Chapter 102 - 102 Guan Lei's Black Eye Circles

102 Guan Lei’s Black Eye Circles

The school had arranged for people to receive Xiang Cheng sometime in the afternoon, but he decided to sneak over in the morning, hoping no one would notice.

He did not expect so many people to wait for him at the school gate. From the numbers, it was probably a full cla.s.s.

The moment the students of cla.s.s two saw Xiang Cheng, they grew excited. The boys oohed and aahed, ogling Xiang Cheng’s luxurious sports car, while the girls gushed and giggled, admiring how tall, rich, and handsome Xiang Cheng was.

Xiang Cheng puffed out his chest with pride as he soaked in the attention slathered on him by his starry-eyed onlookers.

“Brother Xiang Cheng!” Jiang Xue called out in a delicate voice. She ran to Xiang Cheng’s side with the hem of her long dress clasped, each step being the dainty flutter of feet of a lady’s. When she arrived by Xiang Cheng’s side, she clung to his arm like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Just like that, Jiang Xue revealed Xiang Cheng’s ident.i.ty. Xiang Cheng was one year their senior, so everyone knew his name even if they did not know what he looked like.

Xiang Cheng rarely attended cla.s.ses while he was a student at Zhuo Ying High School. Hence, not many knew him by appearance.

Seeing Jiang Xue latch onto Xiang Cheng’s arm, many students were envious and discussed the implications in hushed tones. The two made a handsome pair.

“I’ve always heard that our Senior Xiang Cheng is outstanding, but this is the first time I’ve seen him in person! It’s all thanks to Jiang Xue.”

“Yeah, I heard that senior Xiang Cheng is the only heir to the Xiang Corporation. He’s the son of fate!”

“Xiang Corporation? Isn’t one of the shareholders of our school the Xiang Corporation?”

“I think so. That means he’s a shareholder of our school!”

“He’s too handsome! He’s tall, rich, handsome, and talented. He’s simply the ideal candidate for a spouse.”

“As expected, a princely match for a princess. The heir of the Xiang Corporation and Miss Jiang, heiress of Kunlun Construction… I don’t know who I envy more.”

Jiang Xue listened to the discussions of the people around her and felt like a queen as she looked down on the commoners, her subjects. Her gaze landed on Shen Xi. She wanted her to see everything she had lost.

Unfortunately, Shen XI’s mind was not on Jiang Xue or Xiang Cheng. Instead, it was on Guan Lei, who had black circles under his eyes.

“What’s wrong with you? You’ve got bags beneath your eyes. Didn’t you sleep last night?” Shen Xi asked Guan Lei in concern.

Perhaps it was because Guan Lei had helped her before, but Shen Xi had a good impression of Guan Lei.

Guan Lei looked up at Shen XI and answered politely, “I didn’t sleep well.”

He had been having nightmares more and more frequently these past few days.

Since Guan Lei was not volunteering anything else, Shen Xi did not probe further. However, she took the matter of Guan Lei not sleeping well to heart and wanted to find some time to see if there was any way she could help.

Surrounded by her cla.s.smates, Jiang Xue said softly, “Brother Xiang Cheng, our school has a food exhibition at noon. Why don’t you have lunch with us? I also have an appointment with my best friends, Liu Cheng and Su Ni. Why don’t we go together?

“Sure. Why don’t we add one more person? It’ll be lively,” Xiang Cheng suggested.

Xiang Cheng’s looks weren’t bad, and his smile instantly charmed the hearts of many girls present. The first one to be charmed was Jiang Xue.

Being treated nicely by the boy she liked in public, Jiang Xue was delighted. She nodded and said, “Sure!”

However, just as Jiang Xue finished speaking, Xiang Cheng pushed her hand away and walked in Shen XI’s direction.

“Xixi, do you want to have a meal together?” Xiang Cheng smiled and looked at Shen Xi, the picture of gentlemanly refinement. At the same time, he glanced at Guan Lei, who was beside Shen Xi.

Just now, Xiang Cheng saw everyone talking and looking at him. Only Shen XI looked at the sickly man beside him with black eye circles.

Guan Lei felt Xiang Cheng’s provocative gaze and met him with disdain.

The 1.8-meter-tall Xiang Cheng stood in front of the 1.88-meter-tall Guan Lei, somewhat dwarfed by the disparity in height. Now that the two stood side-by-side, everyone could see that Guan Lei’s appearance was not inferior to Xiang Cheng’s. In some respects, Guan Lei even exceeded him!
