Chapter 208: Chapter 185 Nothing Happened

The last class of the afternoon.

Study period.

Jiang Ning was scrolling through his phone when a new QQ Space update popped up.

He clicked to check it out.

Dan Kaiquan had posted a status:

“It’s normal for you not to reply to my messages; we’re just normal friends. I’m the one who crossed the boundary.”

Below it was a selfie of Dan Kaiquan, a very contemporary styled ’tilted head selfie,’ which looked exceptionally real due to the lack of photo retouching.

Jiang Ning gave him a thumbs up.

Geng Lu also gave a thumbs up.

Dan Kaiquan gazed at the like notification, hoping Bai Yuxia would see his status.

Suddenly, a comment appeared:

“Son, what’s wrong?”

It was a comment from Dan Kaiquan’s dad.

Dan Kaiquan had forgotten to block his dad. He quickly deleted his dad’s comment and then hid his space from him.

He messaged his dad privately: “Dad, don’t you have work to do?”

Mr. Shan: “The company boss treated us to a meal today.”

Dan Kaiquan typed: “Dad, keep up the good work and aim for a promotion sooner (fighting)!”

…

The four back row connected seats.

After so much hesitation and contemplation, Guo Kunnan finally confessed to Manman.

He was well aware from the start that it was all wrong, that he was deceiving Manman.

The torment and the moral condemnation were constant battles within him.

Guo Kunnan admitted he indeed had used a false identity to deceive Manman, but as he got to know her better through their conversations, he found himself liking her more and more. His feelings for Manman were truly sincere.

Ma Shicheng once told him to continue deceiving Manman using the ‘sunk cost’ tactic to win her over.

That method seemed practical, but Guo Kunnan didn’t use it.

He had his limits.

Guo Kunnan took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked around the classroom.

Huang Zhongfei sat calmly at the podium, good-looking in a way that even other boys found handsome.

Tall, handsome, academically strong, popular, from a good family.

Many times, Guo Kunnan thought how great it would be if he were Huang Zhongfei?

All the things he couldn’t have, Huang Zhongfei got effortlessly.

Guo Kunnan knew many boys in class envied Huang Zhongfei.

He envied him too, but on second thought, there was nothing to envy.

Since he was Guo Kunnan, then he was Guo Kunnan; he could only walk his own path.

Guo Kunnan felt relieved, his mindset impeccably adjusted.

He was determined to take his relationship with Manman seriously.

Even if he lost the bet, he wouldn’t be sad.

He greeted Manman as usual and they started chatting.

In a moment, Guo Kunnan typed out a line:

“Manman, actually there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you for a while.”

That afternoon, Guo Kunnan revealed the truth.

Time passed slowly, yet quickly.

Two minutes later.

Guo Kunnan was crestfallen, his expression extremely sorrowful.

His hands trembled as he rapidly tapped the screen:

“I’m sorry Manman, so sorry.”

“At least don’t delete me as a friend, okay.”

“I won’t give up (crying) (crying),” Guo Kunnan pleaded softly.

Manman: “You’ve surrendered, you’re truly the top scumbag.”

Reading this line, Guo Kunnan’s heart sank; his dignity was severely wounded by Manman, then trampled underfoot.

The woman he once poured his heart out to could say such malicious words.

Still stifling his sadness, he replied:

“Don’t, Manman!”

Unfortunately, the message didn’t go through; before the message bubble, there stood a red exclamation mark.

He had been blocked by Manman.

…

Joy and sorrow are not transmitted from one person to another.

Guo Kunnan was too heartbroken to eat because of his emotional pain.

While Jiang Ning had brought back several snacks.

He and Xue Yuantong ate at their desks, and Xue Yuantong accidentally overate.

It was all Jiang Ning’s fault for buying so much food!

Xue Yuantong said, “Jiang Ning, help me up; I want to go see the empire I’ve conquered with my own hands.”

Jiang Ning lent a hand.

Xue Yuantong got up after a rest: “Let’s go for a walk on the field.”

“Once in eight hundred years,” Jiang Ning replied.

“You go throw the trash out; I’ll wait for you at the door.”

As Jiang Ning was disposing of the trash, he saw a soulless Guo Kunnan sitting at his desk.

Wang Longlong said: “He’s been like this since the afternoon.”

Jiang Ning nodded lightly and left with Xue Yuantong.

They headed towards Experimental Class 1, planning to take the staircase there.

They bumped into Lin Zida from Class 1.

Lin Zida glanced over and greeted: “Jiang Ning, are you taking a little kid for a walk?”

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

Last time Lin Zida was playing a handheld game on the corridor balcony, Jiang Ning stood next to him scrolling on his phone, and Lin Zida was astounded to see Jiang Ning checking news on console games. There weren’t many console gamers in Yuzhou, and to meet someone with the same interest was surprising. He and Jiang Ning chatted back and forth a few times, which led to a nodding acquaintance.

Xue Yuantong glared at him and snarled: “You’re the little kid.”

Lin Zida let out a dry laugh.

“Let’s go,” Jiang Ning said.

He pulled the huffing Xue Yuantong away, remembering that Xue Yuantong wasn’t like this before. At the start of the school year, when people called her a little kid or a primary school student, she would swallow her anger and curse them in her heart.

But after getting closer to him, it’s as if she had a backup and grew bolder, learning to talk back.

“Jiang Ning, do I look like a little kid?” Xue Yuantong asked him, looking up, once they reached the bottom of the stairs.

“Hmm, no.”

“You’re definitely comforting me. Hmph, watch me grow taller tonight.”

“I’m going to reach one meter sixty and show them not to underestimate me,” Xue Yuantong said seriously.

Jiang Ning teased: “One meter sixty isn’t enough; how about you shoot for two meters sixty?”

“No good, too tall, I’ll bump my head entering doors, and that hurts.”
