Xie Xiao looked at the chibi version of the girl doll, somewhat enamored by its beauty, as it was truly pretty.

So when Zhou Mianmian's voice called out to him, the smile on his face solidified for a moment.

He sighed, and when he turned to look at her, the smile had already vanished from his eyes.

She hadn't sent a friend request last night, and he had thought she had given up.

"What's up?" Xie Xiao asked as he saw her, carefully putting the ceramic doll into his backpack.

"Can't I find you if there's nothing wrong?" Zhou Mianmian asked somewhat inexplicably, "In the past, we could talk from morning till night, you used to hang up the phone only after I had fallen asleep..."

Her voice was a bit choked up as she said this.

Xie Xiao frowned, "Big sister, don't start crying so early in the morning at me, I haven't done anything..."

He got up, feeling somewhat irritated.

His good mood for the day was just mysteriously ruined.

The classmates who had arrived early were all sneaking glances at them.

Their eyes filled with curiosity and gossip.

Zhou Mianmian probably realized how strange she was acting. She wiped away her tears and looked at Xie Xiao, "I just want to ask one thing, what is your relationship with Luo Yanran?"

"What does that have to do with you?" Xie Xiao retorted. He never realized before how... indescribable Zhou Mianmian's character was.

Xie Xiao really didn't plan to be the monkey in the zoo for people to gawk at. He looked at Zhou Mianmian, "I'm going to have breakfast now. Don't stand here, it's quite off-putting."

Zhou Mianmian stared at him with wide eyes.

Finally, she whispered, "Xie Xiao, I thought about it a lot last night. Are you sick? Tell me, and I will definitely..."

"No, don't start cursing people so early in the morning," Xie Xiao interrupted her, somewhat speechless, keeping his voice very low, "Zhou Mianmian, stop harassing me. With so many people looking, do you think Yan Shi wouldn't find out? I'm completely over you, unless I lose my mind, I will never get back together with you. Do you understand?"

"It still shouldn't be Luo Yanran," Zhou Mianmian pleaded, her voice full of longing, "Just promise me it won't be Luo Yanran, and I won't bother you anymore."

"If your brain is sick, go get it checked," Xie Xiao again felt speechless and found it somewhat humorous, "Who I'm with is none of your business, right?"

Gradually, more classmates had come in, and the two of them standing there were quite conspicuous; basically, anyone who came in noticed them right away.

Not to mention the other classmates' gossipy looks.

Someone had already started live-broadcasting it in the class group chat.

[Zhou Mianmian is stopping Xie Xiao, I don't know what they're talking about, her eyes are all red.]

[I heard it, seems like she's jealous because of Xie Xiao and Sister Luo?]

[If I were Xie Xiao, I'd choose Sister Luo.]

[+1]

[+2]

[+10086]

The class monitor replied in the group chat, [Aren't you guys forgetting that the two people you're discussing are also in this group?]

The people above immediately started retracting their messages.

Except for the very first one.

Then that guy started spamming emojis frantically.

But what needed to be seen had already been seen.

Like Yan Shi, who was originally in line to buy breakfast for Zhou Mianmian, and Lin Yu, who had just got off the bus with his breakfast.

Their facial expressions were both very "what the hell".

Then they both hurried towards the classroom.

Yan Shi felt his face burning when he saw the message; just yesterday, he had been boasting about how it was only a matter of time before he won Zhou Mianmian over, but today she was facing Xie Xiao with tears in her eyes.

It seemed like in the group chat, people still believed Zhou Mianmian was actively pursuing Xie Xiao.

What did this make him then?

When Yan Shi entered the classroom, he walked straight to Zhou Mianmian and forcefully pulled her towards him before positioning himself in front of her and glaring at Xie Xiao, "Hadn't I warned you not to hassle her?" seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Xie Xiao's generally good temper also couldn't hold back his anger, and he retorted sarcastically, "Then tell her not to bother me, I really don't have the time to entangle with her. Don't start barking like a dog first thing in the morning."

Yan Shi's face turned pale with anger as he reached out to grab Xie Xiao's school uniform.

But since he was shorter than Xie Xiao, Xie Xiao stepped back and dodged his move, then coldly turned to Zhou Mianmian behind him, "Aren't you going to say something? Cat got your tongue?"

His eyes filled with disgust.

Seeing Zhou Mianmian daunted by his stern gaze, Xie Xiao let out a sneer.

Then mockingly looked at Yan Shi, "Want to know what happened? Why don't you ask the other classmates? Isn't it obvious who is pestering whom? I thought of keeping things less ugly since we're in the same class, but if you start a fight, that's a different story."

"Yan Shi, remember that I practice Sanshou?"

Lin Yu had just stepped in when he heard this sentence.

He raised an eyebrow and walked to Xie Xiao's side, looking at Yan Shi and Zhou Mianmian, "What's up? Looking for trouble?"

Yan Shi felt somewhat embarrassed now that Xie Xiao had reminded him.

Xie Xiao had even won awards in Sanshou competitions before.

He clearly wouldn't be able to beat him.

Moreover, Lin Yu had also arrived.

The classmates he got along with might not necessarily want to help him fight, but Lin Yu would definitely help Xie Xiao.

But to walk away now would be too humiliating with so many people watching.

At this point, Yan Shi felt somewhat resentful towards Zhou Mianmian for putting him in such an embarrassing situation.

And why hasn't the class president arrived yet?

Just then, Zhou Mianmian tugged at Yan Shi from behind, "It's okay, it was a misunderstanding, I was just..."

Her voice carried a sobbing tone, sounding pitiful, "I was just asking Xie Xiao a question."

At that moment, Yan Shi's deskmate stepped forward, "Haha, it's a misunderstanding, everyone let's return to our seats okay?"

Yan Shi breathed a sigh of relief but still gave Xie Xiao a fierce glare before turning to head to his seat.

He didn't take another look at Zhou Mianmian.

Zhou Mianmian didn't notice as she glanced at Xie Xiao once more before turning to head back to her seat.

The spectators, seeing Lin Yu's stern gaze, also turned their attention away.

Not wanting to provoke, Xie Xiao might talk things through, but Lin Yu was known for being volatile and likely to strike first.

Lin Yu clicked his tongue, looking at Xie Xiao, "Aren't you developing something with Luo Sister? What are you still pulling and dragging with her?"

Xie Xiao fell silent for a moment, feeling very innocent.

But then he couldn't help thinking about another issue, "Did you know there's a post about us two in our school's forum?"

Lin Yu clearly did not catch on immediately, wondering how the conversation had turned to a post.

He shook his head, "No, what's that about?"

Xie Xiao paused, "That post is about our CP fan, initially everyone thought we were switches, but now I feel like I'm becoming the bottom."

Lin Yu: ????? What on earth is he talking about? Why don't I understand?

Gradually, Lin Yu's expression twisted as he slammed his breakfast onto the table and reached out his hand to punch Xie Xiao, "Looking for a beating, are you?"

"Great, now you're going to turn into a domestic abuser!"

"Xie Xiao! Die!" Lin Yu roared and lunged at him.
