Jiang Chun smiled gently. “I’m not as good as you make me out to be.”
When Jiang Ning turned around and saw Wen Nian, she was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect Wen Nian to have already returned to school. She rolled her eyes at her and said to Jiang Chun sarcastically, “Chunchun, 1 advise you to change seats quickly so that you won’t be led astray.”
Wen Nian knew that Jiang Ning was scolding her indirectly, but as long as the other party did not name her, there was no need for her to refute anything.
Seeing that Wen Nian did not dare to respond, Jiang Ning raised her head proudly.
Jiang Chun looked at Jiang Ning in confusion. “My deskmate is quite good. She’s very helpful.”
Jiang Ning reached out and tapped Jiang Chun’s head with her finger. She shook her head helplessly. “You’re just too innocent. Besides your deskmate, you have someone sitting behind you. Without me watching, you won’t even know when you’ve suffered a loss from her! Some people look harmless, but they’re ruthless!”
Jiang Ning’s intention was very obvious. Jiang Chun glanced at Wen Nian and hurriedly turned to Jiang Ning. “Don’t talk nonsense. Even food can’t stop you from talking.”
Jiang Chun had prepared a single serving, so Jiang Ning was naturally embarrassed to eat hers. Hence, she said, “No need. I’ll go out and eat. Be careful of some people. I’m not joking with you. You came from the capital, so you don’t know much about the situation at No. 1 High School.”
Jiang Chun frowned slightly and glared at Jiang Ning to stop her from continuing. Then, she urged gently, “Hurry up and eat your food.”
Jiang Ning was Jiang Chun’s cousin, but because they were the same age, the two of them usually called each other by their names.
Jiang Chun was famous for being innocent and easy to talk to in the Jiang family. In her eyes, there were no bad people in this world. This worried Jiang Ning.
Observing Jiang Ning’s lingering intention to speak, Jiang Chun stood up and gently grasped Jiang Ning’s arm. “If you don’t eat quickly, you’ll end up delaying your beauty sleep once more.”
Upon hearing Jiang Ning’s concerns, her attention quickly diverted. She raised her hands and touched her face, emphasizing, “Yes, yes, yes! Every nap matters greatly. I’ll go and have my meal now. And remember, be cautious of certain individuals!”
Jiang Chun escorted Jiang Ning out of the classroom. As she turned around to head back, she accidentally bumped into Shen Jun, who had just returned with his lunch. Observing Shen Jun’s left hand in a cast, she promptly stepped forward to assist him in retrieving the lunch box.
Shen Jun subconsciously moved to the side to distance himself from Jiang Chun and looked at her warily.
Jiang Chun smiled awkwardly. “I have no other intentions. 1 saw your hand and thought it wouldn’t be very convenient for you, so 1 wanted to help you.”
Shen Jun replied coldly, “No need, thank you.”
With that, Shen Jun entered the room sideways.
Jiang Chun felt a touch of helplessness at Shen Jun’s reaction. Returning to her seat, she noticed Shen Jun and Wen Nian taking out their lunch boxes. Turning to Wen Nian, she suggested, “Wen Nian, 1 made some braised pork ribs. They turned out quite well. Would you like to give them a try?”
Wen Nian glanced at the lunch box that had suddenly appeared on her table, then followed the hand holding it to look at Jiang Chun’s smiling face. She felt slightly taken aback by the other’s enthusiasm. “No need, thank you.”
Jiang Chun chuckled and cast a glance at Wen Nian and Shen Jun. “The two of you seem to have a good connection. I apologize if my enthusiasm has made you uncomfortable. 1 tend to be quite friendly by nature,” she explained with a warm smile.
Jiang Chun directed her gaze at Wen Nian once more and offered an apologetic tone. “Jiang Ning is my cousin, and 1 apologize on her behalf. She sometimes lacks filter in her words. Please don’t take it to heart,” she expressed with sincerity.
When Shen Jun heard Jiang Chun’s words, he looked at Wen Nian puzzledly.
Wen Nian smiled at Shen Jun. “Some people are idiots. There’s no need to pay attention to them.”
Shen Jun smiled upon hearing Wen Nian’s sarcastic remark. Knowing that Wen Nian was more than capable of holding her own in a verbal battle, he chose to lower his head and concentrate on his meal, not engaging further in the conversation.
Wen Nian glanced at Jiang Chun and responded, “You didn’t say anything that warrants an apology. There’s no need for you to apologize to me.”
Jiang Chun could tell that Wen Nian was unwilling to talk further, so she tactfully turned around and ate.
The days went by without any significant incidents. However, the only noteworthy development that caused a small wave of discussion was the shift in the title of the school beauty from Wen Nian to Jiang Chun, as seen on the No. 1 High School’s website.
After the midterm exams for the semester, Wen Nian successfully completed the second-year high school curriculum and officially began catching up with the third-year coursework.
Wen Nian’s dedication to her studies consumed the majority of her attention, leaving little time for matters unrelated to her academic performance. Her indifferent attitude towards other matters left some individuals who were hoping for her attention or reaction feeling dissatisfied and agitated.
In Hai City, the Jiang family held a slightly inferior position compared to the Wei family. However, when it came to the capital, the Wei family’s standing was considered lower than that of the Jiang family..
