Chapter 416: Chapter 382: Xiao Xue’s Invitation

"I’m definitely Jiang Xiao!"

Even if he wasn’t the brightest, he could at least remember his own name.

"No, what I mean is, are you still the Jiang Xiao you used to be?"

Huh?

Jiang Xiao curiously glanced at Wang Qiang.

This kid...

"No, I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about."

"Alright, I thought you might be, sigh..."

Wang Qiang sighed, seemingly disappointed.

"But your memory is really terrible, isn’t it? Don’t you know the consequences of being reported for looking at dirty books? You were called to the office by Master Extinction and then you never came back."

This kind of thing had already happened several times last term.

After all, those kinds of books were taboo, and once reported, a visit to the office for ’tea’ was a certainty.

And the eeriest part was, once a student entered the office, they never reappeared.

"Look at those empty seats; they’re all from people reported for looking at dirty books. The school’s explanation is either expulsion or they say the students took a leave of absence, but who really knows what happened."

So that’s how it is.

With so many warnings from the past, it’s no wonder Jiang Xiao’s query about Wang Qiang’s fate for looking at dirty books would raise suspicion.

"Bro Xiao, can you give me back the book?"

"Half for me?"

Although it was phrased like a request, by the time Jiang Xiao said these words, he had already torn the dirty book in half.

"You two, what are you whispering about all the time!"

A blackboard eraser had flown from the teacher’s desk, hitting Wang Qiang right on the head with precision, causing him to nearly cry from pain.

"Someone, I’ve been very tolerant with you, don’t be unconscious of it! Wang Qiang, you stand up and listen for this class!"

Master Extinction really wanted to target Jiang Xiao, but worried about this lunatic spouting nonsense, she reluctantly focused her attention on Wang Qiang, his close pal.

At this moment, numerous spies transmitted information obtained from Dragon Country’s livestream back to their home countries.

Many high-ranking officials immediately convened meetings.

"What’s the situation? The dirty book has appeared, right in Wang Qiang’s hands. Should we use our reminder chance?"

"Yes, we must definitely get our hands on that book."

"I don’t think there’s any rush, a single dirty book can’t really play a decisive role, right?"

"That’s correct, I also believe the dirty book is not especially important, and there’s no dangerous situation at present. A mere Seven Stars, we can wait and see."

"Agreed."

....

Wang Qiang was utterly despondent.

Not only did he have to stand and listen, but he also had to hold half the desk with his arms, which was incredibly taxing on his back.

Fortunately, the suffering didn’t last long, as the class-ending bell finally rang.

After Master Extinction had left, the students didn’t rush to go out to play or to the bathroom.

Instead, they queued in front of the water dispenser at the front of the classroom with black water bottles.

Hm?

He hadn’t noticed it before, but now Jiang Xiao saw that the water in the dispenser was actually black?

The students’ black water bottles were also peculiar, not the usual round shape but a strangely shaped rectangle.

And everyone’s water bottle was the same; they must be custom made.

Even Wang Qiang and the troublemakers who had just been punished at the back of the classroom went over with their water bottles to get water.

Hmm?

Jiang Xiao remembered one of the key points emphasized by the principal in the morning meeting.

"Make sure to get a glass of water with your own water bottle during the big break."

"Classmate, is it the big break now?"

"Yeah, didn’t you hear the exercise bell outside? But it’s raining today, so we don’t have to go out for the run this morning."

After drinking his water, Wang Qiang thoughtfully brought a cup over for Jiang Xiao as well.

"Bro Xiao, I see you didn’t bring anything to school today, just use my cup."

What a generous offer...

Jiang Xiao had not a bit of desire to drink water from a cup used by another boy, but he glanced inside it regardless.

"Um, the water isn’t black?"

Upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn’t that the water was black, but rather the mineral water jug was black.

"I’m not thirsty, thanks."

"You can’t not drink, if you get reported, you’ll be in trouble."

Reported again?

Jiang Xiao frowned and retorted.

"Report and it’ll be successful? I’ll just say I drank it. What evidence do they have to prove I didn’t drink? What, are they going to cut open my stomach to see how much water I drank?"

"Ah, that’s... not it, but..."

"Alright, enough about drinking, shall we go to the snack shop and buy some snacks to eat during class?"

Jiang Xiao had wanted to buy some individually packaged mineral water; who knew if the liquid in that black jug was even drinkable.

"Not going."

"I’ll treat you."

"Come on, baby, let’s go!"

Just as they were preparing to head to the snack shop, a burst of cheers erupted from around them.

Then, a girl standing elegantly appeared at the doorway.

Her?

This girl was the same one who had appeared at the back window during class.

Through the nearby boys’ salivating and fervent praises, Jiang Xiao knew that this girl was Qingshan’s school beauty.

Xiao Xue.

She stood at the doorway with a sweet smile, then gestured to Jiang Xiao with a hook of her hand before lowering her head and running off quickly.

"Go for it, Jiang Xiao!"

A girl in the front encouraged Jiang Xiao to boldly pursue love.

"Holy shit, Bro Xiao, you’re going to make it big!"

"Is that really a love letter from Xiao Xue? God, are your eyes on your ass? How am I worse than this Jiang guy?"

"Obviously, if God isn’t blind, he can definitely see you’re inferior to Jiang Xiao in every way."

Surprisingly, the disciplinary committee member, who seemed fierce, actually spoke up for Jiang Xiao.

Even Wang Qiang, who had originally planned to go to the snack shop with Jiang Xiao, urged him to boldly court her, adding.

"Bro Xiao, you go ahead. Remember to bring me back two bags of crispy noodles, two spicy strips, a bag of purple rice bread, and a bottle of sweet drink. You can’t forget about me now that you’re hooked up with a rich girl!"

"Yeah, Jiang Xiao bro, you can’t forget about us!"

"Master Extinction was just saying in class, ’When blessed with riches, do not forget each other.’"

Jiang Xiao: ???

"Insulting me? Calling me a dog?"

Everyone: "?"

The good news: Jiang Xiao liked to pay attention during class.

The bad news: It seemed knowledge filtered through his brain and drained away perfectly.

Amidst everyone’s shoving, Jiang Xiao was still pushed out of the classroom door.

As for that wealthy school beauty, she had been waiting at the stairwell all along.

"Did you, did you get my letter?"

"Hmm," Jiang Xiao nodded, then frowned and added, "You didn’t write your name. If you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known it was from you."

Hearing Jiang Xiao say this, Xiao Xue blushed and continuously tapped her foot on the ground.

"I, well, it’s also my first time, I haven’t had much experience, besides, who else would write you this kind of letter..."

What Xiao Xue implied was that no one else but her could possibly write such a love-soaked letter.

Hmm?

However, to certain ears, her words took on a different meaning.

Jiang Xiao’s brow quirked up, very displeased as he retorted.

"Full of crap, you nag, what are you implying? That besides you, no one else would look up to me, no one else would write me a love letter? Are you insulting me?"

Looking at the boy before her.

Xiao Xue slowly formed a question mark in her mind.
