I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 60 I'm a very tight-lipped person.

"what..."

Yin Mengran blinked her wide eyes, pointed at herself, and stammered:

"Can...can I go too?"

"Of course, how could I let you stay home alone? It's settled then, you're not allowed to not come."

Yin Mengran took a breath, then nodded emphatically and replied:

"Ok!"

Outside the classroom, Tong Yining looked through the window at the three people inside, her expression grave.

"What exactly is Ranran's relationship with Zhou Heng? Are they friends? When did this happen?"

Tong Yining had been thinking about this since last night, which caused her to not eat or sleep well, and she even didn't perform well in the exam this morning.

She tried to find a connection between Yin Mengran and Zhou Heng in her memory, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out how the two of them got together.

Tong Yining clenched her hands, biting her lip, feeling uneasy.

"Could it be that Zhou Heng... has started to like Ranran? Is that why he's started keeping his distance from me?"

Tong Yining was uneasy because she knew that Yin Mengran was far superior to her, whether in personality, academic performance, or even appearance; she felt inferior to her in every way.

If Zhou Heng really likes Yin Mengran, then she definitely won't have any chance!

"Tongtong! What are you doing?"

Just then, a voice that sent chills down Tong Yining's spine suddenly rang in her ears.

She immediately stepped aside, looking at the person next to her with a terrified expression.

Upon seeing this person, she couldn't help but feel a chill. No wonder her scalp tingled; it was Kong Yue!

At this moment, he had a fawning smile on his face, which he thought looked quite natural and handsome, but to outsiders, it looked rather disgusting.

"What are you doing! Don't come any closer! I'm going to yell if you come any closer!"

Tong Yining retreated repeatedly, as if Kong Yue were approaching a plague, wishing she could flee to the ends of the earth.

"No, no, no... I didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to ask if you're free this weekend?"

Kong Yue chuckled, rubbing his hands together, and looked at Tong Yining with anticipation.

Tong Yining was so frightened that her head shook back and forth like a rattle drum:

"No! I...I...I...My family arranged a blind date for me this weekend! After the blind date...I have to go home to harvest wheat, and then I have to go to work at the textile factory tonight! I'm so busy! I don't have any time at all!"

"what?"

Kong Yue's lips twitched. He didn't know what Tong Yining was talking about, but it meant... she rejected him, right?

Kong Yue noticed that Tong Yining kept glancing into the classroom, so he looked in as well and saw Zhou Heng and the other two.

"Who are you looking at? Are you looking at Zhou Heng and the others?"

Tong Yining glared at him, raised her chin, and said irritably, "What's it to you!"

Kong Yue clicked his tongue, then suddenly remembered something and quickly said:

"By the way, did you know? I heard that Zhou Heng and class monitor Yin Mengran seem to be living together!"

"Ah, okay, okay."

Tong Yining gave a perfunctory answer, then continued to stare into the classroom.

About three seconds later,

Tong Yining's pupils slowly turned forward, looking at Kong Yue. Her mouth opened slightly, her eyes blinked, and her expression was somewhat blank.

"You...what did you say?"

Seeing that he had successfully attracted Tong Yining's attention, Kong Yue continued:

"You didn't know? Look, Lu Yunshuo didn't come either, did he? I asked him last night when we were chatting, and he told me that because of this, it seems he doesn't plan to come to school anymore!"

"What exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"

Tong Yining stepped forward, closing the distance between herself and Kong Yue. Her face showed a bewildered expression mixed with anxiety, as if she desperately wanted to know the truth.

A hint of smugness flashed in Kong Yue's eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

"Oh dear... but it's not good to just casually reveal other people's secrets, is it? I'm usually very tight-lipped."

Although Kong Yue wanted to appear troubled, he failed to manage his facial expressions well, and his expression was that of a smug, petty person.

Tong Yining showed a look of disgust, took a step back, gritted her teeth, and asked in a low voice:

"Then...how can you tell me?"

"Hmm... I've been thinking about it. It's not a good idea to talk about this at school. If someone overhears and spreads it around, Zhou Heng will really get me in trouble. So... it's safer to talk about it off-campus. Um... cough cough, I'm free this weekend."

Kong Yue clapped his hands, then put them behind his back, looking around nervously, his words carrying a clear implication.

"You... want me to go out with you this weekend, and then you can tell me?"

Tong Yining took a deep breath, her brows furrowed.

She never expected Kong Yue to be so shameless as to use this method to blackmail her.

"Hmm, that's pretty much the gist of it. What do you think? Anyway, right now, only I know about this."

Kong Yue simply dropped the pretense and spoke frankly.

Because he could tell that Tong Yining really wanted to know about this!

Sure enough, after Kong Yue finished speaking, Tong Yining showed a troubled expression, as if she was seriously considering it.

Seeing that she still didn't seem inclined to agree, Kong Yue continued:

"Well, this is pretty explosive. I haven't told anyone because I'm afraid of getting into trouble. But I see you're really curious, so I'm risking my life to tell you. If you don't want to know, that's fine with me too. I'll just keep this secret to myself!"

After saying this, Kong Yue turned to leave.

He just walked slowly; even the old man with a cane could walk faster than him.

After all, this was his strategy of feigning indifference to lure him in; how could he just leave like that?

Tong Yining wasn't stupid; if she couldn't see that, she'd have lived in vain.

But she couldn't refuse! This secret! She desperately wanted to know!

She was shocked to hear that Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran were living together!

If we don't investigate further, she'll really be driven crazy!

After about ten seconds, Kong Yue had not moved more than two meters.

Tong Yining had already agonized over this decision a hundred times in her mind...

Do I really have to sell my soul in exchange for some information?

If, as Kong Yue said, this secret is known only to him, then we really have to ask him!

Anyway, it's just a short trip... I didn't agree to a date with him. After hearing the secret, I can leave!

Finally, Tong Yining raised her head and said through gritted teeth:

"Okay! I'll go out with you this weekend, but you have to tell me everything you know!"

Kong Yue stopped in his tracks, his mouth almost stretched to the sky in a wide grin, but he quickly composed himself.

Turning his head to look at Tong Yining, he said softly:

"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything exactly as it is!"
