âWho do you want to give it to?â
This was the first time Chen Hao had seen Wang Xiaohua like this, so he smiled resignedly.
âHehe, itâs for a girl that I have always liked. Sheâs from the taekwondo club and she entered the school competition thatâs going to be held in a few days. She is training really hard so I wanted to buy something for her!â Wang Xiaohua chuckled.
Seeing him like this, Chen Hao was happy for him. Wang Xiaohua was a cunning person but he was true to his friends.
Therefore, Chen Hao also treated him as a friend.
So, Chen Hao went with him to the taekwondo club.
He saw many people training there.
Wang Xiaohua looked around with the food wrapped in his arms.
Then, his eyes fell on a pretty girl who had her hair up in a ponytail.
âHaha, Qin Nuan, look whoâs here? That fatty has come to give you food!â
As soon as Wang Xiaohua and Chen Hao entered the room, the people who were practicing taekwondo all stopped and pointed at Wang Xiaohua, mocking him.
Chen Hao could tell that only a few people truly treated Wang Xiaohua as a friend in school, and there were even fewer who saw him as their equal.
âYou are so devoted to her! Itâs so rare for a boy to turn up every day and to give you gifts. Qin Nuan, why donât you be his girlfriend? Heâs a good man!â
A few girls came over to tease Qin Nuan.
Qin Nuan was a very beautiful girl.
Listening to everyoneâs mockeries, she looked at the short and chubby Wang Xiaohua.
She was very insulted.
She then stomped over to Wang Xiaohua angrily.
âWang Xiaohua, didnât I tell you not to come again? Why are you here? Donât you feel annoyed? I feel disgusted when I see you!â Qin Nuan ran over and said furiously.
âQin Nuan, I was afraid that you were training too hard, so I bought you something!â
Wang Xiaohua gave the bag of food to Qin Nuan.
Smack!
Qin Nuan slapped it away.
âI donât want it! I donât want any of your stuff. Leave now!â
When Qin Nuan saw that Wang Xiaohua was still standing there, her face became boiling red.
âOoooooh!â
Many people surrounded them and whooped.
âQin Nuan, why are you being like this? You never used to treat me this way!â
Wang Xiaohua looked at the snacks that were scattered all over the floor and said with teary eyes.
âAre you mad? I told you to leave!â
Qin Nuan shoved Wang Xiaohua hard.
He lost his balance and fell headfirst to the ground.
âHaha, heâs sprawling like a turtle!â
âA person like him trying to court Qin Nuan is never going to work. No wonder Qin Nuan likesâ¦â
A girl stopped mid-sentence and didnât continue.
She obediently shut her mouth.
âUrgh, itâs so annoying! I have to deal with this every day!â
She then kicked the snacks again and turned to leave.
âHey, arenât you being too harsh on him?â Chen Hao couldnât help but shout at her.
âDid you know that Wang Xiaohua was thinking of you when he left campus? He was afraid that you were training too hard so he came over to give you some food. Even if you donât like him, you donât have to treat him this way,â Chen Hao said angrily.
âHaha, itâs none of your business. I can treat him however I want to. Who told him to come here? He is trying to embarrass me on purpose! Just leave!â
Qin Nuan looked like she wanted to go over and hit Wang Xiaohua.
Chen Hao stood in front of him and pushed her away.
Qin Nuan was furious.
In a flash, she had raised her leg and kicked Chen Hao on his chest.
Chen Hao didnât expect her to be such a crabby person.
He took the blow and staggered backward, falling onto the ground.
Qin Nuan knew that she was too impetuous.
She also knew Wang Xiaohuaâs feelings for her.
However, she didnât have anymore feelings for him, so what was the point of him courting her?
Also, as a girl, she was vain.
Wang Xiaohua was not exactly fit nor handsome.
If she was treated in the same way by a hot guy, she wouldnât feel any aversion.
But this was Wang Xiaohua, and the mere thought made her feel embarrassed.
Also, this happened in front of all the boys and girls.
The only thing that she wanted to do now was to kick him away.
âChen Hao!â
When Wang Xiaohua saw that Chen Hao had taken a blow for him, he went over hurriedly to pull Chen Hao up.
Chen Hao wanted to continue arguing with Qin Nuan, but Wang Xiaohua saw that a few stout guys were heading over. He was afraid that Chen Hao would be beaten up, so he pulled him away and left.
âChen Hao itâs my fault that you got beaten up, but donât blame Qin Nuan. Itâs all my fault! I embarrassed her and made her feel humiliated in front of the students from the taekwondo club. Itâs my fault!â
Wang Xiaohua and Chen Hao had reached a small park outside campus. Wang Xiaohua sat on the ground and began to cry.
Chen Hao had taken a blow and his chest hurt, but seeing Wang Xiaohua like this, he didnât say anything.
He could see his former self in Wang Xiaohua.
Chen Hao would rather take a beating than let Yang Xia suffer any harm.
Ha!
Chen Hao patted his shoulders. âAlright, donât cry. You told me you guys had a great relationship, but I donât see it!â Chen Hao was confused.
âWe were close before. We grew up together but she changed when she got into university...â
Then, Wang Xiaohua told Chen Hao their story in detail without stopping to take a breath.
When they were children, Wang Xiaohua and Qin Nuan were indeed good friends. In school, whenever someone bullied Qin Nuan, Wang Xiaohua would always stand up for her.
The biggest fight he got into was when they were in fourth grade.
Qin Nuan was blocked by a few senior students.
They were all too young to know anything at that time. A guy would write a love letter to a girl if he thought that she was pretty, then asked her to be his girlfriend.
If they were rich, they would block a girlâs way and demand her to be his girlfriend.
This was more or less what happened.
To protect Qin Nuan, Wang Xiaohua had fought with them.
He was pushed over by someone and the skin on his knee was scraped off, leaving a scar that could still be seen today.
It was similar to how Chen Hao had protected Wang Xue in junior high.
So, Qin Nuan became close friends with Wang Xiaohua.
After graduating from high school, they became a couple.
Subsequently, Wang Xiaohua felt that Qin Nuan had changed.
Wang Xiaohua felt that she was avoiding him.
Then, she told Wang Xiaohua not to be with her if others were around, and to keep their relationship a secret.
Not long ago, Qin Nuan said that they should take a break.
Then, it turned into this.
Wang Xiaohua didnât believe that she had changed in such a short amount of time, so he went to her obstinately every day.
But now, it had progressed to this point.
Chen Hao shook his head after Wang Xiaohua finished his story. He didnât know how to comfort him, because he was exactly the same when he was with Yang Xia.
So he just patted Wang Xiaohuaâs shoulder.
Wang Xiaohua dried his tears and said he felt a lot better after getting it off his chest, and was fine for the moment.
Only then did Chen Hao relax.
The two of them prepared to go back.
Suddenly, Chen Haoâs phone rang. It was from Su Ziyue.
âChen Hao, come back quickly!â
âWhatâs the matter?â
Judging by her tone, Su Ziyue seemed to be panicking...
