Chapter 20 If Lin He didn't know better, he'd think she was my wife...

"Host, how strong is Wen Ruan?"

"I don't know, but Wen Ruo is definitely heavier than him." Wen Han frowned. "But what could possibly happen if we were riding bicycles? Wen Ruo and I took turns riding for a whole semester."

Fang Songxia waited for Wen Han at the entrance of the community as usual. As soon as he saw the Wen family's bicycle, he waved, only to find that the person riding the bicycle was not Wen Ruo, but Wen Ruan.

Wen Han parked her electric scooter in the shed and saw Fang Songxia waving at Wen Ruan and the others.

Fang Songxia asked curiously, "Hey, Wen Ruan, don't you ride an electric bike? Why are you bringing Wen Ruo along?"

Wen Ruan was riding with some difficulty, but forced a smile: "Wen Ruo hurt his arm in the fall."

"Oh." Fang Songxia was a little embarrassed. He only remembered asking Wen Han and Wen Ruo if their faces were okay, and forgot to ask about anything else. He said in surprise, "I didn't realize that you could ride such a small bike. This bicycle looks like it's not good for carrying people; it's all rusted."

Wen Ruan nodded and said, "Wen Han was unwilling, so I had to bring her myself."

Fang Songxia laughed and said, "Of course! Why would Wen Han ride a bicycle when she has my electric scooter?"

Wen Han patted his shoulder: "Hey, stop chatting, let's go."

"Oh, okay," Fang Songxia greeted, "Then we'll be going now."

——

Wen Han turned around, and Wen Ruan's figure on the bicycle gradually shrank and disappeared from sight.

"My dad wanted you to take Wen Ruo to school this morning," Wen Han asked. "Do you want to spend time with him?"

Fang Songxia asked, "What will you do if I take him with me?"

"I guess I rode a bicycle." Of course, he wouldn't give Wen Ruan and the others a friendly look.

"No, I came here to pick you up," Fang Songxia said seriously. "Am I the kind of person who would forget his friends for a pretty face? Never! Impossible!"

Wen Han: "......"

"Besides, I've lost feelings for Wen Ruo recently and have moved on to someone else, saying goodbye to the past."

Wen Han pricked up her ears and asked, "Who is it? Do I know them?"

"It's an idol you don't know."

Wen Han said speechlessly, "Didn't you complain to me before that the person you were a fan of had their image ruined and you would never love them again?"

He had been listening to Fang Songxia's live broadcast of the building collapse, and at first he thought they had only talked about one person. But then another one appeared the next day, and another one appeared the day after that. It was endless.

Fang Songxia whispered, "I have a feeling this time is really different."

Wen Han: "......" Oh well, at worst I'll just get overwhelmed by his broken tears again.

*

Today, Wenruan had a latte and blueberry cheese bread on her desk, along with a sticky note that was clearly written by Gu Cheng.

Wen Han didn't want to know what was written on the sticky note. Although Gu Cheng's foolish words used to provide amusement in her boring life, since Wen Han learned of her fate, all she felt towards him was disgust and hatred.

Wen Han walked to her seat and discovered a pretty little box in her desk drawer.

Who gave this to him?

When Jingyu saw him arrive, he said, "Xiao Zhao asked me to bring you some cookies she baked."

Wen Han said gratefully, "Thank you."

Jingyu laughed and said, "It's okay, she didn't realize she sprinkled salt on the cookies instead of sugar. Remember to wipe the salt off when you eat them."

Wen Han: "......"

Wen Ruan and Wen Ruo still hadn't appeared by morning reading time. Wen Han felt unusually guilty; what if Wen Ruan lost control and rode off into the lake?

He kept glancing towards the door, and just then he saw Gu Cheng walking by with his hands in his pockets, his deadpan expression making him look like he was just passing by casually.

What's this thug up to now?

Gu Chengjian saw that Wen Ruan's seat was empty and the bread and coffee on the table were untouched. He paused for a moment, then left.

"Host, Gu Cheng has come downstairs."

"Um?"

He walked towards the school gate.

"He's probably skipping school; the school doesn't really care about him anyway."

"Oh no!" the system exclaimed excitedly. "He just happened to run into Wen Ruan riding a bicycle with Wen Ruo on the back. Those thugs thought it was you and Wen Ruo and deliberately said you were a couple from the old days. Gu Cheng's face turned black!"

"What?!" Wen Han said gloatingly, "Those thugs who talked nonsense before are going to be in trouble now."

He really wanted to run out and see what was going on, but the Chinese teacher was there to supervise them, so he could only listen to the system.

"Wen Ruan and Gu Cheng are arguing now."

"That's so heartless. They were kissing just yesterday," Wen Han said disdainfully. "Gu Cheng doesn't even give Wen Ruan this much trust."

"It's normal for the protagonist to be possessive, and being jealous is also a charming trait."

Wen Han rolled her eyes.

As soon as get out of class ended, people rushed in: "Oh my god, Gu Cheng got into a fight with someone at the school gate!"

The students were eager to go out and see what was going on, but the messenger quickly said, "They've already been called away by the teacher."

The students were "scared" and scattered again.

Fang Songxia turned her head: "Did you get into another fight with Wen Ruo?"

"Gu Cheng probably wouldn't, right? Wen Ruo can't even move one of her hands yet," Wen Han said doubtfully. "Would he?"

"Host, do you think they will break up?"

"Please believe that this is just part of their play." Wen Han is very familiar with this kind of plot. "They will definitely make up in the end."

Since this was Gu Cheng's doing, Wen Ruan and Wen Ruo quickly returned to the classroom.

Zhang Huihui asked worriedly, "Wenruan, are you alright? How is Gu Cheng?"

Wen Ruan gently shook her head.

Zhang Huihui sighed: "Why are you so late today? You came with Wen Ruo."

Wen Ruan explained the reason to him, and Zhang Huihui said angrily, "What? Wen Han actually made you ride your bike with Wen Ruo? Is he deliberately trying to make things difficult for you?"

Wen Han was shaking the salt off the cookies, and Jing Yu was cleaning up the salt that had popped off the table for him from time to time.

"Zhang Huihui, are you out of your mind?" Wen Han said speechlessly. "What, am I a maid? Does that mean I have to bring people with me?"

"Don't you know Wen Ruan is in poor health!"

Wen Han rolled her eyes: "Anyone who didn't know better would think he's my wife. Why should I care about him?"

"you!"

"Alright, alright." The class monitor quickly stepped in to mediate, standing between them. "Don't argue. To be fair, Wen Han and Wen Ruan will have to take turns."

Wen Han shouted from behind, "I didn't!"

A shadow suddenly appeared in front of her. Wen Han looked up and was stunned when she saw the person: "Male...Lin He?"

Lin He handed him a form and smiled, "Hey, would you like to sign up for the student council?"

Wen Han replied firmly, "No."

Lin He looked hurt: "Classmate, you didn't hear what I said."

"No," Wen Han whispered to Jing Yu, "Don't agree to him."

Upon seeing Jing Yu, Lin He's eyes lit up, and he said in his offbeat voice, "Hey classmate, if you're interested—"

Wen Han pointed at Zhang Huihui: "If he's interested, go ask him."

Zhang Huihui blushed and stood beside Wen Ruan, at a loss for what to do.

Lin He glanced at him with a smile in his eyes, then turned to Fang Songxia and asked, "Classmate."

"He didn't want to either."

Lin He's smile froze: "Classmate, do you hate me?"

“You’re so annoying.” And a terrible person. Wen Han knew his nature, then pointed at Wen Ruan, “You can ask him too.”

Lin He became interested in Wen Ruan at first sight, but everyone in the school knew that Gu Cheng liked Wen Ruan, so he had no intention of confronting Gu Cheng for the time being.

A coward who only listens to the weak and fears the strong.

Zhang Huihui mustered her courage and walked up to Lin He: "Excuse me, classmate, may I take a look?"

"Ah." Lin He seemed to only just notice him, and asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

"Zhang Huihui".

Lin He put his arm around his shoulder and said in a very familiar, warm yet flirtatious tone, "You're so nice, unlike this person who's so cold. How come I didn't know you before?"

The icy Wen Han shook salt grains onto them.

Zhang Huihui looked completely overwhelmed with joy, oblivious to the fact that Lin He and everyone else spoke in that disgusting tone, their eyes filled with nonchalance.

Lin He chuckled and said, "But this job isn't really suitable for you." He pointed at Wen Han and said, "Sorry, I think he's more suitable."

She's a scoundrel, completely different from Gu Cheng, but she's still a scoundrel.

Zhang Huihui was a little taken aback, but quickly replied, "Can I go to the student council to do other things?"

Lin He smiled and said, "Of course you can sign up. I'm the interviewer."

Wen Han couldn't stand it anymore. Zhang Huihui obviously thought that Lin He was going easy on him by saying those words, but Wen Han knew that he was just playing with people.

Lin He forcefully shoved the paper into Wen Han's hand. They say you can't hit a smiling face, and Wen Han couldn't do anything about his nonchalant smile.

"Host, who is he?"

“Zhang Huihui’s favorite ‘male god’ is him.”

Wen Han quickly reminded Jing Yu: "This person is even more despicable than Gu Cheng in some ways. You must not pay any attention to him."

Zhang Huihui was still excitedly talking to Lin He. Wen Han knew that even if she offered well-intentioned reminders, Zhang Huihui wouldn't believe her. She could only respect everyone's fate.

Wen Han took out the form and glanced at it quickly.

Damn it, this is exactly what he wanted to do.

"Fang Songxia, look," Wen Han said, pointing to the contents of the document. "Isn't this what you meant by 'after-school patrol'?"

"Oh." Fang Songxia suddenly realized, "It seems that the student council is short-staffed, so they are recruiting new people."

"No wonder he wanted you to participate. You're clearly not the type to be swayed by a young couple's pleas."

Wen Han didn't argue with him, but Jing Yu suddenly said, "That sounds quite interesting."

Wen Han said happily, "That's right, Jing Yu, you should sign up too."

Fang Songxia said with dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you ask me?"

"I'm not stopping you from signing up." Wen Han glanced at him sideways. "I'm sure you'd just give up if someone asked you to."

He insisted that Wen Ruan and Gu Cheng's photos be hung on the wall.
