Chapter 27 I Don’t Like You

The surprise and contempt on Lin Zixia's face were obvious.

Lu Xiangye also noticed something was wrong, "Then you..."

Lin Zixia rolled her eyes in front of him and said, "I just wanted to ask if you could lend me that blue math competition book you had."

Lu Xiangye raised his eyelids slightly and snorted, "You rolled your eyes at me?"

Lin Zixia didn't deny it. She propped up her chin, looked Lu Xiangye up and down, and said lightly, "I admit that you are quite good-looking."

"But not all girls are interested in you. At least I don't like you."

Lin Zixia pronounced the last four words very heavily, enunciating each word.

"So, you can put your heart back in your stomach."

Lu Xiangye narrowed his dark eyes slightly. Lin Zixia's expression did not seem fake, her pupils were clear and bright. She really had no interest in him.

He stretched his long legs and leaned lazily against the back of the chair, the corners of his lips curled up, and his tone was quite regretful, "Ah, that's a pity."

"You smiled at me so sweetly, I thought you were interested in me."

Lu Xiangye was not at all embarrassed by his misunderstanding, but instead looked very confident.

Lin Zixia held the pen and wondered how this person could be so narcissistic.

Which eye of his saw her sweet smile at him?

She obviously smiles like that at everyone, and she's used to it.

Lin Zixia was speechless. She curled the corners of her lips and said, "Okay, then I won't smile at you next time, so that you won't misunderstand."

"Look at you, weren't you smiling just now?" Lu Xiangye raised his chin slightly, looking accusing.

Lin Zixia: ...

Don’t be too outrageous!!!

Is a fake smile also considered a smile?

She took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to curse, and said calmly, "Your eyesight is not good. I suggest you go to the ophthalmology department to make an appointment."

Lu Xiangye raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at her with a half-smile, his voice lazy, "Then let's go together, your eyesight isn't much better."

Lin Zixia: ...

Isn't it just that you don't like him?

He acts like a millionaire all day long. The girls in school who have never seen the world are attracted to him. Does he think he is a heartthrob?

"My vision is 5.0, so please don't worry about it."

Lu Xiangye sneered, "Do you still want the competition book?"

Lin Zixia moved his lips, not wanting to lose face, but also wanting to see the competition book.

Her math skills are only above average in the class. If she wants to improve, she can't just stop at the textbook.

She was just thinking about what to say when the class bell rang. Lu Xiangye glanced at her and his lazy and weary voice carried over the wind into her ears, "I'll give it to you when I get home tonight."

…

Most of the students in No. 1 Middle School are day students, and very few live on campus. There are no evening self-study classes in the first year of high school.

After class at 5:30, it's time to go home from school.

Lin Zixia packed her schoolbag and prepared to go home, but Wu You stopped her and said, "Little Xia, don't leave yet. Let's have dinner together tonight!"

Lin Zixia paused. Eating again?

"Let's go."

Lu Xiangye simply grabbed the strap of her backpack and pulled it back, causing Lin Zixia to take a step back.

Wu You explained to her as they walked, "We always get together after every exam. Brother Lu treats us because he always gets first place!"

Lin Zixia raised his eyes and saw Lu Xiangye walking in front with his hands in his pockets. He had a tall and straight figure and was particularly conspicuous among the blue and white school uniforms.

The sun was setting, and the orange sunset glow was reflected on the teaching building not far away. The twilight cast a gentle light and shadow on him.

The girls beside him were secretly looking at him, with an expression of excitement yet pretending to be calm.

He walked down the stairs slowly without looking around, ignoring such scenes.

Lin Zixia pinched the strap of her schoolbag and thought, it’s no wonder Lu Xiangye thought too much, he is indeed very popular.

When school was over, the school gate was crowded with people. A few people stood under the banyan tree nearby, with cicadas chirping loudly above their heads and the surrounding greenery lush and green.

Lin Zixia didn't ask who they were waiting for.

After a few minutes, He Yan and Xu Wu walked out of the gate together.

Xu Wu had a high ponytail, fair skin, and bright features. She was talking to He Yan with her head tilted to the side.

He Yan was carrying her schoolbag, his eyebrows lowered, a smile on his lips, and he said something. Xu Wu raised her hand and elbowed him.

Lin Zixia watched the two people approaching side by side, and suddenly two big words popped up in his mind - perfect match.

Xu Wu saw the people under the tree, strode forward, and took Lin Zixia's hand, "Xia Xia, we meet again! I saw your results, so impressive..."

For a girl like Xu Wu who was so familiar and graceful, it was hard for Lin Zixia to refuse her approach. She smiled and said, "Not bad."

Xu Wu started chatting with Lin Zixia, asking her if she had gotten used to living in Rongcheng and whether Lu Xiangye had bullied her.

Lin Zixia curled his lips and answered every question.

Behind him, three boys were walking side by side. Wu You leaned over and asked He Yan, "Why are you guys taking so long to come out?"

He Yan was in the class next to theirs, and they could have gone together, but He Yan asked them to go first.

He Yan weighed the schoolbag in his hand and said in a clear voice, "Xu Wu has been packing for a long time."

Wu You muttered, "She's really as slow as ever."

Several people went to a hot pot restaurant.

The interior is decorated in an antique style, with warm lanterns hanging overhead, square tables, and stools that are also benches.

As soon as you walk in, the coolness of the air conditioner mixed with the aroma of hot pot hits you, stimulating your taste buds.

It was dinner time and everyone was hungry.

When sitting down, Lin Zixia hesitated for a moment. There were five people in four directions, so two of them must sit together.

Xu Wu directly pulled her to sit with him, with the three boys sitting on each side.

The waiter handed over the menu, and Lu Xiangye pushed it towards the two girls, "You guys order first."

Quite a gentleman.

Xu Wu didn't bother to be polite with him. He picked up the pen and turned to ask Lin Zixia, "Xia Xia, what do you want to eat?"

Lin Zixia was not picky about food. After Xu Wu finished ordering, he ordered some tripe and phoenix tail, then passed the order to the other people.

After ordering, several people sat down and chatted.

Xu Wu propped up her face with her palms, feeling somewhat melancholy. "Luckily, I don't have to go home to sign the baseline test, otherwise my mom would have scolded me again."

Wu You felt the same way, and also imitated her posture to support his face, "Yeah, I didn't expect that Xiao Xia is also a top student. The pressure on us will be even greater in the future."

Xu Wu glanced at Lin Zixia, her sparkling peach blossom eyes full of admiration, "Xia Xia, how did you manage to get a perfect score in English?"

Lin Zixia was stunned by the question. She told the truth but she didn't know if it would seem like she was showing off. But if she told a lie, it would not seem good either.

She curled her lips and said, "Good luck."

Fortunately, Xu Wu only asked casually. She quickly changed the subject and looked at Lu Xiangye with gossip. "Yu Xue is in the same class with you, right?"

Lu Xiangye raised his eyebrows slightly, "It seems so."

Xu Wu snorted lightly, "Why, haven't I confessed to you yet?"

Lu Xiangye raised his eyelids slightly and asked in a light tone, "Are you interested?"

Xu Wu looked at him, with a warning in his tone, "If you accept her, we will break up!"

"There are so many girls who like you, anyone can do it, but not her!"

Lin Zixia was a little confused, so Wu You went over to explain to her, "Back in junior high school, Xu Wu and Yu Xue had a feud. They didn't get along and didn't like each other."

Lin Zixia nodded to show his understanding.

Suddenly, Lu Xiangye snorted and laughed, "A lot?"

“But some people just don’t like me.”

When he said this, his eyes fell loosely on Lin Zixia opposite him.

Lin Zixia was slightly stunned.
