Volume 1_Chapter 241 Stupid Beauty x Sports School Male God (3)
Qiu Ziang let out an ah, surprised: 'Are there still people allergic to scallions? I've never seen one before.'
Jiang Zhi glanced at him: 'Not having seen doesn't mean they don't exist.'
After saying that she regretted it, damn it, her poisonous-tongue persona from the previous world wouldn't come off, she couldn't help retorting when others spoke.
The atmosphere instantly stalled, Qiu Ziang broke into a sweat, torn between sides, feeling afraid of the girl's sudden hostility.
Had I known, I wouldn't have come out to eat noodles with He Yin; otherwise it wouldn't have been this awkward.
He Yin, accustomed to hardship since childhood, saw her picking through the soup bowl, having scraped clean the layer of scallions in the noodle soup, his tone indifferent.
'If you don't eat scallions, you can tell the boss in advance.'
This was the first thing he said after coming here.
Jiang Zhi picked out the last scallion, didn't even glance at him, picked up her chopsticks and ate the noodles.
Getting no response, He Yin looked at the girl sitting opposite; her face seemed somewhat familiar, yet he couldn't recall where he'd seen her.
Wang Qian said somewhat angrily: 'When Jiang Jiang ordered, she told the boss not to add scallions; it was the boss who forgot to put them in. You know nothing, how can you say such things?'
Hearing others misunderstand Jiang Jiang, Wang Qian's social anxiety vanished, leaving only indignation.
He Yin suddenly paused, his brows furrowing.
After a moment, he said: 'Sorry.'
Jiang Zhi chuckled, lifted her eyes to meet the youth's pair of ink-dark, serene pupils; the faint light above spread across his eyes, like thick ink that couldn't be dissolved or soaked, aloof and unfeeling.
'You're absolutely right; I was wasteful, so no need to apologize.'
He Yin's expression flickered slightly, he stared deeply at her.
Beside him, Qiu Ziang quickly interjected: 'Junior, don't say that; how about this—I'll treat you to this meal.'
Jiang Zhi smiled: 'No need.'
Qiu Ziang felt awful, looking at how sensible the junior was; what's wrong with He Yin today? Why would he say such things to her for no reason?
He usually doesn't speak, but when he does, he ends up offending someone.
He jabbed his elbow at the youth beside him, gesturing for him to speak.
He Yin remained silent.
At that moment, their noodle soups arrived; unlike Jiang Zhi's egg noodle soup, Qiu Ziang ordered beef noodle soup, thick slices of beef laid atop the noodles, delicious to behold. He Yin ordered plain noodle soup, with nothing added besides the noodles.
Noodle soup with beef costs 16 dollars; plain noodle soup without beef costs only 6, the beef adding a full ten dollars.
The villain He Yin, from a poor background, naturally wouldn't order beef noodles.
Jiang Zhi eats slowly, having cultivated the habit of fine chewing and slow swallowing since childhood; her posture is dignified and elegant, merely sitting there like a perfect painting.
Beside her, Wang Qian couldn't help snapping a photo, her eyes almost obsessive.
The goddess eating noodles looks so beautiful!
Most of the patrons in the noodle shop are students; Jiang Zhi is too eye-catching, already several people have asked her for contact information.
Jiang Zhi politely declined each one.
'Sorry, I don't want to date right now.'
One student refused to give up: 'It's fine; when you want to date, you can consider me.'
The girl had a pair of beautiful peach-blossom eyes, eye shape like petals slightly hooked, lashes densely curled like butterfly wings, enchanting the heart; an egg-shaped face with snow-white skin, her beauty rivaling a celestial maiden, dressed in an ordinary sweatshirt and casual pants, yet exuding a brand-name feel.
Her black long hair was tied back, a strand of fine hair slipping to the side of her face, brows and eyes lush yet cool.
'Sorry, I already have someone I like.'
Upon hearing that, the classmate felt like widowed, leaving in a dejected manner.
Qiu Ziang choked on the soup, coughing violently.
He hadn't expected the school belle to be so fixated on He Yin; even after a failed confession, she still hadn't thought of giving up—how devoted! He envied He Yin, sobbing...
Behind them, a few classmates' whispers sounded.
'Do you know who she is? Go ask for her contact!'
'Who is she?'
'Jiang Xi's school belle, Jiang Zhi, the person she likes is the Sports School track-and-field male god He Yin!'
'Holy shit! The hatred of stealing a wife!!'
'Jiang Xi's school belle confessed to him not long ago, yet he rejected her!'
'Even such a beautiful fairy is rejected? He must be gay!'
Every word reached their front table.
He Yin's movement hesitated slightly, then he suddenly lifted his eyes to look toward Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi, full and satisfied, having received the youth's gaze, rested her elbow on the table, propping her chin, curiously asking: 'I'm also curious—are you the same?'
He Yin's fingers gripping the chopsticks tensed, veins bulging along his wrist, his face cold and deep: 'No.'
'Oh.' Jiang Zhi set down her chopsticks, the corners of her mouth curving, then asked: 'Do you have someone you like?'
'None.'
Jiang Zhi stood up, leaned forward toward him: 'Then don't fall for anyone else, okay.'
Before he could avoid it, she added:
'Because someday I will make you like me.'
Having said that, she pulled the dazed Wang Qian and left the noodle shop directly.
Qiu Ziang remained stunned for a long time, turned his head to look at the youth beside him eating normally, the noodles in his mouth losing their flavor.
'He Yin…… you don't even like this?'
She's also beautiful, her personality straightforward, her smile so lovely it's indescribable.
He Yin, is he actually a man?
He Yin didn't lift his eyelids, ate the noodle soup cleanly, stood up and said: "I don't plan to look for a girlfriend."
Qiu Ziang shed tears.
Those struck by drought die of drought, those struck by flood die of flood.
He himself is that dead fish that died of drought.
Luck with girls cannot be envied.
After leaving the noodle shop, Jiang Zhi and Wang Qian took a walk on the school playground to digest.
Some classmates jogged around the playground, while others sat on the steps chatting; the cool summer had not yet faded, the evening breeze was fresh and comfortable, brushing over their faces and making them feel happy.
"Jiang Jiang..." Wang Qian wanted to say something but stopped.
She didn't deny that He Yin was good-looking, but that person was basically blind, and he didn't even like a great girl like Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Zhi said: "Look at me without any filter."
Wang Qian immediately said: "I don't, Jiang Jiang is the prettiest girl I've ever seen."
Jiang Zhi countered: "What if I'm not pretty?"
Wang Qian paused then said: "No matter whether you're pretty or not, I think you look the best!"
Jiang Zhi chuckled: "Hmm."
Her face is so handsome that anyone who sees her will be moved, but the villain He Yin is different.
Because he is face-blind, all the girls in the world look the same to him. When looks don't matter, what matters most is the heart.
Jiang Zhi was quite looking forward to this; it was still the first time she didn't need to rely on her looks to pursue someone.
—
Rehearsal time is getting tighter; Jiang Xi's freshman courses aren't many, but when all kinds of specialized courses are packed together, they become rather numerous.
Today is the last day of rehearsal; tomorrow the Sports School will hold its competition events, so they have to go over early for a run-through.
Jiang Zhi checked the time; she had practiced until 7:30, put on a jacket, put on a mask, and walked along the dimly lit roadside toward that noodle shop.
Aside from that time she went to the noodle shop and exchanged a few words with the villain while sharing a table, she hadn't seen him there in the following days.
Jiang Zhi wasn't in a hurry; there would be plenty of opportunities for them to meet in the future.
Compared to tonight.
