Qingteng's Mind - Middle School Era

Chapter 1290 Displeasure

As the March spring breeze swirled and blew against the corridor window glass, Zheng Yifan was being blocked by Chu Jingyan at the back door of Senior 1 () Class.

The girl's carefully styled curly hair hung on her shoulders. In her hand, she held a glass jar filled with yellowed and newly folded stars, each with a date written on it.

The cuffs of her apricot sweater slid down to her elbows, revealing the faded red string around her wrists.

This red string doesn't match the clothes! Zheng Yifan turned his eyes away imperceptibly, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a group of girls gathered three meters outside the corridor, looking at them blatantly.

If it weren’t for the gray school uniforms reminding him, he would have almost mistakenly thought that he was standing in front of the door of Grade 5 () classroom.

"879, every day."

The stars in the glass jar reflected the faint morning light, and a few yellowed paper corners were curled up like faded cicada shells.

She said: "The first one after you left was made from the homework book you tore up."

Could this girl be from the acting department? He didn't know her!

Seeing her approaching, Zheng Yifan stepped back calmly, but his back rested against the cold tile wall: "Student Chu"

He thought that he had made it very clear when they were studying together yesterday evening: he could not remember anything about the past, and now he just wanted to concentrate on preparing for the exam.

He remembered that she seemed to smile and nod and say yes.

Now, what's going on? Is this really a show?

Suddenly, something cool touched his school uniform without a sweater.

Zheng Yifan subconsciously pushed her away, looked down, and saw that she was about to retract her hand. He quickly grasped the glass jar and slightly distanced himself from her.

"Call me Yanyan." She suddenly reached out and pulled his name tag. The moment the metal pin popped off with a "click", a scream was heard.

The smile on Zheng Yifan's face suddenly disappeared. He looked at the girl in front of him indifferently, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Several girls gathered not far away suddenly widened their eyes, and the most piercing laughter at this moment came from Lin Xiaoyao, a bad friend in the class who was watching the fun behind them.

Zheng Yifan heard her smug smile: "This belongs to me, one for another."

One thing for another?

Suddenly, Zheng Yifan suddenly recalled a similar scene. He snatched a book from a girl and said to her self-righteously: This book is mine, I will bring you another one tomorrow.

So, at this moment, this is his karma?

He has always been the one causing trouble for others, but now the roles have changed?!

The glass jar exuded coldness in his palm, making his fingertips slightly chilled.

Are you bullying him because he's new? Zheng Yifan smiled slightly: "Student Chu, you still have to return the brand name to me, after all..."

"Let An Nan take you to the teaching department and see Teacher Chen. It will only take seven days to make up for it."

Chu Jingyan stood on tiptoe and looked at the person in front of her with a smile on her face.

The mint green skirt swept across Zheng Yifan's school uniform trouser legs, creating ripples in the dawn light, like spring water wrinkled by the wind.

Crazy! The cold tiled wall left Zheng Yifan with nowhere to retreat.

A trace of impatience flashed across his gentle face, and he pushed the glass jar into Chu Jingyan's arms: "Whatever you want."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked away.

It's just a brand name, nothing important. As for her glass jar, what does it have to do with him!

She wasn't his rumored girlfriend, so he had no obligation to act with her! He had no interest in doing so.

Rumored girlfriend? An image of a person suddenly appeared in Zheng Yifan's mind. She rolled her eyes at him and turned her head away. Her high ponytail tied with a light blue hairband shone in front of him.

Why did you think of her?

Zheng Yifan shook his head. He was really mad at Chu Jingyan.

The moment he raised his foot, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the stairs. Ke Mengnan was leaning on the railing with one hand in his pocket, a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Are you laughing at him?

Zheng Yifan paused for a moment, then walked into the classroom. "Hahaha, Brother Fan, you are so lucky." Lin Xiaoyao couldn't stop laughing, "It turns out that our aloof school beauty took the initiative to confess her love to us."

Zheng Yifan glanced at him and sat down on the table in front of him: "You like it? Go and enjoy it."

"I can't waste my luck on this," Lin Xiaoyao couldn't stop laughing, "It's all over the school now that the school beauty has fallen in love with someone else. It shows that our brother Fan is so popular that no one dares to compete with him. I won't attract interest in him."

Zheng Yifan curled his lips and smiled: "It smells very strong of acetic acid."

Lin Xiaoyao waved his hands repeatedly: "I have no feelings for my cousin."

"Not your cousin either."

Lin Xiaoyao opened his eyes slightly, then fell silent again. He nodded thoughtfully, "She is definitely not my cousin."

Zheng Yifan shook his head, looked at Ke Mengnan who had just sat down, and knocked on his desk: "Help my brother think of a solution."

Ke Mengnan glanced at Zheng Yifan and lowered his eyes.

"Ahem," Zheng Yifan coughed lightly and immediately changed his words, "After this incident, I will never call myself your brother in front of others."

Ke Mengnan smiled faintly: "It has nothing to do with me. You said I can't interfere."

Zheng Yifan was choked: "Admit your mistake and apologize. Brother, I need your attention and help now."

Only children care about who is the older brother and who is the younger brother. The reason why he mentioned it from time to time was purely to tease this "robot"-like "good boy".

Ke Mengnan curled his lips, said nothing, picked up a physics book from the pile of books and spread it on the table.

Is this not enough? Zheng Yifan looked at the person in front of him.

What was this kid thinking? He suddenly couldn't guess.

Yesterday he thought that "Yan Yan" was showing kindness to him just because of this boy, but it turned out, haha, he was wrong.

This guy actually denied it himself.

He used to be disdainful of making excuses, saying that making excuses would only add to the misunderstanding and make things worse.

So, in the past two years, he never defended himself against the rumors about him and that "Yan Yan"?! To the point that even Xiao Yao misunderstood them as true?

Hiss, as soon as I came back, this guy was eager to distance himself from me. What did he mean? Did he not want to be misunderstood, or did he want to see him make a fool of himself? !

Thinking of this, Zheng Yifan's eyes looked at Ke Mengnan with a little more scrutiny.

Does he value his own opinion that much?

It seems that there is no such thing. Then, what other ideas does he have?

"How about," Lin Xiaoyao looked at the two people, raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly, "add another condition of exchange?"

Zheng Yifan sat down, picked up the phone and leaned against the wall: "What are the conditions?"

Ke Mengnan paused while flipping through the book and looked at Lin Xiaoyao.

Did he agree? Lin Xiaoyao blinked at Ke Mengnan, then looked at Zheng Yifan: "Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with that girl you mentioned yesterday?"

"..." Zheng Yifan wanted to speak but was interrupted by Lin Xiaoyao.

"If you don't want to tell me, forget it," Lin Xiaoyao spread his hands, "Then Xiaonan won't help you solve classmate Yan's problem."

Ke Mengnan was silent.

Was Xiaoyao satisfying her own curiosity, or did she notice something was wrong with him?

Was it that obvious? It seemed not.

While Lin Xiaoyao was talking, he occasionally responded with a few words as usual.
