Chen Ziwu made no effort to hide his hostility toward him, and Jiang Wangshu naturally noticed it.
He acutely sensed that Chen Ziwu's malice was not as pure as that of others.
It was as if...
Jimo interrupted the two of them as they locked gazes, saying to Jiang Wangshu, "Xiao Shu, you go to class first, I'll come look for you later."
"Okay." Jiang Wangshu lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions within them.
After the person left, Chen Ziwu looked at Jiang Wangshu's retreating figure and sneered, "What on earth do you see in this special-class student?"
Jimo paused and changed the subject: "Let's go, aren't you here to sign the contract?"
Chen Ziwu let out a cold snort: "I've waited for you so long, a little longer doesn't matter. I asked why you were nowhere to be found early in the morning, what did you guys go do."
Jimo: "Went to pick him up."
Even though Chen Ziwu knew their relationship was good, he still felt somewhat unhappy inside. The words that came out of his mouth lacked the right flavor, his tone sarcastic: "He's clever enough, knowing how to cling to you and not let go. It really makes one sick to look at."
Jimo cast a glance at him with coldness in his gaze: "Please don't casually evaluate my friend."
Chen Ziwu opened his mouth, failing to say anything, and finally followed Jimo upstairs with an irritated look on his face.
"Fine, I really am asking for suffering!"
The contract was provided by Chen Ziwu, and the detailed clauses on it were all very professional. Jimo sat at the desk and read through every single clause very carefully, finally signing his name.
The two of them thus officially partnered up.
It was in duplicate, and after signing, Chen Ziwu still wandered all around Jimo's dorm, looking left and right, with not the slightest intention of leaving.
Jimo took out a book, ignored him, and started reading on his own: "There's water in the fridge, if you want a drink you can go get one."
Chen Ziwu stood on no ceremony whatsoever, opened it to grab a bottle of water, tilted his head back to take a drink, and critiqued: "This place of yours is quite small, yet you put two beds in it, isn't it cramped?"
Jimo: "Mn, it's alright."
Turning his head to see Jimo engrossed in reading his book and not really engaging him, Chen Ziwu found himself lacking in conversational partners; after staying for only a short while, he left.
As the deadline approached, Jimo handed in his assignment, along with a PPT presentation that the professor scheduled for next week's class.
Jimo had prepared it long ago, originally planning to use this period to review for the medical school exams, but the medical school issued another notice delaying the department-transfer exams.
He turned it over in his mind, and surprisingly there were no very urgent matters to handle right now.
Suddenly he had a week of vacation.
Zhuang Zhe packed his luggage early on, lugging a huge suitcase and saying he was going back, while also asking if Jimo wanted to go home with him to play.
Jimo said he had things to do and refused.
After Zhuang Zhe left, the dorm became much quieter; in the past, if he were there, the sound of hitting keyboard keys while playing games would never have stopped.
With nothing to do and his lower back mostly recovered, Jimo bought two dumbbells, practiced in the dorm when he had free time, did push-ups, and started rehabilitation. He listed out a fitness schedule for himself, then trained according to the plan on the sheet.
His body needed an adaptation period, so at the beginning Jimo did not apply heavy intensity, afraid this body couldn't take it.
Even with the lowered intensity, he still overestimated this body.
Before tossing and turning much, with the plan only halfway through, Jimo was already panting heavily, and after stopping, his limbs were still continually trembling while sweat rolled down his cheeks and wet the floor beneath him.
He lay on the ground, drained of strength, to ease up for quite a while before crawling over to take a shower.
There was no help for it, he could only reformulate his training schedule, drawing and crossing out on the chart to lower the training intensity and extend the rehabilitation cycle.
After finishing this, Jimo wiped his hair, fished out his phone, and went on the forum.
The popular posts above were finally not about those petty disputes between the special-class student and the student union.
The trending post had an ambiguous title: [That person is finally coming back!]
Jimo clicked into it.
[According to the grapevine, Song Wenxi is coming back to Easton after a while! Previously he only studied for half a semester before going abroad as an exchange student.]
[True or false? Is your grapevine reliable, OP? Who did you hear it from? Didn't rumors fly last time that he was coming back, only for half a year to pass since then.]
[100% true! I'm not in a convenient position to state the specific source, you guys can just wait; in a while you'll be able to see him at the college.]
[Word is, besides those three, there's also one F4 member who's very mysterious. Does anyone know what he went to do? Studying abroad too?]
[I know this! The last F4 member, Ji Yu, I heard he's been taking over company matters all along and hasn't had time to come to the college for classes. He came and showed his face briefly during the freshman orientation ceremony before leaving again shortly after. This one is even more mysterious, almost no one in the college has seen him.]
Song Wenxi? Ji Yu?
Indeed, they were the last two F4 members, correct. Were they coming back already, just like that?
In the original novel, Ji Yu only appeared close to graduation. It was said he was taking over the company, but in reality Jimo knew that Ji Yu's health was not too good, and he had undergone a major surgery, resting for several years before recovering.
Song Wenxi indeed also returned around this time node.
Song Wenxi was neither as icy and aloof as Ke Yueyi, acting as if he lacked interest in everything, nor was he like He Zhenglin, who was flippant and irresponsible while doing things of an extremely malicious nature, specializing in teasing the male lead for amusement.
Several crises of the male lead's were initiated by He Zhenglin.
Perhaps because he was not an only child in his family, Song Wenxi had been more self-reliant since childhood, and in terms of social savvy, he was far superior to the other two. His conduct in society gave people the feeling of a spring breeze, easily generating favorable impressions.
Simply put, he could be described with one word: gentle.
No wonder the male lead would fall for him first.
In the original novel, Song Wenxi appeared third, but after spending some time together, Jiang Wangshu's feelings unconsciously tilted toward him, slowly sinking into Song Wenxi's gentleness.
During that period, the relationships among F4 all became somewhat subtle.
The information yield from the forum this time was not small, and Jimo continued reading downward.
[Word is He Zhenglin's birthday is coming up soon, right? If Song Wenxi goes this time it'll be even more exciting. Even though I can't go, judging from last year's sideline viewing, the gossip during that period was enough to stuff yourself full, so I'm honestly looking forward to it a bit.]
[Wonder what games they'll play this year again. Logically speaking, the roster should be more or less finalized by this time, has anyone among you received an invitation?]
[Me! Self-exposing here, I heard quite a few people are being invited this time, many of them big celebrities on our forum oh.]
[Frog-grab, is there any way to score me a pass too? I'm willing to pay a high price!]
Seeing this, Jimo frowned. Big celebrities on the forum? Jimo thought of Jiang Wangshu first, a permanent resident on the trending boards.
At that moment, a vague sense of unease stirred in his heart.
He Zhenglin loved bustle and noise, and his birthday would not lack people providing him with entertainment. Judging by what was said on the forum, last year's birthday banquet seemed quite exciting?
In the original novel, Jiang Wangshu was brought by Ke Yueyi. At this time, their relationship was considered fairly decent, much better than the early stage. No matter what, he would protect the person Ke Yueyi brought to some extent.
But if he were directly invited in He Zhenglin's name now, I'm afraid it would only be pure malice.
