Chapter 1 — I'm Already Excellent

After once again winning first place in the whole school, I received a confession from young master Giang - who had ranked second for many years, with a love letter in hand. At the same time, lines of comments flashed before my eyes: 【The woman certainly didn't expect that Jiang Ze was just trying to distract her to win first place.】 【Don't see Chu Thanh Le coldly refusing now but think it's true, in a month if she doesn't turn into a licking dog, I will stand on a handstand and eat shit.】 【One more person, I stand on a handstand and wash my hair.】 Chu Thanh Le is my name. Seeing these lines, I smiled slightly and received the love letter:

“Okay, from now on you are my boyfriend.”

Who's clinging to whom, we're not sure yet. Hearing my answer, Jiang Ze's expression clearly stiffened, staring at me in surprise. Comments also immediately exploded: 【What? Accept it so quickly? Is it reasonable? I would like to ask something...】 【You above, I think you should prepare to eat half in advance.】 【Are you kidding, it must be because the male lead's attraction is too great, you see, she agreed so easily, it's obvious that she started "licking".】 【It's done, this way the male lead doesn't need to pursue anymore, the script should be that in the process of pursuing, Chu Thanh Le gradually falls. fell in love, but by the time she turned around, the male lead was already in a higher position, and she could only secretly love in vain.】 【The story of chasing a man and getting slapped in the face, although old, is still fun!】 I passed through these arguments indifferently, frowning and looking at Jiang Ze:

"What? I agreed and yet you show this half-dead expression?"

“Didn't you say you liked me…”

The corner of his stiff mouth quickly curled up, each word almost bursting out from between his teeth:

“I would love to die.”

I smiled even happier, raised my hand and pointed towards the grocery counter:

“So now go buy me a rice ball, boyfriend.”

Jiang Ze raised his eyebrows and reflexively asked again:

“Why…”

“Boy, help me sweep the classroom a little.”

The broom quickly appeared in front of me, accompanied by Jiang Ze with an indescribable expression, but his hands had already begun to sweep the floor. I propped my chin up while watching while praising: "Jiang Ze, you are truly amazing." Just like that, I naturally took full advantage of his "boyfriend" status in the following days. After school, I called:

“Boy, please hold my school bag.”

Jiang Ze accepted it expressionlessly, but still followed. While going to the library, I spoke up again:

“Boy, line up to help me borrow a book.”

A moment later, a book was placed neatly in front of me. Everything was going smoothly like that, until I suddenly realized... Jiang Ze seemed to be doing these things more and more smoothly. Sometimes before I even opened my mouth, he proactively gave me water, carried my bag, and brought me rice. At this point I realized, perhaps from beginning to end, the one who was "confused" was not him, but me. I had just finished school and was passing by a street corner when I suddenly saw Jiang Ze and his friends. Normally in school, Jiang Ze always maintained the appearance of a stylish young master, but right now he was leaning against the lamppost, his jacket loose, looking quite casual. One person in the group laughed and pushed his shoulder: “Hey, you have it Is it backwards? Being told what to do for a whole week and not reacting at all?” Another person continued:

“That's right, didn't you initially intend to distract her to steal first place? Why are you such an errand dog now?

Jiang Ze squinted at them, looking lazy but not denying. I originally intended to just pass by, but when I heard this, my steps stopped a bit and I couldn't help but smile faintly. Well, so in the eyes of outsiders, he has become my "errand dog"? I leaned against the wall, crossed my arms and watched to see how Jiang Ze would answer. He lazily stretched, then slowly said:

“So I like it.”

Them: “……?” I: "……?" What do you like? At this moment, Jiang Ze curled his lips and glanced at them:

“Have you ever been praised by the school goddess?”

Them: “……”

“Have you ever been called 'boyfriend' by her?”

Them: “……”

“Have you ever seen her smile at you?”

They were completely silent. Finally, Jiang Ze shrugged and threw out a final sentence:

“Then shut up.”

When I turned my head, I immediately encountered a strange scene—Jiang Ze holding a lunch box, his face full of complicated expressions. He used his chopsticks to poke at the pile of food, as if he was having a terrible battle with his thoughts. I frowned: "What's wrong with you?" Jiang Ze looked up, his black eyes shining like starlight: "You really did this yourself?" I nodded and continued to bend down to read the article. For some reason, he took a deep breath, then tremblingly picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth. Then— I heard an emotional munching sound. A long time later, he uttered a sentence as if he was deeply moved:

“This is the best meal I have ever eaten.”

Me: “……”

I finally couldn't bear it anymore, put down my chopsticks and stared at him: "Jiang Ze, don't lie so blatantly." My rice, to be honest, can only be reluctantly swallowed. But Jiang Ze was very serious, his eyes were extremely sincere: "Really! This is the first time someone cooked for me.” I was stunned. The first time someone cooked for him? Giang's family has no shortage of servants. I haven't met his mother yet, but isn't it enough to let my child never eat home-cooked meals? I pursed my lips, feeling like I had just touched a hidden corner of his life. But I didn't ask much, simply said: "Then eat more." Jiang Ze smiled, his eyes curved, happily continuing to eat. I shook my head and continued solving the problem. It wasn't until later that I realized, from that moment on, my original game... seemed to have started to go a bit off track. I watched Jiang Ze eat so greedily that his face was almost buried in the lunch box, while eating and muttering a few touching words that made him cry. Then, when he saw his eyes were red, his voice choked up and explained:

“Don't get me wrong, I just got… sand in my eyes.”

I silently looked up at the clear blue sky, without a single cloud. Yes, sand probably really got in my eyes. I turned my head away and continued eating, but the sound of sniffling mixed with the sound of chewing continued to be heard next to me.

“This is the first time someone has treated me so well.”

"I even suspected you were just toying with me... I really deserved to die, huh huh..."

At this moment, my throat choked. I bow looked at the lunch box in front of him. Um… actually, these are just leftovers from last night. Initially, I intended to bring it to Dai Hoang - a stray dog near the dormitory. But this morning it was just fed by someone else, so I conveniently brought it to Jiang Ze. After all, capital needs to pay wages, right? Use a portion of leftover rice to double your exam performance. Calculated, it is true that the benefits are optimized. The comments started to get excited again: 【I suspect he's the fastest professional dog trainer in China...】 【Eating even leftover rice is so fun, male lead, you're easier to coax than a dog.】 【This story is getting more and more strange, the male frequency is refreshing, but why doesn't he feel refreshed?】 【You up there, are you preparing to eat poop?】 Disgusting, Why isn't there a comment mute button? It's so noisy it's dead. These people were arguing all day, even I was distracted. I angrily turned the page, took a deep breath, and tried to focus my attention on the topic. But next to him, Jiang Ze's "tsk" sound while eating continued to echo. It's really distracting. I couldn't bear it anymore and tilted my head to look at him:

“Jiang Ze, can you keep your voice down?”

Someone was happily chewing rice, suddenly raised his head in shock, his eyes sparkling:

“You care about me?”

Me: “……” I care about my peace and quiet. But those expectant eyes stared at me, a bit like Dai Hoang's every time he waited to be fed. I sighed and changed my tone:

“Eat slowly, no one will compete with you.”

Jiang Ze grinned:

“Um! I'll eat slower.”

After saying that, he started chewing really... more slowly. But unfortunately, that doesn't change anything. I still can't concentrate on my homework. For another reason— The person next to him ate with an overly satisfied expression. It was as if this was not leftover rice, but the most delicious meal in the world.
