Chapter 886 - Ji Jingxu’s School Life (1/2)
While Lu Tian immerses in work and Yue Ling makes her way to An Qing, in another part of Imperial, a young man is seen walking the streets of Imperial holding an umbrella.
He wore a navy uniform and carried his school bag on his back as he made his way to school.
His head was down, and he walked past the crowd, not once bumping into anyone.
When he arrived at his destination, he finally lifted his head.
Students wearing the same colored uniform walk past him as laughter sounds from them as they enter the gate to school. However, he doesn't take another step but stares at the school building in front of him.
The rain that dropped onto the ground was like music to the ear, but for anyone who saw him, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.
It was like the rain combined with the young man's expression were a scene out of a movie based on tragedy.
”Jingxu!”
A voice calls out as a car pulls up to the school's front gate in the next moment. Ji Jingxu looks at the school one last time before turning to the owner of the voice.
He sees his energetic friend Zhuang Li.
After sending the driver off, the young man exits the car with an umbrella and walks over to Ji Jingxu.
”Are you alright? Why are you just standing there?”
Ji Jingxu stares at his friend for a long second, then shrugs his shoulder with indifference. It was as if the sad scene of him in the rain had never happened.
”It's nothing.”
He walks towards the school gate but accidentally bumps into a group of young men wearing the same uniform as him.
One member of the group turns around to see who has bumped into him. Seeing that it was Ji Jingxu, one corner of his lip curls up into a sneer, and he scoffs.
”I was wondering who it was that bumped into me. It was none other than the freeloader of the Ji family.”
Ji Jingxu stares at the young man with a face void of any emotions. He looked unbothered by the young man's words, but unlike him, Zhuang Li's expression darkens.
He (Zhuang Li) took a step forward but was stopped by Ji Jingxu.
Seeing this, the young man laughs in ridicule.
”Pathetic. Why are you even here? Are you out of food? Is that why you come to school every day?”
His words sound, and his group of friends didn't forget to chime in a historical laugh.
Ji Jingxu glanced from one person to another before stopping at the young man he bumped. He contemplated whether he should retaliate or just act like they didn't exist.
For him, fighting with this group was easy since he trained with the soldiers at the Ji Mansion every day. He even learned a few new tricks on how to win against a group.
However, after careful thinking, he looks away from each person.
”Zhuang Li, let's go.”
He ignores the group of people laughing and walks through the gate to school.
Zhuang Li was fuming with anger, but seeing Ji Jingxu feign ignorance, he decided to do the same. He catches up to his friend and heaves a sigh.
”Why do you even put up with them? They deserve a beating for always looking down on others.”
