All the goddesses in the world are lusting after my body.

If you were to stay next to Jiang Tang, you would see the girl who was holding his arm.

If only it were myself...

"Haha, thank you for comforting me."

Jiang Tang laughed heartily.

"I'm not trying to comfort you, I'm just telling the truth."

"Moreover, Jiang Tang is a famous academic genius. A girl like me with average grades would definitely benefit a lot from being around Jiang Tang."

Li Baiwei had already begun to imagine that bright future.

If she could really sit with Jiang Tang, she would even wish to attend classes for sixteen hours a day, leaving only eight hours for eating and sleeping.

However, if that happens, Jiang Tang will probably be tortured to death.

He has always adhered to the "three eight-hour theory".

Eight hours of work and study, eight hours of rest, and the remaining eight hours are for ourselves!

Unfortunately, society seems a bit too obsessed right now; how many companies can truly deliver on the promise of three eight-hour workdays?

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. My grades are just average."

That's right, "ordinary" refers to becoming the top scorer in the province and then enrolling as a representative of the new students.

"However, if you have any difficulties with your studies, you can certainly ask me for help."

Jiang Tang then added.

"As for now, I should go back to the playground. The student council has a lot of things to do."

"Then I'll go back with Jiang Tang too."

"I won't bother Jiang Tang anymore. I'll go watch the game with my friends."

"Jiang Tang, are you really going to... run the 3,000 meters?"

"Well, no one in our class signed up for this project, so I'll have to do it for them."

"How could this happen!"

Li Baiwei followed Jiang Tang's footsteps, walking towards the direction of the playground while speaking up for him.

Jiang Tang was somewhat surprised and tilted his head.

"Actually, it's nothing, and the competition is the day after tomorrow, the last day of the sports meet."

"I have plenty of time to practice."

"Don't worry about the rankings. Trying too hard and being too competitive in this kind of thing can damage your health."

Li Baiwei's unusual concern for Jiang Tang made Jiang Tang feel somewhat at a loss.

After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded.

"I will."

The two went to the playground together, and then parted ways.

It was at this moment that a silver-gray short-haired girl wearing a baseball cap quietly appeared behind Jiang Tang.

A gust of cold wind suddenly swept by, and Jiang Tang gasped.

Then I felt something hard pressing against my back.

Along with this came a cool and aloof tone, typical of a young girl.

"Why did you come out of the cafeteria with that woman...?"

"That's a place only you and I can go."

"boom!"

The girl made the sound of a gun being fired.

To be honest, Jiang Tang did feel a chill run down his spine for a moment.

But the intense pain you imagine is impossible to experience, no matter how hard you try.

Because Ren Qianning would only make small jokes with Jiang Tang at most, how could she bear to hurt Jiang Tang?

Although Ren Qianning was almost furious the moment she saw him and Li Baiwei walking out of the cafeteria from the shadows, she was nowhere near the usual calm and collected girl she was supposed to be.

She walked around Jiang Tang from behind to walk alongside him, and then stood in front of him.

He tossed a chocolate bar to Jiang Tang, who was staring in disbelief.

So this is what was pressed against Jiang Tang's back just now!

Does anyone know why this girl suddenly bought Jiang Tang chocolate bars?

Jiang Tang himself didn't know either, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qian Ning...you're terrifying!"

"You actually believed it?"

Ren Qianning bit into the other chocolate bar she had just opened, crunching a piece as she said softly.

"Well, not really..." After regaining his composure, Jiang Tang naturally unwrapped the chocolate bar and started crunching it with Ren Qianning.

From this perspective, they really do look like a couple.

The two walked in silence for a while before Ren Qianning spoke again.

"From now on... you are not allowed to go to the cafeteria with anyone other than me."

"Oh, this."

And looking at Ren Qianning's rosy cheeks under the sun as she said these words.

Jiang Tang swallowed the witty remarks he had prepared.

The girl looked so resolute, like a little hamster with its mouth full of fruit, guarding the "little happiness" it cherished.

How could Jiang Tang bear to disappoint such a hamster-like girl?

"...Okay, I'll try my best."

Ren Qianning understood this perfectly well.

Jiang Tang's words were simply, "Try your best."

That was the biggest promise he could make.

298 What she realized

"It's rare to see you during the day," Jiang Tang said with a touch of emotion.

"What... am I so disappointing to you?"

Ren Qianning's tone was somewhat sarcastic, perhaps because she still harbored some resentment.

That's just how straight women are, not to mention Ren Qianning, who grew up in a military camp, cared for and trained by a group of rough men.

They don't understand how to get along with someone they truly like, or how to deepen their feelings for them.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tang suddenly turned his head and bent down slightly, reaching out to gently lift Ren Qianning's baseball cap, revealing the girl's beautiful face, which seemed to catch him off guard.

"How could that be? Isn't it beautiful?"

Jiang Tang easily expressed his feelings.

"You are beautiful whether in the moonlight or the sunlight."

Ren Qianning: "..."

To hide her blushing, the girl snatched her hat back, pulled the brim down to cover almost her entire face, leaving only a small gap so she could see the road ahead and avoid falling.

What does "targeting straight women" mean?

Jiang Tang's approach can be described as a special attack on straight women.

Although he was just stating his true thoughts.

Even without makeup, Ren Qianning has a delicate and beautiful face, making one reluctant to see it covered in sand or snow.

"...After you've eaten the chocolate bar, you have to come with me to the sports meet."

"So this is where you were waiting for me? Well... haha, fine."

Jiang Tang laughed. What he wanted to say was that even without any reason, he would still accompany Ren Qianning.

It's like you're secretly protecting and accompanying yourself.

………………

It's clear that Ren Qianning has a subtle aversion to walking among crowds and being the center of attention.

At times like these, she always seemed very insecure.

Under the shadow of her baseball cap, her pretty face looked somewhat pale.

Jiang Tang walked a little faster, which made her even more nervous.

"Wait……"

She wanted to say "Wait for me," but those words sounded somewhat weak.

Ren Qianning had grown accustomed to being Jiang Tang's reliable, elusive agent.

She clearly didn't want to be seen as a coward who would get nervous when there were many people around her.

Ren Qianning is certainly not a coward.

But there are times when she isn't so brave.

At times like these, she always hopes to have someone by her side.

If it's him... that would be perfect.

Ren Qianning knew that Jiang Tang hadn't heard her voice.

Her gaze dimmed for a moment, and she lowered her head.
