Not just Xiangcheng, but schools from other areas in Beicheng also faced differences in resources compared to Beicheng High School.

Yet, Beicheng didn’t care about that.

They only focused on making the test questions difficult, regardless of whether other areas could keep up; even Tang Ming grumbled every time there was a joint exam.

The top one hundred rankings in Beicheng were almost exclusively students from Beicheng High School.

But that was in the past—

Watching Bai Lian, Tang Ming murmured, “I feel like there might be a surprise this time…”

“Song Min?” Bai Lian was actually surprised; even people in Xiangcheng had heard of this name.

Ning Xiao had obviously heard of it too and enlightened Bai Lian, “He’s the leading candidate for the top scholar in our cohort in Beicheng.”

“A hexagonal warrior, without any weak points.” Tang Ming added and then looked at Bai Lian, “God of Scavenging, if only your chemistry was a bit better, you might have been able to compete with him.”

Bai Lian nodded her head and continued to do practice questions.

When Jiang Fulai arrived.

Bai Lian had just finished the questions from the new Jiangjing University app and uploaded her answers.

“Not busy today?” Bai Lian put down her pen, leaned lazily against the chair back and casually rubbed her wrist.

Jiang Fulai placed the computer on the table, his expression as noble and indifferent as ever, his eyes naturally pale and when hit by the sunlight, their cold light refracted, making him appear even more solitary.

He sat down, crossing his legs with elegance, “It’s alright, it’s Sunday.”

Bai Lian felt nothing.

But opposite her, Ning Xiao slowed down his writing considerably.

Tang Ming didn’t dare to lift his head, wanting to escape, so he stiffened his resolve and found an excuse, “I’m going down to buy everyone milk tea, what do you want?”

Ning Xiao was very calm, “Coffee.”

Bai Lian, with a lazy hand propping her chin, opened a book she had taken off the bookshelf called “Machine Consciousness” and flipped through it, “Jiang Xiaoniao and I will have the cherry fruit tea.”

After saying this.

She tilted her head slightly, asking on Tang Ming’s behalf, “What would you like to drink?”

Tang Ming had wanted to leave but now he didn’t.

Inwardly, he was drumming.

No, did the young master Jiang seem like someone who would drink this kind of thing?

Jiang Fulai’s icy fingertips pressed the computer’s power button and without lifting his head, his tone was light as a breeze, “Jade Pendant.”

What?

Not just Tang Ming, Bai Lian didn’t quite understand for a moment either.

“Ah? Oh, okay… got it.” Tang Ming stood up, dazed. He wasn’t much into milk tea and, thinking it was some new kind of milk tea, he hastily made his escape downstairs.

Why did he feel as if ‘Jiang Fulai’ equated to a “you’re dead” statement?

“I’ll go with you.” Ning Xiao, feeling a sense of crisis, made a swift decision.

It wasn’t until they got downstairs that Ning Xiao and Tang Ming exchanged a look and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling like they’d come back to life.

But when Tang Ming asked about the “Jade Pendant” milk tea, the clerk was even more confused than him.

Tang Ming knew then that something was wrong.

He quickly took out his phone and sent Bai Lian a WeChat message for help.

“Wait, what milk tea are you talking about?” Bai Lian, with her middle finger and index finger holding the pen, spun it in her hand, propped up her leg, raised an eyebrow and asked, “You scared Tang Ming to death.”

Jiang Fulai glanced at her, the setting sun through the window offering little warmth, profiled his high nose from the side. He gazed at Bai Lian, his pale eyes deeper than usual, and didn’t speak right away.

Fine then.

Bai Lian spun her pen and was just about to reply to Tang Ming the same way.

Young Master Jiang withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the complex patterns on his computer screen, inquiring very politely, “Did you find your ex-fiancé’s jade pendant, or do you need help looking for it?”

His face was as cold and beautiful as always, showing little emotion.

Bai Lian:

“Thanks but,” she hesitated for a moment before answering cautiously, “it shouldn’t be necessary, I’ve returned it already.”

“Oh.” Jiang Fulai’s face remained cool.

Bai Lian, touching her chin, took out her phone, typed a few characters to Tang Ming, thought for a moment, and then showed Jiang Fulai, “So, is this okay?”

Jiang Fulai took a glance at the unsent chat on Bai Lian’s phone that read—

[Cherry fruit tea, double the sugar for him]

Double the sugar?

Jiang Fulai glanced at the line and then silently looked at Bai Lian, his gaze lingering on her face for a long while.

What exactly gave her the false impression that he liked double sugar?

“It’s fine.” He nodded and looked away.

Bai Lian sent the message, and Tang Ming eagerly showed his urgent request to the clerk.

Tang Ming and Ning Xiao returned with an array of drinks.

First, they gave Bai Lian and Jiang He their drinks, and then with both hands, Tang Ming held out Young Master Jiang’s double-sugared drink.

Of course, why would such a cold and aloof person like Young Master Jiang actually like double sugar
