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

Chapter 324 The first day of school caused a massive crowd to gather at the school gate.

Yuan Heng gently grasped Zhou Heng's shoulders with both hands, looking him up and down as if checking for injuries...

"Are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Yuan Heng looked very worried, repeatedly checking Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran for any injuries.

"Principal Yuan, we're fine... don't worry."

"Ah...it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. If anything had happened to you, I wouldn't have been able to explain it to your parents..."

Yuan Heng looked relieved, which showed that he had been quite frightened just now.

Jing Yu stood behind the two, quite surprised. Being treated specially by someone like Professor Han was one thing, but...

Even the principal values ​​these two so much?

There are quite a few wealthy families in this school, but how many of them are valued by the principal?

They also said they couldn't explain it to their parents, wondering who their parents were that could make the president of Dongju University so nervous...

Jing Yu thought about it more and more, especially developing a strong curiosity about the identities and backgrounds of Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran.

Some even suspect that her background is even more powerful than Bai Cang's...

First of all, someone who can become friends with someone of Bai Cang's status must not be an ordinary person. They didn't seem too surprised by the gift Bai Cang gave Yin Mengran, and didn't even seem to value it much.

This also indirectly shows that their conditions are no worse than Bai Cang's...

Or perhaps... their family isn't in business, but in politics?

Could it be a high-ranking leader? That possibility cannot be ruled out.

Yuan Heng shifted his gaze to Jing Yu beside him, paused slightly for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"Ah, you're that young model, right? Your name is Jing Yu, isn't it?"

Jing Yu quickly stepped forward and answered respectfully:

"Uh, yes...yes, hello Principal, I didn't expect you to know me..."

"I know you were packed with people at the school gate on the first day of school, you're very popular."

"what..."

Yuan Heng's words instantly made Jing Yu blush and lower his head in embarrassment.

She never expected to be recognized by the principal in this way; it was so embarrassing...

Although it wasn't my fault for making such a show of respect in front of these important figures, it was indeed a bit embarrassing.

"I'm so sorry..."

"It's okay, similar situations have happened before, don't worry about it. Are you... friends?"

Yuan Heng looked at Jing Yu, then at Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran beside him, and asked.

Jing Yu glanced cautiously at Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran, hesitant to speak. She was now somewhat afraid to admit she was their friend; wouldn't it seem presumptuous to say so in front of the principal...?

Yin Mengran glanced at Zhou Heng before saying, "Yes, we are friends."

Principal Yuan nodded and said, "Hmm, good, good, you are all promising young people... Are you going out?"

"this..."

Zhou Heng was speechless for a moment and could not answer.

It was already around 9:30 PM. Normally, people aren't allowed to go out after 10 PM, and those already outside aren't allowed to come back.

However, since the security guards all knew them, it was never a problem for them to come back a little late; they would always open the gate for them.

But now that they're in front of the principal, they don't dare say that; it would be a blatant violation of school rules...

After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhou Heng finally spoke, saying:

"Yes...yes, we were planning to go out for dinner together, but the elevator was broken, so we were delayed."

"Oh, go ahead, you can come back anytime, but please be careful. As for the elevator problem, I promise it won't happen again, you can rest assured. If you're still worried, I can arrange other accommodations for you."

Zhou Heng quickly waved his hand and said:

"No, no, Principal Yuan, it's alright. There's nothing we can do about this accident. We're not injured or anything, so there's no need to trouble yourself. It's quite convenient for us to stay here."

"Alright then, feel free to tell me if you have any requests. I'm good friends with both of your parents, so it's only right that I take care of you."

"Okay, thank you, Principal Yuan."

After a brief conversation, the three left and prepared to have dinner as planned.

Jing Yu followed behind the two, not daring to say a word. A once-popular model, now she was treated like a mere follower...

She had heard the principal's words clearly. Now she was certain that Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran's parents were definitely not ordinary people, but why couldn't she tell from their demeanor?

She has a great personality, a good temper, and is very easy to get along with. Generally speaking, people from families with that kind of wealth and influence should be able to tell that off very well...

Will I have another chance to express the demands that I didn't say in the elevator?

The three arrived at the restaurant Jingyu had booked in advance. There were hardly any people left, and it was almost closing time, but Jingyu still managed to use a very effective method to get the restaurant to stay open longer... by spending a little more money...

After sitting down, Yin Mengran took off her coat and hung it on the chair behind her, then said to Jing Yu in front of her:

"That was really scary. Are you feeling better now? I'm still a little frightened thinking about it."

"I...I'm alright. I was really scared at the time, but thankfully nothing happened."

Actually, Yin Mengran said that entirely for Jing Yu's benefit; she was just trying to start a conversation.

With Zhou Heng by her side, how could she be so scared... She felt extremely safe in Zhou Heng's arms.

I was a little scared when it first started malfunctioning, but then I wasn't scared at all...

After chatting for a couple more minutes, Yin Mengran felt that it was about time, and Jing Yu should be able to relax a bit more, so she smiled and asked her:

"Alright, now you can say what you didn't say before. What do you need our help with?"

Zhou Heng also put down his phone, looked at Jing Yu, and listened attentively.

Jing Yu lowered her head slightly, as if considering how to bring it up. She knew she only had one chance and had to make the most of it.

You can't say anything too outrageous, otherwise there's no hope. At the same time, you must also express your demands earnestly...

Feeling bad about keeping them waiting, she thought for a moment before speaking:

"Actually... it's about my work, something I'm a little embarrassed to talk about with you..."
