Chapter 551：The Lonely Top Student 14

Thinking of that possibility, Jiao Tong’s steps unconsciously slowed.

After returning to his room, he picked up a book, quietly waiting for the moment the Jiao family’s son would appear again.

But what surprised him was—

Even until ten o’clock at night, when he was about to sleep, the other party never showed up.

For a moment, Jiao Tong let out a long breath.

So… Tang Wan really hadn’t lied to him.

He had only stayed with her for less than two hours during the day, yet the effect was already this obvious. If he spent more time with her…

His eyes narrowed slightly as a thought formed in his mind.

The next morning.

Looking at Jiao’s mother bustling around to prepare breakfast, Jiao Tong felt nothing.

If he didn’t know the truth, maybe he would’ve been touched.

But now he knew—she wasn’t being kind to him.

She was being kind to her own son.

“Chunchun, come eat! Mom made your favorite xiaolongbao,” Jiao’s mother said warmly, bringing over a glass of hot milk.

Jiao Tong sneered inwardly, but sat down with a gloomy face.

“My buddy transferred to Class 3,” he said impatiently. “I’m transferring too. Call the teacher today.”

“Okay, okay! I’ll call right away. Don’t be angry—eat first,” she coaxed.

“Hmph.”

He picked up his chopsticks and began eating with a domineering air.

During his struggle with Jiao Chun’s soul, he had seen fragments of his memories.

He knew exactly how spoiled and arrogant that boy had been—so he mimicked him perfectly, leaving no room for suspicion.

Jiao Chun had relied on cheating to rank first, while his parents blindly believed he was a top student.

Fortunately, Jiao Tong didn’t need to fake it—his own abilities were more than enough.

After breakfast, he slammed the door and left.

Downstairs, Tang Wan was already waiting.

“Tongtong, you’re here! How did you feel last night?” she asked, pretending ignorance.

Jiao Tong looked at her deeply. The usual haze in his eyes had lightened slightly.

“He didn’t come out.”

“That’s great! See? I told you I wasn’t lying,” Tang Wan said proudly. “Stay with me more, and sooner or later, that ghost will be completely suppressed!”

“Mm.” He nodded.

At the same time—

his favorability rose to 60.

After arriving at school, the two parted ways.

But after the first class, something unexpected happened.

A group of girls suddenly gathered at the classroom door.

Then, the long-haired boy and Wen Chuan appeared—carrying desks.

The next second, Jiao Tong walked in behind them.

Tang Wan’s heart skipped a beat.

Wait… did Tongtong transfer classes?!

Before she could process it, Wen Chuan and the long-haired boy grinned mischievously and carried Jiao Tong’s desk straight into the classroom.

They placed it right beside Tang Wan’s empty neighboring seat.

Then the long-haired boy slapped Jiao Tong’s shoulder. “All set, bro! Enjoy your new seat!”
