Chapter 70: A Wife Goes Out to Meet Other Men…
Liu Yuliang is speechless. The last exam room is indeed a gathering place for underachievers. What good is it for these rich second-generation kids to have so much money in their families? They are still a bunch of airheads. They don’t even know how to find a good person to copy from. When the results come out, they can cry together.
He is too lazy to even look at them again and goes back to checking his questions.
But Liu Yuliang doesn’t know what Wang Peng is thinking. His family and he himself don’t care about grades at all. It’s just that it doesn’t sound good to get a zero in math. But even if he does get a zero, it doesn’t stop Wang Peng from going home in a Maserati MC20 that ordinary people can’t afford in their lifetime.
At Occident, transfer students from poor backgrounds only care about grades, while ordinary students who are rich and powerful only care about their mood.
“Oh, okay.” Tao Ning will not refuse a stranger with a normal attitude. He generously spreads out the test paper. To make it easier for Wang Peng to copy, he even pretends to accidentally move the test paper under the desk so that Wang Peng can see it more clearly.
Wang Peng’s face breaks into a smile. “You’re a great guy! A great guy! Thanks a lot.” He doesn’t even look at what he is copying. In short, he copies whatever Tao Ning writes. For the long problems, he only copies the first two parts and doesn’t write the complicated ones.
The commotion has actually already attracted the proctor’s attention, but he chooses to pretend not to see it. As long as it’s not so excessive that someone stands up and screams, “I want to copy from you!” the proctor in the last exam room is very lenient.
The proctor can only look at Xu Jun, this well-known good student, with a little relief. Maybe his performance was affected by being in the last exam room. Xu Jun is in a daze for a long time after finishing his test paper. He occasionally glances to his back right, and no one knows what he is looking at.
Until the final bell rings. The wailing in the exam room doesn’t last long before they have to quickly move on to the next one. Tao Ning silently puts away his “Example Essays for the Gaokao” and continues with the exams. Wang Peng next to him smiles from ear to ear from beginning to end, because Tao Ning writes very fast for all the subjects except for Chinese, which he fills up the entire one hundred and twenty minutes, and he is very generous, letting him see everything clearly.
He can’t copy it all! He can’t copy it all! He’s sitting in the exam room, and the answers are raining from the sky!
Liu Yuliang, sitting behind them, sneers. When he goes out for lunch, he doesn’t even want to walk between them. He goes out through the back door, and as a result, he misses a lot of gossip in the exam room again.
Because during the lunch break, a man dressed as a bodyguard in black clothes and black pants comes in with a huge lunch box. He walks straight to Tao Ning and says respectfully, “Young Master, this is a loving lunch handmade by the boss. Please enjoy.”
Tao Ning is a little confused, but given that only Zhao Jingqun and Xu Jun can cook, he nods and says, “Oh,” and “Thank you.” The lunch box is laid out in front of him. A table is full of various dishes, each in a small portion, according to Tao Ning’s appetite. There is also a small portion of the shrimp and broccoli stir-fry that Zhao Jingqun mentioned last time.
As soon as he picks up his chopsticks, a plastic bag is placed in front of him. Tao Ning looks up and sees Xu Jun standing opposite the bodyguard with an expressionless face. He says coldly, “You forgot to bring your medicine.” After that, he doesn’t wait for Tao Ning to speak and turns around and leaves.
But Tao Ning, with his sharp eyes, sees that he is carrying a blue lunch box… He shouldn’t have wanted to eat with him, right?
As soon as this thought appears, another man comes in. Tao Ning recognizes him as the person who called him to the school rooftop before. He has a bad feeling, and sure enough, the man ignores the table full of food and the fierce-looking bodyguard next to Tao Ning. He says with a fawning smile, “Young Master Tao, Young Master Song invites you to his office for lunch.”
At that moment, Tao Ning feels countless gazes in the classroom fall on him. The strongest feeling comes from his left, from a very cold and gloomy gaze, as familiar as being targeted by a venomous snake last time.
The bodyguard says, “Young Master, let me get you some soup. The boss stewed this broth for a whole night!”
The man says, “The second young master ordered a Michelin lunch. I’m sure you’ll like it.”
Xu Jun is expressionless.
The whispers in the classroom get louder and louder. There are also flashes from cameras. At that time, a post on the forum titled “Who doesn’t know about the explosive lunch in Exam Room 99 today? PS: It’s related to Tao Ning” quickly heats up.
Tao Ning: “…”
After a moment of silence, Tao Ning picks up his medicine and walks to the classroom door.
“I’m sorry, I want to go eat the oatmeal porridge from the cafeteria.”
After lunch break, Tao Ning finishes the remaining exams in one go. Wang Peng copies happily. At the end, because he is overjoyed, he puts his hand on Tao Ning’s shoulder like a good brother and says happily, “Bro, you’re so righteous. My name is Wang Peng. What’s your chat ID? I’ll add you. If you need anything in the future, just message me. I promise I’ll do anything for you.”
Tao Ning is stunned for a moment. He doesn’t refuse his kindness and says his phone number.
Without warning, a cold voice from behind them interrupts them. “Wang Peng, you’re not wearing your school uniform. One point deducted for personal appearance.”
The two of them turn around and see Xu Jun staring at them with a cold expression. He has a notebook in his hand. His distinctly jointed hand quickly writes a few words. He closes the notebook with a “smack,” and his cold gaze shifts to Wang Peng’s hand on Tao Ning’s shoulder.
Wang Peng’s explosive temper suddenly dies down under this oppressive gaze. He subconsciously lets go of Tao Ning. Only after the handsome and indifferent man leaves does he kick a chair and say angrily, “Damn it, Xu Jun must have a screw loose. He’s about to leave anyway. What the hell is he still being so cocky for…?”
Tao Ning doesn’t understand. “He’s about to leave… what does that mean?”
“You don’t know? Xu Jun is taking a leave of absence. I heard a super-rich businessman asked him to be a consultant. But for a family like his, once they have money, they probably won’t come to school to suffer anymore…”
Until he returns to the dorm after the exam, Tao Ning still hasn’t recovered from what Wang Peng said. His phone buzzes. He answers the call, and the man’s slightly hoarse voice laughs. “Sweetheart, was the oatmeal porridge delicious at noon?”
“Mhm… It was delicious.”
“Be good. I’ll make you an extra meal tonight when you get home. My car is at the school gate. Is it okay for your husband to come up and get you now?”
There is a movement in the kitchen. Tao Ning knows that the mission is not completed, but he has to go home, or Zhao Jingqun will become suspicious. He “Mhm”s. “No need. I’ll be right down.”
The moment Xu Jun comes out of the kitchen, Tao Ning hangs up the phone and puts it away. He has to take some clothes and a few practice books back with him. But before that, he has a question he wants to ask Xu Jun.
Since they cleared things up last time, Xu Jun has rarely spoken to him. In most cases, Tao Ning is the one who starts the topic. Although he usually doesn’t talk much, he is very talkative compared to the cold Xu Jun.
“Xu… Xu Jun, are you taking a leave of absence?”
Xu Jun lifts his eyelids. The young man in front of him is standing still. His body is thin. Occident’s school uniform outlines the young man’s slender waist. He looks flustered under his cold gaze. His face, which is so beautiful it’s almost sinful, is full of confusion and innocence—he’s clearly shameless, frivolous without knowing it, and seducing one man after another, at the exam and now.
He just chatted sweetly with that lover brother while he was in the kitchen.
His hand, which is holding the silver chopsticks, tightens. Xu Jun suppresses the surging jealousy and says a cold “Mhm.”
“Why?” The young man is stunned. Those seductive eyes look over carefully, making people want to make him cry even more.
Xu Jun moves his gaze away and asks back with an expressionless face, “In what capacity are you asking about my private business? As a classmate? A roommate? Or… your self-proclaimed friend?”
With these words, Tao Ning is speechless. These past few days, Xu Jun’s attitude has not only been cold, but he also speaks with thorns in his words. He doesn’t know how to communicate with Xu Jun anymore, so he just replies with silence and quietly packs his luggage.
Xu Jun watches him pack his backpack with cold eyes. Where is he going? Back to the Song family? But it’s only Thursday today, and the Song family is not safe now. The words he was about to say are swallowed back. His Adam’s apple rolls and feels dry and bitter.
He is a genius in the eyes of others, with his own pride.
The fist he clenches is so tight that it hurts. Xu Jun thinks coldly that he is not a pathetic worm wagging his tail for love from Tao Ning.
But Tao Ning is a silent gourd who doesn’t say anything unless someone asks him. He quietly packs his luggage, secretly stuffing the envelope with the shredded love letters into his backpack. He puts on his small backpack and is about to leave the dorm with a bag of clothes.
When he gets to the door and is about to close it, he finds that Xu Jun has already stood up and is standing behind him.
The man is very tall, only half an arm’s length away from him. His eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses are calmly looking at him. Although they are as deep as a cold pool, for a moment, his eyes flash with the grievance of a husband who has just watched his wife go out to meet other men.
Tao Ning is stunned. He thinks he is blocking Xu Jun’s way and takes a small step to the side. But Xu Jun doesn’t go out. He just follows behind him with an expressionless face, staring at him.
Not knowing what Xu Jun’s behavior means, Tao Ning has no choice but to leave. But gradually, he finds that Xu Jun, who is behind him, is following him silently, whether by coincidence or on purpose.
Because it is late, the moonlight is dim, and the trees cover the sky and the sun, the branches are like dead arms, looking sinister and terrifying. Occasionally, when he passes a dimly lit corner, a tall, ink-like shadow suddenly appears at his feet, and Tao Ning can’t help but jump.
He turns his head and can only see Xu Jun standing motionless behind him under the streetlights. Half of his face is hidden in the darkness. His thin lips are tight, a sign that he is in an extremely bad mood.
Although he can’t see Xu Jun’s features clearly, Tao Ning can feel the cold gaze in the darkness staring at him.
But… maybe Xu Jun is also going outside the school.
With this self-comfort and explanation, Tao Ning finally arrives at the school gate. The backpack on his back and the bag in his hand are instantly taken away by a pair of hands. Zhao Jingqun holds the two things, and his eyebrows are furrowed in distress. “We have everything at home. Why did you bring so much stuff back? What if your shoulders and hands hurt later…?”
Seeing that the young man doesn’t speak and keeps glancing behind him with a guilty expression, Zhao Jingqun’s eyes suddenly turn cold. His wolf-like eyes instantly look up. From a distance, he sees the expressionless Xu Jun.
The latter also lifts his eyelids, removing his sticky gaze from the young man’s back. The gazes of the poisonous snake and the vicious wolf instantly meet.
In an instant, the dangerous factors in the air become tense.
Zhao Jingqun recognizes Xu Jun’s identity at a glance. His smile doesn’t change. Ignoring the people coming and going at the school gate, he leisurely reaches out and pulls Tao Ning into his arms. He leans in and says ambiguously into his slightly trembling ear, his breath full of strong possessiveness spraying on the blushing soft flesh of the person in his arms.
“Be good. Your cousin will take you home to rest. Do you want to invite your roommate behind you to be a guest?”
Tao Ning’s body instantly stiffens. He thought Xu Jun had left. Is he still behind him…?
