A CERTAIN SOMEONE ( THE ON1Y ONE )

Chapter 085 - Shifting Den

He Said: Let’s Rent a Place Together.

The Wall of Honour was in an area of the corridor that everyone had to pass by, with the strikingly outstanding red piece of paper as well as the newly-pasted photographs, the passing-by students would all stop and take a look. Barely half a day passed before there was already an extra line of heart shapes next to Sheng Wang’s photo, nearly identical to the one next to Jiang Tian’s. This was probably a tradition among Fuzhong girls.
Sheng Wang was filled with some mixed feelings when he saw them, thinking, the one in this photo has been so cowardly lately, you can still bear to draw your heart shapes?

He took a look back at his behaviour for the past few days after he finally escaped the caught defenseless state he was stuck in, and only felt that the him for the past few days was so goddamn silly. His mindset upon facing exams was clearly more stable than stable, why did he fumble around and panic so much upon having something like this happen to him?

Weakling, immature, can’t withstand a single hit, he mocked himself.

People are often like this — the incoming storm was a fearsome foe to them, and as they managed to get away without doing anything, they would think whatever they felt was utter bullshit.
Thanks to previous experiences, a normal ordinary event made him feel very insecure as long as Qi Jiahao was dragged in. Sheng Wang attempted to look for him and try to wring a little information out of him, but the other person unfortunately had only grudges and not friendship with him. He couldn’t find an appropriate way to start the conversation, so he could only go to Gao Tianyang for an indirect answer.

“He found the bag, got it back yesterday. Didn’t really lose anything. Old Song, who was just being nice as a class comm member, even tried to show a little concern, but got ugly words in return instead. He said that Old Song was being fake.” Gao Tianyang did not catch a whiff of anything unusual at all, and the moment he was asked, everything came pouring out of him like a waterfall. “I didn’t catch anything unusual about him though. Ever since he sabotaged you, hasn’t he always been half dead like that. Apparently, he was hit by his mom after his grades dropped in last week’s exam, and recently, his behaviour has been more...peculiar.”

Sheng Wang then found an excuse and made two trips to the administration office on his own. The group of teachers were talking as per normal, and Big Mouth Xu, due to his overly excellent mood, kept cracking jokes with him; he didn’t act like he was hiding anything from him. He found out from Big Mouth Xu that the other students that lost their stuff had all found their items one by one, there wouldn't be any more people who would have a lightbulb appear on their head and go check the security footage.
As such, this accident that rudely cut in had seemingly passed over just like that.

It was evening by the time he left the administration office, the last period in the afternoon just so happened to end. Jiang Tian descended the stairs from the other end of the corridor, turning into Class B on the third floor. Sheng Wang spotted him from afar, and had the feeling of having a great burden lifted off his back for some inexplicable reason. Like his childhood days, when he would be lost in the maze of alleys outside of White Horse Alley, and had made countless twists and turns before he spotted the gate to his house.
He crouched and ran over, wanting to launch a sneak attack and jump onto Jiang Tian’s back. However, he stopped in his steps upon getting nearer to him. A moment of hesitation, and in the end, he simply snapped his fingers next to Jiang Tian’s left ear, before dodging to the right with a devilish grin.

Finals were approaching, yet another major exam involving the changing of classes. The entire student population was up to their heads in the mountain of revision.
Qiu Wenbin and Shi Yu packed their luggages, and got their asses back from home to the school at last, ready to join the army of students revising. What happened instead was on the very first day they moved back in, Shi Yu experienced for himself the fickleness of the human heart, and how friends could turn on you in a blink.
