Seeing that Chu Bai had left, Xu Muyan breathed a sigh of relief.
She then looked at Wang Haoran with a smile.
“What is it that you wanted to tell me?”
Xu Muyan’s favorability towards Wang Haoran was 20, which meant that their relationship was very friendly. Because of this, she didn’t mind if Wang Haoran was the one who asked about his doubts.
“Actually, I am not here to clear my doubts.” Wang Haoran replied with a smile.
“Huh?…” Xu Muyan was confused.
“You’re not the only top student in our class. Why do you think Chu Bai always comes to you to ask his questions?” Wang Haoran asked.
“Umm… how would I know?” Xu Muyan shook her head. Though she already had a good idea, she was too embarrassed to say it.
Wang Haoran spoke bluntly.
“Chu Bai is deliberately trying to get close to you. He didn’t really want to clear his doubts.
You shouldn’t be so kind. You must learn to refuse others. Don’t spend your precious study time helping others as if you owe them.”
Hearing this, Xu Muyan nodded her head in agreement, deeply contemplating his words.
If Chu Bai came to her in the name of clearing his doubts again, unless she was idle, she would definitely refuse.
“You came here just to tell me this?” Xu Muayn was staring straight at Wang Haoran’s gaze, trying to figure something out.
Does he care about me?
“What do I look like to you? I often come to discuss studies with you, but do you really think I have ulterior motives?
I’m the most handsome boy in the school, okay? Many girls have written me love letters. Do you think I’d fall in love with you just because you’re beautiful?
I’ve already made it clear to you. Rabbits don’t eat grass close to their home. Do you want me to repeat it?” Wang Haoran delivered Xu Muyan a harsh blow.
He didn’t have ulterior motives for Xu Muya, but that wasn’t something he could admit to her.
If he did, whenever he tried contacting her, she would ignore him and keep her distance.
To put it simply, he could flirt with her, but he couldn’t let her know that he was flirting with her!
“When someone hurts you like this, you really… Forget it, I’m done with homework. I’ll just ignore you!”
Xu Muyan turned her head, not wanting Wang Haoran to see her blushing so hard.
[Ding! Xu Muyan, one of the heroines’ favorability for the Host, has increased by +10. The current total favorability is 30. (Very Friendly)]
[Ding! The Host succeeded in influencing the direction of the original plot. Received 200 Villain Points.]
“Did that work too?”
Wang Haoran was startled when he received the system’s message.
What happened just now?
Wasn’t he just teasing her? Not only did he tease her, but he also harshly rebutted her.
How did her favorability towards him increase?
The less I care about her, the more interested she becomes in me.
To put it in other words, this girl seemed to follow the trick ‘in order to capture, one must let loose.’
Wang Haoran instantly felt that he had found a solution to get close to Xu Muyan.
Another part of the classroom.
Chu Bai was watching what Wang Haoran and Xu Muyan were doing.
As many students were busy studying, Chu Bai couldn’t clearly hear what Wang Haoran and Xu Muyan talked about as their voices were very small.
However, Chu Bai could see some of Xu Muyan’s body movements and expressions.
“Xu Muyan seems to be angry. What did that scum Wang say? Did he say something to Xu Muyan?”
Chu Bai squeezed his fists, wanting to beat Wang Haoran to a pulp.
For Chu Bai, it would be as simple as a breeze.
Wang Haoran, coming from a wealthy family, was similar to an empty shell. He who doesn’t even have the strength to catch a chicken could never be a match for him.
However, after thinking to himself, Chu Bai had no choice but to endure it.
Although beating Wang Haoran would be simple for him, the aftermath wasn’t something he could bear.
After all, wealthy people were always arrogant.
“After the college entrance exams, there’ll be two or three months of vacation. When that happens, I’ll go gamble on rocks. I’ll make a lot of money then!”
Chu Bai secretly made up his mind.
Because of what happened, Chu Bai was depressed all afternoon.
It wasn’t until the evening, after having dinner in the cafeteria, did his mood improve a bit.
Back to the classroom.
Chu Bai found a note on his desk with a message written on it.
“Chu Bai, I didn’t actually mean to ignore you. I had no choice as I was forced to be really helpless. I couldn’t bear seeing you depressed all afternoon.
I had previously planned to talk to you after our college entrance exams, but I no longer want to see you depressed all day.
After the evening study session, I’ll be waiting for you in the girls’ dorm to tell you something important.
Remember, don’t let Wang Haoran get hold of this news. “
There was no signature on the note.
However, the handwriting on the note was beautiful, just like a girl’s.
“Xu Muyan must’ve been the one who wrote this to me!” Chu Bai quickly surmised.
With the familiar handwriting and words on the note, there could be no one other than Xu Muyan.
He was instantly ecstatic, and his thoughts began to drift.
What does Xu Muyan plan to tell me? She wants to meet me alone and not say anything to Wang Haoran?
Could it be that she actually fell in love with me?
The reason why she usually ignores me and deliberately tries to get closer to Wang Haoran was that she was afraid Wang Haoran would trouble me?
Yes, that must be it!
If not, why would Xu Muyan’s attitude towards me suddenly change after knowing that Fan Jian and the others blocked me after school?
Chu Bai was very excited, but he quickly suppressed it, pretending to be a normal person.
He tore the piece of paper, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.
Because he assumed that the note was written by Xu Muyan, Chu Bai savored the flavor as he swallowed it.
He didn’t forget that Xu Muyan instructed him not to reveal it to others, so he had to ‘destroy the evidence.’
Many students in this class were close to Wang Haoran.
If they somehow found a clue and informed Wang Haoran, it would be terrible.
He was secretly excited for a bit, but he figured something was wrong after he recovered his calmness.
Xu Muyan was a full-time student, not a boarding student, so why did she say to meet in the girls’ dorm?
After all, their school was so spacious with many places to meet.
Chu Bai wanted to ask Xu Muyan to confirm whether she had written the note or not.
However, since Xu Muayn doesn’t bring her phone to school, he couldn’t send her a message.
As for confirming it in person, it wasn’t feasible since Wang Haoran had many watchdogs in the class.
During the evening study session, Chu Bai felt irritated but did nothing. He kept peeking at the time on his phone, slowly counting the remaining seconds.
There was also another student in the classroom who was paying attention to get out after the class.
Waiting for the end of the self-study to rush out of the class.
Another part of the classroom.
“Ah…” Wen Jing clutched her abdomen, her face in pain.
“Jing Jing, What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Xu Muyan asked in concern.
“Um… It feels so uncomfortable.”
“Then I’ll go to the infirmary with you.”
“No, It only feels uncomfortable. It isn’t that serious.”
“Then I’ll go ask Teacher Song for a leave of absence for you. Should I let your family take you home?”
“Don’t do that. It would be quite embarrassing. Let’s just go to the girls’ dorm. I think I’ll be fine after resting for a bit.”
“Alright. I’ll help you ask the boarding girl in our class to get the key.”
“Let’s ask Zhang Li. She’s easy to talk to. Don’t let others find out about it, it’d be too embarrassing for me.”
“I know.”
After whispering, Xu Muyan left her seat and quietly went to the girl named Zhang Li.
Xu Muyan whispered a few words to Zhang Li, then Zhang Li took out a key from her uniform and handed it over to her.
