The School Beauty's Four Boyfriends 02
He came to demand an explanation.
Yan Xing reminded himself of this in his mind, so the next second, he resolutely pushed Qi An'an out of his arms.
Purple lightning continued to flash frequently in the sky, and the rain grew heavier and heavier, so heavy that you could feel the weight of the raindrops hitting your skin.
Qi An'an tilted her head back, her pale face washed by the rain, her eyes red, and her long, thick black eyelashes glistening with water droplets.
Such a beautiful face would be very impactful to anyone.
Yan Xingcun felt as if a hand was squeezing his chest, making it difficult to breathe. He suddenly reached out and grabbed her, pulling her away.
Qi An'an staggered, barely managing to keep up with his pace.
This area is mostly made up of buildings that are practically handshakes apart, with almost no gaps between them. While this blocks rainwater from getting in, the water on the ground can still seep up to your ankles, and the damp air is filled with all sorts of strange smells.
In the dim light, the tall, upright boy walked very fast, each step steady, splashing water as he stepped on the stones.
His hand gripped her arm so hard it hurt.
Qi An'an lives on the third floor. There is no elevator, and the incandescent light in the stairwell flickers, which looks a bit scary.
Qi An'an used to live with her maternal grandparents, but both of them passed away one after the other when she was in high school, and now she lives here alone.
Qi An'an ran off in such a hurry that she didn't even close the door properly.
Yan Xingcun pulled her into the house and slammed the door shut.
Both of them were soaking wet, and after standing in the room for a while, a patch of water formed on the floor beneath their feet.
Qi An'an was out of breath and almost fell over after he let go of her arm.
Yan Xingcun instinctively helped her up, and when she looked at him, he asked gruffly, "It's raining outside, why are you running? Do you think I'd eat you?"
"You looked terrifying back then."
It was late autumn, and she had just been caught in the rain. Qi An'an felt icy cold all over and trembled uncontrollably. Her voice was also trembling.
"You can be afraid too?" Yan Xingcun said coldly, then glanced to the side.
There was a fluffy blanket on the small sofa. Yan Xingcun walked over in a few steps and threw the blanket into her arms when he came back.
Qi An'an was wearing a long, beige nightgown that hung heavily, with water droplets dripping from the hem.
Seeing her standing there blankly, Yan Xingcun covered her head with the blanket and roughly wiped her head a few times.
"I...I can do it myself."
Qi An'an protested and took a step back. When she took off the blanket, her hair was a mess, but thankfully it was no longer dripping wet.
She was wrapped in a dusty blanket, her skin as white as snow, her eyes clear and bright, like a pool of spring water, pitiful yet adorable, easily stirring the hearts of others.
Yan Xingcun's eyelids drooped slightly as he stared intently at her, feeling a strange yet familiar pulse spreading from his heart to every part of his body.
During the week she broke up with him, he was puzzled almost every moment, wondering why she would do that.
How could she so casually toy with other people's feelings?
How could she still pretend to be so innocent and kind at school, as if she had never deceived anyone?
But even though he loathed her hypocrisy, he had to admit that at this moment, his heart still fluttered for her.
The boy slowly wiped the water off his face to calm himself down.
He stood in front of her, his gaze sharpening, filled with scrutiny and inquiry.
With thin lips, he uttered, "Qi An'an, you're feeling guilty."
He was too close, and the damp, cold aura emanating from him made Qi An'an shiver involuntarily.
"You should feel guilty," the boy said, emphasizing each word.
He bent down, placed his hands on his knees, and looked at her at eye level.
Qi An'an looked at the face so close to hers and swallowed hard.
The boy had rosy lips and white teeth, and every feature was exquisitely sculpted, yet his dark eyebrows and eyes were extremely aggressive.
"sorry."
Qi An'an didn't know what expression to use when facing him.
The things she did before she faked her death were extremely illogical no matter how you look at it, and she really let Yan Xingcun down.
Upon hearing her words, Yan Xingcun's expression suddenly became even colder.
These past two days, strange rumors have suddenly started circulating at school, saying that he harassed her.
And it originated from her.
He came over tonight to ask her about this.
"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Yan Xingcun practically spat out these words between his teeth. "When have I ever knocked on your door drunk in the middle of the night, when have I ever followed you home, and when have I ever laid a hand on you?"
"..." Qi An'an's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Isn't it...right now?"
Yan Xingcun choked for a moment, and the anger he had finally managed to suppress suddenly burst out, "Qi An'an, do you know what I'm talking about!"
Her eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't try to avoid the question. "I know, I deliberately told others that you were harassing me. What do you want?"
Yan Xingcun laughed angrily, but his eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows were completely indifferent. "Why? Qi An'an, are you really that bad at heart? You cheated on me first, and now you want to ruin my reputation? What did I do to offend you?"
Why frame him for something he didn't do?
She had clearly provoked four people, so why did she choose to harm him?
"..." Qi An'an stepped back, her head slightly lowered, but she didn't speak.
Her pointed chin and pale lips, once lovely and sexy, were now tightly pursed. Her expression was shrouded in mist and rain, dejected and gloomy, making it impossible for him to discern her inner thoughts.
He transferred to our school in his second year of high school, and she was the first to speak to him, unafraid of his cold demeanor.
She had excellent grades and always received scholarships. She was able to host school galas, win awards at sports meets, and never lose in competitions.
She is innocent, kind, gentle, and beautiful. Both boys and girls like her and regard her as a goddess.
She always seemed to have a smile on her face. Even when Yan Xingcun and three other boys happened to come to see her and found out that she had cheated on him, she still smiled gently and said, "Since you all can't accept it, then let's break up. I'm really sorry."
Every time Yan Xingcun thinks of her like that, he feels like he has a heart attack.
Her current expression was something Yan Xingcun had never seen before.
"Qi An'an, you had the ability to do those things, but now you're pretending to be mute?"
Yan Xingcun stepped forward, forcing Qi An'an to retreat to the door.
She clutched the blanket around her, leaned against the door with a defiant air, raised her chin, looked at him, and said, "I didn't say anything. They just guessed randomly. I can explain it to them."
These words were both offensive and disgusting. Yan Xingcun, who was usually a very stable person, was so angry that his handsome face contorted slightly.
"Qi An'an." He pinched her chin, his chest rising and falling slightly, but he couldn't squeeze out a few words for a long time.
She was always shrouded in a sacred aura that could only be admired from afar, but now that aura was shattered. He touched her slightly cool chin, and his gaze was unconsciously drawn to her slightly parted lips.
Her lips, which she had pursed, were slightly red, moist and alluring.
But the words that came out of her mouth were cold and harsh.
I really want to bite her hard.
Once this idea took root in the boy's mind, it burned like wildfire.
His gaze hardened, becoming impulsive, and he stiffly lowered his head—
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, the door behind Qi An'an was pounded loudly!
She was leaning against the door when the noise startled her, so she quickly lunged forward and crashed into Yan Xingcun's arms.
Her body was soft and petite, and cool to the touch.
Yan Xingcun's throat tightened, and his first instinct was to comfort her.
Just like we were on the side of the road just now.
However, his hand ultimately remained suspended behind her back, without touching her.
"Yan Xingcun, I know you're here, open the door!"
Through the iron gate, Ji Yu's slightly irritable voice could be heard from outside.
If Yan Xingcun could still reason with people, then Ji Yu was a typical stubborn person. When he was in a good mood, he was like a docile big dog, but once he became extreme, he was an untamed wild wolf.
Ji Yu is currently in the latter state.
He desperately wanted positive feedback from Qi An'an, and his request was simple—he didn't want to break up with her; he just wanted her to cut off all her relationships with other guys.
Hearing his voice only made Qi An'an feel even more overwhelmed.
It was already late at night, and the building wasn't very soundproof.
This floor is inhabited by elderly people who don't sleep well. She was afraid that Ji Yu would make too much noise, so she immediately turned around to open the door.
Yan Xingcun gritted his teeth, gripping her arm tightly, his voice sinister as he spoke in her ear, "Qi An'an, are you in such a hurry?"
"No, I'm afraid he'll disturb other people's sleep..."
Qi An'an got anxious and quickly tried to explain.
Then she heard Ji Yu outside the door coldly question, "Qi An'an, did you say I was noisy?"
Qi An'an: "I'm not..."
Yan Xingcun released her hand expressionlessly.
Qi An'an then quietly opened the door.
Ji Yu suddenly pushed the door open.
Qi An'an almost got hit by the door, but Yan Xingcun reacted quickly and grabbed her shoulders to pull her back.
When the door opened, Ji Yu saw the girl being dragged into the boy's arms.
The tall, black-clad young man, sporting a neat buzz cut and a fierce look in his eyes, stood at the door like a black-faced god. At this moment, his face suddenly darkened, and his aura turned icy.
Ji Yu's gaze met Yan Xingcun's, and in a flash, the old and cramped living room was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Qi An'an realized what was happening and quickly moved two steps away from Yan Xingcun.
Ji Yu glanced at her actions to avoid suspicion, his expression softened slightly, and he strode in, closing the door behind him.
However, Xingcun's expression instantly turned gloomy.
Ji Yu had obviously been caught in the rain; his clothes were still dripping wet, and his sneakers left watermarks wherever they had walked.
His gaze locked onto Qi An'an, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Qi An'an, didn't you say we couldn't bring boys in?"
Qi An'an recalled that she had indeed said such a thing.
She glanced around. "So... are you leaving now?"
"..."
"..."
Ji Yu snorted coldly, "You wish!"
He grabbed her arm, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "Qi An'an, what exactly do you want to do?"
Ji Yu had naturally heard the rumors about Yan Xingcun at school.
Why should she attribute what he did to Yan Xingcun?
Does she have some other thoughts about Yan Xingcun?
Qi An'an pondered for a moment, appearing calm on the surface, but in reality, alarm bells were ringing wildly in her mind.
She and Ji Yu were in the same class, while Yan Xingcun transferred in later.
Ji Yu is easy to win over. Qi An'an only created opportunities to share an umbrella with him and picked up his basketball twice, but he fell in love with her unilaterally and was completely smitten.
But he was indeed the most difficult to deal with.
After all three of her boyfriends, including Yan Xingcun, tacitly agreed to break up, Ji Yu became extremely extreme after a night of silence, harassing her every day.
However, Qi An'an was not afraid that he would hurt her, and she took the opportunity to frame Yan Xingcun for what he had done, making the classmates think that Yan Xingcun was a pervert.
In this way, the more Yan Xingcun liked her back then, the more he will hate her now...
Well, she never expected to have to come back to this world.
She can only find an excuse to justify her previous behavior.
Qi An'an calmly said to Ji Yu, "I've already told Yan Xingcun that I was just saying it casually. People are just overthinking things. I'll explain it to everyone. But Ji Yu, please stop bothering me. We've already broken up."
Ji Yu didn't care about the messy gossip people were talking about. All he heard was her last sentence, "You say you want to break up, so I have to agree? Qi An'an, don't even think about it!"
His gaze suddenly shot to Yan Xingcun, "Yan Xingcun, do you still want to compete with me?"
Because of the presence of a third person, Yan Xingcun had regained his senses. At this moment, he exuded an aura of detachment and indifference. He stared at Qi An'an and said clearly, word by word, "You'd better explain things to everyone as soon as possible."
Ji Yu scoffed, "She doesn't need to explain that. It was something I did, and I'll admit it myself."
Qi An'an: "..."
Ji Yu directly gave her the order to leave, "Yan Xingcun, you can get out now."
Yan Xingcun frowned slightly, but remained silent.
At the same time, the atmosphere inside the room suddenly froze.
Qi An'an was used to seeing chaotic scenes like this. She said to Ji Yu, "You should leave too. I need to rest."
After she finished speaking, her nose felt slightly itchy, and she sneezed.
Ji Yu's face was cold as he glanced at her damp hair, but he said nothing.
Yan Xingcun remained silent and walked towards the door.
"Go take a shower quickly, I'll pick you up from school tomorrow." Ji Yu's tone left no room for argument.
Qi An'an softly replied, "Okay."
Yan Xingcun's back stiffened slightly, and he suddenly pulled the door open with a soft sound.
"I'm leaving now." Ji Yu was comforted by Qi An'an's attitude and became more agreeable.
Qi An'an nodded, but then suddenly said to the two of them, "Wait a minute."
Ji Yu looked down at her, and even Yan Xingcun at the door turned around, a hint of expectation that he himself did not realize appeared in his dark eyes.
Qi An'an looked at the large puddle of water on the floor and said matter-of-factly, "Mop the water off the floor before you leave."
"..."
