Chapter 910: Chapter 908: A Mom Who Wants to Strike It Rich Every Day 10
Just like in the Commissioner’s memory, Pei Chen had a high-cold demeanor that kept strangers at a distance.
Shortly after the school started, he was remembered by many girls who sent him love letters, but he surely didn’t care at all, offending every girl who tried to know him in no time.
Ah Chen didn’t pay much attention to Pei Chen; he didn’t do anything, and she couldn’t take the initiative toward him.
Pei Chen actually noticed Ah Chen. Despite not being the Commissioner now, he was still deeply impressed with this beautiful desk mate.
After all, it was the first time since childhood that he encountered a girl who gazed at him with such calmness, very different from other girls who rushed to him, making it impossible for him not to notice her.
His mom was very strict and would absolutely not allow him to get close to girls and do anything that might affect his studies.
Originally, he didn’t like those girls either and didn’t care much.
But due to his mom’s strictness, he had no privacy, and it still made him feel suffocated. He had protested before, but seeing how tough it was for his mom to raise him alone and seeing her cry made him relent. However, as time passed, he felt he lost a lot, like something was accumulating inside him ready to explode at any moment.
Sometimes he also had impulses to break free from his mom’s shackles, wondering what it would feel like.
It must be liberating.
But he was really afraid of his mom’s tantrums; she once almost jumped off the building in front of him when she was most agitated. It was truly terrifying.
"An, where did you buy that pen? It looks great!"
"Could you help me buy one?"
"That pencil case looks good too, but I prefer black. Do you have a black version? Could you also help me buy one?"
"An, I don’t quite understand this question, could you explain it to me?"
"Thank you, once you explain it, I understand immediately. You’re really amazing."
"I can’t even imagine what I would do without you."
What differed from the Commissioner’s memory was that Ah Chen discovered a boy sitting behind her, who had a low presence in the Commissioner’s memory.
He turned out to be a chatterbox!
In the Commissioner’s memory, this student named Jian Mo wasn’t often at school and not very talkative. Later, for some unknown reason, he never came back to school. The Commissioner was having troubles of her own at the time, with changes in her family, leaving her no time to notice others but for Pei Chen who proactively approached, becoming a part of her life while still holding uncertain fate for her.
Ah Chen looked up and saw a handsome and serious face: "If you could come for more than just two days a week, you’d understand these as well, so I wouldn’t have to teach you."
This little fragment missed classes frequently, not sure what’s going on.
Jian Mo flashed a smile: "No way, other things need attending to, but once busy days are over, I assure you, class attendance will improve. Luckily, An, you’re around, or I’d be lost, you’re truly good-looking and helpful."
"Isn’t it just that you have a thick face?" Ah Chen laughed quietly.
Jian Mo didn’t refute either: "It’s An’s good heart, otherwise no matter how thick-skinned I am, it’s impossible to get your help, right?"
"I’ll treat you to milk tea later."
Ah Chen didn’t refuse, and went to the cafeteria with Jian Mo at noon.
Jian Mo was busy getting meals and buying milk tea, looking very occupied.
By coincidence or not, Pei Chen sat not far from the two, and Ah Chen could even sense his occasional scrutinizing glances.
Jian Mo noticed it too, casually gazing over, spotting Pei Chen, raised eyebrows, this posing high-cold guy indeed.
Could it be that he had thoughts about An?
Jian Mo vigorously sucked on his milk tea, pulled out his phone, and opened a group: Brothers, I think as a student, one should actually spend more time in school studying.
Langlang: So?
Xiaoju: At this critical time, you’re planning to bail? This isn’t like you, say, were you hijacked by someone? It’s rare our baby lock’s gone, finally doing what we want, and you play this card?
Piaopiao: Ran into something? Speak out, we’ll solve it together.
Jian Mo (Leng): Brothers, studying is really important. Been skipping too much class, thank goodness for kind classmates who explained things, otherwise I’d totally fall behind.
Langlang: Pfft, I thought you were going to say the name for your kid is ready.
Langlang: Probably a female classmate? Or you wouldn’t bring it up, surely not for a big old guy.
Jian Mo (Leng): Kid? What kid? Does such a creature need to exist? Can’t imagine it.
Xiaoju: It’s really a female classmate! You’re going to give up your dreams for love? Traitor!
Piaopiao: Why not have both? We’re adults now, no need to choose, go for dreams and love, Leng, I don’t believe you’d only pick one.
Jian Mo (Leng): Piaopiao knows me best, you guys plan it, I’ll give you a new spot, just outside my high school, how’s that? You all transfer and study here, just agree, and I’ll handle the rest. Originally without this, we’d still have to stick together for convenience’s sake, avoiding other accidents.
Chi Fang: It’s nearby anyway, could go over, but can I skip school? Brother, I’m just a bad student, really don’t want to attend school.
Jian Mo (Leng): Come over first, your thinking’s off, if you become famous you’ll get criticized for your education level. It’s okay not to think about it now, life’s long, you’ll have the chance to study later. Your family’s relaxed, as long as you don’t get into trouble, they’ll thank the heavens.
When I met this kid, he even asked me for protection money.
He was a good person, pulling a promising young man back. But, he did beat the kid up good, making him cry out.
Xiaoju: No problem, my whole family’s abroad, my grades are okay enough to get into Leng’s class, brother, help me set it up, it’s easy! Hehe, and I could play god-assist to Leng, as a foil. With me beside, better highlighting Leng’s handsomeness and charm. Though Leng, keeping high-cold style and speaking less attracts more.
Jian Mo (Leng): Come on, don’t talk nonsense, does brother’s charm need your foil?
Originally he indeed wanted to be a high-cold person, even wanted his online name to be high-cold, but felt something was off, dropped ’high’ only kept ’cold’, seemed fitting.
His given name looked like a silent person, but alas couldn’t be done, holding back words would suffocate him.
He also thought of that high-cold guy Pei Chen, hurriedly shook his head, it was too much of a show, couldn’t pull it off. An probably wouldn’t like that, or she’d be like other girls, given they’re still classmates.
