The next class was physical education. Yi Ran hefted her racquet over her shoulder and smiled at Song Yu Meng: “Come watch me play.”
Song Yu Meng glanced at her. Her heart had already said yes, but she refused to say it aloud. “I’ll consider it.”
Her feigned casualness made Yi Ran believe her.
“What do you have to consider? You don’t like Liu Luo Yang anyway and won’t go to see him play, why can’t you come watch me play instead?” Yi Ran smiled cunningly. “How about I teach you how to play?”
“You dare speak of teaching me?” Song Yu Meng couldn’t help but complain. She hadn’t forgotten the last time Yi Ran said she would teach her, but in the end? She was just showing off her moves.
Yi Ran was about to reply when the person who had challenged Yi Ran to a match showed up, so she had to go.
“Remember to come watch me!”
Yi Ran had changed into exercise clothes and grabbed her racquet before leaving, walking slowly backwards while looking at Song Yu Meng. She was smiling widely, and Song Yu Meng found it very attractive.
At that moment, Song Yu Meng’s breath hitched. She could feel her heart beating as she stared at Yi Ran.
Yi Ran had already disappeared with her badminton partner, but she was still staring into the distance until Su Xiao Xiao came over to call her.
“Xiao-Yu? Xiao-Yu?” Su Xiao Xiao had to gently push her with a hand after receiving no response.
“Ah? What’s wrong?” Song Yu Meng finally came back to reality.
“Why were you staring at the back door? There’s nothing there, right?”
“Um

 Nothing.” Song Yu Meng quickly pulled her to the field and tried to change the topic. “It’s almost time for class, let’s go!”
On the way, she secretly touched her face when Su Xiao Xiao wasn’t paying attention.
It was a bit warm.
After the teacher made the class run two laps around the field, they were free to do their own things. The high schoolers on the field were all soaked with sweat.
At the badminton court, Yi Ran was locked in a match with someone else, the shuttlecock flying back and forth constantly. But she was distracted, her gaze sweeping across the field constantly.
But she didn’t see the person she wanted to see.
Her heart felt empty and disappointed. Her racquet missed as the shuttlecock flew to her half of the field, and it lay on the floor.
This was already the third time she had missed.
She thought Song Yu Meng was not watching her play, but she didn’t know that Song Yu Meng was leaning on the railings at the roof watching her.
She was watching Yi Ran’s every move and gesture carefully.
Su Xiao Xiao was there too, dragged up by Song Yu Meng.
“Xiao-Yu, don’t you usually watch Liu Luo Yang play basketball at the court? Why are you on the rooftop today?” Su Xiao Xiao still thought she was watching Liu Luo Yang.
Yi Ran missed the shuttlecock again, and bent over frustratedly to pick it up. Song Yu Meng smiled shallowly, laughter in her eyes as she said: “I don’t like Liu Luo Yang anymore.”
If she had counted correctly, this was the fifth time Yi Ran had missed. Why was Crazy Yi so lousy today? Who was she looking for? Herself?
“Ah?!” Su Xiao Xiao looked at Song Yu Meng in wide-eyed shock. “No way, Xiao-Yu, you don’t like Liu Luo Yang anymore? Why?”
“I just don’t, I don’t know why either.” She was speaking to Su Xiao Xiao, but her eyes were glued to Yi Ran on the field.
“Then why are you looking at?” Su Xiao Xiao followed the direction of the gaze to the badminton court and she saw a familiar shadow, so she guessed: “You’re watching Yi Ran?”
“!!!” Song Yu Meng’s reaction was big, her heart jumped and her face flushed. “How could that be, who’s watching her! What
 What’s there to watch? She can’t even hit the shuttlecock back, useless!”
Su Xiao Xiao: “Um

 Alright then.”
All the way till the end of class, Song Yu Meng’s eyes never left Yi Ran, and the smile on her lips never vanished either. There were even some soft and sweet smiles that made Su Xiao Xiao suspicious.
She was a bit unclear, so was Song Yu Meng watching Yi Ran or not??? And why did she feel like Xiao-Yu was trying to bluff her?
After class, Song Yu Meng returned to the classroom. Yi Ran saw her and immediately rushed up to ask: “Where did you go during physical education class? Why didn’t I see you?’
Song Yu Meng rolled her eyes and casually found an excuse: “I came back to the classroom, why?” speaking as if it was true.
“You didn’t come to watch me play

” Yi Ran pouted, and Song Yu Meng almost blurted out the truth.
Then suddenly, Yi Ran’s face changed as she shook her head and sighed, pretending as if it was a big loss. “What a pity, you missed a spectacular badminton match.”
“Oh please, spectacular? You couldn’t even hit the shuttlecock back, useless!” Song Yu Meng complained.
She saw Yi Ran raise an eyebrow and rub her chin with a hint of a smile. “Wait, why did you know I couldn’t hit the shuttlecock back? Didn’t you not watch me?”
“I didn’t go to watch, okay!” Song Yu Meng shouted. “I
 I just caught a glimpse when I was walking by.”
She didn’t know that she would stutter and turn red when she got nervous, but Yi Ran knew.
But she didn’t expose the lying Song Yu Meng either, she thought to herself: If she said it was a “glimpse”, it must mean she watched for a long time, right?
Yi Ran didn’t know where she was watching from, but she knew Song Yu Meng definitely watched her play.
She always never said what she really meant, this dummy.



After she returned from dinner, everybody’s eyes were on Song Yu Meng as she stepped in, with a look of wanting to watch a show.
Song Yu Meng froze for a second, then she saw the big words on the blackboard and she understood.
On the blackboard, “Xu Yuan” and “Liu Luo Yang” were written there, with a heart drawn using red chalk.
It was just a prank by someone.
Song Yu Meng suddenly felt uncomfortable, but not because of Liu Luo Yang and Xu Yuan. It was because she disliked these drama-seeking people in class. Liu Luo Yang had nothing to do with her now.
“What are you looking at? Does this even have anything to do with this lady? If you guys try to stir trouble again, I’m going to make trouble for you!” Song Yu Meng stared at them in warning.
They didn’t dare to say anything else, everybody going back to their own work, with a boy going up to wipe the words away. But what they didn’t understand was: Didn’t this cocky girl like Liu Luo Yang? Why didn’t it have anything to do with her?
Yi Ran watched as Song Yu Meng took her seat, and smiled blandly at her. She had watched Song Yu Meng just now, but only out of curiosity to see how she would react to the words on the blackboard. She hadn’t expected it to be with such apathy and disdain.
That tiny bit of worry in her heart finally disappeared. She believed Song Yu Meng had really given up on Liu Luo Yang, and wouldn’t ever like him again in the future.
Her heart was singing in joy and her lips turned up too.
Song Yu Meng saw her smiling and slapped her thigh. “You too, what are you looking at? You’re not allowed to look!”
Even though it sounded like it was a scolding, it was more like Song Yu Meng whining and acting spoiled. She really treated Yi Ran differently compared to the other people.
Yi Ran coaxed: “I won’t look, then you don’t be angry either, okay?”
Song Yu Meng folded her arms and pursed her lips, the image of a haughty lady. “I’m not angry, they’re not worth me being angry. Besides, was this lady’s performance not obvious enough? There are still people thinking I like Liu Luo Yang, they must be blind.”
Yi Ran smiled lightly, she thought this side of Song Yu Meng was really cute, and she thought that Song Yu Meng being irritated by others was cute too.
“Then, Miss Song, explain to them?”
Song Yu Meng rolled her eyes. “Cheh! I’m too lazy to say anything to them, they’re not worthy of it!”
“So it’s like this

” Yi Ran’s lips twitched, thinking: They’re not worthy, then am I worthy?
So this is preferential treatment?



Feelings are a strange and mysterious thing. Ever since the last time Yi Ran had sent He Xiao Meng home at night, she had thoroughly fallen for Yi Ran.
But she wasn’t sure how Yi Ran felt about her. She had seen a method on the Internet——If you wanted to know if the person you like likes you, then wear some revealing clothes in front of them. If their face doesn’t change and they just say you look good, they probably don’t like you. But if they blush and make you put on their clothes, they probably like you.
He Xiao Meng decided to try this out, so she wore a sleeveless floral dress in April.
She walked in front of Yi Ran and nervously asked: “That
 Do you think I look nice in this dress?”
She looked at Yi Ran with anticipation.
Yi Ran looked at her seriously, then nodded. “Mm, it’s quite nice. But it’s only ten degrees out, aren’t you cold wearing this?”
Yi Ran’s answer chilled her heart and she forced a smile. “It’s not cold, I’ll return to my seat first.”
When He Xiao Meng was gone, Song Yu Meng looked at Yi Ran’s thick clothes and asked “attentively”: “Ya, it’s only ten degrees out, aren’t you cold wearing only this?”
She was in her seat earlier and heard their conversation clearly. She didn’t hate He Xiao Meng, she was just feeling sour, even more sour than if she had drunk an entire vat of aged vinegar.
But what made her happy was that Yi Ran didn’t give He Xiao Meng her clothes, but she had given Song Yu Meng her clothes before.
Yi Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Song Yu Meng’s sarcasm, asking carefully: “Are you

 angry?”
“What kind of joke are you cracking, why would I be angry? I’m clearly concerned for you, okay? Do I look like I’m angry?”
Yi Ran: 


Song Yu Meng was indeed smiling, but it was one of those dangerous smiles that wasn’t friendly at all.
Yi Ran complained in her mind: It would be better if you didn’t smile!
The next day, Song Yu Meng pettily wore an even more revealing and sexier outfit, a black silk spaghetti strap dress. The thin black straps went over her shoulders, while the hem went down to cover her butt and just slightly more.
Her exposed skin was white as snow, and the dress wrapped tightly around her body to show her figure off. It was pure sexiness, able to seduce a person’s heart and soul.
It was at most 20 degrees out, and mornings were always colder. She just wore this dress out, and she was trembling the moment the wind blew.
She didn’t bring a jacket because she was certain someone would give her their own clothes later.
If she didn’t, Song Yu Meng would ignore her forever!
It was very early, and Yi Ran was the only one in the classroom. Song Yu Meng strutted in and purposely pushed the door open, resulting in a “bang” when it hit the wall.
Yi Ran turned at the sound, and with just one look, heat rushed into her head and her face immediately turned bright red.
Song Yu Meng’s outfit was not the typical spicy and revealing; Yi Ran had nowhere safe to rest her gaze. She covered her eyes with her hand in fright, her breathing uneven.
Song Yu Meng was elated with Yi Ran’s reaction and how it couldn’t even be hidden. She knew her effect on Crazy Yi was larger than normal, but she didn’t plan to let Yi Ran off so easily.
She purposely squeezed into Yi Ran’s vision and struck a pose, asking in a seductive tone: “Do I look good?”
Yi Ran’s face could not be redder, spreading the fingers of the hand covering her eyes and she turned her head away in avoidance to look elsewhere.
Song Yu Meng smiled and moved to where Yi Ran could see her. “Answer me, do I look good, or not?”
“Good my ass! What kind of stupid clothes are you wearing? Did you come to attend school or to be a model on a catwalk?” Yi Ran hurriedly tugged down on the zipper of her jacket, clearly wanting to give it to her.
Song Yu Meng cheekily took a step back and asked: “What are you doing?”
Yi Ran clutched her jacket, both embarrassed and annoyed. “What do you think! Hurry up and get over here, don’t make me use force on you.”
Flowers were blooming in Song Yu Meng’s heart, and she stood still.
Yi Ran really used force, grabbing Song Yu Meng’s hand and pulling her into her arms. Then Yi Ran used both arms to lock her in place to prevent her from escaping while she pulled on the warm cotton jacket onto Song Yu Meng and pulled the zipper up all the way.
Song Yu Meng stayed obedient and pliant in Yi Ran’s arms, enjoying the feeling. She knew Yi Ran would definitely put her jacket on for her.
Yi Ran said fiercely: “I’m warning you, if you wear this sort of clothes to school in the future, I’m going to report you!”
Song Yu Meng smiled and continued asking: “You still haven’t answered my question. Do I look good or not?”
Yi Ran’s breath caught in her throat and she nodded with a red face. “You look good, really. But you’re not allowed to wear this sort of clothing to school in the future.”
Just because of one sentence from Yi Ran, Song Yu Meng was both ecstatic and shy. She felt like she was tied to a balloon that kept flying up, and when she smiled, there was a smudge of red on her cheeks.
Yi Ran saw it and couldn’t resist smiling too, a soft part of her heart continually falling.
Song Yu Meng lifted her eyes to Yi Ran’s, full of amusement, and asked: “Why did you only give me your jacket? He Xiao Ming was also wearing revealing clothes yesterday.”
Yi Ran coughed twice. “Why are you asking so much, seriously
..”
Song Yu Meng lowered her head and smiled.
So this is preferential treatment?
