Chapter 188: 188 Too cool (Fourth Update)

He clearly had the chance to strike it rich overnight, yet he missed it entirely due to his own ignorance.

Distressed, filled with regret.

Wen Junxi, feeling unwilling to accept this, glanced at that slender figure and seemed to brighten as a thought struck him; he immediately quickened his pace to follow.

"Chu Jin, wait a moment."

"Huh, does that silly boy know her?" Wang Kai narrowed his eyes as he watched Wen Junxi chase after her, "Let’s go have a look."

He had expected someone so cold, so untouched by worldly concerns, yet she seemed rather ordinary.

This four-eyed creature was a hundred grades below him, Wang Kai secretly thought.

Upon hearing him, Chu Jin paused and turned back to look, asking indifferently when she saw it was Wen Junxi, "What is it?"

Her clear, peach-blossom eyes, reflecting the morning sunlight, seemed to sparkle, leaving Wang Kai somewhat dazed.

He suddenly realized that the eyes of this cold beauty were truly soul-capturing.

More stunning than any other girl’s eyes he had ever seen.

Wen Junxi was also momentarily stunned, but having already been tricked by Chu Jin once, he didn’t dare speak rashly now, trying to sound as neutral as possible, "I heard you were forced into the school’s English speech competition."

In fact, it wasn’t just something he had heard; he and Liu Yike had orchestrated it themselves.

Their goal was to drive Chu Jin out of South Bridge No.2 Middle School.

Chu Jin glanced sidelong at Wen Junxi and coldly said, "So, what if I was?"

If not for the sake of courtesy, she wouldn’t want to give the likes of Wen Junxi another glance.

After all, they were students of the same school, bound to see each other frequently; some things, if done too absolutely, were no good.

Wen Junxi cautiously looked up at Chu Jin, remembering how she had written love letters for three whole months in pursuit of him.

A person who had been so infatuated with him to that extent surely hadn’t forgotten him so quickly.

It’s just that he hadn’t known how to appreciate it back then, mistaking the counterfeit for the real pearl.

Now, he truly regretted it.

Wen Junxi swallowed and continued, "Chu Jin, I just wanted to ask, do you still have feelings for me? If you do, tell me, and I can help you with this English speech competition. Then you won’t need to worry about being expelled."

Wen Junxi’s words carried a somewhat threatening intent.

He knew Chu Jin’s academic performance well and was convinced that she would undoubtedly finish last in the English speech competition.

To expect someone who can’t even distinguish the 26 letters of the English alphabet to participate in a speech competition was utterly laughable, wasn’t it?

Having put it like this, Chu Jin would certainly choose to be with him.

Thinking thus, Wen Junxi felt a sense of superiority surge within him—she, whom not even Wang Kai could win over, was about to become his girlfriend.

Wang Kai, who boasted of being the most attractive guy in school, thought he was so great, didn’t he?

Lost in his smug thoughts, Wen Junxi cleared his throat before Chu Jin could reply, and added, "However, I should clarify one thing first. I need to discuss this with Ke’er, to have her withdraw your name from the competition. You, for your part, will apologize to Ke’er for the previous incident, and that will be the end of it. Also, I will request from Ke’er that you become my second girlfriend. In terms of seniority, you will not only listen to me but also to Ke’er. You must address Ke’er as ’sister,’ and if she’s in a bad mood and hits or scolds you, you must not fight back. After all, you are the junior, understand?"

Chu Jin had not expected Wen Junxi to say such a thing.

It seemed he had already forgotten the lesson from last time.

He still thought she was the same naive Chu Jin from before?

Still play the junior?

She truly couldn’t fathom how such shameless people could exist in this day and age.

They were simply a waste of air while alive, a waste of land when dead.

Not far from the two, Wang Kai also clicked his tongue in disbelief, even starting to rethink his pursuit of this cold beauty.

What kind of taste does this cold beauty have to actually fall for a four-eyed nerd like him? And to top it off, she’s throwing herself at him to be his... mistress?

Chu Jin looked at Wen Junxi, the corners of her mouth lifted in a slight arc, her red lips parting lightly, "Snap out of it! The Qing Dynasty is long gone! The era of isolation ended too, and now it’s no longer a male-dominated society. A mistress? Hah, Wen Junxi, did you forget to look in the mirror before you left this morning? Someone like you—I feel disgusted even with an extra glance. Where do you get the confidence to say such things?"

Wang Kai, who had been disinterested until now, stroked his chin, a few strands of curiosity flashing in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Interesting."

"You, you you," Wen Junxi blanched slightly upon hearing this, his body unsteady and weakly said, "You’re being insincere! Just think about it, if Yike hadn’t withdrawn your competition slot, you would definitely be the last place! If you had come last, you would be expelled! And I know, you still like me, you’re just bothered by Yike’s presence. But think about it, which man isn’t surrounded by women these days? As a woman, you can’t be so petty!"

Chu Jin was indeed a difficult choice for him to make between her and Liu Yike. Chu Jin was beautiful and had a presence that turned heads wherever she went, which made him look good.

But Liu Yike was the daughter of the principal, capable of bringing him a lot of tangible help, so he wanted both of them.

Chu Jin frowned slightly, her voice cold, "Wen Junxi, remember to take your medicine if you’re sick! Don’t embarrass yourself here!"

He must think he’s as desirable as money, that everyone likes him!

Such narcissism.

Chu Jin couldn’t bother arguing with him any longer and turned to leave. After all, stupidity is contagious.

Wen Junxi followed her closely, not willing to pass up such an excellent opportunity.

With Chu Jin’s grades, there was no chance of her making a comeback, so she would eventually have to compromise with him. Hence, he needed to stay on her heels.

In order to keep other boys from getting any ideas about her.

"Stop following me!" Chu Jin stopped in her tracks, her brows cold, warning him.

Wen Junxi, with blind confidence, insisted, "No, I know you still have feelings for me, you’re just afraid to face your own heart properly. And you will definitely lose the English speech competition, only I can help you. The competition is in three days. Are you sure you won’t regret it? By then, not even knowing the 26 letters, you’ll become the laughingstock of the whole school!"

Only he could help Chu Jin out of this predicament.

So she would have to compromise with him.

Chu Jin’s lips curled into a smile, her voice steady, "I’m warning you for the last time, stop following me or else, I might resort to violence!"

That smile held three parts chill, three parts disdain, and four parts brazenness.

It was enough for one to feel numb, unable to penetrate the mist to discern her true feelings, unsettling and enigmatic.

As she spoke, Chu Jin clenched her fists, her knuckles cracking loudly.

Even from a distance, the sound was clear and distinct.

Wen Junxi swallowed hard but did not intend to stop.

Wang Kai also smiled faintly and whispered to Xiang Dong and Li Er Fat, "This cold beauty does have some tricks up her sleeve."

Xiang Dong shook his head, analyzing calmly, "I think she’s actually quite capable, and not just putting on some act."

Wang Kai said disdainfully, "She’s just a woman, do you really think she’s capable of anything?"

"Right, Kai, I support you, she’s probably just scaring that four-eyed nerd a bit,"

Li Er Fat’s words had barely ended.

A ’bang’ sounded in the air.

Then there was a muffled groan, as if containing pain.

The three of them instinctively looked towards the source of the noise and saw that the four-eyed nerd who had been following the cold beauty was now lying flat on the ground, beaten down.

His features were twisted, his face full of restrained pain.

Chu Jin, hands in her pockets, looked down at Wen Junxi sprawled on the ground and coldly spat out six words, "I warned you."

The girl was bathed in sunlight, standing against the light. It was difficult to see her jade-like face clearly, but her powerful aura was undeniable.

After dealing with Wen Junxi, Chu Jin turned and walked towards Class 10.

Li Er Fat was shocked by the scene before him, his eyes shining as he blurted out three words, "So cool!"
