Chapter 242: Volume 1, Chapter 242: Stupid Beauty x Sports School Male God (4)
The noodle shop was still as bustling as ever; besides the fully occupied seats, several people were standing outside waiting for a vacancy.
Jiang Zhi struggled into the shop, her gaze habitually sweeping over the seats, and indeed she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
This time, the villain He Yin had come alone to eat noodles; the table could seat four, but only three were occupied, with He Yin sitting on the outer side, leaving an empty spot innermost.
Perhaps affected by his aura, no one coming or going wanted to sit in that innermost empty seat, giving Jiang Zhi an opportunity.
She stepped forward and stopped beside the buzz-cut youth; the surroundings were noisy, afraid he wouldn't hear, Jiang Zhi leaned in and asked, "May I sit inside?"
He Yin's motion paused; hearing the familiar voice, he almost instantly recalled someone, without lifting his eyes, his slender body leaned back slightly, giving her space to move in.
As the girl passed sideways, her black long straight hair tied up swayed with her motion, unintentionally brushing his forehead; a faint orchid scent lingered at her nose, seeming to seep into his limbs, and the close proximity left him nowhere to escape.
But after just a few seconds, He Yin felt the time dragging.
His fingers gripping the chopsticks tightened slowly; he tried hard to ignore the strange feeling, lowered his head, and continued eating noodles.
Jiang Zhi as usual ordered a bowl of egg noodle soup; this time, in front of the buzz-cut youth, she told the boss twice not to add scallions.
The boss was already overwhelmed, not only handling the shop's customers but also receiving over ten delivery orders; he gave a perfunctory response and left.
Jiang Zhi sat in the inner seat, took a pair of chopsticks from the holder, carefully wiped them with a disinfectant wipe from her bag, then wiped the tabletop in front of her as well.
The two male students seated opposite stared blankly, mainly because they had never seen someone so meticulous.
Jiang Zhi ignored their gazes, one hand squeezing her sore legs from dance practice, while she watched the earnestly eating youth beside her.
Perhaps because her gaze was too focused, He Yin turned his head to look at her without looking away.
The youth's features were sharp and handsome, his brows and eyes hinting at a hint of danger, his slightly dark skin and shaved buzz cut making him look unapproachable, causing people to instinctively feel reluctant.
But Jiang Zhi's eyes showed no retreat whatsoever, completely lacking any nervousness of being caught sneaking a glance, she met his gaze openly and confidently.
"Good evening." Her voice was soft, lowered and dissipated in the noisy shop.
He Yin sitting beside heard it clearly; first he averted his gaze, his tone cold and indifferent.
"Good evening."
Upon hearing his reply, Jiang Zhi's slender brows slightly lifted; she said nothing more, her eyes fixed on him without blinking, smiling.
The two male students in front, like light bulbs, found the food tasteless, unwilling to stay and eat dog food, they all got up and left.
Only the two of them remained at this table.
He Yin treated her gaze as if it weren't there, focusing on eating his noodles.
Soon her noodle soup arrived, with a layer of scallions floating on top, making the noodles look more appetizing.
Jiang Zhi directly pushed that bowl of noodles toward him, saying, "See, I told you it wouldn't work."
When ordering, the girl told the boss twice not to add scallions on purpose, just so he could hear.
But when the noodle soup arrived, it still had scallions.
After He Yin finished the last bite in his bowl, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, glanced lightly at the pushed-over bowl, and said, "I'll order you another bowl."
Worried she might misunderstand, he added, "It's on me."
"No need." Jiang Zhi shook her head, handed him a pair of chopsticks, "If you can pick out the scallions for me, I'll forgive you for that night."
Saying this, she lifted her arm and waved it in front of him, her tone tinged with softness: "I've been practicing dance all day, my arms are tired."
He Yin lifted his eyelids; a flash of bewilderment appeared in his dark pupils, and he remained motionless for a moment.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhi was about to take back the chopsticks: "If you can't, then forget it."
He Yin took the chopsticks from her hand, his eyelids lowered, "Okay."
Jiang Zhi laid a clean white napkin beside the soup bowl.
He Yin didn't put the scallions on the napkin but into his own bowl; he picked them out quickly, finishing in a few minutes.
Only the bowl of thick broth remained; he lifted it and drank it all in one gulp.
Jiang Zhi only heard a gurgling sound; when she looked up, the youth had drunk even the broth dry, stood up, and prepared to leave.
Jiang Zhi called out to him.
"He Yin."
He Yin looked at her: "What?"
Jiang Zhi's eyes glistened with sparkling stars, dazzling and eye-catching: "Nothing, I just wanted to thank you."
He Yin: "No thanks."
Having said that, his tall, slender back departed without mercy.
Jiang Zhi's smile faded, she opened the favorability value.
【Villain He Yin Favorability 2 points】
Two meetings only added two points, showing how difficult it is to win him over.
Early the next morning, Jiang Zhi was awakened by her six o'clock alarm, half-asleep, she got out of bed.
Her roommate Kong Jingwei, who was sitting on the balcony reciting, heard a slight sound, turned back and saw her, somewhat surprised: "Jiang Jiang, why are you up so early?"
Jiang Zhi, not wanting to disturb the roommates still sleeping inside, took her cosmetics to the balcony to do her makeup, weakly saying, "Teacher Zuo told me to be there at seven."
She is the lead dancer, position being most important, so before the performance starts at noon today, she must arrive early to rehearse.
Kong Jingwei sympathized: "Keep it up! I will definitely come watch your performance."
Saying this, she thought of something and laughed: "Don't worry, everyone in our dorm has agreed; when you perform, we'll all cheer you on!"
Jiang Zhi: "It's time to leave this planet."
She simply did her makeup, packed her things, and left the dormitory.
First she went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast to fill her stomach, then headed to the dance studio.
Teacher Zuo had also just arrived, was holding the keys to open the door, heard footsteps and looked up at her.
"You're here."
Jiang Zhi handed her breakfast.
Teacher Zuo exclaimed, "You bought this for me?"
Jiang Zhi nodded, "Yes, Teacher Zuo."
Teacher Zuo thanked her, "Trying to curry favor with the teacher is useless; anyway, I'll take charge of your dance from now on."
Jiang Zhi put on a painful mask.
After practicing with the team for a while, Teacher Zuo led them to the neighboring Sports School for a rehearsal.
The Sports School and Jiang Xi are close, but walking there actually takes over half an hour.
Upon entering the gate of the Sports Institute, they received glances from passing students all along the way.
Mainly because these few Jiang Xi girls have great figures, high looks, and an elegant, otherworldly aura that makes it hard to look away.
"Who are they? They don't look like students from our Sports School."
"The badge on their clothes is from neighboring Jiang Xi; I heard there's a track meet at noon, so they're probably here to perform the opening dance."
"They look really nice; I wish they were my girlfriend."
Dream on.
As Jiang Zhi, walking last, passed by, a few classmates recognized her, took out their phones to secretly snap a photo, and posted it on the forum.
