Chapter 10 - Breakfast (1/2)

Chapter 10: Breakfast

When Xiao Yuxin posted up the seating chart, Jiang Yang tried his best to act indifferent but his line of sight still uncontrollably moved to the chart. He was worried that something may have gone wrong and would result in him failing the task. The punishment this time was too harsh and the task was just a matter of becoming his desk partner; Jiang Yang could just choose to ignore him when they’re sitting together.

After seeing the two names together, Jiang Yang was able to silently breathe a sigh of relief and slightly relax his taut face.

As the other students looked for their own names, Huang Shao lazily returned back to the classroom and saw the commotion in the classroom through the window. He leaned onto the edge of the window and looked towards Jiang Yang: “Are we still desk partners?”

Jiang Yang shook his head.

Huang Shao immediately put on a bitter face and acted miserable: “How can the teacher be so cruel and separate us? This won’t do, I’ll go and talk to the teacher.”

The moment he said this, he had already turned around and ran off. Jiang Yang froze. He was afraid that he would end up running to the teacher and say something that would reveal his lies. Worried, he instantly singlehandedly supported himself with the table and jumped out the window into the corridor outside and prepared to chase after him.

But only after a few steps he saw Huang Shao that bastard returning with a radiant smile.

Jiang Yang’s eyes were filled with confusion: “What are you doing?”

Huang Shao clutched his chest and said shyly: “Oh no, I can feel my heart beating. Can you hear it? It’ll be good if I’m partners with Xu Chun. I just saw her smile, it was super cute~”

Xu Chun is the general committee member in their class. Her personality is soft and introverted, and she doesn’t smile much.

Huang Shao often had his heart in his sleeves and like a mantra, he would fall in love several times a day. Hearing this, Jiang Yang could only roll his eyes and karate chop the top of his head, “Wake up. Stop day dreaming.”

Huang Shao held his head and following him back to the classroom pitifully. Looking at the chart, he saw Jiang Yang’s name and his eyes widened in surprise: “Fuck! Jiang Yang, why are you together with Qin Xu?!”

The whole class: “……….”

Those words were spoken very well. Although everyone understood that he was actually saying; ‘Your mum, why did the teacher put you two together?’ but just hearing his words, it could easily be understood okay?!

Jiang Yang was made speechless. He then noticed a few students talking quietly to each other. The content of their conversations were basically the same as what Huang Shao had said and that is; why is the teacher putting those two together? They would already have disputes despite being seated so far away. Now that they are together wouldn’t there be wars every single day?

Hearing those words, Jiang Yang felt a little complicated inside. Had he always been perceived by his classmates as such an impatient bomb that would explode anytime, anywhere? He had already planned everything out. In the future he would ignore Qin Xu and act like he didn’t have a desk partner. If he doesn’t provoke him then the well water will not mix with the river water and they would both be fine.

Although this seemed obvious, the other students knew Jiang Yang better than he himself. It couldn’t be said that Jiang Yang had a bad temper. If you don’t step on his bottom line then he would naturally not explode but Qin Xu is different. Every time Jiang Yang’s eyes meets his, all his patience disappears and he would lash out instantly.

Jiang Yang listened and subconsciously looked towards Qin Xu’s direction only to see him sitting there lazily with his arm resting on the back of his chair and looking in his direction. Just looking at his eyes it was obvious that he had heard everything.

Jiang Yang couldn’t understand what the meaning behind Qin Xu’s gaze was but the moment their eyes met he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. He purposely moved his eyes away and broke eye contact.

The other classmates saw this and immediately had the same thoughts: See? That’s how it is.

After half an hour everyone had moved according to the new seating plan and greeted the students sitting around them.

During the first evening class following the change in seating plan, Jiang Yang and Qin Xu only looked at each other once and did not talk to each other throughout the whole class. In the end everything was able to pass smoothly.

Jiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief and thought that if things continued like this, then everything would be okay. At present, Jiang Yang could be considered to have gotten used to the existence of the system. With the fact that Qin Xu is asleep and would not know about it, he had also begrudgingly accepted the task of helping cover Qin Xu with his blanket which appeared for the past few nights. Apart from these slight changes, his life continued as usual.

Jiang Yang who thought this quickly slapped himself back to his senses. The next day when he went to buy breakfast at the cafeteria the system suddenly spoke up: “Random task: Please help Qin Xu buy breakfast. Time limit is half an hour. If you fail there will be a punishment.”

Jiang Yang stood in front of the window and almost snapped his meal card in half when he heard this. This damned system!
