1559 Solicitous Jing Hengran Once More
The next day, Chi Shuyan put away her puppet and went to school herself. She relaxed when she saw that her cla.s.smates and teachers hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary.
Of course, the most enthusiastic was her deskmate, Big Fatty, Gong Xinli. She carried her bag over, and as soon as she greeted him, he immediately helped place her bag on the table.
Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to do anything, Big Fatty diligently arranged her books and chattered enthusiastically as he told her what cla.s.ses they had in the morning.
Chi Shuyan: …
!!
Ten minutes after the last cla.s.s in the morning, Big Fatty couldn’t help but ask carefully and happily, “Shuyan, are you finally willing to pay attention to me?” After a pause, he continued cautiously, “Why did you ignore me the past few days? Did I do something wrong?”
In cla.s.s, his deskmate was the only one who treated him better and could be considered his only friend. His deskmate had ignored him for a few days, which had made him very apprehensive.
He had been thinking about what he had done wrong these past few days, but no matter how he racked his brain, he couldn’t think of anything. Yesterday, he had also probed her, but unfortunately, his ‘deskmate’ hadn’t replied and had been very perfunctory and cold toward him.
Chi Shuyan: …
Chi Shuyan choked when she met the pitiful and cautious gaze of her deskmate. It wasn’t good to tell him the truth. Afraid that he would sense that something was wrong, she casually made up an excuse. “I was in a bad mood a few days ago and wasn’t in the mood to talk. I wasn’t angry with you!”
Big Fatty’s eyes widened in delight and disbelief. “Really?”
Chi Shuyan hurriedly nodded. She was afraid that this would happen again in the future, and was also worried that her deskmate would sense something amiss. She continued, “In the future, I’ll be in a bad mood for a few days every month and won’t want to talk. You don’t have to bother with me; it’s not that I’m angry with you. I’ll be fine in a few days!”
Only then did Big Fatty relax. He beamed, but on his fat face, it was a little blinding.
In fact, Chi Shuyan felt that her deskmate’s features were quite exquisite and good-looking, but they were squeezed out of shape by the fat on his face. He had three layers of fat alone under his chin. If one didn’t take a closer look, they wouldn’t be able to see his facial features at all.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but probe, “Do you want to lose weight?”
For one thing, she did feel that her deskmate’s weight made it hard for him to make friends. Secondly, it probably wasn’t good for his health if he continued to gain weight.
Big Fatty, Gong Xinli, immediately flushed red and was very shy and embarra.s.sed. After a while, he said that he had tried losing weight countless times, but it hadn’t worked.
Chi Shuyan sized him up and didn’t say anything else, but she was thinking of a way to help her deskmate lose weight. She had gotten along very well with him so far, and she was very willing to help him.
Not long after, the bell rang. After cla.s.s, her deskmate revealed that it seemed Zhen Yu had taken another half a month off. She was initially supposed to be back for cla.s.s tomorrow or the day after. Counselor Zhang was reluctant about it at first, but when he heard that something had happened to a very close family relative, he agreed.
Chi Shuyan also realized that she hadn’t seen Zhen Yu for a few days. As for Zhen Yu taking more than half a month off, she felt that it was most likely related to something that might have happened to Yang Zhi’s family. In any case, Chi Shuyan had already given the other party pointers; if something really happened, Zhen Yu would naturally contact her, so she wasn’t worried.
After school, she planned to go to Imperial Restaurant to see Chef Li and the two little guys. If she had time in the evening, she would go to Director w.a.n.g’s set to take a look.
As soon as she left school, however, Chi Shuyan saw two familiar cars parked outside. One was Brother Feng’s car, which she hadn’t seen in a long time, and the other was Jing Hengran’s. It was one thing for Brother Feng to look for her without saying anything, but Jing Hengran was also here? And he was here for her?
Her head still hurt when she thought of how the other party had asked before if she was single, and how he suddenly started contacting her so often after that. She was afraid that what he had said before had been the truth.
In fact, Chi Shuyan knew that the other party was being a gentleman – the problem was her. After her last relations.h.i.+p, she indeed didn’t plan to fall in love again, but that didn’t mean she was fixated on only one man.
Chi Shuyan didn’t feel proud of the fact that another man was wooing her. Instead, she found it troublesome. She also didn’t like trouble, and hoped that her att.i.tude would make the other party give up on this idea as soon as possible.
When Chi Shuyan saw him, she still had to step forward and greet him politely. Brother Feng was her friend, so it wouldn’t be a problem to greet him later. So, she walked to Jing Hengran’s car and asked, “Young Master Jing, what’s the matter?”
Jing Hengran hadn’t thought much of it before, but now, he was quite dissatisfied with the way the young lady in front of him addressed him. He said, “Shuyan, I’ll say it again: I thought we were close? I’d be happier if you just used my name!”
Chi Shuyan: …
Feng Yuanlin: …
Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to refuse, Jing Hengran smiled gently and said considerately again, “Okay, if you’re really unwilling, take my words as a joke.”
When the other party said that, Chi Shuyan felt even more embarra.s.sed, and naturally could only use his name – of course, she added his surname to it. Jing Hengran was quite frustrated. He had never thought that it would be so difficult to get a woman to use his name, let alone win her heart.
So, when she called him by his full name, Jing Hengran was quite disappointed. He added teasingly, “I would be happier if my surname was removed.”
“Hehe!” Chi Shuyan smiled awkwardly.
“Shuyan, are you free for lunch?” Just as Jing Hengran asked the question, Feng Yuanlin, who was parked on the side, couldn’t stand the sight of this strange man being so attentive toward Shuyan anymore. Although he couldn’t hear their conversation at all, looking at the man’s bright expression, he was 80 to 90% sure that this man was indeed interested in Shuyan.
In Feng Yuanlin’s heart, Shuyan was Zhenbai’s wife, so how could he tolerate other men having designs on her? He immediately couldn’t help but whistle to interrupt the two of them and draw Shuyan’s attention. Feng Yuanlin even called out, “Shuyan, don’t forget that Brother Feng is here!”
