Chapter 36 Is Xiaxia afraid to take responsibility?

Yan Lingyu didn't even turn his head: "What does her drowning have to do with me? Why should I save her?"

An Shixia also sneered: "He Huaisheng, she was the one who pushed me. I didn't hold it against her, which is already being magnanimous. Drowning is her own fault."

Yan Lingyu didn't want An Shixia to pay any more attention to He Huaisheng, so he pulled her away from this place of trouble.

He Huaisheng stared intently at them, as if trying to bore a hole through their backs.

Jiang Zhiyao was still crying, and He Huaisheng was annoyed: "Yaoyao, why did you push her just now? Didn't I say I would help you with this?"

Jiang Zhiyao could hear a hint of resentment in his tone, but she just couldn't control herself.

"Brother Sheng, she said she wouldn't help me, I heard her. I can never play the piano again. I acted impulsively at the time..."

Jiang Zhiyao spoke with a sob in her voice. Perhaps because she had swallowed a lot of lake water, her voice was a little hoarse. She coughed a few times and spat out a few pieces of water plants.

Seeing her like this, He Huaisheng couldn't bear to say anything more and reached out to hug her.

"From now on, tell me before you do anything. Let's skip this one. I'll take you to the infirmary first."

He Huaisheng walked around campus shirtless, attracting some attention, and the two of them reappeared on the campus forum.

People were talking about their relationship, speculating that they were together.

He Huaisheng had just come out of the bathroom when he saw the discussion. Zhong Wenxuan couldn't help but ask, "Brother Sheng, are you really with Jiang Zhiyao?"

Although Jiang Zhiyao wasn't as pretty as An Shixia, she was still quite beautiful, and he thought Jiang Zhiyao and He Huaisheng were a good match.

I don't know why, but that's how I feel from the bottom of my heart, as if they were meant to be together.

"No, Yao Yao just accidentally fell into the water. I took her to the infirmary, that's all."

Although he said that, he had no intention of explaining it on the campus forum.

An Shixia must have seen these posts, right? Does she regret that it wasn't her who fell into the water?

If it were An Shixia who had fallen into the water, he would have carried her to the infirmary.

She must be jealous by now, right?

As He Huaisheng thought this, his fingers kept refreshing the forum, and he would occasionally check WeChat, hoping that An Shixia would send him a message.

Ding-dong! His phone rang, and He Huaisheng quickly clicked to check.

He was a little disappointed by the email; who said he should open it to check?

It was the resume he had submitted before, which was rejected. The signature on the resume was Yan.

He had long since given up hope on the Yan family, but he was still in a bad mood.

His grades weren't bad; if it weren't for the minor conflict with Yan Lingyu, he might have passed.

He Huaisheng took a deep breath. It was alright. He had already anticipated this outcome. In any case, he had invested in more than just this company; he had also invested in An's Group.

The An family and the Yan family are evenly matched, and whichever company he joins will be a stepping stone for his future entrepreneurship.

As he was thinking, he suddenly received another email.

It was a reply from Mr. An.

He suddenly became excited; barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would be able to get in.

He Huaisheng nervously opened the email, his expression freezing instantly.

This... is impossible!

He's so talented, why would he be rejected by two companies at the same time? That's absolutely impossible!

He read the email again carefully, but was still rejected.

He Huaisheng's eyes suddenly reddened, and anger consumed his reason. He slammed his phone heavily on the table, making a deafening noise.

His roommates looked at him strangely, and he composed himself slightly.

He only applied to these two companies, and he should have been selected! Why? Why...?

Completely baffled, He Huaisheng sent his resume to other companies with trembling hands.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a company abroad that wasn't even listed when he submitted his resume.

He took a look at the company's situation. It was a branch office. Although its reputation was not as high as that of the Yan and An families, it was not much less. Most importantly, if he performed well, he could be transferred to the overseas headquarters.

He was intrigued, tapped his finger, and submitted his resume.

An Shixia's apartment.

Yan Lingyu sat on the sofa, his gaze seemingly fixed on her, making her feel a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong, Brother Yu?"

"You just said you wanted to see my abs?"

Yan Lingyu's gaze was intense, making An Shixia's cheeks flush.

"I was just saying, but it's not impossible for you to show it to me."

Upon hearing her words, Yan Lingyu sat down next to An Shixia without pausing, his voice slightly suppressed: "If you see my abs, you'll have to take responsibility for me."

An Shixia was startled. Was Yan Lingyu going to confess his feelings?

Her brother Yu's gaze was so intense that she could hardly bear it.

No, no, Yan Lingyu's birthday hasn't come yet, and she's still planning her confession. She can't let him confess first!

"I'm not watching anymore, Brother Yu, I'm not watching anymore."

An Shixia leaned back, her hands gripping Yan Lingyu's clothes tightly, afraid he would suddenly lift them up.

Yan Lingyu was taken aback by her sudden refusal. He paused, his tone somewhat disappointed: "What's wrong? Is Xiaxia afraid to take responsibility? Didn't you say you wanted to pursue me before?"

As he spoke, he deliberately exerted force with his abdomen, the hard muscles pressing against An Shixia's hand, making her hand appear even softer.

An Shixia could feel his movements and wanted to let go of his hand, but Yan Lingyu noticed and pressed it down.

"Brother Yu, no, I just suddenly don't want to watch anymore. I don't mean I don't want to take responsibility."

"Oh? Then why do you suddenly not want to watch anymore?"

Yan Lingyu's voice seemed to have a magical power, and An Shixia almost blurted out the answer without realizing it.

"It's not the right time yet, I'll wait for you..."

An Shixia stopped abruptly, almost biting her tongue, regretting that she hadn't been able to resist the temptation.

When Yan Lingyu saw the gift An Shixia prepared for He Huaisheng last time, he said that his birthday was coming soon. Actually, it's still early, three months, which is enough time for An Shixia to prepare a gift.

She had only prepared half of her surprise, and she couldn't let Yan Lingyu find out about it now.

Her subtle actions naturally did not escape Yan Lingyu's eyes. Yan Lingyu knew in his heart that she had a secret. She had always been like this since she was a child, unable to hide anything.

However, since she doesn't intend to say anything, he'll just wait. He'll find out eventually, and he's sure Xiaxia won't keep him waiting too long.

"Meimei-sannei, just keep babbling~ gurgling and gurgling~ and there's a pot too."

An Shixia's phone suddenly rang, startling her so much that she immediately pulled her hand away, gently patted her face, and picked up the phone to answer it.

She steadied her voice and gently said "hello".
