Chapter 740: Chapter 738 Unrequited Love 10_1

Xu Zeming confirmed once more, "Really?"

"Of course it’s true!" Muxia nodded with certainty, despite feeling a bit uneasy.

Xu Zeming seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Then I can feel a little less guilty. Oh, and these are some snacks I bought for you. Take care of yourself."

As he spoke, he dumped the contents in his hands onto the table beside her hospital bed.

Muxia eyed the snacks eagerly, suppressing the excitement bubbling inside her, and frowned, "Xu, you really shouldn’t have gone to all this trouble!"

Ying ying ying, Xu had actually bought her tasty treats!

So happy!

The kind of happiness that makes you feel like you’re flying!

Seeing her cheerful, Xu Zeming’s mood lifted further and he smiled, "Don’t feel embarrassed. If you really do, you can consider it payment for writing my speech."

"Okay..." Muxia nodded with a blushing face.

At that moment, the bell for class rang, and Muxia urged, "Xu, you should get back to class before you’re late."

"Then I’ll be going first. Remember to rest well!" Xu Zeming spoke as he left.

"I will."

Muxia watched his retreating figure intently until he was completely out of sight, then she withdrew her gaze, her heart beating wildly with excitement.

So happy!

She had just had a lengthy conversation with Xu!

Then, her gaze shifted to the overstuffed snack bag.

Wondering what tasty things Xu had bought.

But no matter what, she liked anything bought by Xu!

Muxia’s eyes danced with joy, and her cheeks reddened even more.

Jiang Qingchen couldn’t help but snicker at the obviously smitten girl before him, "They’re all things you don’t like. What’s there to be happy about?"

Yes, by a strange twist of fate, Xu Zeming had perfectly avoided all the snacks Muxia liked.

Muxia puffed her cheeks, coming up with excuses for him: "Xu and I aren’t that close. Isn’t it normal that he doesn’t know my tastes?"

Girls in love tend to see their crushes through rose-colored glasses!

Jiang Qingchen was so frustrated he felt like coughing up blood, turned his face away, and decided not to engage with her anymore.

This idiot!

Happy over a bunch of snacks she didn’t even like!

Idiot!

Jiang Qingchen, who never swore, couldn’t help but curse her in his mind.

Muxia spent the entire day in the school infirmary.

In two days, it would be time for the student council elections for a new president.

On the day, in the school auditorium, Xu Zeming and others took turns going on stage to give their speeches.

Muxia, along with her deskmate, sneaked into the auditorium to eavesdrop.

Soon it was Xu Zeming’s turn; he stood on the stage and recited from memory the speech Muxia had written for him.

Muxia lifted her head to watch the radiant young man on the stage.

As he pronounced the words she had written in his deep, resonant voice, Muxia couldn’t help feeling a bit of pride, suddenly feeling very close to him.

When the last word was spoken, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and even the school leaders revealed satisfied smiles.

Muxia clapped even harder, wishing she could muster all the strength in her body.

If nothing unexpected happens, then the position of president will belong to Xu Zeming!

By then, she’ll be such a great contributor!

Jiang Qingchen, however, stared at the girl’s red palms and couldn’t help frowning, "Don’t you know how to be a little gentler?"

As if these weren’t her own hands!

Jiang Qingchen really wanted to pry open her head to see what kind of paste was packed inside!

Muxia’s clapping stopped abruptly, and she forced an explanation, "Your friend made such a good speech, it’s very likely he’ll win the election, that’s why I’m so happy!"

"Since he’s my friend, why are you so happy?" Jiang Qingchen asked with interest.

"Isn’t your friend also my friend?" Muxia immediately retorted.

Cold sweat rolled down her forehead, and she couldn’t help but glare at Jiang Qingchen, fearful that he had discovered the little secret in her heart.

But Jiang Qingchen’s expression was indifferent, as if he hadn’t noticed.

Muxia breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, she heard him ask, "If I also run for student council president, Muxia, would you help me write a speech, too?"

He had to admit, his jealousy was flaring up again!

"As long as you ask, I’ll definitely write it!" Muxia nodded without even thinking.

In Muxia’s heart, he was like an older brother to her. She would help outsiders, so naturally, she would help her ’brother’ too.

However...

"You’re so articulate, there’s no need for me to show off in front of you!" Muxia blinked, saying with a clear understanding of herself.

Even though Jiang Qingchen was a science student, his skills in literature and writing were also quite gifted. She had read articles he wrote; they were masterfully done with clever constructs. If he was willing to enter a composition competition, he could easily clinch a national first place.

It’s just that he wasn’t very interested in writing.

Jiang Qingchen laughed at her amusing words, the low chuckle rising from his throat, and the bitter envy in his heart finally dissipated a lot.

As they were talking, Xu Zeming hurried over, his eyes gleaming with laughter, and his brow exuded an air of confidence.

"Muxia!" he called out.

His warm voice, like raindrops falling into a jade plate, touched the heart.

Muxia’s already rosy cheeks turned even redder when she saw him.

"Xu," she called out softly.

Jiang Qingchen, watching the girl’s timid rabbit-like appearance, kicked a pebble away in annoyance.

So gentle to other guys!

It’s killing me!

Seeing his cheerful appearance, Muxia immediately guessed, "Senior, did you win the election?"

"Yes!" Xu Zeming eagerly nodded, the triumphant look on his face growing even stronger, and he added, "But I think the reason I was elected has a lot to do with the speech you wrote for me, Muxia. I don’t know how to thank you."

"No need to thank me. And it’s not just because of the speech I wrote that you were elected; it’s more about your good character, which is why everyone was willing to vote for you." Muxia’s face turned red, her cheeks drooping low, "And if we are to speak of thanks, you already bought snacks for me before, so you have thanked me."

"That’s true..." Xu Zeming scratched his head, "By the way, during the National Day holiday, our school is going to have a basketball game against the Second High School. Do you want to come watch?"

Muxia didn’t answer immediately but raised her rosy face, "Are you going to play, Xu?"

If he was playing, then she would definitely go watch.

But if he wasn’t playing, then she probably wouldn’t go.

"I’m playing." Xu Zeming twirled the basketball in his hand, then added, "And Jiang Qingchen is playing, too."

"Then I’ll definitely come and cheer for you!" Muxia agreed instantly, happy as a bunch of bouncing bunnies in her chest.
