Chapter 42

~7 min read 1,295 words

Jiang Cheng looked at him, his head full of question marks:???.

The surrounding students all looked over, some male students even held their breath.

Everyone looked at Jiang Cheng, no one spoke, waiting for Jiang Cheng to agree.

Letting Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao be in the same group, the male students felt jealous and disgusted.

The female students felt sour inside; a handsome, good‑singing guy who could also write songs being paired with a girl better than themselves made anyone feel uncomfortable.

But Jiang Cheng was the one Su Manyao designated, so they couldn't say anything.

But now Teacher Chen has arrived, and Teacher Chen has already spoken.

Now we just wait for Jiang Cheng to agree.

Putting Teacher Chen and Professor Su together would make them feel a bit better in their hearts.

After all, Teacher Chen is also a lecturer, not a student! However, just then Jiang Cheng spoke up.

He looked at Chen Hongwei and asked seriously: "Do you and Professor Su have good chemistry?"

Because of Jiang Cheng's seriousness, Chen Hongwei was stunned for a moment.

He also just put on an act in front of the students, really making him not dare to boast seriously before Su Manyao.

So he hesitated and said: "No, but we are same."

Jiang Cheng directly interrupted him, smiling: "No need to deny it; I thought you and Teacher Su had good chemistry."

Chen Hongwei's expression froze.

Jiang Cheng's one sentence shut him down; he had no way to rebut.

The only chance to rebut would be to tell Jiang Cheng that he and Su Manyao really do have good chemistry—but saying that would be nonsense, and it's impossible to say it in front of Su Manyao; it would basically be farting and choking himself.

The surrounding students stared blankly at Jiang Cheng, never expecting his aggressiveness to be so strong!

If it were them, after finally being called out by Professor Su to be in a group, suddenly someone rude would barge in and impose themselves.

If it were them, they wouldn't be happy either, but in such a short time they absolutely couldn't think of a response, let alone counterattack; Chen Hongwei was refuted, and the refutation left no trace, while the opposite side wore a light, calm smile.

Moreover, the other party was just a student.

This made him embarrassed; he turned his head to look at Su Manyao.

But he saw Su Manyao standing nearby, her gaze not on them, as if she hadn't noticed their conversation at all; only her expression now bore a faint smile.

For a moment, Chen Hongwei felt that Su Manyao seemed to be mocking him.

Wanting to die, Chen Hongwei forced out a smile, pointing his finger and saying: "Right, right, right."

Then everyone saw him waving his finger, smiling, walking to the side.

Everyone: Chen Hongwei's embarrassment was written all over his face, so others couldn't say anything either; the more they spoke, the more embarrassed Chen Hongwei would become.

"Shall we start the game then?" Zhouzixin blinked her eyes, looking at everyone and said.

"Start start!"

"Hurry up and start, I can't wait!"

The crowd took advantage of this and started clamoring again.

Only some male students looked at Jiang Cheng with jealousy, muttering in their hearts: "Huh, even Teacher Chen has spoken up; you don't let him come, just wait and see you embarrass yourself later!"

Then the game began; Jiang Cheng's serial number was twelfth, meaning he and Su Manyao wouldn't get their turn until the fourth round.

Most people were looking forward to Su Manyao taking the stage; just watching the Yujie was a pleasure. But they didn't think Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao could have any chemistry; the girls wanted to see a handsome guy, while the guys just wanted to see Jiang Cheng's gestures later and laugh at his embarrassment.

In the first round, the three groups scored a maximum of four points.

The worst group didn't guess a single thing; it was actually the group where the guy first shouted "Jiajia."

They were inevitably mocked.

Mainly because he announced his sovereignty right at the start, making people think their relationship was progressing quickly; but then that jerk wrote "foot odor," acted it out, and had the girls guess; the girls guessed white shoes, flats, sneakers, and finally guessed "loneliness," never saying the two words "foot odor."

After stepping down, they would have to part ways with that jerk! The second group went up, with 120 seconds, and the highest score was also four points.

Soon it was the third group's turn.

Because the game was designed to prevent cheating, males and females were separated; Jiang Cheng glanced at Su Manyao sitting opposite him.

Coincidentally, Su Manyao, sitting on the bench with her legs crossed, her high heels swaying, was also looking at him.

Their eyes met; Su Manyao raised her eyebrows, the aloof Yujie rarely giving Jiang Cheng a playful glance.

But she suddenly seemed to think of something, immediately collected her expression, and glared at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng could only say that the current Yujie's glare had no lethal force at all, and was actually somewhat cute.

The Yujie also seemed to realize this, rolled her eyes, and looked elsewhere.

A few students who noticed this scene were dazed! Their eyes darted back and forth between Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao.

Something's off! Absolutely off! Soon the third group's game began.

In this group, all three were males acting out, while the females did the guessing.

Only see three male students standing aside, gesturing wildly; three female students stood opposite, faces full of doubt and anxiety; Jiang Cheng stood at the side, seeing a male student's card in front of him with the two words "barbecue" written on it.

Then he made a series of gestures.

The female students opposite guessed wildly: "Barbecued meat!"

"No!"

"Squid, we ate squid together yesterday!" Also wrong! "The barbecued meat we ate together, the stove for barbecue!" None of them were correct.

But because only ten seconds remained, there was no time to change to another word.

In the end, the two could only finish regretfully with three points.

That female student ran over to look, saw the male student's board with the two words "barbecue," and stomped her foot in anger!

She had almost guessed everything related to barbecue, yet she didn't split the two words "barbecue"! "We ate squid together; couldn't you have written the two words for squid?"

"And there's tripe; didn't I tell you yesterday I like eating tripe? You could have written tripe as well!"

"You didn't write a single thing you were supposed to, yet you say you understand me—who knows what nonsense barbecue you wrote!"

The male student felt wronged, thinking we were still barbecuing together yesterday; clearly it's you who lack rapport. Jiang Cheng watched, sighing incessantly, thinking this game still has some tricks— the more precise and narrow the nouns you write, the better!

And the highest score of the third group saw a breakthrough progress, six points! This is also because the previous rounds of the game let the later participants see the experience! Soon it was the fourth round's turn, namely Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao's round.

Su Manyao stood up and walked over; she simply took a stance there, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

This is no exaggeration! It's clearly noticeable that Su Manyao is different from all the previous girls! In the earlier rounds, some girls, after their turn, stood like they were being punished; others just stood there in an ordinary, unremarkable way.

Just standing normally, it absolutely doesn't deserve the word 'graceful'.

But Su Manyao is different.
