Chapter 3 I am for doing good things

  Who is Wang Xiao?

  No student in Experimental Middle School doesn't know him.

  Wang Xiao is handsome and is the boy most talked about behind his back by all the girls.

  Wang Xiao fought fiercely and was known as one of the "Two Kings" of Class 7, along with Ye Tao from Class 5.

  Wang Xiao is very introverted and is said to have some autism, he dislikes contact with people. So the teacher let him sit alone at a table in case of violent incidents.

  Wang Xiao is also one year older than them, and according to rumors, Wang Xiao took a year off during elementary school.

  ……

  Jiang Yu finally spent a whole morning digesting these rumors and had a startling discovery - she seemed to have stirred up trouble.

  "Xiao Yu, what's wrong with you? How could you change seats by yourself? Don't you know everyone is talking about you now? Those girls are almost out of breath because of you!" At noon after school, Yu Shan Shan pulled Jiang Ruo Yu's hand as they walked on the shaded path to the cafeteria.

  "Hey, how am I supposed to know?"

  "Huh?"

  "It's not like that, I just wanted to sit with him at the same table." What else can be said at this time?

  Yu Shan Shan gazed at Jiang Ruyu with eyes shining like little stars: "Xiao Yu, you're really brave! Do you know that all the girls in our class want to sit with him, but no one dares to go over? You're so amazing!"

  "Uh..." Jiang Yu's head lowered again in silence, secretly scolding herself for drawing attention to herself before she had even adapted to the situation.

  "And another thing, you got all the literature questions right today, no wonder you looked so spaced out, you must have stayed up late studying last night, didn't you?"

  Jiang Yu could only nod helplessly.

  What a joke. She was planning how to steal the ancient Qin dynasty jade statue of Wang Yi Shi last night, no way she would be reviewing. But today before the language class, she quickly flipped through the book and roughly read the notes at the bottom of the page, thinking that "even if you sharpen your sword at the last minute, it's still shining". Unexpectedly, her brain somehow got the wrong string, and when the teacher asked questions, she knew everything and answered without a single mistake. Why wasn't she this smart in her previous life?

  Yu Shan said resolutely: "I want to learn from you, I will work hard too! Xiaoyu, this weekend my mom signed me up for a physics tutoring class, you should come join us. Your mom didn't say that you have to be in the top 20 for this mid-term exam? You're so bad at physics, can't even understand what Newton is, you should really study hard."

  "Uh, I'll go home and discuss it with my mom." My parents are running a small business now, they should have the money to pay for her tutoring, right?

  As they spoke, the two had already entered the cafeteria. As in memory, the cafeteria of Experimental Middle School was dimly lit and had poor sanitary conditions. The tables were all old-fashioned eight immortals' tables, and some stools were even lame. Such a cafeteria, the food made is not good either. However, Jiang Yuru remembered that the cafeteria's bai cai rou bao (white vegetable stuffed bun) was not bad, big in size, and the taste was passable, at least better than those stir-fries with no flavor and greasy.

  "Xiao Yu, you go get some side dishes, I'll get the main course. You still follow the usual rules, are six buns enough?"

  "Ah?" Jiang Ruyu black-lined again. Six buns! So she was so fierce, finally found the root of getting fat. Shaking her head like a rattle drum, Jiang Ruyu quickly said: "No need, no need, you just help me buy two."

  Yu Shan Shan tilted her head and blinked, "How can you eat so little? You usually get hungry at 2nd period in the afternoon and still have to attend evening classes, school doesn't end until 6:30. By then, you'll be so hungry that your waist will go straight."

  "Hehe, I'll eat when I'm hungry later. Today, I suddenly don't have much of an appetite." She said she must lose weight and can't eat recklessly without any restraint. Also, her skin needs to be taken care of from now on, scratching her braided hair, this hair also needs to be properly managed.

  "Okay." Yu Xiangxiang nodded and skipped away to buy staple food. Jiang Ruoyu then went aside to stir-fry dishes.

  The two of them chatted and laughed, enjoying a particularly happy lunch. For the first time in many years, Jiang Ruyu felt like she wasn't lonely anymore. Since her parents passed away, she had been diligently studying antiques and researching various imitation techniques, working hard without socializing with others, speaking fewer than ten sentences a day. Now, having this chance again, she gained precious friendship. This time, she was determined to cherish it well.

  As for Yu Xiangxiang's future... She only remembered that Yu Xiangxiang had a car accident on her way to school on a certain day in October, but she couldn't remember the specific date. It didn't matter, since knowing the approximate time was enough to take precautions beforehand. Since she could be reborn, Yu Xiangxiang should also be able to escape her predetermined fate.

  "Xan Xan, what's today's date?"

  "What's wrong on September 29th?"

  "It's nothing, let's go to school together tomorrow morning."

  "Okay, but it's out of your way to come find me, you'll have to go in the opposite direction."

  "It's okay, I'll go to your house to find you. Just leave 5 minutes earlier and consider the extra steps as a way to lose weight." Fortunately, in her past life, she had secretly loved Yu Xuan, so she remembered the location of Yu Shanshan's house very clearly.

  "Alright, I'll wait for you tomorrow morning." Yu Shanshan nodded happily.

  ……

  In the first self-study class in the afternoon, Jiang Ruyu held a math book and frantically recited formulas. She had dropped out of school in her previous life when she was in third grade, so many things that she had learned were now forgotten. Fortunately, her brain was now much smarter than before, otherwise it would not be possible to catch up on so many courses in such a short time.

  Take a look at her new deskmate, Jiang Ruyu had some doubts about the authenticity of the rumors. Wang Xiao was very quiet and it was impossible to see that he was as overbearing as the rumors said, all day she only saw him in two states - either sleeping with his head on the table or drawing. His sketching skills were excellent, and the beautiful short-haired girl in his drawings made her feel that someone who drew so well and was so quiet wouldn't be the "Fighting King" everyone talked about.

  "Jiang, it's raining. Come out for a bit."

  Head teacher Wu Chunying stood at the classroom door and shouted, Jiang Ruoyu's heart immediately thumped. What did Old Wu want with her? Could it be about switching seats? Her mind racing, she walked out of the classroom with her head down, amidst the curious or gloating gazes of her classmates, and followed Old Wu to the stairs, where Jiang Ruoyu once again felt the nervousness of being called out by a teacher for a private scolding.

  "Jiang Ruoyu, why did you change your seat by yourself today?" Wu Chunying asked seriously.

  It's indeed this matter. It's really a case of one misstep leading to eternal regret. But since the teachers have asked me about it, I'll have to think of a way to get through this somehow.

  With a thoughtful expression, Jiang Yu raised her head, blinking her big eyes to reveal a pure and genuine smile, and said solemnly: "Teacher, I think Wang Xiao is too introverted and doesn't have any friends. Teacher once said that people must learn to get along with others in the world, so I want to help Wang Xiao and not let him be lonely, living in his own little world."

  Lao Wu stared at Jiang Ruoyu in surprise, remaining silent for a full three seconds.

  Jiang Yu lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers uneasily. Never mind, if the teacher didn't allow it, she could just switch back. It wasn't like she did it on purpose anyway. Besides, sitting at the same table as Wang Xiao, she still had to prepare herself for being stared at by the girls. Switching back would be better, less trouble.

  Unexpectedly, Wu Chunying didn't ask her to change back, but nodded and said: "It's okay like this. You can help Wang Xiao more, just next time if you have any ideas, discuss with the teacher first, don't take matters into your own hands."

  Jiang Ruyu was stunned. She nodded slightly, still in a daze, and couldn't believe that she had so easily gotten away with secretly switching seats.

  "Alright, you can go back now."

  "Thank you, teacher."

  Squarely, Jiang Yu walked back to her seat with her head down. Old Wu followed behind Jiang Yu into the classroom and said loudly: "Jiang Yu, you need to help Wang Xiao more, got it?"

  Jiang Ruoyu hastily nodded obediently.

  The whole class suddenly realized that she was transferred by Old Wu, and said that a student as honest as Jiang Ruyu would not be so bold.

  She had just sat down when she found Wang Xiao staring at her thoughtfully. Jiang Ruoyu didn't know what was on his mind, so she looked back at him. Wang Xiao was slightly surprised that Jiang Ruoyu was staring at him without looking away, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes. Jiang Ruoyu blinked, even more confused about what Wang Xiao meant, and asked uncertainly, "Is there something?"

  Wang Xiao was taken aback, shook his head and continued drawing with his head down.

  Jiang Yu's mouth twitched, this guy was really strange, he picked up his notebook and seriously studied the plan to cultivate a beautiful girl...
