Weii Yang and Sun Yuze immediately left the playground with lightning-speed, along with their subordinates. Although it was class time, the urgency of the moment allowed no hesitation!
Both Weii Yang and Sun Yuze were very clear that if they managed to pull this off, they would be the heroes, despite the leadership role being nominally held by Zhan Bo. But to be frank, the real mastermind behind the scenes was Ye Xiao!
Watching Weii Yang and Sun Yuze leading their people away, Ye Xiao cracked a slight smile. The plan was nearly certain to succeed, barring any unexpected issues. The prospect of fulfilling the pact he made with Guan Xiaonan made his heart race with excitement!
Just as Ye Xiao was reveling in those delightful thoughts, suddenly someone patted his shoulder!
Turning his head, it was Lan Lan!
"What's up?" Ye Xiao asked, puzzled as he looked at Lan Lan.
Lan Lan glanced at Ling Shuya, who was playing with friends in the distance, then said to Ye Xiao, "What exactly is your relationship with Ling Shuya?"
Ye Xiao was taken aback by Lan Lan's question, then laughed and said, "Haven't I already told you? We are cousins. Why do you ask?"
"I think it's not like that, it seems more like..." Lan Lan paused here, deliberately flashing a sly smile.
Ye Xiao thought to himself that Lan Lan was indeed a cheeky little lass.
"Then what does it seem like?"
"Lovers!" Lan Lan chuckled as she said it!
Ye Xiao immediately replied, "What a joke, if Ling Shuya heard that, she would definitely think it's just me spouting nonsense again!"
"Fine, I won't talk about that anymore, but you have to go out with us tonight!"
Ye Xiao laughed, stepped forward, almost pressing his face against Lan Lan's, his eyes dancing with playful mirth.
"I hope you're not asking me to pretend to be your boyfriend!" Ye Xiao's warm breath brushed against Lan Lan's cheeks, making her, a typically upbeat girl, blush a little.
"Did Ling Shuya tell you something?" Lan Lan's face flushed more, and she felt a bit nervous inside.
When a woman's thoughts are seen through by a man, she tends to become flustered!
Ye Xiao smiled faintly and said, "She didn't tell me anything, but my instincts tell me, you fancy me!"
Ye Xiao's words were very direct, and so direct that Lan Lan was taken aback and found herself speechless.
Ye Xiao looked at Lan Lan, her cheeks red as if she could bleed, thinking that if this girl had developed a bit faster, she would likely be considered a perfect beauty!
"I'd advise you not to blindfold yourself with affection for someone. After all, you have no clue if he has any bad habits. In other words, I can be your real boyfriend right now, but there's no guarantee that I won't mingle with other women. Could you really tolerate that?" Ye Xiao said with a smile!
Lan Lan raised her head to look at Ye Xiao, silent for more than ten seconds, until finally, she suddenly said, "What if I don't mind?"
"What?" Ye Xiao had thought Lan Lan would back off, as he, although fond of beauties, didn't want to tangle with too many women—it wouldn't be good for him. But now Lan Lan claimed she didn't mind; what did this mean? Could Lan Lan really be so open-minded?
Seeing Ye Xiao's normally confident face ripple with doubt, Lan Lan smiled and said, "I might not be able to hold onto you, but I will capture your heart!"
"You are quite confident!" Ye Xiao gave a wry smile.
Lan Lan said, "Can't help it, you're just my type!"
After saying that, Lan Lan walked towards Ling Shuya and the other girls. Ye Xiao watched Lan Lan go, muttering to himself, "Could I really be that charming?"
With nothing better to do, Ye Xiao sat on the parallel bars above the playground, which gave a good view of Zhan Bo sweating buckets on the track. In fact, Ye Xiao's punishment for Zhan Bo was quite lenient. Moreover, Ye Xiao did have to discipline Zhan Bo—as they say, without rules, there can be no squares or circles!
As he watched, Ye Xiao suddenly thought of Song Jiaqian. She had called Ye Xiao the day before, expressing that his concern for her was lacking. Now with time to spare, Ye Xiao pulled out the iPhone 5s given to him by Song Jiaqian, found her among the few contacts he had, and dialed her number!
In a certain nursing station at the city hospital!
Several nurses were inside, chatting and laughing, most of them talking about boyfriends. Only one exceptionally elegant nurse was fiddling with her phone, her brow frequently furrowing, her lips pursed from time to time!
At that moment, the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated. When the nurse saw the name on the display, it was Ye Xiao. Her previously gloomy face immediately brightened with a smile!
The nurse was naturally Song Jiaqian. She was really unhappy with Ye Xiao. She had been severely frightened following him last time and still had nightmares at night. Ye Xiao, for his part, seemed to have completely forgotten about her, not even offering a single word of comfort!
Although Ye Xiao was now calling, and Song Jiaqian's mood was pleasant, she didn't show her joy outright. She pressed the answer button and said gruffly, "What do you want?"
Ye Xiao, hearing the discontent in Song Jiaqian's tone, was puzzled, wondering if he had called at the wrong time. But since the call had been made, he couldn't miss the opportunity to tease Song Jiaqian—it would be a waste of the twenty cents for that minute!
"Second Miss Song, don't you want to hear my voice? I thought you might be missing me!" Ye Xiao chuckled.
Song Jiaqian retorted, "Hmph, who would miss you? You stink, Ye Xiao. What do you want? You wouldn't contact me if it weren't for some reason."
Ye Xiao said, "Now, that's just not true. And how do I stink? Could you actually smell me?"
"You… hmph, when did you become so smooth-talking!"
"I haven't been smooth-talking; I've just been telling some truths. Don't you want to hear these truths? I was actually thinking of inviting you to a meal, but it looks like you don't want to give me the chance. Seems like I can save some money now!"
Song Jiaqian immediately said, "Invite me to a meal, for real? When?"
"Just kidding!" Ye Xiao chuckled with a "hehe."
"Stinky Ye Xiao, how dare you trick me!" Song Jiaqian said, fuming!
Ye Xiao said, "Alright, alright, I'll treat you to a meal!"
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's compromise, Song Jiaqian immediately replied smugly, "That's more like it, at least you know what's good for you!"
Ye Xiao said, "By the way, someone today asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend. I don't know whether I should agree or refuse, it's driving me crazy!"
"Refuse!" Song Jiaqian cut in as soon as Ye Xiao finished speaking.
Hearing her words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile inwardly; his little probe had served its purpose!
However, Ye Xiao feigned confusion and asked, "Why though? Everyone says it's a kind thing to do!"
"What kind thing to do, what if it turns real? You students don't understand what love is; they are just playing around!" Song Jiaqian asserted firmly!
Ye Xiao said, "Actually, if it did turn real, it shouldn't be a problem, right? I don't see myself as charming, maybe this way I might find a lifelong partner. It's really troubling!"
"You're overthinking things. Right now... right now you should focus on your studies, forget about everything else. Thinking too much isn't good for your studies. Listen to me, your sister wouldn't lie to you!"
Ye Xiao said, "I think that's an irresponsible thing to say. If I can't find a girlfriend in the future, you'll probably just laugh at me. Could it be that you would take her place and become my girlfriend? That's just impossible, I'm right, aren't I?"
Song Jiaqian, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, found herself speechless for a moment!
"See, I knew it. I might as well go ahead and pretend, who knows? It might actually turn real!" Ye Xiao spoke with a tone of feigned longing.
"No way!" Song Jiaqian suddenly exclaimed loudly!
Her voice carried a mix of urgency and an undeniable imperative.
Ye Xiao fell silent!
Song Jiaqian also realized her reaction might have been too strong, and quickly tried to clarify, "What I mean is... is…"
"Don't bother explaining!" Ye Xiao, internally laughing, spoke with a deliberately somber tone, "You're blaming me for not caring about you; therefore, you want me to be boyfriendless forever, that must be it!"
"No, it's really not that, because I... I..." Song Jiaqian tried to explain but simply couldn't find the words!
"Would you be willing to be my girlfriend?" Ye Xiao suddenly asked the verbally disordered Song Jiaqian!
Song Jiaqian was utterly stunned by Ye Xiao's question!
"I... I..." Song Jiaqian didn't know how to respond to Ye Xiao at this moment!
Ye Xiao said, "I understand now!"
Song Jiaqian quickly followed up, asking, "What do you understand now?"
Ye Xiao said, "It seems I've been overthinking. Alright, I need to go reply to that person now!"
"Are you really going to pretend?" Song Jiaqian asked tentatively!
"What else?" came Ye Xiao's helpless reply!
After hesitating for a long time, Song Jiaqian finally said, "If I'm willing, would you still pretend?"
"Are you really willing?" Ye Xiao asked, slightly surprised!
Song Jiaqian said very seriously, "I'm willing!"
This was supposed to be a serious moment, but Ye Xiao suddenly burst out laughing!
"Why are you laughing?" Song Jiaqian asked, puzzled!
Ye Xiao said, "I just want to say, getting you to tell the truth really isn't easy!"
Song Jiaqian was quick to catch on to what Ye Xiao meant and immediately became furious, saying, "Ye Xiao, you tricked me!"
"Not at all; everything is true. You were willing, weren't you?" Ye Xiao grinned with a "hehe."
"Hmph, I wouldn't agree to you having a girlfriend for the rest of your life. Goodbye!" Song Jiaqian hung up the phone abruptly, leaving Ye Xiao slightly startled, a smile spreading across his face!
