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

Chapter 12 You'd need insulin to finish this, right?

"Ranran! You're finally here! I was so worried about you, what happened?"

The moment Tong Yining saw Yin Mengran, she immediately ran over and hugged her tightly.

They looked as if they had found a long-lost relative.

"Ah... I... something happened at home... so I haven't been able to come..."

Yin Mengran answered verbally, but her gaze drifted towards Zhou Heng and the others.

Most of the students gathered around Yin Mengran, but Zhou Heng and his friends remained seated in their own places.

Yin Mengran saw Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi chatting non-stop. Where did they get so many topics to talk about?

I've been staying at Zhou Heng's house, and he's never talked to me this much...

"Class monitor! The teacher wants to see you in the office."

"okay."

Yin Mengran stood up, preparing to go to the teacher's office. Before leaving, her eyes were fixed on Zhou Heng, but she didn't see him glance at her...

After walking out the door, Yin Mengran felt a little strange. It was normal for Zhou Heng to chat with her at the same table, so why did she feel unbalanced?

Is it because Zhou Heng hasn't talked to me that much...?

But that's normal, considering I wasn't familiar with Zhou Heng before...

Yin Mengran's mind was racing with random thoughts, and she didn't see anyone in front of her.

"boom--"

Yin Mengran bumped into the person, quickly took a step back, and said, "Ah... I'm sorry."

"Yin Mengran? You're here at school?"

Yin Mengran looked up and saw the boy in front of her looking at her with a surprised expression.

"Lu Yunshuo... yeah, these past few days... something's been going on at home..."

The boy in front of me was tall; he was the class's sports representative. In the few days after I left school, he seemed to frequently send me messages to check on me.

However, she didn't reply to him until she finally threw her phone into the river.

"Are you alright? You don't seem to be doing well."

Lu Yunshuo lowered his head, getting close to Yin Mengran's face, as if trying to discern something from her expression.

Yin Mengran took a step back, quickly moving around him, and said:

"The teacher wants me to go to the office, bye-bye."

They then hurriedly fled the area.

Lu Yunshuo turned back to look at Yin Mengran's departing figure, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"What will they talk about...? Will Zhou Heng tell Tang Zhi about him staying at her house?"

"I didn't know much about Tang Zhi before. She seemed to be quite quiet, and she didn't respond very enthusiastically when I talked to her. Could it be that they have similar personalities, so they have things to talk about?"

"Tang Zhi's grades are very good. Zhou Heng probably asks her for help with any questions he doesn't understand..."

"Yin Mengran?"

"Ah..." Startled by the call, Yin Mengran suddenly snapped out of her daze, realizing she was still in front of her teacher.

What was I thinking about just now...? My thoughts drifted so far away...

The teacher held Yin Mengran's hand and said softly:

"Are you alright? I understand how you feel right now. If you're feeling particularly bad, tell the teacher. If you're having any difficulties, just say so. You'll definitely get through this. If any of your classmates say anything offensive, come and tell the teacher, and the teacher will deal with them."

"Okay, thank you, teacher..."

Yin Mengran knew she had to look forward. She had been in extreme grief for the past ten days, and had thought of everything she needed to think about.

Unfortunately, the facts are the facts, and no matter how sad she is, she can't change anything.

Back in the classroom, her classmates showered Yin Mengran with concern, demonstrating just how popular she was in the class.

Zhou Heng glanced at the crowd that was quickly forming around Yin Mengran. He wasn't surprised at all; he had already guessed this would happen.

Fortunately, Yin Mengran was sitting quite far away from him, so it was relatively quiet there.

If a group of people surrounded him, he could cause a huge disturbance.

"Hey hey hey..."

Suddenly, someone ran up to Zhou Heng. He sighed helplessly; it seemed the only person who would cause trouble here had arrived...

Kong Yue held a bag in his hand and handed it to Tang Zhi: "Um... Tang Zhi, this is for you."

Zhou Heng glanced at it and saw that it was a bag of candy. He guessed that Kong Yue probably bought it because he saw Tang Zhi eating candy often.

Tang Zhi didn't even look at it, and shook her head, saying, "Thank you, but I don't want it."

"Uh... I've already bought it, so just accept it. If you really can't stand it, just throw it away."

Kong Yue placed the bag on Tang Zhi's desk, then turned and returned to his seat.

Tang Zhi sighed, looking at the bag of candy in front of her, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"You'd need insulin to finish this, right?"

"Hmm, congratulations in advance on getting diabetes."

Zhou Heng merely made a mocking remark, and suddenly a huge pile of candy appeared on his table...

Tang Zhi shrugged and said:

Let's celebrate together.

"After eating all this, when will it be metabolized? I don't want it. Why don't you listen to him and just throw it away?"

Zhou Heng shook his head, refused her, and put all the candies back.

He hasn't had time to exercise lately because of various things, and eating so much sugar on top of that is really bad for him.

"Sigh—oh well, let's eat slowly." Tang Zhi put all the candies into the bag and placed it on the ground.

"If you accept it once, you give him hope, and he will give you gifts countless times afterward. Whether you accept it or not, if you don't accept it, he will keep bothering you. If you accept it, and you don't agree to his request, he will condemn you for accepting gifts even though you didn't agree to his request."

"..."

Tang Zhi looked completely speechless, covered her face, and muttered:

"That's why I hate being in a relationship, it's such a hassle..."

Then, she picked up the bag of candy, handed it to Zhou Heng, and said:

"Please help me return it to him. I will reward you handsomely after you do it."

"It's none of my business, go pay it back yourself."

"I'll give you the rare mount that dropped from the boss."

"Bring it here."

Zhou Heng grabbed the bag of candy, stood up, and went to Kong Yue's seat.

Kong Yue was still gloating when, a second later, the bag he had handed out was thrown back at him.

"Dude, take it back, she doesn't want it."

Zhou Heng looked down at Kong Yue and said calmly.

Kong Yue paused slightly, turned to look at Zhou Heng, his brows furrowed.

He stood up, glaring at them, then tilted his head and put his hands on his hips:

"What does this have to do with you?"

Zhou Heng remained expressionless and said, "It's alright, I just delivered it back on your behalf."

"Why are you so nosy? You wouldn't happen to like Tang Zhi, would you?!"

Kong Yue deliberately raised his voice at the end of his sentence, and instantly, the entire classroom fell silent.

Even the usually boisterous Yin Mengran fell silent, turning to look at Zhou Heng and his group.

Yin Mengran and Tong Yining stared wide-eyed almost simultaneously, their faces filled with disbelief.

Zhou Heng remained expressionless, closed his eyes, and exhaled.

Then he reached into the bag, took out a few candies, and peeled off the coating.

The next second, they stuffed the whole thing into Kong Yue's mouth!
