Chapter 568: Chapter 366 Combination Mud Truck!
Duan Shigang didn’t tangle with Pang Jiao; he left with a stern face.
As he retreated, a sigh spread among the surrounding students.
Cui Yu said, "This transfer student, such a softie!"
Guo Kunnan added, "Of course, Wu Xiaoqi is so brave, and yet he wouldn’t dare to make a move?"
Passing by the podium, Duan Shigang saw the girl who dazzled him by the window to the south, talking back to the boys.
Duan Shigang remembered clearly, that boy was Jiang Ning, whom he had encountered outdoors the day before yesterday.
At that time, Duan Shigang was quite annoyed with him, yet now Jiang Ning was chatting and laughing intimately with two beautiful girls.
As Duan Shigang exited the classroom door, he turned his head towards the middle of the classroom and saw a slightly handsome boy named Dong Qingfeng talking with several beautiful girls.
At that moment, Duan Shigang felt bitter.
Compared to them, how much of a failure was he?
No one cared, no one asked, he was just bullied.
"Southern village children mock me for being old and weak..."
Even Deng Xiang, such a good brother, was now openly not siding with him.
He felt a sense of worlds changing; Duan Shigang’s steps were slow, as if carrying the ambiance of a hero in his twilight years.
He was once a king, and later he had handed over his kingdom.
...
"Jiang Ning, what do you think about the transfer student?" Chen Siyu asked, as the new student added quite a bit of gossip to their ordinary school life.
Xue Yuantong said, "I was with Jiang Ning playing outside over the weekend, and saw this guy. He can actually ride a motorcycle."
Chen Siyu puzzled, "Is riding a motorcycle that special?" n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
"Do you know how to ride one?" Xue Yuantong asked.
"No."
"See, it’s obviously special." Xue Yuantong longed; she really wanted to ride a motorcycle, throttle it to the max, and speed along the river dam with Jiang Ning begging her to slow down.
Thinking of such a mighty scene, Xue Yuantong was arrogantly proud, ’Hahaha Jiang Ning, now you know what I’m capable of, right?’
Chen Siyu glanced at Jiang Ning with a look that said, ’Tongtong is giggling foolishly again.’
Jiang Ning gently shook his head, indicating it was no trouble.
Chen Siyu keenly picked up on a clue, "Did you guys run into Duan Shigang while fishing outdoors?"
Xue Yuantong snapped back to reality, "Yeah, we were catching fish in the creek together, and they didn’t catch as many as Jiang Ning!"
"Is fishing fun?" Chen Siyu shifted her interest from the transfer student to ask about that.
"Super fun, I caught several, don’t believe me? Ask Jiang Ning!" Xue Yuantong boasted about her catch.
Jiang Ning generously confirmed, "Indeed."
Xue Yuantong was overjoyed.
Chen Siyu, imagining the fishing scene, was interested, "Next time you go fishing, can you include us? I’d really like to try."
Jiang Ning considered it, "Probably not, the creek is almost out of fish."
And with this incident, the news of fish in the creek would definitely be spread by Duan Shigang.
By then, the local residents will definitely come out with electric fishing gear or use nets.
Hearing his response, Chen Siyu was disappointed, "Okay."
It seemed like there wouldn’t be many opportunities.
While she was feeling down, Xue Yuantong furrowed her brows in thought, then suddenly her bright eyes lit up, excitedly proposing:
"You can come when the big floods hit during summer vacation; I’ll take you fishing!"
’Big floods’ refer to floods.
Yuzhou City, located in the middle of Hui Province, is prone to extreme weather each summer vacation period, enduring prolonged bouts of heavy rain, lasting several to many hours.
This results in a significant rise in the level of rivers, reservoirs, and ditches, filling the usual fields entirely with water, sometimes rising close to the knee, even the water level on main roads can easily submerge the ankles.
During this time, many countryside folks, apart from worrying about their crops, focus on fishing.
Of course, though Yuzhou does experience floods, they aren’t severe enough to be considered disasters.
Hearing this, Chen Siyu quickly agreed, "Okay, when the big floods hit, my sister and I will come to the river dam to find you!"
Since they were city folks, they got bored during the floods and would rather run around and play in the fields.
"Right, Jiang Ning is especially good at predicting the weather. When it’s about to flood, you guys come over in advance!" Xue Yuantong decided.
Chen Siyu began to dream of the fun scenarios during the flooding.
She didn’t forget her desk mate: "Xiaxia, shall we find Jiang Ning together then?"
Bai Yuxia, maintaining her calm demeanor, hesitated; she considered things more comprehensively, unlike Chen Siyu’s simplicity, as she wondered about Xue Yuantong’s family’s opinion.
Proudly, Xue Yuantong said, "You all come over, and stay the night in Jiang Ning’s room, and we can all play video games!"
"This...?" Bai Yuxia’s fair, gentle face showed an expression of speechlessness.
...
Dong Qingfeng said, "Qing E, is he the person you encountered over the weekend?"
Shen Qing’e gently nodded.
She didn’t divulge the foolish things Duan Shigang had done, like riding a motorcycle over someone’s wheat; speaking of such deeds might intrigue others for a moment, but if the person involved heard about it, it wouldn’t be good in the end.
Shen Qing’e was very keen on keeping peace, recalling an incident in junior high where a classmate escalated a conflict by badmouthing someone, which ended up getting back to the person involved.
Since arriving at Fourth Middle School, she has been careful to avoid such situations.
Jiang Yanan said, "Tomato fish fillets, are they really that tasty?"
Shen Qing’e had discussed the day’s events in a small group chat with a few of her sisters after returning home that day – such experiences were quite novel for the city-raised Jiang Yanan.
Hearing about tomato fish fillets, Shen Qing’e remembered the experience from that day, and couldn’t help but salivate.
The day she had returned home, Jiang Junlong had his Aunt cook tomato fish fillets; the new dish was highly praised by the great uncle, although Jiang Junlong claimed it wasn’t tasty.
Shen Qing’e felt the same.
Aunt, not believing them, thought they only found the dish tasty because they were hungry.
But the great uncle recalled the last time Jiang Ning had brought over a watermelon; its taste was absolutely incredible, the best he had ever had in his life.
