Ming Shu got rid of Cheng Yan with her smile, which looked a little ferocious. "Are we done yet?"
She would always meet this nerd, who was like a ghost haunting over the entire school.
Cheng Yan looked around and pulled on Ming Shu's arm again, leading her to the senior department with quick steps. His strength was surprisingly great, enough that Ming Shu couldn't free herself from his grip.
At this moment, Ming Shu discovered that Cheng Yan seemed to have hidden his strength before.
In less realistic words, was he giving in to her?
This idea was really too impractical.
Leaving the junior department, when they arrived at a rather remote place, Cheng Yan threw Ming Shu against the wall, with one hand propped up beside her. He looked at her with a kabe-don posture. "Why were you in the junior department?"
"Why were you in the junior department?" Ming Shu asked instead of answering his question.
He didn't come from the direction of the senior department, which meant he had been there before she arrived.
"You're not allowed to go to the junior department!" Cheng Yan said in a dignified tone, just like before when he warned her not to go to the old teaching building. "Lu Meng, I won't harm you."
"What's the secret hidden in the junior department?" Ming Shu leaned close to Cheng Yan, a big smile blooming in her eyes. "What is worthy of such a formal warning?"
Cheng Yan pressed on Ming Shu's shoulders, pushing her back against the wall, and looked into her eyes. "Lu Meng, why do you always ignore my feelings? Always doubting me, thinking I have some other purpose?"
"Do you not?" Ming Shu pushed his hand away, slightly raising her head.
"I don't. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you." Cheng Yan looked particularly serious. "Just believe me for once, all right?"
Ming Shu shook her head. "No."
Cheng Yan seemed a little self-indulgent. "Fine. No matter whether you believe me or not, I won't give up."
"Whatever." Ming Shu pushed him away, then straightened her school uniform.
Cheng Yan dragged her back with force. "Lu Meng, I'll say this one last time. You're not allowed to go to the junior department."
"You're annoying!"
Ming Shu swung her fist at Cheng Yan while Cheng Yan subconsciously moved his head to one side, the fist flying past his cheek. Because of his body's conditioned reflexes, Cheng Yan wanted to fight back, but he suppressed the impulse in the end, only avoiding his face being hit.
"Cheng Yan, you are not telling the truth." Ming Shu threw Cheng Yan onto the ground and squatted beside him, her fingers poking his chest. "You are far stronger than what you've shown, right? Why don't you fight back?"
Cheng Yan took Ming Shu's hand and sat up, propping up his body. "It's not something a man should do—fight back against the girl he likes."
Ming Shu pulled back her own hand fiercely, giving Cheng Yan a cold look. "Cheng Yan, don't be delusional. Are you trying to fool me like I'm a three-year-old kid?"
Cheng Yan said he liked her, but he was acting too deliberately, like it was not real at all.
Before, when Jiang Xun looked at her with amorous eyes, that was truly liking... although the one he liked was not her.
