I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 22 If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare.

With some time before class, Tong Yining winked at Yin Mengran, signaling her to go and tell Zhou Heng.

Yin Mengran glanced around and saw that Zhou Heng was alone, then stood up and walked towards him.

As the class monitor, and with excellent interpersonal skills, she wouldn't attract any gossip in the class.

However, apart from one person...

Lu Yunshuo sat in his seat and saw Yin Mengran walk towards Zhou Heng. His heart tightened.

He was already a little apprehensive when he saw how popular Zhou Heng was early in the morning; he was afraid to see Yin Mengran next to Zhou Heng as well.

Fortunately, it seems that Yin Mengran hasn't gotten too close to Zhou Heng.

He would be heartbroken if he saw Yin Mengran and Zhou Heng walking very close, even side by side.

He was initially relieved, but now he saw Yin Mengran walking towards Zhou Heng!

If he just sits here doing nothing, won't he miss his chance?!

Yin Mengran approached Zhou Heng and whispered:

"Um... Zhou Heng, there's something I want to tell you."

"Ok?"

Zhou Heng raised his head, glanced at Yin Mengran, and then replied calmly, "Speak."

He was already annoyed and frustrated early in the morning, and this wasn't him pretending to be aloof.

Who told these people to laugh at me for two years? When I tried to get along with them, they made me a laughingstock.

Now that I want some peace and quiet to focus on my studies and catch up, this group of people has come to me instead!

He was still feeling a bit irritable, and that's when he looked up and saw Yin Mengran.

If it were anyone else, he really wouldn't have bothered with it.

"Uh, cough cough! Um... Yin Mengran, I have a question I can't answer, can you teach me?"

At that moment, Lu Yunshuo suddenly ran over with an exercise book, stopping her from speaking.

"what?"

Yin Mengran was suddenly stunned, her thoughts completely disrupted, and she looked at Lu Yunshuo with a blank expression.

Although I'm easy to talk to and have good grades, so many people come to me with questions.

But you have to consider the timing, right? I'm talking to someone right now.

Moreover, what he was about to say was a particularly sensitive topic, and for Tong Yining's sake, he couldn't let others know.

How do I bring it up now?

"Oh, you're talking to Zhou Heng. It's okay, you go first, I'm not in a hurry..."

Lu Yunshuo tried to cover it up, pretending not to disturb their conversation, but he didn't step back; instead, he stood to the side!

He was determined to stay here and listen! To see what Yin Mengran had to say!

That way he'll feel more confident!

"This...I...could you...tsk..."

Yin Mengran looked embarrassed and couldn't bring herself to say it.

If it were said aloud and Lu Yunshuo heard it, it would definitely spread.

That would put Tong Yining in an awkward position, and Zhou Heng in a difficult situation as well. She knew very well that Zhou Heng didn't want to be a laughingstock or the subject of everyone's discussion.

Therefore, Lu Yunshuo must not hear about this.

However, she was too embarrassed to ask Lu Yunshuo to leave, as it would seem as if she were about to say something shameful, which would be interpreted as strange rumors.

Zhou Heng raised his eyes, glanced at Yin Mengran who looked troubled, and then at Lu Yunshuo who refused to back down.

The next second, he suddenly stood up and grabbed Yin Mengran's wrist with one hand.

Under Lu Yunshuo's wide-eyed gaze, Zhou Heng led Yin Mengran away from the classroom!

"Uh..."

Yin Mengran was completely stunned. The feeling of being grabbed by Zhou Heng was just like the feeling of being dragged home by him in the pouring rain that day.

Tong Yining had been secretly observing the situation. After witnessing this scene, his mouth gaped open, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Lu Yunshuo was completely dumbfounded; his lips twitched and his eyebrows twitched wildly.

He actually let Zhou Heng drag Yin Mengran away right in front of him?!

At this moment, Zhou Heng led Yin Mengran to the stairwell, where no one else passed by.

Zhou Heng released his hand, looked at Yin Mengran in front of him, and said:

"Okay, let's talk."

"Ah...you..."

"what happened?"

"Aren't you afraid people will gossip? They'll misunderstand you..."

Yin Mengran lowered her head and said softly,

Her heart raced at the thought of Zhou Heng pulling her out of the classroom.

Zhou Heng closed his eyes, slowly opened his mouth, and said, "Are you asking someone who has been ridiculed for two years if they're afraid of gossip? Should I be afraid?"

"Do not..."

"As for you, if you're worried about being misunderstood, I'll go back and explain to them later."

Yin Mengran waved her hands repeatedly, explaining, "Ah no, I... I'm even less afraid."

She knew her current situation; she was all alone. She wasn't afraid of being disgraced, so why should she be afraid of gossip?

"That's settled then. Okay, what do you want to say? Hurry up and say it, class is about to start."

"Yes, I'm just a messenger. It's Tongtong. She wants to talk to you alone and wants to meet you at noon... right here."

“I refuse. Tell her there’s nothing to talk about.”

Zhou Heng shook his head and refused outright, without even considering it.

Yin Mengran had already anticipated this outcome; in fact, based on her understanding of Zhou Heng, this was the most likely result.

"You...you really don't plan to talk to her? Maybe...after you talk, she'll be with you..."

“Then I definitely can’t talk to her. Think about it yourself, I’ve been pursuing her for two years and she didn’t agree. Now I’ve stopped pursuing her, and only three days have passed. Do you think I should go back to her just because she wants to talk to me? Then I’m practically worthless.”

"That's true... Alright then, I'll pass it on to her."

"Ah."

After they finished speaking, the two left and returned to the classroom.

As soon as Zhou Heng returned, he felt eyes watching him, but he didn't care at all and went back to his seat.

Tang Zhi tapped the table with her pen, and after Zhou Heng sat down, she asked:

"When did you become so close to the class monitor?"

How did you decide it was good?

"If it's not good, why would you grab someone's wrist and run away? Aren't you afraid they'll slap you and call you a pervert?"

Zhou Heng glanced at her and said:

"You're overthinking it. I know she's a good person and wouldn't do that, which is why I dared to do it. I wouldn't dare to do it to someone else."

"alright."

Tang Zhi believed Zhou Heng's words. As for what he and Yin Mengran had talked about outside, she didn't ask, nor did she want to.

Although she knew that Zhou Heng would definitely tell her if she asked.

Some people don't want to know, but others are so eager to know they're practically going crazy.

Lu Yunshuo was extremely uncomfortable in his seat. He felt like ants were crawling all over him. He desperately wanted to know what Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran were talking about!

But I couldn't go out with them just now; that would make my intentions too obvious, and they would dislike me.

What upset him the most was that when Zhou Heng pulled Yin Mengran out by the wrist, Yin Mengran didn't resist at all, but instead accepted it!

Tong Yining was another witness. Although she was shocked by Zhou Heng's actions, she also knew what the two of them had talked about outside.

So she is now especially looking forward to Yin Mengran bringing her good news.
