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

Chapter 62 If you can't do that, then let her come live at my house.

"Ah... this is, making Tang Zhi register was the punishment I set for her back then. Now, not letting her register seems a bit..."

"Didn't you make this bet with me to win it? Didn't you just want me to sign up? Now that I've agreed to participate, I don't need her anymore."

"Uh...but I think if Tang Zhi were to sign up as well, she would definitely win too, there's no need to stop her..."

Yin Mengran's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

When she looked up at Zhou Heng, she found that he was also staring at her.

So she quickly shook her head and explained, "No... um... forget I said anything, don't be angry..."

Zhou Heng was silent for a moment, then slowly asked:

"Yin Mengran, between me and Tang Zhi, whose side are you on? Whom are you on?"

Upon hearing the question, Yin Mengran was slightly taken aback at first. Then, she lowered her eyelids, her face followed suit, and her ears quietly turned red.

The voice was softer than a mosquito's buzz as it answered:

"you..."

After answering, she quickly looked up and said:

"But I still don't want you to be on opposing sides; I hope you're all on the same side."

"Oh?"

Zhou Heng raised an eyebrow and noticed that her eyes were particularly firm. The way she spoke was completely different from her previous fearful state.

The two fell silent and walked a long way. After a long while, Zhou Heng nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, I understand. I'll do as you say. You can make the arrangements for us."

"Eh? Real or fake?"

Yin Mengran was somewhat incredulous. Just a moment ago, Zhou Heng had been so adamant about not backing down, so why had he suddenly changed his tune?

And they actually let me make the arrangements? We almost came to blows over this before.

"Yeah, really. Since you've said that, why should I keep arguing? Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have argued with Tang Zhi over such a small thing. I was being petty."

"Oh!"

Yin Mengran's mouth formed an "o" shape as she was somewhat surprised. She realized that Zhou Heng was indeed quite different now.

It seems that ever since I slept in his arms last time, he has undergone subtle changes.

Although she didn't know why, she was very happy that Zhou Heng had changed like this.

He seems to have become...more manly...

"Okay! I'll handle Tang Zhi's situation! We'll have a meeting later to discuss how to make the best arrangements for you all!"

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Yes, I will do my best to help you."

After returning home, Zhou Heng couldn't wait to turn on his computer and log into the game.

After a while, Tang Zhi's voice came through the earphones:

"Finally online! Aren't you happy? Finally, we can play the game!"

"Of course, it's a good thing I didn't buy the pass this season, or I would have lost a lot of money."

Where is Yin Mengran?

"She said I finally finished my exams and wanted me to play games while she went to cook."

"[She's so sensible, it breaks my heart. Treat her well. If you can't, then let her come live with me.]"

“She’s my tutor, how could I possibly give her up to you? You don’t need to tell me, I will treat her well.”

The two were chatting in the bedroom, while Yin Mengran stood at the bedroom door.

She wasn't eavesdropping on purpose; she just happened to be passing by and heard Tang Zhi's voice coming from inside, so she stood there and listened for a while...

Hearing this, Yin Mengran pursed her lips slightly, a smile spreading across her face, and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

About half an hour later, Yin Mengran brought the freshly cooked food to the table.

Then she went into the bedroom, peeked out and whispered, "Dinner's ready! Come and eat!"

"Yeah, okay, here I come."

Zhou Heng responded with a comment, then said to Tang Zhi on the other end of the headset, "I'm done playing, I'm logging off, I'm going to eat."

"【OK.】"

After saying that, he shut down the computer and went to the dining table with Yin Mengran to eat.

Zhou Heng has now gotten used to eating Yin Mengran's cooking. He has to admit that Yin Mengran is indeed a good cook, no worse than him.

Just as the two of them picked up their rice bowls and chopsticks to eat,

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door: "Knock knock—"

"Ok?"

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran both paused for a moment, looking at each other blankly.

No one ever comes to this house except for Tang Zhi.

And it was already around 10 p.m., who could be coming at this time?

Yin Mengran couldn't help but feel a little scared. She slowly put down her bowl and chopsticks, barely daring to breathe.

Zhou Heng stood up and said, "I'll go see who it is."

He had nothing to be afraid of. If there were bad people outside, he could handle two or three of them.

So he went to the door, and without even asking who it was, he opened it.

When the door opened, standing in the doorway was a woman.

She looked to be in her forties, and the years had left some marks around her eyes, but she was still dressed beautifully and looked very energetic.

She was carrying many things, but when she saw Zhou Heng, her eyes lit up and she smiled.

"Son! Did you miss me?!"

Zhou Heng's eyelids drooped, and he replied helplessly:

"No, Mom, why did you come all this way? And at this hour? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"I knew you just finished your exams, and I couldn't wait to know your results! I even called Xiaozhi, and she told me you're studying really hard these days!"

As Zhou Heng's mother spoke, she began to walk through the door.

But the next second, Zhou Heng stopped her and said:

"Mom, I just finished my exams, and the results haven't come out yet. I'll tell you when they are, why are you in such a hurry?"

She put down what she was holding, took out a bulging red envelope from her pocket,

Then, seeing Zhou Heng raise his eyebrows, he asked, "I'm in a hurry to give you living expenses, don't you want them?"

"Yes, please come in."

Zhou Heng stepped aside to let his mother in.

Yin Mengran was sitting at the dining table when she saw Zhou Heng's mother appear before her. She immediately stood up, looking very nervous, and prepared to greet her.

But as he was about to speak, he realized that his mother didn't seem to notice his presence...

As soon as she came in, she started taking out the things she had brought one by one and handing them to Zhou Heng behind her.

"These are some treats I brought for you and Xiaozhi. They're not available here. Take them with you when you go to school, and you two can eat them together."

"Mom, who is this...?"

"Oh, right, these are your autumn clothes. I brought them for you too. Wear them when it gets cold so you don't catch a cold, okay?"

"Oh, I see, Mom, she is..."

“Speaking of colds, your dad caught a cold a couple of days ago. There’s a cold medicine that works really well, and I brought you two boxes. Keep them handy and take them whenever you catch a cold.”

"Mom! Listen to me!"

Zhou Heng shouted loudly, stopping his mother from continuing, then pointed to the side.

Zhou Heng's mother paused for a moment, then looked in the direction Zhou Heng was pointing.

I saw Yin Mengran standing there, looking very reserved.

"Auntie... hello..."
