Chapter 1405: Chapter 1424: Lin Jiang

When she came in from outside and the switch was flipped again, the classroom fell into an eerie silence.

Duan Yuang’s gaze fell on Nan Fei with a complexity before he eventually mustered the courage to walk up to her. Just as he was about to call her out for a talk, Xing Yu appeared at the doorway of the classroom.

Being an already notable figure at school, coupled with the military rank he held since his special recruitment, Xing Yu was the center of attention wherever he went. As soon as he appeared at the classroom door, the whole class turned to look.

Nan Fei certainly saw him, and she noticed Duan Yuang standing in front of her as well; however, this time, without the genuine heart of a friend, she got up and walked straight towards Xing Yu without a sideways glance.

Duan Yuang watched Nan Fei’s retreating back with a bitter smile. A classmate he got along well with walked over, draping an arm over his shoulder, "Still hesitating? What’s there to hesitate about?"

The classmate, Lin Jiang, had a pair of attractive sword-like eyebrows, "Aren’t you and Jiang Nanfei friends? What’s there to hesitate about? As friends, you can speak frankly, tell her the difficulties you’re facing. I think she will surely agree."

Wen Qi’s family and Duan Yuang’s family were old family friends, and although Wen Qi had been released from the detention center, the lawsuit against her was still ongoing. As a student, especially one from a military academy and from such a household, it would be greatly detrimental if the lawsuit wasn’t swiftly resolved.

The Wen family was frantic, which led to considerable dissatisfaction with Duan Yuang, resulting in pressure from both families’ parents on him.

"You don’t understand!" Duan Yuang forced a laughed through tears, "You’ve seen how Jiang Nanfei operates; her actual behavior is far from straightforward and easy-going."

Lin Jiang raised an eyebrow, tightened his arm around Duan Yuang’s shoulder, and his mind began forming its own agenda.

Indeed, just now, the majority of the classmates’ attitude towards Jiang Nanfei left him quite unhappy. He wanted to speak up for her, but they were not close acquaintances. Jiang Nanfei was mostly solitary at school, having dealings only with Duan Yuang; she hardly spoke to anyone else.

Even though he wanted to speak for Jiang Nanfei, he had neither the opportunity nor the standing. But Duan Yuang was different; he totally could, yet had remained silent. This made Lin Jiang quite disappointed with the class president.

So, he couldn’t help but seek out a chance to speak. Duan Yuang had no idea how much the other boys in the class envied him for being able to befriend Jiang Nanfei, as everyone else didn’t even have the courage to initiate a conversation with her.

What boy wouldn’t like or admire a young maiden like Jiang Nanfei, who was exceptional, had high military qualities, excellent marksmanship, adept physical skills, and even better academic achievements?

This liking and admiration were entirely well-intentioned, without any trace of vulgar or unseemly thoughts. Anyone with a bit of smarts could see that Jiang Nanfei’s future was boundless, and her background was profound.

For such a person, to become friends during their studies and earn her friendship should be considered their fortune. Didn’t all the friends Major General Huo got along with back in school days turn into high-ranking military officers?

"What don’t I understand? I think Jiang Nanfei is not wrong at all; she’s acting entirely within the law. Are you suggesting our country’s laws are mistaken?"

Duan Yuang was at a loss for words, and took a long time to reply, "It’s my fault, I shouldn’t waver and hesitate. Thank you, Lin Jiang; without you, I’d still be hesitating!"
