When Ye Fan hung up the phone, he heard his dad say this.
Thankfully, the call had already been disconnected.
If his dad knew it was him, well, it didnât seem like a big deal.
Why did he need to sneak around?
It was only then that Ye Fan realized.
The more he and his mom sneaked around, wasnât it just making his dad more worried and suspicious?
How could he forget about that?
His brain was still not working properly.
Ye Fan thought, when the System updated, would it also patch up his brain?
It certainly felt inadequate.
It wasnât until the afternoon that Ye Fan received a call from Zhao Xiaotian.
He said that after Bai Susu returned to school, many boys were itching to confess their love to her.
Hearing that, Ye Fan felt a bit uncomfortable inside.
When he was at school, he naturally knew about this.
After all, Bai Susu was a school beauty, and the number of boys who liked her could form three circles around the school,
However, of course, not many actually pursued her; after all, many silently admired her, knowing their place if they were to confess.
Ye Fan felt that he should appear at the school gate to pick up Bai Susu once.
This way, it would deal a cruel reality to those who liked Bai Susu.
Only when they knew their goddess had a boyfriend would they give up.
With that thought, Ye Fan became even more determined.
After making sure everything was in order, having the nanny and the robot look after the kids, and asking Zhuge to pay extra attention to the children, he glanced at the time. Seeing it was about right, he started the car and headed to the school.
The distance from the villa to the school was quite far.
He calculated that if he left now, by the time he got to the school, Bai Susu would be just about finished with her classes.
It was perfect timing; he would be able to meet her without missing her!
Ye Fan wore a set of pure black sportswear, donned a pair of sunglasses, and set off for the school.
-At this moment, Bai Susu was still listening to the lecture in class.
But there was a gaze that kept glancing at her from time to time.
Bai Susu didnât notice it; after all, she had missed quite a bit of the course material, so she was listening with extra attention and taking notes very diligently.
As time ticked by, the bell for the end of the class finally rang.
Bai Susu was delayed for a few minutes as she finished preparing her notes and final annotations.
Leaving the classroom, Bai Susu walked out of the school with her canvas bag slung over her shoulder.
Just as she walked down from the teaching building, she was stopped by Zhou Shuxing.
Bai Susu looked at Zhou Shuxing with a puzzled expression, wondering what he was up to.
The people around also looked over but didnât linger.
âZhou Shuxing, whatâs the matter?â Bai Susu asked, frowning.
âItâs nothing much, Iâve just noticed you always go home on time, and I thought, maybe I could take you out for a meal or go for a stroll to relax,â Zhou Shuxing said with a smile, resembling a gentle gentleman. He gazed into Bai Susuâs eyes without hiding the love in his own.
Indeed, he had liked Bai Susu for a long time.
Even during the time Bai Susu took a break from school, he missed her and longed for her return. Now that she was back, he wanted to get closer to her and let her know his feelings.
He didnât want to wait any longer.
If he waited, he might really lose his chance.
He wanted to take this opportunity to invite Bai Susu for a meal, a walk, and then confess his feelings.
âNo need, Iâve got other things to do at home,â Bai Susu said aloofly.
This time, Zhao Xiaotian saw the intense love in his eyes.
Previously, the guy had hidden it so well that she hadnât noticed, but today she clearly and unmistakably saw it.
So, to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, she decided to keep her distance from Zhou Shuxing.
To be honest, Bai Susu was barely more familiar with Zhou Shuxing than a stranger; she only knew he existed and had participated in the school anniversary celebration with her, but that was it.
It was this guy who kept appearing before her, always bringing up their past shared experience during the anniversary, which left her with a slight impression.
She was a naturally distant person and didnât like interacting with strangers.
Even among female friends, she had very few close ones, let alone male acquaintancesâthat was even rarer.
So, now that she had seen through him, she naturally didnât want any further entanglement.
Before, she thought he was just a regular classmate, but now, seeing the affection in his eyes, she began to feel repulsed.
It turned out that he had been getting close to her because he liked her.
Liking someone isnât wrong, but it is wrong to create trouble and confusion for them.
She hated when people approached her with ulterior motives.
Even in matters of affection, it was the same.
You can say you like someone and even confess it, but after being rejected, please donât come bothering her again.
Yet, Zhou Shuxingâs intentions were impure.
Bai Susu saw through it and couldnât help feeling some aversion, growing colder toward Zhou Shuxing.
Zhou Shuxing sensed Bai Susuâs somewhat indifferent tone but didnât take it too seriously, because that was just the kind of person Bai Susu was.
Otherwise, how could she have earned the nickname of a âcold and aloof goddessâ?
What we canât have often stirs us the most.
And that was exactly how Zhou Shuxing felt. He simply liked Bai Susu, liked being close to her, approaching herâeven though he knew she was quite averse to it, he still refused to change his ways and remained self-centered.
As long as he wanted to do something, he would do it, utterly disregarding how others felt or the troubles it might bring. In the end, he was someone who lived with himself at the center of his universe.
âSusu, what could you possibly have to do at home thatâs so important? Letâs go shopping, have a meal, okay? Iâve invited you so many times. Canât you do me this one favor? After all, weâre friends. Canât you spare me some face?â
Zhou Shuxing looked at Bai Susu with a troubled expression on his handsome face.
Isnât that the case? He had asked several times. Why was it so impossible?
What was he lacking? Why couldnât she just give him a chance?
Look around. All these people watching are just waiting to see him embarrass himself!
Why canât Bai Susu just understand him for once?
When Bai Susu heard what Zhou Shuxing had said, she couldnât help but laugh.
She had seen shameless people, but never someone quite as shameless as this.
Listen to him talkâas if she was being delicate and difficult.
Had Bai Susu ever asked anyone to take her out to eat or shop?
No, right?
On what grounds does he say such things, expecting her to be concerned about Zhou Shuxingâs face? Who is she to him, and who is he to her?
Was this moral coercion?
Or some kind of love trap?
Also, since when was âSusuâ a nickname for him to use?
Bai Susu couldnât help but feel disgusted as she looked at Zhou Shuxingâs demeanor.
Ah, what kinds of people exist these days.
âYouâre Zhou Shuxing, right? I think you might be a bit confused here.
First, I never asked you to invite me for meals or shopping; youâre the one who kept inviting me. So, itâs my fault for not going?
Second, whether I have matters to attend to at home is none of your concern. Donât overstep your bounds; you have no right!
Third, I have nothing to do with you; weâre not friends.
Fourth, what does your face have to do with me? Are you trying to morally coerce me or what?
Fifth, there are plenty of people who like me. I canât possibly give everyone a chance, right? This might sound arrogant, but itâs the truth!
These words might sound harsh, but this is the reality. Whether you like to hear it or not, Iâm only going to say this once. Remember it.
And the sixth and most important point, Iâm not close with you, so donât call me with such intimacy. âSusuâ is not for you to use!â
With that, Bai Susuâs face turned ice cold.
This guy really made her feel helpless.
Actually, she didnât want to say these things, but since Zhou Shuxing was blinded to reality, she might as well be the one to enlighten him.
âWell said!â
âHeâs just some talented guy, but thatâs about itâdoesnât have a shred of gentlemanliness.â
âI support you, goddess!â
âThis eloquence is amazing!â
âTo turn an invitation into a forced obligation, how shameless can you be? People like you donât deserve to like our goddess!â
âExactly. Iâve always disliked him. Taking advantage of Ye Fanâs absence from school, just because heâs good at studying and looks handsome, he went too far, riding on the tigerâs back.â
âWell done, goddess. You should tell him off, let him understand clearly. Nobody is desperate for his invites to meals or outings. As for face, who cares about that when courting a girl, especially when it comes to our goddess? Thereâs no place for face in that equation.â
The crowd around them started speaking out one after another.
Bai Susu listened to the words of the people around her but didnât say anything.
Applauses suddenly erupted.
Ye Fan, dressed in a black tracksuit with oversized sunglasses covering most of his face and striding forward with his long legs, arrived in front of Bai Susu.
Well, well.
His own woman was truly formidable!
Even he was impressed with her way with words! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat a six-point manifesto. Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of escorting you home?â Ye Fan said with a slight smile, his fair complexion somewhat dazzling.
âSure, letâs go,â Bai Susu smiled and took the lead in walking out.
She hadnât expected Ye Fan to show up.
And he had overheard her speaking her mind. He wouldnât think she was too fierce or unsympathetic, would he?
Bai Susuâs facade remained calm, but inside, she was a bit worried.
She worried that her actions just now might have caused Ye Fan to misunderstand her, or even dislike what she did.
Ye Fan cast a playful look at Zhou Shuxing, then brushed past him.
At that moment, the crowd was already in shock.
Who was that just now?
Their goddess had actually agreed!
It was truly shocking!
But that silhouette seemed familiar, and so did the lower half of that face.. Itâs just that no one could recall who it was at the moment!
