I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 225 Some people may never be seen again in this lifetime...

"Oh dear! Why order takeout? Come on, let's grab something to eat. It'll save you time and effort, and you can get some rest earlier!"

Yin Mengran immediately took Yu Lingxue's arm, intending to lead her to the next room.

But the thought of facing Zhou Heng next door made Yu Lingxue feel uncomfortable, as she had a guilty conscience.

I'll definitely feel very awkward and strange then, and it will be easy for them to notice something's wrong!

"No... I think I'll pass, it's really inconvenient... You two are having a meal, why would I want to join in?... Maybe next time, next time..."

"Tsk, why are you like this... If you don't go, I'll tell Tang Zhi."

"what..."

Upon hearing Tang Zhi's name, Yu Lingxue was genuinely taken aback. It was as if the name was etched deep within her heart; every time she heard it, she would tremble...

Seeing that her words were having an effect, Yin Mengran continued, "Hurry up and come, or I'll have Tang Zhi come and invite you. I don't think only she has the influence to get you to come. None of us can..."

"Oh no, no no, I'll go... I'll go..."

Yu Lingxue's expression changed immediately. Regardless of whether Yin Mengran was telling the truth or not, she couldn't take the risk.

If Tang Zhi really comes and finds out I haven't given Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran any face, she'll definitely teach me a lesson, and that would be terrible...

"That's more like it! Let's go, Zhou Heng is waiting..."

"Uh..."

Supported by Yin Mengran, Yu Lingxue arrived at their home.

As soon as she stepped inside, Yu Lingxue couldn't help but peek inside, only to find herself face-to-face with Zhou Heng at the dining table...

"Ok?"

"!!"

While Zhou Heng was still wondering, Yu Lingxue immediately pulled her head back and bit her lip.

As expected, she still couldn't look Zhou Heng in the eye...

Yin Mengran pulled Yu Lingxue inside, saying, "Come on in! What are you thinking about..."

"oh oh..."

Upon seeing Zhou Heng, Yu Lingxue lowered her head slightly and extended her hand in greeting.

"Hello... Zhou... Zhou Heng."

"Hello, come and eat while it's hot."

Zhou Heng gave a brief reply and pointed to the chairs that had already been placed opposite him.

"Oh... okay, thank you."

Yu Lingxue sat down opposite Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran.

Even after the two of them started eating, Yu Lingxue hesitated to pick up her chopsticks, as if she was wavering and worried...

"Eat? Why aren't you eating?"

Zhou Heng looked up at Yu Lingxue and said,

Then, he gave Yin Mengran a look, and Yin Mengran immediately understood and put some food on Yu Lingxue's plate.

"It's okay, I feel right at home here. We're all friends, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, we're graduating soon, and the exam is tomorrow. I won't be your class monitor anymore!"

"Monitor..."

Yu Lingxue muttered something, staring at the food Yin Mengran had picked up from her bowl, lost in thought. After a while, she began to eat, very slowly...

Seeing that she was finally less reserved, Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran nodded in satisfaction.

Zhou Heng suddenly remembered something, turned to Yin Mengran and asked, "By the way, baby, didn't you say today that you were going to organize a class reunion after the exams?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Mengran showed signs of exhaustion, slumped her shoulders, and said weakly:

"Yeah, Liao Haomiao said a few days ago that his class had already made their decisions and asked me if I had decided yet... As the class monitor, I definitely can't fall behind."

"Yeah, that's true. It's good to get together one last time. Some of these people might never see each other again in this lifetime..."

Zhou Heng recalled his classmates, even though his relationship with them wasn't very good in the previous two years.

However, after spending the entire senior year together, I found that everyone was actually quite nice, and I was able to get along well with these classmates thanks to Yin Mengran.

At first, I thought these people were dispensable and not important at all, but now that I'm about to graduate, I'm actually a little reluctant to part with them.

Yin Mengran sighed and said, "But...where should we go...I haven't decided yet. I'll have to inform Teacher Wang later..."

"I know a place..."

Just then, Yu Lingxue suddenly spoke, instantly drawing their attention.

"Um... my family owns a hotel, a pretty good one. We could go there, it's probably only a three-star hotel, but at least it's free..."

Zhou Heng waved his hand and said, "Oh no, money still needs to be spent. A class reunion costs a lot of money. Even if your family owns the place, you can't do this."

Yin Mengran looked surprised, craning her neck to ask, "Wow, your family is in the hotel business?"

"Uh...not entirely...it just touches on that..."

Yu Lingxue felt a little embarrassed. She had only blurted out that she wanted to help Yin Mengran as a way of repaying them for inviting her to dinner.

But now that I think about it, Zhou Heng was unaware of his background. If he had known, he probably wouldn't have even looked down on their hotel...

Yin Mengran was quite willing, as she was just wondering where to go, and since Yu Lingxue had made this suggestion, she was naturally pleased.

"Great, then the problem of food is solved! It's her own hotel, so we can rest assured. Besides, we'll just consider it a visit to support her."

“Yes, I have no objection.” Zhou Heng nodded, indicating his agreement.

Yu Lingxue nodded happily and asked, "Okay, I'll make arrangements when I get back. Which day specifically?"

"Let's set it for two days after the exam!"

After dinner, Yu Lingxue prepared to leave.

She stood at the door, put on her shoes, and had just opened the door, not even taking a step, when she heard Yin Mengran call out behind her:

"Wait a moment!"

Yu Lingxue stopped and turned around to look. She saw Yin Mengran walking quickly towards her with a small bag in her hand...

"promise..."

Yin Mengran took something out of the bag and handed it to Yu Lingxue.

"This is..."

"This is a gift for you. It's graduation time, so I picked out some gifts for my friends, but this one is for you."

Yu Lingxue looked at the item in her hand; it appeared to be a keychain of a plush toy, a very ordinary gift.

However, Yu Lingxue noticed that this doll seemed a bit special; this doll... appeared to be a miniature version of herself...

"Oh..."

Yu Lingxue picked up the doll and stared at it. The doll looked almost exactly like herself; even if it were a coincidence, it couldn't possibly be this similar...

A smile bloomed on Yin Mengran's face, and she nodded:

"I made this myself!"
