“There’s no one! Hurry up and eat, or I’ll eat all the meat myself.” Mianmian crammed three pieces of meat into her mouth in one go.
“Eat slowly, no one’s snatching it from you.” Yun Buqi, afraid she might choke, quickly unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to her.
Mianmian actually did choke. She immediately took the bottle and drank several large gulps.
Yun Buqi lowered his head and couldn’t help but smile. He actually knew that Jiang Mianmian liked him. Of course, she wouldn't date him. Her intelligence kept her rational, but liking someone didn't necessarily mean dating them. Da Feng Novel Network
Mianmian felt strange about his smile, so she decided to ignore him. After all, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to continue this topic.
After dinner, both of them returned to their respective classrooms.
Most of the classmates were back. Qian Xiaoguo had not returned yet. Someone said they saw Qian Xiaoguo going to the riverbank with a handsome male classmate.
The ambiguous glances and tone were clearly implying that Qian Xiaoguo might be in an early relationship.
“Xiaoguo and that person are just ordinary friends. Don’t overthink it,” Mianmian said coldly.
“Jiang Mianmian, Qian Xiaoguo has already abandoned you, and you’re still defending her. You treat her as a friend, but does she treat you as a friend?” the talking girl questioned with schadenfreude.
“The relationship between Qian Xiaoguo and me is not something you can easily sow discord over. Do you like gossip so much? What’s the difference between you and those gossipy aunties in the neighborhood?” Mianmian truly looked down on such people. They were still children, yet their hearts were so venomous.
“Who are you calling a gossipy auntie! Jiang Mianmian, don’t think you can cover the sky with one hand just because your family is rich and powerful. There are many people in this world you can’t afford to offend.” The girl, angered by Jiang Mianmian’s sarcasm, shouted.
“I don’t intend to offend anyone, on the condition that you don’t provoke me! If you dare to speak of Xiaoguo again, I won’t let you off.” Although Mianmian was usually friendly, she could be a little intimidating when serious. Coupled with her background, the classmates were somewhat afraid of her.
The girl dared not speak further. However, children at this age were very sensitive about their self-esteem. Therefore, her face turned red with anger due to Jiang Mianmian’s ‘humiliation.’ She harbored resentment towards Jiang Mianmian and was determined to find an opportunity for revenge!
Qian Xiaoguo returned just before class. As she sat in her seat, she felt extremely guilty, afraid that Jiang Mianmian would question her. However, Jiang Mianmian asked nothing and only reminded her to take out her books.
Qian Xiaoguo remained uneasy because she was genuinely guilty. She felt that she had indeed fallen for that boy, and he had confessed his feelings to her. He said that she was the first person willing to help him after he transferred, that he found her kind and special, and asked if she was willing to be his girlfriend. They would have a secret relationship, keeping it from everyone and telling no one.
Qian Xiaoguo hadn’t agreed at that moment, but her heart was filled with sweetness because she also liked that boy very much. It wasn’t just because he was tall and handsome, but also because he was truly gentle. The affectionate gaze he gave her made her heart flutter.
Mianmian knew none of this. She only noticed that during class, Qian Xiaoguo was in a daze and occasionally giggled secretly. This was clearly the manifestation of teenage infatuation she had described herself.
Earlier, she had mentioned that some girls in the class were like this, and now it was happening to Qian Xiaoguo.
Mianmian wanted to have a good talk with Qian Xiaoguo, to persuade her not to think about relationships for now and to keep her feelings to herself.
