"Boss, get up and come outside with me..." Zhao Xiaotian was probably too excited, completely ignoring Boss Leng Xuan’s displeasure as he grabbed his hand and dashed outside.
Leng Xuan also became curious because of his behavior and didn’t resist, letting himself be pulled outside.
Li Mengjie looked up and with a slightly changed expression, asked, "Xue Jiu, what happened?"
Ling Xuejiu replied irritably, "How would I know!"
Li Mengjie said with a smile, "Let’s go outside and take a look too."
"Not going!" Ling Xuejiu declared firmly. Since last night when Leng Xuan refused to support her, she had secretly resolved to ignore that smelly boy from now on. Seeing Li Mengjie’s curious face, she couldn’t help but say, "Xiao Jie, why are you so concerned about him? If you really like him, just confess to him directly. Don’t keep dragging me into it."
Li Mengjie’s face turned red, not expecting Ling Xuejiu to be so blunt, and certainly not in a joking tone, which made her feel too embarrassed to go outside afterward.
"Brother Leng Xuan!" Su Yurou’s expressionless, stunning face lit up with a flower-like smile when she saw Leng Xuan being dragged out by Zhao Xiaotian. She let go of Hua Hua’s hand and trotted over to Leng Xuan.
"Hmm?" Leng Xuan paused, appearing still half-asleep, and asked, "Yurou, what are you doing here?" As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed countless envious, jealous, and resentful eyes on him, which made him feel awkward, and he touched his nose.
"Brother Leng Xuan, this is for you!" Su Yurou gave him a white pouch with a casual grandeur, seemingly oblivious to the stares around her.
"What’s this?" Leng Xuan glanced at it and noticed a white box inside the pouch, wondering what was in it.
"Brother Leng Xuan, you can look at it later," Su Yurou said with a slightly blushing face and a soft voice, "I’ll go back to class now. If you need anything, just text me!" Then she turned and walked away arm in arm with Hua Hua.
"Boss, is that a gift from Mengzhu?" Zhao Xiaotian seemed even more excited than Leng Xuan, saying, "Quick, take it out and see?" As he spoke, the boys around them craned their necks to see what the gift Mengzhu had given Leng Xuan was.
Before Leng Xuan could respond, Zhao Xiaotian had already taken the little box out. Although it wasn’t opened yet, many had already deduced from the smartphone graphic on the outer box, "Wow, it’s an Apple phone!"
"And it’s the latest model, too. I heard this phone costs over seven thousand now!"
"I didn’t expect Mengzhu to be so generous!"
"Does Mengzhu need a pretty boy? Does she need to pick someone like him?"
"Her taste is really poor."
"What do you know, she’s Mengzhu. How could you ordinary people understand Mengzhu’s vision?" A student from a less affluent background said this. After all, stories like the princess and the frog were the most beautiful fairy tales for these poorer students. His words immediately enlightened some students who had been envious of Leng Xuan, praising Su Yurou for being no longer merely human but the extraordinary Nine Heavens Fairy.
"..."
Leng Xuan was speechless and didn’t bother to care about what others were saying. He took the box containing the phone from Zhao Xiaotian and went back to class. As soon as he sat down, he noticed that little girl Li Mengjie looking at him with eyes full of curiosity. He guessed if it weren’t for her concern about Ling Xuejiu not wanting everyone to know about their special relationship, this little girl would have come over to ask by now.
