Wednesday afternoon, Nanhong Road.

The black Mercedes with a prominent emblem was smoothly driving, while the white Toyota Prado on the left tried to squeeze in, but Shang Zhengyu stepped on the accelerator to block the gap.

The Toyota Prado’s attempt to cut in failed, it sped up again to catch up and parallel with the Mercedes, the window rolled down, revealing a face full of harsh lines.

Shang Zhengyu turned his face, directly facing the fierce expression.

Shang Zhengyu’s gaze was intimidating, given his near-professional level of martial arts skills, if it were not for legal constraints, he could cripple this big man with two or three punches.

The driver of the Toyota Prado, seeing this person looked fearless and was driving a Mercedes S worth more than one hundred thousand, didn’t force him to stop and drove away straightforwardly.

"Brother, sometimes you can let him go." Sang Caiwei whispered from the back seat.

Hearing his sister’s voice, Shang Zhengyu’s expression softened: "When it’s appropriate to let go, I will let go."

Sang Caiwei didn’t say anything further; her father once said that it was because of her brother’s combative personality that he could build such a big company and make so much money.

Sang Caiwei: "No need to drive so fast, we’re already late."

"Still blaming me?" Shang Zhengyu laughed, today his sister was training at the club, the game session dragged on for too long, so he specially waited until she finished before reminding her about school.

Sang Caiwei: "No."

"Really no?" Seeing that his sister didn’t respond, Shang Zhengyu continued driving, when reaching the turning point of Nanhong Road, he turned on the signal light, making the "tick-tock" signal noise.

However, when Shang Zhengyu turned off the signal light, the "tick-tock" noise continued persistently.

Shang Zhengyu was puzzled, looking left and right, still unable to figure out what was broken.

Frowning, unhappy: "What a lousy Mercedes, the brakes are noisy, the gearbox is noisy, and now even the signal light is always noisy? This is the quality they sold to me."

"In the future, the company will never procure vehicles from Mercedes again!" Shang Zhengyu was somewhat angry but felt powerless.

"Moreover, every time when I pick you up, there’s this noise, really doesn’t give me any face." Saying this, he turned around.

Just then he caught sight of his sister’s face, Sang Caiwei, making "tick-tock" noises with her mouth, apparently not expecting her brother to turn around, Sang Caiwei suddenly froze.

She shut her mouth, and the noise disappeared.

Shang Zhengyu: "?"

...

At the school gate, the security guard stubbornly stood his ground, but he didn’t possess the rigidity he appeared to have; sometimes his resolve wavered.

For example, just now, he received a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and let the Mercedes driver’s sister enter the campus.

And now, he could finally stand firm once again!

A meticulously dressed girl hurried to the entrance, the guard immediately shouted: "What time is it now, why are you late, what’s your homeroom teacher’s name!"

His aura was domineering, terrifying indeed.

Ordinary students looking at him would probably be scared into a halt, trembling like a quail.

However, Shang Wanqing lightly hopped in front of the guard, she gently tucked her hair and sweetly said: "Brother, you look so handsome in this outfit~"

The security guard toned down his sternness: "Why are you late?"

Shang Wanqing lifted her face, her eyes soft: "I was working part-time carrying plates at a restaurant at noon, the boss wouldn’t allow me to leave early, insisted on having a meeting... Brother, could you not tell my homeroom teacher?"

The guard, recalling his own experiences of being tormented by his boss, instantly empathized, moreover, this girl seemed so pitiful, sigh!

"I may only be a security guard, but I’m willing to do my bit for this unfair world!"

"Alright, don’t be late next time, go on in!" The guard opened the small gate. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Shang Wanqing hurriedly thanked him: "You’re the most handsome security guard I’ve ever seen!"

The guard couldn’t suppress his grin; is there anything more exhilarating for a man than being called handsome by a young girl?

After sending off a girl with normal aesthetics, the guard resumed his vigil at the school gate.

The scene earlier was witnessed by Pang Jiao and Li Shengnan, both were late today too and were worried about getting their names written down, now suddenly discovering a clever trick.

Pang Jiao rushed forward like a small tank, rumbling before the guard, shouted coquettishly:

"Giegie! You really look...

The guard retreated two steps away from the spray, repeatedly warning: "Don’t come any closer!"

"Who’s your homeroom teacher, tell me right now!"

Five minutes later, Shan Qingrong appeared at the school gate to take away the students from Class 8.

...

On the playground.

After a day of chaos, the playground became orderly, students for gym class, sports team members, students preparing for the sports meet, and members of the performance group each occupied a piece of the area.

Jiang Ning was still leaning against the podium, sipping juice, eating seeds, and watching the different groups on the playground.

Tang Fu followed the sports team, training long jumps in the sand with joy like a female leopard, while on the other extreme was Pei Yujing.

Within the short-distance running team of the second-year girls group.

"Tingting, should we go and hang out with her?" The glasses girl from Class 3 asked.

Yun Tingting looked towards Pei Yujing in the far corner, hesitated for two seconds, and said: "Forget it, she’s not really good with... conversations."

Although they’ve been classmates since the first year, Yun Tingting and Pei Yujing hadn’t really spoken much.

This girl had a particularly solitary personality.

"Alright then." The glasses girl shrugged, "Is it because her family owns a barbecue shop at the school gate, so she feels embarrassed?"

Yun Tingting: "Not really, owning a barbecue shop and eating barbecue all day sounds fun, why be ashamed?"

Immediately shaking her head: "Who knows?"

She didn’t care; different people have different lives, and her chosen life was much more exciting than Pei Yujing’s.

"Well, alright then." The glasses girl sighed.

Actually, she knew last year Pei Yujing participated in the sports meet was because her name was forcefully filled in. This year after hearing about the sports meet, her name was filled in again, thinking on the premise that she wouldn’t refuse.

Xu Yan from Class 11 approached, grabbed Yun Tingting’s hand, her smile very friendly: "Tingting, what a coincidence, we’ve both signed up for the 1500 meters again."

Yun Tingting teased: "This time, don’t be last again."

Xu Yan confidently: "I won’t be!"

Last year’s last place was because she was on her period and it coincided with the meet, this time she wouldn’t fail, she’d trained many times for 1500 meters, and this time Class 11 would resound across campus.

Yun Tingting: "Want to try running a lap?"

Xu Yan: "Let’s compete during training."

The two girls chatted cheerfully, other girls also joined the conversation.

The two were quite famous in the school year, Xu Yan signed up for the 1500 meters for Class 11, while Yun Tingting simply wanted to showcase her figure through long-distance running.

The glasses girl looked at the lively chatter here, then peered at the solitude-consuming Pei Yujing in the distance feeling regret; actually, she thought Pei Yujing was prettier than the two of them, yet unfortunately too withdrawn.

The hundred-meter training began, and Hu Mengqing from the third-year sports team was in charge of directing, she shouted: "Get to your positions, practice three more times and then disband, you can’t leave until you’re done!"

Pei Yujing, hearing this, immediately moved to the edge of the track to get ready, nearby were two giggling first-year girls, one standing next to her on the adjacent lane, while the other sharing the same track as her.

Seeing this, Hu Mengqing called out: "Why are there two on the same lane, that’s not allowed!"

As soon as she said this, everyone on the track turned to look at them, eyes wandering persistently.

The first-year girl ignored, continuing to stand.

The other girl spoke for her partner: "We arrived first!"

Pei Yujing silently backed away two steps, ready to return to her little corner.
