Chapter 35 I Like You

Xu Yucheng's face was panicked. She didn't stand on the railing to continue watching, but turned around and prepared to go to the high school teaching building.

As I walked down the stairs, I quickened my pace and completely ignored the person coming up the stairs, bumping into him head-on.

"Ah——" she cried out in pain.

Just as I was about to apologize, I heard a voice that couldn't be more familiar.

"Orange."

Zhou Yichen hurried to check where she was hit, only to see the little girl's eyes were filled with tears. He panicked, "Who bullied you?"

Xu Yucheng shook her head, pointed her finger at her nose, and said aggrievedly, "Zhou Zhou, it hurts."

I walked too fast just now and used a lot of force.

Hearing this, he felt relieved a little, touched her nose gently with his hand, and bent down to check.

In a worried tone, he asked, "Why are you running so fast?"

"I want to find you."

Zhou Yichen rubbed her and said, "There's no need to rush."

She looked up at him and whispered, "Why are you here?"

"Come to see you."

"Jin Yuan confessed to you just now." Xu Yucheng lowered her head and clasped her hands together.

Jin Yuan? Zhou Yichen raised an eyebrow and replied, "Yeah." The girl must know him.

Seeing her silent for a long time, he scratched the tip of her nose lovingly, and raised the corner of his mouth, "I was afraid that Chengcheng would be jealous, so I came to find you."

I'm afraid Chengcheng will be jealous, so I came to you. These words lingered in her ears.

Xu Yucheng's heart was beating very fast, and her originally calm heart seemed to be churning.

After hesitating for a while, she grabbed the corner of his clothes with both hands and said in an unspeakably soft voice, "Zhou Zhou, can you please not promise others?"

Zhou Yichen looked at the hands that were clutching his clothes, and heard her acting coquettishly to him, his heart softened, and then he heard her say.

"I like you."

These words hit him directly, and his heart seemed to skip a beat at this moment.

Xu Yucheng buried her head even lower, not daring to look at him at all. She clasped her hands together. She was also nervous. Would Zhou Zhou respond to her?

His eyes were flowing, and his voice was low and hoarse, "Yeah, I know."

Huh? She raised her head and looked at him again with uncertainty on her face.

Zhou Yichen tucked her hair behind her ears and said, "Chengcheng, do you know why I came to you first?"

"You just said you were afraid I'd get jealous."

"I'm afraid you'll be jealous, and besides, I like Chengcheng too."

The sudden confession left Xu Yucheng stunned for a moment. She was still a little unconvinced and raised her hand to rub her ears.

A light laugh sounded in my ears.

Her cheeks flushed slightly.

The atmosphere was silent and no one spoke.

Just as she was wondering why there was no one on the stairs, she caught a glimpse of her homeroom teacher walking up the stairs.

!!!

Just as he was about to run, he was caught.

Xu Yucheng stared at him with wide eyes. Seeing the teacher getting closer and closer, she quickly pulled away his hand. It was too late to run now.

"Classmate Zhou, why are you here?" Liu Zhengguang raised his eyebrows a little, and then he saw Xu Yucheng standing beside him.

He pointed his finger, and suddenly realized, "You came to see your cousin."

After hearing about her cousin, Xu Yucheng said: ???

Zhou Yichen smiled, glanced at her, then looked at Lao Liu, "Come and see her."

Xu Yucheng, who was standing beside him, had her heart pounding at the moment. She took two small steps and hid behind him.

Liu Zhengguang didn't notice anything at all and even boasted to the person behind him, "Your math scores improved quite a bit last semester on the final exam."

"Thank you, thank you, teacher."

Zhou Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously surprised that Lao Liu was actually praising him.

"Okay, I'll go back to the office then."

After Liu Zhengguang left, Zhou Yichen dragged the little girl out with a smile.

Xu Yucheng straightened up when she could no longer see the head teacher. The corners of her mouth curled up as she said to him, "Cousin!"

The girl's smile was so sweet and soft that he couldn't help but want to rub her furry head.

He did so.

"Cousin, I have to go back to class."

He asked jokingly, "Are you sure you want to call me that, Chengcheng?"

Xu Yucheng shook his head seriously, "It's better to call me Zhou Zhou."

"Well, go back. I'll wait for you at the door after school."

"Okay!"

As soon as I went up the stairs, I saw Lu Ran standing at the corner.

She ignored it and continued walking towards the classroom. She was in such a good mood that a smile was almost overflowing from her face.

Lu Ran, who was still standing there, stared at the figure, a strange light flashing in his eyes behind his glasses.

At the classroom door, Wu Shuo was still searching for Brother Yi. Next to him, Jin Yuan suddenly felt like she'd been tricked. Wasn't this her class? The person Zhou Yichen liked was here?

Wu Shuo didn't find Brother Yi, nor did he find his schoolmate, but he did find another person.

He said to Jin Yuan, "If you don't believe me, ask her."

Zheng Yu decided to explain it clearly to Jin Yuan, "Xiao Jin, actually, Zhou Yichen has someone else."

"What? Someone's here?"

Wu Shuo glanced at her and said, "Can you please speak properly?"

"Okay." Zheng Yu pulled her over.

The two girls were talking on one side, leaving Wu Shuo alone looking around.

Leaning on the railing, he accidentally looked up and saw the person coming. He immediately pointed over excitedly, "Here she comes, my brother Yi's sweetheart."

Xu Yucheng didn't understand what they were doing and walked over.

When I saw Jin Yuan, I hesitated whether to explain to her, but then I heard a voice calling her in the classroom, saying that the head teacher asked her to collect the homework.

She pointed to the classroom and said, "I'll go in for a while."

It was Jin Yuan who answered, her tone full of gossip and excitement, "Go ahead."

After she left, Wu Shuo saw the two of them finished talking, with an expression that said, "I didn't lie to you," and said, "You believe it now, right?"

"I believe it."

Zheng Yu pulled her into the classroom and waved to the people at the door, "Okay, there's nothing for you to do now, leave."

"Hey you." If he's useless, just leave him aside, right?

In the classroom, Xu Yucheng collected the homework and thought about explaining it to Jin Yuan before going to the office to deliver it.

When I walked to the last row, I saw that she looked unhappy, and I was confused about what to say.

Just as she was considering whether to bring it up next time, Jin Yuan, who was sitting in her seat, couldn't help herself and her expression suddenly became tense. "Chengzi, are you trying to drive me crazy? Tell me quickly, have you and Zhou Yichen expressed your feelings to each other?"

"Ah——!" Xu Yucheng didn't expect her to ask this question directly.

Jin Yuan explained, "Dayu just told me."

"Will you be angry then?"

"Give birth."

Xu Yucheng's face was filled with anxiety. "Listen to me, I—"

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Jin Yuan, "Chengzi, I'm so angry. We are already friends, but you didn't even tell me that you have someone you like, and they're your childhood sweethearts. Don't you consider me a friend? Forget it, as long as you tell me about the sweet moments you had before, I will forgive you."

"Be friends!" She thought she had misheard and asked tentatively, "Don't you like Zhou Yichen?"

Jin Yuan waved her hand and said, "I just wanted to pursue him because he's so handsome. If I knew he had someone he liked, I wouldn't have done that at all."

Xu Yucheng stroked her lips and said, "You pursued him purely because he's handsome."

"yes."

Thinking of the heroic deeds Jin Yuan did today, she sighed inwardly, it was too fierce!
