Chapter 549: Emotional conflict

"So that’s what it was," Leng Xuan rubbed his forehead in distress, finding himself in a difficult position. However, no matter what, in the end, it was because of him, so he couldn’t possibly stay out of it. Therefore, he said, "All right, I’ll find a chance to ask her out. Sigh... this is really not going to be easy."

Zhou Jingpeng said, "Difficult as it may be, you have to do it. She is my sister after all, my only kin. Leng Xuan, if you don’t like her, just tell her straight, so she can give up on that idea. I won’t blame you for that. Although I really wish you two could be together, feelings can’t be forced after all."

"Don’t worry," Leng Xuan replied, "I’ll resolve this matter as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, just then Li Mengjie and the young miss passed by Leng Xuan, and Li Mengjie leaned in to ask, "Cold Bodyguard, who were you talking to on the phone so early in the morning? It wasn’t some beauty, was it? Be careful not to make our young miss jealous."

"You’re asking for trouble!" Ling Xuejiu’s face flushed red, and she pinched Li Mengjie hard, "Keep quiet, no one will take you for a mute if you don’t speak."

Leng Xuan forced a smile and said, "Don’t talk nonsense, it was just a friend."

Sitting in his seat, watching the teacher earnestly teaching from the podium, Leng Xuan didn’t catch a single word. His mind was a complete mess, filled with images of Zhou Li’s smiling face. He really didn’t know how to define his feelings for her.

Knowing Zhou Li as he did, if he did as Zhou Jingpeng suggested and made it clear to her that he had no feelings for her, then, he could foresee that she would definitely treat him as a stranger from then on. Moreover, was it really true that he had no thoughts about her? He wasn’t sure. The thought of becoming strangers with Zhou Li in the future brought a subtle, imperceptible bitterness to his heart.

Sigh... No matter what, he had to make things clear, or else the matter would not only trouble him but would also be unfair to Zhou Li.

Having made up his mind, Leng Xuan then sent a text message to Zhou Li.

Meanwhile, in another classroom, Zhou Li was burying her head on the desk, having not slept well the night before, she now lacked any energy, the teacher’s words buzzed around her ears like mosquitoes. Her classmate and close friend Hua Hua, seeing this, couldn’t help but push Zhou Li’s hand and whispered, "What’s wrong, Zhou the beauty, what did you do last night? You look so listless."

"It’s nothing," Zhou Li said, "I just didn’t sleep well, that’s all."

"Really?" The classmate said with an insinuating look, "Is it because you had a hard time playing with your boyfriend last night so you didn’t sleep at all?"

"What are you talking about!" Zhou Li’s face flushed red at the words, and she smacked her friend aside, "It’s not what you’re thinking."

"Seriously, beauty, what about that boyfriend of yours called Leng Xuan? How come you haven’t been seen together recently? Did you have a fight?" The classmate spoke as if she were very experienced, "Ah! Fights and squabbles are quite normal. Men are like children; you need to constantly coddle them. Also, many men are chauvinistic; you can’t be too dominant, sometimes you need to play the little woman and satisfy their vanity. Moreover, sometimes you have to take the initiative. Men can be petty, and after a quarrel, they won’t contact you just to save face. You don’t know how many lovers break up over this, so remember this well, or you’ll regret it later."
