Outside Class 8, Ji Xuan had been badmouthing Jiang Ning, trying to drive a wedge between him and Geng Lu. He put on quite the performance.
Who knew Geng Lu could turn on a dime? Her expression instantly chilled, followed by a sharp scolding.
Ji Xuan was a little stunned at the time.
From what he remembered, back in middle school, Geng Lu and girls like He Qingtang had never dared speak to a top student like him that way.
Ji Xuan's well-defined features held disbelief, along with a touch of melancholy.
After all, he was not one of those boys who felt dejected after being snapped at. Ji Xuan could still argue back.
"If a guy doesn't understand you, then you and him..."
Geng Lu cut him off at once, her tone displeased. "I said I spoil him. Do you have a problem with that?"
"Let's not keep in touch anymore." With that, Geng Lu left without looking back.
Ji Xuan remained where he was, blankly watching Geng Lu's retreating figure as his expression gradually darkened.
He asked himself if he had done anything wrong. He had merely voiced his thoughts normally and considered things from Geng Lu's perspective, yet this was how she treated him?
He had never imagined Geng Lu could say something so aggressive.
Ji Xuan lowered his head to look at his New Balance Shoes, then walked toward the neighboring Class 9 without looking back.
Fine, then don't keep in touch. Who the hell do you think you are? Ji Xuan fumed.
There were two classes that afternoon.
Jiang Ning only attended Gao Heshaui's class. As for the second-period physics class, the physics teacher had gone to Ancheng to tutor again, so everyone studied on their own in the classroom.
It did not matter
