Li Ming coughed and stopped her, “Xu Meng, don’t say that. He Miao has just joined our class. It’s better for her to get familiar with everyone first.”

“Oh! That’s right!” Xu Meng had always been carefree. After Li Meng’s reminder, she finally reacted and quickly began introducing their classmates to He Miao.

Before she could finish her sentence, someone knocked on the classroom door.

Everyone in the class turned around and was surprised to see Jing Yan standing at the door with a gloomy face.

“He Miao, come out.”

After saying this, Jing Yan turned around and left.

He Miao did not know why he was here, but it was all thanks to him that she could recover so quickly.

She apologized to her classmates and stood up to leave.

Jing Yan was standing at the corner of the corridor, waiting for her with his head lowered.

“What’s the matter?” He Miao walked over and asked in confusion.

“Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Jing Yan looked at her expressionlessly, his hands still in his pockets. He looked unhappy.

He Miao was stunned, then she said, “Thank you?”

Jing Yan did not come here to listen to her talk about this, but he was more and more irritated after staying in the classroom for the whole morning. He wanted to go out for a walk, but his feet did not listen to him and he came here.

She did not expect to hear such words when she walked to the back door of her class.

“No need.” Jing Yan looked down at her coldly. “I’m just here to see if you’ve recovered so that I can explain to Grandpa when I get back.”

“Please thank Grandpa Jing for me and tell him not to worry too much.” He Miao’s adorable look made Jing Yan’s throat tighten.

He looked away and stared at a pot of fresh flowers on the windowsill. “This Saturday, Grandpa said he wanted to see you. Come earlier.”

“Alright,” he said. He Miao nodded and did not refuse.

She had always treated Old Master Jing as her own grandfather. This old man was truly good to her, and she naturally should be filial to him.

Jing Yan’s mood, which had been gloomy the whole morning, suddenly brightened up. “I’ll leave first.”

“Alright,” he said. He Miao nodded and turned to return to the classroom.

Li Ming was waiting for her at the door. He asked her with a smile, “Are you free next Saturday? My friend gave me two tickets for a perfume making competition.”

“Alright.” He Miao had not made perfume by herself for a long time, and her heart itched when he heard that there was a competition.

In fact, she wanted to participate in the competition but Li Ming did not think much about it. They were all newbies in making perfumes and were still in the stage of learning the theory. At most, they would be joining in the fun of such a large-scale competition and see how the pros made incense. They were still far from being able to do it themselves.

Seeing that she had agreed, Li Ming asked again, “Then can I bring Luoluo along? Luoluo misses you very much. Ever since she saw you last time, she’s been clamoring to play with you again.”

“Of course it’s okay,” He Miao agreed without a second thought. She had always liked children, and the cute Luoluo simply touched her heart, always making her feel tender love for her.

“Then it’s settled.” Li Ming smiled as she watched her walk into the classroom. She turned her head slightly and the man with deep and cold eyes behind her saw. A faint smile was on her lips.

It was actually him.

Jing Yan clenched his fists. The joy he felt just now was completely washed away by the two’s laughter.

This d*mned woman, she’s already making eyes at someone on her first day here. How did I not know that she likes to smile so much! Has she always put on a straight face in front of me?

Jing Yan was suddenly stunned. He suddenly thought of He Miao from the past. Back then, she would often smile at him like a fool, and there was a hint of foolishness in her smile. It was completely different from the gentle smile she had now.

Jing Yan realized very clearly that this woman really did not like him anymore, and she might have already fallen for someone else.

A sense of defeat, as if he had been betrayed, welled up in him, but he quickly suppressed it.

Whether this woman was ugly in the past or she had become extremely beautiful now, it had nothing to do with him.

He would never like her, and the only reason he cared about her now was because he would be unlucky enough to become her dog!

As long as they were not involved, he did not care who she liked.

He strode back to his classroom, and after class, Mu Xiao was shocked by his ashen face.

“Brother Yan, who provoked you?” Mu Xiao carefully tugged at Jing Yan’s sleeve, but Jing Yan pushed him away. Mu Xiao did not dare to provoke him anymore.

He was afraid that he would get beaten up for no reason.
