Chapter 728: Chapter 726 Thank You to Him_1

Muxia’s action of biting into her bread abruptly froze.

Right.

How did he manage to buy all these snacks?

Could it be...

Muxia and her deskmate exchanged a glance and then blurted out in unison, "Climbing over the wall!"

He must have left that way!

Otherwise, during the lunch break, with no teachers around, he couldn’t have gotten a leave slip!

After speaking, the two of them quickly covered their mouths, warily surveying the people around them.

Luckily, it was lunchtime, when the playful ones had gone to the playground and the studious ones to the library, so the classroom was empty except for the two of them.

Relieved, Muxia and her deskmate let their hands drop.

You see, the school rules at First Middle School were strict. If someone found out he had climbed over the wall to leave, he would certainly be punished—lighter offenses involved a notice of criticism, while more severe ones were recorded in the files.

It would be too costly a loss by then.

"Is he stupid or what? To buy me some snacks, he actually risked nearly getting a major demerit!" Muxia’s enjoyment of the food soured with each bite, as though she were chewing on wax.

Her clear, sparkling eyes couldn’t help but well up with a layer of mist.

A secret and intense impulse once again surged to the tip of her heart, leaving an indelible mark within it.

"I think he might like you," her deskmate mused, stroking her chin as if deep in thought.

Otherwise, why would a boy foolishly do such a dangerous thing?

Muxia was startled, that strange feeling inside her turning to astonishment, "Don’t talk nonsense, Jiang Qingchen is my half-brother by a different mother. How could he possibly like me!"

Her deskmate glanced at her and fell silent.

Affection was the most complicated matter and could only be felt, not explained; thus, Muxia had to understand it herself.

Muxia was a carefree girl and didn’t take these words to heart.

After all, her deskmate wasn’t aware of the pure friendship between her and Jiang Qingchen and had mistakenly thought he liked her, which was normal.

Because, who isn’t the most curious about such things during adolescence?

After eating, Muxia ran off to the high school section.

Regarding the snacks, she needed to properly thank him.

And she had to warn him never to do such a thing again. It was too dangerous. If he really got a demerit, she would feel guilt-ridden for life.

"Little junior sister, who are you looking for?" In Class One of Grade Eleven, a boy saw Muxia peering into their class and whistled at her with a teasing smile.

Muxia was quite shy, and speaking to strangers made her uncomfortable. Now, she buried her face slightly and said in a low voice, "I’m looking for Jiang Qingchen."

"Tsk, another girl looking for our class president. I can go call him for you, but whether he comes out or not is none of my business," the boy said casually, clicking his tongue before turning to enter the classroom.

Upon hearing this, Muxia felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

What did he mean by another girl looking for Jiang Qingchen?

Were there many girls seeking him out on a regular basis?

Well, that made sense. Chen was a school heartthrob, tied for first place with her brother. It was normal for girls to like him, wasn’t it?

Muxia couldn’t help but pout.

Inside the classroom.

Jiang Qingchen had actually noticed Muxia’s figure some time ago but deliberately ignored her, leaving her hanging there.

Without even saying it, he knew she had come to the class for Xu Zeming, that guy.

Such an ingrate.

After he had bought her so many snacks, she didn’t even come to thank him; she only knew how to look for other guys!

The more Jiang Qingchen thought about it, the more upset he became, and the textbook in front of him began to seem obscure and impenetrable, not a single word sinking in.

However, a classmate approached him, tapped on his desk: "Class president, there’s another girl looking for you outside, and this one’s pure innocence, the very ’first-love face’ kind often mentioned on the internet!"

"Hey, don’t you want to go out and meet her?" The boy raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with deep meaning and innuendo.

Boys of this age, caught between adolescence and adulthood, are all curious about matters like this.

Jiang Qingchen’s book fell onto the desk as he lifted his face, and with a tone of slight astonishment, he asked, "Are you saying she’s looking for me?"

"Yeah!" The boy nodded, repeating: "She specifically asked for you, Jiang Qingchen."

Without waiting for the boy to finish, Jiang Qingchen quickly pulled back his chair, which tipped over onto the floor due to his force and excitement; but as if he hadn’t noticed, he dashed out of the classroom.

Muxia was actually looking for him!

For him!

Him!

The boy’s eyes instantly widened.

Holy shit!

The thousand-year-old glacier has finally melted?

Although many girls had sought him out before, all had been ignored without exception, but this time, he seemed to be in such a hurry!

Could it be raining red from the sky?

Jiang Qingchen, moving as fast as he could, came to Muxia, looking down at her: "Do you need something from me?"

Despite the intense turmoil inside, his face remained calm.

As if he didn’t care at all that she came to him.

Muxia’s eyes twinkled as she looked around at the nosy classmates, then spoke to him in a low voice: "Let’s find a quiet place to talk."

Really, these people are just too curious.

"Anywhere is fine," Jiang Qingchen nodded, then suggested, "How about the sports field?"

"Just as long as there are fewer people," Muxia agreed quickly, her little face flushed as she hurried away from the crowd.

Jiang Qingchen followed closely behind.

The young girl and boy walked one after the other, the girl’s face flush with color, and the boy with a faint smile on his face.

This scene instantly set off the teenage boys and girls, who started jeering with suggestive whistles.

"Hey, I bet this little couple is off to have a whispery heart-to-heart."

"Isn’t that obvious!"

The boys started whistling loudly, as excited as if Muxia had been looking for them instead.

Muxia, who hadn’t walked far, heard their comments and her face instantly burned as if someone had sprinkled chili powder on it.

Why do these people have to talk nonsense, she and Jiang Qingchen are not in that kind of relationship at all!

So annoying!

She wanted to explain, wanted to shout back at them, but her shyness and timid nature just wouldn’t allow her, forcing her to quicken her pace instead.

The girl’s frustrated reaction did not escape Jiang Qingchen’s sight, and he couldn’t help feeling a bit sorrowful.

But that feeling was fleeting as he comforted her: "They just love to tease, don’t take it to heart."

"Mmh..." Muxia nodded, picking up her pace even more, almost wanting to run.

After they had completely left, the girls who had been watching earlier couldn’t help grinding their teeth, faces filled with irritation—

"I really didn’t expect Jiang Qingchen to like such a pure girl!"

It started with a whisper and soon became an uncontrollable buzz.

"It’s just infuriating, what’s so good about this girl aside from her fair skin? Her plain looks and skinny figure, I really don’t get what Jiang Qingchen sees in her?"

"Exactly, if it were the school beauty, fine, but why with such a girl!"
