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

Chapter 198 And it seems they're quite interested in you too...

"hold head high?"

Kong Yue was interrupted before he could finish a single sentence...

He stood there, frozen, as if in a daze...

My brain seemed to have crashed; my mind was blank, and it was buzzing...

Something's wrong?

He observed this classmate all day yesterday, and found him to be very lively and cheerful!

She responds enthusiastically to everyone who greets her, and that smile never fades from her face...

He originally thought she must be an easy person to get along with, so when he saw that she was alone at noon today, he took the initiative to come over and talk to her!

But why is this situation different from what I expected?!

Yu Lingxue's face was expressionless, without a trace of a smile, and her "Get out" was extremely cold.

"it is good."

Kong Yue nodded, readily agreeing, and then went back.

To be honest, he wasn't that upset... because... he seemed to have gotten used to it...

Although he hadn't anticipated this situation, he was mentally prepared for it and it wouldn't affect his mindset too much...

After driving Kong Yue away, Yu Lingxue returned to her previous state, looking heavy-hearted.

"Otherwise, why don't you invite her over for dinner? After all, she hasn't done anything to us, so there's nothing wrong with having a meal together."

Zhou Heng whispered in Yin Mengran's ear, "They have suspicions, but no evidence. They certainly can't just sit idly by in this situation..."

"it is good."

Yin Mengran agreed, stood up, went to Yu Lingxue's side, and tentatively patted her shoulder from behind:

"Um... Yu Lingxue? Would you like to eat with us?"

Upon hearing Yin Mengran's voice, Yu Lingxue's body trembled slightly. She slowly raised her head, turned around, and looked at Yin Mengran.

His expression was as gentle as could be, and his eyes were especially friendly and tender.

She pursed her lips and nodded in agreement:

"Okay... thank you!"

Yu Lingxue, carrying her lunchbox, went with Yin Mengran to Zhou Heng's place.

After sitting down, he pushed his lunchbox forward; it was filled with delicious dishes.

"Try what I made! I made it myself, I don't know if it suits your taste!"

Yu Lingxue seemed to have returned to her usual self, and a smile returned to her face.

Tang Zhi didn't stand on ceremony, picked up a fried egg, took a bite, and asked:

"You don't seem to be in a good mood today. Did something happen?"

"what..."

Yu Lingxue was taken aback by the sudden question, then gave a slightly melancholy look and said:

"It's the exam this morning. I don't know if I'll do well. I feel like I made a lot of careless mistakes..."

"Exams? Are you worried about that?" Zhou Heng frowned slightly and asked.

"Yes, what else would I be worried about? Thank you for your concern! But I'm fine!"

Yu Lingxue's thin lips curved into a gentle smile, a smile that was as warm and comforting as a spring breeze...

Her smile wasn't directed at Zhou Heng; she was looking down at him.

This small gesture was noticed by Yin Mengran, and without realizing it, her feelings for Yu Lingxue grew slightly stronger...

If a girl smiles like that at her boyfriend, she will definitely get angry.

Such a small detail can earn her points.

After lunch, the group tidied up and sat back down in their seats to prepare for the afternoon's exam.

Zhou Heng got up, walked out of the classroom, and prepared to go to the restroom.

Just as Zhou Heng was about to reach the restroom door, he saw a figure walking out of Class One; it was Liao Haomiao.

Upon seeing Zhou Heng, Liao Haomiao waved to him and called out, "Brother!"

"Hey, here we come."

Zhou Heng walked over and went into the restroom with Liao Haomiao.

After entering the restroom, Liao Haomiao glanced back to make sure no one was around, then spoke to Zhou Heng:

"Hey bro, I heard you got a transfer student in your class too?"

Zhou Heng frowned and asked, "Also? Does your class have them too?"

"Yes, there was a guy who came yesterday and talked to me a lot, and he seemed quite interested in you too..."

"Me? A boy? Do you know me?"

"No, he probably doesn't know him. He just said he heard about a legendary figure from the previous sports meet, and he was quite interested in him. Anyone would know about that. I don't know where he heard it from."

"That's strange..."

Zhou Heng pulled up his pants, turned around to wash his hands, and was just about to leave the bathroom when...

Suddenly, I saw a boy appear at the toilet door!

"Oh--"

Liao Haomiao was startled when he saw the boy, but reacted quickly, pointing at him and saying:

"Ah...this is our class, the new transfer student's name is..."

"Bai Cang".

The boy spoke his name before Liao Haomiao could.

But his eyes remained fixed on Zhou Heng.

He was tall and thin, and quite handsome; at least among high school students, he was already considered outstanding.

Zhou Heng felt uncomfortable under that gaze and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Ah... hello."

Zhou Heng nodded, gave him a brief greeting, and then prepared to leave.

But just as Zhou Heng walked forward and came to Bai Cang's side, he suddenly spoke, saying:

"Excuse me, I'd like to talk to you about something, about the new transfer student in your class..."

Zhou Heng stopped, frowned, looked at Bai Cang, and asked, "How did you know?"

"I also know her name, Yu Lingxue. And I also know that after she transferred here yesterday, she's been intentionally or unintentionally appearing around you, hasn't she?"

"You know this too?"

"Yes, so, could I bother you for a moment so we can talk alone?"

"this..."

Zhou Heng looked troubled; his mind was racing, and he felt like he'd gotten himself into some kind of trouble...

However, he did want to know what Yu Lingxue's background was, which was what he wanted to know most these past two days.

"Okay."

Zhou Heng nodded, agreeing to speak with Bai Cang alone.

Liao Haomiao tactfully left first, while Zhou Heng and Bai Cang went to the stairwell.

Bai Cang glanced at the hallway surveillance footage, immediately located the blind spot, stood there, and beckoned Zhou Heng over.

Zhou Heng walked over in confusion and saw Bai Cang take out a cell phone.

After fiddling with it for a while, a video played...

"This is... Yu Lingxue?"

Zhou Heng watched the video; the person in the video was none other than Yu Lingxue.

However, she looked completely different from how she does now.

His expression was cold, and his eyes held a fierce look; his entire demeanor seemed to be the complete opposite of what he remembered.

In the video, she is seen grabbing a girl by the collar.

This scene appears to be...school bullying?
