Rose Middle School, sports field
[04:44:44]
Drip...
Drip...
Amid the sound of rain, a set of footsteps and ragged breathing drew closer from afar.
Guo Shuai rushed into the formation on the sports field just in time. Without bothering to wipe the rain from his face, he immediately leaned close to Jiangnan's ear.
He told him Kujo Shiyan's true identity, along with everything else that had happened.
After hearing Little Brother's report, Jiangnan remained calm, merely giving a slight nod.
He wasn't surprised.
He had known this guy was off the moment Lu Shiyan first showed off in front of him.
After warning him, Jiangnan had left him alone. He had merely wanted to use this whetstone.
To temper these little brothers' and sisters' vigilance and ability to adapt.
After all, not long ago, they had merely been a group of students living in an ivory tower.
As for Jiangnan himself...
Heh. Having lived two lives and struggled through the world for so long, what demons and monsters had he not seen?
He had plenty of ways to deal with this kind of self-righteous old schemer.
Well done.
Jiangnan reached out and patted Guo Shuai's still-trembling shoulder.
Though he said nothing, that simple gesture was already the greatest affirmation Guo Shuai could have received.
YES!
Guo Shuai clenched his fist and cheered inwardly. His body, which had nearly been pushed past its limit, was instantly filled with strength.
He puffed out his chest and took his place at the far left of Jiangnan's row. Beside him stood that weepy Cherry Blossom Girl, Hoshino Hikaru.
"Phew..."
Seeing that he had returned safely, Hoshino Hikaru finally let out a breath of relief, a smile of having survived a calamity appearing on his face.
"That's great... I don't have to die?"
