Wang Suizhi’s Favorability Rating was 0, which slightly surprised Jiang Hexing. After all, her face was attractive enough to make even herself swoon, yet Wang Suizhi not only showed no reaction, but didn’t even gain a single point of favorability.
Wang Suizhi truly lived up to his reputation as a legendary figure who, even three years after graduating from Laiga Academy in her previous life, still remained in everyone’s conversations.
And to win over someone like this…
Better to take it slow. What mattered most right now were her enemies.
The clock on the wall pointed to 3:30.
Jiang Hexing temporarily lost interest in Wang Suizhi. She shifted her gaze away from him and took her leave from Wang Ande. She had only just returned to the country today and still needed to purchase many things.
She might as well find a five-star hotel to stay at and enjoy herself properly.
She had suffered too much in her previous life, so after being reborn, she swore that in this life, she would never allow herself to suffer the slightest grievance again.
Even if she needed to earn the favorability of the Children of Fortune to gain Life Span.
“Leaving?”
“Leaving for what? Stay here tonight. Your aunt will be back soon—she can set up a room for you then.”
Wang Ande warmly invited her to stay.
This was within Jiang Hexing’s expectations, but since Wang Suizhi had no favorable impression of her at all, she didn’t plan to stay at the Wang residence.
“No need, Uncle Wang.” Jiang Hexing smiled apologetically. “I still have things to do in a bit, and besides, I’ve already found a place to stay.”
“I see.”
Since Jiang Hexing had said so, Wang Ande, though somewhat regretful, didn’t press her. He merely shot his son a look of disappointment, feeling that the boy was utterly lacking in charm—he couldn’t even convince someone to stay.
A flicker of surprise passed through Wang Suizhi’s dark eyes, but he maintained his polite smile.
“Then let Suizhi walk you out.”
Wang Ande looked at Wang Suizhi. “Suizhi, go see Hexing off.”
Jiang Hexing looked a little embarrassed. “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for Brother Suizhi?”
Wang Ande said, “How could it be? He’s idle anyway.”
Wang Suizhi: …
“I really don’t have anything going on right now. Let’s go.”
He smiled at Jiang Hexing and strode toward the door on his long legs.
Jiang Hexing took her leave from Wang Ande once more, then hurried to catch up.
They didn’t speak a word the entire way.
Jiang Hexing was not one to put herself out. Even though Wang Suizhi was her target, she didn’t want to be too forward. As for Wang Suizhi, needless to say, he had no favorable impression of Jiang Hexing whatsoever—the way he looked at her was no different from how he’d look at any ordinary cat or dog.
The two remained silent until they reached the foot of the mountain, about to part ways, when Wang Suizhi finally deigned to speak.
“Feel free to come by anytime.”
The young man’s thin lips curved upward slightly, his smile polite yet distant.
Jiang Hexing smiled too, pressing her lips together. When she smiled, two shallow dimples appeared by her cheeks, making her look somewhat docile and innocent. “Alright, Brother Suizhi.”
Wang Suizhi nodded at her, then turned and left. The smile on Jiang Hexing’s face vanished without a trace.
Admittedly,
Her visit to Wang Ande this time was merely out of courtesy as a junior, and she hadn’t expected to run into Wang Suizhi. But his reaction did leave her feeling displeased.
Not even a single point of favorability?
How stingy.
Not to mention her looks, just her behavior and mannerisms showed she knew how to conduct herself with proper restraint. This Wang Suizhi—
【Congratulations, Host. Wang Suizhi’s Favorability Rating +1, Life Span +10 days. Current Life Span: 813 days.】
Just as Jiang Hexing was grumbling inwardly, the System’s voice suddenly sounded by her ear. She instinctively turned her head toward Wang Suizhi’s direction, only to see that he had already walked far away.
This Wang Suizhi…
Jiang Hexing let out a heavy breath and decided to pursue him last, or simply not pursue him at all.
And for now—
“Better go look around nearby for some good food places first.”
She could have hot pot tonight.
At the thought of the food about to reach her mouth, Jiang Hexing’s mood instantly brightened.
…
Time flew by, and two days passed in a flash.
During those two days, Jiang Hexing stayed at a hotel and bought some items she would need for living on campus.
She went to handle her enrollment procedures on a weekend afternoon, moved all the things she had bought in, and by Monday, she went straight into the class she was transferring into.
Senior Year, Class Three.
…
“Are you sure she’s this year’s special admission student at Laiga Academy?”
After a day and a half, Li Yuanci’s injuries had mostly healed, and the wounds on his face had recovered quite well too. He was looking in the mirror at this moment, using his hand to adjust his hair.
Beside him were the two youths who had visited his hospital room on Saturday.
“Yes, Brother Yuan.”
“She is one of this year’s special admission students at Laiga Academy. Her name is Jiang Hexing.”
……
“Her name is Jiang Hexing. She’s the special admission student transferring in this time.”
“Jiang Hexing, go ahead and introduce yourself properly.”
Early morning.
Laiga Academy, Senior Year, Class Three.
Jiang Hexing stood on the podium, with Class Three’s homeroom teacher beside her, and below were classmates with dazzled eyes, restless and eager.
“Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Hexing.”
“Today is my first time entering Senior Year, Class Three. I hope you’ll all take care of me from now on.”
She pressed her lips into a smile, and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, making her seem even more full of life.
