I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 286 Do you still want to play the game from last time?

"Ok?"

Yin Mengran heard someone call her name and turned around in surprise, only to see the boy standing behind her...

"Pan Shi?"

Isn't this person some distant relative, my father's son from his ex-wife?

I ran into him the last time I visited Dongzhu University, and I never expected to see him again today. He's like a persistent ghost...

"Oh ho, you're here again? What brings you here? Looking for Shen Linyi?"

Pan Shi slowly approached, his demeanor mirroring the last time he encountered Yin Mengran.

However, Yin Mengran was different this time. She didn't back down, but tilted her head slightly to look at Pan Shi and answered calmly:

"No, I got into Dongzhu University and I'm studying here."

"Oh? Is that so? That's great! We can see each other more often then. What about your boyfriend? Did you dump him?"

Pan Shi's lips curled into a malicious smile as he reached out and propped himself up against the mirror behind Yin Mengran, his manner utterly harassing.

However, Yin Mengran didn't react at all. She just frowned, reached out and pushed Pan Shi away forcefully.

"Stay away."

Yin Mengran's cold voice and demeanor caused Pan Shi to take a few steps back and pause in surprise...

The last time he saw Yin Mengran was probably almost half a year ago. Back then, Yin Mengran was just like he remembered her—very easy to bully, and it seemed like she would cry for a long time if he teased her even a little.

But now... it's like he's become a completely different person...

This state, this aura, is completely different from the Yin Mengran he remembered.

Why is she so calm and has such a strong presence now?

"Ah..."

Pan Shi didn't seem too surprised. He didn't want his imposing presence to be overshadowed by Yin Mengran, so he gave a cold laugh and straightened his posture...

"Alright, you've grown up, your wings have hardened. Let's see if you're really that strong!"

"Clap!"

Just then, two hands suddenly patted Pan Shi's shoulders, startling him so much that he froze on the spot...

He slowly turned his head and looked at the two people standing behind him, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat...

"You...you guys!"

"What happened between us? Have we met before?" Yu Lingxue asked with a very kind smile, but the hand gripping Pan Shi's shoulder tightened slightly...

Bai Cang, standing to the side, smiled veiledly and whispered, "Are you all alone today? Do you still want to play the game from last time?"

"You're insane! Damn it!"

Pan Shi shouted, then immediately shook off their hands and fled from the bathroom without looking back.

Yin Mengran blinked, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong? Why is he so afraid of you? Do you know him?"

Bai Cang waved his hand and said, "I don't know him. Didn't he say he's mentally ill? Let's ignore him."

When the three returned, they found Su Pengyi already lying on the sofa...

Tang Zhi and Zhou Heng, sitting opposite them, crossed their arms and shook their heads helplessly. This was the first time they'd ever met such a stubborn boy.

Even Kong Yue, one of the top idols in high school, wasn't this stubborn.

"Ah!"

Kong Yue, far away, sneezed, wiped his nose, and muttered in confusion, "Got a cold?"

The boy in front shouted, "Hurry up, we're going to be late!"

Kong Yue shrugged and said casually, "So what if I'm late? I'm in college now, what's there to be afraid of?"

...

Bai Cang approached Su Pengyi, frowned as he looked at him sleeping soundly on the sofa.

"I'll help him back first..."

Bai Cang helped Su Pengyi up and prepared to take him back.

Zhou Heng asked, "Aren't you going to have dinner?"

"Oh, I won't go. You guys go ahead and eat. I'll head back now."

Bai Cang smiled and declined.

Only Yu Lingxue and Tang Zhi looked at Bai Cang and Su Pengyi, pursed their lips, and shook their heads...

Thinking to myself, Su Pengyi is probably in trouble... He got drunk and was taken back by Bai Cang...

Or perhaps Bai Cang never intended to go back to the dormitory... so it's uncertain where he'll go...

After seeing Bai Cang and Su Pengyi off, the others also left the bar to prepare for dinner.

Yin Mengran contacted Shen Linyi and asked her to have dinner together, then suddenly realized... she didn't seem to have Jing Yu's contact information...

Yin Mengran said to Shen Linyi on the phone:

"Sister... could you please go to Tang Zhi's dorm and ask Jing Yu to come down for dinner? We don't have her contact information."

"【Um...okay...alright.】"

Shen Linyi quietly agreed, but to be honest, it felt like an exam to her...

In an instant, numerous possible scenarios flashed through her mind, and she rehearsed them countless times in her head.

After hanging up the phone, she left her dorm room, intending to go downstairs to find Jing Yu...

A moment later, she stood at the door of the dormitory, taking deep breaths and repeatedly thinking about what she should say.

"Knock Knock-"

Shen Linyi knocked on the door, only to hear footsteps inside.

Then, the dormitory door slowly opened, and Jingyu peeked out. The moment she saw Shen Linyi...

She swore it was the first time in her life she had ever seen such a cold face!

That face seemed to have a repulsive halo, repelling everyone who approached it!

"Oh..."

Jing Yu was startled and immediately took a step back. The door opened, and Shen Linyi stood in the doorway.

Her posture and figure are superb; if she covered her head, she would truly be a perfect senior...

"You...you...is there something you need? May I ask...?"

Jing Yu spoke slowly, asking in a low voice.

Shen Linyi's soft voice drifted out: "Ranran... I'm inviting you to... have dinner together."

"Ah...what? Oh, okay...I understand, okay, alright..."

Jing Yu didn't hear clearly at first and didn't react, but after a while she realized what Shen Linyi had said.

She was somewhat surprised, not expecting Yin Mengran to remember inviting her to dinner. She had initially thought it was just a polite gesture...

Jingyu put on a hat and a mask, her standard attire for going out.

She's just started school, and the students aren't used to it yet, so there's still some restlessness.

After a while, once the students get used to her presence, she won't need to be so cautious anymore.

The two of them left the dormitory together, which also attracted a lot of attention...

They were used to Shen Linyi's cold face; if they were to accidentally get glared at by her, they'd be scared half to death.

Now, there's another girl, all bundled up, next to Shen Linyi—it's a truly bizarre sight in the girls' dormitory...

"Um...excuse me, what's your name?"
