‘One, two, one, two…’ master said

Zhen Lang watched Gu Jing trained from a distance He saw her flushed face and her short hair fluttered in the wind

Suddenly Gu Jing stood still She looked at her surroundings for Zhen Lang, she didn’t see hiht she sniffed his scent

‘Gu Jing, pay attention,’ master said

Gu Jing doubted she was

Zhen Lang saw Gu Jing’s confused look from under a peach tree and he smiled

Zhen Lang waved the books in his hand ‘Sorry, a teacher is waiting for me You can ask me another day’

Chen Wei sed her words She nodded her head and she watched Zhen Lang walked away from her

Zhen Lang walked to the nurse’s office He sat on a bed, thought about Gu Jing and he smiled

‘Today I heard you’re with the school’s beauty Why didn’t you tell me about her? Scared I’ll steal her away from you?’ Lin Tu Shen said

Zhen Lang laughed ‘I only bumped into her on the way here and said a feords to her Where did you hear this rumour from?’

‘Really?’ Lin Tu Shen asked He laughed skeptically ‘Do you think I care about rumours? If the female lead didn’t admit it then ould I come here and ask you?’

Zhen Lang wrinkled his forehead ‘She said that?’

Lin Tu Shen sat next to Zhen Lang ‘You’re good at keeping secrets If Chen Wei didn’t announce you’re her boyfriend in front of everyone then I wouldn’t know you kept me out of the loop’

Zhen Lang frowned ‘In front of everyone?’

‘Of course…’ Lin Tu Shen said

A gentle wind blew into the rooh an opened door

Chen Wei took a step closer toward Zhen Lang But he silently drank a glass of iced tea like there was nothing to discuss

Chatter and laughter were heard outside the quiet room

‘Don’t you have anything to say?’ Chen Wei asked The silence in the roo?’

Zhen Lang put the glass of iced tea on a table ‘Didn’t you say you’ll explain clearly? What else is there for me to say?’

Zhen Lang’s words shocked Chen Wei and she became speechless

‘Are you saying you coincidently bumped into me today? I stood under that tree for fifteen minutes before you ran toan unwanted pursuer If you want a buffer then I think there are others around you who are willing to be your buffer,’ Zhen Lang said His eyes saw straight through Chen Wei ‘You didn’t need to lie in front of everyone I was your boyfriend’
