[Quick Transmigration] The Clingy Spirit of the Blackened Male Supporting Character - Chapter 158

Luo Ning’s eyes lit up as he recognized Song FengXiao. He glanced around. It was lunchtime now and there were few students. Other seats were available, but this was a good opportunity to get acquainted, so he chose to sit next to Song Fengxiao.

Song Fengxiao was engrossed in an English book and didn’t notice the additional person beside him.

Luo Ning didn’t disturb him. The only sound was the soft rustle of pages turning. Sunlight cascaded over his hair, casting a warm glow.

When one of Luo Ning’s assignments was done, there was finally movement next to him. Song Fengxiao set his book down and pressed his straight nose.

When he glanced over, Luo Ning could have sworn Song Fengxiao’s gaze lingered on his face for a moment.

Luo Ning gripped his pen, pursed his lip, and said cautiously in a low voice, “Uh, Song, sorry to interrupt, but may I ask you a question?”

Awkwardly starting a conversation, Luo Ning’s bright eyes looked at Song Fengxiao while taking the opportunity to admire his handsome face.

Song Fengxiao frowned. He had heard this type of pick-up line many times before. He didn’t expect to see someone use such a cliché approach. He bluntly replied, “No.”

Luo Ning was not discouraged and showered him with compliments. “Song, this question is really difficult. With your intelligence and skills, a few words from you would easily enlighten me!”

“Please help me, my idol!”

As he spoke, he showed an admiring gaze. Luo Ning knew that beneath Song Fengxiao’s cold and serious face, he actually enjoyed being showered with rainbow farts. But due to his deceptive appearance, no one had noticed this.

Everyone thought Song Fengxiao was unapproachable like a flower on a high peak, but little did they know that he actually cared a lot about his image.

Luo Ning’s strategy for getting close to Song Fengxiao was simple: shower him with rainbow farts and win him over as a friend.

Sure enough, Song Fengxiao, who was usually unyielding, softened his cold expression slightly. Under Luo Ning’s sparkling eyes, he didn’t immediately walk away, reluctantly lingering for a minute, as if finding it troublesome, before pinpointing the key to the problem in just a few words.

Luo Ning quickly pulled out a piece of paper and added, “Idol, since your grades are so great, you must have unique study methods.”

“Could you recommend a few tutoring books or share some valuable experience so that a slacker like me can also have a chance to improve?”

Seeing Song Fengxiao’s impatience as he stood up to return the books, Luo Ning clasped his hands together and said softly, “Please, please.”

“I promise it won’t take long, having your guidance is so rare.”

With his delicate and good-looking features, this gesture made him seem rather cute.

Song Fengxiao was not easily swayed by compliments, but looking into Luo Ning’s hopeful eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse. He hesitated for a while and wrote down a few book titles on the paper.

Luo Ning cherished the paper as if it were a treasure. “Idol, you’re the best! I’ll definitely study the tutoring books you recommended.”

Then he pressed on, “I’m from Class 4, my name is Luo Ning. How about I treat you to some milk tea? I want to thank you for your help.”

Song Fengxiao looked deeply at Luo Ning. He had already seen through Luo Ning’s intentions. First, the casual pick-up line, then the milk tea invitation. He guessed that the next step would be asking for his contact information, followed by texting and calling. He saw it all coming.

Not wanting to invite trouble into his life, Song Fengxiao coldly said no thanks and left the library.

Luo Ning felt a bit disappointed but quickly cheered up. At least he had spoken to Song Fengxiao. If they met more often, surely they would become familiar.

After an afternoon of math class, Luo Ning decided to walk outside and look for a bookstore to buy tutoring materials. Since Song Fengxiao ranked first in the entire school, his recommendations would undoubtedly be useful.

Nearby the No. 1 High School was a bustling street with all kinds of shops. Luo Ning caught a whiff of something delicious and thought he might as well eat before buying books.

He picked a place that served bibimbap. There weren’t many people, and it looked clean and bright. As soon as he entered, he spotted Song Fengxiao.

He was thrilled. He hadn’t been able to invite Song Fengxiao for milk tea earlier, and now they encountered each other at a meal!

Luo Ning quickly grabbed his bag and rushed over, excitedly calling out, “Brother Song, what a coincidence!”

He summoned a waiter and ordered the same bibimbap as Song Fengxiao, with an extra order of two sunny-side-up eggs.

Song Fengxiao looked at the excited person before him, his eyelashes slightly lowered. This guy was calling him “idol” just moments ago and now “brother”? Plus, they encountered each other. How could this be so coincidental?

Luo Ning took the bowl and handed one of the sunny-side-up eggs to Song Fengxiao. “This is good. You should try it too.”

Luo Ning was simply sharing, but Song Fengxiao’s gaze lingered on the egg’s heart-shaped outline. After thinking of something, he looked up at Luo Ning with a strange expression, as if he had come to a sudden realization. A hint of subtle annoyance crossed his eyes.

He pushed the sunny-side-up egg far away and replied flatly, “I don’t like it. You don’t have to waste your time by giving anything.”

Luo Ning didn’t understand. If he didn’t like it, he didn’t have to eat it.

He happily devoured all the food. Occasionally, he couldn’t help but steal glances at Song Fengxiao. Someone with such stunning looks made even eating appear beautiful. Just look at that face, and the food seemed even more delicious.

He invited, “Brother Song, there’s still time. You’re alone too. How about we go shopping together for a while?”

“Do you have a phone? I’ve always wanted to be friends with you. Can we add each other as friends?”

Song Fengxiao paused for a moment, a knowing look flashing in his eyes. He gave Luo Ning a helpless look and sighed softly, abandoning his meal. He put down his spoon and headed for the cashier. He thought for a moment and still gave advice, “If you really want to study hard, you can’t be too restless.”

“The college entrance exam is the most important thing. Don’t think about such trivial matters.”

Luo Ning, who was still holding his bowl, felt completely confused. Why did it seem like Song Fengxiao was saying something deeper? It was fine to refuse to add him as a friend, but why was he advising him? Did he really look so restless? He didn’t think so.

Luo Ning felt puzzled, suspecting it might just be a friendly reminder from Song Fengxiao.

Without Song Fengxiao, Luo Ning lost interest in lingering around the street. He bought his books and was about to grab a taxi home when he saw a familiar silhouette turning around in front of him. It was Qiao Yuming. Luo Ning felt annoyed. He should have changed directions.

He ignored Qiao Yuming and tried to walk past him, but Qiao Yuming blocked his way, looking disgusted as he cursed, “Damn it! Luo Ning, aren’t you disgusting?!”

“How dare you stalk me? You’re acting like a pervert.”

Luo Ning felt like punching him. “Go to the hospital if you’re sick.”

Qiao Yuming squinted at him. “Are you still pretending? You’re like a leech clinging to me. Aren’t you the one who wants to dissolve the engagement? I knew you were just playing hard to get. Do you think this will attract my attention? Dream on.”

Saying this made Qiao Yuming angry. He despised Luo Ning and wanted to get rid of him immediately, but he didn’t want to be the one getting dumped by him. It infuriated him that someone so shameless, chasing after him like this, had the nerve to break off the engagement first. This caused him to get scolded by his parents. How was he supposed to save face?

Luo Ning hated this kind of arrogant attitude the most. Plus, Qiao Yuming was still not shutting up. He swung his backpack at him and said loudly, “You dumbass, you should really look in the mirror and see how ugly you are!”

“With your pathetic appearance, you have to be blind to think you can play hard to get with me.”

After being hit on the head, Qiao Yuming felt a dull pain and was furious. “You dare hit me, Luo Ning? I’m telling you, you’ve gone too far with your act.”

“You’ve completely lost your chance. The ruder you are, the less I think of you.”

“You’ve already crossed my bottom line. You think you can use the excuse of ending the cooperation between our families to threaten me? I’m not that easy to intimidate…”

The incessant noise swirled around him. Luo Ning cursed inwardly and hopped into a taxi, but Qiao Yuming was still not satisfied and tried to grab the taxi door.

In response, Luo Ning simply grabbed a water bottle and splashed it all over Qiao Yuming’s face. Taking advantage of Qiao Yuming’s moment of surprise, he slammed the door shut, leaving him fuming in a cloud of exhaust.

Feeling frustrated, Luo Ning tossed his backpack aside, comforting himself that he shouldn’t stoop to the level of an idiot.

The door to his room was slightly ajar. Luo Ning was hunched over his desk, focusing on doing his homework. When his father saw this scene, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

He had thought his son would be heartbroken after breaking off the engagement with Qiao Yuming, given how much he liked him. He came over to console him, only to find his son not playing games, not binge-watching shows, and not shopping. He was actually studying?! The shock must have been immense.

Luo Ning’s father quickly pulled out his gold card. “Son, if you’re feeling down, don’t hold it in. Here, Dad gives you some pocket money. Buy what you want and play however you like.”

“Aren’t you eyeing that car? Go pick it up today!”

Luo Ning felt warmth in his heart. “Dad, I’m not sad. I’m just bored playing around, and I suddenly realized it’s getting close to senior year. I want to see if I can get into college based on my own efforts. It’d be nice to have something to show for myself.”

“And I’ve realized I’m quite smart. I absorb knowledge quickly. With a year and a half left, I want to give it a shot.”

Seeing his son’s clear eyes, Luo Ning’s father felt this time his son might be serious. He couldn’t help but feel pleased. As a parent, he didn’t want to force his child to study hard.

However, he wholeheartedly supported the idea of studying. Seeing his son so focused on his books made him happy.

When he was happy, he became even more generous. “Alright son, if you work hard, buying a car is no issue. How about buying a cruise ship or even opening a ski resort? We could invite your classmates to play together during the holidays.”

Luo Ning laughed and pushed his father out. “Okay, Dad, I’m not interested in that right now. I still have homework to finish. You should get back to work.”
