After The Honest Person Was Discovered For Simultaneously Pursuing Three People - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: The Third Target

Song Yuceng had a grim face, his hands so stiff he didn’t know where to put them, but his heart was pounding. He was like a rusty machine, slowly lowering his head to look, but unfortunately, he could only see the boy’s soft hair whorl. Was this country bumpkin’s hair dark brown? Why did it smell so good? He said he didn’t spray perfume, but he must have. Why did it smell so good?

The part of his brain responsible for thinking was completely covered by the lemon scent. Song Yuceng’s breathing became heavy. He reached out his stiff hand, intending to put his arms around the person in his embrace, but as soon as his hand touched the boy’s waist, the person in his arms, as if to get revenge, squeezed his hands so hard that Song Yuceng almost bent over in pain.

But for the sake of his pride, Song Yuceng could only grit his teeth, his expression a little distorted. “You…”

The next second, the warmth in his arms instantly faded. Tao Ning raised his head slightly and very seriously said goodbye to him, then left without looking back.

Song Yuceng’s face was grim. “Get out.” But his tone was a little weak. In fact, the boy who left never looked back. The harsh words could only be heard by this second young master who was full of thorns.

He stood inside the car, watching the light brown hair whorl disappear from his sight, like an abandoned beast, with only that last bit of pathetic self-respect holding him up.

After the person was completely gone, the cold sweat on his forehead finally slid down. Song Yuceng frowned in pain, holding on to the car door. After a while, he took off his jacket and threw it onto the seat. His back was already soaked with blood—it was from the whip. Usually, Song Yuceng would call a doctor, but this time, he came to school as if nothing had happened after putting on a black suit.

Cold sweat streamed down Song Yuceng’s face. His lips were pale. He said weakly, “To the hospital…”

The car sped away. Besides the Song family, other private cars from prominent families were also allowed to enter. Tao Ning carried the new backpack A Yun had given him and dragged his suitcase to the ground floor of the dorm building. The dorm building had over ten floors. It was a traditional European-style building, like a small castle, but there were only a few of them. Each building had a security guard outside.

Occasionally, some students wearing the exclusive Oksen uniform walked past the dorm door in twos and threes. Tao Ning noticed that some people’s ties had different colors. Most people’s ties were black, and only a small number of people’s ties were white.

Why was that?

Tao Ning silently noted this difference. The dorm building was clean and tidy. Each building had four elevators. There were many people registering today. Tao Ning followed a group of students into the elevator. A Yun had given him the enrollment documents yesterday. His dorm was room 601 on the fifteenth floor.

Students were whispering in the elevator: “The school has recruited a few more transfer students this year. I wonder what the quality is like.”

“Just so-so. How many transfer students have stayed in the past? A wild chicken is a wild chicken. Do they really think they’ll become a phoenix just by getting in? Hilarious.”

“Are you indirectly saying Xu Jun is a wild chicken? He became the student council president from a transfer student. You should be careful with your words. It’s said that he’s more of a schemer than a dragon fruit has seeds…”

“Even someone that great got messed with.”

Someone smelled gossip and quickly asked, “What happened? Tell me.”

“You don’t know? Xu Jun used to live in a single dorm because he’s a germaphobe. Last semester, he didn’t give Qian Shichang face and took all the awards. Someone in Qian Shichang’s family is on the school board, so he revoked Xu Jun’s privilege. This semester, they sent him to our ordinary double room. I heard they even arranged for him to have a roommate from a mountain village, hahaha. I can’t imagine how a germaphobe like Xu Jun will react!”

Tao Ning listened quietly and felt that the name “Xu Jun” sounded a little familiar. The system reminded him in time: [Little dummy, Xu Jun is your third target.

Oh.

So he was the transfer student from the mountain village who would make Xu Jun lose his mind? So they were talking about me, Tao Ning thought silently.

System, do you have Xu Jun’s personal information?

Wait, let me look.

A rustling sound of flipping pages sounded in his mind. After a long time, the system exclaimed, [Little dummy, I found it!] It cleared its unchanging mechanical voice like a human:

Xu Jun, male, height 187.63 centimeters, has a stomach illness and is a germaphobe, no likes, no hobbies. He has hundreds of things he dislikes, respectively: dislikes stains in his sight, dislikes people who have an unusual body odor, dislikes people with messy hair, dislikes people with wrinkled clothes, dislikes school, dislikes the sun, dislikes rain, dislikes snow, dislikes…

So for the next five or six minutes, the system said a long list of things this target disliked. It could be said that this target disliked almost everything except flowers and grass.

The system finally asked: Okay, little dummy, this is Xu Jun’s personal information.

Tao Ning was silent. After a long time, he emerged from the pile of “dislikes” and asked an unrelated question: System, why didn’t you tell me about Zhao Jingqun and Song Yuceng’s information before?

The system ate a sunflower seed and said foolishly: You didn’t ask.

…Oh, then I want to know why there’s a talisman on Song Yuceng’s door? He couldn’t forget about it. After that day, A Yun didn’t seem to want to mention it.

Let me look.

The sound of flipping pages sounded in his mind again. Oh, little dummy, it’s not written in this person’s information. It only says what he likes and dislikes. Do you want to know?

No…

“Don’t put your trash here.”

Click, the elevator door opened. A cold, low voice sounded from outside the elevator, followed by an apologetic voice, “It’s a misunderstanding, President Xu. I just temporarily put the trash here because I had something to do. President Xu, you’re a big person. Please don’t deduct my points.”

The people in the elevator rushed out. Tao Ning was the last one to get out of the elevator. As soon as he dragged his suitcase out, he met a cold gaze.

The man was tall with long legs, wearing the school’s suit uniform with a black tie. He looked taller than the 187.63 centimeters the system said. His facial features were deep and three-dimensional, but he had a poker face. He wore a pair of light, gold-rimmed frameless glasses, which made him look even more ascetic and cold.

As a result, when the indifferent gaze swept over him, Tao Ning felt like he was drenched in cold rain. Then, he heard this third target, whom he had just met, ask, “What’s your name?”

“Tao, Tao Ning.”

The boy was a little nervous. Although he already had “experience” in targeting two people, he still felt nervous and helpless when facing a new target. It might also be because this target gave off a strong sense of oppression. This was also the first time he had met a target who took the initiative to ask for his name.

Before he could think about it, he saw the target take out a notebook. His well-defined knuckles flipped open a page, and without raising his head, he asked, “Which Tao, which Ning?”

“Tao from ‘pottery,’ and Ning from ‘lemon.'”

The man lowered his head and quickly wrote it down in the notebook without any hesitation. Then, he closed the notebook, looked up, and said expressionlessly, “Tao Ning, minus zero point five points from your individual score. The reason is that you didn’t wear your school uniform when you returned to school. Remember to wear it next time.”
