“Who would believe that? You immediately laid hands on Qianxue. With your behavior, you think you can play the hero?” Ning Caiwei said disdainfully from the side.
“I…” Chastised by Ning Caiwei, Lin Tianyu was at a loss for words.
“Let it go, Caiwei. Perhaps he really did want to help us earlier. The fact that he could easily overpower me just now shows his skills aren’t bad.” Ouyang Qianxue stopped Ning Caiwei.
“Qianxue, how can you be so oblivious? Haven’t you realized his true intentions yet? Those thugs earlier were most likely hired by him, so he could stage a ‘hero saves the beauty’ act while we were being harassed.”
“Huh? Is that so?” Ouyang Qianxue tilted his head, looking at Lin Tianyu.
“No! That’s not true!” Lin Tianyu hurriedly defended himself.
“Not true? Then tell me, Young Master Lin, since you’re not a boarding student, why were you wandering around near the school on a weekend?” Ning Caiwei interrogated.
“I just transferred in and wanted to familiarize myself with the surroundings, that’s all.”
“And you just happened to run into us being cornered by thugs? Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?” Ning Caiwei maintained her aggressive stance, showing no intention of giving Lin Tianyu a way out.
Watching the two argue, Ouyang Qianxue began to ponder.
(If everything really was orchestrated by Lin Tianyu himself, as Caiwei says, then what was his goal?)
Ouyang Qianxue glanced at Ning Caiwei. Since she was wearing casual clothes today, she didn’t look as exaggerated as on TV shows, nor did she have the restrained feel of a school uniform. Instead, she gave off the vibe of a lovely girl-next-door.
(Well, she is an idol after all. She really is quite cute… Wait! Could it be?)
Suddenly, Ouyang Qianxue seemed to understand something and looked at Lin Tianyu.
(I remember they are classmates, right? Not long after Ning Caiwei transferred, Lin Tianyu followed and ended up in the same class. And today’s incident too… Lin Tianyu must be targeting Ning Caiwei, right?)
Having figured it all out, Ouyang Qianxue coughed, then stepped between the two, separating the quarreling pair.
“Alright, Caiwei. Whether or not this incident was orchestrated by Lin Tianyu, he didn’t have any malicious intent. So, don’t push the advantage too far.”
“Fine. Since Qianxue is pleading for you, I won’t say anything more.” Ning Caiwei said with a displeased expression.
“And as for you, Lin Tianyu…” Ouyang Qianxue then turned to face Lin Tianyu.
“If you planned this whole thing because you have feelings for someone, then I can only say your methods are far too vulgar. If you like someone, you should tell them bravely and let them know your feelings. Even if you get rejected, it’s more sincere than trying to gain their favor through tricks. You must be genuine in matters of the heart. That’s what makes a real man, isn’t it?”
“Alright, let’s go. Lin Tianyu, you should think carefully about what you should do.” Having said that, Ouyang Qianxue left with Ning Caiwei, leaving behind a bewildered Lin Tianyu.
“What a complete failure,” Lin Tianyu sighed, watching Ouyang Qianxue walk away. His efforts to win over Ouyang Qianxue these past few days hadn’t made the slightest progress, instead, they had landed him in an awkward position. Yet, recalling the various failed scenes of his attempts to pursue Ouyang Qianxue, Lin Tianyu’s face broke into a smile.
“Huh? Why am I smiling? Ah, perhaps it’s because I haven’t encountered someone so difficult to win over in a long time, which makes me more and more interested in her.”
“Tell them bravely and let them know your feelings…” Recalling Ouyang Qianxue’s words, Lin Tianyu muttered to himself.
“I can’t even remember the last time I actively confessed to someone. But… maybe it wouldn’t be bad to try confessing again after so long. Especially if the object is that Ouyang Qianxue.”
