She laughed in surprise, "Classmate, do we know each other? How did you know I like Xu Zhimo?"
“It’s not important,” Shen Zhifei said with a slight smile. His smile seemed as warm as the sun, but the joy didn’t reach his eyes. “I just wanted to give it to you, it’s that simple.”
Chapter 007
Playing basketball suddenly became boring.
Song Lang was only interested in knowing what his usually taciturn younger brother was saying that had made the girl laugh so hard she was shaking with joy.
Do you only talk to girls?
He's always been a man of action, so he immediately tossed the ball aside and headed towards the stands.
"Hey, the game isn't over yet, why are you running?"
Zhou Sen yelled at him, but he didn't even turn his head. He just waved his hand and said, "Lunch is on me." The basketball court behind him erupted in cheers.
Lin Qian looked in the direction of the sound and saw Song Lang walking towards her with his coat in hand.
My heart is pounding like a deer.
"Hello Song Lang, I'm from Class 1, my name is Lin Qian." She tidied her not-too-messy hair, and her poise and confidence made her instantly likable.
Song Lang nodded slightly to Lin Qian, but when he asked, he was looking at Shen Zhifei, "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing," Shen Zhifei said before Lin Qian could speak. He stood up, the gentle smile that had been on his fair and handsome face gone. "I'm leaving now."
Lin Qian smiled and said to him, "I hope we'll have the chance to chat again next time."
Shen Zhifei glanced at her indifferently and said, "Mm."
He walked away without making eye contact with Song Lang the entire time.
Song Lang was a little angry. He was the one who reported him, and not only did he not apologize at all, he was also ignoring him.
Where can I go to seek justice?
"Song Lang, here you go."
A brand new handkerchief, light blue, with a faint fragrance, was handed to me.
As Song Lang took the towel, he glanced at the girl in front of him who didn't hide her liking for him. He was a little dazed and thought that this girl was really pretty, about the same size as his brother.
He remembered his mother teaching him to be gentle and generous to girls, so he said, "I'll treat everyone to lunch, you can come along."
Lin Qian seemed a little surprised and a little shy, "This isn't appropriate..."
"It's nothing, one more won't make a difference. Consider it a thank you." Song Lang waved the handkerchief in his hand and smiled at her.
Just then, the bell rang, and the people on the playground ran excitedly toward the cafeteria. Song Lang said to her, "Let's go," and then turned to call to his brothers on the basketball court.
Lin Qian walked beside him, her beautiful face beaming with a bright smile, which made several of his basketball buddies stare in disbelief.
Zhou Sen cheered from behind, laughing loudly, "Brother Lang is so fast! He's already turned the class beauty of Class 1 into our sister-in-law so quickly!"
"Get out of my way," Song Lang cursed at him, then said to the people around him, "Don't mind him, he doesn't know how to talk."
"It's okay, I envy the kind of relationship between you boys." After saying that, Lin Qian turned back and smiled and nodded at Zhou Sen, winning the favor of many boys, and Zhou Sen was completely convinced.
Upon arriving at the canteen, Zhou Sen instructed several of his buddies to get the dishes and soup, placing the best food in front of Lin Qian one by one.
Even more outrageous, when everyone got their food and sat down at the table, they would say to her, "Eat and drink well, sister-in-law." Lin Qian blushed with embarrassment and looked helplessly at Song Lang beside her.
Even Song Lang's attempts to keep the situation under control couldn't stop these kids; they've really gone too far.
However, he was also a little smug inside.
Lin Qian is beautiful, generous, and enthusiastic, and she makes no attempt to hide her feelings for him. If she were to become his girlfriend, it wouldn't seem like a bad thing, and it would be quite prestigious to talk about it.
As he was thinking about this and that, his gaze swept across the entrance of the cafeteria and he saw Meng Fanxing rushing into the cafeteria.
"Xingzi! Over here!" He waved and called out. Meng Fanxing saw him and waved back, but she didn't come over immediately. Instead, she ran to the window to buy food before the rest of the group arrived.
Song Lang glanced at the long table piled high with food containers, then got up and walked over to Meng Fanxing. "You've had enough food. Don't buy any more, or it'll be a waste."
“I’m not eating with you guys,” Meng Fanxing directed the cafeteria lady to scoop this and that, and took a moment to tell him, “Little Fei is waiting for me.”
Song Lang: "...Isn't Feifei coming to the cafeteria?"
Meng Fanxing shook her head: "I'm not coming. He's in our classroom."
Song Lang asked, puzzled, "Why would he go to your class?"
“Tutor me,” Meng Fanxing winked at him and laughed, “Don’t you think my luck is about to change? Little Fei used to refuse to lend me his homework, but now he’s offering to tutor me. I can’t let my little tutor go hungry, can I?”
Song Lang pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Okay, I'm not going to waste any more time with you. I have to get back now. You can eat by yourself." Meng Fanxing swiped her meal card, grabbed her lunchbox, and ran out, leaving Song Lang standing there speechless.
Well, the younger brother is ignoring him, and now the older brother has run away too.
Song Lang had no appetite at all during the meal.
After he escorted Lin Qian back to Class 1, he happened to pass by Class 3 on his way back to the classroom for lunch break, and he deliberately stopped at the back door.
Meng Fanxing was squatting on the chair like a big dog, listening to Shen Zhifei explain the problem, nodding from time to time as if she really understood.
Song Lang scoffed, kicked open the back door without ceremony, and went inside.
