unwilling to let him succeed.

“What are you doing so suddenly?”

Jiang Yang was not in the mood to confront him. He only wanted the workbooks in his hands. He couldn’t help but have a bad feeling. The punishments mentioned by the system would definitely not be something that he would be happy to accept.

“Give me the workbooks. You can go back to the classroom.”

Qin Xu shook his head and said sincerely: “How can I do that? If I help someone, I want to help them until the end. I must deliver these things straight to Wu Tong’s class.”

“It’s just a few books there’s no need for two people. Give it to me.” Jiang Yang held the books in his arms with one hand and held out the other hand showing his palm.

Qin Xu stuck out his tongue and placed his hand onto it. “Here you go.”

Jiang Yang: “………” Annoyed, he threw off his hand.

After saying all those things, Qin Xu still would not cooperate and Jiang Yang couldn’t be bothered continuing talking nonsense with him and just proceeded to make a grab for it. Qin Xu was confused. While happily dodging his attacks, he laughed while provoking: “Why are you so anxious so suddenly? Are there unmentionable secrets in these books?”

Regarding their fighting abilities, Jiang Yang and Qin Xu could be said to be quite comparable. However Qin Xu is good at harassing others and messing with the others’ emotions while Jiang Yang had a bad temper and can be easily angered. Every time they fought in the past he would always lose because of this and curse at the other party for being underhanded.

Three minutes passed by very quickly. Qin Xu dodged while walking speedily towards the classroom and in an instant they had reached class 3. He casually walked in, placed the books onto the podium and patted the surface of the books while looking back at Jiang Yang with a smile: “Now that we’ve reached the destination, do you still want to continue?”

Jiang Yang’s face went dark and begrudgingly dropped off the other half of the books onto the pile of books with the intent to crush his hands under it. Unfortunately Qin Xu’s reflexes were fast and he did not succeed.

Wu Tong followed them from behind and walked into the classroom slowly. Internally she laughed: These two, are they really pursing me? They even forgot about me and left me behind while playing around happily together.”

Although she was thinking this, her thoughts were not exposed on the surface. She only smiled softly and thanked them

Jiang Yang was in a bad mood and Qin Xu who saw this felt elated. He walked beside him and talked non-stop. It was very unlike his usual cold demeanour and he was practically acting like a unruly child that was asking for a beating.
