Ye Jian didn’t like the boys who wooed Ye Ying. But when Yang Heng scolded Luo Ran at the basketball court, she wasn’t disgusted. She felt like… the boy in front of him would not be bewitched by Ye Ying’s appearance.
Of course, the biggest reason that she didn’t reject him was that she wanted to watch Luo Ran’s movements.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, “That’s weird. Why are you the one telling me about Luo Ran?”
“It’s not surprising because I understand him. What would you like? Soda? Popsicles?” Yang Heng returned to the grocery store with her and took out ten yuan from his pocket. “I have ten yuan. Soda and popsicles are fine.”
Students were coming in one after another. Two girls even glanced at Yang Heng, looking down shyly while they walked past him. They probably heard what he had said, and scanned Ye Jian from the corner of their eyes before picking up things from the shelves.
Holding on to her bread and milk, she didn’t avoid their gaze and paid for her bill. She then walked over to his side and asked, “What do you want to tell me? Let’s talk while we walk.”
Seeing that, Yang Heng shoved the money in his pocket and drank a mouthful of soda. His words then made Ye Jian frown slightly. “Ye Jian, I saw you at the transportation bureau.”
“Oh I see, no wonder I feel like you know me.” Ye Jian took a bite of her bread and replied, “What do you want to tell me about Luo Ran? Are you going to warn me like what Yao Jing did? That I will be blocked after school?”
Seeing that she was not interested in how he had seen her at the transportation bureau, Yang Heng couldn’t help but look at her. “School has already started for a month. You haven’t heard of Luo Ran?”
“I did. Fighting and causing trouble, knowing gangsters outside. In short, he’s not a good student.” While they were pa.s.sing by a trash can, Ye Jian casually threw her plastic wrap and seemed to laugh, “If you’re telling me about this, then there’s no need for it. Everyone knows about this.”
“If it’s something that everyone knows, I wouldn’t have said that I have something about Luo Ran to tell you.” Yang Heng responded quickly. His straightforwardness did not hide anything from Ye Jian. “Luo Ran got a few students from other schools to block you at the school gates on Friday. Ye Ying was the one that told him you would go out on Friday.”
“You need to be careful. Luo Ran bears grudges. You hit him with a ball in front of so many students. He would not let this go easily.”
Ye Jian stopped in her tracks when she heard this. Standing in the shadows of the tree leaves, there was a hint of interest in her eyes. “Oh, so he was the one that got people to follow me on Friday. Thanks, I’ll remember this.”
If this boy liked Ye Ying, he would not have revealed that Ye Ying was the one that informed Luo Ran, and he would not have reminded her too.
He was a self-contradictory boy. He was not good. He fights, causes trouble, and goes to the internet cafe.
But he was not bad either. He knew that the school was not a place for them to cause trouble.
He was neither good nor bad, and Ye Jian’s impression of him was neither good nor bad too.
“You’re welcome. I think… Luo Ran is the one that cannot afford to provoke you. After all, you could find the suspects in just a few hours in the police station, allowing them to arrest them within 12 hours. My intuition tells me that we should stay away from you, or be at peace with each other.”
Yang Heng was not Luo Ran. He didn’t mix with these gangsters to scatter his money everywhere.
He had his principles and objectives. He didn’t cause unnecessary trouble and didn’t bully his juniors. And he wouldn’t get students from other schools to hit his cla.s.smates.
