Regardless of how badly the news regarding Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen spread, Wen Xinya only treated it as entertainment. Since Teacher Zhou helped to raise her profile at the thank-you banquet, she became the hot shining star in the circle. Whenever whoever in the circle held a banquet, they would invite her individually. Thus, recently she had been busy attending all sorts of events in the circle. Gradually, she truly started to show her face in the circle and slowly gained reputation—this was a good thing for her.
After lunch, Wen Xinya came to the flowerbed by the crepe-myrtle flowers trail, settled down on the lawn, and started flipping through the notes given to her by Zhong Rufeng. His notes were concise and easy to understand, with corresponding comments on a few tougher topics. The comments were freshly written—seemed like they had been tidied up only recently.
Wen Xinya’s secondary school foundation was not strong at all. Now that she had the help of Zhong Rufeng’s notes, she felt that she was improving at a tremendous speed.
Wen Xinya was just thinking about a math question before being suddenly interrupted by the sound of people talking. Looking over with a slight frown, she saw Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya walking along the crepe myrtle flowers trail together.
Xia Ruya tilted her head to look at Chu Jingnan and talk to him from time to time, her expression soft with a tinge of seductiveness. And Chu Jingnan leaned towards her to listen with a focused expression, with a graceful and gentle aura all over him, emitting a charm that only belonged to mature men.
At this point, a gentle breeze blew over, twirling the petals of the crepe myrtle flowers on both sides of the trail into the air. The colorful floating petals, as if sprinkled by a fairy, were gorgeous and pretty, and made that couple appear even more compatible, just like Romeo and Juliet.
Wen Xinya curled up her lips—indeed, a jerk and a slut were the most compatible.
“Big Brother Chu, the school’s anniversary celebrations is in just three days…” Xia Ruya was talking to Chu Jingnan when she suddenly turned her head to look at him. He seemed slightly out of sorts and was obviously not listening to her. Curious, she looked in the direction of his gaze and saw Wen Xinya sitting on the lawn and reading a notebook.
The crepe myrtle flower season was about to be over and flowers in full bloom were being shredded. The floating flower petals landed all over her hair and body—that brilliantly gorgeous colors and exquisitely dainty shapes made her appear even more graceful and beautiful—indeed peerlessly gorgeous.
Once again, she recalled Wen Xinya’s humiliation towards her at the vegetarian banquet previously. Jealousy and hatred instantly expanded like a spider’s cobwebs, wrapping around her entire heart.
“Big Brother Chu, Big Brother Chu…” Xia Ruya was in the student union with Chu Jingnan and naturally interacted with him more. Additionally, the school’s anniversary celebrations fell in September and the Institute handed it to the student union to organize. She was responsible for arranging the programs for the entire freshman level and hence interacted more frequently with Chu Jingnan. However, she had never seen him behaving inappropriately like this.
Chu Jingnan suddenly came out his daze, looked at Xia Ruya subconsciously, and asked, “What’s the matter? What did you say just now—I didn’t hear clearly. My apologies!”
“I just wanted to ask you about my suggestion earlier—not sure what you think?” Xia Ruya’s gaze looked towards Wen Xinya sinisterly. No wonder all this time, she had expressed her feelings towards Chu Jingnan, but he had always maintained his indifference and distance towards her and was not touched by her looks and pure, kind heart. So it was Wen Xinya this b*tch who had actually beat her to it.
Chu Jingnan frowned slightly as his gaze, once again, passed through the daintily extending branches and crepe myrtle flowers, as well as the sparse gaps between the gorgeous and radiant flowers, and looked towards the person by the flowerbed. “Your suggestion is not bad, but…”
“Ah!” Xia Ruya suddenly exclaimed, her beautiful skirt drawing a beautiful curve in the air before her frail body bent towards a side. That gorgeous posture swayed unsteadily like an extending crepe myrtle flowers branch—weak, frail, yet full of enchantment.
“Careful!” Chu Jingnan almost instinctively stretched out his arm, blocked her slender waist, and helped her up.
Xia Ruya’s body staggered and landed in his arms as her pale tiny face stuck snuggly onto Chu Jingnan’s firm chest, holding tightly onto Chu Jingnan’s clothes on his chest, not letting go no matter what.
