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

Chapter 16: Jiang Chen and Lu Wanzhou started talking?

Jiang Chen frowned after reading the information about the instance.

This instance could result in a 20%-30% mortality rate for your team.

Now that his team has 41 people, does that mean 8 to 13 people will die?

Jiang Chen gasped.

He stood up, glanced around the carriage, and clapped his hands:

"I have something to announce..."

The girls had mostly finished their food and were all looking up at him.

Jiang Chen read out all the information about the copy in detail.

The girls' faces were filled with terror:

"Is the first dungeon really that difficult?"

"A 20%-30% mortality rate?! Doesn't that mean many women will die?"

"What are mutated zombies? It sounds disgusting..."

An atmosphere of panic spread instantly.

Jiang Chen raised his hand and pressed it down:

"Quiet."

The girls obediently stopped making a sound.

The carriage became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

He turned to look at Lu Wanzhou.

After Lu Wanzhou slowly brought the bus to a stop, she stood up and quickly walked to Xiao Chen's side.

Although I guessed that Xiao Chen was going to talk to the girls about their conversation...

However, the 7 o'clock instance has a 20%-30% mortality rate, and her almond-shaped eyes under her short pink hair are also full of worry.

Even though she was panicking inside, she would stand by Jiang Chen's side and be his strongest support.

Jiang Chen reached out and naturally took Lu Wanzhou's hand.

Lu Wanzhou's fingertips trembled, and her cheeks flushed red.

Not only did she not let go, she also gripped Xiao Chen's hand tightly in return.

Jiang Chen, meeting the girls' gazes, began to announce:

"I need to use my talents to improve my and Wanzhou's strength for the upcoming dungeon."

The girls were instantly abuzz when they saw that Lu Wanzhou didn't argue, but instead took Jiang Chen's hand.

"Holy crap? Does this mean Wan Zhou is admitting it?"

"Oh no, oh no, the Empress is going to take over!"

"Go, sports committee member! Max out your class monitor attributes and lead us to new heights!"

Lu Wanzhou blushed deeply, her ears turning bright red as if they were about to bleed, but she still didn't let go of Jiang Chen's hand.

She even raised her chin and gave the noisy girls a haughty glare.

Say whatever you want.

Anyway, I'm definitely going to eat Xiao Chen!

Even if Jesus came, it wouldn't make a difference!

Wen Ruyan leaned back in her seat, watching the two holding hands, and subconsciously bit her lip.

A hint of envy flashed in her charming eyes. She shifted the position of her crossed legs, and her red-soled high heels swayed in mid-air.

Lan Xingyao put her arm around her younger sister's shoulder and started making faces at her:

"Wow, they're going to announce it in front of the whole class!"

"Oh no, sis! You'll only be able to be the one I secretly admire!..."

Lan Xingwan punched her older sister in annoyance before looking at Lu Wanzhou with envy, her heart pounding.

Jiang Chen ignored the commotion of the girls and turned to look at Ruan Ningshuang:

"Class representative, come here for a second."

Ruan Ningshuang stood up in response, the hem of her cheongsam swaying gently with her movements.

She followed Jiang Chen to the driver's seat, her face still cold.

Only when she looked at Jiang Chen's back did a hint of tenderness appear in her eyes.

Jiang Chen pointed to the steering wheel:

"I'll teach you how to drive, and you'll be taking over later."

"At 6:55, you need to activate your domain on time and boost Wanzhou's attack power."

Ruan Ningshuang nodded slightly, said nothing, and sat directly in the driver's seat.

Jiang Chen stood beside her and quickly explained the basic operation of the accelerator, brake, and steering wheel.

Ruan Ningshuang is a top student; she learns everything very quickly.

She can basically remember what Jiang Chen says after just one explanation.

After confirming that Ruan Ningshuang could drive independently, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

"Remember, open the domain at 6:55 sharp."

Ruan Ningshuang looked up at him and uttered only one word:

"it is good."

However, a faint blush appeared on her fair face.

She naturally knew why the Sports Commission wanted her to open a new field at this time.

The main purpose is to be able to replicate more attack power after communicating with Wan Zhou.

The girls immediately realized what was happening and started making a fuss again:

"Wow, the class representative is part of your scheme too?"

"It'll take quite a while, Sports Committee member, are you sure you can handle it? Hehehe~!"

Jiang Chen coughed twice and turned to look at Lu Wanzhou.

Lu Wanzhou was looking down, clutching the hem of her clothes, her face already flushed red.

She glanced at Jiang Chen furtively, then quickly looked away.

Like a shy yet eager little kitten.

Jiang Chen walked over and took her hand again:

"Let's go upstairs."

Lu Wanzhou kept her head down and didn't say anything, obediently following him upstairs.

The girls watched the two figures disappear upstairs, and another round of low chuckles erupted.

"Holy crap! Is it starting already?!"

"Keep fighting, Meng Wanzhou!"

"Sports Committee member, don't let the game be lost by halftime!"

Lan Xingyao put her arm around her sister's shoulder and clicked her tongue twice:

"See? That's the benefit of being proactive."

"Little sister, you should learn from this."

Lan Xingwan covered her face, unable to utter a single word.

Bai Nuonuo hugged the teddy bear, tilted her head back to look towards the second floor, her ahoge (cowlick) bobbing slightly, and muttered softly:

"Brother Jiang Chen and Sister Wanzhou, where are you going?"

Tang Yan quickly covered Bai Nuonuo's ears:

"Nuonuo! Don't ask so many questions!"

Bai Nuonuo blinked her big, watery eyes, looking blankly at the stairs leading to the second floor, her ahoge (cowlick) still swaying back and forth on her head.

Wen Ruyan sat in her seat, arms crossed, her gaze towards the stairwell somewhat complicated.

...

The second floor is all bunk beds.

The passageway was very narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

Jiang Chen and Lu Wanzhou walked to the innermost lower bunk.

Jiang Chen sat down.

Lu Wanzhou sat down next to him.

The two sat shoulder to shoulder, the carriage swaying slightly.

Jiang Chen turned to look at Lu Wanzhou, his tone earnest yet gentle:

"Wanzhou, I will definitely keep my promise to you."

"If you're not willing, we can think of other ways."

Lu Wanzhou glared at him, her cheeks flushed, both angry and amused.

At this point, why are you still asking if I'm willing?

Xiao Chen is such a blockhead!

Her cheeks were flushed, and her tone was both fierce and soft:

"Stop talking nonsense! There's only half an hour left, hurry up!"

Lu Wanzhou spoke as she demonstrated.

Jiang Chen feigned surprise and said:

"Wow! So rushed?"

"Didn't we agree that we'd be brothers?"

"Are you that lusting after my body?"

Lu Wanzhou was incredibly stubborn:

"I...I did this for everyone!"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Wanzhou's expression turned serious:

"Xiao Chen, I... I still want to be your fastest knife!"

After saying that, she snuggled into Jiang Chen's arms, looked up at him, and even waved her little fist threateningly:

"If you dare tell my parents, I'll..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Chen stopped him.

[Lu Wanzhou's remaining sanity is 90%: Tsk! That's all?]

[Lu Wanzhou has 70% sanity remaining: Still being stubborn!]

[Lu Wanzhou's remaining sanity is 50%: Huh? What's going on?]

...

The first-floor carriage was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The girls all perked up their ears.

The bus was driving on the highway, its body swaying slightly.

Lan Xingwan stood up and went to the bathroom.

The older sister, Lan Xingyao, went to the last row and sat down.

Bai Nuonuo sat in her seat, her delicate little feet barely reaching the ground, swaying back and forth, while the tuft of hair on her head swayed happily.

Tang Yan covered Bai Nuonuo's ears even harder.

Bai Nuonuo blinked her eyes and whispered:

"Sister Tang Yan, your palms are so warm..."

"Nuonuo loves it so much~!"

As Bai Nuonuo spoke, she rubbed her hand against Tang Yan's palm.

Tang Yan giggled from the itching.

Wen Ruyan sat in her seat, arms crossed, biting her lip, changing the position of her legs several times.

The other girls weren't much better off.

Someone was looking down and playing with their fingers.

Someone pretended to look out the window.

Some people simply pretended to be asleep.

But no one spoke.
