Chapter 284 : A Rose Wedding 10 (2/2)

“What is it?” Sikong Sa asked out of concern when she suddenly stopped talking. His gaze followed Ai Wei’s and saw the girl wearing a black dress standing in front of the flowerbed, looking at them with a smile on her face.

‘Mi Nai.’

Sikong Sa pulled Ai Wei into his arms. “It’s okay. She won’t dare to make a move.”

‘We’re in the academy; she wouldn’t be that bold.’

Time seem to have stilled as the three fell into a stalemate. It only broke when Shi Sheng made a slicing gesture across her neck towards Ai Wei, who was terrified into trembling and leaning further into Sikong Sa’s arms.

Shi Sheng looked behind them and saw Zuo Lie standing not too far off watching them.

And since she just so happened to be hidden behind a bulletin board where Zuo Lie couldn’t see her, he could only see Ai Wei and Sikong Sa embracing each other.

‘Waiting for the fight between the ML and supporting ML to start…’

……

Shi Sheng saw Xi Yin the next morning.

He was sitting in the corner, right next to the window at the back of the classroom. He supported his head with one hand, as he watched the swaying leaves outside.

The girls, who had arrived early, were currently huddled together and talking about him in low whispers. Some of the bolder ones even walked up to him and tried to start a conversation, but he acted like he couldn’t hear them; he didn’t even shift his posture.

“Uh, hi! What’s your name?”

Xi Yin ignored the girl. However, she didn’t give up. “We’ll be classmates from now on. My name is Zhao Ya, I’m the class monitor. If there’s anything, you can come look for me.”

Xi Yin continued ignoring her.

The girl bit her lip, a bit unwilling to accept this as she returned to her friends.

“So? How’d it go?”

Zhao Ya shook her head, leading to the other girls’ expressions turning crestfallen.

“Hey, hey, go check it out! Mi Nai just went over!”

“Heavens! Even Mi Nai’s succumbed to his charms! Aaaah! The new hubby is so handsome!”

“Mi Nai always act so lofty, yet the other boys chase after her so much. This time, she’s totally gonna get face-slapped!”

The other girls were rather envious and jealous. They’d heard that Mi Nai’s background was very good.

People who were both pretty and came from good families—even if their characters were a bit aloof—would always have suitors.

Shi Sheng pulled out the chair in front of Xi Yin and sat down. “What a coincidence, handsome. We’re in the same class.”

Xi Yin turned his head to cast a sideway glance at her. ‘It’s not a coincidence; I picked this class.’

He really wanted to speak his thoughts aloud. But if he did so, she would probably get bolder.

And so, Xi Yin remained silent, shifting his gaze to continue looking outside.

“What’s so nice about the outside? Is it better looking than I am?” Shi Sheng framed her face with her hands. “Look at me! I promise you’ll never get enough!”

Xi Yin, “…” ‘Wanna throttle her…’

Shi Sheng coaxed him for a long time but didn’t get so much as a peep from Xi Yin, causing her to lose her temper.

‘The moment I(lz) act gentle, this fellow decides to go overboard! A rebellion ah! Just you wait! I’ll(lz) capture you back tonight!’

Shi Sheng shot to her feet, scaring the onlookers who were just looking forward to a show into widening their eyes and holding their breaths.

‘Aloof goddess is going to act up.’

But she didn’t. They watched as their aloof goddess got up and left the classroom in a huff.

‘That’s it? Though, if even the aloof goddess was defeated by our new god, our failed attempts at trying to chat him up don’t seem so bad…’

As expected, once they had this comparison, they felt much better.
