CHAPTER 207: CHAPTER 207: COMPETING FOR ATTENTION AND JEALOUSY

But he rarely interrupted her words.

"I know what you want to say." Yin Qianze’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, and he smiled helplessly, "If possible, please don’t cruelly say those words out loud."

"But..."

Yin Qianze spoke softly, "I don’t want to pressure you, but... please don’t take away my right to be kind to you either."

"I’m sorry."

Those simple three words had already expressed her meaning.

In fact, the reason she chose to get into his car was to use this opportunity to convey her feelings.

This was clearly the expected outcome.

But Yin Qianze’s heart still hurt intensely.

He lowered his gaze, his eyes veiled in gloom.

To like someone—how could a mere "I’m sorry" bring it to an end so easily?

If he still doesn’t give up.

If he tries just a little harder.

Then, would Xiyan fall for him?

*——*——*

At school, during lunch break.

The cafeteria was witnessing quite a scene—

A girl with glasses, a scar on her face, and extremely unattractive features was sitting by the window.

On either side of her sat the school’s treasures—Ou Jue and Yin Qianze.

The two school heartthrobs seemed to be competing, constantly tossing food from their own plates into the girl’s bowl.

The surrounding students whispered among themselves.

"Hey, look! She’s Xia Xiyan from Class 1B, first-year."

"Why are Ou Shao and Yin Shao tangled up with such an ugly girl?"

"That Xia Xiyan is so hideous—could she be out to take revenge on society? I’m furious! How can she monopolize our school’s two heartthrobs by herself?!"

"Exactly! She looks fake and scheming. I heard some gossip that both of these school heartthrobs are chasing Xia Xiyan recently. Oh my god, what even is this world coming to?!"

The same doubt was currently lingering in Xiyan’s mind as well.

She paused, holding her chopsticks.

"Hmm? Why did you stop eating?" Yin Qianze picked up some vegetables for Xiyan and spoke in a big-brotherly tone, "Eat more greens—it’s good for your health."

Ou Jue, without expression, dumped all the braised ribs from his bowl into Xiyan’s, piece by piece. "Young Master here thinks this meat’s too greasy, so it’s all yours."

He remembered that this fool’s favorite dish was precisely this one.

Yin Qianze continued serving, "Try this potato slice."

Ou Jue kept tossing, "The fish is cooked pretty tenderly."

Xiyan stared speechlessly as the pile of food in her bowl grew higher and higher.

Enough! She really couldn’t take it anymore!

Xiyan turned to glare at the two clowns. "Big brothers, could you two let me off a little? Don’t you see the infatuated stares around us practically killing me?!"
