Chapter 3

The school queen was stunned. So was I.

[First time seeing such a handsome male lead who doesn’t fall for the green tea type¹.]

[In Jiang Yi’s world, only the female lead is a soft and cute girl; everyone else is “who the hell are you.”]

[Female lead, quickly claim him; he really loves you so much.]

[The female lead probably can’t sleep at night because of her bright future; she’ll soon be recommended for a top university, have a sports car, a huge apartment, and a monthly income of 100,000 without any side effects, and wake up to a handsome face every day.]

The bullet comments were practically turning me into an embryo.

Jiang Yi impatiently waved his hand at the school queen. “Can you get away from me, please?”

“And don’t keep having your friends bring you to me.”

Jiang Yi’s friend, noticing his impatience, quickly pulled the school queen and walked out of the basketball court. Only Jiang Yi and I were left on the court.

Jiang Yi was so fierce towards the school queen, yet so pitiful and dog-like towards me. Such a huge contrast.

I mumbled softly, “It’s not that I don’t want to take you.”

Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up immediately. He stared at me intently, completely different from how he’d been with the school queen.

“You said you’d carry me to the infirmary.” I gestured with my hand. “You’re 1.9 meters”.”

“I’m 1.58 meters”.”

I glanced at Jiang Yi’s figure sitting on the stands. “How can I carry you?”

“I’d just have to drag you on the ground.”

Jiang Yi coughed heavily at my words. “We already hugged just now.”

“Now I just need you to accompany me to the infirmary.”

The bullet comments were roaring with laughter.

[The female lead has a kind of dry humor about her; is this a common trait among top students?]

[You two did more than just hug, you even kissed.]

[Jiang Yi’s sentence contains two meanings: first, I want to hug my wife; second, I want my wife to take me to the infirmary.]

[I can’t imagine if the school queen said she’d drag Jiang Yi on the ground; she’d probably be beaten until she couldn’t see tomorrow’s sun.]

Jiang Yi sat with his legs splayed on the court bleacher seat, his long legs almost extending past the front of the seat. His legs were longer than my life.

I had long heard of Jiang Yi’s reputation. Girls chasing him formed a line from the classroom to the stairwell when he first entered school. Every time I passed the door of Jiang Yi’s classroom, I would see pretty girls holding gifts and pink envelopes.

But my roommate said Jiang Yi seemed to be allergic to girls. He never accepted gifts or confessions from any girl. He was always cold to all girls. I thought Jiang Yi would be different with pretty girls. But his attitude towards the school queen on the court today proved I was wrong. Jiang Yi seemed uninterested in all girls, but he was different with me.

Somehow, I found myself agreeing. “Okay.”

“I’ll take you.”
