39: Chapter 39 Jiang Jinyue's Sulking, the God of Self-Conquest

Students arrived in the classroom one after another.

Almost everyone who entered subconsciously paused their gaze on Tang Luochuan for a few seconds—this boy, who had disappeared for four days and carried the "legend of luxury cars" with him, had suddenly returned to school, which in itself was a topic of conversation.

Would this guy stir up some new trouble again?

When many girls looked for seats, they intentionally or unintentionally gravitated toward the corner where Tang Luochuan was sitting.

Some chose seats diagonally in front of him, stealing glances at him from time to time.

Others simply sat at the table next to him, their elbows almost touching, clearly looking for a chance to strike up a conversation.

Finally, a girl with a ponytail plucked up the courage, her voice tinged with shyness: "Classmate Tang, long time no see."

"Oh, hello." Tang Luochuan looked up at the girl in front of him, having absolutely no recollection of her.

"What are you studying?"

"I'm playing a game..."

Tang Luochuan didn't want to look at any study materials; he had only glanced at them casually anyway, and his mind was incredibly clear.

"Then what games do you usually play?" Another stylishly dressed girl leaned over, carrying a strange, nose-stinging, yet pleasant fragrance.

"Uh... just whatever... card games."

"Oh? Specifically..."

"Fight the Landlord."

"Hahaha!"

Several girls surrounded him, trying not to be too obvious, chatting sporadically.

It wasn't until a commotion arose at the door that Jiang Jinyue, extremely reluctantly, was ushered into the classroom, surrounded by boys.

The fact that she and Tang Luochuan hadn't worked things out spread like wildfire, and the news had already circulated throughout the department.

It wasn't just those in her class; students from other classes, and even upperclassmen from other grades, began to curry favor with her.

But the girl remained the same; as she walked into the classroom, her first glance landed on Tang Luochuan, whom she hadn't been in contact with for days.

There was a hint of resentment in her heart, and she felt very reluctant.

Looking at the seating in the classroom, she deliberately chose a seat quite far away from him and sat down.

The boy also felt a bit awkward.

Jiang Jinyue remained composed, sitting in her seat, opening her textbook and computer.

She then unscrewed her water bottle and poured a small cup of water.

Her movements were brisk and tinged with sulkiness; anyone could tell that the girl was in a bad mood.

"Jinyue, want to go watch a movie together?"

Brother Chen Hao was at it again; in his mind, Jiang Jinyue's status had risen even higher, as she wasn't swayed by a 'playboy rich kid' like Tang Luochuan.

A good girl from a well-off family who wasn't materialistic...

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"No~~ What movie!" Jiang Jinyue's voice raised slightly, and she couldn't help but glance backward; she wanted to see how Tang Luochuan would react to hearing her words.

Would this guy be jealous? Would he be unhappy??

If Tang Luochuan apologized right now, she would definitely forgive him...

"Come over and tell me you're sorry~~" Jiang Jinyue felt restless inside.

Chen Hao's eyes, however, lit up; this was the first time the goddess had actually looked at him.

"Uh... let me see, it's called... 'The Bund Princess's Road to Chasing Her Husband'!" Chen Hao was stunned himself after saying the name; he hadn't even booked the tickets yet.

It wasn't a particularly popular movie, just a niche romance film.

But it was suitable for taking a girl to watch...

It's just that the movie title was too suggestive.

Jiang Jinyue's brows furrowed even tighter, and she turned her face to look at Chen Hao: "Are you doing this on purpose?"

"No, that's just the name! Should we change to another one??"

Jiang Jinyue sat up straight, as if speaking to the air: "Let me see if I have time tonight, we'll talk about it later."

She didn't dare to agree completely, as she was still waiting for Tang Luochuan to apologize or get jealous.

If she agreed right away, then everything would be over.

Last time she went back, Su Yuanyuan and Liu Xin 'scolded' her, saying she was putting on airs and lecturing the boy.

It would be a miracle if he still paid any attention to you.

Jiang Jinyue still caught a glimpse of Tang Luochuan out of the corner of her eye...

If he doesn't look at me, he's doing it to make me angry on purpose.

If he steals a look at me, then there's still a chance...

But what Jiang Jinyue didn't expect was that Tang Luochuan was staring straight at her.

"This little miss, is she putting on a long face for me??" he muttered to himself.

As soon as she entered, Jiang Jinyue's gaze met his, and she rolled her eyes at him, to say nothing of the rest.

The series of actions just now—getting her book, getting her computer, opening her water bottle—were all done with excessive force.

Tang Luochuan was genuinely afraid that this girl might suddenly throw her laptop at his head; he wished he had chosen Body Enhancement earlier.

And he wasn't shy about it either; if he wanted to look, he'd look...

Zhang Ming and Zhou Qi arrived at this moment, and both of them clearly hadn't slept well last night.

When they saw Tang Luochuan, they wanted to go over and sit, but there were no seats left.

The two found a random seat to sit down, but unexpectedly, Tang Luochuan got up and sat next to them.

"What's wrong? Not happy being surrounded by beauties?" Zhang Ming teased with a smile.

Tang Luochuan: "Oh, give me a break. They've all sprayed perfume; you go smell it, it's nose-stinging!"

Zhou Qi hooked his arm around his shoulder and whispered: "Jiang Jinyue has been secretly cursing you these past two days... I heard it."

"What did she curse me about?"

"@#@%￥%..."

Zhou Qi rambled on a bunch, and Tang Luochuan widened his eyes, looking at Jiang Jinyue not far away in disbelief.

This woman cursed me that badly??

She actually said that??

And Jiang Jinyue also noticed the boy's new position; he was even closer to her!

— "He's doing this on purpose! Definitely!

He wants to talk to me but can't bring himself to do it, so he's using the seat change to secretly get closer to me!

And Zhou Qi must have spoken up for me; Zhou Qi has seen how bad my mood has been these past two days.

Tang Luochuan knows now, he must feel bad for me! And he still claims he doesn't care about me!"

The more Jiang Jinyue thought about it, the more she felt this was exactly the case, and she had already secretly played out an entire drama in her mind.

The first class began, and Tang Luochuan felt that although the system had enhanced his brain...

...it still hadn't cured his habit of wanting to sleep as soon as class started.

Especially since he had already learned all this knowledge.

And his only moments of alertness relied on chatting with Shen Muyan...

Students who could get into this university weren't bad at studying; even Zhang Ming and Zhou Qi were listening attentively.

Of course, whether they could understand it, and how much they could understand, varied from person to person.

But their attitude toward studying was very serious, with the only exceptions being Tang Luochuan and Jiang Jinyue.

He knew what the professor was going to say next after hearing just one sentence; he had absolutely no interest and felt it was a waste of time.

Jiang Jinyue would listen for a while, take some notes, and then steal a glance at Tang Luochuan.

"He's distracted, is it because of me? He must have had a rough few days too; he's probably thinking about how to smooth things over with me later."

The girl started having an internal dialogue with herself again, but in reality, it was more like a form of self-delusion.

No one told her that if she kept thinking like this, she would fall in love with this boy.

After the three morning classes, the last period was still self-study.

After returning to their fixed classroom, the feeling became even more awkward...

Because Jiang Jinyue's seat was right in front of Tang Luochuan's.
