Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Quite the Player, Sister

Xie Xiao looked at the words she wrote in her application and was truly fed up.

He simply clicked to approve, and without waiting for a message from the other side, he blocked her with one click.

Then, he turned to Luo Yanran across from him. She happened to hand her phone over, "What do you want to eat?"

Xie Xiao originally wanted to explain, but she cut him off. Taking the phone, he ordered their signature dish and then handed the phone back to her.

He finished the explanation that he had begun, "It's Zhou Mianmian, she seems a bit off lately."

Luo Yanran was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected him to explain, nor had she thought he didn't have Zhou Mianmian as a friend.

She wanted to ask, yet she felt as if she didn't have the right to.

But even if she didn't ask, Xie Xiao knew what was on her mind, so he explained proactively, "I deleted her before. She's been trying to add me back, but I don't want to see her and her messy so-called youth pain literature on my friends list. As for the message she just sent, don't mind it, she always takes you as a hypothetical enemy." Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Xie Xiao added, "Because you are too perfect."

Luo Yanran felt somewhat embarrassed by his compliment of perfection.

After all, she was a teenager and it was hard not to blush when complimented by the person she liked.

She pursed her lips and said softly, "I didn't ask, no need to explain."

However, Xie Xiao smiled and said, "I need to explain, I'm serious."

I'm serious about wanting to build a slow and steady relationship with you, with no two-timing or keeping you hanging to make Zhou Mianmian turn back.

Luo Yanran showed a smile, hummed a note, "Now I know."

On the other side, Zhou Mianmian was walking ahead of and behind a boy from class eight,

She sent the friend request to Xie Xiao purely out of venting, never expecting it to be approved, and her eyes lit up when it was.

Holding her phone, she sent a message to Xie Xiao, [Xie Xiao, you finally accepted.]

She also sent a crying emoji.

But the chat page quickly showed: Your message has been rejected by the recipient!

Had she been blocked by Xie Xiao?

The corners of Zhou Mianmian's mouth which had just perked up became stiff immediately, as if she had been slapped hard in the face.

At this moment, the boy had finally mustered up some mental preparation.

He hurriedly came up next to Zhou Mianmian and said in a low voice, "Mianmian, I've nearly used up all my living expenses for this month."

Zhou Mianmian looked up at him, her face still showing unsorted emotions.

With coldness and stiffness, she asked, "Is that so? What about it?"

The boy felt she was somewhat distant, "Uh, so I probably can't treat you to meals anymore. We should go Dutch from now on."

He couldn't bring himself to ask a girl to treat him to meals; if he suggested going Dutch, he could borrow some money from a friend, and it should be fine until the next month.

But Zhou Mianmian let out a cold laugh, "No need. Starting tomorrow, I won't be eating with you anymore. Thanks for treating me these past few days."

The emphasis on "these past few days" carried some weight.

The boy was stunned for a moment, feeling there was an underlying message in her words. Was she insinuating that his money was too little?

Zhou Mianmian turned and walked away without another word.

At this time, her mood was explosive; she had neither the time nor the patience to deal with a meal ticket.

Without him, there would be others to treat her to meals.

Now, the mere thought of Xie Xiao accepting her friend request just to block her fueled her anger beyond control.

She lowered her head to look again at the glaring rejection message.

Xie Xiao, Luo Yanran, good for you.

The boy finally came to his senses, watching Zhou Mianmian's unhesitating departure, he could not help but show an angry face.

What was Zhou Mianmian implying?

I've spent quite a bit of money on her these days, haven't I?

Stay tuned with m,v le,mpyr

Now, just because I said I don't have money, we're not eating together anymore?

I never asked her to treat me to a meal, right?

Wasn't I just asking if we could go Dutch?

He strode after her, "Mianmian, what do you mean?"

He even reached out and grabbed Zhou Mianmian's wrist.

Zhou Mianmian shook off his hand with some disgust, with no mood to pretend at the moment, "What are you doing? Let go!"

This wasn't far from the school, and there were students coming and going.

Many thought it was a couple arguing and looked over.

Zhou Mianmian frowned at the boy, "This is a school!"

"Then what do you mean? When I had money, you'd come out to eat with me every day, but once I say I'm broke, you change your tune. What's that supposed to mean?" The boy's emotions were also a bit agitated, and Zhou Mianmian's disgusted face irritated him, making his voice grow louder.

Zhou Mianmian was taken aback by his passionate reaction.

A lot of people had already stopped to watch the drama unfold, and the campus police were not far away.

She didn't want to make a scene, so she softened her expression and tone, "I didn't mean it like that..."

Just as she was about to show a gentle and fragile smile to the boy, to calm him down and explain herself.

Yan Shi's voice came through, "What's going on? Are you okay, Mianmian?"

While speaking, he pulled back the hand that the boy was holding on to and gave the boy a glare, "What's with the dragging and pulling?"

Yan Shi had been down in the dumps all day, and he was also annoyed that Zhou Mianmian was still concerned about Xie Xiao, so he hadn't paid much attention to her.

When eating out with the brothers, they all told him that Zhou Mianmian wasn't worth it, saying she definitely wasn't an easy one to deal with.

Moreover, if Xie Xiao couldn't even chase after her, he might as well give up. Plus, he got into a fight and had to write a self-criticism. What a loss!

Anyway, it just added to Yan Shi's already annoyed mood.

And then he saw Zhou Mianmian dragging and pulling with someone as soon as he got back from dinner.

His anger surged instantly, and he rushed over.

The other boy looked at him and frowned, "This is between Zhou Mianmian and me. Who do you think you are?"

Yan Shi sneered, "Her problems are my problems. Who doesn't know that?"

"Yan Shi, don't you have any shame? You're just one of Zhou Mianmian's suitors; what's the difference between you and me? Right now, this is between Zhou Mianmian and me." The boy clearly knew who Yan Shi was, and before he might not have dared to confront him directly, but today Zhou Mianmian's attitude really chilled his heart, so he couldn't help himself.

True enough, Yan Shi's face darkened even more at the boy's words, "You know nothing."

He turned his head towards the pale-faced Zhou Mianmian, "Mianmian, tell him who I am. Why are you with him?"

Zhou Mianmian realized that the onlookers were increasing by the minute, and right now, all she wanted to do was escape.

This wasn't what she intended.

Every time she went out with Li Le, she would intentionally avoid Yan Shi so they wouldn't run into each other.

She didn't expect that today they would actually bump into each other.

Yan Shi was known for his temper, and he had even fought with Xie Xiao at noon,

Zhou Mianmian wasn't surprised at all that now he might start a fight with Li Le because of her.

She didn't speak immediately.

Both the boys frowned.

Yan Shi's friends all stepped forward, "What's going on? Say something, will you? Are you stringing our Stone along while dating someone else?"

"You sure know how to play, little sister, don't you?"

Zhou Mianmian's face turned white in an instant.
