Chapter 42



The life committee member froze for a moment. Seeing that he was puzzled, Jian Shiwu asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

The life committee member wanted to say that he had already told Shen Cheng that he and Jian Shiwu would be on duty together tomorrow, but he didn't expect Jian Shiwu to refuse, but thinking that Jian’s arrangement might be the right one, after all, it seemed better for two transfer students to be on duty together.

With this in mind, the life committee member responded, "It's fine, it's fine."

The committee member, who was unaware of the dangers of life, walked back with the duty roster and stood in front of Shen Cheng. Although everyone was wearing the blue and white school uniform and white shirt, the same clothes on Shen Cheng's body looked noble and elegant.

He was reading a book, his long fingers flipping the pages, giving people a pleasing impression. The life committee member came over and said, "Shen Cheng."

Shen Cheng tilted his face up to look at him, his handsome face was warm and courteous: "Yes?"

Because of this spring-like warm attitude, the life committee member was relieved of a lot of burdens in his heart, thinking that Shen Cheng is still very easy to get along with!

“I just want to tell you that you don't have to clean tomorrow, you can just work with Annie the day after tomorrow."

......

There seemed to be a momentary silence in the air.

The smile on Shen Chen’s face slowly faded away, and when he was looked at by those dark, deep eyes, the committee member felt a sense of dread from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Cheng whispered: "Really?"

The life member was inexplicably weak and said, "Yes."

"Is it your arrangement or ......" Shen Cheng moved his gaze to look at the back of the front row, asking, "What does he mean."

The life committee member couldn't directly say whose idea it was at that time, so he tried to reason: "Jian is also kind, because you transfer students should be more familiar with each other before, and if you work together on day duty, it’s easier...."

Shen Cheng said softly, "I understand."

For some reason, although Shen Cheng was not angry with him, nor did he have any objection to the arrangement, somehow, the life committee member felt that he had messed up, because... for a moment, when Shen Cheng withdrew his gaze from the front row, he seemed to see a touch of emotion like hurt in the eyes of this excellent boy in front of him.

When the life committee member had left, Annie came over and smiled: "Great, we are on duty on the same day, is this what the Chinese call fate?"

Shen Cheng didn't say a word.

Annie could see that he was unhappy and said, "Maybe he's just used to being on duty with his old partner, after all, we're new to the school and don't know each other well, whereas they've been together for a long time and have a friendship."

Shen Cheng's long white hand was holding a pen and writing on the test paper, the tip of the pen swishing across the page, after hearing these words, he paused a little, if we talk about friendship, he and Jian Shiwu's years, from primary school to junior high school, those long years, can not also be considered a long time?

Not familiar?

How could they not be familiar with each other? Could it be that only he cared about those times and Jian Shiwu really didn't care at all, but... Wasn't he the one who once said that he liked him?

As if that wasn't enough, Annie added, "Of course, if it were me I would definitely want to get in touch with my new classmates, after all, it's not like am some kind of beast."

A beast, was Jian that scared of him?

These possibilities fell on his heart like a sharp knife, and actually for a moment caused a dull pain in Shen Cheng's heart.

......

The next day

Lui Heng sat at Jian’s table and complained, "The school is rebuilding the playground recently, so we can't even play ball during recess."

As he sharpened her pencil, Jian Shiwu said, "It can't be helped, the sports day is coming up soon, so it’s the time to repair and maintain the playground, otherwise what will we do for the sports day?"

"That's true."

Lui Heng looked at him, "What event are you going to sign up for?"

Jian thought about it and was in a difficult position: "I'm not very good at other sports, so I'll run at most."

Lui Heng nodded in agreement, "Me too."

The two were talking when the wind started to pick up in the overcast sky outside, the weather forecast in the morning clearly showed no rain, but this time there was already a cold wind blowing, looking out from the first floor you could see the leaves being blown up by the wind, the urgency of the dark clouds was already a mountain rain.

Jiam Shiwu looked back at the last row and muttered, "I wonder if it's going to rain."

Lui Heng felt that he had been a bit distracted lately and didn't seem to be in a very good mood, he said, "What's wrong, you've been a bit strange lately, I heard that you even switched your duty with Shen Cheng, did you have a falling out?"

Jian Shiwu hurriedly said, "No!"

He just, has not fully accepted the appearance of the heroine…just…n fact, these two or three years of separation he would often miss Shen Cheng, he has never separated from Shen Cheng, in his previous life from school to graduation, they were together, from student days to graduation and marriage, and even in the form of a soul, he still drifted by the side Shen Cheng.

It was a very scary thing for someone to suddenly disappear from his side.

In fact, he also really wanted to have a good chat with Shen Cheng, like a normal friend, asking him how he had been over the years, and whether he was still happy in the M country?

But ......

If Shen Cheng is the male lead and Annie is the female lead, shouldn't he, the cannon fodder, stay away altogether.

"Boom."

A lightning bolt crossed the sky, Jian had a headache, there were raindrops clattering down, and in no time the rain curtain covered the sky.

Lui Heng looked at the sky and was slightly surprised: "It's raining so fast?"

Jian Shiwu didn't expect it either, "It's still recess, and Shen Cheng and Annie and the others seem to be sweeping the floor in our class area over in the playground."

Lui Heng said, "Did they bring their umbrellas?"

"...... I don't think so."

In the pounding rain, the leaves swayed in the storm, many students on the road ran with their heads covered, others took shelter under the eaves of the gazebo, Shen Cheng stood leaning against the pillar of the gazebo.

Although Annie felt that this was a rare moment alone with him, but from the day before Shen Cheng's whole air pressure was low, which made her afraid to open her mouth to speak to him at all.

The wind and rain outside seemed to be drifting in with the wind, but he seemed unconcerned, while some waited for others to bring umbrellas and others muttered about when the rain would stop, he stood quietly, as if he was not waiting for anything.

The quiet curtain of rain wove a world of silence for Shen Cheng.

Suddenly, a voice came out, "Shen Cheng!"

A soft, crunchy voice came over the crashing rain. Shen Cheng looked up and saw Jian Shiwu waving at him with a small yellow umbrella by the roadside not far away.

"Boom!"

A muffled thunderstorm exploded in the sky at the right moment, and the boy shivered in fear for a while before trotting towards him.

Shen Cheng looked at him as he approached and frowned, "Why are you coming over?"

Jian Shiwu's body carried a bit of coolness, and he said honestly: "I was afraid you wouldn't be able to go back to class without an umbrella, so I came to pick you up."

Shen Cheng stood on the steps and looked at him, close enough to see Jian Shiwu's much paler face than usual, he always remembered that the boy was afraid of thunderstorms, especially at night when he would have nightmares in his sleep.

Did he dare to come out even in such weather, just because he was worried that he might not have an umbrella?

Lui Heng came over from behind, his voice: "Class representative! We finally found you guys."

Shen Cheng looked at him, "You're both here?"

"How can one umbrella fit all four of us." Lui Heng looked towards the back and said with a smile, "Isn't there still Annie?"

Annie, who had been ignored at the back, was finally remembered but couldn't quite smile as she greeted Lui Heng, "Hello."

Shen Cheng looked at Jian Shiwu's somewhat pale face in this rain and didn't want to chat here, he naturally took Jian Shiwu's umbrella and turned around, "We g back."

?

Annie actually wanted to take an umbrella with Shen Cheng and let the other two use one.

Since she wasn't familiar with Lui Heng, she saw that Shen Cheng was leaving and called out in a low voice, "Shen ......"

Shen Cheng turned to look at her, and saw Annie looking at herself pitifully, he was expressionless: "What's wrong?"

Annie whispered, "I don't know him well..."

Any boy would have been moved by such a pitiful beauty. Shen Cheng stood in place looking at her from a high position, but the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile as he said, "Didn't you say you were willing to have more contact with your new classmates?"

Annie's eyes widened.

Under the gloomy sky, the elegant gentleman with the umbrella was now like an icy demon, his voice was magnetic: "After all, it's not like you’re a beast?"

All the words were exactly the same as she had said that day, making it impossible for Annie to refute them!

Of course what she thought was that Shen Cheng didn't care at all. When the group returned to the class, because it was raining during recess, many students were gathered around the classroom playing a game, a hot competitive hand game at the moment, where they could form teams or PK with their friends.

Jiam Shiwu and Lui Heng also played, and they were invited to come along for a game as soon as they returned.

Qiao An had completely integrated into the class, he practically treated it like his own home and hooked his hand when he saw Shen Cheng coming: "Shen, want to join us for a game?"

Shen Cheng was not interested: "You guys play."

Qiao An knew that Shen Cheng was very good at games and thought that he was too much of a novice: "Just think of it as a friendly game, we are all brothers, playing casually among classmates."

Shen Cheng was indifferent.

Not far away, Jian Shiwu and Lui Heng also came over to join in, the boys liked to have some excitement so they gathered around, this time someone also proposed a bet: "Let's have a 1v1 match, how about the loser brings breakfast for the other party?"

"Ah, breakfast again?"

"Cut the crap and let's do it, shall we?"

"I'm not afraid of you, come on!"

Because they were all playing together, Jian Shiwu and Lui Heng couldn't help but join the bet, and Jian Shiwu drew the next game against Qiao An.

He was actually relieved, this was a domestic game, Qiao An had just transferred over and his skills were unfamiliar, it was still easy to beat him.

However, this breath had not yet been exhaled, when a pair of hands took away Qiao An's equipment. Shen Cheng who said he would not play, sat across the table.

Jian Shiwu had a shock plus a heart attack: "Class representative? Aren't you not playing?"

Shen Cheng face cloudy: "Friendship game between classmates, will casually play."

Jian Shiwu: "......"

How could he believe those words for even a moment.
