Zhou Chen comprehended Xia Wan’s implication and shot her a glare. “What do you mean? Do you think competing with me is a waste of time?”


Xia Wan rolled her eyes. “What else can I do? Are you really that good? Isn’t competing with you a futile effort?”


Zhou Chen seethed with anger, but he managed to suppress it momentarily. He donned a gentle smile and said, “Wanwan, I understand that you’ve always held a special place for me in your heart. Whether it was the man driving the car before or your deliberate indifference in cla.s.s now, it was all just to catch my attention.”


“I admit that you’ve become even more charming lately, and I recognize my past mistakes. I’ve consistently disregarded your feelings.”


“Wanwan, I promise to treat you better from now on. How about we get along well?”


As he spoke, Zhou Chen moved closer, intending to hold Xia Wan’s hand. However, this action startled her, and she quickly stepped back.


Xia Wan regarded Zhou Chen warily. “Maintain your distance from me. I don’t want people to misunderstand and think I’m pursuing you.”


Impatience flashed in Zhou Chen’s eyes, but he continued, “Wanwan, my family’s situation is somewhat complicated. My parents haven’t received their salaries yet, and it costs at least ten yuan to buy snacks for the cla.s.s. I Imow you made a lot of money selling clothes during the break. Can you lend me ten


“Don’t worry; I’ll repay you as soon as my parents receive their salaries.” Xia Wan could sense that Zhou Chen had asked her to meet him to borrow money.


“I don’t have any money, and even if I did, I wouldn’t lend it to you,” she replied firmly.


Zhou Chen was furious. “Don’t push it too far. I’m already humbling myself by asking you. What more do you want?”


Xia Wan was about to respond when she noticed a familiar figure approaching.


Chen MO walked over and pulled Xia Wan into his arms. He warned Zhou Chen,


“If you bother my girlfriend again, I won’t hesitate to involve the police.” Zhou Chen’s eyes widened. “What? Girlfriend? You’re Xia Wan’s boyfriend?”


Chen MO raised an eyebrow. “Yes.”


Xia Wan’s heart raced.


Though she had agreed to Chen Mo’s pursuit, she hadn’t thought of announcing it publicly.


Zhou Chen ground his teeth. “Fine, very well. Xia Wan, just wait!”


With that, Zhou Chen turned and hastily left in embarra.s.sment.


Xia Wan extricated herself from Chen Mot s embrace, her face displaying a hint of unease that she hadn’t realized. “Why are you here? Aren’t you busy? I can handle my own affairs. Zhou Chen isn’t a threat to me.”


Chen MO glanced at his empty arms and felt a twinge of disappointment. He leaned in closer to Xia Wan, speaking with a hint of remorse, “Wanwan, are you upset with me?”


Xia Wan averted her gaze and avoided Chen Mo’s eyes. “No, why would I be upset with you? You didn’t do anything wrong.”


Though she uttered these words, her slightly pursed lips betrayed her inner discontent.


Chen MO pressed his forehead against Xia Wan’s. “Is it because I didn’t see you over the weekend?”


Xia Wan’s face flushed suddenly. Chen MO had hit the mark.


“What nonsense are you talking about? I’m not upset. I had plans this weekend, and I’m not waiting for you to come to me,” she retorted defensively. However, deep down, she couldn’t help but antic.i.p.ate Chen Mo’s visit over the weekend.


“I’m sorry, Wanwan,” Chen MO said in a hushed voice. “I intended to see you over the weekend, but something came up with work. Xu Ye was nearly a.s.saulted, and I had to a.s.sist him.”


Xia Wan immediately looked up, concern evident in her voice. “How is Big Brother Xu? Is he injured? Take me to see him quickly.”


Seeing Xia Wan so worried about Xu Ye, Chen MO felt a twinge of jealousy. “He’s fine, don’t worry. We’ve encountered situations like this before. Not just anyone can harm us.”


As Chen MO spoke, he locked eyes with Xia Wan, a hint of sorrow in his gaze. “Wanwan, why are you so concerned about Xu Ye? You don’t seem to worry about me at all. I could get hurt helping someone.”


Caught in the intensity of Chen MO’s affectionate gaze, Xia Wan found herself unable to meet his eyes.


Xia Chen and Liu Hua, worried about Xia Wan, arrived on the scene just in time to witness this close interaction.


Xia Chen raised his voice, “Chen MO, what are you doing?


Xia Wan and Chen MO were both startled, and they abruptly distanced themselves from each other..
