Xiao Nan was really angry. After shouting that, she covered her mouth and coughed softly for a long time because she was speaking too loudly.
Wen Mo was used to this kind of situation. Logically speaking, a boy should come and pat her on the back, just like in the novels.
"Help me get this." Qin Zhou tossed the mop handle to Wen Mo, patting Xiao Nan's back with concern. "Are you alright? It's okay to be angry, but don't hurt yourself."
Holding the mop handle, Wen Mo was initially bewildered when he saw the situation, but when he came to his senses, he grimaced and clicked his tongue.
So you're just using me as background scenery, aren't you?
If you two weren't the main characters today, I wouldn't have bothered coming along.
Zhang Xie and Wen Mo, standing opposite each other, had the same expression: awkward, flustered, and embarrassed. The apology they managed to squeeze out was immediately rejected by her. They were stuck in place, unsure whether to move or not.
Once Xiang Xiaonan had calmed down, she raised her head again with a serious expression and stared straight at Zhang Xie, "Is there anything else you wanted to ask me to come out today?"
"I..." Zhang Xie hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.
Is there anything else?
Xiang Xiaonan didn't give her a chance to catch her breath, pressing her for answers twice in a row.
Zhang Xie clenched her fists, looked up at Qin Zhou and Wen Mo standing beside her like bodyguards, and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Can we... find a place to talk alone again?"
"ha?!"
Qin Zhou and Xiang Xiaonan spoke almost in unison, especially Qin Zhou, who grabbed the mop handle from Wen Mo's hand and stood it upright on the ground to show his strength, his anger almost materializing.
"Are you out of your mind? Can't you even figure out your place?! You just hit her on the head with a ball not long ago, and you still want to be alone with her?"
"I...I am very important..."
"Say what you have to say here! If not, we're leaving." Qin Zhou curled his lip impatiently. If he weren't afraid of being reported, he would have given this guy a good whack.
Are you kidding me? With two grown men standing right here, do you think I'd let him get bullied by his friend? He'd better take a beating from my dog-beating stick first!
Zhang looked embarrassed and a little anxious.
"This is a very private matter, which is why I..."
"Screw your privacy! Xiao Nan, let's go!"
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Zhou was about to spit on the ground, but then he thought it would damage the environment. He clicked his tongue, grabbed Xiao Nan, and strode away.
"Hey! Wait a minute! I'll talk! I'll talk!"
Zhang Xie couldn't stand still any longer and hurriedly ran around shouting.
"Tsk..." This time it was Wen Mo's turn to get impatient. He shook his neck and kicked away a small stone on the side of the road like a little rascal. "Spit it out if you have something to say."
Xiang Xiaonan was also a little surprised, but she didn't want to waste too much time with this guy.
"I..." Zhang Xie began, looking at the anger on Qin Zhou's face, and said awkwardly, "Is there still a chance for me?"
"..."
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent, as if they had been hit by a group spell.
They really didn't expect that even in this state, this guy would still be able to confess his feelings again under these circumstances, especially with everyone present.
Finally, the first to move was still Xiang Xiaonan, the protagonist who had been confessed to. She took a deep breath, the anger in her eyes had subsided considerably, and she took a step forward.
Zhang Xie was somewhat surprised, but he still smiled happily. Looking at the serious look on her face, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"I'm sorry, I don't like you, and it's impossible for me to like you." Xiang Xiaonan said seriously without any hesitation.
It was as if a sharpened blade had been plunged straight into Zhang Xie's chest. He stood there, petrified, seemingly unable to accept the reality of being rejected a second time.
He roared hysterically, as if he had gone mad, "Why! Am I worse than others?"
Zhang Xie's confidence stemmed from his privileged family background and good looks. With these two advantages, he almost never failed in love, and his pride wouldn't allow him to confess his feelings twice and be rejected.
"I...I want to take you all..."
"What are you going to do to us?"
Wen Mo interrupted, calmly crossed his arms, pushed Xiang Xiaonan into Qin Zhou's arms, and strode towards the mad Zhang Xie, clicking his tongue in amazement as if watching a clown.
"Try yelling again?"
When the other party was extremely angry, Wenmo's words were like a block of ice that dissipated all their rage.
Zhang Xie was stunned. He couldn't understand why this person could be so confident, but his remaining self-confidence still made him grit his teeth and threaten, "You'd better be careful! Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what are you going to do? Kill us?"
Wen Mo said calmly, his tone almost visibly mocking and sarcastic, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.
"You want to fight that guy over there with the mop handle..."
He pointed to Qin Zhou standing to one side, then turned his head with a mocking expression.
"You still want to compare family backgrounds with me? Hmm? I dare say there aren't many people in Linchuan who can compare with me in terms of family background."
Two boys of similar height looked at each other, but their gazes were completely different.
Zhang Xie gritted his teeth and remained silent. Just as he was about to burst into a tirade, the other person pressed his shoulder tightly with their hand. In particular, the extremely confident smile and mockery on the other person's face made it seem as if they were looking at a monkey locked in a circus.
He had heard of this boy's name before; Wen Mo was the top student in the entire school, and no one had ever been able to surpass him in scores, whether in the first, second, or third year of high school.
But that's all I know so far. From a distance, this guy might not seem any different from an ordinary high school boy. But what's infuriating is that his face is probably several times more handsome than I am proud of.
"My background..."
"Don't use the word 'background' when you're a kid, it sounds ridiculous." Wen Mo shook his head with a smile, patted his shoulder like he was teasing a dog, and then said casually in front of him, "Alright, go back now, after all, you're transferring schools in a few days, aren't you?"
Zhang Xie's eyes widened suddenly, and he took several steps back, asking incredulously, "You, how did you know I was transferring schools in a few days?"
"Pfft..."
Wen Mo shrugged and smiled casually.
"Guess who else signed your transfer application besides the principal?"
"You, you... Ahhh!" Zhang Xie covered his head, squatting on the ground screaming as if he had suffered a great shock.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're quite pitiful. If I hadn't stopped my brother, he would have come and beaten you up this morning."
Wen Moye squatted down and mocked, making two "sniffing" sounds like he was training a dog. Finally, he stood up, stretched, and tossed out a sentence with a hint of mockery:
"Don't take yourself too seriously. You're only in high school and you're already talking about your family background. It's both childish and ridiculous."
