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

Chapter 83 Then why don't you just become her boyfriend?

Everyone was startled by this sudden scene and craned their necks to look in the direction they had left.

Liao Haomiao was the same; gazing at that retreating figure, his heart remained unsettled for a long time. Tang Zhi, on the other hand, smiled, her eyes filled with relief.

"Is that the person Yin Mengran likes?"

Liao Haomiao muttered something softly, but his eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of coldness in his deep gaze.

Everyone present sympathized with Liao Haomiao; this scene had placed him in a very awkward position.

However, Liao Haomiao himself seemed unfazed, appearing completely unaffected as he calmly returned to the classroom, prompting admiration for his strong mental fortitude...

Zhou Heng glanced behind him, and seeing that no one was chasing after him, he let go of his hand.

His slightly agitated heart calmed down, and he realized that he seemed to have done something unexpected...

He didn't know what came over him; he was sitting in the classroom when he remembered Yin Mengran and Tang Zhi leaving, and inexplicably he followed them out.

They hadn't gone far when Liao Haomiao stopped them. After hearing what Liao Haomiao said, he felt a little annoyed.

Without thinking, he took Yin Mengran away.

Yin Mengran whispered behind Zhou Heng:

"Thank you...otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get away..."

A faint smile played on her lips; the thought of Zhou Heng taking her away just moments ago filled her with immense joy.

It felt as if a miniature version of myself was jumping for joy inside me.

Although I don't know Zhou Heng's thoughts, the fact that he did this proves that he still cares about me...

Zhou Heng didn't turn around, and answered softly:

"It's alright... as long as I didn't meddle."

After he said that, something felt vaguely familiar.

Looking back, I think I did say something about bringing Yin Mengran home that I was meddling in other people's business...

However, later events proved that he had made the right decision to meddle in other people's business.

Yin Mengran looked so haggard before, almost radiating sadness, and she had no energy at all.

But now, Yin Mengran seems to have returned to the way she was before the changes occurred.

Zhou Heng felt he had done a pretty good job in helping her recover to this extent.

The classroom became quite lively after class ended in the afternoon. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Yin Mengran was always surrounded by a number of people.

Some boys seemed determined to fool around in front of Yin Mengran, whether they were trying to attract attention or not, no one knew.

Tang Zhi patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder and pointed towards Yin Mengran, saying, "Look."

Zhou Heng looked up and saw a boy giving Yin Mengran something.

Although Yin Mengran quickly refused and tried to return it, the boy left without giving her a chance to refuse.

"Hmm, he's popular, so what?" Zhou Heng nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

“Before, Lu Yunshuo was in front of Yin Mengran. Although he couldn’t win her over, others didn’t dare to pursue her because of him. Now that Lu Yunshuo is gone, those boys who like Yin Mengran can’t sit still anymore. There will be even more people pursuing her.”

Zhou Heng looked up at Tang Zhi with a surprised expression and asked, "And then? You don't mean you want me to take over Lu Yunshuo's position, do you?"

"As it stands now, you are the most suitable."

Zhou Heng shook his head and said:

"Why should I stop someone's suitor? I don't have that right. Lu Yunshuo is hated so much, do you want me to be hated too?"

"Then why don't you just become her boyfriend? Wouldn't that give you that right?"

"..."

Zhou Heng looked at Tang Zhi with a puzzled expression, his brows furrowed in a deep frown.

"No... are you really Tang Zhi? You're not the kind of person who would be interested in this kind of thing, are you? Why have you been talking about this all day?"

Even though he desperately wanted to play dumb and pretend he didn't know, Tang Zhi's intentions were simply too obvious.

They would never normally talk about this kind of topic, but today it seemed like they wouldn't stop until they could put themselves and Yin Mengran together.

Tang Zhi also realized that she had gone too far. She had to be careful about how she phrased such topics in front of Zhou Heng.

If I accidentally upset him, there's nothing I can do about it.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. You know what I mean."

Tang Zhi waved her hand, letting the matter drop and not mentioning it again.

Zhou Heng let out a heavy sigh through his nose, looking quite helpless.

But when he tried to start studying again, his mind was a jumbled mess, and he had absolutely no desire to learn.

"Tsk! I'm going to take a nap."

Zhou Heng threw his pen aside, then lay down on the table, ready to take a long-awaited nap at school.

Shortly after Zhou Heng lay down, Yin Mengran witnessed this scene.

Her eyes widened suddenly, her pupils dilated, and she quickly stood up and walked towards Zhou Heng's seat.

Just as she was about to approach, Tang Zhi suddenly raised her hand and stopped her.

She understood immediately and stood still, somewhat at a loss.

Yin Mengran placed her hand on her forehead, as if checking her temperature.

This is asking Tang Zhi if Zhou Heng is feeling unwell.

Because she hadn't seen Zhou Heng sleeping at school for a long time; whenever she looked at him, he was always studying.

But when she suddenly saw him lie down, Yin Mengran couldn't help but worry. Was Zhou Heng feeling unwell?

Tang Zhi understood what she meant. She shook her head, then raised her chin slightly and closed her eyes briefly.

Yin Mengran breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Zhou Heng had simply been resting.

Her heart had been racing with worry. She was thinking that if Zhou Heng wasn't feeling well, she would take him home as soon as possible.

Yin Mengran steadied her slightly disordered breathing and then walked back.

Tang Zhi's lips curled up slightly as she turned to look at Zhou Heng.

He was lying on his side on the table, his face facing Tang Zhi.

But he didn't close his eyes at all.

He had seen everything Tang Zhi had just done.

Tang Zhi seemed to know about this as well. When she met his gaze, she chuckled softly without saying anything, but their eyes seemed to exchange a lot.

Zhou Heng then closed his eyes and rested for a moment.

When school ends in the evening,

Tang Zhi quickly packed her things, stood up and said:

"I have a guild war tonight, so I'm leaving now. I won't wait for you guys."

"Ah, let's go."

Zhou Heng nodded, watching Tang Zhi leave in a hurry.

He then packed his things and prepared to leave the classroom.

But when he reached the classroom door, he stopped.

He turned to look at Yin Mengran, who was still hurriedly packing her things.

In the past, he would always just go his own way and never wait for Yin Mengran.

Once Yin Mengran has finished getting ready, she will quickly catch up with him.

But today, he stopped at the door and waited quietly there...
