Chapter 165 Shaking
The system stared at Jiang Xing.
"You're teasing me again," the system said quietly.
Each time, it couldn't tell whether Jiang Xingni was seriously thinking about it or just teasing it.
If this is taken seriously, then this behavior is far too improper.
If he was just teasing himself—the system carefully analyzed Jiang Xingni's tone and felt that it was still too serious and solemn.
Jiang Xingni just chuckled and didn't react much—of course, this was in the Pure Comedy System.
Since they've already started arguing, how could they possibly stop arguing just because Jiang Xingni posted a few battle damage photos, and then become a close family?
The best outcome would be nothing more than turning a public fight into a private exchange of insults against each other's ancestors.
Then I clicked into another post.
[I have a feeling that He Jingtong's character is a bit off in the new chapter? Is it just my imagination, or did the screenwriter finally lose control of the ensemble cast and push me into writing out-of-character (OOC) material?]
When Jiang Xingni exited the previous post, the new post was pushed to the top because of the large number of replies.
As for the post that she glanced at but vaguely remembered—Jiang Xingni still had to scroll down to find it among a bunch of posts.
Clicking into the post, it was indeed as Jiang Xingni had expected—there weren't many replies.
The original poster made the post a few hours ago, but it took half an hour to get the first reply.
1L: I agree with He Jing, but I don't feel that way at all. Maybe the original poster is mistaken.
2L: Is it really just my imagination?
3L: I also feel a bit strange. The main thing is, why does He Jingtong still try to hide this news?
Although the comic says that He Jingtong planned to listen to the whole thing first before sharing the information.
But he clearly saw Xiao Jiming and Jiang Xingni appear, so why aren't they coming out yet?
He didn't actually come out until Xie Yungui discovered him.
4L: ...That makes sense.
5L: So why did He Jingtong do this?
6L: Besides, isn't Xie Yungui's superpower SL? He must have his own reasons for specifically targeting He Jingtong.
7L: Could it be that He Jingtong has a problem?
8L: No way, He Jingtong was one of the first characters to appear in the main group... If He Jingtong has problems, did he have problems from the beginning, or was he turned later?
9L: I still think this conjecture is a bit too far-fetched. Besides, this is just a conjecture based on Xie Yungui's performance. There's no concrete evidence. Don't speculate. We'll find out what happened when the comic is updated later.
The ninth floor was the last reply.
Jiang Xingnian refreshed the page and saw a notification suddenly pop up.
[This post has been deleted]
"Okay," Jiang Xing thought to himself.
She had some doubts at first, but then the post was deleted.
Jiang Xingni was basically certain that He Jingtong had a problem.
Whether they were turned or if there were problems from the beginning remains to be confirmed. No one can draw a conclusion about what the problem was or which side was involved.
But to be honest, Jiang Xingni thinks it's more likely that He Jingtong was an undercover agent from the very beginning—considering the unusual things about the protagonist, maybe He Jingtong came for Xiao Jiming.
Based on the many shonen manga she had read, Jiang Xingni felt that her conjecture was completely reasonable and well-founded.
If it weren't for the potential for spoilers, the forum wouldn't have deleted the discussion thread about speculating on the plot so quickly.
Moreover, Jiang Xingni remembered that although there were nine replies in the entire post, only a few people were chatting.
Furthermore, since it's sunk to the bottom, probably very few people will even bother to click on the post and take a look.
In this situation, deleting the post is the easiest way to prevent spoilers.
Then Jiang Xingni browsed through the forum posts again—just the posts on the homepage—and suddenly saw a message pop up at the top of her phone screen.
[Song Juexiao: Teacher Lin is looking for us.]
[Song Juexiao: Are you awake?]
[Song Juexiao: Reply to me when you wake up, and I'll take you there.]
Jiang Xingni quickly closed the forum and then replied via private message: 【Awake, wait for me.】

After she finished washing up, she opened the door and saw Song Juexiao sitting on the sofa, resting his chin on his hand and looking at Jiang Xingni.
"I thought you'd get up a little later," Song Juexiao said softly. "After all, last night was really tough."
Jiang Xingnian carefully examined Song Juexiao's current expression.
Although it looks a bit pale, there doesn't seem to be any major problem.
Song Juexiao raised an eyebrow at Jiang Xingni: "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Then she casually took out a blush from her bag and applied it to her face while looking in the mirror.
"Does this make you look much better?" Song Juexiao asked.
Jiang Xingni nodded.
After all, if Song Juexiao looked too pale, Lin Hongguang would definitely press him to tell him what had happened.
And the reason is, in a way, somewhat inexplicable.
"The lips too." Jiang Xingni leaned over and twisted out the lip gloss.
She carefully applied the orange-red lip gloss to Song Juexiao's lips.
Song Juexiao stared into Jiang Xingni's eyes for a while, then suddenly smiled.
Song Juexiao had always known that Jiang Xingni's eyes were golden, but this was the first time she had seen the color of Jiang Xingni's eyes so clearly; it turned out that they weren't just golden.
And in his pupils was a faint, almost star-like color.
Rotating around her pupils, upon closer inspection, it seemed capable of captivating anyone who gazed into her eyes.
The earring, also a single piece of gold, swayed gently as Jiang Xingni moved.
Song Juexiao had a sudden, unsettling feeling.
Her heart swayed along with Jiang Xingni's earrings.
"Sometimes you really are like your mother, you know that?" Song Juexiao teased Jiang Xingni.
Jiang Xingni rolled her eyes and ignored her banter.
"Are you really okay?"
Only after receiving a positive answer did he follow Song Juexiao out the door.
"Teacher Lin only said there was one more task," Song Juexiao said. "I don't know what kind of task it is."
Jiang Xingni had a guess in her mind—it was probably related to the next instance she had guessed.
"Is it related to last night?" Jiang Xingni asked.
Song Juexiao neither agreed nor disagreed.
"It might be related; in any case, Teacher Lin was definitely trying to get us away."
"Most of the time, there should only be one task during a long holiday."
After all, they are still students, not full-time employees.
After much calculation, Song Juexiao is about to take on his third task during this long holiday.
"What a long vacation," Song Juexiao couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Xing glanced at Song Juexiao but didn't ask her about He Jingtong.
They didn't ask them when they first met.
