After treating Huo Siqian to a meal, Huo Mian felt much more relaxed.
After all, she had returned the favor. There shouldn’t be any trouble in the future right?
It was still early when she got home. She helped her mother and cleaned the room for a while before watching the eight o’clock drama together.
Zhixin was working hard on his homework. He didn’t dare to ask his sister if he came across anything he didn’t know.
After all, he was afraid that his sister would call him a pig.
At 9:30 PM, Huo Mian felt sleepy, so she washed up and got into bed.
Qin Chu sent a message.
Qin Chu: “What are you doing?”
Huo Mian: “Um… I just lay down in bed.”
Qin Chu: “So… you’re under your covers?”
Huo Mian froze for a second. Although Qin Chu’s question made sense, she felt like something was wrong.
Huo Mian: “Yeah, is there anything else?”
Qin Chu: “Let’s have lunch tomorrow.”
Huo Mian jokingly replied, “Are you treating?
Qin Chu: “Mhm.”
Qin Chu wasn’t someone who liked to joke around, so whenever Huo Mian joked around, he would answer seriously.
It was an awkward conversation, so Huo Mian didn’t reply.
However, a minute later, Qin Chu added, “Bring Zhu Lingling along.”
“What? Are you interested in my Lingling?” Huo Mian smiled cheekily.
Mr. Qin didn’t reply; he didn’t want to answer such a stupid question.
After putting down his phone, Qin Chu lay in bed and couldn’t help but smile.
Who said Huo Mian was a genius? She was clearly an idiot…
Otherwise, how would everyone see that he liked her while she herself asks if he liked Zhu Lingling?
The next morning, the two of them did not interact much.
Huo Mian was still sleeping in the last row, reading romance novels and historical books. She was enjoying herself.
Qin Chu, on the other hand, was playing with his phone in his seat as if they weren’t even related.
At lunchtime.
The moment the bell rang, Liu Siying rushed over.
Ignoring the looks of the other students, she looked at Qin Chu ingratiatingly and said, “There’s a new Sichuan restaurant nearby, and the spicy pickled fish is really delicious… My dad gave me a gold card with 10,000 yuan in it, I want to take you there.”
Liu Siying was indeed from a wealthy family. She was the only daughter in the family, so she was a little overbearing and liked to force others.
She even liked to mock and ridicule others. She had all the flaws of a spoilt girl.
Other than her classmate, an honest girl from the countryside, almost no other girls liked her.
However, she didn’t care about that. She came to Second High and Class One for Qin Chu.
She and Qin Chu were middle school classmates, and during those three years, she swore to herself—
No matter what, she was going to woo Qin Chu and marry him.
It did not matter if others said that she was shameless. After all, happiness was between the two people.
Qin Chu didn’t even look up as he continued playing his game.
Then he rejected her flatly, “I don’t like spicy pickled fish.”
“What do you like to eat?” Liu Siying seemed to be unwilling to give up.
Qin Chu ignored her and stood up to look at Huo Mian. “Let’s go to the cafeteria.”
“Um…”
Huo Mian felt a little awkward; after all, she didn’t want to take the blame.
She saw the murderous look in Liu Siying’s eyes.
However, in order not to be killed by that gaze, she quietly followed Qin Chu to the cafeteria.
Halfway there, she couldn’t help but ask, “Hey, I say… are you trying to use me to get rid of Liu Siying?”
Huo Mian suddenly felt indignant, thinking that this guy might have ulterior motives..
