Many people around were whispering and speculating about the relationship between the three of them.
Some say it's a love triangle, but many more people are criticizing how poor the taste of handsome men these days is, saying it's unnecessary for such an ordinary-looking girl with glasses to fight each other to the death.
"Brother Ziqian, I apologize to you on behalf of my cousin. Please don't take it to heart."
Bai Xiaoruo felt very guilty, after all, it was because of her that Xuan Mingyu wanted to take action against Ji Ziqian.
Bai Xiaoruo remembered Xian Mingyu's words before he left: as long as he could calm down, she would go along with him more.
I also hope he won't misunderstand. I am completely innocent with Ziqian and there is absolutely no other private relationship between us.
"I'm fine. But Xiaoruo, please believe me, what I said to your cousin just now was from the bottom of my heart. I really want to pursue you, and I hope you can give me this chance." Ji Ziqian held Bai Xiaoruo's hand and looked at her affectionately.
He will never back down again.
I just like Xiaoruo, and I've liked her for many years, and I will continue to like her in the future.
One day, I will definitely be able to win her heart.
“Brother Ziqian…” Bai Xiaoru avoided his gaze and subtly pulled her hand away from his. “Brother Ziqian, don’t joke around. I’m so ordinary. I’m not good enough for you at all. You should go after more outstanding girls.”
"No, Xiaoruo, in my eyes, you are the most outstanding girl, I..."
"Class is about to start, I'm going in first. Ziqian, you should go and get your stamping done too." Bai Xiaoru interrupted Ji Ziqian and hurried into the school.
Now, besides running away, she really doesn't know how to face Ji Ziqian anymore.
She was indeed not the right person for Ziqian. From the day she agreed to marry Xianmingyu and they held their wedding, Ziqian and she had already drifted further and further apart.
Perhaps, this is fate's arrangement.
***
As Bai Xiaoruo walked into the classroom, many people who had been standing at the door and witnessed the whole thing were whispering among themselves. But as soon as they saw Bai Xiaoruo come in, their discussions immediately stopped.
This bespectacled girl is truly remarkable. She's not particularly good-looking, yet she managed to get two handsome guys to almost fight over her.
Bai Xiaoruo's best friend Ji Shushu walked over with a big smile on her face. "Xiaoruo, you're up to no good! Where did you pick up another handsome guy? No wonder you didn't accept my brother. Are you already with that handsome guy?"
Bai Xiaoruo didn't expect that the rumors would spread so quickly, reaching the ears of the entire class, including Ji Shushu.
Now, how am I supposed to explain this?
"No, he... he's my cousin. There was just a misunderstanding, so that's why we were at the door just now... Anyway, it's not what you think, Shushu." Bai Xiaoruo couldn't explain it clearly in a short time, but that was roughly the gist of it. She hoped Shushu would understand.
"Cousin? Hey, when did you get a cousin? I've known you for so many years and I never knew... But seriously, your cousin is really handsome! I just saw some photos they secretly took, and he's even taller than my brother! He's like a handsome man straight out of a manga."
"Oh~" Ji Shushu praised him endlessly. It was the first time Bai Xiaoruo had ever seen her so infatuated with someone. Could this girl be... in love with Xian Mingyu?
"By the way, Xiaobai, does your cousin have a girlfriend? Can you give me his WeChat? Or his phone number will do too. If I become your cousin's wife, wouldn't that make us even closer relatives? Hehe~"
Ji Shushu's words terrified Bai Xiaoruo. "No way! Shushu, I'll give you anyone but him. Shushu, please don't scare me! Please go and like someone else, okay?"
He's her husband! How can she accept this? What if Shushu really likes Xianmingyu?
Bai Xiaoruo's mind was in turmoil.
"Okay, okay, Xiaobai, don't get excited. I was just saying it casually, just kidding. Don't take it seriously. I don't really want to date your cousin." Seeing Bai Xiaoru suddenly get excited and almost cry, Ji Shushu was also startled. She was just saying it casually, wasn't her reaction a bit too much?
Besides, isn't that person Xiaobai's cousin? How afraid is she of finding a partner for her cousin?
"Really?"
"Of course, the person I like must be a good family man that I can conquer. Someone like your cousin, I would have no chance with him as soon as I saw him. Handsome guys are just for looking at and pleasing to the eye, I would never dare to try it myself."
After hearing Ji Shushu's words, Bai Xiaoruo felt relieved. Thank goodness, Shushu was just joking.
It's good that it's not true. Class is about to start, I should hurry back to my seat and put my bag away...
Bai Xiaoru reached behind her and found nothing there; her heart began to panic.
Where's the schoolbag?
I only realized when I got to the classroom that I hadn't brought my backpack with me!
How is that possible? I clearly carried my backpack before leaving home, and it was still there when I got to the bus stop.
Bai Xiaoruo thought about it carefully. When she got on the bus, Xuan Mingyu had told her to take off her backpack and put it on the back seat...
Oh right! Maybe his backpack is still in his car!
Could it be that... when he got out of the car just now, he actually wanted to remind her to take her schoolbag?
"Xiaobai, where's your backpack?"
"I probably forgot it at home."
"Seriously? You forgot your schoolbag at home? Your memory has been terrible lately!"
"yes."
