Marriage as a Game

Chapter 20: Zhongli and Mr. Shang seem to have an unusual relationship

When it comes to the feud between Class 6 and Class 9, the culprit was initially the girls.

In the senior year of No. 1 Middle School, before Class 9 existed, Class 6 was the most outstanding because that class had a school beauty, Tan Linlin.

When talking about Tan Linlin, we have to mention her brother Tan Yunsong, who is a new generation actor in the Beijing entertainment circle.

Currently, his Weibo fans have exceeded 30 million, but he is the most popular candidate for the future husband among his fans.

When he was a freshman at the Film Academy, he shot to fame with a male singing and dancing group. In addition, the Tan family was considered a big shot in the Beijing business circle and was willing to spend a lot of money to package their son.

So, even though the group disbanded soon after, Tan Yunsong became popular for starring in several campus dramas.

With the help of her brother's halo, Tan Linlin became a celebrity in the middle school. In addition, she had an outstanding appearance, a slim figure, soft and cute voice, and gradually she was called the school belle.

Tan Linlin's beauty dominated the glory of No. 1 Middle School and she was thought to be recorded in the history of No. 1 Middle School. However, she was unexpectedly beaten to pieces by the parachuted Class 9!
There is never a shortage of beauties in Class 9, especially those from wealthy families in the business district. The arrival of these people immediately created a similar personality to Tan Linlin.

As a result, it is inevitable that they will feel awkward when they meet, and sometimes they will even make some sarcastic remarks in secret. Once this happens more and more, head-on conflict is inevitable.

Class 6 used to be proud of being the school beauty class, but now their limelight has been snatched away by Class 9, which has only been here for less than a month.

It would be strange if I wasn’t angry!
That physical education class became the weight that pushed the balance lever to tilt. All we can say is that Shang Jianghan’s charm was too great.

After Tan Linlin failed in her attempt to take over Shang Jianghan, she turned her anger onto Class Nine.

"You say you're not attractive enough and you say others are wild? I've lived for 18 years and I've never seen anything like this! If you fall down and are afraid of being laughed at, just grab a handful of sand as an excuse!"

"But what should we do if they want to compete with us in the monthly exam scores this time?" a girl said weakly.

When it comes to studying, Class 9 instantly falls silent.

"Damn! This is really incomparable! If I had known earlier, I should have made up for it. Then I wouldn't have lost so badly, right?"

Studying is the Achilles' heel of Class Nine, and it’s useless to talk about it all day long.

**
The monthly exam is scheduled for Thursday.

Early Wednesday morning, when Shen Chaoxi came to class, he met Zhongli, who was wearing a school uniform and a ponytail, at the back door of the classroom.

This guy finally returns after disappearing for a week.

"Hi! My deskmate, you look prettier after not seeing me for a few days!" Zhongli greeted Shen Chaoxi when he saw her.

"Not as pretty as you!" Shen Chaoxi jokingly retorted.

The two of them entered the classroom together.

The boys were passing the ball among their seats, occasionally hurting innocent girls. The fight was getting out of hand, but when they saw two people coming in, they immediately straightened their appearance.

Yu Nan was being deliberately pretentious with a few boys, and when she saw that their eyes were glued to certain people, she said something in a sarcastic tone.

"The fox pretends to be the tiger's power!"

Li Jingjing turned her head and took a look. She didn't agree with what her deskmate said, but she didn't dare to refute it.

"The exam is tomorrow. Aren't you just walking on a knife's edge by coming here today?"

Fang Yuan saw Zhongli's face full of disbelief.

Zhongli casually stuffed the limited edition backpack into the table drawer. The crackling sound of the leather hitting the table drawer made Fang Yuan's heart tremble.

What a waste of natural resources!

Zhongli put on some pretentiousness, "Then I still have time to leave now! I'll leave right away, and no one will say they've seen me!"

Knowing that the other party was joking, Fang Yuan rolled his eyes.

"Come on, as soon as you entered the school gate, so many people secretly poked you with their phones. The evidence is all there, and you still want to run away?"

While listening to the two people's jokes, Shen Chaoxi put down his schoolbag, put on his earphones, and listened to the English listening test.

Ten minutes later, as the class bell rang, Bai Jinyuan walked in wearing standard attire and three-centimeter high heels.

The first class was not originally English, because the class teachers had to arrange the examination room later, so she adjusted a class first. When they saw Bai Jinyuan, the noisy voices in the class stopped abruptly like a knife!

The class was as serious and harmonious as usual.

"This exam is a joint exam for nine schools, and the questions are all set by the college entrance examination question-setting team. Everyone must take it seriously!"

Before the get out of class ended, Bai Jinyuan emphasized it again.

"Classmate, tell me something!"

Zhongli handed a bottle of soda water to Shen Chaoxi and moved his little face closer.

Shen Chaoxi smelled a faint scent of perfume, somewhat like the scent of gardenia, sweet and casual, which was very consistent with Zhongli.

Shen Chaoxi gave her a look: If you have something to say, just tell me!

"I haven't reviewed yet. Please remember to take care of me during the exam. My brother said that if I fail the exam, my trip to Australia at the end of the year will be cancelled!"

Shen Chaoxi blinked and spread his shoulders.

"I can't help you!"

"why?"

"The exam was a shuffle of nine classes, not the current seats. I want to take care of you, but I have to know where you are, right?"

"Ah! It's over!" Zhongli looked hopeless.

Shen Chaoxi was amused by her. The other party's pitiful face made her feel that the rejection just now was a bit cruel.

"This isn't just a one-time exam. Just keep working hard next month. I'm counting on you!"

Shen Chaoxi clenched her little pink fist and made a cute expression towards Zhongli. This pose was caught by the person standing at the back door.

Shang Jianghan came here this time on someone's behalf, to ask Zhongli for something.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the back door, he saw a scene of fighting. He frowned and worried for Bai Jinyuan.

This kind of class is really hard to lead!

Then his eyes moved around the classroom and then stopped at the quietest corner near the window.

At this time, the sunlight was shining on the backs of the two people, like a layer of silver powder.

Zhongli was leaning softly on the thin shoulder of the girl who always kept her back straight, and was saying something. From his perspective, the girl turned her head slightly as if to respond, her thick and long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the slightly raised corners of her eyes were tinged with charm.

Some people are like a painting just from their side.

At this moment, the girl suddenly turned her head and made an unnatural but cute expression.

Shang Jianghan was looking at a group of pictures in his mobile phone album before he came in. For some reason he opened the camera and pressed the record button.

Shang Jianghan's arrival immediately quieted down Class Nine. Everyone turned around, with undisguised envy in their eyes.

At this time, Zhong Li was standing in front of Shang Jianghan. They were about a head different in height, with a sweet smile on their faces. The picture of a talented man and a beautiful woman made people imagine.

"I told you, Zhongli and Mr. Shang seem to have a special relationship."

"Of course he is a true prince in the Beijing circle. Would he commit himself to being a middle school teacher?"

The sound of discussion could be heard faintly.

Xiao Xiaoyu had just opened a bag of Lele potato chips and held the open package towards Shen Chaoxi.

Shen Chaoxi would normally wave her hand to refuse, as she didn't have the hobby of eating snacks during class breaks, but for some reason she reached out and pinched out a piece today.

The potatoes are cut into thin slices, processed to be translucent and thin, sprinkled with a little special spices, and have a salty taste that is very tempting.

　Today is March 8th, Women’s Day!
　　Happy holidays, female compatriots!
