The Foolish Bookworm of the Aristocratic Boys’ School chapter 118

Chapter 118: Lin Jinghang’s Diary

July 2021

The High School Entrance Exam results are out, and my dad’s business networking banquets have begun.

He placed brochures for three high schools in front of me and told me to take my pick. It didn’t matter if my score was high enough; as long as I wanted to go, he could make it happen.

I chose City No. 1 High School because the girl I like is going there.

September 2021

School started. I met a country bumpkin.

Who even uses a snakeskin bag these days?

I heard he has no parents.

October 2021

Questioning my existence.

Just why?

Where the hell am I inferior to that hick? Why does she like him and not me?

I’m going to duel him.

November 2021

Ha, how underhanded. Since he couldn’t beat me, he called the police.

What an idiot. My old man has money.

December 2021

I suddenly realized that the country bumpkin is actually a pretty good guy.

January 2023

Holy crap. What kind of monster is he? He’s ten points ahead of second place.

February 2023

Being at home is so boring. I heard the elite class is still having lessons at school. I wonder if I can see Wen Rong if I go to school.

March 2023

School started. Wen Rong brought that snakeskin bag of his again. It’s so ugly. Did the orphanage not give him any New Year’s money?

April 2023

I don’t know why, but it seems like he’s always alone. No one even walks with him during morning exercises.

April 2023

Dammit! When the hell did I ever say I’d beat up anyone who spoke to Wen Rong? Who is slandering me?

May 2023

Why is he so hard to please? He won’t accept an apology, he won’t take money, and he won’t even let me treat him to a meal.

June 2023

Holy, holy, holy crap. I saw real-life gay people.

July 2023

Why are only the students in the elite class allowed into the school? Am I not a student too?

I’m going to make my dad transfer me into the elite class.

Of course, it’s so I can pursue the girl I like from up close.

September 2023

I cleared up the rumors, so why is no one talking to Wen Rong yet?

October 2023

I never intended to have everyone isolate him. Why does no one believe me?

Whatever. I’m a man; who hasn’t been misunderstood before?

November 2023

The girl I like is preparing to go abroad.

I’ll go next year, too.

December 31, 2023

Everyone else snuck out during evening self-study to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Wen Rong was the only one in the classroom.

He’s been in the elite class for half a year, and Wen Rong has sat in that same spot almost the entire time.

Holy f***ing hell. I only remembered they asked me to go out for karaoke after I got home.

January 2024

Finally, it’s my turn to be allowed through the school gates during the holidays!

The teacher handed out twenty sets of practice exams and told us to finish them in a week. One week!

This is too hard! I don’t know how to do them.

February 2024

The teacher said we’re forming “study-buddy” pairs and grouped me with Wen Rong.

Even though it was my dad’s suggestion to the teacher, I’ll pretend I don’t know to give Wen Rong a surprise.

February 2024

What the hell. I never realized Wen Rong was so sharp-tongued before; he actually left the teacher speechless.

Am I really that annoying? Why is he so unwilling to study with me?

Just you wait. I’ll study for a few months and snatch first place in the whole school to shock you to death.

Crap. Why is it that after working hard for so long, my ranking actually dropped instead of rising?

July 2024

My dad saw that I’m not cut out for the “single-plank bridge” of the Gaokao and told me to prepare to go abroad.

September 2024

I’ve started taking intensive English lessons, so I can’t go to school. I heard Wen Rong was first in the joint mock exams again. Badass.

December 31, 2024

I went back to school. A lot of people came to chat with me—except for Wen Rong.

I didn’t want to go to karaoke with them, but since Wen Rong wouldn’t even spare me a glance, I decided to go.

February 2025

There are 100 days left until the Gaokao. I went back to school again.

I didn’t see Wen Rong this time. The teacher said he was on sick leave.

Did he go to the hospital alone?

Why are there so many people at the hospital? I didn’t see Wen Rong in the emergency room.

June 2025

Holy sh*t! Wen Rong is incredible. He’s the top scorer in the entire province.

I wonder if England is any fun.

Why are there gay people everywhere here???

June 2025

Was that… an earthquake?

June 3025

It’s been a week since I transmigrated to this post-apocalyptic world. Survival is a bit difficult. I wonder if Wen Rong transmigrated like I did.

The guy next door is pretty decent. He gave me a lot of compressed biscuits.

June 3030

The big brother was bitten by a zombie. I drove to City A and met Li Zhaoyang.

He’s weak, cowardly, and stupid, but he looks a bit like Wen Rong.

July 3030

Li Zhaoyang is different from Wen Rong. Wen Rong is the type of person who would absolutely never say the word “give up.”

We met a small team. Everyone seems quite nice.

August 3030

The captain got infected and bit the others. Only Li Zhaoyang and I are left.

January 3031

A few interesting brothers joined the team, and we found a warehouse where we can spend the winter comfortably.

February 3031

I had to blow the heads off a few of the brothers. Once again, it’s just me and Li Zhaoyang.

It’s so boring. I’ve started telling Li Zhaoyang stories about Wen Rong and me.

March 3031

Li Zhaoyang says that from Wen Rong’s perspective, I was a terrorist.

I suppose I was.

I was young back then and didn’t realize that my actions would have such severe consequences.

April 3033

Did Wen Rong not transmigrate to China? Why can’t I find him?

December 3034

Did Wen Rong not transmigrate to this world at all?

January 3040

As expected, Wen Rong isn’t in this world.

February 3040

I almost killed Li Zhaoyang by mistake.

But maybe I should kill him. I always feel like the way he looks at me isn’t right, like he could betray me at any moment.

March 3040

Li Zhaoyang says my mental state is deteriorating.

So what? Living in fear every day, being terrified by zombies, and having to kill living people to snatch supplies… if I were still normal, that would be the biggest abnormality of all.

December 3041

Good grief, is this a movie? There’s actually a company manufacturing zombies.

Am I supposed to be the savior of the world or something?

January 3042

More people died.

June 3045

I managed to find a mirror against all odds. I don’t even f***ing recognize this face anymore.

Would Wen Rong even be able to recognize me?

July 3045

I gave all the points I saved up from killing zombies to Li Zhaoyang so he could help me find Wen Rong.

His character is decent enough; he should be able to go to the same world as Wen Rong.
