Shen Yaoqi also sensed the gaze and turned to look. It was an expression she hadn't seen in a year and a half. At that moment, she felt a chill run down her back and quickly averted her eyes, afraid to meet his gaze. Xu Nancheng finally shifted his focus away.
Throughout the self-study session, Lin Menghan had not caused any trouble for Shen Yaoqi; instead, she leaned towards Xu Nancheng as if seeking support. Xu Nancheng reciprocated, and it almost seemed like they were about to embrace right there in the classroom.
After class, once the flag-raising ceremony concluded, Chen Yi, Xu Dong, and Wang Xinyue hurried over, anxiously asking, "Sister, what happened? We saw the commotion in the classroom just now."
Before Lin Menghan could respond, Xu Nancheng gritted his teeth and recounted the events. He showed no concern that Shen Yaoqi was sitting nearby.
The others listened with clenched teeth, especially Chen Yi, who was seething with anger towards his ex-girlfriend. He couldn't understand why she was so upset; it was probably just because she wanted to cozy up to Dai Yan! He guessed she had planned this all along and was using him as a tool. Now that she had been found out, she was taking it out on his sister.
As Chen Yi turned around in a huff, Shen Yaoqi snapped first. She slammed her hands on the table and exclaimed, "Xu Nancheng, what do you mean by this? Just because you're top of the class doesn't give you the right to slander people! I didn't do it on purpose; I apologized!"
Chen Yi wanted to retort but was cut off by another loud bang on the table. "How can you say it wasn't intentional? If it wasn't intentional, how could you have hurt Lin Menghan?"
Chen Yi and Xu Dong turned to look while Lin Menghan quickly got up from her seat to see what was happening. To her surprise, it was Xu Nancheng who had spoken up. His face was flushed with anger.
They slapped their faces in disbelief. The one who dared to stand up just now was Xu Nancheng—the same one who had been bullied by Dai Yan for nearly two years without saying a word. Today, he had actually stood up and confronted Dai Yan's girlfriend directly.
The shock wasn't limited to Chen Yi, Xu Dong, and Wang Xinyue; Lin Menghan and Shen Yaoqi were equally stunned, along with others in the class.
Lin Menghan looked at Xu Nancheng in disbelief, warmth flooding her heart as admiration filled her eyes. Yet she also worried that he might act impulsively and get into trouble.
Shen Yaoqi felt quite the opposite; words caught in her throat made her feel as if she were choking. She stared at Xu Nancheng in shock.
"Apologize to Lin Menghan right now!" Xu Nancheng slammed the table again and pointed directly at Shen Yaoqi, his voice laced with a hint of threat.
What else could Shen Yaoqi say? She didn’t know how to respond. Glancing at Xu Dong beside her—who looked like he wanted to devour her—she lowered her head, bit her lip, and said reluctantly, "Lin Menghan, I'm sorry! I won't do this again." Although it was an apology, her tone conveyed defiance.
Lin Menghan didn't say much either but didn't give Shen Yaoqi a friendly look. She simply nodded and replied coolly, "Okay! Just don't do it again." Then she was pulled away by Xu Nancheng and the others.
As for Dai Yan, he seemed to have run off to the restroom and was unaware of what had transpired in the classroom.
Once they reached the corridor on the west side of the teaching building, Xu Nancheng immediately transformed back into a compliant boy. He took both of Lin Menghan's hands in his own and smiled gently at her. "Lin Menghan, how did you feel about me just now?"
"Mm-hmm! Nancheng, you were amazing just now!" Lin Menghan genuinely admired him for putting Shen Yaoqi in such an awkward position; he had shown courage that made her feel proud of him.
"Hehe!" Xu Nancheng then glanced at the three beside them with a clear message: "You guys should leave quickly; I still have things to discuss."
The three of them weren't as oblivious as Xu Nancheng sometimes could be; they scratched their heads awkwardly. "Oh no! I haven't finished my weekend homework!"
"Right! I need to check on class discipline!"
"Yeah! I still have studying to do!"
They hurriedly ran off. In truth, their assignments had already been submitted; after all that fuss about discipline, they were among the top students in their grade—what more studying did they need?
Seeing them like this, Lin Menghan's face was filled with shyness. Just a moment ago, she had praised him, and now she was coming to take credit, completely unafraid of being seen by others.
Xu Nancheng, on the other hand, looked at Lin Menghan with excitement. "Lin Menghan!"
Realizing there was no escape, she decided to go for it. She glanced around quietly; there was no one in sight, which was good. Then she hurriedly stood on her tiptoes. Xu Nancheng was also eager, bending down slightly on his own. Lin Menghan then pressed her lips against his forehead.
"Is that enough?" Lin Menghan thought she could still tease him a bit, but now she truly felt helpless against this guy.
"Not enough!" Xu Nancheng said as he pecked her forehead twice more.
"Now is that enough?"
"Mm-hmm! That's enough!" Xu Nancheng beamed with joy, looking harmless yet thrilled.
Just then, the three who had just run off returned.
Lin Menghan immediately guessed that they must have been hiding somewhere to sneak a peek; otherwise, how could they have come back so quickly?
Thinking of this made her lose her composure. This should be the first time her friends caught them like this. In an instant, she felt her face burning and hurriedly leaned back behind Xu Nancheng.
She tightly grasped the hem of Xu Nancheng's shirt and shyly spoke up, "Don't misunderstand, everyone! We didn't see anything!"
