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

Chapter 28 However, I can tell you're interested in him.

After finishing lunch, Zhou Heng went to the restroom. Although he hadn't observed anything specifically that morning,

However, if you accidentally glance at Tong Yining, you can see that she is secretly watching you.

He's starting to feel uncomfortable now; he feels uneasy during class, as if there's something on his face.

Zhou Heng turned around to leave the restroom when he was startled to find someone standing behind him.

"Holy shit..."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but curse, then looked closer and realized that the person behind him was actually Kong Yue, that disgusting guy who had previously pursued Tang Zhi...

He was standing right behind him with a fawning expression. It was a toilet, which made Zhou Heng feel physically uncomfortable.

"Brother Zhou..."

"What?"

"There's something I... want to discuss with you..."

"what?"

Zhou Heng frowned slightly. Although he didn't have a good impression of Kong Yue, after all, Kong Yue had caused him trouble before.

However, he had already apologized, so it wasn't appropriate for me to be too pushy.

Now that he wants to discuss something with me, I guess it's about pursuing Tang Zhi again, right?

"Um... I've given up on pursuing Tang Zhi. I've realized the gap between us is just too big; there's absolutely no chance..."

"Wise choice."

Zhou Heng nodded, agreeing with his idea. After all, he was right; there was absolutely no chance that this was true.

But if it's not about pursuing Tang Zhi, then what else do you need to discuss with me?

"So... I want to pursue someone else, and to pursue this person, I... I want your permission..."

"Get my consent? What do you mean? You can pursue whoever you want, it's none of my business. If you don't want to pursue me, fine."

"Well... there's a rumor going around the class that you don't like Tong Yining anymore. I came here to... ask you for confirmation. It's just... if you're not going to pursue her anymore... can I pursue her?"

Kong Yue spoke tremblingly, and after finishing, he immediately covered his head and hurriedly added:

"Don't be angry... I was just asking!"

Zhou Heng was silent for a few seconds, then walked past him and said calmly:

"Go ahead and pursue her, don't ask me, it's none of my business."

Kong Yue watched Zhou Heng's departing figure, a look of surprise and bewilderment on his face.

To be honest, he was already prepared to be taught a lesson by Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng had been pursuing Tong Yining for two years, and he simply couldn't believe that Zhou Heng would give up.

But the rumors circulating in the class seemed so true that he couldn't help but believe them, so he mustered up the courage to ask Zhou Heng.

I never expected that Zhou Heng would actually stop pursuing it?

There are quite a few pretty girls in their class, but only a handful are generally considered to be truly beautiful by the boys.

Yin Mengran is one, Tang Zhi is another, and then there's Tong Yining.

Kong Yue knew perfectly well that he had no chance of winning over Yin Mengran. If he did, the whole class would criticize him, saying he was a toad trying to eat swan meat.

Right now, the only one with the best chance of winning Yin Mengran's heart is Lu Yunshuo.

That's why he wanted to pursue Tang Zhi, but now he's realized that Tang Zhi has even less of a chance.

The whole class is saying that Zhou Heng is the only one with the best chance of being with Tang Zhi; the others probably have no chance.

Their relationship is close, which is obvious to everyone else, so there is no need to doubt it.

Since that's the case, Kong Yue thought of Tong Yining. Since Zhou Heng might be with Tang Zhi, does that mean Tong Yining's position is now vacant?

Should I give it a try myself?

Now that he has Zhou Heng's consent, Kong Yue feels that he still has a good chance!

"Yay! You can do it!"

Kong Yue jumped around excitedly, cheering himself on, as happy as if he had already succeeded.

Just then, a teacher came to use the restroom and made eye contact with Kong Yue. The teacher's gaze was as if Kong Yue were looking at an idiot. Embarrassed, Kong Yue immediately left.

Just as Zhou Heng was about to return to the classroom, he suddenly heard a weak call from behind:

"Zhou Heng..."

"Ok?"

Zhou Heng turned around and saw the person behind him, and couldn't help but frown.

In fact, he didn't need to turn around to tell who was behind him.

Tong Yining, she used to be my classmate at school, but she always pretended not to know me.

Calling one's own name in the hallway like this is almost unheard of.

She seemed to want to say something to Zhou Heng, but was too shy to speak, fidgeting and avoiding his eyes.

At noon, she saw Zhou Heng leave the classroom and part ways with Tang Zhi, and she knew this was her chance.

So she took action, determined to make contact with Zhou Heng while he was still outside the classroom.

So at this moment, Yin Mengran was in the classroom, trying to restrain Tang Zhi according to her plan...

Yin Mengran sat down in Zhou Heng's seat, looking at Tang Zhi beside her, hesitant to speak.

Tang Zhi put down her pen, looked up, and asked, "What?"

"Um... Tang Zhi, do you often play games with Zhou Heng?"

Tang Zhi paused for a moment, then nodded and replied:

"Yeah, what's wrong? Are you jealous? You're even jealous of his own family?"

"No, no, no! What do you mean, jealous... I... what am I jealous of?"

Yin Mengran panicked immediately and hurriedly began to explain, a hint of panic flashing in her dark eyes.

Tang Zhi suddenly moved her head closer, her serious eyes fixed on Yin Mengran's panicked eyes.

"What...what's wrong..."

Yin Mengran felt even more flustered under their gaze; those eyes seemed to see right through her. In an instant, her ears turned red.

A few seconds later, Tang Zhi withdrew, turned her head to the side, and chuckled softly:

"It's nothing, just kidding."

"open..."

Yin Mengran's expression froze instantly; she felt as if her heart was about to stop.

At this moment, Yin Mengran really wanted to say to Tong Yining, "Why don't you try to hold Tang Zhi back? Let's see if you can."

Staying here for a while will be a miracle if she doesn't drive you crazy.

"but..."

Tang Zhi suddenly adopted an unusually serious expression, lowered her head, and said in a low voice to Yin Mengran:

"Zhou Heng said he's interested in someone else, someone from our class. Do you want to know who it is?"

"Who is it?" Yin Mengran stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

Tang Zhi clicked her tongue and shook her head, saying, "Tsk, no, I'd better not say it. He told me not to tell anyone else, or he'll get angry."

Yin Mengran gently bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I...I promise I won't tell anyone..."

"Um..."

Tang Zhi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Tang Zhi beckoned Yin Mengran closer, and Yin Mengran put her ear close.

Tang Zhi whispered in Yin Mengran's ear:

"I don't know who he's interested in, but I can tell you're interested in him."
