Chapter 942: Chapter 547: No Regrets (Part 2)

He corrected, “I’m talking about the liking between people.”

Dan Kaiquan continued, “Even though at that time, I already hated that dog.”

Guo Kunnan was silent.

Dan Kaiquan patted his shoulder, “I’ve been quite ordinary since I was a kid, especially after joining Fourth Middle School.”

“Brother Ma is skilled, Huang Zhongfei is handsome, Jiang Ning can fight. Compared to them, I’m far behind, so I want to do something big for once.”

“At least when I’m old and thinking back, I can brag about what things I did during school!”

Guo Kunnan thought about the scene for tomorrow, “It’s definitely big enough!”

…

Night, River Dam Bungalow.

Jiang Ning and Xue Chuchu were playing a two-player game.

The game was Mario 3D World. Jiang Ning controlled the mushroom kid, while Xue Chuchu chose a princess, conquering difficulties and collecting stars along the way.

After another collaboration, Xue Chuchu couldn’t hold back and grumbled, “Why do you always pick me up?”

Jiang Ning: “Huh? You don’t like it?”

Xue Chuchu: “I want to move by myself.”

“Alright then.” Jiang Ning put her down.

Xue Chuchu controlled the character to go beat up the little monster Chestnut Kid.

Xue Yuantong ran in from outside, unusually quiet for her typically lively self today.

She covered her ear with one hand, her fair and cute little face looking sullen, her usual sweet smile gone.

Xue Chuchu: “Tongtong, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Ning: “Why are you covering your ear?”

Xue Yuantong stated emphatically, “Because this is a demon ear. Once the seal is lifted, it will bring disaster to all living things!”

Xue Chuchu was speechless, a slight smile like delicate silk gently covering her cool face.

Jiang Ning: “Are you sure it wasn’t Aunt Gu twisting it?”

Xue Yuantong, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, said in shame and anger, “This is the ear of the Demon God, she can’t touch it!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Yuantong noticed Chuchu’s strange look, as if she was looking behind her.

Xue Yuantong stiffly turned around and saw her mom’s ‘kind’ face.

Xue Chuchu asked, “Auntie, what did Tongtong do wrong?”

Aunt Gu turned to Chuchu, her tone softening, “She tore a big hole in the mosquito net.”

Hearing this, Xue Chuchu nodded lightly, offering comfort:

“Auntie, the mosquito net can be sewn up, I have some time now, let me sew it for her, it wasn’t on purpose…”

Xue Yuantong’s eyes were filled with gratitude, indeed her kindness to Chuchu wasn’t wasted. At the crucial moment, she’d plead for her!

Just as hope was growing, Aunt Gu said, “She said the mosquito net wasn’t torn by her.”

Xue Chuchu was confused, “Huh? If she didn’t tear it, then why are you…?”

Aunt Gu: “She said it was bitten by mosquitoes.”

…

Thursday afternoon, second period, during break.

The students of Class 8 kept turning their heads, only to see a pile of boxes at the back of the classroom, all gift box style packages, some with bows tied on top.

Yu Wen and Jiang Yanan ran to the back to join the fun, examining the stack of gift boxes:

“Who bought the gifts? So many!”

Guo Kunnan kept the secret for his good brother, but next to him, Cui Yu pointed at Dan Kaiquan.

Jiang Yanan looked at Dan Kaiquan and found that he was dressed clean and handsome today, in a white shirt, black casual pants, with neat hair, neither greasy nor frizzy.

Moreover, he sat there with a straight posture, unusually calm, an admirable aura.

Jiang Yanan was surprised, “Dan Kaiquan, what are you buying gifts for?”

She teased, “Is it for a girl?”

Dan Kaiquan smiled, “You’ll know next period.”

“Alright then.” Jiang Yanan didn’t press further, but her natural curiosity made her quite eager.

Not only Jiang Yanan, but the new class monitor Xin Youling also inquired, as well as Meng Zi Yun and Lu Qiqi, all rather amazed.

Dan Kaiquan remained unshaken, waiting for that moment to come.

The bell rang for class, time ticked by second by second. Guo Kunnan kept glancing back, even though it was his good brother doing big things, he was more excited than his good brother.

After ten minutes, Dan Kaiquan finally stood up.

He glanced at the crowd: “We can set off now.”

His words broke the silence of the classroom, like a drop of cold water falling into hot oil, and it started to boil.

Cui Yu: “I’m coming!”

He ran to the back of the classroom and picked up a small gift box,

At the same time, Meng Gui, Guo Kunnan, Wang Longlong, Ma Shicheng, Huang Yuzhu, Zhang Chi, all stood up.

From the podium, Xin Youling looked a bit bewildered: “What are you doing?”

Huang Zhongfei climbed onto the podium with a test paper in hand, smiling charmingly and gracefully:

“Class monitor, you’re good at physics, please explain this problem to me?”

Xin Youling looked towards the back row; the situation was clearly beyond her control. She gave up on stopping it and replied: “Okay.”

Next door in Class 9, the bear-like Yan Tianpeng burst into Class 8 and carried away the largest gift box.

He walked at the front, followed by Zhang Chi, Guo Kunnan, Meng Gui, Ma Shicheng, Wang Longlong, Huang Yuzhu, Cui Yu, and Dan Kaiquan.

A group of nine, the first eight all held boxes except for Dan Kaiquan in a white shirt, who carried a bag.

They descended from Building 3, crossed the wide square, like a long dragon, flying towards Building 2.

The students of Class 8, stirred by the commotion earlier, couldn’t sit still. Taking advantage of Xin Youling being held off by Huang Zhongfei, Jiang Yanan grabbed Shen Qing’e and jogged towards the corridor outside.

Watching the fun is human nature; many students ran to the corridor, exclaiming one after another.

Hearing the commotion, Class 9 next door also came out to watch the fun. Soon the corridor was crowded with students, densely packed, with a cacophony of voices.

Dan Kaiquan carried the bag, and the sunset was extraordinarily beautiful, not only painting the sky in gold but also the ground beneath their feet seemed gilded with gold.

“The weather is really nice today!” Wang Longlong exclaimed.

Guo Kunnan: “Isn’t it? Heaven is on our side, our mission is guaranteed to succeed!”

“Haha!” Cui Yu laughed heartily.

The group fell silent again.

Dan Kaiquan focused on walking forward, behind him, the teaching building echoed with various calls, entering his ears, making his head feel numb.

In this short journey, he thought about many things.

From childhood till now, he had never caused such a commotion as today.

“Is this the feeling of being noticed?” Dan Kaiquan thought to himself.

He also recalled his earlier uncertainty, asking Brother Ma if it would succeed.

Ma Shicheng said: “Can’t tell, let’s see what fate brings.”

But Dan Kaiquan didn’t believe in fate.

Watching the approaching Building 2, the calls from behind not only didn’t get smaller, but grew louder.

Dan Kaiquan didn’t need to turn around to know everyone’s reactions.

He wore a faint smile and suddenly a thought popped into his head: “What is Bai Yuxia doing?”

The thought just emerged when Cui Yu’s shout came, “Everyone watch the stairs, watch your step.”

“Don’t worry!”

…

The Class 8 classroom seemed empty, most students had gone out to watch the spectacle.

The only ones left were Xin Youling and Huang Zhongfei on the podium, Chen Qian working on questions, and Shang Caiwei sitting in a daze.

And, Bai Yuxia, as picturesque as a poem.

The calls outside grew even louder, someone shouted, “They’re going upstairs, they’re going upstairs!”

“Let’s follow and see!”

Accompanied by chaotic footsteps.

Bai Yuxia turned to check on Tongtong, and as expected, she was still sound asleep.

By the window, Jiang Ning was watching outside.

The figures in the corridor moved, a beam of sunlight cut through the middle, landing on Jiang Ning’s face, resting on his eyelashes and eyes. His eyes, bright and clear, untainted by a speck of dust under the sunlight.

Perhaps her gaze was too blatant, Jiang Ning turned his head slightly puzzled, meeting Bai Yuxia’s eyes.

Bai Yuxia seemed to be warmed by the sunlight, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Jiang Ning spoke: “Aren’t you going out to take a look?”

Bai Yuxia appeared serene and indifferent, as if nothing could disturb her: “Nothing worth seeing.”
