Seeing that Meng Qing and Fu Xiuhan ignored him, and that the others behind them were classmates, even though they were some distance away, Shi Yan knew that if their attitudes were too obvious, people would notice. Shi Yan had established himself as the school's most popular and beloved guy, and he couldn't afford to lose face at this moment.
Fu Xiuhan's attitude towards him was especially important to him here.
Although Shi Yan is good-looking, with above-average looks, he is far from being a school heartthrob. However, his talent and family background enhance his good looks.
The most crucial factor is Fu Xiuhan's attitude towards him.
Since transferring to Yancheng, Fu Xiuhan has been indifferent to everyone. Although he doesn't use his money and power to make things difficult for his classmates, he basically doesn't talk to anyone.
At first, everyone tried to approach and strike up a conversation, but they were all deterred by Fu Xiuhan's cold gaze. There was no emotion in Fu Xiuhan's eyes, but they still made people feel intimidated.
Shi Yan originally couldn't talk to Fu Xiuhan, but because of the plot, he knew Fu Xiuhan's preferences and gradually made Fu Xiuhan know him through various chance encounters.
Then, she won Fu Xiuhan's favor with a violin piece.
From that moment on, Yan became an exception at the school, and Fu Xiuhan's attitude towards him was different from that towards others.
Shi Yan became someone who could exchange a few words with Fu Xiuhan.
But now Fu Xiuhan is indifferent to him, his attitude is completely different from before. Is it because Shi Qian is back?
Although Shi Yan admitted that Shi Qian was good-looking, Fu Xiuhan was not someone who judged solely on appearances, and he wouldn't be so superficial.
Shi Yan comforted himself, telling himself not to panic. He was the protagonist of this world, and Shi Qian was just a tool destined to be trampled under his feet. No matter how good-looking she was, she would still die in the end.
Why is Fu Xiuhan still so cold to me today? What went wrong?
Could it be that he has taken a liking to Shi Qian?
"Impossible. In my previous life, he imprisoned Shi Qian in the basement for my sake and had his men beat Shi Qian half to death."
[If I hadn't pretended to plead for him at the end, Fu Xiuhan would have had Shi Qian beaten to death!]
...
Upon hearing Shi Yan's thoughts, Fu Xiuhan's face instantly turned deathly pale.
What?
What previous life?
What did he do in his previous life?
They imprisoned Shi Qian?
He even had someone beat him up?
They almost beat someone to death?
Fu Xiuhan was shocked, at a loss, ashamed, and at a loss for what to do.
He glanced at Shi Qian with a look of disbelief, somewhat flustered.
How could he possibly hurt Shi Qian? How could he do such a thing!
Fu Xiuhan wanted to take two steps forward and say something to Shi Qian, but Meng Qing blocked him with her hand.
Meng Qing also heard Shi Yan's thoughts and knew that Fu Xiuhan had actually imprisoned Shi Qian and almost beaten him to death. She frowned and instinctively didn't want him to get close to Shi Qian. Right now, she was extremely wary of him.
Fu Xiuhan didn't care that Meng Qing had stopped him. He was focused on Shi Qian, but unfortunately, Shi Qian was looking down at her phone and wasn't looking at him.
Fu Xiuhan was filled with guilt. He did not doubt what Shi Yan said. He could hear Shi Yan's thoughts, so there must be a reason. If Shi Yan was a time traveler or a reincarnated person, then everything would make sense.
Fu Xiuhan was very accepting and quickly came to accept the supernatural phenomena of time travel and rebirth, which were completely contrary to objective laws.
If that's the case, then what Shi Yan said about his previous life is very likely true!
If he had really treated Shi Qian like this in his previous life, how could he still have the face to accept Shi Qian's pursuit now?
Fu Xiuhan was completely flustered and panicked. He took two steps forward, then retreated a few steps in a state of confusion.
Shi Yan was unaware that his true feelings had been revealed, and was still thinking about how to make himself and Fu Xiuhan appear closer.
With so many people watching at the swimming pool, he was determined to use this opportunity to solidify the rumors that his relationship with Fu Xiuhan was unusual.
Shi Yan quietly took two steps toward Fu Xiuhan, judging the direction and timing.
[Right now! I'll take this opportunity to fall onto Fu Xiuhan, letting the two of them have some intimate contact. I refuse to believe Fu Xiuhan won't be tempted!]
No sooner said than done, Shi Yan cried out "Ouch!" as if he had lost his balance and fell straight into Fu Xiuhan's arms.
Meng heard Shi Yan's plan and stepped back to avoid harming innocent people.
Fu Xiuhan heard it too and sensed something was wrong. With a twisting teleport, he just managed to avoid where Shi Yan fell. Shi Yan saw that he hadn't landed on anyone and was about to fall flat on his face. In a panic, he tried to get up but accidentally tripped over Shi Qian's leg and fell into the pool with a "plop".
...
Shi Yan: ? ? ?
Fu Xiuhan: Luckily I dodged quickly.
Meng Qing: Luckily, I wasn't the target.
Shi Qian: What happened? My ankle hurts a little?
Shi Qian belatedly felt a dull pain in her ankle, and only then did she see Shi Yan, who had fallen into the pool and was still splashing around shouting "Help!"
Damn it, innocent bystanders have been caught in the crossfire again!
Shi Qian bent down, clutching her ankle, and frowned.
Meng Qing saw Shi Qian's action immediately, squatted down, removed Shi Qian's hand, lifted Shi Qian's ankle and looked at it from left to right, asking with a worried expression, "Did I step on your foot?"
Fu Xiuhan was just relieved that he had dodged quickly, but when he heard that Shi Qian had injured his foot, he immediately became anxious. He quickly squatted down, snatched Shi Qian's foot from Meng Qing's hands, and looked at it from left to right, "Where is it injured? Is it serious?"
Shi Qian: ...
Shi Qian silently pulled her foot back towards her body, freeing herself from the two people's grasp. She slightly rotated her ankle; it hurt a lot.
Shi Qian frowned, thinking that as expected, when the main characters were grouped together, nothing good would come of it for him.
Shi Qian wanted to stand up and get away from the trouble as soon as possible. Since she couldn't go swimming today anyway, she might as well go back to the dormitory to sleep.
When Meng Qing and Fu Xiuhan saw that Shi Qian remembered, they quickly lifted one of Shi Qian's arms to act as a support.
Shi Qian, who could have stood up on her own: ...
"Can you walk? Do you want me to carry you to the infirmary?" Fu Xiuhan asked worriedly.
Meng Qing squatted down and let Shi Qian get on her back. Before Shi Qian could react, Meng Qing had already scooped him up onto her back.
Huh? No? It can't be that bad? Really not? I can walk by myself, can't I?
Shi Qian tried to struggle to get off Meng Qing's back, but Meng Qing thought it was because he was uncomfortable carrying him, so he pulled Shi Qian up by the thighs and hugged him up, so that Shi Qian could stay firmly against his back.
Shi Qian: ...
"I can actually walk by myself..." Shi Qian began, then tried to get off Meng Qing's back.
"Let someone carry you. I saw your feet were so sore you were sweating. We'll go with you to the infirmary. Let's go."
Fu Xiuhan was still lamenting that he was a step too late again and hadn't carried Shi Qian on his back. He should have known better than to ask and just take action. Meng Qing had beaten him to it once more.
hateful!
