Chapter 305

Enjoy the delicate fragrance emanating from in front of you.

The Rat blushed and stammered as it spoke.

This was the first time he had ever had such close contact with a girl.

Moreover, the person she was intimately in contact with was none other than Miss Miao Lian.

This really made him feel flattered.

"Just call me Miao Lian, being called a classmate is too formal."

Miao Lian shook her head slightly.

After becoming friends with He Xue taught her many things.

Her arrogance is not suitable for interpersonal relationships.

True friends should have no barriers between them.

"Rat, I probably won't be able to go see the movie 'Alice for Lovers' with you this week."

"The shop where I work is too busy this week, so..."

Nan Zhu, who was replying to messages on her phone, suddenly turned her head and looked at the Rat with an apologetic expression.

It seems the movie that Rat invited him to see won't be happening.

The store just gave me a sudden notice that we have to work overtime this week, and this time I really can't refuse.

"Holy crap? No way? I queued up for ages to buy that, it's a limited edition!!"

"It's not that I can't go alone, but it's just too weird to go to see that kind of movie alone..."

Look at what's displayed on Nan Zhu's phone.

The Rat immediately put on a mournful face and said with a resentful expression.

You have to understand that he's been longing to see this movie day and night.

If Nan Zhu doesn't go, he won't be able to invite anyone else.

Should we invite the boss? But the boss clearly doesn't like this type of movie.

No way, they're really going to let him go alone? People will definitely look at him strangely, won't they?

"Alice for Lovers film? That's the one hailed as a masterpiece of fantasy romance?"

Just as the Rat was struggling with whether or not to go and be reckless by itself...

A tremendous force came from the back of his neck and pulled him backward.

By the time he realized what was happening, Miao Lian's beautiful face was already right in front of him.

His bright blue eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Oh? Yes... yes... I really like that director... I've always loved his movies..."

He felt Miao Lian's breath falling one by one onto his face.

The Rat, its cheeks flushed and its body tensed, murmured softly.

What... what's going on here...?

"I'll go see it with you! I'll go see 'Alice for Lovers' with you!!"

"I also really like that director; I've seen all of his works."

"I didn't expect your taste to be so similar to mine. You have great taste, Liu Qingshu."

Miao Lian smiled broadly as she grasped the Rat's hands.

I never expected to meet like-minded friends in my class.

What could be more joyful than this?

"Ah???"

The Rat was stunned.

What's wrong with him? Did he meet a female friend who shares the same interests?

But... this person is actually that Miss Miao Lian... isn't that a bit too... lucky...?

"No way..."

Nan Zhu, He Xue, and Han Yu were stunned and stood there dumbfounded after seeing this scene.

No way, these two are developing their relationship way too fast...

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Rat Wants to Change

"I am a big fan of that director; all his works are outstanding."

"Especially this time, 'Alice for Lovers,' was already highly anticipated by countless people even before its release. I think it will definitely be a masterpiece."

Miao Lian stared at the Rat with a look of surprise on her face.

Unexpectedly, there were classmates who shared her interests.

Miao Lian had already given up hope and planned to go see it alone.

The Rat's words truly surprised her.

"Ah, I, I'm fine."

"But Miao Lian, you... you really want to be with me..."

The Rat swallowed hard, its throat so dry it could barely make a sound.

He never expected Miao Lian to say such astonishing things.

The other party actually intended to go watch it with him; that's insane.

A beauty of Miao Lian's caliber actually extended an invitation to him.

But why is that? How could he, who has never been well-liked, suddenly be chosen by Miao Lian?

"What do you mean? You think I don't want to go to the movies with you?"

Miao Lian crossed her arms, somewhat puzzled by the Rat's words.

What does this mean? What does it mean to truly be willing to be with him?

This rhetorical question puzzled her.

If she didn't want to be with the Rat, why would she ask for its opinion?

"Ah, that's not what I meant. I was just a little surprised..."

"Because I'm not very popular with girls, I rarely have any contact with them, let alone go to the movies together."

"Besides, I'm pretty ordinary-looking, and I'm always sloppy. Apart from the boss and his crew, nobody really wants to talk to me... so..."

The Rat shrank its neck in embarrassment as it spoke.

Everything he said was true; there was nothing false.

Aside from the eldest Nan Zhu, there were also He Xue and the others who were willing to chat with him.

In this class, very few girls would actually take the initiative to talk to him.

"Yes, now that you mention it, it's true."

"You're rarely mentioned among the girls."

Even when they talk about you, they only say that you look sneaky and a bit sleazy.

Miao Lian nodded in understanding as she listened to the Rat's words.

He bent down and looked carefully at the Rat's face.

The other person's hair was not only messy, but their bangs were also too long.

The strands of hair on its forehead had obscured the Rat's eyes, making it difficult to identify.

It's fortunate that even with such a bird's nest-like head of hair, the Rat can still see clearly.

Won't that thick fringe obstruct my vision?

"Yes... so I'm really surprised that you, Miao Lian, are willing to go to the movies with me..."

"After all, I am very clear about what kind of person I am."

The Rat gave a somewhat bitter smile.

He could still guess how those girls would comment on him.

And it's no wonder that he has such a terrible image to begin with.

He was well aware that he wasn't popular with girls, and there was no point in explaining it.

"I'm not interested in the rumors about Pei Yu, nor am I bothered by how they comment on you."

"Besides, don't you think it's absurd to draw conclusions about a person based solely on their appearance?"

"I will decide for myself what kind of person you are, and I will not listen to any other people's opinions."

Miao Lian turned slightly, glancing at the group of girls behind her out of the corner of her eye.

He deliberately raised his voice a few decibels so that everyone in the classroom could hear him.

Because of Miao Lian's assertive and straightforward approach.

The girls who used to privately criticize Rat now lowered their heads in shame.

Most of the rumors about Rat originated from this group of people.

Miao Lian wasn't particularly interested in this aspect.

But I've also heard some girls make comments about Rat in private.

Almost nothing of it is true, and there's no need to take it seriously at all.

"Miss Miao Lian..."

The Rat had no idea that Miao Lian would have such a different opinion of him.

The other person wasn't just trying to amuse him; they genuinely wanted to go to the movies with him.

Miao Lian is a proud young lady.

But she's not the kind of girl who would easily believe rumors or look down on others.

"But you are indeed very sloppy, dirty and slovenly."

"Especially your messy hair, can't you tidy it up a bit?"

"Sometimes I really doubt whether you can even see the road ahead."

Miao Lian frowned as she looked at the Rat's messy hair.

Actually, what those girls said wasn't entirely unreasonable.

Just look at the Rat's slovenly appearance and messy hair.

This doesn't look like the kind of outfit a normal person should have.

"Forehead..."

The Rat scratched its shiny hair oil, looking a little embarrassed.

As he moved, a flurry of white dandruff fell from his head like a snowstorm.

"I think you should wash your hair and get a haircut before watching a movie, and change into some clean clothes."

"While I can't force you to follow your personal habits, I think you should at least respect your partner's feelings."

Miao Lian's lips twitched as she watched the dandruff falling like a blizzard.

My Virgin Mary, how long has this person not washed their hair?

Even the phrase "slick-haired youth" wouldn't be enough to describe the Rat's current appearance.

This dandruff... I must have been saving it up for the New Year...
