Chapter 84 But I think you need to talk to me now.
After packing her things, Yin Mengran quickly slung her bag over her shoulder and headed out the door.
Because she knew that if she didn't hurry, she wouldn't be able to catch up with Zhou Heng.
But as she took a few steps and looked up, she froze in place when she saw Zhou Heng standing in the doorway.
He blinked a few times, his mouth slightly open, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
She hadn't expected that Zhou Heng hadn't left, but was waiting here...was he waiting for her?
"Let's go."
Zhou Heng said softly, then turned and walked out of the classroom.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Yin Mengran realized that Zhou Heng was waiting for her.
She raised an eyebrow slightly, then smiled charmingly and quickly followed.
Reaching Zhou Heng's side, Yin Mengran whispered, "Thank you."
"Thank you for what?"
"Thank you for waiting for me..."
Is this something to be thanked for?
"Yes."
"..."
The two spoke in hushed tones, and Zhou Heng felt a complex mix of emotions, a feeling he had never experienced before.
Even though this wasn't the first time he had walked side-by-side with Yin Mengran, he still felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity.
The two were walking home. The road was dark at night, but fortunately the streetlights were bright, illuminating the way ahead.
Zhou Heng seemed to have completely emptied his mind; he just kept walking, his head completely blank.
Yin Mengran, on the other hand, is thinking about a great many things right now.
Hesitation and inner conflict...
After hearing Tang Zhi's words today, she was still thinking about it when she got back to the classroom.
Since she said she should be able to succeed in confessing her feelings, it means that Zhou Heng doesn't dislike dating her, right?
Furthermore, Zhou Heng helped him out of the predicament. It's important to remember that he wasn't alone; Tang Zhi was also present.
Therefore, even if Zhou Heng hadn't appeared, Tang Zhi could have protected herself and escaped unscathed.
Zhou Heng's appearance, it could be said, filled her with confidence.
Regardless of the outcome, things have already come to this, so why not confess your feelings? What are you waiting for?
Especially after school in the evening, Zhou Heng would deliberately wait for him, which was something that had never happened before!
Now... this should be the best time!
"Zhou Heng..."
Yin Mengran suddenly called out, then took a step forward, turned around, and stood in front of Zhou Heng, staring intently at him.
Zhou Heng also snapped out of his daze, stopped, and looked at Yin Mengran in front of him with a blank expression.
"Uh..."
Yin Mengran took a deep breath, then closed her eyes and exhaled. She looked at Zhou Heng and slowly spoke:
I want to say...I...
"Snapped!"
Just then, a snap of fingers suddenly rang out, interrupting Yin Mengran's words.
Both of them looked toward the source of the sound and discovered that someone had been standing under the streetlight.
They all recognized that person. Zhou Heng frowned immediately and recognized him at a glance. Wasn't that Liao Haomiao, who confessed to Yin Mengran at noon?
What's he trying to do here? Is he planning to confess his feelings to Yin Mengran?
Yin Mengran also took two steps back and hid behind Zhou Heng.
Luckily, Zhou Heng was with her. If she had walked this road alone and seen Liao Haomiao standing there, she would definitely have been scared.
Liao Haomiao walked over slowly, his eyes fixed on Zhou Heng in front of him, without even glancing at Yin Mengran.
"What?"
Zhou Heng asked a question, but his tone was not friendly, and even contained a hint of hostility.
Liao Haomiao stood in front of Zhou Heng and said calmly:
"I'm not trying to cause trouble, I just want to have a chat."
"Talk? With me?"
Zhou Heng pointed to himself and asked in disbelief,
He thought Liao Haomiao had come to see Yin Mengran and wanted to talk to him about something.
Could it be that what happened at noon made him feel like he was a rival in love, which is why he wanted to talk to me?
Yin Mengran looked worried; she felt the other party was just there to cause trouble.
So she reached out and gently tugged at Zhou Heng's sleeve.
Zhou Heng shifted his position, completely shielding Yin Mengran behind him.
Liao Haomiao turned his head slightly, chuckled, and said:
"With your physique, are you afraid of me? How stupid would I have to be to cause trouble? I'm just a bookworm, but I think you need to have a talk with me now."
"What's the meaning..."
Zhou Heng realized something was wrong, and his face immediately darkened.
He looked at Liao Haomiao, whose motives seemed more complex than he had imagined.
She even said she needs to talk to him now? What could she possibly have to talk to him about?
"Do you want to talk or not? It won't do you any harm. It'll just be the two of us, talking alone."
Liao Haomiao took two steps back, adjusted his glasses, and seemed poised to leave immediately after Zhou Heng's refusal.
Although Zhou Heng found it strange, he felt that he didn't mean any harm.
Even if there is malice, is there any need to be afraid?
If he wants to talk, then let him talk. This is a good opportunity to cut off his hopes and prevent him from bothering Yin Mengran again.
"Okay."
Zhou Heng raised his chin and casually agreed.
Then, he looked at Yin Mengran behind him and said softly, "You go home first, I'll be back in a bit."
As he spoke, he handed her the keys.
Yin Mengran took the keys, a worried expression on her face.
"Let's ignore him... let's just leave..."
"It's okay, this will help you formally reject him and stop him from bothering you."
Zhou Heng gently comforted her, then gestured for her to leave first.
Yin Mengran hesitated for a moment, but still listened to Zhou Heng, took the keys, and left, looking back every few steps.
After Yin Mengran left, Zhou Heng walked over and looked at Liao Haomiao, asking:
"Speak, what do you want to talk about?"
Liao Haomiao glanced behind him in the direction Yin Mengran had left, and slowly said:
"Just now, Yin Mengran was trying to confess her feelings to you. I sensed it, and I deliberately interrupted her at that moment. Are you angry with me?"
"Oh?"
Zhou Heng looked thoughtful, and frowned slightly.
Was Yin Mengran about to confess her feelings to me?
He didn't even notice, but this guy did?
Liao Haomiao reached into his pocket, as if to take something out, and continued:
"Because I guessed that you would hesitate and reject Yin Mengran, I stepped forward. I didn't want to see her sad."
As he spoke, Liao Haomiao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, unopened.
After he opened it, he took out one and handed it to Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng waved his hand and said, "I don't smoke."
"I'm sorry, I guessed wrong. I thought you would smoke. I don't smoke, so I bought it especially for you."
Liao Haomiao stuffed the cigarette back into his hand, then tossed it directly into the nearby trash can.
Zhou Heng wasn't interested in that kind of thing at all; he was still thinking about what Liao Haomiao had just said.
I'm wondering how he knew all of this?
He knew that Yin Mengran was about to confess her feelings to him, and even guessed that he would refuse.
