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

Chapter 206 is simply... I just want you and Zhou Heng to be happy together.

"Zhou...Zhou Heng? How could that be...What is she trying to do?"

Yin Mengran was slightly taken aback at first, then, as if without much thought, a worried expression appeared on her face...

Whether it's true or false, her heart involuntarily skips a beat whenever she hears that someone is after Zhou Heng...

She could only sense Yu Lingxue approaching her, but she didn't sense any romantic interest in her towards Zhou Heng.

After all, she did a pretty good job of avoiding suspicion...

Tong Yining blinked and looked to the side, as if afraid someone was eavesdropping...

"I don't know either, but I've been observing her for the past two days, and I'm certain she's after Zhou Heng..."

"How can you be so sure?"

"This... uh... it's probably a sixth sense..."

Tong Yining was speechless for a moment; her brain almost crashed because of Yin Mengran's question...

She couldn't very well say that seeing Yu Lingxue like this reminded her of herself back then...

How could I not know what I was thinking back then...?

She seemed to pay the least attention to him, never even glancing at him, yet she would intentionally or unintentionally appear beside him...

He was a new student who didn't know anyone. There were more than twenty boys in the class, so why did he get involved with Zhou Heng?

"Okay, but why are you telling me all this?"

Yin Mengran's brows relaxed slightly. Regardless of Tong Yining's motives, at least what she said was helpful.

She just didn't know why Tong Yining was helping her. They hadn't spoken for a long time, and their friendship had long since ended. Now that she was saying these things, it was hard for her to completely believe her.

"I..."

Tong Yining stammered, "I just... didn't want her to succeed. It's not that I have any grudge against her. I just... simply want you and Zhou Heng to be happy together."

Yin Mengran stared into Tong Yining's eyes without saying a word, but her eyes seemed to speak volumes.

After a moment, Yin Mengran slowly spoke, saying softly, "I understand, thank you for telling me, I will be careful."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Tong Yining seemed to want to say something more, so she reached out her hand, but then slowly lowered it, hesitant to speak, a hint of melancholy in her eyes...

Long ago, she never dreamed that she and her best friend would fall into a relationship that wasn't even worthy of being called friends...

Perhaps no matter what I say or do, it's too late to undo it...

High school graduation is just around the corner, and this friendship may never be rekindled...

Yin Mengran returned to the classroom and saw Yu Lingxue already sitting there, but... she didn't seem to dare to look at Zhou Heng at all...

If what Tong Yining said is true, then Yu Lingxue must have had some contact with Zhou Heng when she wasn't paying attention, right?

With this in mind, Yin Mengran didn't rush out. Instead, she hid by the door, peeking over there, trying to find evidence.

But after waiting for a long time, she didn't see Yu Lingxue make any move. On the contrary, she felt that Yu Lingxue seemed very cautious and scared...

Zhou Heng clicked his tongue, slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and said:

"Tch! I'm going to find her!"

This sudden movement startled Yu Lingxue, causing her to tremble slightly, though not noticeably, but Yin Mengran, who was watching her intently, noticed it...

"Ok?"

Yin Mengran frowned slightly. She felt a little puzzled. Normally, even if she was startled by being slammed on the table, she wouldn't react like this, right?

This does seem like she's afraid Zhou Heng might suddenly hit her...

"strangeness..."

Yin Mengran muttered something, and just then Zhou Heng walked over, almost bumping into her...

"Hey...Baby...what are you doing here? Where did you go?"

Zhou Heng asked with some concern,

He was very worried because the girl suddenly left halfway through her meal without telling him.

Before Yin Mengran could answer, Tong Yining walked back.

Upon seeing Tong Yining, Zhou Heng frowned, a thought flashing through his mind: he suspected that Yin Mengran had been called out by Tong Yining...

Seeing Zhou Heng's gaze, Tong Yining was slightly taken aback, then lowered her head, remained silent, and walked straight into the classroom.

"It's alright, let's go back..."

Yin Mengran took Zhou Heng's hand and walked back with him.

At this moment, both of them had some doubts in their hearts, but they didn't say them aloud...

Yin Mengran sat back down and glanced at Yu Lingxue next to her. Yu Lingxue also looked up at her at that moment.

After their eyes met, Yu Lingxue quickly looked away...

What are you afraid of?

Yin Mengran couldn't help but ask, "This state is completely different from yesterday; it's really too strange."

Yu Lingxue poked at her rice with her chopsticks, pursing her lips, looking somewhat troubled.

With Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi both looking at her, the sight of so many eyes made her even more nervous...

"It's not that I'm scared... it's just... I'm worried. I'm worried you'll be afraid of me because I know you saw that video yesterday..."

Yu Lingxue stammered as she spoke, her voice growing softer and softer.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be acting, Tang Zhi spoke up, saying, "If there's a misunderstanding, you can explain it. We don't know the details of the incident."

"Will you...believe me?"

"Just tell me," Zhou Heng said softly.

"Um..."

Afterwards, Yu Lingxue told the others the truth about the video: the person she was scolding in the video was the bully, and had bullied many classmates.

The classmates all went to Yu Lingxue and asked her for help, because even the bully didn't dare to touch Yu Lingxue until she became someone they didn't want to mess with.

Yu Lingxue was also soft-hearted; seeing so many people pleading for them, she stepped in to help.

The bully dropped out of school, and she received the punishment she deserved for assaulting someone, but she became a hero in the eyes of many.

When Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran heard this, they didn't react much and didn't seem surprised.

Zhou Heng nodded and said calmly, "I understand."

Do you...believe it?

Tang Zhi said from the side, "We believe you. You don't need to lie to us, do you?"

Because she knew the truth, and knew that Yu Lingxue was not lying.

Yu Lingxue nodded repeatedly, saying with certainty:

"Yes! It's absolutely true, I'm not lying to you! And I have no reason to lie to you!"

"unless..."

Just then, Yin Mengran slowly spoke up...

Yu Lingxue turned her head to look at her and found Yin Mengran staring at her with her eyes slightly narrowed...

"I mean, if you're lying, then it's probably because you're trying to maintain a certain image in someone's mind?"
