My Nemesis Has Finally Gone Bankrupt

ppearance, a girl whose type was exactly someone like him had already finished an entire love story in her mind.

Qin Man laughed in reply and looked at the wall filled with post-its.

“What’s this?”

Ji Ran paused before finding a random explanation, “… Just something to kill time.”

Qin Man nodded, “Have you written any before?”

“How could I possibly?” Without thinking, Ji Ran denied it and even his tone had turned sharp.
“I’m not that bored!”

The two female students who were putting up a post-it: “…”

Qin Man held back a laugh.
“I think it’s pretty nice.
It’ll definitely be cool to come back a few years later to see the post-it I’ve written.”

Ji Ran had scanned the wall several times before letting out a breath of relief when he was sure none of the post-its here were written by him.

“What’s so cool about it…” It was almost time, so Ji Ran stood up.
“Let’s go in.”

Just as they exited, they heard a conversation.

“I’m telling you guys Ji Ran was definitely not invited back! Is he here to cause trouble? Inviting himself, only he is capable of such a thing .”

“Enough.” It was Ji Wei.
“Why are you always mentioning him?”

“…” The other person paused for a moment.
“I’m helping you vent!”

“Aren’t you only saying this because of what happened in the booth?”

“It’s not, Ji Wei.
Why are you suddenly speaking up for him? Don’t you hate him?”

“I do, so stop talking about it, alright?”

“I was wondering who it was.” Ji Ran turned around and walked out of the door, interrupting them with a cold laugh.
“Turns out it was you, Little Baldie.”

Baldie was shocked into a stutter upon seeing him.
“L-Little what? Why are you here?”

“What? Weren’t you just happily running your mouth off earlier? Why are you panicking now?”

Ji Ran smiled carelessly.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t come back to make trouble, I came here specially to sew your mouth up, so that you stop talking shit behind other people’s backs all day long.
It’s also considered saving the world.
”

Baldie was frightened and instinctively cowered behind Ji Wei.
“Y-You’re threatening me.”

“That’s right, so what? Are you gonna call the police on me?” Ji Ran only wanted to laugh when he saw this state.

“Enough, stop messing around.” Ji Wei frowned.

“Who are you trying to manage?” Ji Ran sneered.

Qin Man took his time to come forward only after Ji Ran had said his fill.

“It’s almost time, let’s go in.”

Ji Ran wasn’t in a hurry to leave, but Qin Man had a speech pretty early in the assembly, so they couldn’t be late.

He clicked his tongue and glared at the baldie.
“If I hear you talking shit about me again… or anyone, I’ll fcking sew your mouth shut.
Heard that, Little Baldie?”

It wasn’t until Ji Ran had walked a distance away did Baldie dare to retort, “…How unoriginal!”

The etiquette department stood in a row at the entrance of the school, politely welcoming the guests.

The closer they got to the school gate, the slower Ji Ran’s pace became.

After Qin Man noticed it, he slowed down.
“What’s the matter?”

“Nothing.” Ji Ran lowered his head when they reached the gates, “Go in.”

After many years, he was back here again.

To him, this was a place filled with malice and darkness.
The things and people that mattered to him were pathetically few.

A girl from the line saw them and approached with a red face.
“Hello, may I know if you have an invitation? Or are you a visiting student?”

Qin Man handed the invitation over.
“For two.”

She took a look at it and nodded.
“Seniors, the assembly is about to begin, do you need me to guide you to the hall? The school has been renovated a couple of times and the hall has been relocated, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find it.”

Qin Man nodded, “We’ll have to trouble you.”

Halfway there, Ji Ran suddenly asked, “Is the back gate still around?”

The girl froze.
“What back gate?”

“The one that leads to the mountain behind… through the back road.”

“It’s there, but only the teachers can access it.
We can’t use it.”

Ji Ran nodded, deep in thought.

Arriving at the hall, the girl stated, “Your seats are printed on your invitation.
Seniors, please sit according to your assigned seats.”

Ji Ran was seated in the third row while Qin Man was in the front.

Just as they headed over to the first row, someone walked over.
It was a middle-aged woman.

“Qin Man, you’re here.” Seeing the student she was most proud of, the woman was extremely gratified.

Qin Man politely greeted her.
“Teacher.”

Just as she was about to speak, she caught sight of Ji Ran and her expression changed.

Qin Man was the student she looked most favourably upon back then and she naturally knew about the feud between the two.

Sensing the caution and warning in her gaze, Ji Ran scoffed and turned to walk towards the third row.

Just as he took two steps, he was called.

“Ji Ran,” Qin Man said, “Wait for me once this is over.
Don’t leave on your own.”

“…”

A few leaders in the front could not help themselves from turning to look over.

Ji Ran pretended not to hear and continued to walk forward.

“Classmate.” From behind, Qin Man seemed to be talking to someone.
“Do you mind if we swapped seats? My seat is in the front.”

His teacher was startled.
“Xiao Man? This is the seating arrangement, you can’t change it.”

This person is really strange, Ji Ran thought.

What was there that couldn’t be communicated over the phone? Those elderly people liked his excellence and purity, but why did he insist on establishing their relationship with those words in front of them?

“You’re so annoying.” Ji Ran stopped and put on an expression of impatience.
“Don’t come over… I’ll wait for you, that’s it.”
