Chapter 13

Shi Miaomiao couldn't help swallowing, "Are you over 18? Do you have a driver's license?"

"What do you think?" Lian Jian couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.

"Would I dare to drive without a driver's license?" Lian Jian continued.

After hearing what Lian Jian said, Shi Miaomiao patted her chest in relief.

"It scared me to death, that's what I said."

"Why, do you think I'm the kind of person who would risk my life?" Lian Jian looked at her with amusement.

Shi Miaomiao smiled embarrassedly, "Of course not, I just think about safety."

Seeing her like this, Lian Jian didn't insist, but just looked at her with an ambiguous look.

Shi Miaomiao also felt embarrassed, so she did not take the initiative to speak while Lian Jian was driving. The two of them remained silent.

Arrived at the destination.

Lian Jian and Shi Miaomiao went to a Sichuan restaurant. It was lunch time and the first-floor hall was full of people.

As soon as Shi Miaomiao and Lian Jian entered, they were greeted by the waiter and taken to the private room on the second floor.

Shi Miaomiao had just observed that Lian Jian should be a regular here. The boss even exchanged a few words with him before letting the waiter lead the way.

Shi Miaomiao looked around. The antique decorations were quite eye-catching in the city center where every inch of land is valuable.

"What are you looking at?" Shi Miaomiao looked up and found that Lian Jian had handed the menu to her without her knowing.

Lian Jian saw Shi Miaomiao still staring at him blankly, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He couldn't help but knock on the table, "Here, stop staring blankly and order."

Shi Miaomiao came to her senses, immediately took the menu, and looked at it seriously to hide her inner panic.

Damn it, why was I so mesmerized by the appearance of the man in front of me again?

Shi Miaomiao was thinking about something while looking at the menu.

Lian Jian laughed when he saw her looking so bewildered.

"What are you laughing at?" Shi Miaomiao, who was halfway through watching, heard the inexplicable laughter and looked up and couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing. I just think you look pretty good today." Lian Jian coughed and said these words naturally.

Shi Miaomiao felt embarrassed when Lian Jian praised her. She tucked her growing hair behind her ears and continued looking at the menu in her hand.

Shi Miaomiao felt that two people couldn't eat too much, so she ordered a simple portion.

Unexpectedly, after Lian Jian took the menu, he ordered a lot of food.

So in the end, she clicked on loneliness?

The dishes were served quickly, and the two chatted while eating, although most of the time it was Lian Jian who asked the questions and Shi Miaomiao who answered them.

In fact, for so long, because Lian Jian had the same appearance and name as her ex-boyfriend, she subconsciously wanted to avoid him, but she always ran into him every time.

Shi Miaomiao wondered if she was too harsh on Lian Jian.

Halfway through the meal, Lian Jian looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help asking, "Miao Miao, can I ask you something?"

"Well, go ahead and ask." Shi Miaomiao looked calm.

"You really didn't know me before? Was our first meeting really the time you were almost hit by a basketball?"

Lian Jian supported his chin with his slender jade-like right hand, tapped the table with his left index finger, and stared at Shi Miaomiao with his eyes.

When Lian Jian said this, Shi Miaomiao was drinking water. As soon as she heard this, she choked on the water.

Lian Jian hurriedly stood up to find paper for her and patted her back and shoulders.

It took a while for Shi Miaomiao to calm down.

"Why do you suddenly think so?"

When Shi Miaomiao calmed down, she felt very strange. Why did he have such a feeling?

After all, the Lian Jian she knew was not the Lian Jian in the book at all, so why did he have this feeling?

Could it be that these two people really have some mysterious connection?

Seeing her overreaction, Lian Jian thought of the completely different face in her dream. She suppressed her doubts, shook her head, and smiled, "Nothing, just asking casually."

"Are you really just asking casually?" Shi Miaomiao looked at his facial expression carefully, not missing any subtle movements.

"I'm really just asking casually. Sometimes I feel like I've known you for a long time." Lian Jian smiled.

After hearing what Lian Jian said, Shi Miaomiao hid her doubts in her heart. Maybe it was just a coincidence. She would ask 003 when she returned to the dormitory.

"Okay." Shi Miaomiao nodded.

The two of them naturally moved on from this topic and talked about many other things.

After dinner, Lian Jian sent Shi Miaomiao back to school.

After all, there are still many things that Shi Miaomiao has not done yet.

In the evening, Shi Miaomiao, who had been busy all day, finally got a chance to rest. She then thought of Lian Jian's question during dinner.

She couldn't help but call out 003, "003, does Lian Jian really have nothing to do with my ex-boyfriend?"

"Master, the system only knows that Lian Jian is a character in the book. As for any connection between her and your ex-boyfriend, it's difficult to find out due to the low level of the system."

"Then what use are you, 003?" Shi Miaomiao couldn't help but complain after hearing this.

"The system can urge the owner to complete the task as quickly as possible." 003 said cutely.

Shi Miaomiao couldn't help but roll her eyes. She really didn't want to continue discussing such an idiotic question with 003, so she let 003 leave.

At the beginning of the school year, the counselor organized a class meeting for everyone. They were majoring in economics, and there were about 40 people in the whole class. Because they accepted both arts and science students, the ratio of men to women was about 1:1.

The first task of a class meeting is to introduce ourselves. Everyone comes from all over the world, and at the beginning, everyone is a little hesitant. Later, perhaps some classmates liven up the atmosphere, and gradually everyone becomes less restrained.

The people behind introduced themselves in various ways, many of which were funny. When it was Shi Miaomiao's turn, she simply introduced herself, and the students below did not find it difficult.

Lian Jianyi only said a few words and pushed Shi Miaomiao to the forefront.

Hello everyone, I am Lian Jian, and I am also the former neighbor of our classmate Shi Miaomiao, and also her friend. I hope everyone will take good care of us in the future.

Shi Miaomiao, who was sitting below, felt a thousand horses running through her mind. Just introduce yourself, why are you cueing me?

Now, even if the two of them have no relationship, others will spread the rumor that they have a relationship.

As expected, the masses always love excitement and no matter how big the event, as soon as Lian Jian finished speaking, deafening cheers came from below.

Lian Jian has always been the focus of attention wherever she goes. She wants to find her soulmate as soon as possible. After Lian Jian made such a fuss, who would dare to have anything to do with her in the future?

Thinking of this, Shi Miaomiao couldn't help but glare at Lian Jian. She couldn't help but doubt the purpose of Lian Jian's doing this.

Lian Jian smiled at her shamelessly. With so many people in the class, Shi Miaomiao could only respond with a suppressed smile.

After the class meeting, Shi Miaomiao quickly ran to Lian Jian and pulled his hand, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Everyone who walked past them looked at her with an ambiguous expression, which made Shi Miaomiao unable to help but cover her face.

Lian Jian saw her reaction and had no objection. He smiled and followed behind Shi Miaomiao.

Shi Miaomiao pulled Lian Jian into a pavilion, her face furious as she pointed at a small stool in the pavilion and said, "Sit down. I have something to tell you."

Lian Jian still looked contented. After listening to Shi Miaomiao's words, he sat down and said, "Okay, I'm sitting down. If you have anything to tell me, just tell me."

Looking at Shi Miaomiao in front of him who looked furious, Lian Jian's expression was very happy.

Shi Miaomiao clasped her hands together, looked down at Lian Jian's stunning and smiling face, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Are you happy?"

"I have no reason to be unhappy." Lian Jian spread his hands.

"But I'm very unhappy." Shi Miaomiao said loudly, word by word.

Lian Jian pretended to pick her ears with her hands and said, "Keep your voice down. Girls should be quiet. It will be difficult for you to get married in the future."

Seeing his carefree look, Shi Miaomiao thought of the times when he always made her angry, and she became even angrier. She quickly retorted, "I'm not going to marry you anyway, so why are you worrying so much?"

"Oh? Really? That's not certain. What if?" Lian Jian's ink-black eyes stared straight at her, filled with emotions that Shi Miaomiao didn't understand.

Shi Miaomiao had no time to observe at this moment. She only knew that Lian Jian was provoking her.

She had no place to vent her anger, so she took several deep breaths to calm down the anger in her heart.

"Why did you tell everyone that you used to be my neighbor?" Shi Miaomiao was already calm enough and asked calmly.

"Weren't we neighbors before? I didn't lie." Lian Jian said as if it was a matter of course.

The fire that Shi Miaomiao had just extinguished ignited again, "I'm asking why you told this to others? And why did you tell everyone that we are friends."

Shi Miaomiao continued to ask.

"I'm doing this to make it easier for everyone to help each other in the future. If you have any problems, I'll be able to help you the first time." Lian Jian's words were very reasonable and well-founded, leaving Shi Miaomiao with no way to refute.

Shi Miaomiao heard that his words were all for her own good, and it was like a fist hitting cotton, making Shi Miaomiao helpless.

"Aren't you afraid that people will misunderstand us? Misunderstand that we are boyfriend and girlfriend?" Shi Miaomiao had no choice but to explain it more clearly.

"So what if it's a misunderstanding? So what if it's not a misunderstanding? The mouth is on someone else's body, so let them say whatever they want."

Shi Miaomiao couldn't help but rub her forehead when she heard Lian Jian's unmoved look.

Shi Miaomiao was helpless. In the end, Lian Jian finally pushed her down to the point of losing her temper. She slowly explained, "Others think we're having an affair. What are you going to do with all the girls who want to pursue you? And, do you want me to be single for four years in college?"

"Oh, I see. You've been talking for a long time. You want to get out of being single but you think I'm getting in your way. Just say it straight."

Lian Jian looked as if he had suddenly understood something, with an expression that said, "I know everything."

Shi Miaomiao was so angry that she didn't want to say anything to Lian Jian at all. She stomped her feet and walked towards the dormitory with her schoolbag on her back.

Lian Jian was standing behind Shi Miaomiao, looking at her furious back, but couldn't help laughing.
