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

Chapter 190 Apart from this, no one else has...

"Ok?"

Shen Linyi turned her head to look at Zhou Heng, somewhat confused about the meaning behind his words...

When Yin Mengran heard Zhou Heng's words, she understood that Zhou Heng was thinking of her own experiences and felt sorry for her.

You could also use your own experiences to make Shen Linyi feel better.

Ultimately, what allows someone who has experienced tragedy to empathize is another person who has experienced tragedy...

This will bring the two of them closer together.

Although it's a good idea, reopening old wounds is a painful experience for Yin Mengran...

"That's all...that's all in the past. It's the New Year, let's not bring those things up again..."

Yin Mengran hesitated for a moment, and her speech became hesitant, which made Shen Linyi notice something was wrong...

She could sense that Yin Mengran's experiences seemed truly extraordinary...

Upon hearing Yin Mengran's words, Zhou Heng also shut his mouth and remained silent...

This piqued Shen Linyi's curiosity. She couldn't imagine what kind of unspeakable past Yin Mengran, with such a good personality, could possibly have...

Even if she didn't know, she still knew how to respond.

Shen Linyi slowly raised her arm and gently hugged Yin Mengran's shoulder, whispering in her ear:

"You've worked hard too."

Yin Mengran stared in surprise, her eyes widening. After a few seconds of stunned silence, a joyful smile spread across her lips.

She and Zhou Heng, who was sitting there, exchanged a glance. Zhou Heng nodded slightly, a smile spreading across his face.

"Ah... thank you, sister."

Let's add each other as friends! Let's keep in touch!

Yin Mengran quickly took out her phone, wanting to add Shen Linyi as a friend. Now that she had successfully opened Shen Linyi's heart, she shouldn't refuse to add her as a friend.

Once they officially become friends, Shen Linyi will gradually become less socially anxious.

"Uh...oh..."

Shen Linyi hesitated for a moment, then slowly took out her phone.

When Yin Mengran saw Shen Linyi's phone, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes widening and her mouth slightly agape, her face filled with disbelief...

Because the phone she was using was Zhou Heng's old phone, which she hadn't replaced. The phone was already outdated and discontinued, so she couldn't buy a new one.

But... Shen Linyi's phone is even older than hers...

It can still be considered a smartphone for now, but if it regresses a few generations, it will probably become a basic feature phone...

Shen Linyi opened her friends list, and Yin Mengran glanced at it; it was truly...

It's a terrible sight...

There might not even be ten people in total...

Yin Mengran added Shen Linyi as a friend, looked at Zhou Heng, and asked, "Honey, aren't you going to add my sister as a friend?"

"Ah, I'm her friend. If she didn't block me... I should still be able to find her."

Zhou Heng awkwardly pointed at Shen Linyi and said with a wry smile.

"Um?!"

Yin Mengran looked at Zhou Heng with some surprise, not expecting that Zhou Heng had Shen Linyi's friend.

She had just seen Shen Linyi's list; it had fewer than ten people, and Zhou Heng was even on it? She hadn't noticed...

Shen Linyi lowered her head and whispered:

"Only Zhou Heng has asked me for my contact information... no one else has..."

"Haha...maybe I'm just...stubborn."

Zhou Heng smiled awkwardly, realizing that he probably hadn't thought much of it at the time. After all, he was a straight man, and not very perceptive, so he didn't care about those things and just asked for her contact information.

Others must have hesitated after seeing Shen Linyi's attitude, which is why they didn't dare to accept her offer.

Yin Mengran finally understood: it was because Zhou Heng had asked for Shen Linyi's contact information that...

That's why Shen Linyi agreed to let them come in and play...

Perhaps in Shen Linyi's heart, she genuinely believed that her relationship with Zhou Heng was quite good...

"Sister, are you in college now? A freshman?"

Yin Mengran put down her phone, looked at Shen Linyi, and continued to ask.

Shen Linyi nodded and whispered:

"Yes, freshman year... at... Dongju, Dongju University."

"Eastern pearl?"

Yin Mengran blinked, stared blankly for a long time, then looked up at Zhou Heng in disbelief.

Zhou Heng asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong? Is Dongda University a good university? Is it a first-tier or second-tier university?"

"No... this Dongzhu University is the university that Tang Zhi's parents made her apply to!"

"what?"

Zhou Heng's eyes widened, and he was genuinely stunned, utterly astonished.

His mind raced, and after a moment's thought, he finally understood...

"Then... we said we wanted to get into the same university as Tang Zhi, which is... this Tokyo University?"

"Yup!"

"Oh...what a coincidence..."

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran gasped, unable to help but exclaim in surprise that Shen Linyi was a student at this school.

Therefore, it seems that Shen Linyi is a really good student, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get into that university...

"Who is Tang Zhi...?"

Shen Linyi slowly opened her mouth and asked a question.

Zhou Heng answered, "Oh, it's my...cousin. My mom is your aunt, right? She's also Tang Zhi's maternal aunt. That's the relationship."

"Oh...so you guys just said...you also want to...go to my university...?"

Shen Linyi asked tentatively in a low voice, blinking as she looked at Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran.

Yin Mengran smiled and said:

"That's right! If we successfully get in, we'll be your juniors!"

"Ah...okay...okay."

The three chatted for a couple more minutes, and Shen Linyi gradually relaxed.

Yin Mengran did not intend to rush things, so she prepared to leave with Zhou Heng before noon.

Liu Ling wanted them to stay for lunch, but they declined.

Let Shen Linyi have some time to process what happened this morning...

I guess she'll need a whole day to process this in her room before she can fully adjust.

Before leaving, Yin Mengran said to Shen Linyi:

"Sister! Message me when you're free, I'd like to treat you to a meal, don't refuse!"

Shen Linyi stood at the door, looking at Yin Mengran's smiling face. She slowly raised her hand and responded softly:

"Ah good..."

Liu Ling, standing to the side, widened her eyes in disbelief. She knew exactly what was going on with her own daughter.

She already found it incredible that they were allowed to play in the bedroom, but she never expected that they would come out to see her off when she left.

They even made plans to go out for dinner together?

Is this still my own daughter?

After the two left, Liu Ling took Shen Linyi's hand and asked softly:

"Zhou Heng's girlfriend, isn't she a very nice girl?"

"Hmm...especially...good."
