Chapter 248: Chapter 248

Their Relationship (2)

She flattened her mouth and looked at Jiang Xiaoman, saying, “Xiaoman, why? We always eat here together, why is it inconvenient now?”

“Because…” After hesitating for a while, Jiang Xiaoman decided not to tell what had happened in the toilet. After all, boys always wanted face, and she wanted to protect Yu Qingshi’s dignity. If this kind of thing was spread, how could Yu Qingshi hold his head high in front of his friends in the future?

Jiang Xiaoman shook her head, “I don’t know, but he’s in a special period right now, that’s just how he is. You should be a bit accommodating. Don’t worry about it, it will be fine after a while.”

Ye Jiajia groaned, “I heard from the physiology teacher that girls will feel depressed and be in a bad mood during special periods. Unexpectedly, boys also have special periods.”

Jiang Xiaoman smiled dryly, “Maybe they also have great uncles1.”

“Oh, that’s probably it.” So Ye Jiajia slumped, and left carrying her food tray.

She and Zhang Xinhua sat together, eating while paying attention to Jiang Xiaoman’s movements.

In fact, there was nothing to see. All the people in the world, men and women, old people and children, eat the same way. There was nothing special.

Yu Qingshi’s dining etiquette was very good. He ate very delicately, gentle and unhurried. It actually looked very pleasing to the eye, very elegant, and looked different from the other boys who wolfed down their food.

Ye Jiajia watched him chewing and chewing. Her eyes shone like torches, staring at him.

When she saw Yu Qingshi giving side dishes to Jiang Xiaoman, she finally couldn’t hold still anymore.

“Humph! I also especially bought two chicken drumsticks and planned to give Xiaoman one! Now I can’t finish it!” Wuu wuu wuu, she wanted to sit with Xiaoman too!

When Zhang Xinhua heard this, his eyes lit up and he silently pushed his food tray.

Xiaoman couldn’t eat it, but he could!

The two also had a tacit understanding.

Ye Jiajia took the initiative and said, “Anyways, I can’t finish it, so I’ll just give it to you.”

“Yeah!” Turns out that Ye Jiajia was also a little angel!

Ye Jiajia put all the sliced carrots and greens on Zhang Xinhua’s plate, and then stopped.

She started to eat a chicken leg in her left hand and a chicken leg in her right hand.

Zhang Xinhua: “…” He misunderstood!

He glanced at his food tray silently and did not say anything. He ate in silence, listening to Ye Jiajia’s nagging.

Ye Jiajia said, “It’s too much, I think Yu Qingshi has a problem!”

Zhang Xinhua asked, “Why? What’s the problem?”

“Don’t you think he’s been unusually close to Xiaoman recently?”

Zhang Xinhua thought for a while, and then honestly said, “They seem to have been very close since kindergarten. Not only are they close, but they also live close to each other.”

“…” Ye Jiajia glared at him, “No wonder people said boys are careless. Can’t you see such an obvious thing?”

“…Huh? What?”

“Before, the four of us usually did everything together. Even not long ago, it was still the four of us doing things together.” Ye Jiajia pondered for a moment, “Then, I don’t know when Xiaoman started being particularly biased towards Yu Qingshi. No matter what she did, she would always bring him, but excluded us.”

Zhang Xinhua suddenly realized, “That seems right!”

“Now they are always a pair, just the two wherever they go. It seems that there is some secret.” Ye Jiajia said, “Don’t you think they are like, they are like… what was that again??”

“What?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“…”

Ye Jiajia rolled her eyes, feeling that she was singing to a deaf person.

He actually didn’t understand anything.

“It’s that, falling in love! Underground romance! Look, do they not look like a young couple now? Let me ask you if they don’t look like one!?”

Ye Jiajia gritted her teeth, her facial expression grim. Zhang Xinhua was really dumbfounded.

After a moment, he nodded vigorously!

Yes! What Ye Jiajia said was right!

After reaching the same understanding, Ye Jiajia got even more excited and continued to analyze and explain the two’s behavior and psychology in simple but profound language.

“But, you can’t date when underage. The teacher already gave stern advice and patrolled all the floors with a big loudspeaker everyday to uphold discipline. If they were discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.”

The young couples in school only dared to hold hands before reaching the school gate. Ten meters before the gate, they would let go and pretend not to know each other.

Yu Qingshi and Jiang Xiaoman were too bold, this was like trying to pull the teeth out from the tiger’s mouth!

Bold, really bold!

Ye Jiajia said, “She’s also too much. We’re all friends, would I go and rat her out? She looks down on me too much.”

Zhang Xinhua was dumbfounded.

How did she figure this all out? He really wanted to applaud her!

Ye Jiajia just finished her analysis and suddenly became irritable again.

She patted the table and said angrily, “No, this won’t do! Dating so early is not allowed! Xiaoman’s grades will drop, and she won’t get first place anymore! No more homework for us to copy! She would no longer be amazing, and would be depressed and demoralized! She must not eat the forbidden fruit!”

“Yes! If the teacher discovered her, it would be over!” Zhang Xinhua also felt that it was very dangerous.

Ye Jiajia held her cheeks and thought for a while, then said painfully, “I think we have to talk to them. But since Xiaoman is unwilling to say it clearly, if we rush to persuade her, she definitely won’t admit it.”

“What should we do then?”

“Let’s do it this way, we’ll secretly keep an eye on them. Before the teacher discovers them, we have to find proof of their relationship. Then we’ll persuade them with love and reason, and let them understand that what they’re doing is not good. Hopefully they will come to their senses and escape the danger just before they fall off the cliff…”

Zhang Xinhua agreed with her battle plan.
