Chapter 56: Chapter 056 Regret and Shame_1

“I haven’t left!” Once she sees Wu Shanshan and Huo Jinlan, she immediately diverts her messy thoughts and tries to maintain a smile.

“You?” Wu Shanshan scrutinizes her suspiciously, feeling that after a month away for the summer holidays, something about Jiang Nanfei seems off.

Just as she’s about to say something, she’s abruptly tugged from behind by Huo Jinlan. It suddenly occurs to her what they’re here for and she immediately plastered a warm smile on her face, “Student Nanfei, we have a gathering this afternoon. You should join! The whole class is taking part. Come with us!”

“I don’t have the time. You guys go on ahead!”

“The whole class is going. How could you not?” Wu Shanshan grabs her arm, subtly applying strength, “This is an event organised by the class committee. Given your good grades, you should play a leading role. Besides, not going would make you seem unsociable. You must attend today.”

Jiang Nanfei clearly understands their hidden motives; isn’t it just to mock and ridicule her like before?

...

Previously, she was ashamed of her poverty; her food and necessities were of the lowest quality, and her clothes were the oldest and ugliest. She even dared not allow her parents to find her at school for fear of being laughed at and looked down by her classmates.

Later when she grew up, she felt deep shame for her vanity and didn’t know where to hide. This became a dark secret deep inside her, shamed at the thought of anyone knowing how unbearable she was.

She’d dreamt of being able to time-travel back to her student days and be given another chance to reform herself.

And now, the opportunity was here!

“Jiang Nanfei, are you scared?” Huo Jinlan provocatively looked at her, “Or is it because your clothes are too old and ugly, and you’re embarrassed to meet your classmates?”

“No!” Jiang Nanfei firmly shook her head and replied, “I’m worried that I will return home too late and it will delay the feeding of the pigs.”

“Feeding pigs? Hahahaha…” Wu Shanshan burst out in laughter, leaning forward and backward in convulsion, “Hahaha… you still feed pigs? Don’t you usually act high and mighty at school? So, you, Jiang Nanfei, still feed pigs, huh!”

Huo Jinlan elbowed Wu Shanshan and whispered, “Let her go first before laughing.”

“Right, you’re correct.” What’s the point of only both of them laughing? It would be best to let the whole class, especially in front of Qiao Jingxuan, see her make a fool of herself.

“Let’s go!” Wu Shanshan dragged Jiang Nanfei in the direction of the school, “Our meeting point is at Qiao Jingxuan’s place, don’t you like him? You’ll see him soon.”

Upon the mention of Qiao Jingxuan, Jiang Nanfei’s sagging head immediately shot up. Her piercing gaze made Wu Shanshan’s mind waver; she didn’t even realize when Jiang Nanfei broke free from her grip.

“You don’t need to pull me! I can walk on my own.” If they wanted to see her humiliated, they were being too naive!

At two in the afternoon, many students had already gathered in Qiao Jingxuan’s yard. The students were in groups of threes and twos, chit-chatting either sitting or standing. Most of the girls carried backpacks, even holding water bottles in their hands.

The boys were playfully squabbling with each other, the atmosphere was relaxed and lively.

“Why isn’t the class monitor here yet? Is the gathering happening or not? If not, it’ll soon be dusk.” A loud voice immediately caused the yard to quiet down.

The boys were stunned for a moment, then collectively shouted, “Damn, Lu Zhishen you scared the hell out of us!”

“I almost had a heart attack.”
