Xu Nancheng held her close without kissing, softly saying, "There are tears, silly Lin Menghan." He still felt guilty for not protecting her well enough and thought he had no face to kiss her again.
Lin Menghan understood and didn’t say much. She just smiled and urged him to hurry to class; if they continued hugging, they would definitely get a warning from the school later.
Reluctantly, they released each other. Lin Menghan wiped his tears before rushing toward the classroom.
At the classroom door, they saw Xu Dong darting inside, leaving them puzzled. Hadn’t he already left long ago?
Not thinking too much about it, Xu Nancheng and Lin Menghan followed him into the classroom. During the half lesson, they pushed their desks to the left side, not wanting to sit next to Shen Yaoqi. That would be bad luck!
When class ended, Lin Menghan and Xu Nancheng helped Wang Xinyue pack her things while Dai Yan assisted Shen Yaoqi. They were switching seats as agreed upon in the office; otherwise, it wouldn’t be good for anyone to continue sitting like this.
Finally, Dai Yan’s matter was settled.
After several busy hours, Wang Xinyue finally sat down in her new spot and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Wow! This view is really great!"
Lin Menghan smiled slightly and replied, "Of course! The middle seat in the front row has to have a good view! But can you handle this position?"
"What if I can’t handle it? Will you switch with me?" Wang Xinyue looked at Lin Menghan and then at Xu Nancheng sitting beside her.
"No way! Absolutely not!" Lin Menghan was no fool; if Wang Xinyue took her spot, how would she flirt with Xu Nancheng during class?
Hearing this, Xu Nancheng immediately took Lin Menghan's hand and firmly refused, "Exactly! Lin Menghan must not let that happen!"
At that moment, the smile on Wang Xinyue's face vanished, replaced by a series of twitches as she felt countless blows to her heart, crying out internally: "Heaven! Why is my fate so bitter? I almost got beaten up by Dai Yan over there, and now I have to endure my best friends' love display here!"
Seeing her like this, Lin Menghan quickly turned to Xu Nancheng and whispered, "Alright, Nancheng, let go for now! I’ll hold your hand during class later; Xinyue is getting upset because of you."
Xu Nancheng wasn’t unreasonable; he loosened his grip. "Okay, but remember!"
"Sure! I’ll hold your hand enough later," Lin Menghan reassured him before turning back to Wang Xinyue and pulling her into a hug. Their faces nearly touched as she exclaimed playfully, "Oh dear! Xinyue darling, it’s not that serious!"
Wang Xinyue hugged Lin Menghan back and teased, "Who’s unhappy? You fell for it!"
The two of them continued their playful banter while Xu Nancheng stood nearby in a daze, feeling like a pure-hearted warrior abandoned by a fickle girl.
In another corner of the classroom, Chen Yi patted the shoulder of Xu Dong, who was buried in his work. He pointed toward Xu Nancheng's direction and asked, "Son, do you think our sister might be bending?"
Xu Dong smacked Chen Yi on the back of the head. "What nonsense are you talking about? Our sister could never bend! If that were true, our Nancheng would only have you to date since he just got out of a breakup!"
"Why can’t you get over that hurdle? Don’t bring it up!" Chen Yi replied. "Just pretend I’ve never been in a relationship!"
"Okay! You’re right!" Xu Dong nodded symbolically before burying his head back down into his work.
At noon, everyone ate lunch alone in the cafeteria.
Xu Dong picked up a piece of meat and sent it into his mouth, chewing as he said, "Nancheng, you were really brave today! Honestly, we all admire you!"
The others were not to be outdone, enthusiastically flattering Xu Nancheng. He turned a shade of red but humbly shared his feelings, saying it was nothing special—just that he felt really angry and wanted to hit someone, so he did. He was telling the truth; if no one had stopped Dai Yan in that situation, he probably wouldn’t have seen the sunrise the next day.
As he spoke, he picked up another piece of meat and placed it on Lin Menghan's plate. "Menghan, eat well."
With her mouth full, Lin Menghan still managed to say, "Alright, Nancheng, don’t starve yourself."
Xu Nancheng just smiled and continued eating. "I’m fine, I’m fine!"
Xu Dong couldn’t hold back any longer. He slammed his chopsticks down with a mischievous grin. "Could you stop showing off already, little crybaby!" The last three words were emphasized, sending shivers down everyone’s spine.
Xu Nancheng and Lin Menghan froze mid-bite, turning their heads stiffly towards Xu Dong. Almost in unison, they exclaimed, "How do you know?" Their voices trembled slightly, revealing a mix of shock and embarrassment.
Xu Dong chuckled and glanced at Wang Xinyue. Xu Nancheng followed suit, both looking over at her. Wang Xinyue paused in her actions, giving Xu Dong a mournful look. "Class monitor, you..."
Xu Dong remained silent, simply gazing at her. She realized there was no escape and sighed. "I was just eavesdropping at the stairwell." She shot a glare at Xu Dong before feeling a bit self-conscious and unconsciously rubbed her nose.
Lin Menghan suddenly put the pieces together; everything they had said on the third floor that morning had been overheard by them. If it weren't for Xu Dong's sudden urge to tease Wang Xinyue, they would have been kept in the dark forever.
Thinking of this made her immediately put down her chopsticks. Her face flushed deeply as she buried herself in Xu Nancheng's arm and closed her eyes. To put it plainly, she had been eavesdropped on twice in one day—it was too embarrassing!
