C49 (1/2)

Hearing Chen Ying ask such a question, Xiao Ding was shocked, and thought to herself: Looks like trouble has finally come. I helped Chen Ying out of friendship with a classmate. Honestly speaking, towards the cold and arrogant Chen Ying, Xiao Ding always took a respectful stance that was far away from her, and basically did not have any feelings of admiration.

In the blink of an eye, many thoughts passed through Xiao Ding's mind. In the end, she decided to pretend to be deaf and mute, and ignored Chen Ying's question, only saying: ”Chen Ying, the matter has been resolved, Brother Lang has already become crippled by me, and cannot come to bother you anymore. And Uncle Wang has agreed to protect you, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about, focus on reading.”

Chen Ying's face darkened from happiness to resentment, and his voice turned much higher. She grabbed onto Xiao Ding's hand and shook it a few times: ”Xiao Ding, I'm asking you, are you in love with Ouyang Ying? ”Don't play any tricks on me. Answer me honestly!”

Seeing that he could not avoid it, Xiao Ding laughed and said, ”Of course not, we are high school students, the school clearly forbids us from getting into a relationship. Chen Ying, don't spout rubbish. If the Teacher Gu knows about this and I'm about to be invited to have a chat with him, I would be too troubled with too many things to step foot in this minefield. Besides, my main goal now is to get into an ideal university. ”Alright, it's getting late, I have to go home.”

Xiao Ding spoke even faster. After he finished speaking, he got rid of Chen Ying's hand and quickly escaped.

Chen Ying stomped her feet on the ground behind him and scolded: ”Xiao Ding, you bastard!”

Xiao Ding ran home as if he was running. Chu Sumei and Xiao Zaicheng still did not sleep, seeing Xiao Ding running around with sweat all over his forehead, he grumbled: ”What happened to you, I didn't chase after you, right?”

Xiao Ding laughed out loud: ”Mom, I want to train my body. I don't have time normally, I need to read some books so I want to run down when I'm going home in order to train myself.”

Xiao Ding could not possibly reveal the truth of how he avoided Chen Ying, right? Furthermore, Xiao Ding had a premonition that in the future, he would have to train himself to run even after class.

Early in the morning on the second day, when Xiao Ding came to the classroom, he realized that Chen Ying had already arrived.

Seeing Xiao Ding arrive, Chen Ying picked up his own stool, quietly looked at Xiao Ding, and came to Xiao Ding's side of the seating area. After sitting, he spread out his math book on Xiao Ding's table, pointed at one of the contents, and tilted his head, looking at Xiao Ding, as if asking him to explain the content to him.

Helplessly, Xiao Ding sighed and explained the content to Chen Ying in detail.

After hearing it, Chen Ying did not leave as per usual and sat down next to Xiao Ding and started reading.

Ouyang Ying arrived earlier too, and discovered the warm scene in the classroom. She could not help but laugh, and intentionally stared at Xiao Ding a few times, her eyes flickered with a playful smile.

Xiao Ding felt Ouyang Ying's gaze and turned around with an impatient expression.

After Chen Ying realized this, she raised his head, glared at Xiao Ding, and lowered his head to read her book.

As the morning reading began, the students who came to the classroom began to read aloud the texts that were to be recited in the textbooks. Although Xiao Ding had already memorized the text, in order to forget about Chen Ying, he still took out the language book and read it aloud.

At noon, Xiao Ding was eating at the same table as Ouyang Ying and Liu Shiyue. After finishing his meal and washing the dishes, Xiao Ding called out to his and took the lead to leave.

Xiao Ding did not go to the library. He knew that Chen Ying had already found out about the place, and if he found out that she was not in the classroom, Chen Ying would definitely go there to find him.

Xiao Ding spent half an hour walking around the campus before finally finding a secluded spot behind the boys' dormitory. There was a flat ground four meters wide, and most importantly, there was a densely leaved osmanthus tree. Xiao Ding was especially pleased to find that there was a place in the lush leaves of the osmanthus tree.

Xiao Ding sat cross-legged on the two thick branches of the osmanthus tree and closed his eyes to cultivate with satisfaction.

Sure enough, after the fifth lesson, Chen Ying came to Xiao Ding's side and asked quietly: ”Where did you go at noon? I went to the library. I didn't see you.”

Xiao Ding laughed and did not answer. He did not want to lie to Chen Ying, but neither did he want to answer her.

Helplessly, Chen Ying no longer searched for Xiao Ding in the afternoon and noon, but whenever there was a chance, she would take the opportunity to go to Xiao Ding's side and listen to his explanation of the problems, and then she would sit beside Xiao Ding and quietly read.

Ouyang Ying was already used to this kind of situation and did not mind at all.

It was only because Chen Ying had this kind of initiative that she didn't come and disturb Xiao Ding when he was resting. Therefore, when Xiao Ding ate and took a breather outside, he would normally be with Ouyang Ying. Of course, Liu Shiyue would also often come to accompany them.

However, after looking at it many times, when Chu Xinran was walking on the sports field, she coincidentally bumped into Xiao Ding alone and joked with him: ”Xiao Ding, the cold beauty in class has a unique interest in you. Not bad, what methods did you use to make her treat you so wholeheartedly?”

Xiao Ding glanced at his surroundings, and realized that other than him and Teacher Chu Xinran, there was no one else in the field. In the empty field, as long as he spoke in a slightly softer voice, no one would be able to hear him anywhere else.

Xiao Ding thought, no wonder Teacher Chu Xinran dared to joke with him. Ever since Duan Shiwen had reported that incident, Teacher Chu Xinran had always been paying special attention.

Since the Teacher Chu dared to tease him, Xiao Ding started to be presumptuous, and laughed: ”Teacher Chu, then, who do you have feelings for?”
