Volume 2 High School - The Years of White Clothes Chapter 12

  Two people walked into the cafeteria, and as soon as they let go of each other's hands, they looked up to see Bai Hao walking towards them from the other side, his eyes still fixed on Ai Zi Qing's left hand. It had been more than half a month since Ai Zi Qing entered First Middle School, and during this time, she hadn't seen Bai Hao before, but she had heard that he was assigned to Class 1 of High School Grade 1 and had broken up with Xu Qian due to incompatibility. As an outstanding boy like him, it was natural for girls to talk about him all the time, and Ai Zi Qing wasn't surprised when she heard about it either.

  This was the first time they met after the holiday, and Ai Zi Qing keenly captured that Bai Hao seemed a bit different. The two of them exchanged a glance, and Ai Zi Qing took a step towards the cafeteria, Bai Hao wasn't very familiar with Xu Jian, but he also knew his identity, so he nodded as a greeting.

  Xu Jian noticed that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange, so he fell back a step. As expected, Bai Hao walked up to Ai Ziying and smiled, "Still getting used to being in No. 1 Middle School?" It seemed like an inquiry between old friends, without any awkwardness at all, as if what had happened before had never occurred.

  Ai Zi Qing glanced at him and felt that his personality had changed a lot, his tone and demeanor were not as gentle and soft as before, but he still nodded slightly.

  "He and Xu Qian broke up." Bai Hao suddenly said.

  Ai Zi Qing inexplicably nodded "I've heard."

  "Are you concerned about me?" Bai Hao's voice was somewhat excited. Ai Ziying furrowed her brow and shook her head.

  "Zi Qing, come back to me!"

  Ai Zi Qing finally stopped in her tracks. Bai Hao continued, "Come back to my side, I feel like there's something missing without you by my side, really! Forgive me for being confused earlier, okay?"

  Ai Zi Qing remembered that there was no such bridge section in her previous life, and she thought to herself, could it be because of a time reversal? Because of herself causing Xu Qian and Bai Hao's relationship to be discordant, thus triggering the breakup disaster?

  Xu Jian heard Bai Hao's words and found it strange. In his opinion, Ai Zi Qing was an ordinary girl who could be found everywhere in school, so why would an excellent boy like Bai Hao beg her to come back to him? It seemed that they had a relationship before, but then Bai Hao met someone more suitable and dumped her? Now he's asking for reconciliation? This was normal in Xu Jian's opinion. An excellent man meeting someone more suitable and breaking up was normal, so now the man has changed his mind and is making such a sincere confession, she should be touched, right?

  Who would have thought that Ai Zi Qing suddenly turned around, grabbed Xu Jian's arm, and leaned in close to him, whispering to Bai Hao "If you had appeared twenty minutes earlier, maybe she wouldn't want him anymore, I promised you. Now what are we going to do?" As she spoke, she seemed to shrug her shoulders regretfully, then stretched out her slender fingers, pointing at Xu Jian's chest and scolding "Someone is trying to steal your wife, and you're just standing there watching, are you even a man? Come on, let's go eat and then deal with you." After that, she dragged Xu Jian away to get food, leaving Bai Hao standing in place with a dark expression.

  Ai Zi Qing was just playing a prank, but it also happened to be a convenient opportunity to get revenge on Xu Jian's previous actions. Unexpectedly, all of this was seen by Zhang Yuanyuan who had come from behind, and her face instantly turned gloomy.

  Liu Xiaomei pulled Zhang Yuanyuan and said, "Yuanyuan, don't think too much, Zi Qing is not that kind of person. You see, just now she was definitely acting, it looked like she was angry with Bai Hao."

  Zhang Yuanyuan nodded slightly, still unable to bear some heartache in her heart.

  Xu Jian was dragged away by Ai Zi Qing in a daze, somewhat unable to react to the woman's sudden change, having just been gentle and quiet, yet suddenly flying into a rage.

  This scene also fell into the eyes of Tang Feng, who was eating in a corner of the cafeteria with Su Xi. Tang Feng lowered his head and continued to eat, but his eyebrows furrowed, and he seemed to have lost his appetite, as if he had been robbed of a toy that should have belonged to him since childhood. But after all, this is a school, and he is now a teacher.

  Su He felt a sense of oppression in his heart, feeling stifled. When Ai Zi Qing rejected him before, he didn't have this feeling. As they continued to interact, the two had always been calm and peaceful, getting along harmoniously without mentioning that night's events again. But suddenly seeing her walking hand in hand with someone else made him inexplicably irritable.

  He naturally inserted himself between the two of them and asked Xu Jian, "Going to the cafeteria to eat?"

  Xu Jian playfully looked at Ai Zi Qing and said "Yeah, with my wife."

  Ai Zi Qing's face suddenly turned bright red, and she coughed dryly, saying "No idea what you're talking about." It wasn't because of Xu Jian Wei's ambiguous words that made her blush, but rather doing something like that in front of friends, it was extremely embarrassing.

  Su Hei watched the two of them interact, pursed her lips, and wondered if Xu Jian was being serious. Xu Jian had always been a calm and collected person, even when using girls as a shield, he would only do it to a certain extent, how could he make such a joke? Moreover, the two of them didn't know each other before!

  He narrowed his eyes, and Su Xi smiled and said, "Don't joke around, even an excellent man like me was rejected by Zi Qing back then, let alone you." Although it seemed like a joking remark, in reality, he was pointing out the relationship between the two of them, making Xu Jian pay attention to his boundaries.

  Xu Jian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized "Zi Qing? Ai Zi Qing? I said why did she look familiar, it turned out to be your friend." But in his heart, he wondered, had the world changed so much that it's popular to find girlfriends like this now? What kind of magic does this Ai Zi Qing have?

  Hearing this, Su He let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was right, the two were indeed not familiar with each other before.

  After the three of them sat down, Ai Zi Qing suddenly said to Xu Jian, "If you can't give her a future, I think you should make it clear to her. Otherwise, she will collapse."

  Xu Jianyi was taken aback, and then slightly furrowed his brow, recovering his cold demeanor, saying in a low voice "She's just a shield, I didn't give her any hope."

  "Do you know that shield? Do you know if she will fall in love with you from now on? Don't do such boring things again, how many girls have been implicated because of you?" Ai Zi Qing's voice turned cold.

  Xu Jianyi was stunned, how could she change her face so quickly, and her changing face was even faster than his own!

  Su Hei didn't understand the conversation between the two at first, but later realized that Xu Jian's habit of randomly pulling down arrow signs had caused trouble. She watched with schadenfreude from the side.

  "Boring thing?" Xu Jian gritted his teeth.

  "What a boring thing! And it's extremely boring! With such a tall stature, how can you still have such childish thoughts?" Ai Zi Qing nodded, her voice somewhat puzzled.

  Xu Jian's face turned blue and red, with a murderous impulse, but in the end, he burst out laughing, nodded, and rushed to Su Xi with a smile, saying "This little girl is indeed interesting."

  "In fact, I can be your aunt now." Ai Ziqing said lightly and then started eating with her head down, Xu Jian gritted his teeth in annoyance, although he didn't understand what the sentence meant, but it was clearly not a good thing. Secretly resentful that he couldn't keep up with her train of thought.

  Watching Xu Jian, who is usually the most stable, being a pushover in front of Ai Zi Qing, Su Hei couldn't help but stifle a laugh, it was so painful that he didn't respond to Xu Jian's words, instead he lowered his head and elegantly started eating, even his mouth corners twitching slightly.
