Don't think of rebirth.

Chapter 563 Arrogance

He Meng had no interest in Yan Changming at all. Even when she heard him say something that sounded like a confession, she didn't even feel curious, let alone being moved.

She lacks the romantic talent to begin with, otherwise Ai Ning wouldn't have been worried for so many years.

Although Yan Changming was so stubborn, she just said with little interest: "When you say that, I just feel that I am looked down upon."

"You want to pursue me just because my attitude towards you is different from others, instead of being touched by my experience, character or ideals - this feeling is too superficial."

Just then the waiter brought the food. He Meng picked up her own set meal and said to Ai Ning, "Let's go, Ai Ning, let's eat outside."

Yan Changming was a little anxious: "That's not what I meant, I just..."

"At least in my opinion, the meaning you conveyed made me very unhappy." He Meng said, "Today's lunch is your way of repaying my kindness. I accept it. I hope you won't come to me again in the future, otherwise I will ask the Disciplinary Department to handle it."

Ai Ning picked up her set meal swiftly, said politely to Yan Changming, "Thank you for the lunch," and followed He Meng out of the box.

There is also a public dining area on the second floor of the cafeteria. He Meng found a seat far away from the private room and sat down, while Ai Ning sat opposite her.

"After dinner, let's go to the small supermarket. I'll treat you to some ice cream with chocolate crust." Ai Ning said.

He Meng then put aside her unhappy mood and quickly raised two fingers: "I want two! One today and one tomorrow!"

"Okay." Ai Ning agreed immediately.

He Meng's mood improved a little. She picked up her chopsticks and ate while complaining, "That guy is so short-sighted! I thought he wanted to pursue me because he saw something good in me, but this is the result?"

Ai Ning nodded repeatedly and picked up the bell peppers from He Meng's plate.

Although bell peppers are not spicy, He Meng doesn’t like them, so Ai Ning is usually responsible for solving the problem.

"I now suspect that the girls he calls "all the same" are afraid of being entangled by him, so they deliberately behave like that." He Meng seemed to be thoughtful.

"It's possible." Ai Ning felt that this was not impossible. As for whether Yan Changming could see the girls' "acting skills" - it was obviously a bit difficult.

He Meng said with a bit of boredom: "Let's not talk about him anymore, it's a waste of time. Since he has transferred here, he will soon find out that the me who is different in his eyes is actually nothing big."

The girls in Mingde are so outstanding that they can be so talented. Class 3 alone is full of hidden talents.

Ai Ning was about to nod, but stopped and shook her head instead, saying, "That's not the case."

"Ah?" He Meng looked at him blankly, not understanding what he was saying.

"What I mean is, Ah Meng, you said you're 'nothing special', that's not true." Ai Ning said, "You are also very unique, it's just that Yan Changming didn't have eyes."

He Meng was stunned for a few seconds, then burst out laughing.

She put down her chopsticks, stood up, stretched out her arm, and patted Ai Ning's shoulder across the table: "My childhood sweetheart is still on my side!"

"But you never praised me like this before, and now you have changed." She withdrew her hand, feeling quite emotional.

Ai Ning coughed a little uncomfortably. In fact, he had wanted to praise He Meng like this before, but... he was too embarrassed to say it out loud!

He really wanted to let He Meng know his feelings, but was afraid of being rejected, so he couldn't praise her frankly.

Of course, things are different now.

Not to mention that sitting next to him is Xu Xinghe, the recognized love-brained person in Class 3, whose healthy view on love is enough to throw many people off for several lifetimes. Also, under the influence of Gu Qinghuan, everyone in Class 3 has made great progress in expressing themselves in the past two years.

Badgers: There is nothing we can do. The monitor has received so many straight balls that I have learned how to hit them myself.

Now Ai Ning can praise He Meng normally. It is better to say that Ai Ning has reflected deeply and he should have done so a long time ago!

The person he likes is so outstanding that he is attracted to her, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about!

The two of them finished their lunch happily, and He Meng didn't take the little episode brought about by Yan Changming seriously at all.

After leaving the cafeteria, Ai Ning and He Meng went to a small supermarket together and bought her her favorite ice cream.

The weather in September is still very hot, and it is so comfortable to have a cool ice cream after dinner.

He Meng took the ice cream, said goodbye to Ai Ning happily, and returned to her class. Ai Ning also walked towards Class 3's classroom, and was stopped by Xu Xinghe as soon as she entered the door: "I've been waiting for you for a long time! Come on, tell me how it went!"

Ai Ning's resistance was futile, so she could only honestly recount what happened at noon.

Even though he recorded the audio, it would be too time-consuming to play it back, and the situation wasn't serious, so it would be quicker to just give a brief explanation.

After listening, Xu Xinghe touched his chin and complained: "This Yan Changming is so stupid, it seems like he was spoiled by his family."

Ai Ning agreed: "I think so too. Maybe there are many older sisters and brothers at home, or elders who care about him."

"However, I thought you would be very angry if you knew he had ulterior motives towards He Meng," said Xu Xinghe.

Ai Ning asked him back: "If someone confessed to Yin Xisheng, would you be angry?"

Xu Xinghe was stunned, then shook his head decisively: "No!"

He raised his chin proudly: "The girl I like is liked by someone else, doesn't this mean she is super awesome! Why are you angry?"

After saying this, Xu Xinghe scratched his head again: "I still feel a little annoyed. I feel like someone else got there first. Also, I need to think of a new and memorable way to confess my love. I don't want to bump into someone else."

Ai Ning held his forehead, he underestimated Xu Xinghe's love brain.

He held Xu Xinghe's shoulders and pulled Xu Xinghe back to his senses: "If it were before, I would probably be very angry. I am Ah Meng's childhood sweetheart and have been with her for so many years. How could it be someone else's turn to confess to me?"

"But now I don't think so. Rather, this idea is too arrogant."

He and He Meng have indeed been together for many years, but what? As a childhood sweetheart, can he stop others from confessing to He Meng?

That's not the case. He can't be so arrogant just because he and He Meng have been together the longest.

The choice is in He Meng's hands. From this point of view, he, like Yan Changming, is the one being chosen.

If he really wanted to be the one chosen by He Meng, what he should do was not to stop others from liking her, nor to cut off her contact with others under the guise of jealousy and possessiveness.

He does not have such qualifications and should not restrict He Meng's freedom.

What Ai Ning wants is that when he stands with others, no matter how many "others" there are, He Meng will walk towards him firmly.

To do this, he must prove that he is the best and most suitable person for He Meng.

Xu Xinghe gave Ai Ning a thumbs up: "Very good, you are also a qualified love-brain!"

He put his arm around Ai Ning's shoulders and said seriously, "Next time someone says I'm in love, you have to speak up for me!"

Ai Ning pushed Xu Xinghe's arm away, with a sincere expression: "No, that won't do. It's better for you to keep this title. I won't compete with you for it."

Xu Xinghe widened his eyes: This is too much, how can this guy have no companionship at all!
