On the other side, He Zhou looked at Yan Hanxi from afar and asked Cheng Yi, "Who is the boy you like?"
Of all these people, he felt that only Yan Hanxi was pleasing to the eye, and the others were not as good as He Ning. Could it be that Cheng Yi was also pleasing to the eye?
But if it were Yan Hanxi, why would he not even glance at Cheng Yi, but instead smile brightly at He Jing?
Cheng Yi looked at Yan Hanxi again, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration, and her face flushed slightly: "Third Brother, please don't ask anymore, I'm not with him yet."
He Zhou was quick-witted and immediately knew what was going on. His face darkened instantly: "Are you pursuing someone else?"
Looks like they haven't caught up yet.
Cheng Yi was immediately stung, and the sweetness in her heart vanished. She bit her lip and said, "Third Brother, what era are we living in? Girls should take the initiative too."
In an instant, He Zhou's eyes turned as cold as ice, the chill emanating from him: "No, girls from our He family cannot be pursued by men."
Especially the boys who like He Jing.
Cheng Yi turned pale after He Zhou's words and lowered her head, remaining silent.
He Ning couldn't stand it anymore and coldly reprimanded, "Third brother, that's enough. The reason you're so angry that she's pursuing him is simply because that guy likes He Jing. But Xiao Yi also has the right to pursue her own happiness. Even if the chances aren't great, she should still try so she won't regret it."
He Zhou gritted his teeth and put out the fire. Of course he knew that emotions couldn't be controlled, but he really wanted what was best for Cheng Yi. How cruel a man could be to a girl he didn't like? As a man himself, didn't he know that?
However, He Ning's words, intended to comfort Cheng Yi, stung her. Her fingertips curled up, her nails dug into her flesh, and she was filled with resentment.
Why do you say she has little chance? From the first moment she saw Yan Hanxi, she felt that Yan Hanxi would eventually be hers. This inexplicable feeling, though she didn't know where it came from, was incredibly strong.
It was as if it were destined.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been humiliated by Yan Hanxi, yet she still clung to him regardless.
Everyone else can lose, but Yan Hanxi cannot.
Just as the atmosphere was tense, He Chen returned from the front. He stood three steps away and waved to them from a distance: "Second Brother, Third Brother, it's time to go in."
He Ning glanced at He Zhou again, then walked away from them with an air of aloofness.
Cheng Yi had no choice but to swallow her anger for the time being and followed without saying a word.
As soon as the group met up with He Jing, they noticed that He Sui was staring intently at Yan Hanxi, as if facing a formidable enemy.
He Jing turned her head and said, "Second brother, third brother, fifth brother, let's decide on the groups. I just got the escape room manual. It says that the early stage is teamwork, the middle stage is two people working separately, and so on until the end. It looks pretty difficult."
No sooner had he finished speaking than He Sui immediately shouted, "I'll team up with you. No one else will do, especially this kid."
Cheng Yi was secretly pleased when she saw this. If He Jing was forced to be in a group with He Sui, then she could be in a group with Yan Hanxi.
Then Shen Qiuyu said with disdain and sarcasm, "I'm fine with anything, as long as I'm not in a group with this annoying person."
Wu Yu quickly added, "I don't want to be in the same group as her either."
Although neither "annoying person" nor "she" specifically identifies who they are, the direction they are glancing at is quite obvious.
Cheng Yi appeared embarrassed but was inwardly resentful, secretly hating that Shen Qiuyu was everywhere.
Standing next to Cheng Yi, He Zhou's face was extremely unpleasant. He said coldly, "Two classmates, what has my Xiao Yi done to offend you? I apologize on her behalf."
