Xu Wenhua could no longer bear this feeling. Without hesitation, he broke free from Chen Mengmeng's arm and walked straight to Shen Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, do you still remember me?" Xu Wenhua's voice trembled slightly, his gaze fixed on Shen Xiaoxiao, as if afraid of missing any expression on her face.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked blank, seemingly having no recollection of Xu Wenhua. She blinked and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Xu Wenhua's mood instantly became somewhat heavy. He had originally hoped that Shen Xiaoxiao would recognize him, but reality disappointed him.
He took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice steady, and replied, "I am Xu Wenhua from Xujia Village."
Shen Xiaoxiao seemed to suddenly remember something, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Oh, you're my former cousin-in-law!" Her tone carried a hint of sudden realization.
Hearing this, Dai Xingyun, who was standing to the side, also recalled some past events. He remembered that when he first went to the countryside, he did meet Xu Wenhua a few times.
Xu Wenhua hurriedly waved his hand, trying to explain, "I'm not..." However, he suddenly became speechless, not knowing where to begin.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she continued, "I know you're not like that now. Didn't you break off your engagement with my cousin? And I heard you even gave her family two job opportunities."
Xu Wenhua felt a sharp pain in her heart as she looked at his indifferent expression.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, "If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now."
Xu Wenhua didn't know what to say.
"Xingyun, let's go! Let's go to the state-run restaurant and have a good meal, I'm so hungry." Shen Xiaoxiao pulled Dai Xingyun and wanted to leave.
Xu Wenhua instinctively blocked her way.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked up in confusion, "Is there anything else?"
Xu Wenhua could only shake his head and silently step aside.
Chen Mengmeng looked unwell and didn't say anything.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't look at the expressions of the two people. She pulled Dai Xingyun along, with Xiahou Jie following behind, and they walked out of the school gate chatting and laughing.
Xu Wenhua stared at her retreating figure for a long time, unable to come to his senses.
"Brother Wenhua, do you like her?" Chen Mengmeng looked at him pitifully, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Don't misunderstand, he and I are just acquaintances," Xu Wenhua explained against his true feelings.
On the other side, Dai Xingyun looked at Shen Xiaoxiao's expression and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what's on your mind?"
"No!" Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head. She really didn't know how to tell them these things. Should she tell them that she had died once?
"Xiahou Jie, are you a tortoise? You're moving so slowly, I'm starving! Let's go eat!" Shen Xiaoxiao urged Xiahou Jie, trying to cheer him up.
Xiahou Jie rolled his eyes. "You're the one who's a tortoise. Let's see who walks the fastest between the two of us."
Dai Xingyun smiled as he watched the two people bickering ahead, and quickly caught up with them.
The next day, as soon as Shen Xiaoxiao entered the classroom, she met Chen Mengmeng's red eyes.
Shen Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then casually sat down in her seat.
Throughout the entire class, Shen Xiaoxiao could feel her gaze.
"Chen, is there something you want to tell me? You've been staring at me the whole class." Shen Xiaoxiao asked as soon as the bell rang.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to know about my boyfriend and your cousin's relationship." Chen Mengmeng originally wanted to talk about your relationship, but after thinking about it, she decided it was better to be more tactful.
"You've asked the wrong person. My family and my cousin's family aren't on good terms. I don't usually pay attention to her family's affairs. You should just ask your boyfriend," Shen Xiaoxiao said.
"Yes, I asked him when I got back. He said that he and your cousin had a bad relationship. After dating for so many years, the two jobs were compensation for her." Chen Mengmeng looked shy.
"Remember something?" she asked. "By the way, who were those two people with you yesterday? Were they your boyfriend? Which one?"
"Yes, one of them is my boyfriend." Shen Xiaoxiao wasn't lying to her.
"Was it the person who was standing with you at the beginning yesterday?" Chen Mengmeng asked curiously.
"Chen, I don't think we're that close! I need to study now, can you not bother me?" Shen Xiaoxiao didn't want to answer any more of her questions.
Chen Mengmeng felt a little embarrassed by Shen Xiaoxiao's retort, and wondered what went wrong with the system last night.
I plan to spend some quality time with her today and see if I can get some useful information out of her.
Despite being prepared, she still blushed at his words, bit her lip, and snorted coldly, "What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? You just want Wen Hua to notice you."
Shen Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at her coldly, "Chen Mengmeng, watch your words. I have no interest in Xu Wenhua. If you want to know about him and my cousin, don't bother me. Go ask him yourself."
Chen Mengmeng was stunned by Shen Xiaoxiao's imposing manner and couldn't speak for a moment.
Just then, the school bell rang, and she had no choice but to return to her seat in a huff.
In the following days, Chen Mengmeng continued to shamelessly mention Xu Wenhua to Shen Xiaoxiao from time to time, which annoyed Shen Xiaoxiao to no end.
During a class, Shen Xiaoxiao could no longer bear it and said, "Teacher, Chen Mengmeng is seriously affecting my studies."
Han Shu looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and Chen Mengmeng, "Chen Mengmeng, sit in that empty seat over there." Han Shu pointed to a seat furthest away from Shen Xiaoxiao.
"Why should I be the one to switch? You should have let her switch over," Chen Mengmeng said indignantly.
Han Shu said seriously, "Because it was you who affected Shen Xiaoxiao's studies, obeying classroom discipline is a basic requirement for every student."
Chen Mengmeng was so angry that her face turned red. She glared at Shen Xiaoxiao and reluctantly packed her things to change seats.
She didn't pay attention in class and kept staring at Shen Xiaoxiao. Although Han Shu was very responsible, he didn't dare to be too strict with her, fearing that he would be reported like he had a few years ago. So he could only let her be. Whether she could learn anything was up to her.
Shen Xiaoxiao felt completely at ease, listening attentively to the lectures and taking notes. Although her medical skills were already highly proficient, no less than those of any doctor in the hospital, she still listened to the simple knowledge with great interest.
Perhaps having been warned, Chen Mengmeng didn't try to get any closer.
The calm didn't last long. During a break between classes that day, Shen Xiaoxiao went to the corridor for some fresh air when Chen Mengmeng suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her arm.
"Shen Xiaoxiao, don't think you'll be fine just because I've been transferred. Xu Wenhua will be mine sooner or later."
Shen Xiaoxiao shook off her hand and sneered, "I'll say it again, I'm not interested in him, so don't bother me with him anymore."
Chen Mengmeng persisted, saying, "You're just pretending to be high and mighty. You're just like your cousin, always trying to seduce men."
