Chapter 158: Who Do You Support More?
After much effort (acting spoiled, acting cute, and going back on her word), Xiaomuqing successfully proved her body was very healthy.
The result was that after dinner, she could eat an ice cream given by her good brother, which made her very happy.
Although many things had happened at school, Xiaomuqing didn’t care about any of them, so her life was quite comfortable.
Regarding the relationship between Lin Mu and Ye Ziming, many people discussed it, and it was quite popular.
However, because no one dared to mention it in front of Ye Ziming, it indirectly led to no one telling Xiaomuqing about it, as the two were together 24 hours a day.
It wasn’t until two days passed, and on Thursday morning when Xiaomuqing went to get water by herself, that she accidentally learned about it.
“Huh? What are you thinking? I’m straight, okay?”
Looking at Lin Wenbin, who was also getting water, Xiaomuqing rolled her eyes at him and said speechlessly.
At the same time, she thought it was no wonder she always felt like someone was gossiping about her lately, and the way people looked at her was always strange.
Next, she learned from Lin Wenbin that someone had recently played a stock market game, with stocks for ‘the first school beauty’ and Lin Mu.
“Currently, your support rate is higher, after all, we haven’t seen that ‘first school beauty’.”
With a sly smile, Lin Wenbin stood by the water dispenser and said to Xiaomuqing with a smile.
It was a bit regrettable that after saying this, he didn’t see any joy on Xiaomuqing’s face, but instead received another eye roll.
At this point, he was starting to believe Xiaomuqing, but the rumors between the two had already spread, and even explaining it now wouldn’t be heard by anyone.
After all, everyone was a spectator, and how many of them cared about the truth? They only cared if the melon was ripe.
There was one more thing he didn’t say: their ‘Knight Order’ hoped Lin Mu would win, because this would make the ‘first school beauty’ become single.
Wow~ Thinking about it made him feel great, and there were even people who wanted to help them.
“Heh, boring.”
After a moment of embarrassment, Xiaomuqing picked up two cups of water, dropped a sentence, and turned to go back to the classroom.
After the ‘school beauty incident’ some time ago, her psychological resilience had become very strong.
Therefore, hearing about these so-called rumors, she didn’t have much emotional fluctuation, she just thought these people were really idle.
However, Xiaomuqing didn’t entirely dislike this rumor, so she didn’t explain anything and let it ferment.
Back in the classroom, she also told her good brother about it, regarding someone spreading rumors that the two of them were gay.
Then she was also surprised because after listening to her, Ye Ziming not only didn’t mind, but smiled and asked:
“Who do you support more?”
“Uh, this.”
How should she answer this? Should she tell her good brother that she supported herself more and believed she could end up with him?
It was really fuckable.
…
Thursday passed quickly, and then Friday arrived.
According to Ye Ziming’s plan, they would go home right after school on Friday afternoon, which meant meeting his parents.
Therefore, at noon on this day, Xiaomuqing packed several sets of clothes in preparation for staying there.
Thinking about meeting her good brother’s parents soon, Xiaomuqing felt a little nervous, but she didn’t know why she was nervous.
They were clearly pretending to be a couple, and they were going there to deal with his parents, so theoretically, she shouldn’t be nervous.
But she was still a bit worried, and even started thinking about whether she should bring some gifts for the elders when they first met to increase their favorability.
“No need.”
Understanding Xiaomuqing’s worries, Ye Ziming shook his head indifferently and gave her a reassuring look.
Actually, he wanted to say that as long as Xiaomuqing was willing to go home with him, that would be the best gift.
Moreover, after the video call that night, Mother Ye would find ways to inquire about Xiaomuqing every day, either by finding him or Ye Mengze.
During this process, Ye Ziming made some adjustments, and he didn’t let anyone else know about the Jade Pendant.
Therefore, the version Mother Ye received was that Xiaomuqing was a strong and independent girl who worked part-time to support herself and lived alone after her parents passed away…
When informed of this, Mother Ye’s impression of Xiaomuqing had already reached an unincreasable level.
At that time, Mother Ye directly told him to quickly bring her back so she could dote on her.
Thinking that Ye Ziming had already packed his schoolbag and brought all the homework needed for the holiday, ready to leave school at any time.
It was now after school, and the school was filled with joyful excitement because the National Day holiday had already begun.
“emmm, alright then.”
After receiving her good brother’s reply, Xiaomuqing thought to herself, and also packed her holiday homework.
Due to her absolute trust in her good brother, she quickly felt at ease and stopped thinking so much.
As they both finished packing and stood up to walk out of the school, they happened to see Fei Xun waiting for them at the entrance.
“Hi, Lin Mu.”
Seeing the two walking side by side, Fei Xun raised a hand and seemingly greeted Lin Mu, but in reality, she took the opportunity to secretly observe Ye Ziming.
Even though her disguise was good, almost no one around could see through her intentions.
But the extremely perceptive Ye Ziming could notice, so he didn’t have a good impression of her and completely ignored Fei Xun.
“Uh, hi.”
Seeing Fei Xun’s enthusiasm, Xiaomuqing couldn’t directly refuse, so she politely raised her hand and greeted her.
After she had refused Fei Xun many times that day, the other party still seemed to have not given up, coming to their class every few days just to greet her.
“Coincidentally, I’m also going home, let’s go together.”
With a sweet smile, she slightly shook her ( ) part, and finally blinked twice at Lin Mu.
After this series of actions, the boys in the class who hadn’t left yet all felt stirred and were very willing to go home with the school beauty from the next class.
But unfortunately, she encountered the unaffected duo, and this wave of actions didn’t deal any damage at all.
Even a scraping master would complain about her lack of strength.
“Uh… actually…”
Before Xiaomuqing could reply, she suddenly felt someone pushing her from behind. Based on the touch, she knew it was her good brother’s hand.
Then, with her good brother’s push, she directly walked past Fei Xun and was led towards the staircase.
Actually, this was quite good, because Xiaomuqing couldn’t think of a reason to refuse, and if she was taken away like this, then Fei Xun wouldn’t blame her, right?
“Lin Mu, do you hate me that much?”
Before she could take two steps, Fei Xun’s voice suddenly came from behind, not quiet and sounding a bit choked.
At this moment, she not only looked wronged on the surface but also felt very wronged in her heart.
Recalling from elementary school until now, wherever she went, she was always a school beauty, let alone boys, even girls would try tobutter her up.
How could she be like now, being rejected multiple times when trying to strike up a conversation with Lin Mu?
She wanted to add Ye Ziming as a friend to get to know Lin Mu, but both private chats and attempts to add them on social media were met with cold responses.
These two were unbelievable!
