Chapter 453: Chapter 10: Cannon Fodder Stepsister Doesn’t Want to Die (10)

Seeing her, Jiang Ci couldn’t help but think of that problem, those words, and her diligent appearance as she studied through the night yesterday.

A completely different sight from the past Jiang Lai.

Indeed, he believed that the family he snatched for himself would always remain perfect and happy, but now this happiness was about to be shattered. If he didn’t try to grow, it would truly be a dead end.

Jiang Ci lowered his gaze, hiding his inner madness.

He enjoyed watching those he disliked struggle and save themselves in despair and pain, like a movie with a realistic subject. In the end, he could decide the outcome.

Suddenly, Jiang Lai in his sights was blocked by another figure.

Shen Weizhou somehow got a pink parasol and moved beside Jiang Lai to shield her.

"Here, I bought too many. This works in your favor."

Jiang Lai turned her head and saw several tall and strong boys in the back row, each with a pink parasol in hand, standing out strikingly in the entire lineup.

Before Jiang Lai could speak, Shen Weizhou directly shoved the parasol into her hand, and simultaneously handed her a bottle of water.

As they walked back, the surroundings were filled with teasing and noisy sounds.

"Oh wow... Brother Zhou is so good to his girlfriend! We want water too!"

Shen Weizhou’s pale cheeks flushed with a suspicious redness.

"Get lost, what do you count as?"

As the leader delivered their speech above, the art class was causing a ruckus below, which the homeroom teacher couldn’t control.

Next to them was the key science class, with Qiao Chuweng in the front row watching the recent scene.

Then he turned his face towards Liang Pei standing beside him.

"He’s just a guy, is it worth feeling so upset?"

Liang Pei liked Shen Weizhou, was also Shen Weizhou’s former girlfriend. Initially, she couldn’t tolerate Shen Weizhou having a girlfriend while continuing to attract a stream of girls. Plus, she didn’t want her studies to be affected, so she proactively proposed breaking up.

Only after breaking up did she realize she still liked him.

"If only I could be as carefree as you say. He’s just like that, playful and restless, no matter who he’s with, you can’t tie down his restless heart."

Qiao Chuweng looked at Jiang Lai, holding the parasol in the lineup, with a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes.

"If you like him, just win him back. His current girlfriend isn’t necessarily better than you."

"I don’t know... It seems like he quite likes his current girlfriend."

Qiao Chuweng chuckled.

"You have to believe in yourself. Girls need confidence. Only then will you get what you want, understand?"

Liang Pei couldn’t help but affectionately hug Qiao Chuweng’s arm.

"Why are you so good? You help me so much usually, and now you’re guiding and encouraging me. Thank you, Wen Wen."

Qiao Chuweng smiled slightly.

"We are friends. If I don’t help you, who will I help? Shen Weizhou is just playful. He’s only having fun with his current girlfriend, you know that and that’s enough."

Liang Pei nodded, clenching her fists.

"Right, how would I know if I don’t try? What should I do now though? I don’t know his current girlfriend. She seems pretty too."

"I have the chart of family situations for all students; I remember that girl, Jiang Ci’s sister."

Upon hearing this, Liang Pei suddenly seemed to recall something and quickly asked in a low voice.

"Didn’t Jiang Ci’s mother pass away? Where does he get such a big sister?"

"Stepsister, brought by his stepmother."

Liang Pei pondered.

"Oh, stepsister... is her mom pretty too?"

Qiao Chuweng smiled but said nothing, after a while he commented.

"No matter how old, a girl must rely on herself. Depending on others will make others despise you, so you have nothing to worry about, understand? You’re excellent."

Then he added.

"Don’t worry, I’ll help you."

Speaking, Qiao Chuweng looked again at Jiang Lai, suddenly a pair of dark, bright eyes unexpectedly met his gaze.

It was Jiang Lai; she was also looking over at him.

Qiao Chuweng calmly gave her a gentle smile.

But Jiang Lai glanced at her expressionlessly, then casually shifted her gaze as if observing an ordinary person irrelevant to her.

That look made Qiao Chuweng’s expression slightly darken.

What right did she have to pose like that in front of him?

An art class underachiever, really thinking a pretty face could allow her to act superior in this school?

The opening ceremony ended, and the sports event officially began.

Jiang Lai signed up for the women’s 1500-meter long-distance race, the first women’s event. For this sports event, Jiang Lai specially bought herself a set of sportswear; a light pink short-sleeve tight-fit T-shirt on top and black sport pants below, her long hair tied up tightly at the back, even the stray bangs on her forehead were pinned back to prevent affecting her performance.

The track was crowded with people; after all, it’s the first race event after the opening ceremony, and everyone was excited. Classmates from various classes even made banners to cheer for the athletes.

The art class wouldn’t be outdone, depicting the class’s extravagant and luxurious personas confidently, Tang Song being pulled from the back by Shen Weizhou to help hold the banner.

"I want to hold the banner for my goddess."

"Your goddess’s banner doesn’t lack you, stand properly! Later when Jiang Lai can’t run anymore, you better cheer loudly; did you hear me?"

Tang Song helplessly looked at the line of girls in sportswear, finally pointing at Jiang Lai standing at the outermost front.

"Brother, look at her, does she even need cheering? Just considering her height, she needs two steps for every step she takes. What’s the point?"

Winning the first project award indeed brings honor to the class, but first, one must be self-aware.

Out of fifteen contenders, Jiang Lai was the shortest one, with skinny arms and legs, half a head shorter than Qiao Chuweng beside her.

Classmates didn’t have much hope, gathering around just to enjoy the spectacle.

Only Shen Weizhou was prepared with a towel, water, and a fan.

"Shut up, it’s about to start. I plan to accompany her run; you stand at the finish line and wait for me, understood?"

Jiang Lai got ready, and the moment the referee’s gunshot sounded, she immediately dashed forward.

"Oh not bad, the starting speed is good; she probably won’t be coming in last."

Tang Song’s gaze shifted to Qiao Chuweng, her starting pose remains elegant, her shiny black hair swinging to match the rhythm of her long strides.

Quickly, she caught up with Jiang Lai on the outer circle, even having the energy to look sideways at her with a smile.

"Good luck."

Jiang Lai seriously watched Qiao Chuweng for a moment.

"Thanks for the encouragement."

After saying this, she took a deep breath, pursing her lips to adjust her rhythm, stepping faster and faster.

Ten thousand yuan, ten thousand yuan.

Mentally chanting ten thousand yuan, she left many girls behind one after another.
