Chapter 18
Although it wasn't something he initially wanted to run, Jiang Yide was still in a good mood after winning first place in the race.
But, unexpectedly, there was a surprise after the competition.
A boy wearing glasses, holding a bouquet of flowers, stood shyly in front of her, head bowed, and said, "Jiang Yi, um... congratulations..."
Jiang Yi's expression stiffened.
Congratulations are fine, but why send flowers?
She looked at the boy in front of her and said, "Um, classmate, you..."
Lu Yang glanced at Xu Wang next to him. The boy in the wheelchair had a dark face and his eyes were fixed on the bouquet of flowers in the boy's arms, as if he wanted to stare a hole through it.
It's finally my turn to shine.
Lu Yang rubbed his hands together, and before anyone could react, he swiftly stepped forward, snatched the flowers from the boy's arms, and said with a grin, "These flowers are nice. You're here to congratulate our Sister Yi on winning first place, right? Thank you, thank you!"
Her hand landed on the boy's shoulder, with a subtle force, as if warning him something.
The confession the boy had prepared got stuck in his throat. His ears turned red, his expression stiffened, and his smile became forced. He said, "Yes, yes, I was just congratulating Jiang Yi. I didn't have any other thoughts at all. Haha!"
The boy's smile was incredibly stiff; it was so forced that it looked worse than crying.
Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she was afraid of being confessed to, but sometimes she felt that her direct rejection was quite hurtful. Seeing that he didn't continue, she smiled and sincerely said, "Thank you for your congratulations."
The girl's smile was genuine. She had just come from the competition, and her forehead was still damp with sweat. She looked youthful and energetic, and such a girl was unconsciously attractive.
The boy blushed, but knew it was inappropriate for him to stand there. He scratched his head and ran away quickly.
Lu Yang was still holding the bouquet of flowers. The flowers were fresh and beautiful, and it looked a little strange that a tall guy like him was holding such a bunch of flowers. He glanced at Xu Wang next to him and asked, "Brother Xu, what should we do with these flowers?"
Xu Wang's indifferent gaze swept over the bouquet, and he pushed his wheelchair away, his voice cold and deep: "These flowers aren't mine."
Lu Yang looked at Jiang Yi, then at Zhang Ruoyi beside her, and finally stuffed the flowers into Zhang Ruoyi's arms before hurriedly chasing after her.
"Brother Xu, wait for me."
Caught off guard by the sudden handing her a handful of flowers, Zhang Ruoyi asked in confusion, "Um, Jiang Yi..."
Jiang Yi shrugged and said, "It's for you guys to play with."
If it was really meant to congratulate her, she would have accepted it. But clearly, it wasn't. The other person intended to use it to confess their feelings, but it was interrupted.
She'd better not accept these flowers.
Zhang Ruoyi looked at the flowers in her arms with a troubled expression. She glanced instinctively at the trash can beside her, but then felt it was a waste to throw them away; these flowers were blooming so beautifully. She lowered her head to smell their fragrance, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said to Jiang Yi, "Then, I'll accept these flowers?"
"Okay," Jiang Yi said casually, then walked towards the classroom.
Xu Wang pushed his wheelchair for a while, and before he knew it, he had reached a secluded spot. There were steps in front of him that he couldn't climb, so he could only stand in front of Lu Yang.
Lu Yang arrived quickly. Seeing Xu Wang waiting for him, he smiled slightly, then looked at Xu Wang with some curiosity and asked, "Brother Xu, are you... jealous?"
Xu Wang glanced at him, then uttered a single word: "Get lost."
Seeing his embarrassed and angry expression, Lu Yang shrugged, then helped Xu Wang up the steps and said, "Sister Yi has good grades and is beautiful, so it's normal for people to like her."
Seeing Xu Wang's displeased expression, Lu Yang added, "However, no other boy is as well-matched as our Brother Xu and Sister Yi."
Xu Wang gave him a cold glare: "Who said I have feelings for her?"
Lu Yang quickly slapped his mouth and said, "Yes, yes, I was talking nonsense. Brother Xu, you have no feelings for her, not even a little bit."
Xu Wang gave a cold snort and said nothing more.
