Yi Tianran: "..."
No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense.
She initially wanted to deny it outright, but remembering her mission, she held back and said cryptically, "A friend of mine really likes him, so I want to talk to him about some things."
Liu Meiling smiled meaningfully: "I understand."
Who doesn't know the "My friend is me" series these days?
She assumed it was just shyness on the part of teenage girls and didn't confront them about it.
"Speaking of which, he usually sneaks into the school clinic's cubicles to sleep, and sometimes he sleeps in the big trees or on the rooftop, supposedly because that way he won't be disturbed." Liu Meiling really knows quite a lot.
Yi Tianran narrowed her eyes, tapping her knee lightly with her finger, and asked again, "Then... has he been getting close to any girl?"
Liu Meiling looked down at her movements, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat strange.
Receiving no reply, Yi Tianran looked up curiously. "What's wrong, Sister Meiling?"
“You…” Liu Meiling mimicked the gesture of her fingers, “This habit is just like one of my old friends!”
Yi Tianran suddenly curled her fingers, her expression calm: "A coincidence, perhaps! About my question just now..."
Liu Meiling came to her senses and told her, "He doesn't have any close female friends, and he doesn't even seem to have many male friends. He seems to be rather withdrawn, doesn't like to talk, and doesn't really like crowded places."
Yi Tianran had a general idea of Xu Zhe's image in her mind. She asked a few more questions and before leaving the infirmary, she made a point of taking a look at the cubicle.
The blankets on the bed were spread out and still warm, clearly indicating that someone had slept there recently and had left not long ago.
The window was wide open, and there were two shoe prints, indicating that someone must have jumped out of the window to leave.
He really is a young man who comes and goes like the wind.
On her way back to the dormitory, Yi Tianran was thinking about Xu Zhe. Unknowingly, she walked into the grove and, by sheer coincidence, witnessed a confession.
"Senior, I've liked you for a long time. This is a handmade scarf I knitted for you with love over the course of a month. Please accept it as my gift!" A girl with two ponytails held a thick scarf and looked shyly at the handsome young man opposite her.
Unfortunately, the cold-faced boy didn't appreciate it at all, and instead mocked him: "What kind of third-rate idol drama do you think you're in? Giving away a scarf in the middle of summer, are you out of your mind!"
Yi Tianran: "..." This person's sharp tongue is just as good as hers.
"I..." The girl with the ponytail bit her lip tightly, her eyes reddening, and said, "I just wanted to express my love. I didn't think too much about it at the time. I'm sorry, senior. I really like you."
The cold-faced young man frowned in annoyance: "I don't like women."
After saying that, he walked past her and left.
But the girl with the ponytail grabbed her arm, "Wait a minute, I still have..."
The cold-faced boy turned pale and forcefully shoved her away, as if he had touched something filthy: "Don't touch me, get away from me!"
Because she didn't control her strength, the girl with the ponytail was thrown to the ground, scraping her elbow.
She burst into tears, covered her mouth, and fled in panic.
Yi Tianran clicked her tongue inwardly. These days, boys really don't know how to cherish women! Girls are so fragrant and soft, how come they're seen as monsters in his eyes?
The play was over, and she was about to leave when she suddenly heard the young man say coldly, "How long are you going to hide there and watch? Get out here."
Yi Tianran clicked her tongue inwardly and walked out helplessly. "Sorry, I..." She just happened to be passing by and didn't mean to.
Before she could finish explaining, the boy opposite her started mocking her, "Are you a stalker? Do you girls have nothing better to do than stare at men and swoon over them?"
Yi Tianran: "..."
What did she do to deserve this? She just happened to be passing by, and she's being treated like a stalker?
"Classmate, have you misunderstood something?" Yi Tianran was speechless.
"Stop pretending." The cold-faced young man seemed to have seen through her long ago, his eyes filled with disdain and mockery. "Playing hard to get won't work on me. Didn't you try to find out about me through various channels? Now I'm standing right in front of you, and I'm telling you, I could never like a scheming woman like you. Don't waste your energy."
The young man before her was none other than Xu Zhe, whom Yi Tianran had been searching for.
Half an hour earlier, he was resting in a cubicle in the infirmary as usual when he heard someone offending Liu Meiling. He didn't want to get involved.
But those three idiots were getting more and more outrageous, even trying to physically assault him. Since he had at least borrowed someone else's infirmary to rest, he decided to teach those three idiots a lesson.
But someone else acted even faster than him, and his skills were extraordinary. Despite his slender physique, his explosive power was astonishing. In no time, he had the three idiots crying for their parents and then launched into a barrage of verbal attacks, which was incredibly refreshing.
This made him involuntarily look at Yi Tianran with higher regard.
Before leaving, he overheard the other person inquiring about him, and the goodwill he had just built up vanished instantly.
It's always the same. In the end, all of them are still after him, just because he has a handsome face? Are women really that shallow and foolish?
"Huh?" Yi Tianran was completely dumbfounded.
Although she vaguely guessed that the boy in front of her was Xu Zhe, she did not expect him to have such a narcissistic personality!
Even someone as handsome as Fu Yunchen wouldn't dare say such a thing to her, so where does this little brat get the courage?
Did Fish Leong give it to you?
"Hey classmate, aren't you being a bit too presumptuous?" She usually doesn't make sarcastic remarks to strangers unless she can't help it.
Xu Zhe scoffed, "You're still going to follow the script? Too bad I won't play along. I'm not interested in flat-chested women like you. You'd better stay away from me, or I might get itchy and want to punch you."
Yi Tianran was so angry she laughed on the spot!
Her figure is so stunning that even top international models might not be able to match it.
Even Fu Yunchen couldn't find a single fault with it, yet this little brat actually lied through his teeth.
Originally, the Xu Zhe she imagined was a lonely, taciturn child, but reality slapped her in the face, revealing him to be a conceited brat.
Yi Tianran deliberately twisted his meaning: "You keep saying you're flat-chested and you don't like women... Could it be that you actually like men? No wonder your taste is so unique."
"What did you say?" Xu Zhe's expression changed drastically, and his face darkened.
"Don't worry, I'm not discriminatory. As long as you live an upright life, don't hate women, and learn to respect each other, I can even introduce you to some great potential partners when I'm in a good mood!"
