After receiving a reply from class teacher Shan Qingrong, Jiang Ning decided not to watch Cui Yu and Pang Jiao run their five thousand meters.
"Let's go home," Jiang Ning said.
Xue Yuantong asked, "School isn't over yet?"
"Then I'll go home by myself." Jiang Ning started walking toward the edge of the school field.
Xue Yuantong really wanted to put her foot down and ditch Jiang Ning, her driver, but she didn't have the nerve. Her mom had gone back to her hometown to help out today, so tonight it would be just her and Jiang Ning.
"Wait for me." Xue Yuantong climbed down from the speech platform and chased after Jiang Ning.
Leaving Li Shi sitting there alone.
Lin Zida and Wang Yong wandered over. "Yo, chatting with Jiang Ning?"
Lin Zida had noticed earlier. He had brought Li Shi out here to watch the commotion, so naturally he had to pay attention to what was going on with her.
"Not Jiang Ning, Xue Yuantong. I only just realized that her family's doing pretty well. She actually has a driver picking her up and dropping her off every day," Li Shi said in surprise.
Being driven to and from school was rare even among the people she knew.
Lin Zida froze when he heard that. Then he said, "The driver she was talking about... wasn't Jiang Ning, was it?"
Li Shi asked back, "Jiang Ning is a driver? Can someone his age even drive?"
Lin Zida wore an odd expression. "He rides a bicycle to school with Xue Yuantong every day."
"If you don't believe me, look over there." Lin Zida pointed a hundred or two hundred meters away.
Li Shi saw Jiang Ning pushing a Mountain Bike, while Xue Yuantong followed closely behind him.
