Mo Jingchun clenched his fists tightly and forced himself to calm down. He sat there waiting for Jiang Li's answer.
For a moment, both Zhu Hong and Mo Jingchun felt anxious. One of them still had illusions in his heart, while the other was afraid that Jiang Li would agree.
Perhaps it was the coldness emanating from Jiang Li that spread throughout Class 407. The crowd that had been making a fuss earlier shut up one after another. The classroom became unusually quiet, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes turned to Jiang Li, who was sitting in the corner.
Outside the window, the summer cicadas, scorched by the sun, are opening their mouths with all their might, making bursts of hoarse sounds, which are particularly clear in this silent classroom.
Zhu Hong swallowed nervously, waiting for Jiang Li's answer.
Jiang Li raised his eyes. There was not a trace of color flowing in his dark eyes that were as dark as a pool of water, as if the frost in the severe winter had frozen the surface of the water.
Jiang Li's eyelids twitched and his body trembled slightly.
This is her bottom line, and no one can violate it, not even her best friends.
After a brief period of calm, Jiang Li pulled out his stool and stood up from his seat.
Jiang Li exuded an aggressive aura, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to turn into substance.
Jiang Li ignored the heat in Zhu Hong's eyes. She reached out her hand lightly, grabbed the rose and held it in her palm.
Zhu Hong's eyes opened wide, revealing an ecstatic look, "Jiang Li, you..."
Seeing this, Mo Jingchun became a little restless. Did Jiang Li agree?
Just when Mo Jingchun was about to stand up, Jiang Li stretched out a finger and pinched the rose in the middle. Then there was a click and the rose was broken into two pieces.
The air circulating in the classroom seemed to stagnate at this moment, and the faces of the people who were watching were all filled with embarrassment.
Jiang Li placed the rose that had been broken into two pieces on the table, clearly showing his attitude.
She did not agree with Zhu Hong's confession, but chose to reject it.
Mo Jingchun breathed a sigh of relief. Half of his butt had left the stool, but now he sat back down.
Mo Jingchun's heart was beating very fast. The moment Jiang Li picked up the rose, he almost yelled.
Mo Jingchun raised his head, looked at Jiang Li's thin back, opened his mouth, but did not speak.
"Um."
Zhu Hongxu had already expected this outcome. His face did not show too much sadness, but he was ready to leave with a smile.
"Jiang Li, I know you may not want to listen to me, but I still want to say thank you for appearing in my youth."
Zhu Hong felt relieved after he finished speaking his true feelings. He remembered that he had lost his mind due to jealousy and chose to spread rumors.
With a hint of guilt on his face, he took a step back and bowed deeply to Jiang Li.
"sorry."
There was a long silence in the classroom.
Mo Jingchun stood up from his seat, his peach blossom eyes flashing with an inscrutable meaning.
"Clang."
A crisp collision sound broke the silence in the classroom. Jiang Li pushed away the stool beside him and walked out of Class 407's classroom through the back door.
Seeing this, Mo Jingchun hurriedly chased after him.
It was not until Jiang Li and Mo Jingchun left for a while that the atmosphere in the classroom became lively again.
"Zhu Hong is really something. I didn't expect you to have a crush on Jiang Li." Ah Shuo put his arm around Zhu Hong's shoulders. "It doesn't matter if your confession failed. Come on, I'll take you out to relax."
Zhu Hong looked at his friends around him and smiled with relief. He nodded and left the classroom with them.
Because of what just happened, the other people in Class 407 also left. Class 407, which was very lively not long ago, has now gradually become quiet.
Senior year of high school ends at this moment in midsummer.
"Jiang Li, are you okay?"
Mo Jingchun stretched out his long legs and immediately stood in front of Jiang Li. When he saw Jiang Li's reaction when someone confessed to her, Mo Jingchun's face showed some worry.
The heart firmly embedded in his chest was still beating strongly. The restlessness made Mo Jingchun restless. This sudden confession also caused ripples in his heart.
"Huh...I'm fine."
Jiang Li let out a long breath and a stiff smile appeared on his face.
"I……"
Mo Jingchun was speechless for a moment. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed Jiang Li's thin shoulder, a look of struggle appearing on his face.
It was already afternoon at this moment, the sun was glaring outside, and the tall buildings standing in the middle created patches of shadows.
At a corner inside the building, two young men and women were standing. They didn't speak to each other and seemed to have their own thoughts.
"Mo Jingchun!"
Jiang Li suddenly raised his voice to break the silence, his black eyes staring straight at Mo Jingchun in front of him.
Being stared at by such a pair of bright and deep eyes, Mo Jingchun felt as if all his thoughts were known to them.
Mo Jingchun turned her head away and stopped looking at Jiang Li. She was a girl who was too smart, and Jiang Li had told her so a long time ago.
Jiang Li lowered his head, retracted his gaze, and walked sideways to the side.
"Teacher Liu is still waiting for me. Mo Jingchun, if you'd like, please wait for me here."
Jiang Li walked towards Teacher Liu's office, leaving Mo Jingchun alone.
Mo Jingchun looked struggling, but in the end he gradually became determined. He was not afraid of Jiang Li's rejection, but only afraid of his own weakness.
