Chapter 206: Chapter 205: So What If a Woman Has Good Grades

Liao Yonghe enthusiastically reached out to pat He Chen’s arm again. He Chen endured without walking away, but his eyes clearly lacked the warmth they had just now.

He didn’t like people who were too touchy-feely, being overly familiar didn’t give one the right to just pat others, especially when this Ji Bowen guy had an unfriendly look as if others owed him money.

He didn’t have any fondness for these two, let alone consider them as buddies.

He said nothing, and Liao Yonghe didn’t seem awkward at all, smiling in a particularly amiable manner, "Are you here to drop off Ye Manman for class?"

As the saying goes, you don’t hit someone who is smiling at you.

Even though Liao Yonghe’s smile was particularly worthy of a smack, and he seemed to have not washed his face, with eye gunk at the corners of his eyes, He Chen resisted the impulse to hit him.

His expression was natural as he nodded slightly, "Yes, I still have some matters to attend to, so I need to go now. You guys should hurry to class."

It was almost time for class. Liao Yonghe seemed reluctant to leave, but Ji Bowen shook off his hand with a cold face and left on his own.

Liao Yonghe glanced again in the direction He Chen left before quickly catching up with Ji Bowen.

"Wow, Bowen, you have no idea, that guy’s muscles are really solid, just like iron, I really don’t know how he trains them, really impressive!"

Boys always admire well-built men, even if Liao Yonghe was as skinny as a weakling, he had dreamed of becoming a muscle-man.

But, his arms and legs were too skinny, and no matter how much he ate, he couldn’t gain weight, let alone muscle, even fat was hard to gain.

Ji Bowen could hear the admiration in his words, making him feel more uncomfortable.

"How did he train them? That guy looks like he’s from the countryside, isn’t Ye Manman from a rural place too? Could she possibly marry a city guy? Aren’t all rural guys like that?"

He was really annoyed. He felt uncomfortable after previously praising the wrong person silently, and now his sidekick, who had always followed and admired him, seemed to have betrayed him too.

What’s so great about that guy? Just a country lad, merely hiding his hardworking muscles under a guise of decency.

Ji Bowen was disdainful, while Liao Yonghe felt that what he said wasn’t quite right, mumbling softly from behind.

"Are all rural guys like that? How come I remember those who come to the city being quite short, dark and short, the muscles are there, but not as good-looking, he doesn’t even look that dark, and that body, doesn’t quite match..."

Listening made Ji Bowen feel almost like having a heart attack.

He felt mentally exhausted.

Right then they reached the classroom, he mentally blocked out Liao Yonghe’s mumbling and went into the classroom straight away.

Ye Manman was still sitting in her usual spot by the door, easy to see as you walked in.

Ji Bowen initially just glanced at her as usual, but suddenly his heart fluttered uncontrollably.

An image of a soft girl sweetly grabbing a man’s shirt and kissing him deeply suddenly flashed in his mind, scaring Ji Bowen so much that he almost missed his seat and ended up on the floor.

Luckily no one noticed, so he pretended nothing happened, quickly sitting down and opening his book.

Liao Yonghe followed Ji Bowen into the classroom as usual, but this time he didn’t go and sit by Ji Bowen directly, instead, he ran straight to Ye Manman and said.

"Ye Manman, we just saw your husband, he’s so tall and strong, those muscles are incredible, I dream of having that kind of physique!"

After all, it’s youthful spirit. Even though there had been conflicts with Ye Manman before, it had been so long since, and they weren’t really enemies. Liao Yonghe brazenly crowded over.

Ever since he learned about Ye Manman’s scores, he’d been thinking about how to get on good terms with her, as business-minded people must be thick-skinned.

Now was a good opportunity.

If he praised her husband, she would surely be happy.

But Liao Yonghe still miscalculated.

Ye Manman just gave him a cursory look and shook her head dismissively, "In this life, probably no chance, maybe you can try reincarnating in the next one."

Unexpectedly, Ye Manman wasn’t harsh with her words, just poked fun at him, which delighted Liao Yonghe, who quickly sat beside her with his book.

"Hahaha, I was just dreaming. By the way, you’re not mad at us anymore?"

Not waiting for her response, Liao Yonghe hurriedly explained.

"Actually, Ji Bowen didn’t intentionally look down on you, he’s just too conceited, never seeing a girl better than him in academics. You’re broad-minded, don’t hold it against the two of us, okay?"

"I didn’t mean to say those unpleasant things. I was just being brainless, and he didn’t intentionally bump into you that day, probably dumb too. As the saying goes, no conflict, no acquaintance, you guys are the top students in class, better not create a rift."

"You’re so beautiful, with a tall and handsome husband, surely with a kind heart too. Be magnanimous and forgive us, okay?"

Like a puppy, he half-laid on the desk expectantly staring at Ye Manman, and since Ye Manman sat in the first row, gossip about the class goddess being pestered naturally attracted attention from many.

Many classmates curiously watched them, not knowing what Liao Yonghe was talking about with Ye Manman, smiling meekly.

Ji Bowen also secretly watched them, gripping his pen hard enough to almost break it.

What is Liao Yonghe trying to do?

Sucking up to Ye Manman and her husband, does he think I’m no good?

Ji Bowen always knew Liao Yonghe was a born businessman, driven by profit, sticking around for his academic excellence and bright future.

So it didn’t surprise him when Liao Yonghe went to curry favor with Ye Manman now.

When the class bell rang, Liao Yonghe was still sitting with Ye Manman, Ji Bowen scoffed, diverted his gaze, and opened his book.

Let him cling to Ye Manman, let’s see if he regrets backing the wrong person later.

Just a woman, so what if she’s smart?

She’ll still stay home tending to husband and kids, achieving what exactly?

Her husband too, just a rural lad, what could he achieve in Jing City? It’d be a wonder if they could raise kids.

Heh.

"Hey, Bowen, guess what I just said to Ye Manman?"

Suddenly, a figure shot like wind next to him, bringing the familiar voice again to his ear.

Ji Bowen sneered, not even sparing a glance, looking straight at the blackboard.

"Why do I care what you guys say, talk about whatever you like."

The teacher was already teaching, and everyone was listening intently, so Liao Yonghe didn’t want to disturb the class, quietly relaying his newfound conclusion to him.

"I just apologized to her, she said as classmates, there’s no need for a fallout. You deliberately bumped her and didn’t apologize, but if you sincerely apologize, this ends, and we’ll all be good classmates, learning and progressing together."

"How about that? If you have a chance, give her an apology. She’s got all flawless scores in four subjects, if you don’t understand something, you could ask her, maybe your scores will soar too."

"Cheer up, buddy, I’ve got your back."
