Survival in the Class: I'm the Only Boy on the Bus

Upon hearing the system's notification, the girls all looked up at Jiang Chen, their reddened eyes gleaming with an astonishing light.

Everyone's eyes were full of anticipation.

Bai Nuonuo, who had been holding a teddy bear with her head down, suddenly raised her head after hearing the system's notification. Her reddened eyes lit up instantly, and the tuft of hair on her head stood up.

The adorable little girl still had tear stains on her doll-like face, her eyes full of expectation, and she pleaded with Jiang Chen in a soft, tentative voice:

"Brother Jiang Chen...can you accept this mission? Shall we save them?"

"Nuonuo is willing to trade all her snacks for it!"

"I don't want any more of the snacks I find online... okay?"

Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, Bai Nuonuo hurriedly took her short legs and ran up to the second floor.

She knelt beside her bed, lowered her cute head, and forcefully pulled out her little treasure.

It was called a little treasury, but it was actually just a rather large cardboard box, which Tang Yan, the little koi, specially brought to her from the supermarket whose roof had collapsed.

I'm just worried she won't have anywhere to store her snacks.

This cardboard box contains all the precious snacks that Bai Nuonuo has collected since her transmigration.

In this little treasure trove, there are spicy strips, potato chips, drinks, and other items, all carefully arranged by her, looking very neat and tidy.

But there were no candies in this little treasure trove; Bai Nuonuo had given them all to her sister Maiduo.

As a top-tier little glutton, she's reluctant to finish all these snacks at once, only eating a little bit each day.

He kept muttering to himself while eating:

"Nuonuo will only eat a tiny bit..."

"You can't eat anything else after you eat this..."

But now, Bai Nuonuo is actually willing to take out all the snacks, just in exchange for Jiang Chen agreeing to accept this S-level mission.

Bai Nuonuo's eyes and nose were red. She struggled to lift the cardboard box with both hands and ran back downstairs on her short legs, standing in front of Jiang Chen.

She glanced reluctantly at her adorable little snacks, pursed her lips, and a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes. But biting her lower lip, she resolutely held the bulging cardboard box up to Jiang Chen's face.

"Nuonuo... I'd like to trade these snacks for... is that okay, Brother Jiang Chen?"

"Spicy strips, potato chips, bear-shaped cookies...you can have them all! Nuonuo...I don't want any more..."

Bai Nuonuo is the most caring and sentimental person in the team, and she can't bear to see others suffer from sadness.

That's why she was able to see Wu Maiduo's sadness at a glance in the City of Ceasefire instance and give her some candy.

Bai Nuonuo's parents have already sacrificed their lives, and she doesn't want Captain Zhang and Wanfeng's daughter to experience this kind of pain.

She understood very well that this kind of pain was very unbearable.

Despite Bai Nuonuo's cheerful demeanor, every night when she sleeps alone in bed, she takes out the photo of herself with her parents and carefully reads the will they left her.

At this time, Bai Nuonuo would hug Mr. Bear tightly, unable to bear to finish reading the two suicide notes.

Bai Nuonuo knew that her parents would not be coming back, so she couldn't bear to see other people's parents leave as well.

That's why she begged Brother Jiang Chen to accept this S-level hidden mission.

In order to get Jiang Chen to agree to her request, this box of snacks was the only thing she could offer.

If we're talking about who understands Bai Nuonuo's feelings best on the bus, it has to be Wu Maiduo.

Her parents also died in an earthquake when she was a child.

She also didn't want to see any more parents die while protecting students.

Wu Maiduo walked over and gently hugged Bai Nuonuo.

Her gaze towards Jiang Chen was filled with both sadness and expectation:

"Sports Committee... I also hope you can accept this task."

"My parents passed away the same way, and I really can't bear to see other children go through the same pain I did."

"Of course, whatever decision you make, I will support you unconditionally..."

The other girls watched Jiang Chen silently. Although their eyes were full of expectation, they still chose to believe in Jiang Chen's decision and waited for him to speak.

Lu Wanzhou, who knew Jiang Chen best, wasn't worried at all that Xiao Chen would refuse.

She had already sat down in the passenger seat and was ready to depart.

Because she knew very well that although Xiao Chen was a bit lecherous and liked to tease her, his values ​​were very sound!

This is one of the reasons why Lu Wanzhou likes Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's gaze slowly swept over the expectant look in the girls' eyes.

Only then did he look at the little treasure chest that Bai Nuonuo was holding up.

After seeing that many snacks were gone from his little stash, he shook his head helplessly.

This is just a big box of snacks?

not enough!

Not nearly enough!

It seems I need to find more snacks for Nuonuo.

Feed them! We must feed them like crazy!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen gently pushed the little treasury back to Bai Nuonuo, and then reached out to pat Bai Nuonuo's little head.

Bai Nuonuo, with tears welling up in her eyes, raised her chin and looked up at her brother Jiang Chen.

Her most iconic ahoge (cowlick) drooped, and the light in her eyes seemed to go out.

But she immediately lowered her head, wiped her eyes, and choked out:

"No...it's okay, Brother Jiang Chen. Nuonuo is very sensible. There are some things that Brother Jiang Chen needs to consider the bigger picture and not act impulsively..."

"It's okay, Brother Jiang Chen, Nuonuo will always support you."

Bai Nuonuo knew that every task carried risks.

She also knew that Brother Jiang Chen had to consider everyone's feelings and couldn't let his sisters take risks based on his own wishful thinking.

Jiang Chen squatted down and gently lifted up the white, fluffy ahoge, like lifting up a wilted little blade of grass.

Seeing that Bai Nuonuo's ahoge (cowlick-like hair) still drooped down after being straightened, Jiang Chen smiled helplessly:

"Nuonuo, did I say I wouldn't accept this mission? It's a mission that can get you an S-rank treasure chest, and you can also get a title. Do you think I would refuse?"

"Besides, even without these rewards, I would still accept this mission. It's a way to offer some solace to my compatriots who perished in that disaster..."

"If they could see from heaven that we haven't forgotten them and that we did our best to prevent the teachers and students of Chuanbei Middle School from perishing in the earthquake, they would surely be happy, wouldn't they?"

Jiang Chen gently pinched the soft, white cheek; it was so soft and round, like a mochi, and felt wonderful to the touch.

"Furthermore, when Nuonuo's parents and Maiduo's parents see this, they will be very proud of their daughter!"

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Bai Nuonuo stared blankly at him.

She nodded emphatically:

"Yes, it will!"

"Mom and Dad will definitely be proud of Nuonuo!"

"My sister Maiduo's parents will definitely be very proud of her!"

After hearing Bai Nuonuo's answer, Jiang Chen smiled gently and clicked to accept the task.

The next moment, a red portal appeared in front of the bus.

Bai Nuonuo's tuft of hair stood up again, and she pushed the little treasure chest in her arms toward Jiang Chen:

"Brother Jiang Chen... please accept my snacks..."

Jiang Chen patted Bai Nuonuo's head and shook his head with a smile:

"Nuonuo, how could I dare take your snacks? If I actually did, wouldn't your sisters surround me and stomp on my bare feet?!"

"Besides, didn't you see that your sister Wanzhou is already sitting in the passenger seat? She already guessed that I would accept the mission."

Bai Nuonuo nodded as if she understood, then happily ran upstairs to hide her lost little treasure chest.

Actually, all the girls know where Bai Nuonuo hides her secret stash.

However, they always pretended not to be able to find it, and even smiled at Bai Nuonuo, saying:

"Nuonuo hid her little treasure trove so well, none of her older sisters noticed."

But Bai Nuonuo's cardboard box was so big that a corner was sticking out from under the bed. Even a blind person could see it. It's just that the girls doted on Bai Nuonuo, so they didn't expose her.

After Jiang Chen made his joke, the oppressive atmosphere on the bus noticeably improved.

Jiang Chen walked to the driver's seat and got in.

Without Jiang Chen saying anything, the girls had already taken their seats on their own.

Jiang Chen then personally drove the bus into the red portal.
