Chapter 226: Chapter 194: Previously Fond of Oppa, Now Fond of Xiba

Jiang Nian was working on a problem when he heard the commotion and turned towards the back rows.

He had already heard from Lin Dong about Yang Qiming’s recent misfortune, and as someone in the know, he could only say that his buddy was quite tragic.

What seamless transition? It’s just a euphemism for being cheated on.

I don’t know who came up with this comforting term, as if it creates a buffer zone between cheating and making mistakes.

Cheated on me? Kill, kill, kill!!

Seamless transition? She’ll change.

I’ve checked her zodiac sign; she’s just a free spirit. She’s not cheating; once feelings deepen, she’ll settle down.

This is the power of words.

"Yang, Yang!"

Huang Caicai, extremely nervous, lowered his head, urgently whispering to Yang Qiming.

His eyes darted like a targeted gun, looking left then intently at the podium.

Yang Qiming slowly came to, his expression a bit numb.

Some people, even though alive, have souls repeatedly baked until utterly lifeless.

But when the math teacher saw this expression, it was a different story.

"Stand up!"

Zhou Yuting, catching Yang Qiming’s movement from the corner of her eye, couldn’t help covering her face.

Help.

Help me, I don’t want to stay in this group.

Maybe I should talk to the homeroom teacher; if I don’t change desks soon, I’ll really die. This is the first time I want to change seats, not because I dislike my desk mate.

In terms of personality, both oddballs are quite nice.

Yang Qiming, when not acting up, is quite enthusiastic and always answers when spoken to.

Huang Caicai is a bit silly, but never does his gaze go below respectful. He’s a good person, it’s just... he often says strange things.

Especially when Yang Qiming acts up, the two playing off each other is painfully awkward.

Seriously, what’s Huang Caicai’s deal?

Zhou Yuting couldn’t figure it out; did Yang Qiming catch him committing a crime?

Back of the classroom.

Yang Qiming sat expressionless with a book, his mind in disarray, unable to comprehend the math teacher’s words.

He desperately wanted to know what he did wrong to face such seamless transitioning. If they’d simply broken up, he wouldn’t be as upset.

Unable to grasp it, he kept pondering.

At the moment the bell rang, Yang Qiming suddenly understood. It wasn’t seamless; whether seamless or not wasn’t the painful part.

It was just a matter of time. The fact was, they’d broken up.

He had been cheated on.

This was the true source of his misery!

What is seamless? Cheating first, then breaking up. Isn’t it just cheating while hiding it, waiting for a chance to break up?

Damn, that’s utterly shameless!

After class, Huang Caicai came over.

"Yang, you okay?"

Having just reached a realization, Yang Qiming’s expression was still dazed. Yet his eyes began to clear, no longer as lifeless as stagnant water, showing signs of revival.

"Yeah, I’m fine."

Huang Caicai felt a bit guilty; Yang was so upset yesterday while he overate and had to walk off the food on the rooftop until midnight.

"Yang, stay strong."

On hearing this, Yang Qiming’s eyes regained clarity.

The pain of betrayal couldn’t instantly be assuaged, but seeing Caicai and others care so much inspired him to pick himself up and not worry them.

"Thank you, Caicai."

Huang Caicai was baffled, unsure what Yang was thanking him for, but still showed a simple, honest smile.

"No need, Yang. It’s what I should do."

...

Right after school in the afternoon, Jiang Nian dashed off.

He had plans with Xu Qianqian to take advantage of the afternoon to cycle to Zhennan Square for some ring-toss fun.

They didn’t plan for the weekend mainly because they’re familiar with each other. No need for pretenses, they could get straight to the fun and head back to class, no need to waste a perfectly good break.

Why not just stay home, sleep, and watch some videos during a break?

Third floor.

"Let’s go, let’s go!" After meeting up with Xu Qianqian, Jiang Nian urged, "Hurry, hurry, we’ll have to make a trip back home after gathering all the stuff."

"Yeah, right," Xu Qianqian said unimpressed.

That ring toss looks easy but requires skill. Impatiently throwing the ring leads to a disappointing performance, not even a splash.

Simply put, a total money-loser.

Jiang Nian glanced at her, too lazy to argue.

"Why are you talking so much? Stop dawdling."

"It’s a minimum twenty-minute round trip; we might have to go home. The ring toss takes at most ten minutes, and I want to enjoy some hot food."

Xu Qianqian, unconcerned, hummed under her breath.

"You think you’re all that."

The two headed out of the school gate, hopped on an electric bike, and rode towards Zhennan Square.

Xu Qianqian didn’t have high expectations, just wanted to unwind. Having watched others play ring toss but never trying it, she seized the chance for a couple of rounds.

Zhennan Square is about five kilometers from school, in Zhennan County’s northern region. Further north lies Zhennan Market, specializing in various oils, grains, and mountain goods.

As night fell, Zhennan Square came alive.

Various food stalls, clothing vendors, toy sellers, everything was available. Including games of all sorts, like ring toss, ball catching, and number writing.

The two weren’t wearing their school uniforms, slightly lacking the sweet couple vibe.

Amid the crowd, several people glanced back at the odd pair of teenagers, first thinking, wow, they’re pretty; second, thinking, what a strange couple.

"How about this one?" Jiang Nian asked.

"Don’t rush, Zhennan Square has two ring toss stalls," Xu Qianqian pulled him along, "compare prices and see who has better prizes."

The stall keeper, a young woman with a decent figure, wore a military green crossbody bag and carried a bundle of colorful rings in her hand.

She overheard Xu Qianqian’s remark and couldn’t help but laugh.

This little leek is picky.

No need to go; the other stall is mine too. My husband runs it!

Soon, Jiang Nian and Xu Qianqian returned, not because the other stall’s prizes were lacking, but because the male owner was a bit fierce. They walked over just in time to see him arguing with a customer.

Sharing a glance, they quickly withdrew.

Time is money; they had neither the mood nor time to argue with a stall owner.

"Their suppliers seem the same, and the prizes look alike," Xu Qianqian analyzed seriously as they walked back.

"So, what if the two owners are acquaintances and they refuse to honor their deal?"

Noting her concern, Jiang Nian arrogantly declared,

"Just win them all."

Xu Qianqian slapped her forehead, thinking here we go, that mystifying male confidence again.

"Alright, go for it."

The stall wife smiled as she saw them come back, her heart already dancing with joy.

This scene was one she’d witnessed countless times in this square.

With two ring toss stalls, savvy customers typically compared them; seeing her husband scowling while she stayed gentle and well-mannered, they obediently returned.

As long as she maintained good service and provided some emotional value, customers’ excitement often led them to buy dozens or even a hundred rings.

What’s it called again, getting people’s hearts through tricks, age-old wisdom.

In total, three sets of "leeks" arrived, a father-son duo and two couples, the more attractive pair at the end.

When she glanced at the tall, pretty girl, she couldn’t help looking twice. She nostalgically thought of her youth, when every New Year, suitors lined up from Zhen Nan to Zhenbei.

Sadly, while beautiful when young, she was poor. Fortunately, she caught the wave of the times, toiling south in Guangdong until no longer young.

The sweet young housewife now had no blonde admirer, leaving only the neighbor Wang. Not that cheating is impossible, just physically impractical.

"Boss, how much for a ring?" The father-son pair approached, interrupting her thoughts.

"Oh, two yuan each." The boss lady mustered a polite smile, hesitantly adding, "Buy 20 yuan worth, and win or not, get a plush toy."

The middle-aged man, upon hearing the price, responded like any adult with a child, exclaiming and starting mental calculations.

He could afford the price, but spending money on the kid feels wasteful. At this age, a smart child doesn’t play with stones; could they master ring toss?

Like all brats, the child loudly demanded.

"Auntie, I want one hundred."

"Get lost!" The father, clearly knowing what he created, was furious, "Didn’t I tell you last time? This time you’ll learn a lesson, just five!"

The brat immediately went into meltdown mode, rolling on the ground wailing, demanding non-stop.

Until the father raised his hand, the kid begrudgingly stood, hands in pockets, defiantly shouting.

"You’re embarrassing me outside, not fit to be a dad!"

The middle-aged man, angered yet amused, drew his belt.

The kid instantly changed tone, "Dad, I love you."

At the back, Jiang Nian and Xu Qianqian couldn’t help but share a knowing smile, getting both entertainment and a ring toss.

When the couple ahead’s turn came, the boy hesitated, stacking excuses like I’m not good at it, my hand hurts, etc.

Then the girl patted his head, consoling,

"Baby, you’re amazing. Even if you miss, it’s cute. Let’s buy 20 worth for safety."

Jiang Nian glanced at Xu Qianqian, who looked back, both frowning silently communicating.

Jiang: Let’s get a truck and run them over.

Xu: Agreed.

Their turn arrived exactly as night fell, with surrounding lights flickering on.

"Handsome, how many?" The lady boss smiled confidently, not even glancing at the stand.

The father-son duo bought five rings, threw them all, hit nothing, frustrated and spent ten yuan.

The couple, fussing cutely, also hit nothing, practically destined for consolation prizes. A single evening’s stall easily turned a few hundred yuan.

Even experts only managed minor prizes; large plush toys hid secrets.

Not wanting to waste money, Xu Qianqian held up two fingers.

"Let’s just get 20 yuan worth first."

The boss lady felt a bit disappointed, wishing to advise her friend to treat herself. Why leave money for the man’s dowry for someone else?

Then heard the guy beside voluntarily boost the stake, "Why save such a little bit? Let’s go for 40, get 20 rings."
