Was he unable to eat, or was he making room for the things the girl had given him?
He looked at the spot on his plate where the chicken leg had originally been, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and then his eyes turned cold.
Su Jinning glanced at the girl, then at Shen Moyu, and slowly squeezed out a meaningful sentence through gritted teeth: "Ha, you have quite a few friends."
The tone of his voice was slightly raised, as if it were a provocation or a question.
The girl took a step forward and, seeing that Su Jinning and Shen Moyu also had a good relationship, immediately dropped her coy demeanor and resumed her playful appearance. She smiled and said, "Senior Moyu is a very nice person, so of course he has a lot of friends." Not content with that, she quickly added, "So, Senior Su, you'll be friends with him too?"
Shen Moyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, as if he hadn't recovered yet, while Su Jinning's smile became even more cheerful.
He turned his entire body away, not even sparing Shen Moyu a glance, and pretended to be very interested as he chatted with the girl: "Haha, yeah. So, you were just asking for my WeChat?"
When the girl heard Su Jinning mention the key point, she looked at him expectantly with her big, bright eyes: "Ah, yes, senior!"
Shen Moyu turned around in surprise, staring intently at Su Jinning's profile, but he wouldn't look at her, instead smiling and watching the girl.
What's going on?
Shen Moyu rolled her eyes at him. He was all sarcastic and had a long face when he spoke to me, but now he's all eager to see pretty girls.
I'm a little annoyed.
"Then scan me." Su Jinning's smile became even brighter, like a boy who stepped out of a comic book, captivating people's hearts and leaving the girl stunned.
After adding each other on WeChat, the girl flipped her hair and introduced herself: "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Qin Zhi from Class 2, Grade 11. Nice to meet you!"
"Ah, it's a very nice name." He rested his chin on his hands and praised it in a serious manner. His phoenix eyes already held an indescribable emotion, and when he stared at someone, his eyes even had a hint of sweetness in them.
Qin Zhi blushed under their gaze and quickly lowered her head: "Ah... thank you, senior! If you ever need anything in the future... I'll definitely help! Goodbye, seniors!"
She arrived quickly, but left very slowly. Su Jinning watched her retreating figure as her smile gradually faded.
"Is it pretty?" Shen Moyu asked, staring at him.
"It's alright." Su Jinning bit her drink straw, and her smile returned when she heard him ask that.
"So you don't think it's pretty?" Shen Moyu asked him, tilting her head cutely, but her tone wasn't cute at all.
“No.” Su Jinning said decisively.
"Not considered flirting?" Shen Moyu looked him up and down, asking questions that even she herself found baffling.
"Are you meddling in other people's business or standing up for the young girl?" He smiled faintly, but his words became increasingly sharp.
Shen Moyu didn't know where the anger came from: "What's wrong with you now? If you're sick, take your medicine."
"I'm not sick, I just don't like the look of you." Su Jinning didn't hold back either.
"What the hell?" Shen Moyu hated how he always changed his attitude so easily, and was so angry that she was incoherent and didn't know what to say.
The two people who were fine just a moment ago are now inexplicably engulfed in flames.
Su Jinning was sulking, but he didn't even know what he was sulking about.
Perhaps she felt bad about losing her chicken leg. Or perhaps she was angry that Shen Moyu had casually accepted someone else's seaweed rice roll without eating the chicken leg she had given him.
After thinking about it, I think it's probably the latter.
He clenched his fists, feeling utterly pathetic.
That makes sense, really. Their relationship was probably never really good in Shen Moyu's heart. The way she persevered at the sports meet and the way she leaned on him and shouted "We won!" were probably just for the sake of her classmates and teachers.
Just like now, Shen Moyu chose to accept someone else's seaweed rice roll instead of her own chicken leg.
Su Jinning scrolled through Weibo quickly, reading every post, but couldn't absorb a single word.
Chen Hang returned just after buying water and, seeing that the girl had already left, casually asked, "Hey? The girl's gone?"
"Hmm," Su Jinning replied casually.
"I overheard you guys talking about this. What's up? You've got your eye on someone?" Chen Hang, oblivious to the atmosphere, continued gossiping.
Su Jinning glared at him, but Chen Hang still didn't know what was going on. He simply sat down and asked loudly, "I also think he's good-looking. Looks like our Ning-ge is about to open a business?"
"you……"
"Bang!" Shen Moyu interrupted Su Jinning by kicking the stool, then got up and left.
The air was quiet for a moment.
"No, that's not it..." Chen Hang was startled, his newly ignited gossip mood instantly vanished. He looked innocently at Su Jinning: "Brother Ning, did I say something wrong?"
"Bang!" Su Jinning chose to end her conversation with Chen Hang by kicking the table.
"..."
He stood still.
I'm a little confused.
"I... what the hell did I say wrong? Even if I did something wrong, you two shouldn't trample on my dignity in the same way!" He stomped his feet and shouted at the door, but that was all he could do.
Just as he was feeling frustrated, he suddenly had an idea. His eyes lit up, he clapped his hands, and the veteran director Chen Hang quickly went online: "Hiss, could they both like that girl?"
Holy crap!
He exclaimed as if he were startled by his own thoughts, or as if he had heard some big news.
