Chapter 130: Zhang Peng's lifelong nemesis

Before evening self-study, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan went for their usual jog on the track field.

With Qin Tian's current physical fitness, the significance of this exercise was actually not that great anymore.

Xia Nuannuan had also slimmed down and no longer needed to rely on this for fat loss.

But for both of them, it had become a good habit they were willing to stick to long-term.

After the run, the two still went to the campus supermarket, bought two bottles of water and a few snacks, and returned to the classroom.

From quite a distance, they saw Zhang Peng bickering with a girl at the back door of the classroom, with the school beauty Su Yan standing beside them.

That's right, the girl bickering with Zhang Peng was none other than his lifelong nemesis, Tian Jiajia.

After the exam results came out a few days ago, Su Yan, Tian Jiajia, and another little sister had come to Class Ten again to congratulate Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan on their great success in the exams.

Xia Nuannuan went out to chat with them for a while and became friends with Su Yan's two little sisters as well.

Since then, the three girls would come to visit the class from time to time; today, it looked like only these two had come.

Every time they came, whenever Tian Jiajia and Zhang Peng bumped into each other, they would always have a "happy enemies" style verbal sparring match, with Zhang Peng winning less and losing more.

"Su Yan, Tian Jiajia!"

Xia Nuannuan called out.

Hearing the voice, the two girls immediately looked toward her.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered to waste my breath on you, hurry up and get in there, don't be an eyesore here."

Tian Jiajia waved her hand at Zhang Peng with a face full of disgust.

"Who are you to tell me what to do? This is our classroom, I, your brother, just want to stand here, so what?"

Zhang Peng smiled with a cheeky look.

Tian Jiajia rolled her eyes at him and looked at the approaching Qin Tian to complain: "Male God, hurry up and deal with this jerk, we just got here and he started looking for trouble."

"Bullshit, Brother Tian, don't listen to her nonsense. I was just about to go take a piss, I couldn't be bothered to even look at her, and she suddenly started speaking in that sarcastic, disgusting way."

Zhang Peng immediately retorted.

"Zhang Peng, you're full of shit, who could be more disgusting than you?"

"You're the most disgusting!"

"You're the most disgusting, get lost!"

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing here, our Class Monitor is going to blow a fuse!"

Qin Tian said with a wry smile to mediate.

The two snorted simultaneously and turned their heads away, looking like they didn't want to bother with each other anymore.

Qin Tian scratched his head with a bitter smile.

He didn't want to get involved in the grievances between these two at all.

Xia Nuannuan and Su Yan also exchanged a smile, both wearing helpless expressions.

"Male God, Xia Nuannuan, what have you two been up to? Your faces are flushed and you're covered in sweat?"

Tian Jiajia asked with a meaningful look and a mischievous smile.

Xia Nuannuan's pretty face flushed, and she explained in a flustered manner: "We just went to the track field for a run, we go every day before evening self-study."

She was now quite familiar with Tian Jiajia's personality.

She would tease her and Qin Tian from time to time, which always made her very embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do about it.

As for Tian Jiajia's nickname for Qin Tian, she didn't mind.

Tian Jiajia was a fan girl; she called the male celebrity idols she liked in the entertainment industry "Male God" as well.

Xia Nuannuan knew she had a crush on Qin Tian, but it was completely different from her own feelings for him, so it wasn't a threat.

Furthermore, she found Tian Jiajia's lively and cheerful personality quite interesting.

"Just running? Nothing else?"

Tian Jiajia showed a skeptical expression and said with a smile: "There are so many 'wild mandarin ducks' in our school meeting up on the track field or in the woods. I've seen it several times, holding hands, and even like this..."

She pouted and made a kissing gesture.

"It really was just running!"

Xia Nuannuan stomped her feet in embarrassment.

Qin Tian, on the other hand, was calm and composed; instead, he raised his right hand to stroke his chin, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Hee hee... Nuannuan, your Qin Tian is starting to think dirty."

Tian Jiajia pursed her lips at Qin Tian.

Xia Nuannuan turned her head to look at Qin Tian, her pretty face turning even redder, and she balled up her fist and punched him.

"Cough cough... wh, what?"

Qin Tian played dumb with a straight face.

"Alright, Jiajia, stop teasing her."

Su Yan said to Tian Jiajia.

Tian Jiajia nodded with a smile and didn't say anything more.

"Some people, I don't know what they're thinking about all day long."

Zhang Peng suddenly mocked.

"Huh?"

Tian Jiajia glared at him instantly, looking displeased: "Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Heh!"

"Old Man Zhang, we young people are chatting, why are you still here? Hurry up and go inside to sit and rest!"

"Heh!"

"Besides 'heh', what else can you do?"

"That's still better than some people."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Xia Nuannuan raised her hand to make a stop gesture, preventing the two from continuing to bicker, and looked at Su Yan to ask: "Why are you here now? Is something the matter?"

"Right, I almost forgot."

Su Yan nodded and said seriously: "We saw the two girls sitting in front of you leave the school gate. They're your friends, right?"

"Huh?"

Xia Nuannuan's expression became serious, and she immediately asked: "What's going on?"

"We don't know the situation either, they left with another girl. We saw that their expressions didn't look very good, so we were worried there might be some trouble and came to tell you."

Tian Jiajia answered first.

Zhang Peng, standing at the door, poked his head into the classroom, looked at Qin Tian and said: "Cui Ying and Qiu Man aren't in the classroom."

"What about Xu Ying?"

Qin Tian asked with a frown.

Zhang Peng turned his head to look again, then shook his head with a dark face.

Xia Nuannuan looked at Qin Tian in astonishment, anxiety appearing on her pretty face.

"How about this, Zhang Peng and I will go out of the school gate to look for them, you guys go back to the classroom!"

Qin Tian said to the three girls.

Su Yan and Tian Jiajia realized the atmosphere was wrong and nodded in agreement.

"No, I want to go with you."

Xia Nuannuan refused.

"Nuannuan, the evening self-study bell is about to ring, you stay in the classroom and help us tell the Class Monitor."

Qin Tian advised.

"No!"

Xia Nuannuan still shook her head in refusal, looking him straight in the eye with determination, her tone solemn: "They are my friends, I'm going too!"

Qin Tian scratched his head in conflict, then nodded helplessly: "Fine, Zhang Peng, you go tell the Class Monitor, then hurry up and catch up."

"Got it!"

Zhang Peng nodded and turned to enter the classroom without another word.

"Let's go!"

Qin Tian said to Xia Nuannuan.

Xia Nuannuan nodded repeatedly and went downstairs with him.

"Nuannuan, we'll go with you too."

Tian Jiajia shouted.

"No need, you guys go back to the classroom!"

Xia Nuannuan turned her head and said.

Tian Jiajia looked at Su Yan with an inquiring gaze.

Su Yan thought for a moment and said: "Listen to her, let's go back to the classroom. We don't know what's going on, and even if there is something, we might not be able to help. With Qin Tian and the others there, it should be fine."
