The tense exam period continued on for two days in Seven High, Friday after the English exam paper, all the students sighed in relief.
Meng Ting packed her things and returned to the classroom, she could see some people smiling and some people frowning.
Zhao Nuan Cheng and Hong Hui were comparing their answers.
“I think you should choose option C, sincere.”
Hong Hui adjusted his glasses: “I chose D.”
They saw Meng Ting come back, Zhao Nuan Cheng’s eyes sparkled: “Ting Ting, what did you pick for the last question?”
Meng Ting thought: “D.”
Hong Hui sighed in relief, Zhao Nuan Cheng looked devastated. Meng Ting smiled and was reminded of the past. It was like this for the year, because of her number 1 good results, all the students would ask her for the answer, it was like the answers she gave was naturally the model answer.
Meng Ting’s English is good, 150 full marks, she could get at least 140 marks, the deductions were mainly from the essay part, either this or a few questions were left blank.
She was always very hardworking, even the two years when she was disfigured, when she had nothing to do, she would take up translating jobs. So coming back alive this time, she didn’t do so badly in exams.
The two guys in the class changed into their sports outfits and excitedly ran out.
Both were Lee Yi Long and Liu Yun that helped her plead so she didn’t have to run.
Zhao Nuan Cheng’s eyes twinkled: “This year’s basketball competition! I think it’s held at LiCai beside us since it’s also the weekend tomorrow, Ting Ting, let’s go watch the competition.”
Meng Ting thought of Jiang Ren’s threatening words and was slightly hesitant, If she had the choice, she would never go.
She didn’t want to be involved with Jiang Ren.
“Li Yun and Li Yi Long from our class are also in the basketball team, let’s go cheer them up.”
Meng Ting kept quiet for a long time, nodded her head after.
She didn’t like owing people, Jiang Ren helped her move the tables, if she really regretted now, she wouldn’t feel at ease.
Zhao Nuan Cheng was delighted: “Let’s go let’s go.”
They walked over to Li Cai and realised there were many students in there.
Days in November, a white fog would form up as you exhaled. The boys in the basketball court were all wearing short sleeves and short pants, sweating buckets.
The girls surrounding were shouting at the top of their lungs: “Class Five, hang in there!”
“Class 12, keep going.:
“Seven High sure wins!”
The most crowded place of all was at the centre of the basketball court.
The screams rose and fell, pushing the competition to its peak.
The scattered cheering could be put together to form a complete word—-Jiang Ren.
Even if Zhao Nuan Cheng wasn’t very fond of Jiang Ren, she couldn’t help but get curious about the situation.
“Jiang Ren is also competing, let’s take a look, Ting Ting.”
However, the boys and girls that surrounded the place already formed 3 circles, they weren’t tall, so they couldn’t even see their shadows.
The court suddenly turned quiet and erupted with an even fierce cheer.
“Ahhhhhh the three-pointer got in!”
Meng Ting’s heart beat faster, after coming back to life for this long, she was surrounded by excited young girls and boys, it was the first time she felt that she was still young at heart.
Zhao Nuan Cheng led her and pushed through the crowd, she finally found a small gap to look at Jiang Ren
He was wearing red sports attire, a black 5 on his chest area.
At the back wrote “Jiang Ren” two words.
That year, his silver hair was soaked with sweat, flowing down to his face naturally, his shirt soaked, he unintentionally wiped the corner of his lips with his thumb. He dribbled and passed the ball in one breath.
He was the tallest guy in the competition, also the most eye-catching.
Even Zhao Nuan Cheng blushed, she was mesmerized by this teen’s manliness.
His silver hair dazzled, his eyes looked manly.
He shot the ball in the hoop and looked at his surroundings, but he didn’t seem to smile. The screaming at the court was getting louder and louder, he signalled a stop gesture, and told the judge: “Let someone else on the court.”
His expression cold, anyone could tell that he wasn’t happy.
Jiang Ren casually took a seat at the substitute area, Lu Yue passed him a bottle of water and a clean towel, her face flushed red: “Jiang Ren, drink some water.”
He looked at her briefly, his gaze turned even colder.
Exams in Seven High had long ended.
She lied to him! Him!
Clenched his teeth, how dare she lie to him!
“Don’t annoy me!”
Lu Yue awkwardly walked away. The sweat-soaked his shirt wet, but he didn’t clean himself up or even have a sip of water.
He Jun Ming with a number 8 on him, asked Fang Tan: “What’s wrong with Boss Ren, wasn’t he fine just now?”
Jiang Ren normally wouldn’t get off the court halfway through the match, with his stamina, he didn’t even need to rest after 2 matches, is he even human?
Fang Tan looked beside “22:8” score, their team was 22, high possibility that they would win: “He’s just in a bad mood.”
The players from Seven High sighed in relief.
Jiang Ren finally got off the match, without mentioning other aspects, his skills were good, even the girls that were cheering them on had switched sides, the whole crowd could only hear Jiang Ren’s name. This demotivated them even more, now with Jiang Ren off the court, they started to aggressively catch up.
The teen with the dark gaze and silver hair, coldly watch the marks turn from 22:8, turn into 24:16.
He Jun Ming got flustered and hurriedly shouted for a temporary break.
He wiped his face and walked towards Jiang Ren: “Boss Ren, you should get on, those bastards are going to overtake us.”
Fang Tan looked towards the crowd, over the waves of people, he caught a glimpse of Meng Ting.
Because of the jam-packed crowd, Zhao Nuan Cheng and her couldn’t get to the front, their faces only occasionally appeared.
These weak girls, they weren’t as tall as the guys in the front row and were blocked completely.
Fang Tan suddenly had a brave idea, he sat down beside Jiang Ren and casually said with a smile: “I saw Meng Ting, there.”
Jiang Ren suddenly looked up.
His gaze located her in the crowd, Zhao Nuan Cheng and she looked miserable, the place was so crowded. Students from a few schools came to spectate, not to even mention the first row, but wanting to get a glimpse of the match is hard enough.
Meng Ting’s glasses were hit by someone in the crowd, she hurriedly held on to her glasses and placed it upright, her panic gaze looked so innocently cute.
There’s a competition happening and she’s busy taking care of those glasses of hers.
But he suddenly smiled.
Jiang Ren walked over, the crowd was looking at him, he crossed half of the court and came beside her.
Meng Ting finally placed her glasses nicely, she felt relieved.
But the surrounding turned quiet.
She looked up and saw Jiang Ren.
She was outside the red fence, he was inside, his smile slightly mischievous: “Can someone buy me a bottle of water and a towel?”
The girls stayed quiet for a moment and started to go crazy the next moment. They all ran towards the small shop behind, the crowd suddenly dispersed. With some offering the item immediately.
He didn’t accept them but took out a red note from his pocket.
Meng Ting had a bad feeling about this, she even thought of turning away to leave.
The teen chuckled: “Hey, student, could you help me?”
He passed the 100 note to her.
Meng Ting looked up at him, his sweat flowing down his face, smiling: “Faster.”
His tone sounded slightly unruly.
She almost cried out of anger, but with so many people’s gaze fixated on her, she didn’t know whether to accept or not too.
More people started to look over, Meng Ting snatched the money in his hands, without a word, she didn’t even bother looking at him and turned away to walk to the small stall.
He stood behind her, seeing her ears turn red, he couldn’t help but smile.
Jiang Ren secured his guards, he turned back and told the coach: “I’ll play the next round.”
He Jun Ming dumbfoundedly took a look at Meng Ting: “That’s Meng Ting with problematic eyes from Seven High.”
Fang Tan raised his eyebrows.
He Han also looked like he realised something incredible: “No way, but that girl has an eye problem right?”
He Jun Ming started to feel delusional, he looked at Lu Yue that was far away with the exact weird expression as him, she looked at a loss. No way, even ditched the beauty Lu Yue but chose to like the girl with the eye problem.
However, there was no time to overthink this, the second half of the match was about to start.
The boys from Seven High spotted Jiang Ren as soon as he came in the court, they were screaming internally, but they were trying to look extremely calm from the outside.
No worries, the score gap has already shortened.
But 2 minutes in the game, their expression turned green. Oh my god, this guy is a total maniac! Did they dig up his ancestor’s grave?
Number 5 from the opposing team! It’s just a friendly basketball match; not a battle!
Excluding penalties
The ball, Seven High couldn’t even touch the ball.
The next half of the game was dominated by Jiang Ren with his dribbling and shots, the girl’s throat was almost gone from all the screaming.
Jiang Ren’s eyes were bright, it was like his gaze dazzled from the light of the stars.
Fang Tan that was resting off-court was paying attention to the crowd, his expression changed.
Meng Ting, she…… never came back.
Until the judge announced the final results, the crowd started to disperse, the smile from Jiang Ren’s face started to disappear.
He Jun Ming after looking at his expression felt scared: “Boss Ren……”
Jiang Ren didn’t say a word and shot the basketball in his hand, the ball hit the sides of the hoop, “Dong”.

LiCai Assembly building.
There was a prank happening at the moment, the road was the one on the way to the shop.
A whole bucket of glucose water was dumped on Shu Lan.
With her messy hair, she ran forward and hit the girl: “Bitch!”
There were a few people on the girl’s side: “What can you do about it, do you feel wronged, Jiang Ren doesn’t like you, so you went on to snatch Zhang Yi Yi’s boyfriend.”
Meng Ting bumped into this scene as she was walking back.
Shu Lan was also fiery and charged forward bravely. She was slapped a few times, her vision blurry, she wanted to kill this group of people.
What if she snatched someone else’s boyfriend?
If the guy wasn’t interested, would he have been swayed with just a few words?
Can’t hold on to your own boyfriend and she’s here to look for trouble!
But still, 1 person couldn’t fight over 5,6 people.
When she looked up as her hair was being pulled, she saw Meng Ting uninterestedly walk past.
“Sis!”
She couldn’t believe it was Meng Ting, in the past, if she got hurt, Meng Ting would be so heartbroken. She strongly believed that Meng Ting would rather get beat to death than let her suffer any injuries.
But she looked extremely calm, and just walked past like everyone else, this person was really Meng Ting!
The group of girls hearing as she called for her sister, also looked over.
A girl with a ponytail, wearing Seven High’s school uniform was holding bottled water and a towel, walking away.
She didn’t care for Shu Lan, they were just like strangers.
Shu Lan’s gaze looked scary.
Why is it!
Why is it that she’s the one to take the beating, Meng Ting could always get what she wanted since young.
She loudly said: “Sis, don’t you care about me anymore?”
She saw as Meng Ting still continued walking, she turned around and told the few girls: “She’s my real sister, she’s for sure going to call for help! You guys are done for!”
The girl froze, her expression went dark: “Stop the girl.”
Meng Ting didn’t know that Shu Lan would act this way, her heart felt, even more, colder towards her. She stopped and looked rather calm.
She knows that she can’t win them in a fight, she pointed towards her own school uniform: “I’m from Seven High, I don’t know her.”
The girl saw that Meng Ting was so quiet and calm, for a moment, she believed her words. Also, it’s obvious there’s something wrong with her eyes, she wouldn’t dare to be nosy: “Just go.”
Shu Lan got so angry, Meng Ting really didn’t care about her, she started to struggle: “You guys don’t believe me? Don’t you all want to know who’s the person in the picture that Jiang Ren saw?”
She pointed: “It’s her! She’s my real sister, she’s just trying to run away and look for help if you guys don’t believe me then just take off her glasses.”
Meng Ting’s expression slightly changed, the girl that led the pack signalled the rest, and the bottle of water was dumped on her.
The air was already chilly cold.
Meng Ting’s glasses was stepped on due to all the pushing, the glucose water flowed down her forehead.
The air turned quiet for a moment.
She didn’t dare to open her eyes, terrified that the water would infect her eyes
In the midst of all the chaos, the few girls suddenly quiet down.
“She……”
“She really is……”
That person in the picture, just all grown up.
Meng Ting thinks that she got so unlucky!
She was both anxious and angry, the towel in her hands was taken by someone and placed over her face, her face was held by someone, carefully wiping off the water droplets on her eyes.
The person’s fingers were distinct, his fingers boiling hot.
In this chilly autumn, his breathing could be heard.
She couldn’t see, but she could hear the group of girls’ stuttering voice: “Jiang……Jiang Ren……”
