Chapter 48 (1/2)

Afterwards, Lin Xinyan and Nie Fan remained silent even after reaching school, and entered the classroom together after she parked her car.

That was when Nie Fan found Xu Hong’s gaze when he looked at the rear of the classroom.

He actually came back!

There was a poisonous look in Xu Hong’s eyes when he saw Nie Fan. It was Nie Fan who utterly humiliated him, and he could feel that his classmates’ stares had a hint of mockery even as he entered the classroom, and he could feel that their hushed whispers were all about him. He couldn’t raise his head thanks to all of that, and he blamed everything on Nie Fan.

Xu Hong clenched his fists—he would definitely get his payback. As he glanced at Lin Xinyan who was some distance away, he thought that it was obvious that he came from a good family and was handsome, given how countless girls admired him. Still, he ignored all her courters which had no lack of good-looking ones amongst them and was only ever loyal towards Lin Xinyan, so why would she give him the cold shoulder? He was satisfied at first since Lin Xinyan was cold towards every boy in the classroom anyway, but Nie Fan’s appearance left him threatened.

They are actually living together too, so there’s no way there isn’t anything between them! He had always believed that he alone could enjoy how wonderful Lin Xinyan was, but could not help feeling hopeless now. When he tried to ask her about it to clear any doubts in the game, he only found that she had left their party.

That certainly left him assuming that Nie Fan had taken her away from him.

Still, little did he know that it was he himself who made Lin Xinyan keep a distance. Xu Hong had constantly targeted Nie Fan and cornered him in every way possible in the basketball game a few days ago, which made Lin Xinyan clearly see his pettiness, as well as his inward darkness despite his outward sunny charm. The further she was from such a person, the better, which was why she determinedly left the party.

Even so, Xu Hong wouldn’t care about any of that. A real man always takes revenge—never had he suffered such grief after being pampered by everyone since a child, and he was never going to take this lying down.

“I’m going to get you!” Xu Hong glared at Nie Fan like a vicious mongrel, while a look of lust flashed in his eyes after he looked at Lin Xinyan’s stunning figure.

“Xu Hong is back. Careful, cousin, he might come looking for trouble.” Xu Xiaoshuang told Nie Fan as she took the seat beside him. She was dressed rather attractively in a mini blouse with puffy sleeves, matched with a short dark-blue skirt. Her onion-white arms and tight, smooth and well-toned feet would leave anyone bleeding through their noses, not to mention that her sitting posture was scintillating, elegant and prim though it may be.

“Ahem. I know.” Nie Fan could not help blushing immediately with those mouth-watering legs dangling in front of him, and awkwardly backed off a little.

“Anyway, how about we go to a movie today, cousin? I’ve already got us tickets.” Xu Xiaoshuang smiled mesmerizingly as she hooked her hands around his right arm.

Nie Fan felt a faint girly sweet scent promptly hitting his face while his arm felt something tender to the touch. Any young and vigorous boy would probably be unable to withstand the seduction thundering through that profound softness underneath those clothes, and he could not help feeling a rush of blood as if he was about to bleed out.

“Well, I would have to ask Xinyan.” Despite his stirred impulses, Nie Fan knew that Lin Xinyan would award him one fatal slapping if he accepted Xu Xiaoshuang’s invitation.

“Get up!” Lin Xinyan almost felt herself bursting when she saw the scene, and quickly pulled Xu Xiaoshuang up from the chair. “Are you going to sell yourself, dressed like such a skank?”

“This isn’t skanky—it’s sexy, get it? I could tell that cousin here likes it. Why not give it a try?” Xu Xiaoshuang replied while shooting Lin Xinyan a charming look containing every form of flirt possible.

Nie Fan glanced at Lin Xinyan then. She certainly could make every living being fall for her if she dressed sexily with that figure of hers, but she always stayed conservative with her clothing while at school that her skirt consistently covered past her knees.

“You…” Unable to come up with a retort against Xu Xiaoshuang, Lin Xinyan caught Nie Fan’s gaze and promptly glared at him. She knew then that the bastard must have some ill intention in his head—not only did he take advantage of her again and again, even getting her to take off her pants for him, he was also fooling around at school. So annoying!

Still, she was a little let down at the thought of wearing sexy clothing to school… but maybe she could do that at home if Nie Fan likes it…
