“Don’t forget that you’re a man too.” Li Meng rolled her eyes at him.
“I’m a great man. I’m different from scum like Fu Siye and stupid men like Bo Junyan. I’m a good man who will treat only the person I like well and live a good life!” Wu Xingye said as he looked at Li Meng.
Li Meng shifted her gaze away uneasily when she met his gaze. “Every man would say such things when they’re in love. Out of ten men, nine are scum, and the last one bats for the other team.”
Wu Xingye: “…”
He knew that this was just her way of changing the subject.
But he did not continue. He knew that she had a knot in her heart, and he needed to take it slow, lest they could not even be friends.
In the past, Wu Xingye had always felt that those who did not pursue girls because they were afraid that they would not be able to be friends afterward were stupid. It was only now that he realized that it was not that they were stupid, but that they cherished each other so much that they were afraid. They were afraid that they would lose each other if they were not careful. Hence, they were careful not to make a move.
Suddenly, he understood Bo Junyan a little.
He must have felt that way because he was afraid of losing her. After all, he had just rushed back from work when he heard that his wife was leaving him. He was such a strong person and was used to using force to keep what he wanted. Hence, he instinctively used force.
Mu Huan, who had always been a good student, applied for three days of leave before coming to school.
The moment she stepped into the classroom, she could feel the fiery atmosphere in the classroom.
“Xiao Huan, you’re finally here!” When Li Meng saw her, she immediately pulled her to sit down.
“What’s wrong?”
“Today, all the newspapers, websites, and all the other media outlets that had reported about Bo Junyan and Ling Wei’s wedding date have been sued by Bo Junyan. Now, the website has stopped updating, and the front page only has an apology letter for the false reports. The newspaper used the entire page to write an apology letter. I heard that a few editors-in-chief have been arrested.”
Mu Huan: “…”
Where did he get the time to do all this? Also, don’t think that just because he did all this, she would forgive his actions these past few days!
“Didn’t Long Feiting show you the English newspaper previously? I heard that those foreign media outlets have also published an apology letter to apologize for the untrue reports from before! This matter has become a hot topic on the internet and it’s very lively in our school. Quick, take a look…” Li Meng showed her the phone.
“Hmph.” Mu Huan snorted and took out her book, not even looking at the phone Li Meng was holding.
“What’s wrong? Have you two not made up?” Li Meng asked.
“Made up? Who wants to make up with a lunatic like him?!” Mu Huan’s expression was cold.
Li Meng: “…”
What was going on? Why was it that after resting for a few days, not only did they not reconcile, but she even felt worse?
She snapped back to her senses and said, “You didn’t explain it to him? That you were just thinking of a way out that day and making assumptions?”
“Ha…” Mu Huan snorted and did not speak.
Li Meng asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Avacaniya[1],” Mu Huan said as she lowered her head to read.
Li Meng: “…”
What’s going on? She can’t even tell me…
At noon, Mu Huan ate a lot, so much so that even Li Meng, who was used to her good appetite, was shocked.
“Why do you look like someone who has been starving for days?” Had she not eaten for the past few days?
“Ha…” Mu Huan only sneered and did not say anything else.
Li Meng: “…”
What’s wrong with her? She only became even colder after resting…
Just as she was about to say something…
She heard the host’s voice coming from the big television in the canteen.
