Chương 20: Chapter 20 - Turning the tides

Jian entered the school uneventfully. no one bothered him. No one talked to him. He was in his own peaceful world. Which was great. Yesterday's act relay left an impression on those people for sure because they didn't trash his table and chair.

With a small smile, he sat down in his seat and took out his books. He started to do the math homework in silence.

It was seven-thirty and all the students had arrived in the class and were playing around or chatting with their friends.

"Do you think he looks different?" a girl whispered to her friends.

"Hmm, he looks… handsome? Did he always look this handsome? I thought Bian was the handsome twin," the other one whispered.

With a faint flush, the young girls gazed his way.

Jian felt Their eyes follow him around, but he did not react. He knew he would get such a reaction because he did not let his hair down today. In his past life, he always went to school with his bangs hiding half his face he was gloomy and silent making it hard for people to approach him. Plus, the bullies did not make it easy for others to befriend him.

The group of girls gazed his way and continued whispering to each other. His keen ears were able to pick up all the conversation.

Bian, who was close by also heard this with a small frown. He bit his lips subtly. 'what is going on? Why are people actually having a good impression of him… I can't let him win. If he shines more, he will soon be able to take control of the storyline. What will happen to me then?'

His anxiety was piqued.

This situation continued on until lunch. Bian was not able to handle all the attention his brother was getting. Gritting his teeth, he glanced at his lunch box. He subtly dropped all the egg rolls, rolled them on the dusty ground, and placed them back in the box.

With a smile, he took the box to Jian. "Grandma asked me to pass this on. You really shouldn't starve yourself. Eat well," like a caring brother, he handed the egg rolls.

The students who were looking on started to gush about Bian's good acts and his looks.

Jian sneered subtly. 'Why is this guy always acting up?'

He had, of course, seen Bian's small act of dropping the eggs. 'Troublesome guy. Not one day will go by without his scheming. Won't his brain get tired?'

He picked up the chopstick and ate one of the egg rolls without grimacing.

'it's just sandy eggs. I've eaten worse buddy, you really can't beat me with this simple trick,' he smiled brightly. It tastes so good. thank you… I thought grandma would starve me as usual." He said in a not-so-silent voice.

The whole classroom, which was focused on them, fell silent.

'His grandma starves him? Is that why he is so stick thin?'

'Bian is his brother, but he looks chubbier than him. That explains it.'

'didn't he also faint last month? Such a pitiful child.'

So many murmurs started to spread around.

Bian was shocked by the turn of events. he simply wanted to get the good opinion of his peers, but he did not realize it would have such an after-effect.

"What are you talking about, Jian? Grandma never starved us. You just decided not to eat," Bian added chuckling stiffly.

Jian innocently tilted his head. "If you say so, brother," he neither objected to his statement nor supported it.

People were still left with an ambiguous environment. The waves of murmurous started to talk about Jian's good looks again.

Bian's face contoured darkly. " What the fuck is wrong? Again and again, he is able to turn the tides. How is that possible?' he peered at him intensely. 'Is he a transmigrator like me? No, if so, he would have approached the wang family and joined them. this guy is still that annoying Jian from the novels,'

He gritted his teeth silently.

The novel he transmigrated into was a sappy romance novel starring the alien general Xing Yu and this annoying brother of his Jian. They both were destined for each other and fell in love. what happened to Bian? He was abandoned in a small village with his grandparents and died as soon as the alien invasion started.

This dog blood story did not even give Bian a proper burial.

'I will never let such a thing happen. I will take down Jian and will become the main character! I will!'

With a grin, he got up and left to his seat.

Jian watched him coldly. he saw his expression change keenly. 'This guy is planning something treacherous again tsk. One day. I only ask for a day of peace. Guess I can't get that when this guy is still home.'

Shaking his head, he continued to do his schoolwork.

Before he knew it the classes ended and everyone started to pack their bags.

Jian hurriedly shoved everything in and ran to the back door. His part-time was close to his school. If Bian found out about it, he would ruin it for him. He either had to leave before everyone else or leave after everyone else to avoid any suspicion.

He chose the former plan.

Jian ran out the back gate and into the small restaurant as fast as he could. He hurriedly stripped the uniform and changed into a plain black t-shirt the couple had given him and started to clean up the kitchen.

'I have to live day by day now. Running away really does not give me a good feeling…'

He clenched his fist. 'that's it. I'm going to join Taekwondo classes,'
