Chapter 54 – The Cold and Lonely Top Student VS The School Bully Little Wolf Dog (3)
In reality, the original host wasn’t inherently bad. He knew his aunt had always cared for him, but over the years, not having achieved anything respectable, he felt embarrassed to face her. So, he simply went with the flow.
The original host’s wish, if given another chance, was to work earnestly in society, even if he was too dull to get into college. He wanted to earn money to properly support his aunt and be a good person.
“This wish isn’t difficult to fulfill,” Mu Jin nodded in satisfaction, starting to absorb the memories of the original host. However, after the memory absorption, Mu Jin realized that the original host had caused trouble for his old lover earlier in the day.
Rubbing his forehead in slight distress, although feeling a bit guilty, Mu Jin gathered his spirits and walked towards the classroom.
Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door and entered the classroom. Facing campus life for the first time, Mu Jin found it refreshing. The classroom was filled with teenagers in school uniforms, exuding youthful vibes.
Upon seeing Mu Jin return, Teacher Wang immediately frowned and said, “We’ve already been in class for quite a while. Did you sneak off somewhere to play again?”
Mu Jin instantly shook his head with a playful smile, telling Teacher Wang, “How could that be, Teacher Wang? You can’t wrongly accuse people. I just had a bit of stomach trouble, so I spent some extra time in the restroom.”
Teacher Wang was their class teacher, just over forty but with a severe baldness issue. He always wore gold-rimmed glasses, had a strict demeanor, but was very serious when it came to teaching, truly living up to the title of an educator.
Mu Jin still respected serious individuals like Teacher Wang. Since the original host was inclined to make jokes, he didn’t argue and found a way to handle the situation with a few words.
However, upon hearing Mu Jin’s words, Teacher Wang seemed somewhat unconvinced. After all, the original host and a few troublesome kids in the class often played truant and smoked.
So, Teacher Wang purposely leaned in, sniffed around Mu Jin, confirmed no smell of smoke, then seriously examined him, advising, “Come back earlier next time. Learn something good at such a young age and don’t always cause trouble!”
“Yes!” Mu Jin quickly nodded upon hearing Teacher Wang’s words, then hurriedly walked towards his seat. Only then did he notice that his beloved was sitting in the seat in front of him.
Feeling a bit happy, Mu Jin blinked his eyes at his lover’s broad back, feeling blissful. Deeply moved, he thought that they were truly destined for each other, having seats so close; it was pure fate.
When he passed by Qi Changfeng earlier, Mu Jin wanted to take a good look at his lover’s appearance in this life. Unfortunately, Qi Changfeng’s bangs were too long, covering his eyes, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
Still, Mu Jin felt that his lover didn’t dress as shabbily as mentioned in the previous plot. Since everyone at Shenglin High School wore uniforms, it was just a matter of having a couple of extra outfits.
His lover’s school uniform was clean but a bit worn, and looking at his belongings, there was nothing extraordinary. It seemed that Qi Changfeng focused all his energy on studying and didn’t care about these clothes. He usually washed and changed just two sets, and the shirts inside were somewhat yellowed, explaining why other students might mistake him for being financially strained.
Secretly relieved that the seating arrangement in the class wasn’t based on height, Mu Jin sat behind Qi Changfeng daydreaming, completely ignoring what the teacher was saying.
After a while, Teacher Wang had the class monitor distribute the papers from the last quiz. Mu Jin, staring at the physics paper, was suddenly awakened by the displayed 15 points.
Unable to help a twitch at the corner of his mouth, even though he had grown up without formal education, these 15 points were truly embarrassing.
Searching through the original host’s memories, it seemed that, except for chemistry, where he usually scored around fifty, the grades in other subjects were hovering around the teens. No wonder the original host couldn’t pass the college entrance exam with these scores; even a fairy wouldn’t be able to save him.
However, Mu Jin wasn’t too flustered. After all, even though a fairy couldn’t save the original host, he himself was a fairy. With the power of their divine souls, passing an exam should be a piece of cake, even with total recall. Thinking this, Mu Jin quickly checked Qi Changfeng’s score in front.
It was a perfect score!
Indeed, my lover is so outstanding!
Speaking of this lifetime’s old seme character, he is a study genius. Mu Jin rubbed his chin, thinking that maybe he could make good use of his own poor student attribute.
The bell for the end of class quickly rang. Although Teacher Wang at the podium was still unwilling to stop, he understood the need to give students some rest time.
Just as Teacher Wang left the classroom, a few male classmates exchanged glances, then spontaneously gathered around Qi Changfeng, surrounding him.
One of them, with a crew cut and no reservations, grabbed Qi Changfeng’s test paper, waved it in his hand, and, with a malicious smile, said, “Full marks! The study genius is really amazing. With such excellent grades, you surely don’t need to review the test paper. How about letting me change the name and show off at home?”
Qi Changfeng frowned at the words, not caring about a test paper. However, Teacher Wang had specially marked several major questions on the paper, which needed to be rewritten and handed in again when returning home. If the paper was taken away, it would be troublesome.
Mu Jin blinked, watching this scene unfold. Through the memories of the original host, he remembered that these swaggering boys were the original host’s good buddies.
Regarding this test paper matter, it seemed that the original host had hinted to these guys that he didn’t like Qi Changfeng. The elder brothers usually found faults with others, and the younger brothers naturally followed suit.
According to the original host, having a study genius, a soft persimmon easily pinched, was convenient for them, the poor students. But now that it was Mu Jin, knowing that Qi Changfeng was his lover, he couldn’t let others bully him.
Before he could say anything, a pleasant female voice sounded. A girl in a white dress, looking pure and sweet, walked towards them.
The girl spoke with a sense of justice to everyone, “What are you doing! Are you bullying Qi Changfeng again?”
“Your grades are not good, and you want to snatch a classmate’s test paper. Such behavior is really despicable. Mu Jin, why are you always like this!”
“Huh?” Mu Jin heard the female lead’s accusations, revealing a different expression. He had been sitting at his desk since the end of class, without saying a word. So, was this the legendary “getting hit while lying down”?
Although this matter was indeed related to the original host, Mu Jin decided not to shoulder this blame.
So, he used his pinky to clean his ears, casually stood up, and said to Bai Lingling, “Where did you see that I had anything to do with this? I’ve been sitting here since the end of class, not saying a word.”
“But they’re obviously bullying Qi Changfeng because of your implied meaning! Bullying a classmate is against the school rules!” The female lead, upon hearing Mu Jin’s words, immediately retorted angrily.
Mu Jin naturally knew that Bai Lingling was right. However, even if the original host had ruined his image, he still had to struggle desperately in front of his lover.
Adhering to the principle of not losing face, Mu Jin retorted without reservation, “Did you see me telling them to do this? Even if they took Qi Changfeng’s test paper, it’s just envy for the study genius’s grades. Making a couple of jokes about it isn’t turning it into a big deal.”
“Moreover, when lecturing others, one should think about themselves first. Our school has regulations; students must wear uniforms. Your dress is alluring and doesn’t comply with the requirements, right?”
Upon hearing Mu Jin’s words about her, Bai Lingling blushed. In fact, she had transferred to this school a while ago, and the uniform had long been prepared. However, the plain uniform was not as nice as her own clothes, so she wanted to delay wearing it for a day, not expecting Mu Jin to point it out directly.
The female lead was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl; how much cunning could she have? Hearing that the matter involved her, she naturally lost her confidence, stomped her foot in anger, and left.
Seeing Bai Lingling leave, Mu Jin coolly adjusted his collar. Turning his head to the boys around him, he waved his hand and said, “Alright, disperse. Why are you always gathering here? Aren’t you afraid of affecting other people’s studying?”
As he spoke, he snatched back Qi Changfeng’s test paper and placed it on his desk.
Although the surrounding little brothers were a bit surprised at Mu Jin’s words, they didn’t want to undermine Mu Jin’s face, seeing that he truly wanted them to disperse. They all left one after another.
While Mu Jin and Bai Lingling’s commotion had attracted the attention of many in the class, Qi Changfeng, the central figure of the incident, remained unaffected from start to finish, showing no reaction whatsoever.
Mu Jin, watching his lover’s nonchalant attitude, found it quite amusing. In the future, there would be plenty of opportunities to gain favorability in front of his lover.
The bell for the next class soon rang, and everyone returned to their respective seats. Mu Jin still sat behind Qi Changfeng, happily daydreaming for the entire class.
After this class, it was lunchtime. Although Mu Jin really wanted to have lunch with his lover, considering their current awkward situation, he decided to follow the original host’s usual practice and joined his little brothers.
During lunchtime, Mu Jin, accompanied by several brothers, came to a small garden behind the school. He had 003 investigate in advance, knowing that Qi Changfeng would always come here for lunch.
this girl is so …. lol good intentions leading to doom
