"No way," Jiang Moxi pushed up her black-framed glasses, rejecting him emotionlessly like a machine.
"I really do like you, and it's not a prank. I want a definitive answer."
Lin Xian saw Jiang Moxi's ethereal beauty that day, and now seeing her deliberately making herself look unattractive, he could faintly see her true self, and his heart continued to flutter for her.
His gaze softened unconsciously, becoming affectionate.
Lin Xian had never failed in pursuing girls, especially in front of so many people, which made him somewhat embarrassed.
He hurriedly stuffed a movie ticket into Jiang Moxi's hand: "Then come watch a movie with me."
But Jiang Moxi, with her straightforward attitude, tried to push the ticket back into Lin Xian's hand: "I won't go."
"In front of all these people, give me some face," Lin Xian refused to take it back, adding, "Anyway, I'll show you through my actions that my feelings for you are real. And don't stand me up tonight."
Lin Xian waved his hand, leaned coolly on the car door with one hand, got into the Ferrari, and drove away under the envious eyes of the crowd.
As the crowd dispersed following Lin Xian's departure, Jiang Weiwei appeared among them.
She carried a backpack, wore First University's iconic white blouse and checkered pleated skirt, and her long, fair, straight legs were extremely striking in the crowd.
Her friend Nie Yurou spotted her in an instant and ran up to her: "Weiwei, did you know Lin Xian just confessed to Ugly Betty?"
"It's so weird. How could Lin Xian suddenly fall for Ugly Betty? Could it be that Ugly Betty has some unknown merits, like being especially pretty without makeup?"
Jiang Weiwei smiled, her demeanor as calm as a gentle breeze.
Because she didn't think Jiang Moxi could look all that pretty.
Moreover, she knew that Lin Xian's everlasting crush had always been her, Jiang Weiwei.
Perhaps he confessed to Jiang Moxi to stir her feelings... now that she was about to get engaged to Fu Yiming...
"Moxi, I heard that Dog Lin confessed to you just now? Is it true?"
Just as Jiang Moxi entered the classroom, whispers filled the air, and Mu Wanting came up to her.
Mu Wanting was the type to befriend others easily. On seeing Jiang Moxi keeping to herself since last year's admission, she took the initiative to befriend her.
Later on, they became friends.
"Yeah." Jiang Moxi saw a packet of cookies in Mu Wanting's bag and naturally tore it open to eat.
"Is this his new prank?" Mu Wanting asked again.
Mu Wanting watched Jiang Moxi eat the cookies, frowning slightly.
"It's not good to eat cookies every day. Have some vegetables and fruits too."
"Vegetables and fruits taste so bad. Cookies are much better."
Just as they were talking, a freshly made breakfast from a certain five-star hotel suddenly appeared before them.
They both looked up to see one of Lin Xian's underlings.
"This is the breakfast Brother Xian just packed for you, both Chinese and Western styles."
Not waiting for Jiang Moxi's refusal, the underling put it down and ran off.
"Could Dog Lin really be serious?" Mu Wanting was dumbfounded.
"Who knows..." Jiang Moxi remained silent, continuing to nibble on the steamed bun Mu Wanting brought.
In the end, the breakfast became a treat for the Scavenger near the school.
As night fell, Yu Dingding again sought out Jiang Moxi for Skin Relaxing Pills.
Moreover, she seemed in a hurry this time, calling directly.
"Do you need it in these two days? But isn't the Skin Relaxing Pill you have still effective?"
Jiang Moxi was worried about Yu Dingding's excessive use of the pill affecting her health and asked further.
But Yu Dingding said, "I accidentally lost the one I had when soaking in the hot springs."
"Fine, I have two pills left. Let's meet at the usual place later."
Right after Jiang Moxi ended the call, Jiang Weiwei pushed the door and entered.
"Mimi? Mimi, are you there?"
She wore a pink nightgown, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, looking extremely sweet.
Seeing Jiang Moxi looking at her as if seeing an intruder, Jiang Weiwei was not annoyed and even smiled, asking, "Moxi, have you seen the cat?"
"It couldn't possibly be in my room!" Jiang Moxi said.
In the same space, only one of them could stay – her or the cat.
"I see, then I'll go look in the other rooms."
Jiang Weiwei left the room with a smile.
Jiang Moxi narrowed her eyes and picked up the phone to delete the call log she just had.
On the same night, Lin Xian wore a white suit, his hair neatly groomed, holding a bouquet of 99 red roses.
He waited for Jiang Moxi to show up, confident that after a whole day of relentless pursuit and tonight's movie theater love declaration, he would definitely win over Jiang Moxi...
