1067 Perplexed and Smitten 127 (1/2)

Xiao Chenyang answered, \”No, you don't look like her at all. I'll go fix breakfast.\”

Fang Erlan leaned against the headboard and wondered to herself, Do I really not look like her at all?

I can't figure this out. Whatever, I'll stop thinking about it.

During breakfast, she asked, \”When are you planning to come back again after you leave this time? Give me some time to prepare myself mentally.\”

\”What mental preparation do you need?\” he asked, sipping on some milk slowly.

\”I want to know when you're coming back again after leaving today.\”

\”I can't give you an exact date.\”

\”Forget it, then.\”

\”…\”

—

\”Here, Yiheng,\” said Wen Yuechan, handing him a bag of snacks.

\”I'm not having any. You may keep it for yourself.\”

She grabbed some of the snacks and placed it in his hands. \”It's delicious, give it a try.\”

He agreed with a nod, \”Alright.\”

Wen Yuechan scanned her surroundings to make sure that Long Xiaoxi was not around. \”Yiheng, I'd like to apologize to you.\”

\”Apologize to me? Why?\”

\”I was too insensible in the past and made you dislike playing with me. You'll forgive me, won't you?\”

\”Sure!\” he answered with a smile.

\”Yiheng, I really enjoy playing with you,\” she said, staring at him intently.

\”Let's all play together from now on, then,\” Jin Yiheng said straightforwardly. After all, he was still a child.

As soon as he finished speaking, the image of an exasperated Long Xiaoxi popped up in his head. He was well aware that she was at odds with Wen Yuechan.

Wen Yuechan exclaimed, \”That's great!\”

\”But… could you get along properly with Xiaoxi? Don't get angry and bicker with each other anymore. Xiaoxi is younger than you. Do try and give in more to her, even when she's at fault.\”

Wen Yuechan was extremely disgruntled to hear his words. Why must I give in to Long Xiaoxi? She's not that much younger, she thought to herself.

However, she knew not to show her displeasure.

Instead, she said, \”Of course I will. Yiheng, I actually really want to bury the hatchet with Xiaoxi. However, she doesn't seem too keen on playing with me. Do you know of any ways to make her play with me?\”

\”Mm… let's go find her together. I'll tell you what to do.\”

\”Alright.\”

Long Xiaoxi was sitting in the classroom at the moment and waiting for her lesson to begin in ten minutes' time.

She was initially elated to see Jin Yiheng. However, she instantly had a shift in mood and pulled a long face the moment she saw Wen Yuechan behind him.

\”Xiaoxi.\”

\”Yes? What do you want?\” she answered, fiddling with her pencil.

\”Yuechan says that she'd like to play with you and everyone else from now on.\”

Long Xiaoxi flew into a rage upon seeing how happy he seemed. She remarked in disdain, \”I'm not going to play with her. Go play with her by yourself if you want. Don't get me involved.\”

The smile on Jin Yiheng's face vanished and he chided, \”She took the initiative to ask you to play together. Why have you got such an attitude?\”

\”Don't you know that I really detest her? Why do you have to force me to play with her? You're becoming biased toward her again. Just what benefits did she offer you!?!\”

Jin Yiheng did not say anything further and turned around… to leave…

Long Xiaoxi watched as Wen Yuechan left together with Jin Yiheng. She then turned to glare at Ji Gui, who was staring at them. \”I'll gouge your eyes out if you continue staring,\” she warned.

Ji Gui hurriedly looked away while Jin Rongyan said to the teary-eyed Long Xiaoxi, \”Xiaoxi, don't cry.\”

\”Who said I was crying? I won't cry,\” said Long Xiaoxi while wiping her tears away.

\”Xiaoxi, don't cry, I'll take you to buy some tasty food, alright?\”
