Chapter 84: Encountering Lady Zhou 2

Seeing Leng Xuan buried in his meal, paying her no mind, Zhou Li felt inexplicably angry, thinking to herself, ’Anyway, I don’t know you. Even if Huang Xiaojun really does come looking for trouble with you, what does it have to do with me? It’s not like it affects me at all!’

"Zhou Li, we’re done eating. Haven’t you finished yet?" Suddenly, a female classmate stood up and said to Zhou Li.

Zhou Li’s face flushed. She had been so preoccupied with thoughts about Leng Xuan that she hadn’t felt like eating. Now, seeing her classmates had already finished, she stood up as well and said, "I’m not feeling very hungry today. I don’t want to eat anymore. Let’s go back to the classroom!" With that, she stood up.

As she was leaving, Zhou Li couldn’t help but look back at Leng Xuan. Just then, Leng Xuan was also looking at her and even smiled slightly. Zhou Li’s face turned even redder, she quickly turned her head away and hastened her pace, but she heard a classmate saying, "Ai, Zhou Li, why are you walking so fast? You just ate, you’re going to get a stomachache..."

Zhou Li’s mind was in chaos. Upon hearing that, she slowed down, bit her lip as if she had made some kind of decision, and then, under the surprised gazes of her classmates, she walked straight up to Leng Xuan and said expressionlessly, "About yesterday, thank you, but you really didn’t need to help me. I don’t want to owe you any favors!"

Leng Xuan was about to speak when Zhou Li added, "Also, yesterday Huang Xiaojun’s lackey was asking me about you. You better be careful." She then turned to leave but suddenly heard Leng Xuan call out ’Wait,’ stopping her in her tracks, though she didn’t turn her head back as she asked, "What is it?"

Leng Xuan smiled faintly, wondering why this girl acted like he owed her money every time she saw him. He wanted to ask why, but when he realized there were countless envious eyes on him from all around, he had no choice but to simply say, "Thank you!"

Zhou Li thought there might be something else. She felt inexplicably nervous, but when she heard Leng Xuan speak, it was just a simple ’thank you,’ and she felt a wave of disappointment. Without saying a word, she walked away, still hearing her classmates in the distance asking, "Zhou Li, who is that guy? He’s quite handsome."

"Right? Is he the new boyfriend you’re dating?"

"What are you all talking about? I don’t know him at all."

"If you don’t know him, why did you go and greet him?"

"Yeah, right, hey, are you two having some kind of argument?"

"You guys... sigh! I’m not going to talk to you anymore..." The school was full of gossip-lovers, and Zhou Li’s classmates were no exception. Worried things would only get worse, she left them with a sentence and quickly walked away.

"..."

It was now naptime, and many boarding students would usually head back to their dorms to sleep. However, children from wealthy families, who lived far away, stayed in their classrooms to rest. Of course, some went straight home or out to have fun, as they didn’t take their studies very seriously. After all, they had no problems getting into university in the future with the help of their family’s connections.

When Leng Xuan returned to the classroom, only a few students were either reading or sleeping with their heads on the desk. Only Ling Xuejiu and Jie Mengjie were watching a movie on a tablet from some luxury brand. When Li Mengjie saw Leng Xuan come in, she glanced at him, but he, having also noticed her, gave no reaction and went straight to his seat to lie down and sleep, which made Li Mengjie very angry.

What’s with his attitude? How dare he ignore me like that?
