Chapter 456: Thick-skinned3

"Okay, let’s all go together. Horror movies aren’t bad; it’s been a while since I watched one." Li Mengjie, seeing Xu Renjie at a loss for words, changed the topic and said with a smiling face, "But Xu Renjie, you only bought two movie tickets, right? There are three of us; we need at least three tickets to make it work!"

Upon Li Mengjie’s agreement and seeing that Ling Xuejiu had no objections, Xu Renjie was overjoyed and said with a fawning smile, "Isn’t it just one more movie ticket? I’ll have Pudgy buy another one."

"Is that really okay?" Li Mengjie deliberately acted troubled as she glanced at Ling Xuejiu before turning to Xu Renjie, lowering her voice, and saying, "Our Xue Jiu is shy; the fewer people know about the movie, the better. You’ll have to buy it yourself; otherwise, if others find out, I’m sure Xue Jiu will not want to go, based on what I know about her."

"Eh?" Xu Renjie’s face paused, then he looked at Li Mengjie with a grateful expression, thinking to himself how lucky he was that Li Mengjie reminded him in time. Otherwise, if Pudgy and Shorty spilled the beans about his plans to ask Ling Xuejiu to the movies, that would’ve been a big loss. So he quickly said, "Okay, then I’ll buy it myself right away."

"Go ahead." Li Mengjie said with a grin.

"Ai!" Xu Renjie didn’t say anything more, turned around, and left the classroom. He then sent a text message to Niu Peng, instructing him and Zhou Qiang to keep quiet about his plans to ask Ling Xuejiu to the movies tonight and went off on his own to buy the movie tickets...

"Xiao Jie, have you lost your mind? Are you really going to watch a movie with Xu Renjie? Hmph, if you want to go, then go, but I certainly won’t!" After Xu Renjie left, Ling Xuejiu couldn’t hold back her irritation.

Li Mengjie chuckled and said, "Xue Jiu, when did I ever say I was going to watch a movie with Xu Renjie?"

Ling Xuejiu frowned slightly; knowing Li Mengjie always had tricks up her sleeve, she began to suspect something and asked, "Then why’d you want him to buy another ticket?"

"Hehe, I do really want to watch a movie!" Li Mengjie stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "But I never said I was going with Xu Renjie. I just said we had three people and needed at least three tickets, and that’s not wrong, right?"

"Huh?" Ling Xuejiu was confused, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said, "You rascal, what on earth are you trying to say?"

"Hehe, you’ll see when Xu Renjie gets back." Li Mengjie said mysteriously.

Ling Xuejiu rolled her eyes in annoyance. At that moment, Li Mengjie suddenly nudged her arm and then looked towards the entrance of the classroom, saying, "Xue Jiu, look quick, the Cold Bodyguard is back."

"Huh?" Ling Xuejiu turned her head to look and indeed saw Leng Xuan walking in, looking somewhat melancholic.

"What’s wrong with the Cold Bodyguard?" Li Mengjie asked cheerfully, "Look at him; he seems quite unhappy, doesn’t he?"

Ling Xuejiu was also a bit curious; as she watched Leng Xuan walk down the aisle and sit at his own desk, he immediately lay down to sleep, and she frowned slightly without saying a word.

Leng Xuan was indeed not in a great mood since Su Yurou would be leaving Baiyun City tomorrow, hence the inevitable touch of sorrow in his heart. Just as he lay down at his desk, intending to take a short nap, his phone vibrated. Reluctantly, he took it out to see that it was a text message from that wily girl, Li Mengjie, which read, "Cold Bodyguard, you went on a date with Su Yurou at noon, didn’t you?"
