After class, Jiang Cheng rushed over with his backpack, forcibly swapping seats with the student in front of Wen Ai. Wen Ai raised his head, called him "cousin," and then buried his head back into his arms.
Jiang Cheng straddled the chair, squinting as he observed Xu Changzhou in the adjacent seat for a while. He reached out and gave Wen Ai a pat to wake him up.
"What happened just now? You, who are usually so well-behaved, suddenly acted out? I was completely stunned. By the time I reacted, you guys were already done."
Because the system mentioned that the mission score only depends on the plot completion, regardless of any out-of-character actions, I've been letting loose. But now, to progress the plot, I have to be a bit more ruthless towards that aggressive guy.
Wen Ai couldn't say these things; he couldn't express them. Whenever it involved mission details, he would be silenced.
He casually made up a story, "Didn't like the vibe, incompatible auras, natural adversaries."
Jiang Cheng scratched his head, "But with your personality, it doesn't seem like you'd openly target someone you just met, right?"
Wen Ai pondered, "don't know, maybe I'm a little restless after entering puberty You're used to being restless, so you can't appreciate this kind of change."
Jiang Cheng has been unruly since childhood, causing mischief everywhere. Ordinary people couldn't match his antics even during the most "middle school" period. Wen Ai's explanation seemed reasonable.
Jiang Cheng suggested, "Should I find someone to teach him a lesson?"
Without hesitation, Wen Ai shook his head, "No need."
The sound of chairs being pushed and pulled came from nearby. Wen Ai turned her head and saw Xu Changzhou putting down his pen and leaving the classroom. He followed suit, planning to seize the opportunity to provoke him again.
Students liked to gather in the hallway, but with a glance, Xu Changzhou's head was at a different level than everyone else's.
Wen Ai estimated, he must be at least 183 cm tall, and growing into adulthood, he might reach 190 cm.
He wasn't jealous at all.
Maintaining a safe distance, Wen Ai followed closely. When he saw Xu Changzhou entering the restroom from afar, he slowed down, timed his exit, and leisurely approached the door.
As soon as he stepped out of the men's restroom, Wen Ai pretended to be surprised, lowering his head and accidentally bumping into him.
With his height, Wen Ai precisely nestled into Xu Changzhou's arms. His lowered head collided with his firm chest muscles, a bit painful. The counterforce bounced him backward, but Xu Changzhou reached out to support him.
Just as Wen Ai steadied himself, he immediately played the victim and raised his eyebrows, expressing irritation, "How do you walk? Are you trying to look good and have no eyes?"
Xu Changzhou's gaze fell on his forehead, now reddened from the collision. He pursed his thin lips without offering any explanation.
A nearby male student, witnessing the entire incident, tried to speak up, "Classmate, it seems like you-"
The guy's friend pulled him away before he could finish speaking. In a hushed tone, the companion advised, "That's the young master of the Zhao family. Quickly, don't get involved!"
Now, even the onlookers didn't dare to interfere. They hastily walked away with their friend.
Wen Ai proudly cast a sidelong glance at Xu Changzhou, his mouth slightly curved, a teasing expression that tickled the hearts of those watching. "They are all afraid of me. No one will come to help you."
