Chapter 550：The Lonely Top Student 13

The afternoon passed quickly.

After school, Jiao Tong didn’t leave by bus. Instead, he consciously waited downstairs for Tang Wan.

The moment Tang Wan saw him, she broke into a bright smile. “Tongtong, I’m here!”

Jiao Tong was slightly dazed by her radiant expression, then replied calmly, “Mm. Let’s go.”

He turned and walked toward the bike shed.

As the two left together, the surrounding students immediately began whispering again.

At that moment, a long-haired boy called out, “Jiao Tong! Why are you with the ‘King of Destruction’? Come play basketball with us!”

Beside him stood two other boys—one in a basketball jersey with a buzz cut, and another with a sunny, handsome face: Wen Chuan.

Hearing the nickname, Wen Chuan nudged him lightly. “Don’t call girls names like that.”

The long-haired boy curled his lips. “I didn’t make it up—everyone calls her that!”

Tang Wan heard everything but didn’t care.

Jiao Tong glanced at the long-haired boy indifferently. “I’m busy. You go ahead. I’m taking her home.”

Then he looked at Tang Wan. “Let’s go. Ignore them.”

“Okay,” Tang Wan nodded, following him toward the school gate.

The long-haired boy scratched his head as he watched them leave. “Did the sun rise in the west today? He actually volunteered to send a girl home… and it’s the school’s ‘Destruction King’ at that.”

Wen Chuan casually slung an arm around his neck. “Maybe that’s his type. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean he doesn’t.”

The long-haired boy nodded. “Fair enough. Still, with so many girls chasing him, I didn’t expect him to pick the school’s unluckiest girl.”

“Forget it,” the boy holding the basketball said. “If he’s not coming, let’s go before the court gets taken.”

“Right, let’s move!” the long-haired boy agreed.

Meanwhile, Tang Wan was already sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, holding her schoolbag carefully.

She didn’t dare touch Jiao Tong at all—what if she accidentally brushed his waist and caused something to… break?

Ten minutes later, they returned to the residential complex.

“Tongtong, want to exchange numbers?” Tang Wan asked. “If anything happens, call me. I live in Unit 6, Room 606.”

Jiao Tong nodded. “Unit 11, 1101.”

“Got it.”

After exchanging numbers, Tang Wan secretly made a V-sign in her heart, then waved. “I’ll head back first!”

“Mm.”

After she left, Jiao Tong slowly walked toward his building.

A thought lingered in his mind—

Normally, by this time, the soul of the Jiao family’s son would already be interfering with him.

But today… there had been no movement at all.

Could it be—

that the water Tang Wan gave him during the day had actually worked?

Chapter 1: Got Dumped on the Day of the Wedding

 Translator's Note Before we begin—I'll just take a moment of your time! 🌸 I know this is a bit of a wall of text to encounter before the actual novel, so I'll keep it simple: please take a moment to read this first so you know what to expect from this translation. After this chapter, you can happily skip these notes unless there's something new I need to mention. I promise I won't make you read this before every chapter. 😂 I'm sharing this translation simply because I translated this novel for myself, enjoyed it, and thought that perhaps other readers with similar tastes might enjoy it too. I'm a huge fan of quick-transmigration (快穿) novels, especially the kind where the protagonist is already extremely capable—or becomes overpowered very quickly—and gets to go through different worlds, counterattack, face-slap, and generally make life difficult for people who deserve it. I usually don't gravitate toward QT novels that focus heavily on favorabi...

Chapter 2: Does It Matter If I Am Gay?

When the male makeup artist heard Tang Wan’s words, he was immediately stunned. The others around him looked at him with envy, wishing Tang Wan would casually point at them instead. That was five billion! After a while, the male makeup artist finally reacted. His face flushed red as he asked, “Is it okay if I’m gay?” “It doesn’t matter if you’re gay or anything else. As long as you hold a wedding with me, the five billion will be yours!” Tang Wan said. “I agree!” he replied excitedly, nodding desperately. Tang Wan snapped her fingers when she heard this. “Okay! You guys, hurry up and change his clothes and fix his styling!” Hah! Did they really think she absolutely had to marry Sun Wu? Three-legged toads were hard to find, but there were plenty of two-legged men in the world! ... Hearing Tang Wan’s words, the others immediately got busy, pressing the temporary groom into a chair while applying makeup and changing him into a suit. Half an hour later, Tang Wan wor...

Chapter 4: Diablo 1

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately understood that this was a name given by the host, and the system had to accept it! Seeing this, she couldn’t help looking at Little Cutie dangerously. “Little Cutie, did you do that on purpose just now?” If she had agreed to call it the Daddy System, wouldn’t she have to call a little kid “Dad” forever? Hearing Tang Wan’s words, Little Cutie felt guilty for a second, but still said confidently: “I was originally called the Daddy System! I didn’t lie to you!” “I think it’s actually called the 88 System, right?” Tang Wan exposed him with a single glance. Upon hearing this, Little Cutie immediately stiffened his neck and said: “Yes! Doesn’t 88 sound like ‘Dad’?” Tang Wan was speechless. Did systems also play word games now? At that moment, Little Cutie was afraid Tang Wan would continue dwelling on the name issue, so he immediately urged: “Since the binding is complete, let’s head to the mission world now!” “Now entering the no...
