"Xia Che finally came to school. Phew... Luckily I washed my jacket again last night, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself. Today is really my lucky day."
Shen Yan felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She had only one thought in her mind: to see Xia Che, give him her coat, and if she was lucky, she might even get a compliment from him.
The thought of possibly being praised made Shen Yanxin quicken her pace. It was a strange feeling. For an adult like Shen Yanxin, the desire to be praised might seem childish to others.
Even Shen Yanxin herself had previously scoffed at this kind of mentality.
But now that it had actually happened to her, Shen Yanxin felt a sense of anticipation, like a child about to receive a candy reward.
After all, this was the first time Shen Yanxin had met someone like Xia Che. He had done a good deed by saving a damsel in distress, yet he didn't ask for anything in return. Instead, he avoided her like the plague, not showing up for several days in a row, leaving Shen Yanxin disappointed several times.
Women often like being ignored or disregarded, especially the prettier ones. They have many admirers who fawn over them, so when someone suddenly becomes indifferent, it makes them want to pay more attention to that person and start expecting him to be affectionate towards them, hoping to win him over.
Shen Yanxin is currently in this state of mind.
Lost in thought, Shen Yanxin looked at the Class 7 sign that was right in front of her. Her expectant heart instantly turned into a little nervous. With her hands behind her back and carrying a bag, she stood at the classroom door, peeking out and frowning as she racked her brains, trying to figure out how to call Xia Che out.
Walk in gracefully and give him the things.
But what if Xia Che refuses on the spot?
That would be so embarrassing...
Shen Yanxin sighed.
She couldn't speak for others, but if it were Xia Che, it seemed quite possible that he would do such a thing.
Should we send someone to call Xia Che out?
But that seems rather impolite...
"How about we just stand here and call him Xia Che directly?"
Shen Yanxin let out a soft moan and covered her face with her hands: "No, no... Just thinking about it makes me so shy, and it's not polite to suddenly call someone else, is it?"
What should we do?
Suddenly, just as Shen Yanxin was struggling with her decision, some sharp-eyed classmates noticed that the school beauty was standing at the classroom door, unsure whether to go in or back.
"Hey! Look, Shen Yanxin's here! Who's she looking for?"
"She came here once before, but it seems she didn't find the person she was looking for. She's here again today. Could it be... she's here to see Brother Dao?"
"Idiot, everyone knows he's here to see Brother Dao. Last time Shen Yanxin came, wasn't Brother Dao the only one from our class who didn't come to school?"
The person speaking was the freckled boy who had teased his classmate earlier. He was laughing and joking with his classmate, but his heart felt as if it had been suddenly gripped by an invisible hand.
After all, it was all speculation before, but now it seems to have become true.
Shen Yanxin is definitely here to see Xia Che!
"But Brother Dao is sleeping... Who dares to wake him? Do you dare?"
His companion glanced at the freckled boy, nudged him with his elbow, and urged, "Go on, wake up Brother Dao. Shen Yanxin is Brother Dao's girlfriend. If you wake him up because of this, he might be grateful to you."
"Come on... Shen Yanxin came to see Xia Che, maybe she has something else to do? I've never heard of them being together, so don't joke like that."
The freckled boy sniffed, feeling somewhat annoyed.
He turned his head away and muttered under his breath, "Besides... why do you all assume they're here to see Xia Che? They didn't say it outright. What if they aren't? Then you'd all be making fools of yourselves."
At this moment, Xia Che, who had been pretending to be asleep with his ears perked up, suddenly twitched his ears.
Has Shen Yanxin arrived?
He looked up and towards the door, and sure enough, he saw Shen Yanxin standing at the door waving at him. She looked very happy; if there weren't so many people here, she might have jumped up.
"Damn... I want to keep a low profile, lady. When is a better time to come? Now... do I even dare to go out? Wouldn't I just be made a fool of again?"
Xia Che touched his nose, sighing inwardly that Shen Yanxin's arrival was truly ill-timed.
But since they're already here, and so many people are watching, it wouldn't be good to keep pretending to be asleep, especially since she's the female lead...
"Never mind, I was just planning to go find Shen Yanxin anyway, what a coincidence."
Xia Che coughed lightly, then stood up and walked towards Shen Yanxin in full view of everyone.
The whole class burst into malicious laughter. Clearly, they were eager to see a good show and believed that there was definitely something between the two.
"Wow... See! I told you! These two are definitely dating secretly."
The companion excitedly poked the freckled boy again, and this time, the boy's heart sank completely.
A surge of jealousy welled up within him, making him feel unwell.
"He's just a small-time thug, what makes him think he can..."
The freckled boy felt a tightness in his chest, so he shook his head to stop thinking about it and picked up his textbook to prepare for the next lesson. But his mind was a mess, and he couldn't concentrate on anything he read.
The dignified beauty of Weiyang School was actually taken by a notorious scoundrel.
This absurd gossip will probably spread throughout the entire senior year of high school in a very short time, right?
The freckled boy pursed his lips, a dark thought suddenly rising in his mind.
Aren't you two dating?
good……
Campus romances are strictly prohibited in Weiyang!
Since you dared to risk such a taboo by dating, then don't blame him.
"I heard Shen Yanxin was going to run for student council president recently. Ha... Now that this scandal has happened, let's see how you run!"
The freckled boy seemed to have found an outlet for his frustration. His eyes lit up instantly. He took out the cell phone he had secretly brought to school from his drawer, then raised it and took a picture of the two people outside the door. He then typed something rapidly.
"I'll make sure you don't get away with this!"
The freckled boy gritted his teeth and said angrily.
Shen Yanxin was a goddess who was high and mighty and had never paid any attention to him. Since that was the case, he didn't mind personally pulling the goddess down from her pedestal.
Even if I can't have her, I'll destroy her!
Thinking of this, the freckled boy couldn't help but let out a sickly, silly smile. Then, he lightly tapped the send button with his index finger, and an anonymous post appeared on Weiyang's school forum, silently gaining traction.
...
"Wow, you actually washed it? Didn't I already tell you it was for you?"
Xia Che opened the bag and took a look. As soon as he opened it, he smelled a pleasant fragrance, which meant that Shen Yanxin had washed it more than once.
"How can that be? You're the one who helped me, so I should be the one giving you something."
Shen Yanxin stood with her hands behind her back, looking down at her toes, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.
Will he... praise himself?
Shen Yanxin couldn't help but think.
