CH 14.1

I’m Running For (1)

After the physics class ended, the second class was chemistry.

The confusion and novelty of the first day of the shift class trial were evident in the first break.

After class, a group of students excitedly hurried along the corridor like headless flies1 to find their next classroom.

There were fewer people in the competition class, so it was the only one with the exact class location. More than half of the thirty or so people left the classroom for other classes, and left only a few to stay for this chemistry class.

At the same time, new students came looking for the class according to the door’s sign one after another.

In the back row of the classroom, Qin Yuan sat at his seat and coldly looked at Ruan Qingmu. “Can you be a little serious? I’m talking about a serious matter with you.”

Ruan Qingmu raised his head and felt a little flabbergasted. “I’m always very serious, ah.”

Looking at the slight anger that emerged on Qin Yuan’s face, he suddenly realised. “Oh, you’re talking about that, ah. That is also a serious word.”

He had just slept for half of the lesson. The rims of his eyes were a little red, and the pair of peach blossom eyes were lazy. “I really came to see you.”

Class 1’s literature representative, Lu Lianyi, wearing a  high ponytail, entered the classroom while holding the chemistry textbook with quick and light steps.

At a glance, she saw the scene in the back row.

Their class monitor, who was always calm, self-restrained, and didn’t like to show his emotion, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the collar of the boy opposite!

Qin Yuan slightly leaned down and coldly looked at Ruan Qingmu. The two people’s faces were extremely close, so close that they could clearly see each other’s eyelashes and the equally black and bright deep pupils.

“Listen properly.” Qin Yuan slowly tightened his fingers and grasped Ruan Qingmu’s collar tighter. “Nobody will accompany you to play here. If you are a bit conscientious of yourself, you should go to the standard class, which suits you. Do you understand?”

The top students who rushed to the chemistry competition class looked at the back row in shock and looked at each other in dismay.

Lu Lianyi’s pretty brows knitted and she bit her lips in worry.

After being in the class for more than a year, Qin Yuan was cold with the girls, but he was also distant with the boys. When had he ever been seen clashing with people continuously like this?

Ruan Qingmu looked up and the smile on his face faded.

He reached out and placed his slightly cold fingers lightly on Qin Yuan’s wrist.

“Do you know that you’re so bothersome?” He met Qin Yuan’s gaze, narrowing his curved peach blossom eyes. “It’s always like this. Right or wrong, white or black, righteous or evil, good or bad; you have the final say alone.”

Qin Yuan coldly looked at him; his eyebrows were sharp. “Always?”

Ruan Qingmu was silent for a while and suddenly sneered.

This person must have drunk a lot of Meng Po soup on the Naihe bridge2.

He completely forgot about everything. He completely forgot about his previous life. He completely forgot about that brief period of the past.

But he never forgot to be like in the past, always looking at him as if he disliked him and wanted to get rid of him quickly.

He pressed on Qin Yuan’s wrist bone and wrenched his wrist free.

It was only a light touch, but unyielding.

“Take care of yourself properly. As for others–” He lowered his eyes; a light blue-green vein was distinctly visible on his thin and fair-white eyelids. “What does it matter to you, great class monitor Qin?”

……

The two new deskmates on the back row didn’t say any word anymore for the entire afternoon.

The last class in the evening finally ended. The biology teacher still raced against the time and the lesson dragged. Fu Songhua already left from the neighbouring classroom and sneakily stood in the corridor, glancing inside the competition class.

Fuck, what kind of scary situation was this?

Who was sleeping beside Boss Qin in the last row??

He was still feeling terrified when another person came beside him. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Fang Li blankly gazing inside the window like him.

“What are you doing here?” Fu Songhua stared at him.

Fang Li spoke in a low voice. “Wait, waiting for a classmate to have dinner…..”

Fu Songhua raised an eyebrow. “Waiting for Ruan Qingmu from your class?”

Fang Li looked down and didn’t dare to look at him. “Mn, his leg isn’t good, so I’m helping him to get food.”

“You’re kind.” Fu Songhua clicked his tongue. “Mixing with a crazy person, aren’t you afraid of being infected?”

Fang Li’s voice was very small. “No, no…..he’s very good.”

Fu Songhua rolled his eyes. He had been handsome since birth, so even his rolling eyes looked sunny. “Are you a stutterer? A stutterer with a disabled person, no wonder your relationship is good.”

Fang Li’s face turned a little pale. “No, it’s not like that…..”

After saying it, Fu Songhua felt a bit remorseful, and he quickly waved his hand.

“Hey, I’m talking nonsense, don’t take it seriously! You’re a kind-hearted person, helping a disabled classmate. You must be a little angel.”

Fang Li blushed and pursed his lips.
