"Hahaha!!" Zhu Hao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Geng Ying turned around and glared at her. Zhu Hao covered her mouth and blinked her eyes, indicating that she would keep quiet.
Geng Ying looked away and met Xue Qinfeng's ingratiating handsome face, her lips trembling.
"Mr. Xue, I think I've made myself very clear." Geng Ying took a big step back, widening the distance between them, and said apologetically, "I currently have no intention of dating."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Xue Qinfeng's eyes, but he quickly composed himself. "It's okay, I just wanted to make friends with you. After all, it's already a great thing that we know each other..."
"President Xue!" Geng Ying interrupted him with a headache, speaking coldly, "I don't need to make friends."
Geng Ying grabbed Zhu Hao's wrist and walked towards the school gate.
Geng Ying walked a little fast, and Zhu Hao jogged to keep up.
After walking a distance, Geng Ying glanced back furtively with a smug look on her face. Seeing that Xue Qinfeng hadn't followed, she breathed a sigh of relief and slowed her pace.
"Pah!" Geng Ying spat. "Bad luck!"
Zhu Hao raised an eyebrow and glanced at her sideways. "Has he been coming to see you often lately?"
"I guess so." Geng Ying's brows were full of annoyance. "I've told him countless times that I'm not interested in him, but he still keeps chasing after me. He even followed me to school today. It's so annoying."
After hearing this, Zhu frowned slightly and glanced back in Xue Qinfeng's direction.
"He won't bother you anymore." Zhu Hao clenched her fist, her nose slightly twitching, her face serious.
Geng Ying raised an eyebrow in surprise, then burst out laughing when she met Zhu Hao's serious little face.
She pinched Zhu Hao's chubby cheeks. "What's wrong? Little Zhu Hao, are you going to teach him a lesson for my sake?"
He puffed out his cheeks and nodded emphatically.
"Alright, alright." Geng Ying put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her in a lighthearted tone, "Let's not talk about that annoying guy anymore, and don't provoke him. Although you and Tang Song are on good terms now, the Xue family member who grew up with Tang Song is practically his best friend."
"Don't make things awkward between you two over such a small thing."
As Geng Ying spoke, she picked up a strand of hair from the side of her face and poked her soft cheek with the tip of the hair. "Don't be angry. I have plenty of ways to get rid of him. Don't think about it so much."
Zhu Hao shook her bangs and looked up at Geng Ying seriously. "If you had a way, you wouldn't have let him bother you for so long. The final exams are over, and he's still hanging around you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Geng Ying's face stiffened, feeling embarrassed as if he had been exposed.
She chuckled and casually pulled Zhu Hao toward a restaurant behind the school. "Alright, let's not talk about those unpleasant things anymore. There's a new barbecue restaurant that just opened behind the school, you'll definitely like it! Come on! Let's go eat there."
I wished I could keep up with her, watching her hair flutter in the wind, and sighed softly in my heart.
Although Geng Ying's family wasn't as bad as hers, it wasn't exactly well-off either.
Geng Ying's parents divorced long ago and soon started their own families. Geng Ying was like an extra person, with nowhere to be accepted.
Her parents only spoke to her when they sent her living expenses each month; the rest of the time they used being busy with work as an excuse and didn't care about her much.
Geng Ying's so-called home was always occupied by her alone. The cat in the house belonged to her mother and stepfather, and was given to her half-brother by her mother. It did not belong to her.
But Geng Ying always pretended to be indifferent in front of her.
Geng Ying didn't say it, but she knew that Geng Ying wanted a home, a home of her own.
Otherwise, Geng Ying wouldn't have been so excited when she adopted the kitten.
Geng Ying has come to regard the adopted kitten as her new family member.
Like her, Geng Ying had no back to lean on.
In addition, given the special nature of Geng Ying's major, she will inevitably have to deal with high society circles. For the sake of her future career, she cannot afford to break ties with the young master of the Xue family.
In the past, suitors would not stay by Geng Ying's side for more than a week, but Xue Qinfeng has been around for almost half a month.
On the way to the restaurant, Zhu Hao frowned, pondering how to gracefully remove Xue Qinfeng from Geng Ying's side without causing difficulties for Geng Ying's future work.

"Hello, Xiao Zhu!?" Geng Ying raised her hand and waved, raising her voice, "Hello, Xiao Zhu!? Are you alright?"
Zhu Hao suddenly snapped out of her daze, looked at the barbecue laid out in front of her, met Geng Ying's anxious face, and pursed her lips slightly, "It's nothing."
"Why aren't you responding to me if there's nothing wrong?" Geng Ying placed a piece of roasted beef into Zhu Hao's bowl. "I've called you several times, but you haven't answered me."
"Thank you." Zhu Hao picked up the beef from her bowl and put it in her mouth. "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something."
"What?" Geng Ying flipped the meat slices on the baking tray. "The exams are all over, what are you still thinking about? It's vacation time, shouldn't you be having some fun?"
Zhu Hao took a sip of juice. "In this cold weather, where are you still thinking of going?"
Best wishes. Turn your gaze to the window.
It's snowing.
The road was quickly covered by snow, and pedestrians hurried on their feet.
Geng Ying followed her gaze and was caught off guard by a face she never wanted to see—Xue Qinfeng.
He changed the bouquet of flowers in his hand, and dressed lightly, prioritizing style over warmth.
Even though my joints were red from the cold, I didn't want to wear another layer.
He stood bewildered in the snow, his eyes searching around as if looking for someone.
Geng Ying's lips twitched, and she quickly pulled the curtains shut.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Zhu Hao pursed her lips and sighed softly, "Shall we go back after we finish eating?"
It was snowing, and with Xue Qinfeng outside the shop, Geng Ying lost all interest in going out and having fun. She listlessly said, "Fine."
Zhu Hao took out his phone and sent a message to Tang Song.
She had originally planned to play with Geng Ying until evening before going back, but now that she was going back early, she naturally had to inform Tang Song.
A sudden burst of heat appeared beside him.
"Are you reporting to your partner again?" Geng Ying's teasing voice rang in Zhu Hao's ears.
Zhu Hao's typing froze, she quickly turned off the screen, and glared reproachfully at Geng Ying.
Geng Ying was about to continue teasing when his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something important.
She turned Zhu Hao around seriously and said solemnly, "However... there's something I've never asked you."
Zhu Hao blinked, somewhat bewildered. "What?"
Have you and Tang Song officially announced your relationship?
"ah?"
"Holy crap!" Geng Ying exclaimed in a strong reaction.
People around them looked at them, and Zhu Hao nodded awkwardly in apology.
"I always thought you two were dating, but it turns out there hasn't even been an official announcement?! Waaaaah..." Geng Ying's voice became shrill.
Zhu Hao quickly covered her mouth, "Shh..."
Geng Ying stared wide-eyed and patted Zhu Hao's hand.
After a moment's hesitation, Zhu Hao released her.
