Jiang Xiao took a sneak peek at Han Jiangxue’s figure and only turned to look at the youth with the buzz cut after she disappeared. “How about the tiles?”
“Huh?” Rather stunned, the youth with the buzz cut hurriedly continued, “I’ll pay for it! Brother Medic, I’m not boasting, but we’re really wealthy.”
Jiang Xiao said, “These mops…”
The youth with the buzz cut answered, “Hah, that’s a piece of cake. The school will replace them.”
Jiang Xiao said, “Your injuries…”
Scratching his head and pretending to be clueless, the youth with the buzz cut said, “Injuries? Where? Who’s injured?”
“He’s injured, isn’t he? He’s passed out.” Jiang Xiao picked up the 500 yuan and tossed it at the skinny youth’s face.
“Oh, oh, him. Well, the three of us are equipped with skills and we were just planning to find a quieter place for sparring. I accidentally hit him too hard. It’s alright, I’ll send him to the medic room later. It’s no big issue at all.”
“Alright.” Jiang Xiao noticed that the skinny youth’s eyes were all squinted and narrow. After observing for a while, Jiang Xiao smiled and decided not to expose him. “I’ll take my leave then.”
“Great, Brother Medic. We know each other now. I promise I won’t bully anyone or get involved with Gao Junchen anymore from now on. Shall we go get some barbecued skewers tomorrow night?” asked the youth with the buzz cut whose attitude gave Jiang Xiao a great shock.
“Me? Have barbecued skewers with you?” Jiang Xiao asked.
“Of course. Haven’t you heard the old saying made famous by an artist? There’s nothing that can’t be solved with a meal of skewers,” the youth with the buzz cut said while sticking a finger up.
Jiang Xiao asked, “What if there is something?”
…
After Han Jiangxue entered the class, Xia Yan’s eyes lit up immediately and she stared at Han Jiangxue until the latter sat in front of her.
Xia Yan asked eagerly, “How did it go? How did it go?”
“What do you mean?” Han Jiangxue took out a math book from her desk while speaking.
“I mean Xiaopi. What did you say to him?” Xia Yan asked eagerly. It turned out that Han Jiangxue had gone to the assembly ground of Class 2 to look for Jiang Xiao for a heart-to-heart talk. Ever since she and Xia Yan witnessed everything in the canteen and after hearing Xia Yan’s continuous feed of information, Han Jiangxue decided to teach Jiang Xiao a lesson.
To Xia Yan’s surprise, Han Jiangxue didn’t seem to have any emotions.
Don’t be mistaken. Han Jiangxue wasn’t an emotional person in the first place, but if she had really taught Jiang Xiao a lesson, some of her feelings would still show, regardless of how perfect her pretense may be.
“They’re probably just teammates. It’s not too bad, everything is alright,” Han Jiangxue said nonchalantly. She stared at the writings on the blackboard and tried to catch up with what she had missed during her absence of more than 10 minutes from class.
“Eh?” Xia Yan suddenly felt puzzled.
At the same time, Jiang Xiao walked out of the medical room.
After confirming that the bunch of kids wouldn’t make things difficult for him again, he reluctantly accepted the two of them as his underlings and scurried back to the assembly ground of Class 2.
Jiang Xiao could tell from their words how much they yearned for a Medical Awakened.
It seemed that he would be extremely popular since he was the only Medical Awakened in the cohort.
Jiang Xiao could also sense the power of his identity and status. The youth with the crew cut specifically asked about Jiangxue’s identity and became even meeker after confirming that she was the commander of the School Tyrant team.
After dealing with the group of gangsters, Jiang Xiao did not let his guard down because he knew that the mastermind was Gao Junchen.
Some revenge had to be served cold in person.
Some revenge could only be taken sometime later.
After all, the tournament would be beginning in two days and it seemed that Jiang Xiao would be able to trample on Gao Junchen and take revenge on him then.
It would be perfect if he could defeat Gao Junchen and Gao Junwei together.
Although Jiang Xiao could bear with it for two days, he still had to make them feel repulsed. After giving it some thought, a sinister idea came to his mind.
At this moment, in the phalanx of the elite Class 1, Gao Junchen was staring at the empty spots of the three youths who were late to the assembly, though he already knew what they were doing.
However, when Gao Junchen realized that Jiang Xiao had returned to his class, all alive and well, while his three underlings had yet to do so, he began to worry and wonder what was going on.
Could it be that this newbie is really something?
Has he settled the three of them?
Feeling anxious and worried, Gao Junchen finally made it to break time. He eagerly whipped out his mobile phone and began sending text messages and calling the three of them.
However, he did not receive any response.
Huh?
What’s going on?
The students of Class 2 had already dispersed and began to rest. Gao Junchen stared at Jiang Xiao quietly and noticed that he seemed to be discussing something with his teammates who were surrounding him in concern.
Gao Junchen and Jiang Xiao happened to make eye contact during the process.
After all, they were on the same field and the phalanxes of Class 1 and Class 2 were rather near each other. Jiang Xiao managed to get a clear view of him.
This kid is rather handsome.
His features are decent.
His skin was fair and clean while his hair was slightly long but not excessively so, with his fringe laying in front of his head neatly. He looked rather Korean and was a handsome young chap.
Jiang Xiao comforted the Zhu brothers and expressed gratitude to them while whipping out his mobile phone and moving his feet closer to Yi Lianna.
“Our Lianna is really charming. Let’s report them to the teachers together with that damned Gao Junchen,” Liu Ke said while clenching her fist and stomping her feet angrily.
“Hey, what for? Don’t do it. It’s matters between men. I’ve already settled it,” said Jiang Xiao, pretending to be brash and shooting down Liu Ke’s idea. He continued in a different tone, “Besides, I’ve already beaten them into a pulp. Actually… honestly, I’m a little afraid they will complain to the teachers about me.”
“Ah, you were defending yourself. It wouldn’t be wrong even if you were to beat them to death,” said Liu Ke, who was angered and seemed to be displeased with Jiang Xiao’s answer.
“The information on the internet says that the best method for defense is to run away,” said Yi Lianna, who then turned to look at Jiang Xiao apologetically. “I’m sorry, Classmate Jiang. I’ll go talk to him after class.”
The younger brother Zhu Wu chimed in, seemingly trying to prove his masculinity. “Talk? What for? What’s there to talk about? Do you know him?”
“Of course not, people like him are disgusting.” Yi Lianna looked in the direction of Class 1 and turned to look at Jiang Xiao again. “I’m really sorry, I…”
“It’s alright, why don’t you help me out again?” Jiang Xiao smiled and moved towards Yi Lianna.
“What else do you want?” Yi Lianna stared at Jiang Xiao in amusement as she realized his intentions. Seemingly a little shy, Jiang Xiao stopped looking at his mobile phone or Yi Lianna and instead turned to look elsewhere.
He almost whistled and rubbed his heel against the ground.
Greatly stunned, Yi Lianna asked, “Do you want to anger him?”
She snapped back to reality and discovered at Jiang Xiao was staring at Gao Junchen from Class 1.
Beneath his bowl-like hair, Gao Junchen’s clean and fair face turned pale and he trembled uncontrollably, seemingly greatly infuriated.
“You seem rather dauntless,” Yi Lianna remarked as she stopped smiling. She continued worriedly, “Are you sure you want to do that?”
“He’s being such a bully. What’s there to consider?” Jiang Xiao added, “However, I still need to seek your approval.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Do it! How could we be afraid of him?” Zhu Wu suddenly exclaimed.
“Sure, go ahead and deal with him. Let me do it. You’re bad at finding the right angle. You’re such a dimwit, my double chin is going to show at this angle.” Yi Lianna snatched Jiang Xiao’s mobile phone away with her right hand and raised it high up in the air. She touched Jiang Xiao’s arm and said, “Look at the camera.”
Jiang Xiao turned and smiled at the camera of the mobile phone.
Ka-cha.
