Chapter 403: Brother, you're absolutely right

~7 min read 1,234 words

Jiang Liangjin closed his textbook leisurely, tapping the cover lightly twice with his fingertips, as if weighing his words.

Mu Youyu looked at him with sparkling eyes, waiting for him to speak.

His voice was just loud enough for the rows before and after to hear, "He came to me on his own."

Mu Youyu blinked, "He came on his own?"

"Yes, I wouldn't go out of my way to bother him for no reason."

Jiang Liangjin leaned back in his chair, seeing she was genuinely curious, he explained: "Before the school term started, he learned from Jiang Ye Ye that I was transferring, sent me a message saying he wanted to take over the student council president position."

Song Lujing squeezed next to Mu Xi, leaned over and asked, "Then what?"

No matter who it is, joining in the fun is definitely right.

Jiang Liangjin glanced at him, "Then I asked him, you weren't the one who said you couldn't be bothered with these formalities, were you?"

Mu Youyu's interest rose again, "Wow, what did he say?"

Jiang Liangjin's lips curled slightly, "He said, 'This time, that time.'"

Mu Xi: "Who?"

Yu Ci poked his head over from the back row, all gossip, "So who is it? And it's related to Jiang Ye Ye, I hate it when you two speak in riddles!"

"Jiang Ji."

Yu Ci snorted immediately, "This little green tea, a dead thing."

Gu Xingnan thoroughly agreed.

Jiang Ji is Cheng Siqing's son and Jiang Liangjin's cousin; last semester, in the car accident incident, it was either him and Yu Cheng going out to play and getting hit together, or it was his good father, good brother who designed it.

Every time I go to the Jiang family and see him, if someone opposes him or Jiang Liangjin retorts at him, he puts on a pitiful act in front of outsiders, making one feel sick.

"Maybe we shouldn't say that about him……" Mu Youyu remembered she hadn't told Yu Ci, Gu Xingnan about Song Yusui, Lu Yuchu and his relationship.

Speaking of which, her initial label for Jiang Ji was annoying and dislike; after learning about Cheng Siqing's relationship with her aunt, her feelings toward him turned indifferent.

Knowing this person would replace A Jin's position, Mu Youyu's first reaction was, "Can this person handle it?"

Jiang Ji's reputation outside compares to Lin Yu's; if there's anything better than Lin Yu, it's only that he doesn't love talking about romance as much as Lin Yu does, and Jiang Ji rarely walks around with girls.

Come to think of it, this person is famously lazy, idle, and seems incapable; you can't tell he could take on this position.

Yu Ci quickly retorted, "Why can't we say that?"

Jiang Liangjin didn't take his words, instead reaching into the desk drawer to pull out another bottle of water, twist it open and hand it over, "You thirsty too?"

Song Lujing just watched helplessly as the mineral water that used to be at his seat dwindled away.

Yu Ci was stunned by this sudden concern, took the bottle and drank a sip, then realized, "No, don't change the subject."

Jiang Liangjin replied calmly, "Not changing the subject, just feel it's unnecessary to waste time on irrelevant people."

Mu Xi interjected out of nowhere, tone light: "He's actually quite ambitious."

Song Lujing pursed his lips, "What use is ambition? No ability means no ability. The Lan Lin student council president isn't a position just anyone can hold; if those like Xia Chao-yi ran for election, that person would have to step down."

"Not necessarily." Mu Xi rarely spoke up for someone else, "At least he's A Jin's cousin, his social connections are decent, just a bit lazy."

Mu Youyu organized her thoughts, then went along with her brother's line: "Brother, you're absolutely right."

Yu Ci wore a look of anticipating the show, declaring confidently, "I bet he won't last a month."

Gu Xingnan stayed silent beside them; Yu Ci poked him, "What do you think?"

Gu Xingnan's tone was neutral: "You seem quite concerned about him."

Yu Ci blinked, "I was just saying it offhand; who's paying attention to him?"

"Yeah, just saying it offhand." Gu Xingnan repeated, his tone showing no emotion, lowered his eyes and began flipping through the textbook.

Yu Ci felt a bit dazed by his lukewarm attitude, scratched his head, moved closer to see his complexion, but Gu Xingnan had already turned to a new page.

His expression was focused, as if he were studying some profound problem.

? What the heck, Yu Ci full of doubt, "Hey, are you angry?"

"No."

"Then why are you ignoring me?"

"I'm reading."

"Can a book be as good-looking as me?"

The other person said nothing.

Yu Ci stared at him for two seconds, feeling something was off but couldn't put his finger on it, so he grudgingly shrank back to his own seat.

The spectators didn't hear anything useful and had no thoughts.

Song Lujing: Baffling.

Jiang Liangjin took in the scene, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting as he turned his head toward Mu Xi, noticing she was also looking at the back row; their eyes met, and in silent understanding they said nothing.

The opening ceremony of the two schools arrived.

Nan Feng's students had already received their uniforms yesterday, just like Lan Lin's, with four-season sets plus a formal outfit, nearly thirty sets issued at once.

As Mu Youyu and the others walked into the classroom, Han Mo, wearing a neat uniform, raised an eyebrow, "Hey, why aren't you wearing your uniforms?"

The early-arriving Song Lujing lifted his head from his seat, stood up and walked over, "Shut up."

Mu Youyu's persona still held; she rarely chipped in, "Cold."

She didn't say she felt cool either; lately, for some reason, eating too many cold things makes her stomach ache.

In February this year, the weather fluctuated between cold and hot; yesterday it was still 20 degrees, and just as she thought it would warm up, today it dropped to 8 degrees.

Han Mo gave her a once-over, seeing her bundled in a thick coat with the pompom on her hat bobbing up and down, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Alright, little sister, you really are afraid of the cold."

Song Lujing rubbed his sister's little hat, "Sis, if you dress like that, won't you be hot when we go to the auditorium later? The air conditioning is on inside."

Mu Youyu shook her head, "No, I'm wearing few layers underneath."

Jiang Liangjin reached out and pinched the pompom on her hat, his tone tinged with helplessness, "When you ate ice cream yesterday, why weren't you afraid of the cold?"

"That's not the same." Mu Youyu's steps halted, she guiltily shrank her neck, how could A Jin be the same as big brother?

"How is it not the same?"

"Ice cream is ice cream, weather is weather, the weather is cold, ice cream is refreshing."

Jiang Liangjin was amused by her twisted logic, before he could speak Mu Xi subtly blocked him, "Don't talk about my sister, mainly yesterday's weather was more suitable for eating ice cream."

After a few seconds of stalemate, Jiang Liangjin finally gave face, "Brother, you're completely right."

Mu Xi felt a sense of déjà vu; this person was again imitating the little sister's speech.
