Chapter 1492 A Passionate First Love
Chapter 1492 A Passionate First Love
"Isn't that obvious?" Zhuang Shijue shrugged.
"Love at first sight!" Mu Ning slammed her hand on the tree beside her and said, "I hate love at first sight!"
Zhuang Shijue scoffed, ignoring the woman's erratic behavior. "Do you still want to hear it?"
"...Although it makes me very uncomfortable, I still need to know," Mu Ning said in a muffled voice.
Zhuang Shijue laughed heartily. There were some things he wasn't entirely clear about either, but as an observer, he saw more than the two of them and understood things better. Besides, he had already taken a liking to Bai Xin'ai at that time.
Bai Xin'ai is indeed very beautiful. Her title as the champion of the print model competition is well-deserved. However, she comes from a good family. Her family plans every appearance of hers carefully, ensuring that she only appears in events that will benefit her. She doesn't attend just any event invitation. If she appears too often, her appearances will lose their value.
Bai Xin'ai was already a person with a halo, so it was only natural for her to be proud. However, when she repeatedly expressed her affection for Zhuang Shiyuan but did not receive a response, she was greatly discouraged and became difficult to deal with.
Once during class, Bai Xin'ai argued with the teacher. Zhuang Shiyuan ignored her and was in a bad mood, so he was particularly annoyed with the person lecturing on the stage. He stood up and threw several books at the person on the stage, yelling, "Quiet down!" After that, the whole class went silent.
The teacher was a new teacher, a young female teacher who had only been teaching for a year. She was hit on the head with a book, so pain was inevitable. Being yelled at like that by a student was something she had never experienced before, so she was so angry that she cried.
Zhuang Shiyuan stood up and pressed Bai Xin'ai back into her seat. Bai Xin'ai turned around and glared at him, while Zhuang Shiyuan looked at her coldly.
"This is not a classroom where you can act recklessly. Wasting other people's time is tantamount to murder. If you don't study, other students will," Zhuang Shiyuan said coldly.
Bai Xin'ai didn't say anything, but she was very happy inside.
From then on, she found a way to get Zhuang Shiyuan to pay attention to her: rebelling against teachers, bullying classmates, and fighting with boys, especially Zhuang Shijue.
The fight was accidental, and it was also because Zhuang Shijue had a sharp tongue and was incredibly ruthless when he insulted people. Others couldn't afford to offend him and could tolerate it, but Bai Xin'ai couldn't, so they got into a brawl, overturning several tables. During the first fight, Zhuang Shiyuan appeared like a knight, shielding Bai Xin'ai behind him and taking a punch from Zhuang Shijue, then angrily asked:
"Is that enough? Go back to your seats if you've had enough!"
Bai Xin'ai was absolutely smitten with the imposing and domineering Zhuang Shiyuan, and obediently sat back down in her seat.
Later on, many things happened, too many to recount in a short time. Zhuang Shijue, perhaps recalling his initial enthusiasm, fell silent and said nothing more.
Bai Xin'ai's affection for Zhuang Shiyuan was like a spell, and he, too, had flocked to join in the fun.
He didn't know if it counted as his first love, but he just thought Bai Xin'ai was beautiful and he liked her. Seeing Bai Xin'ai confess her feelings to Zhuang Shiyuan again and again and be rejected, Zhuang Shijue's heart was bleeding. During the fight, he hugged her tightly and wouldn't let go no matter how hard she kicked him.
Despite his womanizing ways and numerous girlfriends, it seems he has always been the one experiencing bitterness in relationships.
Mu Ning waited for a long time, but the Second Master didn't say anything, so she quickly urged him, "And then?"
"And then?" Zhuang Shijue stretched and asked, his beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowing, "And then what?"
Mu Ning squatted on the ground; her legs were tired from standing. She was pregnant, after all. Squatting on the ground, she looked up at Zhuang Shijue and asked, "What's the deal with Zhuang Shiyuan's agreement?"
One of those promises that made her so jealous; just thinking about it made her feel suffocated.
"An agreement?" Zhuang Shijue sighed. "The Bai family knew of someone exceptionally outstanding in every way, someone who could make their precious daughter obey them, so they asked Zhuang Shiyuan to help train her..."
"Training?"
"Discipline her, discipline her." Zhuang Shijue glanced at her, looking at her sour eyes, what a pathetic girl!
Bai Xin'ai was like she was possessed at the time. She told everyone that she had to marry Zhuang Shiyuan and enter the Zhuang family. She was even more direct with her parents, telling them that she wanted to be a daughter-in-law of the Zhuang family.
Upon hearing of Zhuang Shiyuan's existence and considering the extent of their daughter's obsession, the Bai family decided to go along with her. If things actually came to fruition, both families would likely be happy. The Bai family had also privately and formally arranged meetings with the Zhuang family. Of course, they didn't mention their romantic relationship, but their intentions were very clear: they hoped the eldest son of the Zhuang family would offer much assistance to their daughter. After all, they were classmates; helping each other out would be beneficial, wouldn't it?
This isn't a bad thing; once both sides are on the same page, things will be much easier.
After meeting Zhuang's parents, the Bai family then formally met with Zhuang Shiyuan. Considering that Zhuang Shiyuan and his family were only teenagers at the time, how could he refuse such a request from their elders?
I reluctantly agreed.
But Bai Xin'ai didn't listen to everything Zhuang Shiyuan said. He was always unwilling to talk to people, so she could only ignore his advice. In fact, he would only focus more on her if she did the opposite.
"If you agree to be with me, I'll do whatever you say."
"If you don't rebel against the teacher in class, don't bully classmates, don't fight with classmates, don't skip exams, don't talk back to your parents, and so on... then I'll agree."
This was an agreement between the two of them.
"And then?" Mu Ning asked again.
Zhuang Shijue was annoyed. "What do you mean, 'then'? This is their so-called bullshit agreement."
He had been observing those two from the beginning as a bystander, and he hadn't thought about it so carefully before. He felt pretty good about himself, but now that he thought about it so carefully, it was really painful.
It wasn't that there weren't other pretty girls like Bai Xin'ai at the time, and everyone liked and fawned over her. But there was one who looked down on her, so she went to great lengths to gain his approval. In the process, she focused so much of her energy on him—how could she not fall for him?
Mu Ning shook her head. "I'm asking if they're together?"
"It gives the impression that they're together, that they've even... well, you know... but whether they actually are or not, you can only ask the people involved." Zhuang Shijue felt that the matter was unlucky.
Their first love story unfolded dramatically from junior high to high school, with countless people as their audience. The two of them probably never realized how much attention they were receiving.
It's great to be the center of attention.
“No, Zhuang Shiyuan said so,” Mu Ning quickly said, trusting Zhuang Shiyuan.
Zhuang Shijue looked at Mu Ning as if she were a fool. "You actually believe that?"
"...Can't we trust it?" Mu Ning asked hesitantly.
"Of-corse!" Zhuang Shijue shrugged and threw out a foreign phrase, adding a roll of his eyes.
