Chapter 257 - 257 Fulfilling Your Promise
257 Fulfilling Your Promise
Shen Yan sighed deeply and said, “Baby, don’t be sad. Everyone has their own life. Since Xue has already chosen her life path, we can’t say anything more.”
Shen Xi also consoled her parents. After all, they had raised such a daughter. As parents, it was inevitable for them to feel a sense of defeat.
After consoling her parents, Shen Xi got someone to send them home, while she returned to the school’s observation room to look for Guan Lei.
One of the reasons was that Shen Xi’s tone towards Guan Lei seemed to have been a little harsh today because she was looking for someone. The other reason was that she also wanted to see if Guan Lei had already found out who that person was.
When they reached the observation room, Shen Xi pushed the door open and saw Guan Lei sitting quietly by the window. He looked a little depressed.
Shen Xi apologized a little unnaturally, “I’m sorry, Guan Lei. I was a little anxious at the mall today, so I didn’t sound too good.”
Guan Lei sighed, “Do I look like such a petty person? Do you have to apologize like this?”
Guan Lei wished that Shen Xi could be more overbearing and act like his girlfriend, acting unreasonably coquettishly to show that he was different from others.
Shen Xi nodded uneasily, and the atmosphere between the two of them seemed a little awkward.
“By the way, have you found that person?” Shen Xi suddenly asked.
Guan Lei’s already bad mood dropped even more when he heard Shen Xi ask about that person. However, he still did not want Shen Xi to know that the person she had been looking for was Meng Yu.
“Not yet,” Guan Lei lied.
Shen Xi nodded again. Then, she remembered Guan Lei’s treatment today and asked with concern, “Then, was today’s treatment a success? Would you still have nightmares? Does that mean we can move back to our dormitories?”
“Are you trying to draw a line between us?” Guan Lei fixed his gaze on Shen Xi, his eyes filled with sorrow.
Shen Xi quickly denied it. “No, I just feel that if you’ve already recovered, there’s no need for you to continue staying in the observation room. After all, it’s not very convenient. What do you think? ”
“Shen Xi, I only confessed to you, do you really have to push me away? Could it be that you’ve fallen in love with someone else, so you don’t want others to misunderstand?” Guan Lei said, a little angry.
Shen Xi did not expect Guan Lei to drag her into the matter, so she immediately explained, “I didn’t mean it that way. I don’t have anyone I like.”
Guan Lei’s mood improved a little when he saw Shen Xi explaining in a flurry that she did not have anyone she liked.
He leaned forward and said to Shen Xi, “Since you don’t have anyone you like, why don’t you try to like me?”
Shen Xi felt liking someone was not a matter of trying, so she looked at Guan Lei with a troubled expression.
Guan Lei continued to move closer to Shen Xi, forcing her into a corner. He said domineeringly, “You said it before. As long as I can get first place in this exam, you will like me. You can’t go back on your word!”
Shen Xi was just about to say that the results were not out yet when she saw Guan Lei take out his phone and open the results ranking sent by their form teacher.
“You and I are tied for first place! So, Student Shen Xi, please fulfill your promise and like me!” Guan Lei’s eyes lit up as he looked at Shen Xi.
Even though Shen Xi did not really like him now, she did not like anyone else either. So Guan Lei felt that as long as he could appear in front of Shen Xi all the time, she might like him after she got used to his presence.
“I don’t expect you to like me now, but I hope that when you have the slightest desire to fall in love, I will be the first person you think of.” Guan Lei said with a serious expression.
No one had ever confessed to Shen Xi before, and she was at a loss for what to do. She did not know how to answer, so he could only change the topic and ask Guan Lei, “Why do you have your report card so early?”
Guan Lei smiled guiltily. He did not dare to say that he had asked Xue Li to anonymously give all the teachers a lot of money yesterday so that they could work overtime to mark the exam papers.
“Maybe the teachers felt that the first monthly exam was very important, so they wanted to know the students’ real situation. That’s why they worked overtime to mark it!” Guan Lei touched his ear and forced out the reason.
