"I, I..."
In her earpiece, the Xiao Hua system was going crazy.
"Ah, I was the one who chose it, I chose it, Host!! I chose it!!"
However, Su Yan’s attention wasn’t on the keychain charm, but on that white handkerchief instead.
She... originally gave it to Jiang Ran to wipe his sweat.
He was supposed to give it back to her after using it.
So why did he tuck it into his pocket?
The handkerchief Su Yan gave to Jiang Ran, how could he bear to use it?
He had already folded it neatly into his top pocket.
Su Yan opened her mouth, her voice soft and light,
"My handkerchief, you haven’t..." returned it to me yet.
Before she could finish her sentence, he reached out and grabbed her hand.
"Class is about to start, aren’t you going back?"
Su Yan nodded her head.
Right, she almost forgot about that.
He led her by the hand all the way to the staircase entrance.
Through the window, all the students in these ground floor classrooms got a clear view.
Naturally, Yuan Xinlin also saw the whole thing clearly.
That look on his face... wasn’t very pleasant.
But he’s always been patient; soon enough, he composed himself.
Just as he was about to walk back the way he came, he was blocked by Jiang Ran at the staircase entrance.
At that moment, Jiang Ran had lost the laid-back, easy-going demeanor he’d had earlier.
Narrowing his eyes, he sized up Yuan Xinlin with a playful tone,
"You should know who you can touch and who you can’t. You’d better weigh that in your heart."
He paused, then added,
"Otherwise, making a mess and losing yourself in the process might be too much of a loss.
Don’t you think? Classmate?"
Yuan Xinlin looked at him, gripping the test paper tightly.
But he didn’t say a word for a long time.
This person was Jiang Ran from class ten.
He recognized him.
It’s fair to say that no one at Imperial Capital High School didn’t know him.
And naturally, there was some fear in his heart.
But the more he felt this way, the more unwilling Yuan Xinlin was.
He kept silent for a long time.
Jiang Ran chuckled lightly, patting his shoulder as a sign to stop there.
If he still couldn’t take a hint, then Jiang Ran would be blameless for what came next.
Having said this, he turned and walked towards his own class.
Yuan Xinlin stood there at the staircase entrance for a long time, the feeling of unwillingness in his heart growing stronger.
If before Jiang Ran’s interference, he felt he had a fifty percent chance of winning Su Yan’s heart, now, he was determined to succeed!
What can your threats do, Jiang Ran?
Su Yan likes me, Yuan Xinlin, not you, Jiang Ran!
Thinking this, he felt inexplicably comforted.
Clutching the test paper, he headed up to the third floor.
No sooner had he returned to his seat than his deskmate leaned over,
"Hey, Su Yan, didn’t you notice Yao Yufei didn’t come to class today?"
Su Yan turned to look, Yao Yufei’s seat was empty, all her things gone.
Confused,
"Why didn’t she come to class?"
"I heard she transferred. Not just her, it seems that that jerk Yin Kun also dropped out."
"How strange, weren’t they fine just yesterday? In one night, they’re both gone."
After listening to her deskmate’s muttering, Su Yan didn’t speak again.
She never focused on people who had nothing to do with her.
Whether they stay or leave doesn’t matter.
Because to her, it was all the same.
However, the Xiao Hua system seemed to still be fussing over the keychain charm.
"Wuwuwu~ Host, that charm was so pretty, prettier than this Milk Candy!!"
Su Yan was about to console it, but she ended up voicing her own thoughts instead.
"Uh..., I like the Strawberry Milk Candy charm better."
"Ahhh, Host, you’re biased!"
"It’s not bias, it’s a fact."
Su Yan replied earnestly.
That left Xiao Hua with nothing to do but cry.
