Chapter 19 - 18: The Beast Always Walks Alone
Having shared a desk for over a year, there were already quite a few conflicts between him and Wang Han. After his awakening, he devoted himself to martial arts and no longer cared about the trivial matters in the class. He had thought the conflicts would fade away with the passage of time, but unexpectedly, his repeated disregard only made things worse. Perfect. Today, he would resolve all the conflicts at once.
Seeing Xu Shuhui at a loss under the watchful eyes of many classmates, Jiang Shu spoke unhurriedly, "Wang Han, you took over my desk without even asking for my permission. I haven’t even called you out on your actions, yet here you are, wagging your tongue everywhere."
"Spreading gossip and thinking you hold the truth, manipulating people’s feelings. What, are you the only discerning one in the entire class? If Xu Shuhui really had a secret crush on me, how come there was no sign in the eleventh grade, nor in the twelfth? It was only when I took a leave of absence and came back to the classroom for a few minutes that you ’discovered’ it."
"If you really had that kind of insight, I think you might as well stop studying. Walk out of campus, go to the bus station, take the number seven bus for three stops, and get off. Within a hundred meters, there’s a police station. Go there and apply. See if they’re still hiring police dogs."
"That’s at least a position, much more useful than going to community college."
Having struggled and scraped through society for more than a decade in his past life, although he hadn’t become extremely successful, he had honed his skill in reading people. Wang Han’s current behavior was nothing more than that of a clown seeking attention. He just wanted to prove himself through other means because he wasn’t good at studying. When Jiang Shu chose not to engage, he could simply ignore him. But once he decided to speak... Wang Han? He’s nothing.
"Lastly, let me clarify: I took a leave of absence, not dropped out. So, the desk should still be my desk. The books inside should still be my books. Before you go to the police station to apply, you’d better move all my books back, every single one, and put them on the desk."
"Consider it training for your abilities. After all, police dog training surely includes retrieving items."
"Jiang Shu!"
