Chapter 44: Shake His Head in Disappointment

Of course, Zhang Jian can hear all of the comments the girls are saying about him. Each one of their criticisms is like arrows piercing his heart. Hey, you know that I can hear you, right?! He looks at Lu Chen. Seeing his best friend suddenly becoming more handsome than him from just a haircut made him tear up with pain.

Why?! He just cut his hair, and now the dude is suddenly being crowned as a prince charming! I have been working on my image for so long, yet this guy gets it from something so simple! If there were no comments, Zhang Jian would have been happy for his friend's new appearance. But right now, his jealously is outweighing his happiness for him. The whole situation is like a kick to his family jewels.

He leans over to Lu Chen and whispers, "Are you really Lu Chen?" Zhang Jian couldn't believe the person sitting next to him is his brother. Maybe he is an actor brother Chen paid to sub in for him at school.

"Hey, are you listening?" Zhang Jian starts to shake Lu Chen by the shoulders. But while he does it, Zhang Jian doesn't realize he is being glared at from the front of the classroom.

"Maybe you should be the one listening to the class, student Zhang Jian." Slowly turning around his head, Zhang Jian sees Xiao Lao Shi coldly looking at him.

"It seems you haven't learned your lesson." Xiao Lao Shi continues as he points at the door, "GET OUT!"

Aw, come on. Zhang Jian starts to welp as he walks out of the classroom, forced to stand outside the room again.

Lu Chen shakes his head in disappointment at how his friend got caught in the same problem again.

…

"that is it for today." Xiao Lao Shi said as he walks out of the classroom, and the entire class could hear the crazy yelling that is going on outside. Once the outside had become silent, Zhang Jian walks back into the room, all lifeless and devoid of emotion. The moment he got to his desk, he drops down onto the table in defeat again.

Lu Chen looks at him with pity,

“What do you have to do?”

“Five-page essay about why I should be paying attention in class and what I did was wrong.” Zhang Jian said without any life in his voice.

“Well, at least it's not ten.” Lu Chen tries to lighten up the mood. But what he said had the opposite effect on Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian gets off of the table and glares at Lu Chen, “Let’s not talk about this right now. What I want to know is how you look like this?!”

“Genetics?” Lu Chen shrugs his shoulders as he didn’t know what to answer the question. “No, I mean, why did you even cut your hair?” Zhang Jian’s face twitches. He felt that his friend was messing with his dignity.

“My hair was too long, and it was a pain trying to see anything, and I look very moody from not treating it properly.” Lu Chen scratches his head as students all around him were giving him weird looks, “What, you don’t like it?”

“No, you look so much better now, but?” Zhang Jian couldn’t just explain that he became zero to dinero in one goal, or Lu Chen might get cocky from it.

“But?”

“If you’re next to me, your looks are going to be overshadowed by my handsomeness.” Zhang Jian said proudly. So what if you become handsome so quickly. I’m the best-looking person in this class.

Lu Chen couldn’t believe that his friend is still griping over who more handsome and retorts back, “Tchh, get out of here. My pinky finger is more handsome than you.”

As the two are bantering around about which person is the better-looking one, the students continue to stare at them. Especially the females. It didn't matter to them who is more handsome.
