Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Being Admired (3)_1 Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Being Admired (3)_1 At that moment, a sour feeling welled up in Nan Feng’s heart.
She regretted deeply, thinking, ‘Just now I thought he was a good man who didn’t care about looks, but it seems he does care.
No wonder he emphasizes being just friends with me, the ugly ones can only be friends.’
Nan Feng was quite upset.
She wanted to silently turn around and leave, but then she thought, ‘I haven’t done anything wrong, why should I leave?’
So she walked over confidently.
But as soon as she passed by Ye Ge, he noticed her.
She casually smiled, “Ye Ge, what a coincidence running into you here.”
Ye Ge seemed slightly startled, then asked, “Nan Feng?
You’re back so soon?”
However, Nan Feng looked at the twin girls and teased, “Looks like you have beauties at your side, I won’t bother you then.”
The girl immediately said, “Hey, don’t make things up, there’s nothing going on between us.”
Meanwhile, Ye Ge appeared thoughtful.
Nan Feng gave the girl a blank look, and continued walking forward.
But she didn’t get very far before Ye Ge caught up with her, walking side by side with her.
Nan Feng was still upset, thinking how she had been looking for him and he was off somewhere chatting up pretty girls.
“You’re not with your beauty?” Nan Feng asked without slowing down, her tone cranky.
To her surprise, Ye Ge replied: “Aren’t I with her right now?”
“…” Nan Feng stopped in her tracks, noticing a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth.
Nan Feng still irritated said, “I’m not a beauty, I’m the ugly girl from Datun Village, Nan Feng.”
“And I’m the ugly man Ye Ge,” he responded.
Nan Feng immediately pouted, but could not hold back a giggle.
But she quickly became serious again: “I was looking for you just now, but couldn’t spot you anywhere.
You were with a real beauty instead, one of Datun Village’s most sought-after sisters.
Do you like them too?”
Ye Ge, seeing how upset Nan Feng was, already had an idea about what she was upset about.
With this question, he got the full picture.
This girl was not happy to see him hanging out with other girls.
Ye Ge explained, “That girl was running towards the river and accidentally bumped into me, tripping over.
I was just helping her get up.
As for the village flower you are talking about, I was completely in the dark.”
Just helping her get up?
Nan Feng, still unsatisfied, asked: “She doesn’t seem frail, how come she fell over after bumping into you?”
“She was probably scared, upon seeing my face,” Ye Ge replied nonchalantly.
Nan Feng immediately recalled Chen Chen’s terrified look when he saw her face.
Unexpectedly, Ye Ge had the same experience!
Nan Feng felt like laughing, but she couldn’t.
She only felt utterly helpless.
She sighed, “It really is tough being ugly.”
She then told Ye Ge about what happened at the river, and when she mentioned how Chen Chen was so terrified, a bright light flashed in Ye Ge’s eyes.
Apparently, she didn’t like that young man, going to the riverbanks was just to keep him away.
He suddenly laughed, this time his laughter was audible, and his laugh was as pleasant as his speaking voice.
This was the first time Nan Feng saw Ye Ge laugh this way.
“You’re laughing at me in my desperate state?” Nan Feng was both amusing and annoying.
But then she thought about it, she scared off a boy with her ugliness, and he scared off a girl with his.
It was kind of funny.
So, she chuckled along.
