Chapter 40

  Ji Xiaowan was truly annoyed, her head was about to explode! She didn't even have time to study, why did those boys always like to chase after her and run around everywhere!

  What annoyed Ji Xiaowan the most was that Zhen Tongtong always followed her around, mentioning her brother.

  This Zhen Tongtong is quite persistent, she has already refused her countless times, but she still keeps following her and coaxing. Ji Xiaowan thinks that this Zhen Tongtong is even more annoying than Luo Meiyue! At least Luo Meiyue wouldn't force her to talk about something or make decisions, but this Zhen Tongtong doesn't like hearing any words of refusal from her.

  Ji Xiaowan is now busy avoiding people, but she doesn't know how Zhen Tongtong found her. Zhen Tongtong followed Ji Xiaowan all the way to the library management office, where Ji Xiaowan was busy checking out books. She sat across from Ji Xiaowan and couldn't speak loudly, so she wrote a note to her. Ji Xiaowan didn't look at it, but Zhen Tongtong forced her to read it.

  Ji Xiaowan was forced into a corner and had no choice but to finally loosen up her mouth.

  "Tongtong, bring your brother over here, I have something to say to him."

  Zhen Tongtong thought Ji Xiaowan had agreed to her brother's pursuit, she jumped up excitedly, "Really? That's great! Let's meet at the back garden of our school this afternoon after class."

  Ji Xiaowan nodded, and Zhen Tongtong stopped bothering her.

  After school, Ji Xiaowan arrived at the back garden of the school as agreed. This place was relatively quiet and basically no one came. It was called a garden, but it had been neglected for many years. The weeds in the garden were more lush than the flowers.

  Ji Xiaowan walked a long way and saw a tall boy standing in front of the garden.

  The boy heard Ji Xiaowan's footsteps and turned back happily. The boy was quite handsome, but a bit thin, and really tall.

  Ji Xiaowan walked over, and the boy excitedly took a step forward, directly stretching out his hand to grab Ji Xiaowan's hand.

  Ji Xiaowan hastily retreated three steps and hid her hands behind her back so he couldn't grab them.

  The boy looked at her with a lost expression and said, "Xiao Wan. I...I am Tongtong's older brother, my name is Zhenqin."

  At this time, Ji Xiaowen was thinking about whether or not to say hello to him.

  Ji Xiaowan was not used to socializing, she didn't even know how to talk to him, Ji Xiaowan just quietly looked at him.

  Zhenqin smiled shyly and scratched the back of his head, saying, "From the first day of school, I had a crush on you. I hope we can be friends."

  Since he was so direct, Ji Xiaowan didn't need to beat around the bush either. She said, "Sorry, I don't like you!"

  Zhenqin's face twisted as soon as he heard it, as if he had been hurt a little. He hastily said, "Don't rush to reject me, you can give me one chance, let me prove it to you! I really like you! I think..."

  "Ji Xiaowan interrupted him, 'If you really like me, then please don't disturb my life! I need to focus on studying now. You and your sister are obviously disturbing me! My free time is not for dating!'"

  "Don't be like this..."

  Ji Xiaowan's words seemed to fall on deaf ears for Zhen Qin. Wasn't Ji Xiaowan being decisive enough?

  Ji Xiaowan didn't understand why those men were so persistent. No matter how much she scolded or chased them, they just wouldn't leave!

  "I think I've made myself clear! I don't want your sister following me around like a shadow anymore, can she?"

  She really couldn't stand Zhen Tongtong's annoying personality, and she would only come to see him when she had no other choice. Ji Xiaowan thought that if she clearly rejected her brother once, Zhen Tongtong probably wouldn't bother her again in the future.

  Zhen Qin's head hung low in dejection, he wanted to speak, but when he saw Ji Xiaowan's displeased expression, he closed his mouth and remained silent. However, he didn't nod in agreement with Ji Xiaowan.

  Ji Xiaowan thought he agreed not to bother her again since he didn't say anything, so she turned around and left.

  Unexpectedly on the second day, Zhen Tongtong led a group of sisters and blocked her way to school.

  Zhen Tongtong is a person who loves and hates clearly. She previously knew that her brother liked Ji Xiaowan, so she helped him matchmake without saying a word, no matter how hard Ji Xiaowan hid, she could dig three feet to get the person out, for her brother, she can do anything!

  She never thought that her brother's first confession to a girl he liked would be rejected by her!

  Her brother hid in his room after coming home last night and didn't even eat dinner. Zhen Tongtong knocked on the door for a long time before finally getting her brother to come out, and after asking him, she found out that it was because Ji Xiaowen had said those heartless words!

  Zhen Tongtong's face turned red with rage, she couldn't let her own brother be humiliated like this, so she made an appointment with a group of sisters and vowed to make Ji Xiaowen pay.

  Zhen Tongtong's sisters, a total of seven, including three who are outside school and have been out of school for a long time. Zhen Tongtong and those sisters were junior high school classmates. Those junior high school classmates heard that Zhen Tongtong was going to teach the little girl a lesson and ran over to help her without saying a word.

  Zhen Tongtong blocked Ji Xiaowan's path and said, "My brother confessed to you last night, why didn't you agree?"

  Ji Xiaowan felt strange upon hearing it, did she have to agree? Couldn't she refuse?

  "I think we made it very clear last night, you and your brother."

  "My brother is confessing to a girl for the first time! How can you be like this?! You don't even have any self-awareness! My brother likes you, it's your good fortune! I'm being nice to you because of my brother's face, flattering you, giving you gifts, and you don't even know how to be grateful, yet you still say such excessive words."

  Ji Xiaowan thought for a long time and didn't think she had said anything excessive last night, she just directly rejected Zhen Qin.

  Zhen Tongtong saw that she didn't respond, and her heart felt anxious. She said, "Tonight after school, my brother will be waiting for you at the usual place. You go apologize to him. Also tell him that if you agree to date him, I won't pursue what happened before."

  Ji Xiaowan let out a deep sigh. "I won't go. Can you please stop bothering me from now on?"

  Zhen Tongtong was so angry she jumped up and down, saying "You have no shame!"

  "Don't waste your breath on her! Give her a show of strength first!"

  A girl walked over to Zhen Tongtong's side, wanting to slap Ji Xiaowan. Zhen Tongtong stopped her, "No way, my brother can't bear for her to get hurt!" Zhen Tongtong turned around and advised Ji Xiaowan again, "Xiaowan, my brother really likes you a lot. Tell me, what's wrong with him? If you're willing to say it, he'll definitely change."

  Ji Xiaowan felt that neither of the siblings was good at communicating. Whatever she said, they automatically screened out and no matter how much she said, they couldn't hear a word.

  Ji Xiaowan really wanted to walk away, now that the early self-study had already begun. Although there were no teachers supervising, the class monitor would record the number of people absent or late for early self-study, which was one of the criteria for evaluating the semester's performance.

  Ji Xiaowan tried to go around them, but they blocked her way and refused to let her pass.

  Ji Xiaowan endured her temper and said, "I put my mind on studying, I don't want to be distracted by other things. I don't have time for romance."

  Ji Xiaowan's words brought ridicule from several girls around her.

  Zhen Tongtong didn't smile, she instead felt like crying. Her brother actually liked a bookworm! How annoying!

  "Alright, alright, class is about to start, I won't bother you anymore! But you must promise me, after school, go back to the old place and have a good talk with my brother again. This is your last chance. Otherwise, I'll send someone to block your way every day! You won't be able to attend classes peacefully from now on!"

  Zhen Tongtong said that, then swung her hand and didn't give Ji Xiaowan any chance to speak, leading the sisters to disappear and leave.

  Ji Xiaowan was so annoyed by Zhen Tongtong that she was about to die, and she had no one to vent to!

  At noon, Qian Tong'er and Cheng Xiangxiang sat on either side of her again, occupying the positions of Yi Ling and Ye Haoyu. Ji Xiaowan suddenly felt that Qian Tong'er and Cheng Xiangxiang were not so annoying after all, because they spent most of their time reading their own books, only occasionally saying a few words to her, but they wouldn't force her to talk or do things she didn't want to do like Zhen Tiantian did.

  Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang sat beside Ji Xiaowan, doing their homework independently. When they encountered difficulties with their assignments, they would ask Ji Xiaowan a few questions and then use the topic as a conversation starter to discuss other things.

  Because of Zhen Tongtong's bad impression on Ji Xiaowan, Ji Xiaowan thought that all the girls in Class 3, Grade 3 were like Zhen Tongtong, which made her feel quite disgusted. She developed a kind of rejection psychology towards all her classmates. But whenever Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang smiled from time to time, Ji Xiaowan's mood was also brought up by them. She felt that not all girls were so disgusting after all.

  Suddenly, Ji Xiaowan thought of Zhen Tongtong's affairs. She wondered if she could let the two of them help her come up with some ideas? After all, many hands make light work! So she asked them in a low voice.

  Ji Xiaowan roughly told Zhen Tongtong and her brother about what had happened.

  Qian Tong'er covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Tongtong has been bothering you for so long? And she also said so many unreasonable words?"

  Cheng Xiang was also very surprised, "We've known her for two years now, and she's got a bit of an annoying personality. Tongtong always thinks she's a princess, thinking that whatever she says is like a royal decree that everyone has to follow. But I didn't think she'd be so difficult to deal with."

  "I heard that she especially likes her brother, and seems to have a bit of a brother complex. I remember last time, there was a girl who said something bad about her brother and was beaten up by Zhen Tiantian and a group of sisters!"

  Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaowan's eyebrows furrowed tightly, "You guys think for me, what should I do?"

  Qian Tong'er's mind was quick, and with a flicker of her eyes, she came up with an idea. She smiled slyly and said, "Xiao Wan, you can find a trustworthy guy to pretend to be your boyfriend and meet with Tongtong's brother. Then tell him that you already have a boyfriend! That way, he'll definitely give up!"

  Ji Xiaowan blinked in confusion.

  Cheng Xiang nodded in agreement, "Tong Er is right! To make men give up, you have to die!"

  "Then who should I ask for help?" Ji Xiaowen got annoyed again. Her eyebrows were knotted into a dead knot, and she felt that her hair had turned white by a lot!

  "You have to think about this yourself! It's best to find someone you trust! Someone who is willing to help you unconditionally!"

  Qian Tong'er's words of advice suddenly made Ji Xiaowen think of someone!

  Soar!

  He said he would protect her!

  Ji Xiaowan also believed him, he wouldn't do anything that would harm himself. It's just... Zhan Xiang seemed to dislike her a lot!

  Ji Xiaowan didn't know if Zhan Xiang was willing to help her with this matter.

  Ji Xiaowan mentioned Zhan Xiang to Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang, asking them to help her make a decision. Later, the two of them made a decision for her, and it was him!

  Since she had made up her mind, Ji Xiaowan didn't hesitate anymore. She immediately ran to the second-year high school group to find Zhan Xiang.

  Zhan Xiang is very famous in his grade, ask anyone and they know which class he's in.

  Along the way asking questions, they asked until they reached Xianxiang's class.

  When Xiaowen said she wanted to find Zhanxiang, she made all her classmates in Zhanxiang's class curious to death.

  Zhan Xiang has many women chasing after him, but none of them have ever succeeded in getting his attention. Everyone says that Zhan Xiang has high standards, and those girls who chase after him are very persistent. The more he rejects them, the more they try to pursue him. And now, here comes another beauty who's fallen for him!

  The girls in Zhang Xiang's class recognized her as soon as they saw Ji Xiaowan.

  Those girls saw Ji Xiaowan fainting during physical education class last time, and was carried away by Yi Ling Gongzhu. They were already furious, but unexpectedly that woman came over to entangle Zhan Xiang again!

  Zhan Xiang walked out of the classroom door and saw Ji Xiaowan. He was really surprised.

  He didn't expect Ji Xiaowan to take the initiative to come find him.

  Last time, Xuan was defeated by Ji Xiaowan and had nothing to say. For the past few days, he didn't even have the energy to eat, and in his heart and mind, he kept scolding Ji Xiaowan, calling her a pig-headed fool, saying she had no conscience, no heart, and no lungs, and cursing her with many, many bad words! Anyway, he just hated her!

  This time, when Ji Xiaowan came to find him, Xianxiang's heart suddenly burst out with a thread of excitement, and even more strange emotions. Xianxiang didn't know how to describe it, anyway, he was in a state of extreme agitation. When he saw the boys in his class making snickering sounds behind his back, Xianxiang's heart flew up all at once.

  Zhan Xiang didn't know why it was like this! But he just flew, and flew very happily.

  Zhan Xiang came out, he pulled Ji Xiaowan's hand and walked to a quiet corner, he wanted to have a private conversation with Ji Xiaowan, not giving anyone the opportunity to eavesdrop.

  Ji Xiaowan let him pull her along, because she also didn't want others to overhear their conversation.

  Zhan Xiang looked at Ji Xiaowan with her head down, a shy expression on her face. Zhan Xiang thought to himself, was she thinking of confessing to him? Because in the past, several female classmates who had confessed to him had similar expressions!

  Ji Xiaowan was a bit hesitant, it was the first time in her life that she had asked someone for help like this, she really wasn't used to it, but for the sake of her future peaceful life, she had no choice but to do so!

  "That... after school tonight... do you have time?" Ji Xiaowen asked hesitantly.

  Zhan Xiang's heart skipped a beat as soon as he heard those words.

  He didn't understand, in the past when those girls confessed to him, he had never felt his heart beating so fast, what's going on today?

  He doesn't like to put tense and excited or happy expressions on his face.

  He puckered up his mouth and said, "What's the matter when there's time?"

  "I... I want to ask you..."

  Zhan Xiang thought she would say that she wanted to invite him to dinner, Zhan Xiang had already prepared himself, if it was Ji Xiaowan inviting him to dinner, he would nod in agreement.

  At this thought, Xian's mood flew away again, flying high and far.

  Ji Xiaowan paused for a few seconds, then gathered her courage and continued, "I want to ask you to be my boyfriend."

  Ji Xiaowan finished speaking, and Zhan Xiang's jaw dropped.

  This girl is really direct! Even the steps for eating are omitted!

  It's not surprising, after all, among all the confessions Xian Xiang heard, there were a few that were as direct as hers.

  Zhan Xiang thought a lot in his mind, he was thinking whether or not to agree with her.

  If it were in the past, Zhan Xiang wouldn't say a word and would directly frown and refuse, then glance at those infatuated girls before turning around and leaving! But now his little heart has flown off somewhere, and that little heart told him that if he didn't agree, it would be gone forever!

  Xuān Xiáng's heart told him he had to agree!

  Then, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhan Xiang's mouth, and that smile was so nauseating!

  "Alright, I promise."

  "Really?" Ji Xiaowen's head lifted up with excitement, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at him. Ji Xiaowen really hadn't expected that Zhan Xiang would unconditionally agree to her request! When Zhan Xiang said he would protect her, it was actually true! This Zhan Xiang is indeed a very good man! Ji Xiaowen happily smiled and said, "Thank you, after school tonight, we'll go to the back garden of the school building. If everything goes well, I'll treat you to dinner."

  Ji Xiaowan said this, and Zhan Xiang's whole body stiffened.

  Ji Xiaowan, what does this mean? He wants him and her to go to the abandoned backyard of the school building? And also do something? What can they do? A boy and a girl going to a deserted corner, what can they do? Really?

  Zhan Xiang didn't know what kind of expression he had on his face, he just stared blankly at Ji Xiaowan's receding back, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

  Ji Xiaowan's social skills are really bad, but she didn't realize what she said wrong. She happily returned to the classroom and told Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang about Zhan Xiang agreeing to help her, and even got thumbs up from the two of them!

  Zhan Xiang stiffly walked back into the classroom, still in a state of shock.

  His deskmate looked at him dazedly, pushed him and asked, "What's wrong with you? What did that girl just say to you?"

  Zhan Xiang shook his head and said, "Nothing! She didn't say anything!" Zhan Xiang's expression when he said this was as dull as a wooden chicken.

  The classmate didn't believe Zhang Xiang's words at all, and with a sly smile, he asked, "Did someone confess to you?"

  Zhan Xiang is now very flustered and confused in his heart, he doesn't even know what to do for the better.

  Zhan Xiang was completely clueless when it came to relationships between men and women. Today, for the first time, he had prepared himself to start as boyfriend and girlfriend with Ji Xiaowan, but Ji Xiaowan's intentions were clear: she wanted to skip this stage altogether and head straight to the main event. She wanted to do that kind of thing with him, and what's more, in school, in a wild outdoor adventure? How could Zhan Xiang possibly accept that?

  Zhan Xiang agreed to be Ji Xiaowan's boyfriend, which was already a compromise. She actually still had such high expectations of herself. Zhan Xiang didn't know if he really had the confidence to be with her.

  Zhan Xiang's face turned red as he looked at his deskmate, holding back a breath. He leaned in close to his deskmate's ear and whispered, "Do you have any experience with that?"

  The same table is also a boy, Zhan Xiang asked him like this, how could he not understand?

  The classmate was shocked and asked in a low voice with his head down, "Really? You're going to do that?"

  Zhan Xiang's face turned red, he muttered, "It... it was what the girl wanted."

  "No way!" His deskmate was even more surprised, and he lowered his voice again to say, "Then you'll have to bring a condom, or else there will be trouble. When are you guys planning to start?"

  He puckered up his mouth and didn't want to answer this question.

  If he says go to the back of the school building after school in the afternoon, this kid will definitely run over to sneak a peek. So he absolutely can't say that.

  Zhan Xiang was a bit worried, his heart was in a mess, he was anxious, "I'm not ready, I don't have that thing, what to do?"

  Xuān Xiáng didn't prepare many things, in the past, Xuān Xiáng was not interested in romantic relationships at all. Those magazines that people read after meals, he hadn't even looked at them. Xuān Xiáng always thought that those things would make people indulge in sensual pleasures and forget their goals, so he was afraid they would affect his studies and wouldn't touch that kind of thing.

  At this moment, Zhan Xiang was extremely anxious. How could he be like a bookworm? What if his performance didn't meet her expectations later on? What if he accidentally hurt her in the chaos? And many more... Zhan Xiang even didn't know where the keyhole of that small door was!

  Fine! He admits that he is the rarest national treasure-level man in this world! Indeed, he has never seen what a girl looks like before! But can you blame him? He was just not interested in that kind of thing before, all he wanted to do was study hard. Can you blame him?

  I don't know if it's still worth cramming now!

  For the entire afternoon, Zhan Xiang was in class but didn't hear a single word, when the teacher called him to answer questions, he only came back to himself after his name was called three times. If it weren't for him being an excellent student and top of his grade, he would probably be standing in the corridor as punishment by now!

  Finally, the school bell rang, and Xian's heart was racing with excitement. He quickly packed his bag, feeling a bit anxious and eager to leave. However, when he reached the door of Class 3, Grade 3, he stopped in his tracks, torn with indecision!

  Zhan Xiang thought that the first time should still be on the bed, in the backyard, he really didn't have the courage.

  After some thought, Zhan Xiang decided to persuade Ji Xiaowan to have dinner first and then book a hotel room. He had heard from his tablemates that some hotels provided complete facilities, including condoms, for their guests. Moreover, after finishing dinner, there would be plenty of time left, so he could take his time to explore and not worry about lacking experience.

  There's a saying: Sharpen your sword just before battle; even if it doesn't shine, it'll still sparkle! Right?

  Ji Xiaowan came out. With a backpack on her back, Ji Xiaowan's long hair swayed gently, looking calm and composed, with a slender figure and an enchanting face, especially those bright big eyes. To be honest, she was really beautiful.

  For a moment, Zhan Xiang was stunned by what he saw.

  Ji Xiaowan is very promising and she's still in her budding phase. If she grows up in the future, she'll definitely be even more captivating.

  Ji Xiaowan is so beautiful even without makeup, no wonder Yi Ling that little scoundrel couldn't help but make a move on her!

  As soon as he thought of Yi Ling, Zhan Xiang thought of what happened in the infirmary, and when he thought of Ji Xiaowan being defiled by that beast, a surge of anger suddenly erupted in his heart.

  That damned descendant will eventually get what's coming to him!

  Ji Xiaowan saw Zhan Xiang waiting at her classroom door early, and she was slightly stunned. Seeing Zhan Xiang's stern face, she hastily lowered her head, fearing that she would say something wrong again and offend him! Now, she could only rely on his help, and must not accidentally anger him.

  "Can we go now?"

  Ji Xiaowan asked cautiously.

  "Come back to your senses, blink your eyes, and say hastily, 'Why don't we eat first?'"

  "Huh?" Ji Xiaowan was slightly stunned, "But we already agreed on it."

  "Do we have to go to the backyard?" Zhang Xiang asked with difficulty.

  "Yes." Ji Xiaowan's matter-of-fact reply.

  "Uh..." Zhan Xiang suddenly had nothing to say, why was Ji Xiaowan so insistent? Must she go to the backyard? Did she like this kind of outdoor thrill?

  Alright!

  Since Ji Xiaowan has been so insistent, it would be too hypocritical of him to refuse again!

  Zhan Xiang suddenly scolded himself! If he had known it would be like this today, he should have studied in advance! She asked him to do this all of a sudden, and he really didn't have any confidence.

  What if Ji Xiaowan despises him?

  What if Ji Xiaowan finds out he's not as formidable as Yi Ling?

  Zhan Xiang looked down on Yi Ling, he thought that in every aspect, he was better than that man, and even in this matter, he had to be stronger than him!

  Go ahead and go! Anyway, after a while, he will definitely make up for it with all his might!

  Ji Xiaowan walked ahead leading the way, while Zhan Xiang stiffly followed behind her, wearing a resigned expression.

  After turning left and right, Ji Xiaowen and her friends finally arrived at the garden behind the school.

  Zhan Xiang followed Ji Xiaowan to the front of the garden and was taken aback for a moment.

  How can there still be a man and a woman in the garden? If that couple is here to cause trouble, then we won't be able to do it.

  Ji Xiaowan suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Zhan Xiang.

  Zhan Xiang thought she would say, "Let's change places." But Ji Xiaowen didn't say that.

  Ji Xiaowan walked up to Zhan Xiang's side, reached out and grasped his arm, giving him a sweet smile. Although the smile was faint, he indeed saw the curve of her mouth opening at the corner, and that smile was particularly eye-catching in Zhan Xiang's eyes.

  Zhan Xiang saw Ji Xiao Wan's smile and was stunned!

  This smile is really not ordinary sweetness! Zhan Xiang thinks Ji Xiaojuan's smile is something that the girls in their class can't compare to. Zhan Xiang hasn't seen Ji Xiaojuan many times, but he still discovered that this little girl doesn't like to smile much. However, today, her smile was sweet and intoxicating, almost suffocating him. Zhan Xiang suddenly felt as if something had stirred violently in his chest! It hurt a bit, but more than that, it was a numb and tingling sensation.

  Zhan Xiang couldn't help but laugh along with them, his smile a bit silly.

  Ji Xiaowan saw that he wasn't moving, so she pulled him along, dragging Xianxiang all the way to Zhen Qin and Zhen Tiantian.

  Zhen Qin originally heard his sister tell him that Ji Xiaowan would come to apologize and had agreed to his pursuit. Zhen Qin believed it was true, he was overjoyed. As soon as school let out, Zhen Qin didn't even bother with his backpack, rushing directly to the backyard. Zhen Tongtong knew her brother was anxious, she wanted to follow him to comfort him and help boost his confidence, so after class, she hastily told Ji Xiaowan a few words before coming to the backyard ahead of her.

  Unexpectedly, Ji Xiaowan didn't come alone; she actually brought a boy with her?

  Who is that man? Why is Ji Xiaowan still holding his arm?

  Zhen Qin's face turned white instantly, he stared blankly at Ji Xiaowen pulling Zhan Xiang's arm walking towards them.

  Zhan Xiang was stunned by Ji Xiao Wan's smile and didn't notice himself being led away, until he came to his senses and found himself standing in front of Zhen Qin.

  Ji Xiaowan's surroundings were stunned, some foolishly, some dazed, and others frightened.

  Only Ji Xiaowan spoke sensibly, "Classmate, I didn't tell you before because I didn't want to hurt your feelings. Now I'm telling you formally, I actually already have a boyfriend! Zhang Xiang is my boyfriend."

  Ji Xiaowan said, Zhan Xiang suddenly came back to his senses, he quickly turned his brain and suddenly realized!

  It turned out that Ji Xiaowan wanted him to be her fake boyfriend, in order to reject those boys who were pursuing her!

  Damn it! He actually misunderstood! And he even misunderstood it badly!

  Zhan Xiang really wants to slap himself right now! How can his mind be so impure? He actually misinterpreted Ji Xiaowan's meaning like that?!

  How despicable! He's really too evil!

  But that's not right! It was Ji Xiaowan herself who didn't make it clear, and what she said was ambiguous. He didn't ask carefully, which led to this misunderstanding!

  Fortunately, Ji Xiaowan seemed to have not discovered his current thoughts yet! Otherwise, he would really be too ashamed to see her again!

  Zhan Xiang's face was rich in expression for a moment after Ji Xiaowan finished speaking, and he thought a lot in his mind, scolding himself as a pig brain while also severely scolding Ji Xiaowan as a bastard.

  However, he scolded in his heart but wouldn't expose Ji Xiaowan's acting. Because he had promised her that no matter what happened, she could always come to him for help!

  Zhenqin was deeply hurt after hearing Ji Xiaowan's words, and she didn't say anything. She just took two steps back and shook her head.

  Zhenqin's sister Zhen Tongtong was initially surprised, but she instantly flared up.

  "Ji Xiaowan! How could you do this?! You told me before that you didn't have time for romance, and now you're bringing this man here? What does it mean?" Zhen Tongtong pointed at Ji Xiaowan's nose, shouting angrily. "You shameless woman, saying one thing but doing another! Isn't that too hypocritical?"

  Ji Xiaowan was truly helpless, she had said before that she wanted to study hard, but Zhen Tongtong herself didn't want to listen and forced her to talk to her brother, Ji Xiaowan had no choice but to come up with a last resort!

  Zhan Xiang's eyebrows locked up straight after hearing Zhen Tongtong's words, and he said a few sharp sentences, "I haven't even blamed you for pestering my girlfriend everywhere, but you're the first to shout? Do we need to find some people to judge who's in the wrong here?"

  Zhen Tongtong was taken aback for a moment, then she burst out in anger, "Then you can't deceive my brother's feelings like this either."

  Ji Xiaowan pursed her lips and said, "I don't know how many times I've rejected you all already, but you still won't let me go."

  "What's wrong with my brother? His grades are among the top in class! He's also more handsome than him, and he's so devoted to you! Why did you reject him?"

  Ji Xiaowan felt that Zhen Tongtong was really unreasonable, she didn't want to get entangled with them again. Holding Zhang Xiang's hand, she said, "I hope you won't come to bother me again in the future, can I?" After saying this, she didn't even wait for Zhen Tongtong to respond and left directly, pulling Zhang Xiang's arm.

  Xuan Che allowed Qiao Xiao Wan to pull him along, leading him east and west, until she finally let go of his arm when they were in the midst of a crowd. She then looked down, embarrassed, and said, "Thanks for your help."

  In fact, Zhan Xiang didn't help much, at most he just acted as a human model for her for a while!

  Pouting with his mouth, he had a very unhappy expression.

  He was actually angry! He didn't even know himself what he was angry about. Was it that he had misinterpreted Ji Xiaowan's meaning and thought she really wanted him to be her boyfriend? Or was it that Ji Xiaowan didn't understand his intentions?

  What's on his mind?

  Zhan Xiang was startled by his own thoughts! He really didn't expect that his true intentions would be like this? He actually liked Ji Xiaowan?

  No wonder! No wonder he was so excited when Ji Xiaowen confessed to him, no wonder he was so thrilled and flustered when he knew Ji Xiaowen wanted to get intimate with him, and no wonder he was so angry when he realized he had misunderstood her intentions!

  Isn't it strange? How did he fall in love with her after only meeting her three times? Zhan Xiang didn't understand! When exactly did he start having a crush on her?

  Was it when they met by chance in the library? Or was it when he saw her being bullied by Yi Ling? Or did he already have a crush on her during that entire summer vacation when he couldn't stop thinking about Ji Xiaowan's name?

  Is this the legendary taste of not seeing each other for a long time, yet falling in love at first sight?

  Damn it!

  Zhan Xiang couldn't help but scold his mother! Scolding himself for being stupid to death! He also scolded Ji Xiaowan for being heartless!

  Zhan Xiang cursed loudly in his heart, then sank down, letting out a long sigh, as if resigned to his fate.

  He has indeed resigned himself to his fate! He, who was called the "Eternal Iceberg" by his classmates, had rejected countless times the pursuit of infatuated women, but today, he finally kicked the iron plate!

  Ji Xiaowan didn't know how much Zhang Xiang's heart had changed. She kept thanking him and asked, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

  "Whatever." Zhan Hui replied weakly, because he knew that Ji Xiaowan agreed to have dinner with him only because he had helped her out.

  Since Zhan Xiang said it's up to her, Ji Xiaowan decided to go to a hot pot restaurant and treat herself!

  Ji Xiaowan took Xian Xiang to a hot pot restaurant near the school, where they ate spicy and numbing hot pot. Ji Xiaowan was in a good mood, but Xian Xiang's mind wandered, his expression worried and confused, with a sense of helplessness and despair.

  Is he lamenting how easily he has fallen?

  What's even more tragic is that he was unilaterally infatuated, and the object of his infatuation was right in front of him, enjoying hot pot with a happy mood, completely unaware of his feelings!
