Yuan Yuanyuan, annoyed that Li Zihao was lying face down on the table and refused to lift his head, put her hands on her hips. Then she looked at Lin Ruanruan and excitedly walked behind her.
"Ruanruan, I just tested Li Zihao, and I suspect he likes boys."
Lin Ruanruan glanced at Yuan Yuanyuan speechlessly, "Stop bullying her. Do you think I don't know you?"
"Those pictures of hunky men you're showing are so provocative, but if you showed them pictures of girls, he'd be just as shy."
Yuan Yuanyuan was indignant. She took out her phone and showed it to Xuan Yuanhaocheng. Xuan Yuanhaocheng gave her a cold glance, and she immediately became obedient.
"Don't let these sissies disgust my eyes."
Yuan Yuanyuan quietly leaned closer to Lin Ruanruan, "Look, this is a normal reaction."
Lin Ruanruan rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Just then, her phone rang. She opened it and saw that it was a message from Li Qin.
"Ruanruan, did something happen to Fang Lan? He just hung up, and he hasn't replied to my messages."
Li Ruanruan glanced at the phone glowing in Fang Lan's drawer, thought for a moment, and replied directly.
"A boy in our class just called Fang Lan out; he's probably going to confess his feelings."
'Confess your feelings?!'
'Yeah, that boy said it himself. He originally wanted me to pass on the gift, but I just had Fang Lan go out and talk to him.'
Li Qin didn't reply after that. Lin Ruanruan raised her eyebrows. She had been feeling that something was off about the two of them lately. However, before she could think about it further, Yuan Yuanyuan spoke up.
"We have PE next period, let's hurry up and go." Yuan Yuanyuan seemed to have inexhaustible energy, urging Lin Ruanruan and Huo Xian.
Just then, Fang Lan entered the room. Meeting Lin Ruanruan's gossipy gaze, he chuckled and shook his head. He leaned closer and pinched Lin Ruanruan's cheek, saying, "I'm not interested in him."
Lin Ruanruan tugged at Fang Lan's hand, "Why do you all like to pinch my cheeks?"
Fang Lan patted Li Zihao on the shoulder as she passed by, "Get up quickly, let's go to PE class."
Li Zihao then raised his head, his face flushed and his eyes watery.
Fang Lan and Lin Ruanruan suddenly moved closer to Li Zihao, making him feel very uncomfortable. "W-what's wrong?"
Lin Ruanruan exclaimed, "Li Zihao, I just realized how beautiful your eyes are, they're round and bright like a rabbit's."
Fang Lan reached out and took off his black-rimmed glasses, then whistled, "The young man is not bad looking."
Lin Ruanruan was heartbroken. "Why do you have to ruin yourself like this? Wearing a bowl cut and such ugly black-rimmed glasses."
How could anyone not like to dress up? Even her reserved older brother secretly dresses up every day, okay?
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Li Zihao in surprise, "If you had told me earlier that you were so good-looking, I wouldn't have bullied you."
"But your fashion sense and styling are just awful..."
Huo Xian couldn't stand it anymore, so she grabbed Li Zihao and said, "Stop crowding around him. It's his business how he dresses. He can dress however he wants. He should do whatever makes him comfortable."
Xuan Yuanhao pursed his lips, his dark eyes fixed on Huo Xian holding Li Zihao's hand.
Lin Ruanruan tugged at Huo Xian's other hand and said coquettishly, "I was just too surprised, I didn't mean to say anything bad about Li Zihao."
Yuan Yuanyuan also chided, "What I said about teasing him was just a joke. I just couldn't help teasing him because he was so honest..."
After saying that, the two of them each took one arm around Li Zihao's arm. "We're sorry, we shouldn't have commented on your outfit."
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng walked contentedly beside Huo Xian. Fang Lan, who had witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but roll her eyes and followed behind him, completely forgetting that she still had a cell phone in her drawer that she hadn't taken.
This was the first time Li Zihao had been linked arms with a girl, and he immediately felt embarrassed. When the two girls apologized to him, he quickly said, "No, it's okay."
Fang Lan took off his glasses, so he couldn't see clearly. "Um..." He said, "I want to wear glasses."
"Li Zihao, why don't you come to my house tomorrow and I'll give you a makeover?" Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Li Zihao's face, which was so red it was almost bleeding, with excitement. Was her deskmate really this eccentric?
"Ah? No, no, no..."
Lin Ruanruan took the other's arm and walked towards the gymnasium. "Tomorrow is a holiday, and our study group needs to study."
Li Zihao breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, yes, yes..."
"But a sister I'm very close to is coming back to visit me tomorrow, and we'll be studying at my house tomorrow." Lin Ruanruan said with a smile, "Yuanyuan, come to my house tomorrow, let's give Li Zihao a makeover together."
Li Zihao's eyes welled up with tears; he was truly embarrassed, "Really, it's not necessary..."
Lin Ruanruan smiled and said, "Don't be shy, we're friends anyway."
Li Zihao was stunned. "Friend?"
“Yeah, aren’t we?” Lin Ruanruan smiled and looked at Li Zihao. It was rare to meet someone even more socially awkward than herself.
She knew that Li Zihao had always felt somewhat inferior in front of them. Although she admired Li Zihao's self-discipline and hard work and included him in her circle of friends, Li Zihao was always too embarrassed to talk to them about things other than studying.
Whether he was studying at school or at the Huo family's house, he was always very reserved.
It seems that because of his family background, he has never dared to open up to them. But Lin Ruanruan doesn't think Li Zihao is any worse than her. So what if his family's company is a little small? There's no need for him to feel inferior. He has already surpassed many people, okay?
She felt she needed to change Li Zihao's mind. "I even said I'd invite you to come to my hometown for a visit during the holidays. My hometown is in Yang Province, and there are lots of pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese growing on the hillside behind it."
Li Zihao's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Of course."
Yuan Yuanyuan objected, "I want to go too!"
Lin Ruanruan glanced at Yuan Yuanyuan with amusement, "I remember you have a fiancé abroad? Does he really want you to not visit him?"
Yuan Yuanyuan immediately deflated, "Sometimes I really hate that he's a foreigner."
Li Zihao was surprised, "You have a fiancé?"
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Li Zihao with suspicion, "You don't know?"
"Should I know?"
Yuan Yuanyuan put her hands on her hips and said, "He's my phone's wallpaper, and I have his picture on my desk too, okay?"
Li Zihao paused for a moment, "I thought that was a foreign celebrity you were a fan of..."
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know what to say; her deskmate was truly devoted only to studying the classics.
Lin Ruanruan chuckled, "Yuanyuan, he's complimenting your fiancé on his good looks~"
Li Zihao was a little embarrassed. He used to have a crush on Yuan Yuanyuan, but it turned out she already had a boyfriend.
