Chapter 34 – Your Problems Are My Problems (你的事就是我的事)
With a face filled with good intentions, along with his cheery and sunny appearance, he indeed gave off a kind and caring feeling. If Jing Yunzhao really was anxious to reconcile with the Qiao’s, she would, no doubt, be moved by him.
But the Jiang Xia of the present had yet to become the scheming man he was in her past life. He was still too simple-minded to perceive her true feelings on the matter.
Apologize to Qiao Hongye? Only if her brain was rotting!
“Class Monitor, are you like this to everyone?” Jing Yunzhao started off calmly.
Jiang Xia was a bit surprised. He was blushing slightly, “It’s not like that… It’s just that you look quite troubled, and since we’re going to be desk mates from now on, your problems are my problems. I’ll help you out. Don’t worry…”
As he was talking, he met Jing Yunzhao’s calm eyes.
He suddenly realized that the girl he had originally looked down upon, was actually good-looking. Her skin was really white, giving off a clean feeling. Her temperament was just a bit too cold, unlike the sociable Qiao Hongye. Jing Yunzhao gave off the vibe of a person with too strong of a personality. Girls; They should be timid, lovable, cute, and understanding.
Instead of getting angry, Jing Yunzhao laughed, “So it seems that Class Monitor’s eyes are not functioning properly. I don’t know from where did you see me looking troubled. Furthermore, we’re only desk mates, not a married couple. It’s not good to speak too intimately, right?
They were all 15 to 16-year-old students. When Jiang Xia heard “married couple”, his face instantly turned flushed.
He was also a bit annoyed.
“We’re all classmates…” He attempted to explain.
“Class Monitor, if you like Qiao Hongye from next door so much, then just gather up your courage to woo her. I won’t tell the teachers of your early romance, but, can you please not drag me down with you? Also, I don’t like it when people are too close to me, so I’m asking if you can please not touch anything on my desk in the future and stay on your own desk?” Jing Yunzhao said it straightforwardly. Her voice wasn’t loud, but every word and every sentence attacked Jiang Xia, leaving him dumbfounded.
He was at the age where he loved his reputation. Especially boys like Jiang Xia, after becoming the class monitor, he wanted to stand out amongst the students and be looked at a different light from the rest of the crowd. Maybe even receive more admiring gazes from the girls.
But what did Jing Yunzhao just say? She doesn’t like others pulling her into the mud? She especially doesn’t like others being too close to her?!
Close? Jiang Xiao looked down at his hand. It indeed crossed the line a little, but the only thing he was touching was the corner of a book.
“Ho-how could you be so ungrateful?!” In a moment of anger, Jiang Xia raised his voice.
Even though the classroom was noisy, it was only filled with the students’ whispers. Raising his voice like that, Jiang Xia’s sudden roar was heard clearly.
Jiang Xia was good-looking, his grades were also good, and he was also the class monitor. Thus, he was quite popular with his classmates, especially with girls around this age who liked boys that stood out. So when Jiang Xia exploded, many people assumed Jing Yunzhao did something bad again.
Everyone was startled, and the classroom turned silent.
Jiang Xia didn’t seem to feel the gazes of others. He tried to calm down and put on a face of giving earnest and well-meaning advice, “Jing Yunzhao, we’re all classmates. Why do we need to draw the line so clearly? Plus, as the class monitor, I want to help you. Think about it, you’re only a student. Without the support of your parents, where would you get your spending money? Your dad raised you for so many years and doesn’t ask for anything in return. You can’t just keep fighting with your dad. Look at how obedient Qiao Hongye is, never causing any trouble. You should learn from her. Maybe then, your dad will dote on you…”
