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

Chapter 7: Is it because you didn't confess your feelings to her today that she's not used

During lunchtime, students can either eat in the cafeteria or buy food to eat in the classroom.

Zhou Heng prepared his own meals at home and brought them with him. The lunchboxes were insulated, so he could also go to the cafeteria to have them reheated if they got too cold.

Tang Zhi bought her food at the cafeteria and ate it in the classroom.

"Hey bro! Let's eat together, we can continue our conversation from this morning..."

At this moment, Kong Yue took his lunch and sat down in front of Zhou Heng, turned his chair around, and placed his lunch on Zhou Heng's table.

"The topic of the morning? Oh, you mean pursuing..."

"Games! The games we talked about this morning! Have you forgotten?"

Kong Yue immediately interrupted Zhou Heng loudly, glancing at Tang Zhi beside him, only to find that she didn't seem to care at all.

Tang Zhi peeked into Zhou Heng's lunchbox, her eyes lit up, and she pointed at it with her chopsticks, saying:

"I want to eat that soft-boiled fried egg."

"I knew you'd want to see this... I should have hidden it under the rice."

Zhou Heng reluctantly used chopsticks to pick up the food for Tang Zhi, who nodded with satisfaction after eating it.

Zhou Heng looked at Kong Yue, who was staring blankly, and said, "Ah, you can continue talking about games now."

"Ah, right, games. What games do you guys play?"

Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi exchanged a glance and said, "We'll play anything."

At this moment, Tang Zhi looked at Zhou Heng and said, "Did you watch the game last week? I knew their team would lose; they played terribly in those two matches."

Zhou Heng nodded and continued:

"To be honest, their jungler is really bad. You can tell from those ganks. He doesn't remember to use Flash at all, and his ultimate AoE is terrible."

"The AD carry was also mediocre, the damage output was too low, I can't understand why they didn't push in the last wave..."

"Etc., etc!"

Seeing that he couldn't get a word in edgewise and couldn't hear what the two of them were saying at all, Kong Yue quickly called for a stop.

Otherwise, I'll just be like air here.

Kong Yue asked in a low voice, "Uh...do you guys...play those card games?"

Tang Zhi nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll play."

He then looked at Zhou Heng again and asked, "Have you seen the new OTK deck that has recently appeared on the ladder?"

"I saw it. To be honest, I was a little surprised when I saw it. I didn't expect there to be such a combo. The other side called for the kill too quickly."

After Zhou Heng finished speaking, he noticed that Kong Yue had become dejected again, so he looked at him and asked, "So what card game do you play?"

"Fight...Fight the Landlord..."

"That's called a card game."

"Sorry."

Kong Yue lowered his head, focusing on his meal and no longer interrupting. His biggest mistake was trying to please them by talking about games.

I thought it couldn't possibly be a game that a little girl would play.

Casual puzzle games, dating simulation games, etc., even if you haven't played them, just saying a few words in agreement is fine.

His mind was still stuck in the era of girls playing dress-up games.

I never imagined that coming here would be such a humiliating experience.

Looks like he needs to go back and practice the game more...

"Tongtong? Tongtong!"

"Ah... Tian Run... what's wrong?"

Tong Yining came to her senses and looked at the girl in front of her, who still seemed a little dazed.

"What's wrong? You seem distracted."

"Me? Distracted? No way..."

"Um..."

Tian Run pointed to Tong Yining's rice. Tong Yining looked down and realized that she had unknowingly crushed the rice grains one by one with her chopsticks, as if she wasn't going to eat it and was just playing around.

"Ah, I... I have my monthly exam coming up, and I'm feeling a bit anxious."

"Really? You can still be worried about exams? Your grades are pretty good!"

"Even Ranran, who is ranked first in the class, worries about exams, let alone me."

"The class monitor is an exception. After all, she has maintained first place for two years. If she falls, she must be very disappointed. I just don't know how it will be this time, and I don't know if she will be able to come to school before the monthly exam."

"Um..."

Tong Yining nodded, continuing to poke at the rice grains. She couldn't figure out what she was thinking either. Was it really an exam? It didn't seem like it...

Tian Run gently patted Tong Yining's arm, comforting her:

"Alright, stop worrying. Your grades aren't something to worry about. The people who should be worried are people like Zhou Heng..."

"Zhou Heng..."

Tong Yining's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Zhou Heng, where she saw him eating and chatting with Tang Zhi and Kong Yue.

In the past, if I looked in his direction, he would definitely be looking at me too, and our eyes would meet.

But she'd been staring at him for over ten seconds now, and Zhou Heng wasn't even glancing in her direction.

Something's wrong...something's really wrong...

Tong Yining frowned slightly, muttered something under her breath, and increased the pressure in her hands, crushing and flattening the rice grains.

In the afternoon, during self-study period,

Zhou Heng was working on the problems, occasionally scratching his head and frowning. Looking at the densely packed text on the test paper in front of him, he almost fell asleep.

"Zhou Heng studying? Something's really wrong..."

Tong Yining was puzzled when she saw Zhou Heng diligently working on his problems. Normally, self-study periods were when he would catch up on sleep.

Why are we studying today? Did the sun rise in the west?

Unwilling to admit defeat, Kong Yue once again brought the test paper to Zhou Heng and the others.

"Um...Tang Zhi, I don't know how to do this problem, can you teach me?"

Tang Zhi raised her head, glanced at Kong Yue, then lowered her head and said:

"Why would you ask me if you wouldn't ask the teacher?"

"Uh...you're a good student...didn't the teacher say to learn from the good students...?"

Zhou Heng looked up and glanced at the test paper, then took it over:

"I know how to do this problem. I'll tell you how. I just learned it yesterday, Yin..."

Before Zhou Heng could even begin to teach him, Kong Yue took the test paper away and whispered in Zhou Heng's ear:

"Don't cause trouble, do you know what it means to have ulterior motives?"

Zhou Heng, who had originally wanted to test his learning progress, had his enthusiasm immediately dampened by Kong Yue.

His brows furrowed, and he said calmly:

"All I know is that if you come here again with nothing better to do, I'll kick you out, you believe me?"

"you..."

Just as Kong Yue was about to say something, he saw Tang Zhi, who was standing to the side, casting a cold glance at him.

He swallowed hard and quickly left. Although he said he liked Tang Zhi the way she was, he was still a little afraid to actually face her.

After Kong Yue left, Tang Zhi whispered in Zhou Heng's ear, "Tong Yining seemed to be glancing at you a lot today. Is it because she's not used to you not confessing your feelings today?"

Hearing Tang Zhi say that, Zhou Heng didn't look up at Tong Yining, but continued doing his homework.

"I don't know, let her do what she wants, it's none of my business."
