CHAPTER 85: CHAPTER 85: REFUSING TO TESTIFY FOR HER

The angry voice of the boy attracted the attention of the entire class.

"Zhao Wei, did you dream that Miss Ye agreed to date you? With someone like you, how could Miss Ye be interested?" A chubby classmate mocked the boy.

The boy named Zhao Wei pointed at Ye Ningwan, his face pale and lips trembling, and said, "She...she did agree. She accepted my gift, didn’t she?"

"Wow, Miss Ye, you accepted his gift? What kind of gift? If I’d known Miss Ye accepted gifts, I would have given one earlier." The chubby boy exclaimed in surprise.

Another boy muttered under his breath, "Could the rumors be true? That anyone can give Miss Ye a gift, and she’ll accept?"

"I already returned your gift. Didn’t you see?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Zhao Wei replied, "I didn’t see it. Anyway, I gave it to you, and you accepted it."

"I didn’t accept it. You forced it on me, and you ran off before I could react. I don’t even know your name, nor do I want to say another word to you, so I put the gift back on your desk." Ye Ningwan explained.

However, Zhao Wei was very stubborn, "Anyway, I didn’t receive the gift back. You did accept it. You accepted it, so you agreed to be my girlfriend. You can’t go back on your word."

"A stuffed doll, right? Ten bucks? Twenty bucks? I’ll give you a hundred bucks, how about that?" Ye Ningwan pulled out her wallet and threw a hundred in front of him.

Luckily, she still had the habit of carrying cash.

Otherwise, if she transferred money via WeChat, would he have thought she wanted to add him?

"Ye Ningwan, how can you be so fickle and unfaithful? You clearly accepted my gift and agreed to be with me. These days, you’ve been flirting with me, so why deny it all now?" Zhao Wei yelled hysterically.

"Flirting? I didn’t see that at all!"

"Tsk Tsk Tsk, even Zhao Wei gets a chance. If I’d known, I would’ve confessed with a gift too."

"Wen Jianan, you saw me return the stuffed doll to his desk that day, right?" Ye Ningwan looked at Wen Jianan.

He was at the door that day. As long as he testified, this nutcase should accept her explanation that she didn’t take the gift.

"I didn’t see anything."

To her surprise, Wen Jianan actually denied it.

Zhao Wei yelled, "Even the class leader didn’t see it. Ye Ningwan, I get it, you like the class leader. So you flirted with me on purpose to get closer to the leader, right?"

"Have you watched too many dramas? I would use you to get close to someone else? Do you think you’re the second or third male lead? I mean no offense, but in romance dramas, you’re not even important enough to be an extra." Ye Ningwan switched to her sarcastic mode.

But Wen Jianan was worse, having clearly seen it but pretending he didn’t.

Ye Ningwan glared at Wen Jianan, coldly huffing, "Class Leader Wen, where did I offend you? Or do you all plan to gang up and bully me?"

"Ye Ningwan, who bullied you?" Huang Yunmeng stood up, "You’re shameless, flirting with all the boys in the class, stealing all their hearts. Using Zhao Wei to get close to the class leader, you’re truly a green tea b*tch, a fox spirit."

"Exactly, I thought she was looking at me weirdly, turns out she was trying to seduce me."

"Oh, if I’d known that’s what she meant, I would’ve jumped at the chance.

The other boys whispered among themselves, eyeing Ye Ningwan lewdly.

Not a single person stood up for Ye Ningwan, and they all took the opportunity to step on her while she was down.

Ye Ningwan took a deep breath and reached for her phone, preparing to call Wu Taotao.

Even though she had a sharp tongue, she needed someone to have her back.

Unexpectedly, the usually unnoticed, quiet Jin Yingzi suddenly stepped forward, raising her voice, though her head was lowered, to say to everyone, "I saw Ye Ningwan put the stuffed doll back on Zhao Wei’s desk. I can testify that Ye Ningwan did not take Zhao Wei’s gift."

Ye Ningwan looked at her in surprise.

Who would have thought that Jin Yingzi, who usually remained silent and didn’t talk to anyone, would bravely stand up for her at this moment.

"But I didn’t see the gift." Zhao Wei shouted.

Ye Ningwan said, "Perhaps someone else took it, how is that my problem? I’ve already returned it."

"So, you don’t like me?" Zhao Wei asked painfully.

Ye Ningwan rolled her eyes, "I don’t even know your name, much less have given you a second glance, so why do you think I like you?"

"You clearly flirted with me, gazed at me with love, communicated with your eyes, so why deny it all now?" Zhao Wei lamented.

Seeing someone testify that Ye Ningwan hadn’t taken Zhao Wei’s gift, the others quickly changed their tune: "Zhao Wei, you must have misunderstood! No matter how poor Miss Ye’s taste, she wouldn’t choose you."

"Right, you must have misunderstood!"

"I didn’t misunderstand. She loves me, but now she’s changed her heart." Zhao Wei screamed madly.

Everyone else burst into laughter, mocking him for being crazy.

Zhao Wei couldn’t handle the laughter from others and ran out in distress.

Soon, everyone dispersed to go to the cafeteria.

As Huang Yunmeng left, she gave Ye Ningwan a cold sneer and wiggled her way out.

Ye Ningwan walked over to Jin Yingzi, "Thank you for standing up for me."

"It’s nothing, I just happened to see it." Jin Yingzi replied softly.

Wen Jianan was also there.

Ye Ningwan taunted, "You saw it, and you stood up for me, which shows you’re a person of high character. Unlike some people, who claim they didn’t see even when they did, I don’t know if they’re blind or just have bad character."

Wen Jianan lifted his head to glare at her.

Ye Ningwan immediately returned the glare, unafraid.

What, did he want to compete on who had bigger eyes?

"Hmph."

Wen Jianan snorted coldly and left.

Ye Ningwan shrugged and smiled at Jin Yingzi, "Let’s go eat together."

Jin Yingzi looked up, a frightened look in her eyes.

"What’s wrong, you don’t want to?" Ye Ningwan hadn’t expected her words would frighten her.

Jin Yingzi shook her head, "No, I don’t not want to. It’s just... you’re the first person to invite me to eat together, I’m a bit surprised."

"I’m the first to invite you? I’m so lucky." Ye Ningwan laughed.

With that, she wrapped her arm around Jin Yingzi’s shoulder and walked with her to the cafeteria.

Jin Yingzi nervously glanced at Ye Ningwan’s hand on her shoulder, then her lips faintly curved up into a soft smile.

Meanwhile, Zhao Wei found a secluded corner and curled up to sob.

A woman walked over, squatted in front of him, and handed him a handkerchief, "Don’t cry. Crying won’t solve the problem. You should win her back. After all, she belongs to you."
