Chapter 16 He Xilou holds her hand
"You still don't admit it?" Lu Shijie raised his voice and moved his phone closer to show him.
He Xilou lowered his eyes and saw the picture of the princess hug at a glance.
The little girl in the picture was leaning against him weakly, her face hidden by her military training cap, while his hand was around her waist.
Due to the shooting angle, the two people appear to be very close and particularly ambiguous.
At this time, Meng Huaili finished his phone call and walked in from the balcony.
Lu Shijie rushed over, wanting to cry but unable to: "Mr. Chairman, Mr. Judge, please forgive me! He hooked up with a freshman girl in the West Building, and everyone on the forum is saying he's a playboy. Our dormitory's reputation is going to be ruined, wuwuwu..."
Oh, except for Meng Huaili's reputation. The emperor was well-known for his aloofness from women and his integrity.
What would Lu Shijie do then? From now on, other girls would probably be scared away when they heard that he and He Xilou were friends.
Lu Shijie was crying.
Meng Huaili was wearing a white T-shirt, exuding a faint sense of coolness. Hearing this, his eyebrows moved slightly.
Of course he knew about these things about He Xilou, but most of them were initiated by girls. During the relationship, Xilou would not take the next step, let alone cheat. Instead, she spent a lot of money and gave her various brand-name bags without even blinking an eye.
It's a matter between adults, and they both agree to it. What can you do about it?
Meng Huaili paused and said, "It's okay as long as she's not my sister."
He Xilou sneered.
He slowly withdrew his gaze from the photo and glanced at Meng Huaili, who was unaware of the truth. The corners of his lips unconsciously raised in a malicious arc.
It's broken.
She's really your sister...
Meng Shiyi didn't expect it would be so dangerous to be around He Xilou, as she was being secretly photographed from time to time.
I'm really lucky I didn't capture her face.
For the next three days, Meng Shiyi's classes were almost full.
It was Friday, and the get out of class ended at 8:30 in the evening, and it was already dark.
The crowd in front formed a big circle, which was so crowded that no one could get through. They seemed to be waiting for something.
I don’t know what new activities are going on in school.
Meng Shiyi had no intention of joining in the fun, but this road was the only way to the dormitory, so she walked forward carefully with her book in her arms.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Here they come!"
In an instant, everyone looked up suddenly, their eyes fell on Meng Shiyi's face, and they automatically made way for her.
People kept pushing and crowding her from behind.
Meng Shiyi was caught off guard and stood in the center of the circle.
In front of me are candles arranged in the shape of a heart.
The candlelight flickered and sparkled, casting an ambiguous and hazy orange light around.
Cheng Yu held a bouquet of red roses in his hand and kept approaching her:
"Meng Shiyi, I know you have a good impression of me, and so do I."
Meng Shiyi: “?”
Cheng Yu talked incessantly, his voice loud enough for everyone around to hear:
"From the moment I bumped into you at school, I was already in a bad mood, but when I saw your face, I heard a deafening heartbeat. I thought it was Cupid shooting an arrow at me..."
The people around exploded instantly, making "Wow~" sounds, cheering and typing replies continuously.
Original forum post: #Tonight I will confess my love on the path in front of the complex building, I hope everyone will witness true love together# [Hot]
[Holy crap, this isn't a troll post? This is a genuine confession. I waited over half an hour for this!]
[Damn it! I'm still in class. I'm planning to use the restroom and then sneak away.]
[Finally became an NPC in the novel, eat melon eat melon~]
[How boring! What's so interesting about a confession of love?... Never mind. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just take a look.]
[No! I suggest you don't come. The candles are tacky, and the confession is so awkward I could dig a school out of my toes...]
Cheng Yu heard the noises around him and became even more excited, shouting:
"Be my girlfriend!"
It seemed like someone in the crowd was deliberately setting the pace, and most people followed suit, shouting for them to be together.
Meng Shiyi took a half step back and said word by word: "Sorry, I don't want to."
She turned to leave, but was grabbed by the arm so hard that it hurt.
Cheng Yu understood it in his heart.
Girls are shy and have to refuse a few times to appear respectable.
He knelt on one knee, his eyes full of affection: "I'm sincere! If you don't agree to be my girlfriend, I will kneel here and not get up!"
Some guy nearby was touched and whispered, "This guy is so affectionate, he's like a pure love god. Can the girl please agree quickly? Stop it."
Meng Shiyi frowned slightly, pushed his hand away, and said calmly:
"No one asked you to kneel, and there's no need to use moral coercion. You rashly confessed in front of everyone. Have you ever considered whether it would cause trouble to the other person? You wouldn't. You only care about your own fame and your own pleasure."
Confession should be an expression of feelings, not an attempt to force a relationship.
Meng Shiyi said: "Sorry, I already have someone I like, and it's not you."
These words completely pierced Cheng Yu's heart.
His face suddenly darkened, he stood up and said in a low voice:
"Why the hell are you pretending to be so noble? Just play hard to get. Do you really want to embarrass me in public? I've been preparing for this confession for a whole week. Do you have any conscience at all?"
He said confidently, "Haha, you said you don't like me, but you're just trying to seduce me. Otherwise, why do you always give me the illusion that you like me too? You bastard!"
The more Cheng Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He decisively reached out his hand and tried to grab Meng Shiyi again.
Unexpectedly, the next second, a punch hit Cheng Yu's face with a "bang", knocking him to the ground instantly!
The man's punches were precise, swift, fierce and intimidating, leaving no one able to react.
His tall figure was sleek, his eyes cold and dark, dangerous to the extreme. The lower half of his face was covered by a black mask. An invisible sense of oppression emanated from his body.
It was dark at night, and even though he was wearing a mask, Meng Shiyi recognized him at once.
It’s He Xilou.
Her head buzzed and her heartbeat became increasingly irregular.
Lu Shijie also nimbly squeezed in from the crowd and stood firmly in front of Shi Yi:
"Hey, little brother, if you confess, do you think others must agree? If you don't have a mirror, you can always pee. Can you pee and look at yourself?"
Cheng Yu raised his hand to wipe the blood from his nose, his face full of anger: "Who the hell are you?! What the hell does my confession have to do with you? Are you crazy——"
The two quarreled more and more fiercely, and the surrounding area fell into a fierce struggle.
In the chaos, her hand suddenly felt the burning body temperature.
He Xilou held her hand and cleared a path in front of her.
Meng Shiyi's breathing stagnated and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand.
Perhaps noticing her movements, He Xilou turned his head and stared at her with his black eyes, with a bit of possessiveness.
The man's low, lazy voice spilled out of his throat, lingering in Meng Shiyi's ears:
"Be good, follow me."
